When I was younger I used to dream about a place that I would sketch out on paper with pencil and it was Crags and flat cliffs along with a castle ruins. The first time I ever saw this place I fell out of my chair literally I cried for two days this is the place I've been drawing ever since I was a young girl. And I still don't know why. Thank you for sharing this.
I'v been to Dunnottar Castles twice when visiting family in Aberdeenshier. It is a beautiful place to visit and even more so when the sun comes out ! Ps. If you ever go, be prepared for a bit of a hike, a lot of steps and a chilly wind. Dunnottar is the only place I'v been in Scotland that made me wish I'd dressed a little warmer.
Great video! As descendants of Clan Keith, two of my siblings and I just returned from taking our parents on a pilgrimage to Dunnottar from the States. This had been a lifelong dream of my father, who is 87. A magical time together in a magical place!
Funny how there are some of us of clan Keith are out there lol. My mother is a Keith though she l was born in Ireland, my grandfather though while half irish and half scottish was born and raised in Scotland as a Keith, we still have his Tartan hanging up in his smoke Den, may he rest in peace.
I have a painting of this castle in one of my bedrooms and a picture of my Scottish husband at the same castle when he still lived in Scotland as a young man. I hope we can go there soon!
I enjoy learning about this because my mother and her family are Keith's, bearing the title through the male lines from their late great grandfather; Sir William Keith
My husband is Scottish and his name is Matthew William Keith. He is related to William Keith. My grandmother's name is McBride and I am related to Robert the Bruce. We're devising ways to reclaim this castle, haha. Wish us luck.
I'm a Keith, too, and have been plotting that for years. This summer, my wife and two sons will be traveling across the pond to the Scottish Highlands. On the itinerary is taking back the Donnottar Castle. With a rush and push, that land will be ours! ...for as long as we stand on it, at least. ;)
Really enjoyed the video which also helps me understand the history of Dunnotar Castle before I actually visited the place. THANK YOU "History Victorum"!!!
My friend and I visited Dunnottar during our trip to Scotland recently and it was so worth it! It was beautiful seeing the landscape around the castle and learning about the history. Highly recommend!
Wonderful video! My paternal 9th great grandfather John McQueen was one of the 122 men imprisoned there in 1685! I read somewhere that he carved his name on the wall somewhere I dream of visiting one day to find out! Keep up the good content!
@@juzagirlntheroom2692 in france there aren't many keiths so I looked for the origin and I'm happy to be not the only one to have this name however I don't know if I'm part of the Keith clan
There was a branch of the Clan Keith in Calais where a knight of this family settled in the XIV th c. A descendant of this knight married the daughter of a rich Alsacian 'Herrebüre'( a lord-peasant, un paysant-seigneur) provost in the Kochersberg county belonging to the Holy Empire prince-bishop of Strasburg in the first half of the XVII th. C., during the Thirty Years War. The irony of history is that the origin of the Clan Keith (different selliers,Keith/e, Käth/e, Kieth)would take place in Worms , Germany, not so far from Strasburg . A branch of the Stirling (Stirling, Sterling, Stärling)family settled in Colmar, Alsace in the second half of the XVII th.c. maybe jacobites.
hello I am one of this is descending, thank you very much I live in Alsace and I did not know the origin of my family keith because my grandfather was abandoned baby, I am happy to see that it does not come out of nowhere share thank you very much
I come from Strasbourg, my name is Keith I confirm that it is exactly the same story that my family tells me and often heard pronouncing the name "sterling"
After doing a lot of research since my 6th great grandfather Andrew Patterson was imprisoned there I can tell you they were sent to America's and landed in Perth Amboy, NJ 18Dec1685.
I saw a picture of Dunnotar castle in July 2020 just scrolling through stuff on the web and got a weird feeling in my belly when I saw it..like butterflies n something else 🤔can't explain it.I didn't know where it was.Showed the picture to my youngest daughter and asked if it was like something from Game of thrones(she was a big fan)...she said yes..(I've never seen the programme) I said wouldn't it be amazing to live near that castle? I would love to live near it.... Long story short...after having to leave the Isle of Lewis at the end of the first lockdown because of relationship break up I still wanted to live by the sea and preferably in the West of Scotland but couldn't find a place to rent.So I randomly typed in... "Places to rent in Scotland" and found a leasing agents that were advertising a place.When researching the area where the flat was I found out "THE CASTLE" was there😂😃🤪... where I'd randomly found a flat😲🙌😁💝!!! I had never been there or heard of it. I've travelled through and stayed in quite a few places in Scotland Dundee,Pitlochry,Perth,Crieff,St Andrews,Broughty Ferry, Low lands Highlands Etc,etc travelled to Skye,Oban,Arran,Outer Hebrides, Lewis,Harris n other Isles twice a year every year for 10 years! Never to Stonehaven...Dunnotar Castle! I've been living here 7 months now and Dunnotar Castle is literally over the hill from my place down by the 🌊beach🌊!! 😍😁💝 Sometimes strange🤪🤔 and magical🌠 🌌things happen in life 😁🙌🌊 🌅😍🌊🏰🌊💝🐬🌊🙂🌊
Thanks for video from a decendant of Baron Robert Keith born at that castle and who died at the Battle of Flodden Field 1513. I decend from 3 of his daughters: Lady Elizabeth Keith Gordon Countess of Huntly, Lady Janet Keith Lyon Countess of Glamis, Lady Agnes Keith Douglas Baroness of Douglas. All of the daughters were born in that castle.
oh wow , you just explained HOW i am descended from Robert the Bruce , i feel like crying now , i feel so emotional , my dna said it was fact but i was adopted so i knew nothing , i found my family but they did not know anyway , they told me my great grandmother was Carrie Harvey but prity much that was all they said , i think they knew because my grandmother took real china on picnics who does that ?
Why cant the goverment contact the ancesters of the old castles and see if they can fix the builings up and if the ancesters have not ever traveled invite them to the area of countryor city to see how their ancestors lived wendy
Those sites not already in private hands are usually run by the National Trust as public holdings for tourism. The cost of fixing them up would bankrupt most families!! Totally unfeasible to do more than maintain them safely as reminders of a long lost age.
There is a lot of important information here; excellent, but slow down man, you're speaking so fast that your sentences run together. Slow it down; it's not a race to get through to the end.
I have been all through this castle more like a fort from top to bottom. You can feel the presence of the suffering that went on within the dungeon. When I walked this fort there were no roads, no tourists, and no signs in the dead of winter with the North Sea haweling at your face. Look at all those tourists, I hope it has not been destroyed by humans.
When I visited the area in 1996 my (ex) wife made me wait 10 or 15 minutes so she could get a photograph from the landward side with no tourists walking across that narrow connecting neck of land.
hey buddy your slurring your words. line you've been drinking. so..... you need to re-record this. as you do it the whole way through..... and you don't have many views.. so....... did you ever ask yourself why? if you ever do, your slurred speech the entire way through...... start to finish..... i'd

Grew up in Stonehaven and went to Dunnottar Primary School. Been to the castle many times, incredible place. Live in Canada on Vancouver Island now.
My family and I visited this amazing place eight years ago. Thank you for this documentary!
The home of my Keith ancestors, I'd love to visit someday.
computer animation of what the castle look like in its prime, would really add to this video. Good video👍
I enjoy learning about this because my mother and her family are Keith's, bearing the title through the male lines from their late great grandfather; Sir William Keith
Yo
Me too!
Doing my family genealogy has been so much fun. Lord William Keith is my 12th great grandfather.
Lovely place . Good to hear more insights after visiting there.
I am a decendant of Clan Keith. I hope to one day visit my family’s ancient home

I’m a proud Kieth descendant and would love to visit this place.
Very interesting, thank you,
Excellent journey, thank you.
Thank you so much to learn so much of my great grandfathers family was totally AWESOME! FAMILY IS EVERTHING! Love you all!
Hello, i want to know if there is any register about this "island" being surrounder by houses near the castle area ? Thank you so much
Visited this a couple of weeks ago. It seems smaller today.
Very interesting. Some buildings need a roof. When you look at the Ruïne van Brederode in Santpoort, the Netherlands, you see what i mean.
Love the history...
we have the same last name my friend
I come from the Keith clan also! My fathers side. They immigrated to the Us and the majority of my branch still live in Virginia, we are in Missouri.
Mine as well! Immigrated to Canada, then to Michigan. Most of us still live here.
I'm a Keith. My people went to Missouri too. What town are your people in?
@@juzagirlntheroom2692
in france there aren't many keiths so I looked for the origin and I'm happy to be not the only one to have this name however I don't know if I'm part of the Keith clan
Same is their anyway to find immigrant records from
Scotland? I can trace Nichdodemus keith to Virginia but then the trail stops
Keith clan as well! Greetings from America
Hi Zach! My sister married into the Dixon family and my nephew was named Keith after the family ancestors (the Keiths who were the Earl Marischals).
@@marjoriegallece8914 wow that’s very awesome!! So cool to hear that!

I am too! He is my 8X great grandfather.
Beautiful building😙
Great video! I am from Stonehaven so thought I knew all there is to know about the Castle but I learned some new things here!

Dunnottar is an awesome looking castle on the crag. Such a shame it was ruined.

How's the clam digging there? Also am I entitled to a mooring?
Interesting stuff on the great www about the Keith. Thanks

Reminds me so much of Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland, next to the sea and in ruins and just as important.
Exact Same Peoples
@@barry5356 Stop dreaming the Picts lived there.
Highlands castels looks amazing
It's in the lowlands
Its actually about a mile from the highland boundary fault, being at the other end of Stonehaven bay.

Could the McKeithen family have come from or been part of the Clan Keith?
Hi James I am going to do a video on this place would you mind if I took a little of your video mirrored it in mine? 💚🌈🌈🌈💚💓🌻💝💝
Do you know of the Scottish castle that was burned down by the laird over the grief of his baby son's accidental death?
From Keith to Dix Surname
Dix:son of Richard the Keith
Anyone through the bloodline of Cornelius Keith?
What up cuz from WA USA
me from france lmao
Should renovate the castle
this is my clan , my great grandmother was a Harvey
oh wow , you just explained HOW i am descended from Robert the Bruce , i feel like crying now , i feel so emotional , my dna said it was fact but i was adopted so i knew nothing , i found my family but they did not know anyway , they told me my great grandmother was Carrie Harvey but prity much that was all they said , i think they knew because my grandmother took real china on picnics who does that ?
Cromwell just wanted to burn all the gold down and sell the Jewels for money., was a blessing we managed to escape with them.
I’m watching this because I just found out I’m a very recent blood descendant of the Keith family.

Ish you asked a scot for the pronunciation before you record.

Talked way too fast. !!!!

Sorry you speak to fast:((
hey buddy
your slurring your words. line you've been drinking.

so.......
did you ever ask yourself why?
if you ever do, your slurred speech the entire way through...... start to finish..... i'd
Your pronunciation of Dunnottar is hideous, when you are commenting on our history you could at least pronounce our language correctly.
You sound like a Keith
Cool 😎
fantastic? lmao u mean fantasized?
