  • Join us as we delve into the dark and eerie history of Hermitage Castle, one of Scotland's most haunted and mysterious locations. Known as the "Strength of Liddesdale" and ominously referred to as "the guardhouse of the bloodiest glen in Britain," Hermitage Castle is steeped in tales of terror, bloodshed, and the supernatural.
    In this episode, we explore the chilling stories surrounding this formidable fortress, from the malevolent Robin Redcap, a goblin-like creature said to serve the infamous William de Soules, to the restless spirits of the countless souls who met their end within its cold stone walls. Discover the castle's role in Scotland's violent history, standing as a grim sentinel over the lawless and dangerous Liddesdale Valley.
    We'll take you through the castle's imposing architecture, with its massive curtain walls and eerie, shadow-filled interiors, as we uncover the spectral legends that have made Hermitage Castle a place of fear and fascination for centuries. Whether you believe in ghosts or are simply intrigued by Scotland's dark past, this episode will leave you with chills.

    Living in the Scottish Borders have visited Hermitage many times. It has a brooding atmosphere for sure, it’s an intimidating structure and I always feel uneasy inside or up close it. Looking forward to hearing this one!

    Your impeccable use of visuals is brilliant. The gaping maw of the castle in a darkened sky really emphasizes its brutal past.
    You don’t just make videos, you make entire events drawing us in to the experience of those historic times. You certainly know how to weave a story into life. Bravo!

    A superb mix of history and a touch of paranormal thrown in. Shame the average Scott would rather be ruled by England than be independent Wallace, and the other freedom fighter would be ashamed of Scotland today.

      I also find it very strange, that they were so envious of their own countrymen. But, it is by far the most interesting history ever, in the whole world. The Scots never showed any respect to their kings, or queens.

But i will admit it was very eerie with ground mist all around, I recommend to anyone who find themselves in the area in the early morning to visit Hermitage castle.

    I sent you a story of my own experience at Seton Colligiate church- it was peaceful but unsettling. On that same trip when we stopped at Hermitage, I couldn’t help but feel a deep rooted feeling of unease. As if the very core of me was moved by something. I have visited many castles and ruins, but few have made me feel as sombre as Hermitage.

Roxburghe Castle, ruins on the outskirts of Kelso. Now we have Floors Castle, occupied by the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe. Black Dougles was resident at Springwood Estate, outskirts of Kelso. There is a Mausoleum there. I wonder if they are connected in any way. Again, many thanks for the new knowledge I now have. 💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️
