Exploring Scotland's SMALLEST region - The Clackmannanshire Tower Trail! 

It's good to hear you keeping your History alive, fantastic buildings, just love the stone man. Thanks for taking us on a great tour. 👍

At the Windy Edge viewpoint there used to be a bridge called Glencairn Bridge, which took you over the burn of Sorrow, and onto Windy Edge Pass, which followed the burn of Sorrow on the north side down to another bridge called the Long Bridge, which, as the name suggests, was very long, and took you to the confluence of the Burn of Sorrow and the Burn of care, from there the path joined the path which comes down from the castle via the burn of Care. The burn now becomes the Dollar Burn, and the path goes down to the mMill Green & Dollar. The path to the Castle via the Dollar Burn & the Burn of care is closed at the moment to to a broken bridge, but thye long Bridge, and the Glencairn bridge were removed in the 80s, or 90s because they were unsafe, and they were nevger rebuilt. Its a pity, as it was the most dramatic route to the castle, and also gave access to the famo8us Kemp's Score which funs almost vertically from the Windy Edge Pass up to the castle, and used to have steps. Sir Walter Scott climbed it in the early 19th century, and it is believged to have been used by the castle garrison in times ofr seige to supply the castle with water.

I love going on virtual road trips with you and Molly...so many interesting stories and spectacular views. You have good strong knees my friend! Can't wait to see where we go next.

Molly is amazing! Not a grey hair to be seen. It must be the clean country living 😊

Fantastic like normal thanks for yours and mollys hard work again 🤠

This is a great video! Lots of information and very enjoyable!

Thanks for the great video and history lesson.

Wonderful job! I love all the history you give, and Molly is such a sweet girl❤️

Really did enjoy this, love your story telling and accent, Clackmannanshire is impressive! So cool to see the trail, thank you so very much for your excellent video!!

23:12 beautiful views and wonderful stories/history! I bet Molly was ready for a nap 😊

Graeme, great job, love it! Keep at it and you will definitely get more subscribers! I wish I had your voice for my Scotland videos. Love Molly too!

Love that you had Molly in shot when describing the beautiful Pictish princess 😍 You did make me giggle when you said about the 1* review though 😂 There's a megalithic Dolman near me and some eejit left a 1* star stating - "It's a big rock, like" 😂😂😂What was he expecting? The Great Pyramid? 😂

Molly says: Come on Graeme, come on. She really had fun on this trip. Thank you for taking us into this wonderfully diverse nature. Beautiful old castles. A little dream.

Always wanted to go to Scotland, live in USA, this was beautiful, thank you for this trip.

I am sure you get many from U.S. saying I am a Campbell. One Archibald in the 1830's went to Ireland then to Canada and Down to america. I am very proud of my Scottish heritage. I look at most sites that talk about Scotts and Campbells. Sad to say I haven't found many. Your site has history, songs, folklore. I just started and I have quite a few stories I am going to enjoy. THANKS.

The building at the bottom of the Dollar Glen wasn't an ice house, it was part of the 19th century system that supplied Dollar with drinking water from the Glen, and used up until the time that Dollar was connected to the mains system

Should you ever wish to see inside our wee commemorative room please feel free to get in touch

thanks again - another really informative and well done video= when I am in Stirling end of April will definitely go check this out-- you are so knowledgeable as well with the history- and great speaking voce by the way ! and PS--Smitten with Molly - labs rule :)

In Menstrie castle there is a commemorative room based around the life of Sir William Alexander and the Nova Scotia Baronetcies

Great history lesson. Love it ❤. Such beautiful places.

I've driven the Clackmannan Tower Trail, and seen all of the castles. I want to stay in the holiday lets in Menstrie Castle. I think that Sauchie Tower is going to be open on an open day later this year.

Oh, this is so reminiscent of Tennessee and Kentucky in the USA! Both places are beautiful!

thank you how many people have hidden in that gorge
