  • Escape with me to one of the most spectacular castles on the Scottish coastline - Dunnottar Castle, in Aberdeenshire. This fortress has seen much of Scotland's colourful and turbulent history. Explore a little of it, learn about the geology, the history and the wildlife.

    I see this in my subscriptions, and I'm like "What is this, am I even subscribed to this channel ?"
    Then voice over starts and I immediately recognize, and remember that Falconery and Me was about to evolve.
    I never expected a video so eddited and written to be honest, but I like it !
    I'm still looking forward for more natural filming and talking about offgrid lifestyle and ornithology !

    Amazing place! And the estimated span of 5000 BC to 700 AD is just... Unfathomable. Must be such a strange feeling to be standing there, not being able to know how long ago the first stone was placed! My brain itches when I time and time again learn how much we are actually able to figure out about the past, but that so much more will stay a mystery forever. Like finding small traces of gold in a stream, while knowing that the whole mountain range beyond is full of riches that we'll never be able to find.

    Oh wow, this is so beautifully filmed and narrated Amy... Like a few others here, I took a wee while to " click " that this is you, with your new channel! 😊 One day I would so love to walk on Scottish soil, land of my ancestors, and experience amazing places steeped in ancient history like Dunnottar Castle. Sending love from rural South Island, New Zealand. ( Oh those pebbles on the beach! )

    History and nature, combined in a gorgeous video by someone who shares our passion for these things. So lovely!
    And drones have done so much to open up new ways to see so much in the world.
    Totally off topic: Heck, even other worlds! We've already sent one to Mars, and a plan is in the works for sending another to Saturn's moon Titan, the best place for powered flight in the solar system, since it has a thicker atmosphere than earth, for lots of lift, and only about 14% of earth's gravity, making everything lighter. Can anyone tell what another passion of mine is?

    My ancestors on my Dad's side hailed from Inverness In the Scottish Highlands. I'm fairly certain they were farmers. First ancestor left Scotland in his early twenties and settled in Tennessee around 1750 (I live in California btw). Really enjoyed the tour of Dunnotter Castle and learning about its history. Your son was enjoying it too--he's a cutie. Thanks, Amy!

    Hi Amy. Today I found the "newly named" channel because there was a clip of you in a story on AOL. I like your theory about the birds in the woods as the possibility for the "spooky" sounds that create myths & legends. I LOVE the video of Dunnottar Castle. Absolutely beautiful. You mentioned how Clan Keith owned the castle in the past. Clan Keith is "my clan" so it was nice to see "the old homestead." LOL. Thanks for sharing an interesting place. I look forward to seeing more wings and wild lands. Thank you.

    Haven’t been well recently, only just saw this and realised the name change lol. Amy, this is an absolutely stunning film you’ve made. I love how you’ve told the history story of Dunnottar castle and captured its beautiful and rather majestic surroundings. I love your reflection at the end of how you felt walking in the footsteps of those before you all throughout the centuries. Can’t wait to see more adventures.

  • @Neilhuny
    @Neilhuny 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I first visited there with a friend in 1980, to be greeted by a local lady with a very broad local accent waving what looked like a duster or tea-towel out of the highest window you see in the entry tower, screaming "We're no open, ye can't come in! It's a Sunday!"
    Presumably a caretaker of some sort. In fairness, she had to bellow to be heard above the wind and waves

      @wingsandwildlands  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The steps are brutal! You can still get some beautiful views from the cliff top if you park at the car park. It doesn't cost to do that. You only pay when you get inside the castle.
