Helen is remebered now, by more people, thanks to your film.
Rest in Peace Helen Priestley 🙏🏻💜

[@scotlandshistory]

Thank you so much.

I remember my dad telling me about that murder, my dad was born in no 78 urquhart road and was the same age as Helen and he also played in the close and remembered the little girl, very sad.

[@scotlandshistory]

I visited her grave to pay my respects after I put the video up. It was very moving. A very sad case as you say. Thank you for watching.

[@joannabaparileszczynska]

She must have had some deeper, underlying issues to do this. Siding with the opposite party because a leak wouldn’t warrant a murder.

[@scotlandshistory]

Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever really know why she killed her.

[@SeeScotland]

Awful crime, poor Helen and her family

[@scotlandshistory]

Terrible what happened to her. Thanks for watching!

Why use library footage of some bloke driving on the RIGHT SIDE of the road, when in the UK we drive on the left side of the road?????????

[@scotlandshistory]

There was no available footage of anyone driving on the left. Thank you for watching.

[@user-jg2nq6ll4c]

Eh? RUclips's FULL of video-footage of folk driving on the left😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@scotlandshistory]

@@user-jg2nq6ll4c that's all copyrighted.

[@lisadolan689]

Omg. Only ten years incarcerated. Shocking 🥺🥺

[@scotlandshistory]

I know. Thanks for watching!

[@rwentfordable]

So the sentence went from death to just ten years? I wonder what the punishment would have been had the murderer been a man.

[@scotlandshistory]

Yes, that puzzled me too. It was very lenient in the end. I think if it had been a man, he'd have paid with his life. Thank you for watching!
