- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2022
- We're in Dornoch where we uncover the story of the last witch in Britain to be executed for witchcraft. Janet Horne and her daughter were tried and convicted of witchcraft but only one was killed. Why? We also check out Dornoch Cathedral, the Old Town Jail, and the famous golf course!

Colin, if my history teachers back in school had had just a 1/10th of your ability to tell a story and make it as interesting, as you do then I might actually have learned something in those classes. As of now, I just have to pick it up from other sources like to just mention one other source: The history guy, history needs to be remembered. You are doing a great job telling us ignorants what has happened before all the high school soaps on the TV.
Even though you two have gone ashore now, you're still one of my favorite Friday pastimes. Keep up the good work!
Shaun's tombstone will read: "Here Lies Shaun....You Can't Say That!"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks guys, I always love these history lessons! This one seems especially apropos over here across the Pond in the USA . We are seeing the rise of so much misinformation and hatred that I wonder when they will start burning people again? As a Gay married couple like you two, I am especially concerned with the rise of the extremely intolerant religious Right (an oxymoron for sure!). Remembering the excesses of the past as you did in today's vlog is a helpful antidote to all this horrific nonsense and disinformation. Thanks for digging up these facts from history and presenting them with humor, and at the same time with an eye to the serious lesson that we all need to heed today.
@@djhrecordhound4391 Agreed! Well said.
What a sad story 😢. Poor Janet.
Shawn’s reaction to Elizabeth Dick is proof that aging is mandatory but growing up is purely optional.
Great episode as alway. Cheers!
Oh Colin !you make our day , my wife and I absolutely love all of the history you share with us all wherever you are , we are in our late 60s and luv you both and look forward to every vlog . Have a fantastic week .luv and blessings from Australia 💙💙🐕
I just want to say how jealous I am of the love the two of you share. It makes me jealous and happy at the same time to know the two people can be so in love and share such a wonderful life together. Together the two of you overcome all the issues of living in today's world and as a team you face the future. That is not always a beautiful thing but a very rare thing in these days. Although I miss the time you spent on your boat I cherish any and all of your videos and will follow you anywhere in the world. Your humor, love and satirical approach to life it is just my cup of tea and brings joy to mine. I've been to England once back in the '80s I loved every second of it. I'm from the United States in Florida but plan to come over and do an extended stay and rent a narrow boat for a few weeks and travel the country. I hope I have the pleasure someday of meeting both of you.
I swear you two could describe paint drying and make it interesting!
Thanks for another good one! x
As a hedge witch it always gives me the shivers hearing about the trials. But great video guys really love your sense of humour. 👍❤️👍
Accused: "They dressed me up like this!" Accuser: "Well we did do the nose. … And the hat. But she's a witch!!"
Great story on the witches and Dornoch. So glad the Scottish Parliament/church apologised etc etc. look forward to more. 💗💗🙋♀️🙋♀️
You guys are absolutely smashing it. I know it sounds a bit sad but I've been struggling a bit with my mental health recently and your videos really give me a boost.
How do you do it?. I've been lost since I lost my soul mate to cancer and not only lost
my partner but lost everything. Least you have each other. Collin is so lucky. I'm 61 and don't have your luck...but keep going. Like I said you are both inspired. You help me and therefore others. Xx
Your take on the history is so interesting. I’m always waiting in anticipation for your Friday vlog.
Elizabeth Dick, Maggie Mungo, Janet Horn...I know these names aren't necessarily intended to be funny, but the way Colin delivers them (and Shaun's accompanying reaction) just kills me every time. Thank you for the inadvertent laughs!
Wow, just realised that the weekend officially begins with your vlog for me. Such horrid part of history (some may consider insignificant probably) and yet I think it’s important to know about, thank you for the amazing research, it is much appreciated as always:)
rough week, got my weekly "you can't say that!!" so all better lol
Thanks guys! The sad history of witchcraft was here in the states too.
Love all the bits of history you guys share, even the sad parts. All the best, Gloria
I'm amazed you got through it with Sean's giggles, fascinating again
Oh the things I will see and the knowledge I will gain once I travel to your beautiful UK! I am so glad that you've moved off the Cut and expanded your lovely Channel. :)
Colin and Sean’s “ a history of Britain!” Love it. You two always make me laugh . X
Can’t wait to hear about the Dornoch “traaaaain”!
More tidbits of local lore, and lovely views of a lovely Scottish area (town/village/city?). Just the thing to start my Friday. ATB
💙💙💙 So very interesting and sad really how women got burnt, her last words were heartbreaking… beautiful place though, the architecture is amazing.
Love the outtakes. Have a super lovely weekend boys! Hug Ottis please. 💙💙💙
You guys really do a great job telling a story, thank you, very entertaining!
You both are definitely my favourite u-tube couple. Keep up the good vlogs. Thank you!
A historical tale told with skill and humour.
Thank you for all the research you do for these videos. You guys are wonderful.
Thanks for a most informative vlog today. Always look forward to getting my ‘Scotland fix’ on Friday. Have a great weekend ❤🏴
Interesting info about witches . About 400 people were executed for witchcraft, here in Sweden. The last one, in 1704. Thank you for telling history, in a interesting mode.
You are the masters of video story telling! Every detail is spot on. I know you do not need any more put on you. But how about, Silver Fox University of Cinematic Production? Great work!
Thanks for the vlog. Put smile on my face.
It is a beautiful looking spot. Love watching Shaun wagging his ‘arm’ around emulating the notification bell…lol
Thank you for another interesting bit of history. I love that watching the two of you has become a part of my Saturday morning routine. I loved watching you on Silver Fox and now on your plot of land. Hope you have a great week.
Thanks again for all the research that goes in to making these vlogs interesting. There's a direct line of fear, anger and misogyny from witch trials to female emancipation to the suffragettes to every woman who still has to battle sexist attitudes to do what her brother can do without question. Sadly, the word 'witch' is still more insult than adjective. Also Dornoch is beautiful.
Love this as a practicing “ witch “or healer so many women were murdered and wrongly accused. Love the channel ❤️👻
Thank you for another fun vlog guys, I loved it. Thank you Colin for another history lesson, it was fascinating. I was only aware of the witch hunts here in America and it never dawned on me that it also happened in Europe. Have a blessed day gentleman
Thanks. I love the pleasure you're getting from your new home, regardless of the topic.
There may not be burnings, but it's certainly a sad reflection on humanity that the attitude towards 'others' hasn't changed much.
Anyway, if you like the Dornoch airfield, you should take a flight up to some of the outer Orkney islands. This is going back 40 odd years but I think it was North Ronsldsay where they cleared away the cows just before the plane comes into land. As it's rolling along the field, the plane's wheels go through the cow pats, which get thrown up into the propellers and splattered across the side of the plane! For a 6 year old, that was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday!
Hi guys really enjoying your Scottish stories. We are looking forward to a trip up to Inverness in a couple of weeks, I found myself checking out what people were wearing in the background to inform our packing!!!!
Love the historic snippets and the innuendo. So many people were killed because of religious fanaticism in the past. Glad they received a posthumous pardon even though that doesn't atone for such terrible deaths.
Really getting into these vlogs about the area around you and your 'farming' exploits.
This made me cry - so sad how some treat others who are either different or with true gifts they don’t understand. Nice to see you both!
Nice part of the world, we were up there just after Madonna got wed. Locals didn't do to bad from renting rooms out to the world's press - apparently.
Loved the story! Thank you guys!❤️
Another interesting bit of history shared by you two. Thank YOU! Oh dementia! My mum had a series of strokes which left her with a serious case of dementia. I was her care giver for the last years of her life. Dementia . . . every day was a new adventure in time travel! She never forgot who I was because I was there every day, but my siblings really stuggled with it. Every time they would take a turn to care for her each week so I could have some personal time, she would not recognize them. She would send my youngest brother outside to find himself because it was bedtime. He used to joke and say he was sure glad he never found the little scoundrel. I'm glad I wasn't raised in those days. Both Mum and I might have been burned as witches. Run Carrie run!!!
Well done btw on your radio station and today's show Colin.
Brilliant video, thank you so much xx
fantastic.. the innuendoes just keep getting better.....
Very entertaining video blog lads, and full of double entendre as usual!!!😉👍
Brilliant vlog as usual, very informative. Shaun laugh is sooo infectious, don't ever change guys.. just be you!! ❤
What a wonderfully interesting and entertaining video. You guy's are great. I look forward to your vlogs on Friday and they help make my day. Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us. Keep well and safe. James.
Interesting vlog Colin, well done.
I've really been enjoying the wide variety of subjects you've been covering, and this is no exception. Being a trainspotter, I'm looking forward to the Dornoch branch line video. TRAAAIN!
Story telling really suits you both silver foxes tell all...thank you for a fab vlog...
Brilliant Colin and Shaun. I love the research that you put into your videos. Take care. Nick
Excellent video! I enjoy learning bits about history, the good and the bad. Cheers!
Love the historical content and everything else you are doing guys! Can’t get enough of it. Love you both!
Funny sad informative..Well done guys
A new word to turn Shaun red: "Dorning".
Information is power, remembering it, too 😉😉
Always enjoy the history lessons. Great stuff!
Delightful, as always! Thanks for the tour of Dornoch and the warts and all history.
That was nice. One thing, it's probably just me (But I loved it) being left handed and dyslexic, when I watched the Jeep reverse and the subsequent footage of the car travelling, it was still going backwards in my brain. Having a wonky brain is better than drugs ;))
I've been recently been following you two lovely funny twits (endearment) and I hope you keep going. I totally identify with you both in support and needs and the patients like an angel. Bless you both. Hope one day there will be an opportunity to meet. Ur both an inspiration. Bless you both.
that poor woman...what beautiful country ...brilliant video!
I had a couple of long weekends at Skibo Castle. One corporate event and one romantically that ended in disaster. Good to see you two again and again the history lessons are fascinating. You should visit Skibo Castle if you can.
Absolutely brilliant well done. Love your vlogs keep them up xxx
Thank you for always teaching us something new and making it fun and interesting. Great job! Kisses and hugs to Otis!! 🐾💚
THANK YOU for sharing Janet's story. Another GREAT Vlog.
Interesting topic today, Colin. Thanks for your research and instruction. Well done!
Thanks again guys. Another informative and sensitive vlog. Keep it up please we are enjoying your contributions very much. Best regards, Greg Melbourne Australia.
Loving these new vlogs. You guys have hit a new high point with these.
I think so too.
Thanks guys for a great historical vlog about your nowadays locality and as always brilliant out takes and it's lovely to see that you are both doing well. I hope that Otis is well also. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Another interesting and informative video! Love you guys!
Another great video. Love these historical (frequently hysterical) episodes. Keep ‘em coming guys 👍🏻😀
Great vlog, it was really interresting (as ever!) and good that apologies can be late, but not that hard.
Well executed video... you killed it Colin!
Brilliant, thanks for the history lesson❤️
Loved this video. Have a great weekend.
Great vlog. The old court and jail in Dingwall are now converted into flats - we stayed in one when we visited family in 2019. You can still the bars on some of the windows.
Brilliant as usual! Thank you both.
Just catching up after a trip to Dunbar where we saw an exhibition on Witchcraft in the town. Unusually there were men accused as well as women. You really made the stories come to life, looking forward to more. 😃
Another brilliant vlog, you should do this for a living! Oh by the way, here on the Wet coast near the Clyde there are still witches, not sure what they do though, maybe frolic through the woods baring skin to the midges? One told me her daughter used to threaten people at school, saying her Mum would turn them into frogs! Novel!
Another great video. Love all the history you guys share with people like me.
Take care!
Kia ora from NZ. You had me cracking up 🤣🤣 with the first (fist) part of the vlog. Love catching up your life in Scotland and getting the history of the places you visit.
I really have enjoyed this blog. I can't wait to get up to Scotland again. My husband and myself drive-thru Scotland stopped at pitlochry and a few other places on the way as we were going to Orkney. Keep up the good work. And enjoy your bank holiday weekend. Mary 👍
Loved the vlog.
Another excellent vlog. I really look forward to seeing you gents on Fridays. Best from Central Michigan!

Another great video has always colin Shaun and little Otis 👍
Hello my beauties 😍 😍 been looking forward to seeing your video 💙💙
Our family referred to fist sized stones as dornochs. We are in USA and they may have got it from my Uncle whose family came from Scotland. Now it makes sense........................I think.....
Good morning from NZ. Colin you are pretty magic on history, absolutely. We look forward to your videos. Shawn, you are just as precious as Colin. We love your laughing and " you can't say that ". Love you both. Cheers and thank you. Hugs for Otis.👍👌😀😀
