Found you detecting first. Your knowledge and ease of relating of the history Scotland is the biggest reason I became a regular viewer of your other RUclips channel. You bring characters and stories to life. This? Spectacular. Thank you for what you do! ♥
Thanks for the kind words Elaine. So glad you enjoyed and many more tours to come!
@@visitscotlandtours1 Same, will def be coming to visit soon enough.
What detecting channel
@SheilaLS thank you
Omg it is so beautiful. Thank you so much for the tour. 😊❤
So beautiful. A mystical natural wonderland. No wonder why Scotland is listed as the most beautiful place in the world.
Many thanks Molly. I love this place
I loved the video! I hope there’s more to come. Your mic did a great job, btw. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Much appreciated Violet
My wife and I are from Mississippi in the USA. We have visited this place and made the circuit hike there several times when visiting. We have stayed at the Atholl house in Dunkeld (Holiday Inn) and have driven in several times from the Jute Mill at Blairgowrie just a short drive away. The Hermitage, Scone Palace, the Cateran Trail, Dunkeld Cathedral, and Cargill's Leap on the walk from the Jute Mill into Blairgowrie are just fantastic. Anyone in the area that wants a first class diner should eat at Little's in Blairgowrie/Rattray. I LOVE SCOTLAND.
You made comments about David Douglas. This is an excellent book written in the Pacific Northwest about his travels. Really brings to life the times he was collecting in this region.

Wow you took me back, we got married here on 30 October 2023 in Ossians Hall and it was a magical day. We love the Hermitage and are fortunate to only live less than an hour from it. We’ll return next October for our first wedding anniversary. Thank you 🫶🏼
What a beautiful place John, and good to see the other side of the SD channel! This video is good enough to bring the world to Perthshire! I’m definitely going to plan a break there and visit this magical place 😍
Many thanks Pauline. Glad you enjoyed
I love Scotland! My maternal grandparents were born there. My friend and I visited in 1994 and I ache to go back! Beautiful country but bad politics (like most of us around the world). Thank you for your videos.
Thanks for watching, haste ye back
So glad to see you on this new channel, John. The Hermitage is a family favorite walk. So so beautiful! I’m excited to see , and hear, more of you on this new RUclips venture.
Many thanks Derin. Couldn’t agree more, I love this place!!
I live in the Piedmont in North Carolina , USA. I can see why so many ended up in this area from Scotland, no matter when or how they got here. It is so similar in terrain. It is so beautiful in Scotland!
Absolutely Beautiful! Thanks for the tour, John.
Many thanks
Whenever I need a soothing escape from work, and daily life-I come to your page(s). I'm a history/travel junkie. The pace and content of your tours are spot on. Thank you again for sharing your amazing knowledge and love of your stunningly beautiful country! I often wonder how my ancestors could leave such a magnificent and magical country!! Hello from Santa Fe New Mexico (USA)
Absolutely breathtaking and fascinating from beginning to end! I am all a-thrill! Can't wait!!! Huge gratitude to you, Sir!
You are so welcome! ☺️
Thank you John, for a wonderful and informative video. I have been enjoying the Scottish Detectorist and your history lessons for some time and all I could think of when I saw those coin trees - was "Coin Hoard" :D Thank you so much for the Insight you give to a place you love. Looking forward to the next tour :)
Haha 😂 many thanks Jennifer and I’m glad you enjoyed! Best wishes and thanks for your support
Awesome video, thank you
Many thanks and thanks for watching
Tuned in here from your shout out in MD video and I’m so pleased I did. What a truly magnificent place, I can’t wait to visit. loved every minute of your commentary and the stunning scenery, Thanks for sharing John and look forward to seeing more sites in Scotland.
We had just gotten to Edinburgh when I watched this video! So glad I did. It was the perfect halfway point between our AirBnB locations. What a beautiful hike. The river was quite full, the sun shining, and seeing the “wishes” all over the forest trails was quite nice too. The trees covered in moss was a nice touch. Your video was amazing, but seeing it in person even better! Thanks again John!
John, I have been watching your metal detecting for almost a year now and this is the first time I’ve been to your Travel Channel. I didn’t know what I was missing.
OMG, John, this the most beautiful video I have ever seen. The scenery is breath taking..... and the color of the trees are glorious. The waterfalls are truly wonderful and put together, as you have, is stunning! Thank you so much! As you might be able to tell. I loved it! Thank you for sharing!
It is absolutely spectacular.
One of my favourite places in Scotland
What a beautiful place!!! Thank you so much for sharing, and yay, now I have a new channel of yours to follow!!!
Thanks Debbie. Glad you enjoyed!! Best wishes and see you in the next tour!
What a beautiful video. Thank you!❤
just subscribed, already enjoy your metal-detecting videos John and now there's this channel which is absolutely amazing. If I'm ever blessed to get to Scotland, Perthshire will be the place for me. Looking forward to future videos and thank you.
Welcome to the Channel penny and thanks for your support
Best of luck with your new channel john,just subscribed .

I love your detecting but this channel brings the beauty of Scotland and it’s history right over my doorstep and into my home, where you will be a welcome channel often. 🥰
Aww thanks …Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Just beautiful definitely going to visit this summer 👍. Thanks for the tour, I’m looking forward to seeing the next one.
My pleasure and thanks for watching
Wow John!!! You ought to think about doing this for a living!!!! 🤗 Absolutely could listen to you for hours!!! Well done Sir! ❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ich habe noch nie einen schöneren Ort wie diesen gesehen und werde ihn gleich einer reisefreudigen Nachbarin empfehlen, ich hoffe man kann von Deutschland aus etwas buchen und vielleicht lernt man Sie auch persönlich kennen. Danke für die tolle Reisebeschreibung. Und außerdem sind Sie mein absoluter Lieblingssondler......
Danke!! I hope you make it over soon too!!
Don't we have the same, still beautiful and deep forests in Germany ? In Franconia for instance, to name but a few !
Thank you so much for making the soothing restful recording of the Hermitage. It was delightful, and gave me the desire to visit it one day.
I have never wished so much that trees could talk. Such beauty
I was born in Perth and miss the beautiful scenery I grew up with, I had never heard of the Hermitage, unfortunately I will not be able to go and view this beautiful view. You have taught me where two names came from. The river Bran (Bran Terrace was the name of a road that leads you up the hill from Mercer Terrace) The river Lyn (we used to go swimming at the Lyn in Stanley Thank you. 21:51 👵🏼❤️
Well put together John... Dunkeld is a cracking place 👍
Many thanks and thanks for watching
I also found you through your Detecting channel.Having purchased my first Detector,,,,,,,I found this video wonderful.I have been very partial to Scotland....both my Great Grandmother and Grandmother on my mothers side were born in Glasgow...myself I was born in England but have lived in California since I was a young boy.I visit family in England often...but have never visited Scotland.....that is for sure going to change after watching your videos.......maybe I can look you up as a tour guide when I do visit. I look forward to more video's.
You definitely need to come. I’m also Glasgow born! You’ve endless places to explore!! Make it happen
Thanks I will... I know you are keen on History. In 2007 I visited Belgium to attend the unveiling of a Memorial Cross Statue honoring all the Scotts who fell at Paashendael. One who was my Great,Great Uncle George Devlin of Glasgow ...he is buried in France and I visited his grave on my return to England ...I left a Scottish flag on his grave on which I had written that he was not forgotten.I will for sure come to visit Scotland,soon.

What a wonderful video for an armchair traveler like me! Thanks so much!
Well, how lovely was that? What an absolutely beautiful part of the world! I can't walk these days but it used to be one of my main pleasures in life, and to be able to watch as you took us along on this walk was just brilliant!
Thank you so much! A guided walk is always better when you can learn something about what you are seeing and you are an excellent guide. A fountain of knowledge and information! You're a great storyteller, as you manage to bring the tale to life. I can tell I'm going to love your new channel as much as the detecting one!
Many thanks Jan and I’m glad you enjoyed. I wish I hadn’t drowned out quite so much of the flowing water noise but at least you could hear me! Many thanks
Thank you John for the video and knoweledge...it takes me back to the long forest walks my husband and I did...everything is gorgeous!
This makes me so happy. John, you are an incredible talent.
Aww thanks much appreciated
It's amazing, it's beautiful : I've got to visit this place and beautiful forest one day !
Such a majo al spot, you really draw your viewers in. Expected to see wee people and fairies peeking out somewhere! Thanks for a great video and can’t wait to see more of Bonny Scotland!
Magical place. Thank you for this wonderful tour and great education.
Thank you
Just a carry over from the detectorist page John , am enjoying the walks and history, the only place i've being in Scotland is Inverness and Loch Lomond, it was a day trip from our cruise ship. Now what a permission this would be, the scenery alone makes me makes me dream!
I am a detectorist also in Ontario, Canada.
I can't say enough about your 2 you tube channels keep up the excellent work.
Hi John, beautyful. Perfect tour gide. No nonsens and telling how it was in the old times just like your detecting chanel wich I love also to watch and subscribet to. I always wanted to visit Scotland and visit the old Castels. It is such a mittical country. Looking forward to the next video. Well don.
Much appreciated Jack. Thanks for the kind words and your support
What a magical place. Have wanted to visit Scotland for so long but bad knees and back make walking difficult, may get there after knees sorted. First found you on your detecting page, love all the history you include
What a wonderful place. We have a Heritage here in the states but I believe yours has ours bet by a long shot. Reminds of the Smokies in E. Tn. & NC. Can't wait to see it myself soon. Old Hickory, Tn. 🇺🇸🏴
Many thanks Dale
Beautiful. Very much resembles my forest here in Michigan. Our oldest two trees are oaks and beech as the white pine was logged out then replanted with red and Scotch pine. The steep terrain is here too, left by the glaciers. Looking forward to visiting Scotland one day.
It is unlikely I will ever see this in person. The work you put in to bring this to us is much appreciated. Thank you.
Such a wonderful video. So mystical and calming. A privilege to watch. Thank you.
Much appreciated
Thank you for posting this video. Used to live just outside Dunkeld and visited the hermitage many times. You’re right about the hermitage being a magical place and you did a good job capturing the stunning scenery ! (mind you, not so sure quite how much Ossian appreciated the splendour of the views since he was reportedly blind 😁). Been away from Scotland too many years now. This video rekindled desire to return home some day. Thanks again for posting. Cheers, 👍
Love this, I am hoping that I will get to visit my ancestors homeland next year. They were part of Clan Gunn, a wee bit north.
Gorgeous, fantastic video. The scenery is so very much like that of northern Ontario, Canada. We just don’t have all that wonderful history to go with it.
Many thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed
I've recently done a road trip in Scotland myself and your IG Reels were a huge inspiration for that trip, with this as one of my personal highlights. Hadn't seen this video yet, but how lovely to relive it with your expert storytelling.
Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoyed! Hopefully see you back here again soon!
Your vlogs have proven to be so useful for planning my next trip to Scotland. My Scottish husband was wonderfully proud of his country and set me on the same path of appreciation for the glorious scenery and history of his grand home of Scotland. He oftentimes used the same description...absolutely gorgeous! Thank you, John.
This is fantastic! How lovely to go on this walk! I’ll have to pull out my maps of Scotland and see where we are! 🥰. Incidentally, if you could link some maps of your area, that would be great! 👋🏼
691st subscriber!... I was one of the first 1000 on the Scottish Detectorist. "yay me"
I could get me some nice big Brown Trout below that waterfall.
Well there we go again… another task for us. Like and share. I guess king John wants 22k on this channel too? 😁
Scottish Trout, like the folks, are very picky. I’ve heard they only bite on scones with jam or chocolate. 🥯🍩 The trout that is….
Yep, really picky, I mean, we don’t see John going around the fields with a Garret Ace 200. It had to be the XP Deus 2. 😉
Much appreciated
Stunning scenery…thank you John! Keep these up. Please!
Much appreciated
I love visiting Blair Castle, I first went there in the 60s as a school child . I remember the Duke of Atholl sitting talking to me while I ate a packed lunch .Years later( 50 ) I recognised him in a portrait, which is remarkable as I can't remember people's faces very well 😅 you are very good at this malarkey haha 😅
Many thanks Janie happy memories I bet!
Thank you for this gorgeous walk through the woods. So wonderfully peaceful and calming in stressful times . Best regards from war-torn Israel
This was spectacular! Thank you for sharing this beautiful gem of an area and its history! I can’t wait for your next tour!
Absolutely fantastic video. Brilliantly narrated & scenery to die for.! Really well done. Bless up bro 👊
Thank you for the tour, John. That place is breathtaking.
Very, very much enjoyed this beautiful walk along the Hermitage path. Absolutely gorgeous. I look forward to many more of your informative guided tours John.
My pleasure Myn and I’m glad you enjoyed, see you on the next!
Thanks for the beautiful scenery and video. You do a superb job of narrating, sharing the history of your lovely country. I can't wait to see more extended videos. They will make my treadmill walks much more fun. 🙂 I was blessed to be able to visit Scotland last year, but didn't have nearly enough time to spend there. Cheers from Montana, USA
Fantastic! Loved it!!! Thank you! ❤
Many thanks Connie. See you in the next!!
I love how you gave exact descriptions of the locale of The Hermitage, along with info about the overflow parking facilities and the fact that you must have 3 pound coins for parking. You also gave a nod towards Dunkeld for their cafe's, well done John! Your information is so informative about the history of Scotland, you are a treasure to your country.
Just subscribed, I watch your Scottish Detectorist channel and at your recommendation came for a look, what a magical video, thoroughly enjoyed it..
Thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed. Welcome to the channel and thanks for your support it’s hugely appreciated
John, I’m pleased that while the National Trust warns visitors about copper poisoning while discouraging visitors from pounding coins into tree trunks, I am happy to see that they haven’t hauled off the stump to augment the till of the Trust! Beautiful tour! Also, if you ever wish to visit California to see two favorites of John Muir, Muir Woods in Marin County, north of the Golden Gate Bridge and Yosemite National Park, send me a message!
Years back, we visited your amazing country..3weeks spent traveling through stops, including Hermitage with McBackers Tours and a lovely guide named Grahm. Absolutely stunning!!!!
I hope you’ll be coming back soon to see some more! But glad you have such happy memories
Love this! I am mainly of the Sutherland Clan, but also the Murray's. I have got to get there. I own 5 square foot of land outside of Inverness and can legally use Lady before my name. I want to get more reforestation in the Highlands! My people have been here in the Colonies since 1747. We were among the first to hit the Far Blue Smokey Mountains, the first frontier. It looks exactly like where I live in the Appalachians!
Stunning scenery! I've never been to this part of Scotland but my ancestors were from Glasgow and Perth. Thank you for the tour!
Much appreciated and thanks for the support
Breathtaking tour. Thank you for sharing a view of your beautiful world!
Many thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed
Wonderful visit. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home
My pleasure and thanks for watching
John, I found you as a detectorist and so admire the normal person that you are. Just subscribed to your travel channel and it's best when you're not reading but instead walking and talking, just like the detector vids.
Absolutely breathtaking!!!!! #1 on my bucket list is to visit Scotland. I absolutely love this video......feels like I am there. The scenery is so amazing!!!! Thank you!!!
Much appreciated and I’m glad you enjoyed 😆
Wow! This place is BEAUTIFUL! Fall (Autumn) is definitely the best time to go there! Just stunning!
Many thanks. A beautiful time of year to visit
Great video John. The first of many in this channel, I hope. 👍
Many thanks Ed. Yes lots more to come! Best wishes
Absolutely beautiful video John!
Many thanks 😊
Loved the video. I recognized the Douglas Firs right away as they are native here on Vancouver Island
I'm getting married here in July, glad to know the puppers won't be able to get at the dress 😅
As a young man in the RN I visited many Scottish ports, never venturing inland, thanks for rubbing it in John. Stunning
Haha 😂 well you’re mine was on other things! Make it happen
enjoyed tik toks are cracking aswell
Well done, John. I’ve seen a few pictures of this place, but your tour was lovely and full of history.
Much appreciated and I’m glad you enjoyed
Scotland is beautiful.

I’m such a sap John, I’m just now seeing this video and I’m in tears because it’s so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video with us. I cannot wait to see your beautiful country in 5 months!
Really good upload, very nice moderation👍😜🔝❤️
Many thanks Toni ❤️
@@visitscotlandtours1 theres 💰 in your
Skills 23.1 subs now impressing and
Deserved👍
I walked here in the winter of 1980… snow and ice everywhere and it was stunning!! I was 16 at the time and on holiday staying with my Granny in Edinburgh and we had driven up to Blairgowrie to stay with a friend of Mums. I think it was about -10 which didn’t bother this skier and tramper from New Zealand.
Must be time for another visit Catherine. ☺️
Great video, stunning location. You do however sound a bit like the Rev IM Jolly. 🙂
Hahaha 🤪 love that guy!
Aha, found you again! You know you can’t hide from me.
Well, I have to subscribe now and drop a stupid comment now and then. 😉
Wonderful video John. 👍🍀💪
Many thanks Wolfie! Much appreciated
What beautiful scenery. thank you John. I really enjoyed the walk without the effort with such interesting commentary.
Thanks Jan. Glad you could join me on the virtual tour!!
What an awesome place. My GGGG Grandparents were from Scotland. Thank you for taking us along John.
My pleasure Jeff and I’m glad you enjoyed
Thank you so much what a beautiful place. My husband is from Scotland living in Canada absolutely love these videos.
Thanks Julie. Much appreciated & I hope he isn’t too homesick!
Hi John from Perth Western Australia :) I've come over from your detectorist page and loved this video so much! I hope to visit Scotland next year. Just added the Hermitage to my list.
Many thanks. Definitely an unmissable site!! Enjoy your visit!!
Great job on the video. Wonderful footage and scenery. I really enjoyed the history and lore of the area. 721st subscriber! Looking forward to future videos. I hope to make the long trek from Minnesota to Scotland someday. Until then, I'll be here, watching your videos.
Much appreciated and welcome to the channel!
Great video. Beautiful place to visit. Went at the weekend but it was overrun with hoards of people. Couldn't believe how popular this place is. Maybe better to go during the week.
Aww no! That’s a shame. Yes definitely during the week or early morning is best!
Very cool! Headed here from your plug in the latest detecting video. Enjoying your tour. What a beautiful country!
Thanks Izzy. And thanks for the support
Very nice waterfall, have a blessed week! 💚✨
Added to my must see list. Amazing the coin tree tradition. Love new knowledge.
Wonderful Ruth, hopefully you come to see it very soon
