    Sounded wonderful. I think the quieter tone of voice you use to explain the history reflects genuine awe and pride for these valiant Scottish defenders. I say this because I am a Texan in America and we use the same reverence even we are in the vicinity of the Alamo.( lots of Scotsmen fought there as well.) Can't wait to see the inside!❤

    Interesting locations, great filming and excellent narrative. As some of your followers have already mentioned, I miss a map of the locations in your short videos for a quick overview. Adding drone photography would definitely give it another dimension, but also a cost to be factored in. My family is watching your videos and we are planning a trip to Scotland next year based on these so we will likely contact you at some stage. As I will be at the Detectival next month, I may even bump in to you there already. All the best from Sweden. /Patrik

    The video and sound look great. Only a couple spots at the beginning where you went back and forth on the castle. A cut back to a wider view would have shown it all and been less jittery.

      Thanks Simòn. There are many different theories for the three walls versus four but the most likely is it’s built into an outcrop of bedrock which is a triangular shape and the moat is then fed by springs, so likely that’s the reason. Thanks for watching
