Dip in Media creates short videos of interesting places to visit in Scotland. We try to provide a little background history and interesting facts in each video.
Great video but you went from John of Islay at the start of the Hundred Years War to John of Islay at the end of the Hundred Years War in the blink of an eye.
Ive watch the series story of James Frazer, ive seen some scene ih here, while listening the soft narator voice and watching the video im imagining some scene of Outlander...the cruelty of the people in 13th century upto 17th, same as our situation in the Philippines in time of Spanish era for 300years....Glad i am in the 19th Century...
Remember doing a school field trip to the old man by boat from school on Gramsey in the late 60s. Please visit Orkney to soak in all the unique history of the many islands and the fantastic people living there. I was fortunate to visit many sites with my late father whilst living in Orkney. Treasured memories..
21:07 Not correct. Both Scots and English parliments were ajourned. (Not a permanent act) Then a new UK parliment was instated. Subject to various conditions in the treaty of Union. Pay attention to these facts - They are very important.
Many Scots have higher Neanderthal DNA than other cultures. There was a Nean-Sapien migration from the Levant. Skara Brae folk may have had higher Nean DNA in them.
Don't you find contradicting to the "global warming theory", that climate 5000 years ago was WARMER THEN TODAY, yet the SEA LEVEL WAS FARTHER AWAY then today. - very interesting ;) Side note2: According to recent studies The GREAT PYRAMID is actually 10.000+ years old. It is suggested this structure is pre=flooded (meaning over 11..600 ago)
Don’t know where you get the sea was farther away. It says here the sea encroached further and further INLAND because rising sea level and rising temperature.
@@RoxanneM- The information plate on the site says clearly: 5000 years ago the beach was a couple of km AWAY from the village. When the village was build it was ALREADY 3-5 degree warmer. ANd we know, they didn't build it ON THE BEACH, but in some distance, Do you understand? It was much warmer, jet the sea level was lower. Fact check it. The numbers will support it. And then sit calmly and think about it for a while, please, ok? ;)
I can’t help but think that these unusual ( to us ) types of buildings were built for protection from the larger animals both flying and walking like dinosaurs, and the larger birds and such animals
Thank you. We really make the videos as a hobby. We are both in our late seventies and we learn so much in their making that I, at least, have taken for granted in the past.
Thank you. I have a forebear born May 1771 at Fetteresso just outside of Stonehaven. Occupation, sailor, keeper of Dunnottar Castle and Feuar. From his obituary............... Obituary - Aberdeen Herald; many years keeper of Dunnottar Castle, and was much appreciated for his admirably graphic and interesting description of that ancient ruin". Bards of Bon-Accord mentions that John .......... was employed on famous smacks that sailed from Aberdeen - London. Came into Aberdeen about 1814 when he was 43. He probably had been a sailor before becoming keeper at Dunnottar. Thank you again for a beautiful presentation
Folk of my aine heart. Video is done really well! Fine ti hear ither doric spickers.. im making a series ana, currently focusing on peterhead if you funcy hayin a lookie.
Many memories of walks of Old Aberdeen ..and experienceswhen I was at Aberdeen Uni..and stayed at Hillhead Halls..from 1977 -81..Fit like!! Simon Artley Manchester UK
Really enjoyed the video. Very interesting and informative, but not OTT. Great balance. The only time I was at the castle was in the late 60's when I was a kid and the Cellar where the covenanters were held, scared the 💩 out of me. I've often wondered what the small building was at Dunnottar Kirk when up at family graves. Now I know. Thanks.
Being a Hoy, im looking forward to visiting my heritage of where we came from, assuming Norway to hear and to United States, all the very best, health and happiness.
This was wonderful, I was there in early August, but couldn’t get out to the island, only 2 buses from Kirkwall and the timing didn’t work. The coastline was beautiful and loved watching the waves roll in. Definitely recommend a visit.
