One day your videos will be in a museum and people will be fascinated that anyone would take so much time to share their world. And they will be in awe. Thank you Kim, for another amazing tour.
I saw this everyday when i lived and worked there, was up the top twice climbing those stairs. I can hear the traffic from Pansport Road, thanks fior the video.
Kim what a spectacular location and certainly added to my must see places to visit in Scotland...you are so right...we only appreciate history once we are older and see things so very differently as adults,fascinating world we live in and I want to know more every day...thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us so freely...Stay blessed and warm...
Awe Inspiring - can you imagine the cathedral when it had its original glass windows - and the spiral staircase fiming as you go down makes you get dizzy - can you imagine like you said going up and down all day - WITHOUT THAT SAFETY ROPE
This is such a coincidence! Just yesterday, I was re reading some history about the Wolf of Badenoch, and reminiscing about my visits years ago to Elgin Cathedral, and remembering climbing the tower. I have always loved the pointed arches, windows and ornaments of what was later called "Gothic" architecture. With my love of such architecture and of Gregorian chant, in my childhood imagination I thought how it must feel to have been a mediaeval monk. On that theme, I had also been thinking recently of re-visiting Pluscarden Abbey. You have made up my mind-get to Elgin again this year! I loved your expression when cheek to cheek with the fascinating gargoyle! Beauty and the beast!
Very cool. Graveyards are fascinating places to explore and photograph. I recently stumbled across a private, one-family cemetery in Rockport, Maine, and wandered around in it taking photos until the light was gone.
Thank you Kim, for showing an incredible place to us. When you were looking at the gravestones, I was thinking how fortunate we are to have antibiotics, immunizations, and modern medicine to keep us going (with a healthy lifestyle of course). Keep taking us on your journey please.
Wonderful looking place Kim it is just the sort of historical place I like to wander around. It was really good that they were using modern tec to help everyone to be able to see the rooms. I am lucky that I live near York and at the back of the York Minster they have a stone masons area where you can watch them create stone gargoyles ect..... Thank you so much for sharing this with us I will be adding it to my long list of places to visit ;D Teddy
It is Kim I love to watch them work. Most visitors and shoppers just walk by without even noticing it !!!! Maybe I should try and video it sometime rather than just watchig them. Or better still if ever you visit York I could take you to see it and the other interesting places in the city that are usually overlooked and you could do a Vlog :DTeddy
Wonder how many people have walked up and down those stairs over the years. The stonework carvings are truly fantastic, the detail is phenomenal. Great video and music Kim.
I was the same (lived in Moray all my life). Only went because I had an Historic Scotland membership but so glad I did - amazing place! Will be going again.
Kim, Excellent. I've added a couple of stops to my Scottish itinerary, including the Pluscarden. Scotland has so much to see. I'd love to see you explore some of the Pictish heritage and culture, in addition. The Pict symbol stones are magical.
Hi Kim. Spending one more day in Rome after two days each in Venice and Florence. Everything really is ancient here. Had to check the channel before bed. Wonderful, as always.
Hi Kim Very nice vlog, myself I love history. I was born in Kenilworth (look up the history of Kenilworth castle). Now I live in New Zealand it has only 175 years of history. I do miss the UK.
For being a burnt-down ruin, it sure has a lot going on! Thanks so much for this. I noticed the plaque to a Duchess of Gordon. I'm a Gordon on my mom's side. It was kind of a shock to see that name. ;-) Maybe I should dig deeper into my roots to see where our Scottish side comes from. :-)
It all depends where I am going. I grew up near Elgin so I knew most of this history already. I had a quick look on the historic Scotland website before I went though, to refresh my memory. If it's a new place I often just visit and learn about it when I arrive. A good mix to keep things interesting :)
@@kimgrantphotography I turn up places and have no idea of the stories or history. Really should have a quick look online and make wee notes. Then forget the notes and mispronounce everything :)
Another interesting location! It seems your vlog has shifted to more locations than photography. That's not a criticism, just an observation. Building interest in photography tours, or just a shift in vlogging subjects?
Since last summer I've tried to split my channel (half photography, half Scottish tourism). I find it works well and I enjoy both aspects. I tend to do more travelling in my spare time than photography these days and Scotland has so much to offer in terms of places to visit, that I wanted go show this more. Don't worry though - this Sundays video is photography based :)
Kim, what a lovely presenter. I have subscribed for more Visualising Scotland!
Thank you

Awe thank you again for such a lovely comment Don! Much appreciated :)
Fabulous blog, really enjoyed it.
Won't just drive past it next time I visit Elgin!
Great to hear Julia!
Always in awe of the craftsmanship shown by the people from so so long ago.
Me too Peter! It's fascinating :)
I saw this everyday when i lived and worked there, was up the top twice climbing those stairs. I can hear the traffic from Pansport Road, thanks fior the video.
Great to see such a great video of my hometown and where I still live. well done very well
Thank you and glad that you enjoyed it.
Whhhhoa. That hologram effect to show how it may have looked when whole, on the Bishop’s effigy is so cool.

You're welcome once again Isabella and thank you for watching :)
You are a real ambassador of Scotland. Congratulation. Keep up your work!
Thank you Florin :)
Very interesting vlog Kim, it looked very cold there and so windy in the high viewing area, well done.
Awe Inspiring - can you imagine the cathedral when it had its original glass windows - and the spiral staircase fiming as you go down makes you get dizzy - can you imagine like you said going up and down all day - WITHOUT THAT SAFETY ROPE
The original windows would have looked amazing! And gosh no haha

Coincidence indeed! I hope you make it back to Elgin again this year. This cathedral and Pluscarden are wonderful places to visit
Enjoyed the video Kim. I love photographing these places
Awesome video. My Family is from Elgin. Greetings from the U.S.
Beautiful cathedral! I'm from Brazil!🇧🇷

A stone mason area sounds amazing! That would be great to visit and watch them at work.
It is Kim I love to watch them work. Most visitors and shoppers just walk by without even noticing it !!!! Maybe I should try and video it sometime rather than just watchig them.

Really glad that you enjoyed it John!
nice one Kim , great video again ,
Great video, Kim. Stayed in Elgin last year, visited the Cathedral briefly unfortunately didn't get time to see it all. We'll be back.
Thanks Mike and I hope that you get to see the rest of the cathedral on your next visit :)
Great video and great tour thank you for that 😊👍
I love places like this. I would lay down with a fisheye and photograph that ceiling. Very interesting about the age when they died. Thanks
What a good idea! If I ever invest in a fisheye, I shall have to revisit and try that!
Really enjoyed the video Kim
Great vlog such a beautiful place full of history. Like taking a trip back in time thanks for sharing.
A very enjoyable and informative vlog, many thanks.
Good work Kim
Enjoyable and informative thanks Kim for sharing
Love seeing these places.. One day soon I will visit Scotland. 👍🏻
GREAT video Kim -- Love the history you are sharing!
intresting video lived in elgin all my life and only been inside the gates of the cathedarl once.
I was the same (lived in Moray all my life). Only went because I had an Historic Scotland membership but so glad I did - amazing place! Will be going again.

That's great to hear Andrew! The pict stones certainly are. Maybe later this year :)
I surprisingly enjoyed this very much.
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching :)
Wow this place is full of history, it's so fascinating thank you for showing it to us. Really enjoyed this episode, looking forward to the next one 🙂
Thank you Jennifer! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks Kim, another place to add to the list for a future trip to Scotland
Hi Kim. Spending one more day in Rome after two days each in Venice and Florence. Everything really is ancient here. Had to check the channel before bed. Wonderful, as always.
So lucky Brad! I was meant to be going to Venice next week but bought a house instead (haha!) Another time. It looks like a great place :)
Hi Kim
Very nice vlog, myself I love history.
I was born in Kenilworth (look up the history of Kenilworth castle).
Now I live in New Zealand it has only 175 years of history.
I do miss the UK.
Kim - loved the review of Elgin! I'll have to visit. Reminds me of the Abbey at Jumièges in Normady France.
You sure do Robert! Think You'd enjoy it :)
been to a few castles in the Uk. you can bet those folks back in the day didnt have worry about 'leg day' haha all those steps!
HAHA great comment Teresa. I bet 'leg day' didn't even exist!
Nice video Kim
Thank you. Excellent video
Hello, Kim! Thank you for this video, it is awesome! Greetings from the Russia :)
Nice memory for me, i was there 8 years ago. Great vlog once again kim 💪🏻
Thank you and great to bring back that happy memory for you :)
Genial place Kim
For being a burnt-down ruin, it sure has a lot going on! Thanks so much for this. I noticed the plaque to a Duchess of Gordon. I'm a Gordon on my mom's side. It was kind of a shock to see that name. ;-) Maybe I should dig deeper into my roots to see where our Scottish side comes from. :-)
It certainly does Jon and yes - you should. Gordon is quite a common name around here but would certainly be interesting to look into your ancestors.
very well done, enjoyed nice information … :-)
Always such knowledge about locations you visit! Do you know it all off by heart or do research before the vlog?
It all depends where I am going. I grew up near Elgin so I knew most of this history already. I had a quick look on the historic Scotland website before I went though, to refresh my memory. If it's a new place I often just visit and learn about it when I arrive. A good mix to keep things interesting :)

Shame it didn't exist back then hehe
