A Sunny Day At Drum Castle
I am thrilled to announce that we had another sunny day in Scotland so a wee couple vlog seemed necessary to document the occassion!
This time, the weather reached a whopping 25 degrees!
Today we visited Drum Castle in Aberdeenshire. It is one of our favourite places to go on a weekend, especially when the weather is nice.
Drum Castle is part of National Trust Scotland and if you are looking to Scotland travel or see some Scottish castles then this one is lovely to keep in mind.
It is such a beautiful building to visit and the grounds are great. I would especially recommend visiting if you have a family as there is a great park for kids along with a lake and a rose garden!
We went along the Drumhill walk and then stopped off at the cafe for some much needed drinks!
After our visit to Drum Castle, it seemed a shame to go straight home as it was still so light so we went for a walk along the Aberdeen beach front with an ice cream. We sat on the steps and watched the tide come in.
I hope you enjoy these informal Scottish vlogs and get to see something a little different from me. This vlogger malarkey is taking some getting used to :)

British Benny
In which Benny pretends to be Bill Bryson and reads a Wikipedia article on Morris Danceing.
You can tell what footage is from 2009 (my first year dancing) not just by my pony-tail and bad dancing but by how scrawny I was, and the video quality.
All this footage is from easter 2011 and 2009 Newtowne Morris Men's Annual Easter Tour. We go and dance in Boston every year, I think this was the 32nd or something like that. At the beginning of the video, the dance we are doing was my first dance I ever danced out on tour. That dance was my first morris dance on tour. It was rather traumatizing and I have not danced that dance on tour since.

Palace and Castle Stirling Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the Palace and Castle in Stirling. King James V and his second wife Mary of Guise constructed the grand palace at Stirling Castle, which was designed to heighten royal mystique. The castle is one of the largest and most important Scottish castles. It is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, giving it a strong defensive position. Its strategic location, guarding what was, until the 1890s, the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth. Several Scottish Kings and Queens have been crowned at Stirling, including Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1542. There have been at least eight sieges of Stirling Castle, including several during the Wars of Scottish Independence, with the last being in 1746, when Bonnie Prince Charlie unsuccessfully tried to take the castle.

8 Castles - Trip to Scotland
#TriptoScotland #FebProductions
Partiamo da Dundee. Oggi visiteremo alcuni castelli, tra cui il castello di Glamis, il magnifico castello di Dunnottar, il castello di Crathes, il castello di Craigievar. In auto attraverseremo le Highlands, la terra dei Gaeli e degli Altipiani e arriveremo per il pernottamento a Inverness a circa 40 km dal lago di Loch Ness.
Il castello di Glamis è un luogo davvero magico. Posto alla fine di un lunghissimo viale, per il suo aspetto fiabesco, è tra i più popolari di Scozia.
Proseguiamo per il castello di Denettar
Prima però facciamo tappa al pittoresco villaggio di Stonehaven, a un paio di miglia a nord del castello
Il castello di Dunnottar è uno dei ruderi più splendidi della Scozia.
Il castello gode di una posizione difensiva straordinaria: si erge infatti su uno sperone roccioso a picco sul mare, a circa cinquanta metri d'altezza, l'unica via d'accesso dalla terra ferma è uno stretto sentiero in pendenza che si snoda lungo la roccia.
Raggiungiamo l’entrata principale, una porticina piccola e stretta che si raggiunge attraverso un sentiero pieno di gradini e veniamo immediatamente catapultati in un mondo antico nel quale il tempo sembra essersi fermato
Secondo la testimonianza di “Blind Harry”, un poeta del XV secolo e il cui poema epico fu d’ispirazione per il film Braveheart, William Wallace conquistò il castello, che durante la guerra d’indipendenza era in mano inglese, nel 1297 e diede fuoco ad una cappella nella quale c’era una guarnigione di soldati inglesi chiusi al suo interno.
Lo spettacolo è mozzafiato, guardando gli speroni rocciosi si possono osservare molti uccelli marini
Proseguiamo per altri due castelli in direzione Inverness
Il primo che troviamo è il castello di Crathes
Il castello, con pianta ad L, è circondato da un parco di 240 ettari con giardini e presenta una facciata di color rosato.
Il secondo è il castello di Craigievar.
La struttura tradizionale dei manieri scozzesi era condizionata dai costi:
per i tetti, si doveva impiegare il legno, abbastanza raro sul luogo, e quindi assai costoso.
Per ottenere la stessa superficie abitabile, si aumentavano i piani e di conseguenza si riduceva il costo dei tetti
Ripartiamo per raggiungere il luogo del nostro pernottamento a Inverness attraversando le Highlands e il Cairngorms National Park
Le Highlands scozzesi, ovvero gli altipiani, sono la regione montuosa della Scozia, posta a nord e ad ovest del Regno Unito.
Esse sono comunemente descritte come una delle più belle e scenografiche regioni dell'Europa.
Distese d’erica a perdita d’occhio, inframmezzate dal verde lussureggiante, punteggiato qua e là da pecore al pascolo. Le nuvole in cielo che fanno mutare costantemente colore e aspetto al panorama.
Eccoci a Inverness. Per noi è solo una cittadina di passaggio
Qui sosteremo la notte
Inverness è la città più grande nonché capitale culturale delle Highlands scozzesi.

Places to see in ( Banchory - UK )
Banchory is a burgh or town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is about 18 miles west of Aberdeen, near where the Feugh River meets the River Dee. The name is thought to be derived from an early Christian settlement founded by St Ternan. It is claimed that Ternan was a follower of St Ninian. Tradition has it that he established his settlement on the banks of the River Dee on what was later to become the kirkyard of the medieval parish of Banchory-Ternan.
Banchory is the largest town in the area and has a High Street. There are a number of hotels and restaurants including the Stag Hotel, Scott Skinners Bar and Restaurant, the Burnett Arms, and the Douglas Arms. The shops include newsagents, sports shops and chemists. Since the 1970s, the town has grown steadily. Since 2001 there has been rapid expansion. A large forested area 'the Hill of Banchory', owned by the Burnett family (owners of Crathes Castle), to the north east of the town has been replaced by a large housing estate and an influx of new residents. The Hill of Banchory primary school was opened in 2006 to cater for the increased population.
As a small rural town, surrounded by forestry and agricultural land, Banchory has seen considerable expansion in recent years. Development pressure continues to be strong and the town's population now exceeds 8,001. As Banchory expands, more demands are placed on local infrastructure such as doctors, dentists, sports facilities, swimming pool and schools. In recent years, the Bellfield Doctor's Surgery, the Fountain Dental Surgery, the Morrisons Supermarket and Banchory Academy have all undergone extended and upgraded facilities. In 2010, Tesco built an eco-store to the east of the town, it is hoped this will encourage further residential development to this end of the village.
Banchory Academy is a state (public) secondary school, with a school roll of over 950. Despite strong opposition from the local community, a retirement home 'Dalvenie Home' was built on land next to the Academy in the 1990s. The planning process was taken to the Scottish Office where local opposition was over-ruled. The retirement home opened in 2001 and has restricted expansion of the Academy and the adjacent sports centre.
Banchory is known as the Gateway to Royal Deeside. It is surrounded by lovely rural countryside and attractive hills. For the visitor, the town has much to offer with two famous castles nearby, Crathes and Drum – both run by the National Trust for Scotland. The Bridge of Feugh offers the chance to see salmon leaping and there are numerous fine golf courses nearby.
The small town museum recognises that this is the birthplace of James Scott Skinner and supports many local traditional musicians and singers and also has a fine selection of local archaeology. Local landmarks include Scolty hill; a hill topped by a tower monument, a memorial to General Burnett who fought alongside Wellington.
Local sports teams include Banchory St Ternan football club, Banchory Boys Club(Football), Banchory Amateurs(Football), Deeside RFC (Rugby), the Banchory Beavers swimming team and the Banchory Stags Basketball Club. Banchory has three summer league football teams (Banchory thistle, Banchory youngstars and Banchory stoats) which compete in the mid-Deeside summer league. Banchory River Festival is held every June and features a weekend of varied activities and attractions for all ages. The main event is held on the Saturday in the Bellfield Park, Banchory with dozens of stalls each with their own unique feature.
