I knew my family was part of the Urquhart clan, but I never knew we had a family castle until my grandmother told me today lol. I hope to visit Scotland when the pandemic is under control, so that I can visit the castle and my extended family.
This is not actually the Castle of Clan Urquhart. This castle is owned by Historic Scotland. The real castle of The Chief of Clan Urquhart is Castle Craig on the Black Isle.
I read all these comments and see people that share my last name. I've always been the odd one out. One day I ant to visit Scottland and learn my family / ancestory history.
It’s my family! I’m just kidding I’m just trying to sound like everyone in the comment laying claim to the castle. We can go old school and lay siege to it and winner gets go claim it.
This is a nice documentary and I enjoyed it, however it's joining an ever growing number of youtube clips that mistitle themselves as walk-throughs. In a true walk through, there is no cutting of scenes, it's a straight film of the walk through every step, every turn, and every approach, no cutting from scene to scene for the sake of brevity. I prefer the true walk-throughs, for two reasons: one, they are relaxing, and give a better sense of the tourist experience (other people prefer brevity, and probably that's what the majority of folks are accustomed to, so I understand the choice made). The second reason is more eccentric and obscure: I'm looking for workable videos to watch repeatedly and design a memory palace. And for that one needs a true sense of the space, the turnings, the routes taken. Cutting steps out destroys that sense a bit. (Don't use this second reason as a reason to change, there aren't many of us doing the whole inner-world memory palace thing and we are definitely NOT your target audience, I know. Just putting it out there as a little factoid). Keep it up, you're doing excellent work, it's just the use of the word "walk-through" that makes me twitch given that I'm in the purist camp, if camps can be said to exist for the meaning of that word in youtube-land. :-)
the name Comyn isn't pronounced ''co-min'. It is pronounced more as 'cummin', similar to the anglicized Cummin, or Cummins. To pronounce it like co-mins, would be askin tyo pronouncing Mata Hari as Met a hairy.
Why the fuck were they going around destroying all these gorgeous structures back then? I hate video games, but maybe if these eedjits had had something else to funnel their rage into, we might still have these incredible castles 1000's of years later.
Could u set up a tent and announce that you're staying in your ancestral home for an unspecified period of time? I kno its stupid but if that IS your Name you really should have that right despite primogeniture or other tactics.
@@reginaldinoenchillada3513 No, because this is technically on the scale of a museum, owned by Historic Scotland. This is not owned by The Chief of Clan Urquhart. The Chief's Castle is Castle Craig on the Black Isle.
Scots don't have much luck we've been slaughtered by the Romans the vikings and the English and the Germans blew up Clyde bank missed the shipyards and killed about a thousand civilians.
This makes me proud to be an Urquhart!
Love this history of the Walkthrough Loch Ness, Scotland!

Loved this video as it’s one of the places I really must visit! Thank you for sharing 👍
Just returned from there, it was fantastic. We stayed at the Loch Ness Lodge in Drumnadrochit just down the road and highly recommend it.
Just visited Urquhart Castle great visit with good weather.

It's weird having Bruce,and Orquhart in my family tree.I hope your branches aren't producing nuts too.I'm not saying they were...
