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!
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.
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 💙💙🐕
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.
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.
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
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. :)
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:)
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.
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
💙💙💙 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. 💙💙💙
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!
There may not be burnings, but it's certainly a sad reflection on humanity that the attitude towards 'others' hasn't changed much. Anyway, if you like the Dornoch airfield, you should take a flight up to some of the outer Orkney islands. This is going back 40 odd years but I think it was North Ronsldsay where they cleared away the cows just before the plane comes into land. As it's rolling along the field, the plane's wheels go through the cow pats, which get thrown up into the propellers and splattered across the side of the plane! For a 6 year old, that was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday!
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!
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!!!!
Another interesting bit of history shared by you two. Thank YOU! Oh dementia! My mum had a series of strokes which left her with a serious case of dementia. I was her care giver for the last years of her life. Dementia . . . every day was a new adventure in time travel! She never forgot who I was because I was there every day, but my siblings really stuggled with it. Every time they would take a turn to care for her each week so I could have some personal time, she would not recognize them. She would send my youngest brother outside to find himself because it was bedtime. He used to joke and say he was sure glad he never found the little scoundrel. I'm glad I wasn't raised in those days. Both Mum and I might have been burned as witches. Run Carrie run!!!
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.
What a wonderfully interesting and entertaining video. You guy's are great. I look forward to your vlogs on Friday and they help make my day. Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us. Keep well and safe. James.
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.👍👌😀😀
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.
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.
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!
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.
Kia ora from NZ. You had me cracking up 🤣🤣 with the first (fist) part of the vlog. Love catching up your life in Scotland and getting the history of the places you visit.
Thanks again guys. Another informative and sensitive vlog. Keep it up please we are enjoying your contributions very much. Best regards, Greg Melbourne Australia.
Shaun and Colin I love your vlogs. Beautiful scenery and so much interesting information. You both help brighten my day more than you know. Please pet Otis for me
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.
I've been recently been following you two lovely funny twits (endearment) and I hope you keep going. I totally identify with you both in support and needs and the patients like an angel. Bless you both. Hope one day there will be an opportunity to meet. Ur both an inspiration. Bless you both.
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 ;))
Hiya guys, my brother lives near Shelbo castle just on the north side of Dornoch and I spent many happy summers between Golspie and Dornoch in my youth. I now live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia and love the remoteness similar to being in the highlands. Love the videos you're making, thanks
Also just wanted to add that you mentioned you're going to do a blog on the Dornoch light railway that ran from the Mound station to Dornoch terminus station. The last locomotive to run on the line which is still around today is called Dunrobin. As a promotional thing it was driven all the way to southern England and after a while at the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway it was sold to Canada and transported to British Columbia before eventually being bought by the Beamish museum where it is undergoing a full rebuild at this time.they are hoping to get it under steam in the next year or so. They also have one of the Duke of Sutherland own coaches which stayed with the Dunrobin locomotive all these years. Hope this helps 🙂
Great vlog. The old court and jail in Dingwall are now converted into flats - we stayed in one when we visited family in 2019. You can still the bars on some of the windows.
Another brilliant vlog, you should do this for a living! Oh by the way, here on the Wet coast near the Clyde there are still witches, not sure what they do though, maybe frolic through the woods baring skin to the midges? One told me her daughter used to threaten people at school, saying her Mum would turn them into frogs! Novel!
OMG BEST VLOG EVER :) Best watch out huh , you guys are properly coming outta your shells, you can just tell life is good right now for you and its soo good to see you both so relaxed and happy... HILLHAIRYARSE , well done and very informative , like i said best vlog ever but, you can't say that :)
I really enjoyed the video.its lovely how you explain everything about place were you are it's really educational.so looking forward to the next video it makes my friday.so thankyou very much.💕❤️
Hi guys another smashing video really interesting and enjoyable,,,I have stayed there in the hotel opposite the golf course,, nice place, Best wishes to you both and of course a pat and a treat for Otis Look forward to your next video

@@djhrecordhound4391 Agreed! Well said.
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.
Shaun's tombstone will read: "Here Lies Shaun....You Can't Say That!"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What a sad story 😢. Poor Janet.
Your take on the history is so interesting. I’m always waiting in anticipation for your Friday vlog.
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
As a hedge witch it always gives me the shivers hearing about the trials. But great video guys really love your sense of humour. 👍❤️👍
I swear you two could describe paint drying and make it interesting!
Thanks for another good one! x
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. :)
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:)
Great story on the witches and Dornoch. So glad the Scottish Parliament/church apologised etc etc. look forward to more. 💗💗🙋♀️🙋♀️
Love all the bits of history you guys share, even the sad parts. All the best, Gloria
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.
Shawn’s reaction to Elizabeth Dick is proof that aging is mandatory but growing up is purely optional.
Great episode as alway. Cheers!
You both are definitely my favourite u-tube couple. Keep up the good vlogs. Thank you!
More tidbits of local lore, and lovely views of a lovely Scottish area (town/village/city?). Just the thing to start my Friday. ATB
Thank you for all the research you do for these videos. You guys are wonderful.
Thanks guys! The sad history of witchcraft was here in the states too.
You guys really do a great job telling a story, thank you, very entertaining!
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
💙💙💙 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. 💙💙💙
Thanks for the vlog. Put smile on my face.
Thanks. I love the pleasure you're getting from your new home, regardless of the topic.
Thanks for a most informative vlog today. Always look forward to getting my ‘Scotland fix’ on Friday. Have a great weekend ❤🏴
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!
This made me cry - so sad how some treat others who are either different or with true gifts they don’t understand. Nice to see you both!
There may not be burnings, but it's certainly a sad reflection on humanity that the attitude towards 'others' hasn't changed much.
Anyway, if you like the Dornoch airfield, you should take a flight up to some of the outer Orkney islands.

Colin and Sean’s “ a history of Britain!” Love it. You two always make me laugh . X
Accused: "They dressed me up like this!" Accuser: "Well we did do the nose. … And the hat. But she's a witch!!"
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!
Really getting into these vlogs about the area around you and your 'farming' exploits.
I'm amazed you got through it with Sean's giggles, fascinating again
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!!!!
It is a beautiful looking spot. Love watching Shaun wagging his ‘arm’ around emulating the notification bell…lol
fantastic.. the innuendoes just keep getting better.....
Love this as a practicing “ witch “or healer so many women were murdered and wrongly accused. Love the channel ❤️👻
Another interesting bit of history shared by you two. Thank YOU! Oh dementia! My mum had a series of strokes which left her with a serious case of dementia.

Brilliant vlog as usual, very informative. Shaun laugh is sooo infectious, don't ever change guys.. just be you!! ❤

rough week, got my weekly "you can't say that!!" so all better lol
A historical tale told with skill and humour.
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.
Story telling really suits you both silver foxes tell all...thank you for a fab vlog...
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.
Interesting vlog Colin, well done.
THANK YOU for sharing Janet's story. Another GREAT Vlog.
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!
Can’t wait to hear about the Dornoch “traaaaain”!
Excellent video! I enjoy learning bits about history, the good and the bad. Cheers!
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.
Always love the history & appreciate all the research you do, Colin! Sadly, there are many "sad chapters" in human history....Stay well guys! ❤🐕❤
Kia ora from NZ. You had me cracking up 🤣🤣 with the first (fist) part of the vlog. Love catching up your life in Scotland and getting the history of the places you visit.
Brilliant, thanks for the history lesson❤️
Always enjoy the history lessons. Great stuff!
Loving these new vlogs. You guys have hit a new high point with these.

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.
Another great video has always colin Shaun and little Otis 👍
Great vlog, it was really interresting (as ever!) and good that apologies can be late, but not that hard.
