Niel Gow's Collection of Strathspey Reels was owned by my hubby's 5th grt. grandfather, Thomas D. Kennedy of Kennedy's Landing in Kentucky in 1800. Thomas entertained a traveler at his large stone house and Inn in 1811. The traveler was so delighted he wrote about Thomas playing his fiddle and playing Niel Gow's Strathbey Reels. Needless to say when you showed us the tombstone and picture of Niel Gow, you could have knocked me over with a feather, I was that surprised. Thanks so much, you never cease to amaze and delight with your historic travel tours. Maybe you should write your very own tourist guide?! Hope you have more lovely travels, Travel Trolls!
Beautiful Cathedral guys. The reason theres snow on the ground on that side is not only the shade but the burial crypts below keeping the ground temp chill.
Hi , heard you mention the Britstop guide a few times , we're thinking of getting it due to ridiculous rising prices of camp sites. Just wondering your opinion of it , is it worth the money ? Thanks.
Maybe an old video but it might surprise you to know that a locomotive is named after him. The LNER P2’s naming scheme was mostly dukes and earls of Scotland, as that was the area they’d mostly be working around. 8 big driving wheels, a long boiler, and pistons so big and powerful they’d snap their own connecting rods if the driver put down too much power too quickly! Brutal engines, but they had to be! They had to pull big long express trains up and around the mountains of Scotland. Sadly, like the bastard one of them is named after, none of them managed to survive into preservation, but a replica of one is in production! Even though it’s a decidedly Scottish engine, the replica’s name will be “Prince of Wales”
They could not bury the Wolf of Badenoch in his nearest cathedral, Elgin, because he had burnt it down so they had to go to Dunkeld. Also, the bishop grave carvings had no heads because the Protestant reformers, after 1560, chopped off their heads as a sign of defiance against the Catholic Church.

Another interesting vlog guys thanks for taking us with you. 👍 Did anyone else think there was a ghost watching over the Wolf of Badenoch? 👻

Wow. Alexander Stewart was married to my ancestor Mariota MacKay (daughter of Iye MacKay)
Dan you are lucky Mazzy puts up with you.. LOL..
2nd nice info
The Wolf of Badenoch was my 13th Great Grandfather, I'm afraid to say! He was an awful man! I wish a movie could be made about his story!!!
He was my 24th great grandfather lol but yes it seems he was evil or perhaps misunderstood?
Dan I invite you to America when you can come!
Really lovely old church! Thanks
