    Very striking residence. Has a majestic yet quiet resonance. I love the layout of the grounds, the woodwork of the interior. Very lovely.

      Hi Anna, thanks so much, hope you're well. Autumn feels like it's on it's way here and the trees are starting to show their lovely autumnal colours. It was a fabulous place to get married and we do have some amazing memories. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a lovely weekend. Best wishes, David

    This is certainly an amazingly beautiful stately home.
    I can't even fathom that being someone's home, ever.
    My grandmother was from Edingborough, Scotland, (not quite sure of the spelling).
    I'll never be fortunate enough to visit, so thank you for sharing.

    Wonderful video of Hopetoun House. Like yourself I only live a few miles from Hopetoun House but have never been in the house or explored the grounds. Your video has whetted my appetite and it is now on my to do list. Thank you so much for sharing this video , and also for the others which you have shared. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them. Many thanks again for sharing. God Bless

      awww, thanks so much Fred, you've really made my day. I would honestly make these wee films even if no one but my family watched, but hearing lovely comments like yours puts a huge smile on my face and makes it worth sharing :-) Hopetoun is absolutely worth a visit. The tour I did was brilliant and the grounds are very beautiful. Really glad you've been enjoying the other videos. I've plenty more in the pipeline which I hope you'll enjoy too. Thanks again, David :-)

      Hi Daniel, thanks so much. Really glad you enjoyed it. Yes, we do love to wear our kilts on special occasions and everybody looked amazing on the day. Our piper was dressed immaculately and looked amazing as he piped his way to the house with the bride. Hope you're safe and well in Uruguay and thanks for commenting. Best wishes, David :-)

    Marvelous! Evoked many memories of my numerous visits to Hopetoun House during the 1970s while I lived in South Queensferry. This videography visit was far more extensive than my "real-live" experiences, however. Thoroughly enjoyable; thank you!

    Great video again David, we have visited Hopetoun many times and love the grounds. We usually end up in Queensferry and have a slap up meal of smoked sausage and chips down by the boats. Scotland is truly an amazing country, we have never regretted our move here, and after over 21 years are still finding new places to go see, some courtesy if your excellent videos of your travels...stay safe...👍

      Hi Martyn, so glad you've enjoyed visiting Hopetoun. It's a great place to wander around and unwind. We often head down to South Queensferry too and enjoy some fish n'chips while admiring the bridges. We are so incredibly lucky to have all this on our doorstep. I'm really glad that you've so enjoyed living in Scotland. My father's side is from Brighton & London and has loved living here. Hope you have a great week, David

    What a beautiful home and perfect location for many different beautiful views!! I didn’t think I’d be ever be interested in such a stately home but your video has made me add it to my to-do list for my next trip there. Gosh, I hope I have time to see everything - - my list grows with each of your videos 😊 Take care and thank you for another wonderful adventure.

    • @DavidWheaterScotland
      @DavidWheaterScotland  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      awww.... thanks Inga :-) It's well worth a visit, especially if you combine it with a visit to South Queensferry which is just minutes away. The house tour is brilliant and the woodland walks are just beautiful, with amazing views of the bridges and the Firth of Forth. They have an excellent tea room in the old stables, which I hope will be up and running again next year. If not, a picnic in the grounds is ideal. They also run a farm shop a little further down the road and if you're an Outlander fan you can visit Midhope Castle which is very popular. There's also a ranger centre with ranger led walks which is great for any nature lovers. We love going to the Scotts restaurant at Port Edgar Marina for breakfast and then having a walk along the front at South Queensferry. Thanks again and have a great weekend. Best wishes, David :-)

    Hi how do I get to Nope Town house from the docks at Queensferry. Is there a buss?

    • @DavidWheaterScotland
      @DavidWheaterScotland  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Linda, I’m not aware of any buses that go from South Queensferry to Hopetoun House. The best way may be to use a local taxi firm and arrange for them to come back for you at a set time. Hope this helps, it’s a fabulous place to visit. Best wishes, David
