  • This week we're following the River Dee through the stunning scenery of Royal Deeside in Scotland. Come with us to places that would have been familiar to Queen Victoria, and see some of the memorials to her that are still dotted around in almost every town and village.

    Loved the river shots! And that gorgeous castle and grounds, amazing! Some very interesting facts on grave stones. Thank you Bex and Ian, and lets not forget DeNiro! 🥰

    The bridge was incredible, post card is correct. The carvings are an added touch. Enjoyed the graveyard. Ol'John is likely hiding in a special spot. Very glad he was part of Queen Victoria's lonely years. I believe he softened her and took little guff.
    Such a beautiful place, so fortunate you shared.

    That was a lovely trip. We were in the Cairngorms in 2022 but didn't make it to Deeside. One day...

      It’s a stunning part of the world, we’ve not been very often in the past but it’s definitely somewhere we’ll return to.

    Beck I have my husband trained to make my coffee first thing in the morning. That way when I arise I can have a fresh cup. My grandchildren and I love making blueberry scones to go with my coffee and their tea. Dizzy, no need to apologize for saying "Picture Postcard Perfect". This was a most accurate description of the scenery of Royal Deeside. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. Give DeNiro a pat for us.

    Another lovely trip, thank you. A much enjoyed stamping ground of ours back in the day. A beautiful part of the Highlands.

      It really is. The west coast gets all the fame but this bit is even nicer :)

    Wow, that was brilliant. Really enjoyed all the scenery. You definitely have to try this wee experiment again. Thanks for taking us as well😁

    That is a beautiful river!
    Thank you for showing it from all directions.
    The squirrel was cute. At my door the red squirrels are the cutest. The grey and black don’t have the same personality.
    The wild turkeys make up for all the rest.
    Bye for now 👋🇨🇦👋

      Thank you. We do love a Highland Games, we’re off to Bute later this month for their 10k race then we’re going to enjoy the games.

    Lovely Deeside . Abergeldie Castle at 20:51 was nearly washed away in the 2016 storms . Love a visit to Finzean farm shop . Really enjoyed watching this, was only up Deeside a couple weeks ago.

      Thank you. We’d love to get a closer look at that castle, it’s in a stunning setting.

    I'd like to get that Saint Bernard dog statue for our front porch. Great video, well done!

      The strangest thing was there was a real one standing just over the road :) wasn’t brave enough to film it.

    Yes you have to be very careful what drone footage to expect on the Estates of Deeside, as it has been known for one to be taken down by a shot-gun discharge after flying too close to a certain castle of extreme interest to visitors and foreigners alike.

    • @scotlandonashoestring
      @scotlandonashoestring  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, not worth the risk, not with so
      much other amazing stuff to see.

      A “pleb” is an ordinary, common person like us :) It dates back to Roman times apparently.

      I would if I could get the bugger to stand still for long enough :)
