  • Antiques expert Tim Wonnacott and chef Rosemary Shrager visit Blair Castle in Scotland, following in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, who was there in 1844.
    At the time of this visit, Victoria had been on the throne for seven years. She was only 25 years old but had already had four children in four years. Prince Albert thought it would be the ideal place for the queen to recover from the arrival of Alfred, their fourth child, born just a few weeks earlier. They stayed for three weeks and it cemented a lifelong love affair for the royal couple with the highlands.

    Scottish dancing has many sub-genres. In the video they're demonstrating Scottish Country dancing, which is what they do at ceilidhs (the Scottish term for ball/party). The Highland Fling they mention is never actually shown, as it is a solo dance done to bagpipe music.

      "Some children" actually comes to a total of at least 4100 dead children, and perhaps as many as 6000. They were not orphans. The children were removed from their families and sent to boarding schools to wipe away their native language and culture. They were badly abused and neglected there--that's why so many died. If that sounds like "yada yada yada" to you, you are defective.
