#witches #witchcraft #dornoch
Thanks guys, I always love these history lessons! This one seems especially apropos over here across the Pond in the USA . We are seeing the rise of so much misinformation and hatred that I wonder when they will start burning people again? As a Gay married couple like you two, I am especially concerned with the rise of the extremely intolerant religious Right (an oxymoron for sure!). Remembering the excesses of the past as you did in today's vlog is a helpful antidote to all this horrific nonsense and disinformation. Thanks for digging up these facts from history and presenting them with humor, and at the same time with an eye to the serious lesson that we all need to heed today.
@@djhrecordhound4391 Agreed! Well said.
Oh Colin !you make our day , my wife and I absolutely love all of the history you share with us all wherever you are , we are in our late 60s and luv you both and look forward to every vlog . Have a fantastic week .luv and blessings from Australia 💙💙🐕
Shawn’s reaction to Elizabeth Dick is proof that aging is mandatory but growing up is purely optional.
Great episode as alway. Cheers!
Your take on the history is so interesting. I’m always waiting in anticipation for your Friday vlog.
Love all the bits of history you guys share, even the sad parts. All the best, Gloria
Thanks guys! The sad history of witchcraft was here in the states too.
Wow, just realised that the weekend officially begins with your vlog for me. Such horrid part of history (some may consider insignificant probably) and yet I think it’s important to know about, thank you for the amazing research, it is much appreciated as always:)
Colin, if my history teachers back in school had had just a 1/10th of your ability to tell a story and make it as interesting, as you do then I might actually have learned something in those classes. As of now, I just have to pick it up from other sources like to just mention one other source: The history guy, history needs to be remembered. You are doing a great job telling us ignorants what has happened before all the high school soaps on the TV.
Even though you two have gone ashore now, you're still one of my favorite Friday pastimes. Keep up the good work!
You both are definitely my favourite u-tube couple. Keep up the good vlogs. Thank you!
You guys really do a great job telling a story, thank you, very entertaining!
Thanks. I love the pleasure you're getting from your new home, regardless of the topic.
A historical tale told with skill and humour.
Thanks for a most informative vlog today. Always look forward to getting my ‘Scotland fix’ on Friday. Have a great weekend ❤🏴
Hi guys really enjoying your Scottish stories. We are looking forward to a trip up to Inverness in a couple of weeks, I found myself checking out what people were wearing in the background to inform our packing!!!!
💙💙💙 So very interesting and sad really how women got burnt, her last words were heartbreaking… beautiful place though, the architecture is amazing.
Love the outtakes. Have a super lovely weekend boys! Hug Ottis please. 💙💙💙
rough week, got my weekly "you can't say that!!" so all better lol
Thanks again for all the research that goes in to making these vlogs interesting. There's a direct line of fear, anger and misogyny from witch trials to female emancipation to the suffragettes to every woman who still has to battle sexist attitudes to do what her brother can do without question. Sadly, the word 'witch' is still more insult than adjective. Also Dornoch is beautiful.
Interesting vlog Colin, well done.
I had a couple of long weekends at Skibo Castle. One corporate event and one romantically that ended in disaster. Good to see you two again and again the history lessons are fascinating. You should visit Skibo Castle if you can.
THANK YOU for sharing Janet's story. Another GREAT Vlog.
Our family referred to fist sized stones as dornochs. We are in USA and they may have got it from my Uncle whose family came from Scotland. Now it makes sense........................I think.....
That was nice. One thing, it's probably just me (But I loved it) being left handed and dyslexic, when I watched the Jeep reverse and the subsequent footage of the car travelling, it was still going backwards in my brain. Having a wonky brain is better than drugs ;))
Colin love this video. I am learning so much about Scotland from your videos. Thanks for them. I waiting in adisapation for next Friday's video.
Good morning from NZ. Colin you are pretty magic on history, absolutely. We look forward to your videos. Shawn, you are just as precious as Colin. We love your laughing and " you can't say that ". Love you both. Cheers and thank you. Hugs for Otis.👍👌😀😀
I've really been enjoying the wide variety of subjects you've been covering, and this is no exception. Being a trainspotter, I'm looking forward to the Dornoch branch line video. TRAAAIN!
Brilliant as usual! Thank you both.
I love your history stories Colin. We had witches in Massachusetts at the town of Salem.
I read this and thought of you: The Lake Isle of Innisfree
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
n/a
Such a beautiful poem. Thank you for posting it.
Whenever I find a natural spot that brings me peace I think of that bee-loud glade...such a rich image.
Thank you blessings from Queensland Australia
Brilliant! (As usual.)
Another informative vid and Dornoch looks just as good now as in 1991 when I was last there with uncle Sam. I thoroughly enjoy watching you boys every saturday morning here in NZ. Keep it up and I hope your bees produce as much honey as ours.
Lovely drone footage.
Excellent one chaps....xx
Meanwhile down here in Bideford North Devon there is a plaque on the town library in memory of the 3 last witches to be hung in England. Great Video as always !
Love the historical content and everything else you are doing guys! Can’t get enough of it. Love you both!
Another excellent vlog. I really look forward to seeing you gents on Fridays. Best from Central Michigan!
Great vlog ( as always ) such sad history, but told in a very entertaining way. Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Thank you for this interesting video.
You kids are taking me places I have dreamed of visiting - love you guys - thank you so much for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant well done. Love your vlogs keep them up xxx
You guys are modern day abbot and costello......love it....keep going, love the stories......
So interesting.
Thanks for the fascinating story. I'm glad the church and govt have apologised.
Wow you guys look fabulous! Look at your tan!
I believe Madonna got married in that cathedral. There was a load of tourists there taking photos of it when I went there
You two just magically made a great video.
Now brew a new one.
What a sad story, but excellent told - thank you :)
Great vlog. We need 2x a week, 1st on the farm, and 2nd the history and surroundings. PS: I saw a live webcam today of someone's chicken coop. Been here since the beginning. 😉👍
Janet's last words were very poignant and sad even all these centuries later and the church etc were a bit late with the apologies, as for no more witches, I beg to differ , I know I used to work with a couple .
Take care lads .
another good story
Shame the vlogs are so short . Enjoyed this one

You love a bit of dorning. Loved the double entendres in this one. You are on top form. Great content.
If you are ever at North Uist, visit the Udal dig and look up Udal Law in Scotland. May make an interesting movie.
Dornoch beach is gorgeous!!! one of my favourite places. have been to all those places you were at! well done with the old whale joke...........................🤣🤣
Fisting! Haha! Apparently, you CAN say that. Thanks for the laughs gents! ❤️
Excellent...😁
In one moment you are mindblown from all that interesting information 🤯, in the next you try not to pee your pants over the outtakes. 🤣
Hey guys love the show. I really fancy this narrow boat lifestyle but now I’m talking to my friends about it. Now they are calling me a water pikey. Everyone in my local pub is calling me a water pikey. It was funny at first but now it’s not. I’ve decided I’m saying in my house 🤣🤣🤣
I went to carpentry school with another student who’s legal name .is Harry Dick🤣🤣🤣🤣💕 He said his father was a funny man🤣🤣
Only you can combine stories about fisting and witchcraft in the same video. Marvelously insane :)
We had one in my village and they let her go done by the butcher as he was also the magistrate and undertaker (stambourne, Essex)
She rode her daughter to meetings as it saves walking, you know it make sense. 😂😎👍🏻
doubtless you will get round to Andrew Carnegie's connection to Dornoch 😀
Madonna married Guy Ritchie?
Dorn at dawn ? You two are hilarious....keep taking the medicine...hic ...
Shaun's tombstone will read: "Here Lies Shaun....You Can't Say That!"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What a sad story 😢. Poor Janet.
How do you do it?. I've been lost since I lost my soul mate to cancer and not only lost
my partner but lost everything. Least you have each other. Collin is so lucky. I'm 61 and don't have your luck...but keep going. Like I said you are both inspired. You help me and therefore others. Xx
Great story on the witches and Dornoch. So glad the Scottish Parliament/church apologised etc etc. look forward to more. 💗💗🙋♀️🙋♀️
I swear you two could describe paint drying and make it interesting!
Thanks for another good one! x
You guys are absolutely smashing it. I know it sounds a bit sad but I've been struggling a bit with my mental health recently and your videos really give me a boost.
I just want to say how jealous I am of the love the two of you share. It makes me jealous and happy at the same time to know the two people can be so in love and share such a wonderful life together. Together the two of you overcome all the issues of living in today's world and as a team you face the future. That is not always a beautiful thing but a very rare thing in these days. Although I miss the time you spent on your boat I cherish any and all of your videos and will follow you anywhere in the world. Your humor, love and satirical approach to life it is just my cup of tea and brings joy to mine. I've been to England once back in the '80s I loved every second of it. I'm from the United States in Florida but plan to come over and do an extended stay and rent a narrow boat for a few weeks and travel the country. I hope I have the pleasure someday of meeting both of you.
Love the historic snippets and the innuendo. So many people were killed because of religious fanaticism in the past. Glad they received a posthumous pardon even though that doesn't atone for such terrible deaths.
You are the masters of video story telling! Every detail is spot on. I know you do not need any more put on you. But how about, Silver Fox University of Cinematic Production? Great work!
As a hedge witch it always gives me the shivers hearing about the trials. But great video guys really love your sense of humour. 👍❤️👍
Accused: "They dressed me up like this!" Accuser: "Well we did do the nose. … And the hat. But she's a witch!!"
Oh the things I will see and the knowledge I will gain once I travel to your beautiful UK! I am so glad that you've moved off the Cut and expanded your lovely Channel. :)
Thank you for all the research you do for these videos. You guys are wonderful.
Funny sad informative..Well done guys
Can’t wait to hear about the Dornoch “traaaaain”!
A new word to turn Shaun red: "Dorning".
Thanks for the vlog. Put smile on my face.
6.31 did anyone else see the hooded white figure walk past
More tidbits of local lore, and lovely views of a lovely Scottish area (town/village/city?). Just the thing to start my Friday. ATB
Nice part of the world, we were up there just after Madonna got wed. Locals didn't do to bad from renting rooms out to the world's press - apparently.
Thank you for another fun vlog guys, I loved it. Thank you Colin for another history lesson, it was fascinating. I was only aware of the witch hunts here in America and it never dawned on me that it also happened in Europe. Have a blessed day gentleman
I'm amazed you got through it with Sean's giggles, fascinating again
Love this as a practicing “ witch “or healer so many women were murdered and wrongly accused. Love the channel ❤️👻
Brilliant video, thank you so much xx
Information is power, remembering it, too 😉😉
Interesting info about witches . About 400 people were executed for witchcraft, here in Sweden. The last one, in 1704. Thank you for telling history, in a interesting mode.
"They swim... the mark of Satan is upon them. They must hang." Great vlog chaps.
Colin and Sean’s “ a history of Britain!” Love it. You two always make me laugh . X
Loved the story! Thank you guys!❤️
Really getting into these vlogs about the area around you and your 'farming' exploits.
I'm another who doesn't know owt about golf. I don't see any point in walking around fields hitting your balls with sticks.
Oh, I don’t know 😜😉
Depends upon the stick and the size of the 🎾🎾 luv 😏😎
Elizabeth Dick, Maggie Mungo, Janet Horn...I know these names aren't necessarily intended to be funny, but the way Colin delivers them (and Shaun's accompanying reaction) just kills me every time. Thank you for the inadvertent laughs!
Story telling really suits you both silver foxes tell all...thank you for a fab vlog...
Thank you for another interesting bit of history. I love that watching the two of you has become a part of my Saturday morning routine. I loved watching you on Silver Fox and now on your plot of land. Hope you have a great week.
Never a dull moment lol!!!! I wonder what the reaction would be if they called boxing.......fisting................because technically............😁
