- Get ready for the adjectives: erudite eccentric Lucinda Lambton swims up the aisle of history (literally) at Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute, Scotland. Dating from 1995, it illustrates her ability to bubble with bravado about buildings.

A fabulous house and splendidly narrated by Lucinda, who I just love. Pity we don’t see her on tv these days.
What Linda failed to tell you is my dad one evening invited to a small party by the Previous Earl of Bute got the old man blootered on his finest malt and proceeded to fall into one of the many grand fireplaces and break it!
Some 20 years later I as a young Blacksmiths Apprentice was ushered into the building..to fix a broken fireplace..yes the exact same one! He cracked up when he asked my name you see and exclaimed to my boss the job should be done for free. A true Story.
Wonderful, magical - so wish Lucy was still appearing in these fabulously eclectic shows
Having been fortunate enough to work at Mount Stuart for over 6 years (we ran a successful wine business), Lucy's film brought back many happy memories - I indeed remember when she filmed. The vision of Lord and Lady Bute in continuing the 3rd Marquess's work was inspirational, bringing artists like Tom Errington and even Jennifer, Lady Bute's own daughter Katherine to contribute to the magnificence of the building. There is so much more to Mount Stuart than could ever be viewed by the public, unfinished rooms such as the billiards room and the armoury. I remember also the sense of community felt by the huge house staff and estate workers, and the fabulous house parties and trips on King Duck that we enjoyed. But what amazes me most is that it was very much a family home, despite its size, with every part being used. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, you will not be disappointed.
It has been a long time since you posted but I am hopeful that you will see this. My given name is James Stewart and, if my ancestry research is correct, Dugal Blairhall Stuart is my 7th Great Grandfather. Dugal is the brother of James, the 1st Earl of Bute. My wife and I are coming to Scotland in early October and we are going to Bute and to Mount Stuart. I am excited to connect with relatives I have never met.
Came across the book for this series, great book and she is so passionate about her often very obscure buildings and subjects from history, enjoyed immensely......
Yes, to "bubble with bravado" comes naturally when presented with a monument to the imagination like Mount Stuart. The architecture and craftsmanship are unsurpassed. Thanks so much for your tour.
What beauty! What grandeur! The past was splendid and puts our modern age to great shame.
she's wonderful.. she did a great one in Highgate Cemetery but i cannot find it
My grandfather Donald Stuart MacPherson was the official piper to the laird of Butte turn of the 20th C. When my grandfather fell in love with one of the household maids, the young couple were not allowed to stay if they got married, so the immigrated to NYC about 1920. The piper you show at the videos end could have been my grandfather.
Have been to Mount Stuart a couple of times and found it an amazingly beautiful and weird place. Much better than the rather dowdy Dumfries House .
me and my hubby and daughter have visited here and it is the most spectacular place we have ever been, well worth the visit ;o)
My ancestors was sir John Stewart sheriff of Bute in my line this is fantastic and his mother Moria Le Leitch (Leche )
I love her, so jolly-hockey-sticks.
Hello Mc Curdy family from America
@skawashers You and I totally agree on this one!!
If ever in Scotland...see this
Ozymandius in action...
As a Boyd...Ive heard stories of the BOYD CLAN...battling with the Stuart's
"... built by the third Marquess of Bute..." He must have been one heck of a stonemason.
Can someone tell me who composed the choral music? Thanks.
@Michelle Singh sorry, I should have been more specific, I meant the music that starts at 2:12 , is that Faure's too?
Love you're little scattish castle, how much ? Would look great here in great plains Texas...sandwiched in-between taco bell and walmart. Colors a bit bland, maybe brighten the place up with some neon and 🇺🇸 flags...😮
My DNA goes to the Stuart
Yes, magnificent it is, but what they don't tell you is that it was built on the sweat, broken bodies, and even deaths, of Welsh coal miners who themselves lived in penury. It is still in the hands of the Bute family
+Alasdair MacKenzie A little research shows that you are quite right.
So many vast fortunes were built on the labor and pain of large numbers of underpaid workers.
@@davehshs651 Yes it's a shame such a vast amount of wealth wan't spread a little more to the benefit of those providing it. I'm thinking in terms of men like the Cadbury brothers who built Bournville to take their workers out of the slums and provide them with decent habitation.
They never do mention the poor people who sufferd. 🙄
Great house, if you can stand listening to her.
Of course you wouldn't.
