Bendochy Scotland Churchyard and Cemetery Tour
Shortly after finding the world's small smallest library in the form of a converted phone box in the area of Bendochy Scotland, we came upon this old church and cemetery. In interesting find with something unusual at the end!!
Edinburgh Old Town tour. Cemetery fragment ( guillotine & Cpt. John Porteous ). Scotland
Yeah, the angle is not the perfect one, my camera is not the best one, this excerpt of the tour might not be the best one out of it, but who cares? I didn't want to leave the tour without taking some shots, and I was sorry I missed the writers fragment ( near the Writers museum ). We had a great time, we took a glimpse of the impressive history of this great city and area - City of Edinburgh, Scotland.
Our tour guide was Johnney, a very knowledgeable guy and a showman as well ( a stand up comedian, radio host, history buff and happy traveller all wrapped into one convenient Scottish package. Johnney studies history and politics at Edinburgh University and when he’s not telling stories or doing bad impressions he can be found pursuing his hobby of muggle Qudditch, in fact he captains the Edinburgh Qudditch team! Johnney enjoys meeting new people and travelling so expect warmth and a whole hat of stories. ).

The Scottish Maiden (supposedly based on the Halifax Gibbet) was introduced to Edinburgh by James Douglas, 4th Earl of Morton in the 16th century and remained in use until 1716. The scaffold itself is now housed in the National Museum of Scotland
Edinburgh (/ˈɛdɪnbərə/; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Èideann) is the capital city of Scotland, situated in Lothian on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. It is the second most populous city in Scotland and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. The population in 2013 was 487,500.
Edinburgh has been recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century (after Scone, Perth, Roxburgh, and Stirling, respectively) but political power moved south to London after the Union of the Crowns in 1603 and the Union of Parliaments in 1707. After nearly three centuries of unitary government, a measure of self-government returned in the shape of the devolved Scottish Parliament, which officially opened in Edinburgh in 1999. The city is also the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and home to many national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. Edinburgh's relatively buoyant economy, traditionally centred on banking and insurance but now encompassing a wide range of businesses, makes it the biggest financial centre in the UK after London. Many Scottish companies have established their head offices in the city.
Edinburgh is rich in associations with the past and has many historic buildings, including Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and an extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th century. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town are jointly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city has long been known abroad as a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, the sciences and engineering. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1583 and now one of four in the city, was placed 17th in the QS World University Rankings in 2013. The city is also famous for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the largest annual international arts festival in the world. In 2004 Edinburgh became the world's first UNESCO City of Literature, an accolade awarded in recognition of its literary heritage and lively literary activities in the present. The city's historical and cultural attractions, together with an annual calendar of events aimed primarily at the tourist market, have made it the second most popular tourist destination in the United Kingdom after London, attracting over one million overseas visitors each year.

Robert Lee Memorial Greyfriars Tolbooth Highland Kirk Edinburgh Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the Robert Lee Memorial in Greyfriars Tolbooth Highland Kirk on ancestry visit to Edinburgh. In the mid 19th century, the Rev. Robert Lee, then minister of Old Greyfriars, led a movement to change the worship, introducing the first post-Reformation stained glass windows in a Presbyterian church in Scotland, and also one of the first organs. He received considerable criticism at the time, but most of his proposals were subsequently widely accepted in the Church of Scotland.
The surname name Lee was carried to England in the enormous movement of people that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Lee family lived in any of the various places named Leigh in England.

Chapter VIII - Ghosts of Culloden Part II HD
As part of our Scottish history series chapters on Scottish events and historical figures, SGA continue with Part II of 'Ghosts of Culloden'.
On 16th April 1746, the final Jacobite Rising came to a brutal head in one of the most harrowing battles in British history. The Battle of Culloden (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Chùil Lodair). Jacobite supporters of Charles Edward Stuart, seeking to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British thrones, gathered to fight the Duke of Cumberland's government troops at Culloden (Drumossie Moor). It was the last pitched battle on British soil and, in less than an hour, around 1,500 men were slain – more than 1,000 of them Bonnie Prince Charlie's Jacobites. SGA follow their paranormal investigations on the anniversary eve to Drumossie Moor, from 'The Battlefield' to 'The Retreat' of Ruthven Barracks and 'The Farmhouse', where a Jacobite clansman is reputed to have made his last journey after being tracked down, chased and shot by Government redcoats. In memory, this is SGA's documented events of what happened...

Old Photographs Port William Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Port William a small fishing village in in the parish of Mochrum, Wigtownshire, Dumfries and Galloway. In the 17th and 18th centuries Port William was known as much for the illicit activities of its smugglers as for the legitimate trade of its port. The original settlement was known as Killantrae, meaning 'The Church on the Beach' in Gaelic, and was probably founded not long after St Ninian arrival in nearby Whithorn towards the end of the 4th century. Killantrae was swept away following the intervention of developer and landlord Sir William Maxwell, 5th Baronet, of Monreith House. In the five years until 1776 he built an entirely new village, complete with a good harbour and was renamed Port William. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
Former GNSR rails near Rothiemay Station, Huntly, Aberdeenshire. 30.9.2010
Former Great North of Scotland Railway line just west of Rothiemay Station, near Huntly, Aberdeenshire, heading towards Grange, Keith and Inverness beyond. Locus is off the Huntly - Portsoy road. Turn hard left before the bridge over the River Isla, under the railway track and there's a nice boulder tae stand on by the trackside before you head off tae Ruthven.
This is for you, Iain. Few snaps of the bridge at Rothiemay to follow, mate.
Nice sunny Thursday, 30th. September, 2010.

The Old Course, St Andrews, Scotland - PerryGolf.com
The Old Course, St Andrews, Scotland - Truly it’s remarkable that the game of golf continues to revolve around the course that gave it birth over 600 years ago. One of the oldest golf courses in the world, the Old Course at St Andrews is referred to by many as the “Home of Golf.”
It’s all the more impressive when you consider that aside from a few new tees and bunkers plus an irrigation system, the world’s 3rd ranked golf course hasn’t been made over since 1764 when 22 holes were reconfigured to 18. Meanwhile the game and its players have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age, and yet, in 2015 the Old Course at St Andrews hosted The Open Championship for the 29th time – a run that began in 1873. Clearly there is no place like the Home of Golf.
Wide double fairways, seven extensive double greens, and a multitude of intimidating bunkers are just some of the unique features you will encounter. You’ll tee off in the shadow of the R&A, with the Valley of Sin on your left, and a gallery of locals, tourists and other players looking on all around. When your name is called to the tee your knees will know it. Our best advice is to take a line 20-30 yards left of the green, play for 225-250 yards off the tee, and slow yourself down.
More. This is a moment to savor. Forever.

Mother Of Sir William Wallace Grave Dunfermline Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the grave of the mother of Sir William Wallace on visit to old graveyard by Dunfermline Abbey in Fife. W illiam Wallace was born on 1272 in Ellerslie, Scotland. He was the second of three sons of Sir Malcolm Wallace, a minor laird possessing little political power and nobility, and Margaret de Crauford, the daughter of Sir Reginald de Crauford, the Sheriff of Ayr. William Wallace was educated at home by his mother, then given schooling and religious education by the monks of Paisley Abbey.
Traditions surrounding Dunfermline tell that Sir William wanted to erect a monument to his mother after her death in 1280, but did not have time to do so, thus he planted a thorn tree instead. The Dunfermline Abbey Kirk Session Burial Register records burials by marking them from that Thorn Tree, a singular honor. The thorn tree stands on a small mound on the northern side of the Kirkyard.
London to Edinburgh from Kings Cross Station
We rode up to Edinburgh from Kings Cross, of course passing through Platform 9 3/4! Wandered around the gorgeous old streets of Edinburgh, lingering for a long time in the peaceful Greyfriar's Kirkyard and finding a few familiar names upon the graves there.
