Bought by a locally born professor and his wife who have restored a number of local historic properties. It's good to know that there are still people interested in helping their local community and saving the heritage.
I'm late to see this and reach your comment section, but Alec, this was a truly amazing experience for me just watching! And for you to see firsthand I'm sure was even more so. I've always been interested in castles, but this one outdoes all the rest! The architecture itself is incredibly beautiful. It was a bit scary seeing the exterior of what appeared to be a prison with barred windows and only slots to let in minimal daylight. All of the interior was magnificent! The skills necessary to create such a masterpiece are nearly nonexistent today. I've read below that a couple purchased the property, and that's fantastic. Thank you so much for a beautiful tour with the special guest - the shaggy dog.
So beautiful!!! I can never understand why the governments make things so difficult financially that such historical places are left to decay and fall apart. Great job with the filming and the photography!
Bloody WOW!!!!! This place is beautiful, a mixture of very old and not so old. The four posters, the Targes the Swords, the Clean bathrooms, the grounds. JUST WOW. We were just blown away watching this. THANK YOU Alec.
My parents got married here .. it is such a beautiful place and I'm gutted that it's been abandoned. The history involves a woman in the 16th century who inherited the castle from her father but she was forced into being wed to a man she didn't love so she jumped from the tower and her ghost haunts the grounds. I don't know why it closed down but it was pretty recent. I hope somebody takes over and opens it as a hotel again. The room at 19:29 is the room I stayed in.
Oh my. I'm speechless. This is so stunning and so very beautiful. Wonder what happened and why it is empty. Looks recent too. This is my favorite. Cute dog. Thank you Alec for sharing this stunning find with us. I hope someone will do something before those jerk vandals find it. Hope they don t. Stay safe.
i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I love any tricks you can give me
Such a beautiful place, it seems very well kept still, the gardens, the building architecture are all so stunning, it's hard to believe this place has just simply been abandoned seems to good to be true, would love to visit this place myself, I've just recently relocated from my home town in Coventry and moved to Scotland, This building is an amazing find absolutely stunning
Love the dog. So happy running about. I really believe someone is cleaning various rooms in this beautiful manor. The bedrooms and bathrooms are almost spotless. It is a shame (as with many of the places Alec comes upon) that such places are expensive to properly keep up. If I had a lot of money, I sure would try to bring them back to life, open to the public and hope to play with the dog!
This place is in pretty well condition , seems like some one is taking care of this beautiful place , from the condition at present u can't call it an abandoned place in my opinion.
If offer fails, we would be happy to hear from you - we desire (the property) to be passed on to a young couple, Scotish blood still, if God's willing ! 🙏❤👍
OMG how scenic that looks walking on the crispy ground sounds lovely. That must have been the blacksmith area with that big anvil. It’s still fitted out that’s incredible What a fantastic place,
Hi Alec, cameras have never been a problem.. until they start beeping with the Sirens! And you see our beloved Alec and company.. and beautiful black🐺🐾 dog, RUN AS HELL! Wow! nice looking mansion, we definitely need to get in this one. I LOVES YOU GUYS! 💕💕💕💕
Very tastefully furnished, must be grade 1 listed. Thanks for the glimpse inside, I can almost hear a piper playing a lament for it. Hoping this magnificent property gets a new owner, soon!
Wow amazing. This is beautiful. I am new here. Love the outstanding photos just excellent . Why is this place not being used? So stunning. Those beds were great with all the carvings. And awesome stained glass windows. Lovely 🥰❤🤗 Your doggie is so well behaved and cute. Enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
Drone pics would have been fantastic of the outside of gardens and buildings.an awesome explore. It is so depressing to see these beautiful places decay.. thank you.
Yeah! WOW is right! Definitely my bedroom.. FREAKING GORGEOUS! These Poster Canopy Beds if antiques, are expensive..Darn these are just stunning. Alec has to take a photo of himself on the first bed shown... Alec you have hit the mother load of exploring adventures... today! I BILLION LIKES, CLICK ON THE LIKE BUTTON NOW!!! 😁👍🏻
Wow!! all the details of the bed , wall, railings ,everything it is so gorgeous.I have been to Scotland n Scotland is one of my favorite country ,full of history!!
Absolutely stunning! I want to Finnish making up that bed and run the vacuum cleaner around and do a general tidy up 😀 Thanks for showing us this fantastic property. Hope it's rescued soon before vandals discover it.
I think you have out done yourself on this one .. Absolutely incredible! Hopefully someone will buy this Magnificent Castle. Many cobwebs so no dusting for quite a while.
Love it.It looks more like a bed and. Breakfast with all those bedrooms and bathrooms.A lot has been updated not as old as the outside for sure.Beautiful.👍❤️🇺🇸
Unbelievable! the whole place is so neat and super clean..seems they hired someone to take care of the property..you cant even notice some trace of dust in there and no cobwebs as well..it's awesome!!
This place is NOT abandoned. You can’t just break into someone’s property because no one is in. I hope no one was in your house while you were filming this.
What an amazing place, brilliant explore, Alec. I remember hearing about it shutting down, let's hope someone reopens it and the vandals don't get to it. I agree with you, the knight on the chair was great. What a lovely Black German Shepherd, my favourite dog.
Another good video I can imagine how grand the place was at one time when t was used. Its in great shape for being abandoned. Do you have any history on it and know When was it abandoned? I love how you took your dog with you as well. what’s your dogs name? What breed? It looks like a shepherd couldn’t tell for sure in the video.
Love the sound of the crunching of the frost 🤫 unsure if that building is actually abandoned seems to good inside for that and well kept inside and out 🤔
Debi and Wendy turns out it wasn't empty After all... Not saying that Alex knew it either. Just saying that it was closed for winter. Oñly saying that cause that's what others some are say. But birds poo on a bed would say someone needs to do their job.
Crazy ! Are you kidding !?! I´ve seen a lot, but this one sure tops it all by far ! Respect 👍 PS: I was listening very carefully and you only said "it stinks (in here)" twice 🤣👍
I don't understand the significance of the anvil in the gazebo at the beginning?? And it really tripped me out how many cameras are spread throughout this wedding venue bed and breakfast place!!!!?? What a trip? Also in the weapons room Did anyone notice the lighting up on the ceiling ? That was very weird??
I honestly love this Alec brilliant it’s beautiful to even see it in that condition! I would of thought there wer sensors inside if they cameras/sensors outside didn’t work they ones inside would set the alarm off! Thank fully there’s no sensors inside but that’s definitely stunning! Love it keep up the good Work
So beautiful, I just googled it and it appears to be under offer which is good news. The current owner inherited it and the upkeep of the castle was too much. Really hope it gets a new owner.
Interesting room of Weaponry, especially those Frails displayed on the wall.. A Frail is a wood club handle, with a chained spiked ball attached, the ones without the chains are called Morning Stars... Funny these Morning stars were also called, Holy Water Sprinklers.. 🤣Definitely nothing HOLY about this weapon! This is probably my favorite room... Still scary but amazing as well. Your right Alec the ceiling is amazingly beautiful. Awesome video, perfect for King Arthur and his men.⚔
Hey Alec when I get over to Scotland it would be awesome to go on an adventure to see this place in person. My kind of bathrooms and those beds. Unbelievably beautiful. I love the “older” darker wood. & the rooms appear huge! Love the dog. He’s a good cover story ☺️📸📸. Be safe and thanks for another great video 👍
What an absolutely stunning hotel inside and outside. I loved seeing the four poster beds, makes my bed look like shite, lol. I truly enjoyed this explore. Thank you Alec 👍❤️😊
When these places close why do they just abandon them with beds made, etc? If they paid staff for one more week to store the custom canopy fabrics, coverlets, decorative pillows etc in air/water tight containers they would be usable for the next owners. That reproduction tapestry hanging in the stairwell is a couple thousand dollars new but will be full of mold by the time anyone else is able put this place to use.
What an absolutely fantastic place! Love it! Thank you. Perhaps this is sale that fell through or something? Hope it doesnt sit empty very long. Would be a shame to see this place deteriorate. Make a great high end rehab place for troubled youth.
My dream home! How beautiful!! Its so sad these gorgeous homes are not taken and restored. We don't have this beautiful architecture in America..I hope it goes to a grateful person that can restore! Ugh it breaks my heart!!
WoWZy! This pad was magnificent ! Realizing it has been relatively updated, it still remains with many of the castles' old artifacts. Some even medieval. Now it is crying out for new owners to come rescue it before the "destroyers" figure a way in and begin its demise! PLEASE, someone wealthy enough fall in love with this beautiful home and save it from the darkness that can be brought upon it from the lowest of our society! Thanks, Alec, and crue another amazing explorer on your resume. You're one of the best! May God bless you dudes, and protect you from the Po-Po and any harm! P€ac€ ~n~ £0v€
@Melinda Pelfrey lol well I'm certainly a commoner now as well as all my family. On another side of my family they came from one of the well known border reiver clans. No wonder I seem to have bad luck, maybe somebody put a hex on us 😬 or maybe I just to look at the glass as half full instead of half empty. Interesting though maybe some of our ancestors rubbed shoulders in the past heh.
Medieval? No. Was constructed in the 1850’s in the Scottish baronial style. It isn’t abandoned either. Was a hotel. Still owned. There should be a caretaker there somewhere
Ever thought about Closed Caption or English subtitles for those of us not used the strong Scottish accent....don’t get me wrong. I LOVE IT. But I would enjoy the video and love understanding the banter even more ❤️thank you 👊🏻
It looks like a nice update of an obviously historic structure, operated as a hotel and wedding venue. It's too bad that it's no longer functioning as such. It appears to have been a nice facility.
I💓 the dog. He is another explorer, this is an Históric Building Heritage, está modernizado y se usa como hotel ... no se usa en invierno porque no hay turismo...No está abandonado...fue adaptado respetando la historia a estos tiempos...en la placa de bronce de las habitaciónes dice seguramente el nombre de las diferentes tipos de suites, si hasta tiene calentador de toallas! Ese edificio está impecable y cerrado en invierno! Magnifico, me encantaría hospedarme allí si voy a Escocía, debe ser bastante caro...Saludos desde Argentina
I just came across this video. What a beautiful place. It looks like it is ready to open with a little clean up. I'm surprised this place hasn't been stripped of all the items. If I had the money I would try to open it back up. Do you have any more details why this was closed and when?
I love the dog. Having a dog along also gives you plausible deniability if someone shows up. You can just say, “oh, sorry, yeah, got lost walking the dog when he wandered off.”
I believe this property once belonged to one of my Scottish ancestors, so I'm going to have to place my claim and move in directly! This is a gem and needs to have people in it again to take care of it.
Oh, believe me, I am immensely proud of it! I hope to visit one day. Norway, too. If I traced my heritage correctly, one of my ancestors was connected to the Scottish crown, but that was long, long ago.
@@samsmom1491 That's very interesting! Looking up one's ancestry is always a fun time. Truth be told, my ancestors had ties to the English Crown at one point.
@@blizzardfarch2504 Mine did too! I think we can all (or almost all) trace back to a royal ancestor. I'm very, very, very distantly related to royalty in Spain, Scotland, England and Prussia. I'm also related to the D'Isney family which changed their name to Disney in America. I was being cheeky about the property mentioned in the video, although I'd love to have it.
I was married here, will always be the most amazing day of my life. Sadly it fell into financial difficulty a few years ago. it was sold on, and supposed to be being restored as the amazing wedding venue it was was the last update I got. I hear nothing these days about it now but very much hope it does make a return as would love to go back for the memories
I don't have two cents to rub together but my Father is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, He has already prepared my very own manor in heaven. Beautiful, what a shame that this extraordinary manor is not being enjoyed by some family before it falls into ruin and disrepair. Kudo's for excellent coverage and presentation.
Very beautiful, well kept. But the price to stay there ,is way over my head. Wealth and prestige only! 4 poster beds for the most, very ,very beautiful. Ty for the tour. Tc and stay safe always.
What a excellent explore Alec that place was amazing love the 4 poster beds look so comfy it looked a very cold day to amazing video can’t wait for the next one stay safe 😀
Wow absolutely stunning, but it looks very clean almost like a bed and breakfast, I see no dust, bathroom's look as if they have never been used. Makes one wonder if it's still being cared for. No mold or mildew. Do you know how long it's supposed to be abandoned for! Love it!❤
