Brilliant video of Penicuik! I’m the local Councillor here, much of the town is currently undergoing heritage regeneration, and the churchyard is part of it. The hearse house next to the church yard is going to become a heritage centre. Hope you enjoyed your time in Penicuik!
I’m being a broken record again…awesome drone footage! Ouch! I actually felt that one 🤕 Beautiful countryside! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! 👍🏼
We visited Penicuik on one of our Edinburgh trips. We can confirm that we struggled to find anything much to do in the town too! Even in August! We loved New Lanark. That's definitely worth a visit.
Penicuik is my home town. We used to live by the "Targets" on Pomathorn Lane, ar the foot of Uttershill. I used to play in the ruined castle at the top.
@@scotlandonashoestring Apparently it was a manor house, but it was like a keep, and very ruined. Right on the Esk before it headed for the paper mill. The Targets was interesting too, the army used the area as a shooting range and we found spent bullets.
I used to go swimming at the targets. Old brick factory as well. Holidayed at my nanas on loan burn avenue and spent every weekend there. Has a wee gang hut up the sandy hole 😂😂
I was brought up for a time in Penicuik. My grandfather had a Watchmakers shop in the Square and lived above the shop (Croft Street before that). It was a lovely community before it was suddenly expanded. We used to go to the ruined castle at Uttershill too and building dams on the Black Burn. Very happy memories.
Dan and co. of Escape to rural France is rebuilding a chateau. Currently has some floors in and is working on part of the roof. Fascinating to see a shell of a building being made whole again.
You always make a place interesting. Shame the estate burned out. Looked like a beautiful structure. The graveyard was nice. It's good that sinking is being addressed Like the tartan runner pants. Enjoy your week you too ❤
As alway I love all the drone footage and the beautiful architecture and any cemeteries. As for you talking to fast when you get excited I can still understand everything you are saying. I hope you all have a blessed week.
That was a perfectly lovely visit to a town with nothing to see. 😂😉 Your commentary brought a smile to my face from the beginning to the end, so thank you very much for that, Iain. I particularly needed it today. 🥰 I'm looking forward to catching up on your older videos. See you again soon. 😁🤗💖👍👋
Love your drone footage! We are trying to get into using ours more this year. Sorry your parking situation was difficult haha that would be annoying. And all the fences. Candice, Andrew & Riley 🐾
What a great bit of nothing to see! Thanks for including some more park run footage...I'm always curious about that part but you hardly ever show much 🩷
I don't have that issue with my head as mine is much closer to the ground lol. What a stunning house, amazing views too. Such a shame to see it empty like that.
Shame about the beautiful house. Another great graveyard. I was home in Clackmannanshire last week and when I got back to Kent no-one knew what I was saying ha ha.
I wonder what happened to the son who died in Colorado Springs in the early 1900s. That's not far from me (by American standards - about 3 hrs). I'm not sure when Colorado Springs was founded, but Fort Collins where I live was in it's early days then. Still quite Wild West. Ah, it looks like C.S. was already around for about 50 yrs by the time that person died. It was a popular spot for British tourists. Interesting!
