Excellent Gentlemen, good watch & listen. Appreciated your 'Stone Spotting' across the River. Regards & best wishes for you both are sent from an old Roman Town on the Antonine Way - Western Scotland. Thanks
@@BKR Cheers mate. I am just glad you didn’t do the “flying Scotsman” crossing the burn, creak, stream …. Depending on where in the world you’re many subscribers call that treacherous burn crossings 😉👍🏴
Dalmoulin - Mill Field. What a beautiful spot. Well worth the visit. The cottage is a 19th century addition. The original house would have been in line with the byers. Typical Angus farmstead of its day.
OMG, what a beautiful place! It's amazing how much the landscape looks like Oregon. When I cross a creek like that I take a walking stick, or just pick up a stick on the edge of the creek. Also you can use spray that repels the ticks and other insects so you're safer. That little farm is enchanting! I'll bet people kept the farm going into the 1800s since that iron bed would likely have been made then. My grandparents had a log house that was built by my great-grandparents in Arkansas, but there's nothing left of it now. The advantage of building with stone! I noticed inside the stone cottage, some of the stones were shaped using the same method as some very ancient sites in archeology, where they took a small round stone and peck little pieces out till it's shaped or flattened. I suppose the house and barn would have had a thatched roof. That's so cool to see. All the little niches in the walls to store things too.
The dressed stone around the doors and windows looks very fine. I think that building is probably 18th century or older with some 19th century additions/adjustments. 19th century is 1800s. It's an interesting site for sure. Enjoy exploring while the weather is fine. When winter comes again you can hole up with some architectural history books and learn about all the different construction methods and how to read the history in the bones of buildings and landscapes. It would be interesting to know what this place was and why it was abandoned. Was it because of the clearances...
It’s funny I grew up near the Niagara River that leads to Niagara Falls, so for the river they cross; “that’s not a river, thats a creek Canada” - lol. 😂
6:26 in. It’s a burn in Scotland. Yes it is. River or stream but WE call it a burn. 🏴. Love it.
I’m loving this channel ❤️👍
It's easy to get lost in nostalgia but I bet it was a hard & brutal life.
Another great video

Often these buildings had stone slab roofs from about 1500's onwards but more ancient ones had thatched roofs for sure.
Could you imagine crossing that cold of winter

Fr Toronto very nice

I believe that a lot of these old abandoned crofts may have been left abandoned because of wars/ conflicts??
