I have an old and sensitive soul that often doesn’t fit into the world I live in. I often hide it. Watching your videos I feel like I can breathe and be myself. I hope to carry it in my heart.
Miss Sarah, There are many of us sensitive, old souls out here! Aren't we fortunate to have found such a cultivated and fine man to introduce us to these elegant homes and gardens?🌺🌺🌺 Take care. Barbara
Why...hide it.???.. We just enjoy living @ a..much slower pace than the others scurrying around us... Perhaps we will outlive all of them and return... Heaven to Earth...lol ✌️💜😎❤️👍
Your Channel is exactly what I was looking for. It’s nice to see other people my age enjoying things that are mostly considered old fashion but that are so charming and refined !!! 🎀 kisses from France 🇫🇷
@@NicolasFairford In the 1930's North Berwick was an Edinburgh high society retreat. Those huge stone built houses near the Marine hotel held many a weekend party. My father was able to mix with many different levels of people, and was friends with a family who owned a house there and used to get invited along. In that era only the very rich owned cars and they would race down to North Berwick from Edinburgh for the weekend.
I think our generation will get back to all of this, once we get sufficiently tired of the 'bling' and the 'contemporary' techy postinudstrial, ethnic zeitgeist... he's just ahead of the curve
This brought my wife and I to tears... It is truly stunning. You have lived a lavish life in comparison to most. We can only dream of staying in such beauty.
Disliking this video is legitimately a crime... the content is a dose of elegance beauty class and everything between that we all need in our lives... thank you Nicolas
I totally agree. Miserable people should keep their opinions to themselves OR don’t bother watching. God’s abundance is for everyone. There is Joy in sharing human experiences.
I‘m going through a lot right now (exams, stress etc) and i just wanted to tell you that your videos are so so interesting and calming- i love it! They make me forget all of that stress for a while! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Nicolas - your videos make me yearn for days when there was a certain amount of elegance and decorum. There is such a soft spot in my heart for beautiful dinnerware, elegant tea cups and teapots. We have lost so much in the sense that no one dresses for family gatherings, church attendance, etc. We have all fallen victim to casual attire in the form of jeans and boots and it takes the "special" out of our activities. Thank you for filling my heart and mind with things of beauty - which bring about such a special joy for occasions to be celebrated. I hope you continue to spread the joy found in beautiful things and the warmth and charm of beautifully decorated living spaces.
You're a wonderful ambassador for Scotland. Thank you for sharing such lovely and beautiful scenes that you hold very dear to you. How wonderful that you had the chance to spend a number of years at such a lovely location and make it your home.
Absolutely fantastic Nicolas! What I see in you that makes you more special is that you live the essence of your soul deeply, and you are not carried away by the vulgarity of today. I really admire your work and your person! Beijos from Brazil
You have a talent for making a home. No matter where you live, comfort and elegance will always be features. Enjoyed your photos of your former home and gatherings. Those walks are fabulous. Heaven for man and dog.
I am feeling a little down today, and thinking about what i could do to lift my spirits, my first thought was to watch your beautiful videos to take me out of the doldrums and stress of this time. Thank you for creating a space for healing of the soul.
This is gorgeous! I’ve always had a spot in my heart for Scotland. I’m from Canada, but my ancestors were forced out of Scotland to work in Canada to pay off a debt. It’s always been my dream to be able to possibly move back, the scenery is just so beautiful 😍
THIS WAS EPIC for me. Having never been to the UK or Europe this was an absoute pleasure! Scotland is somewhere I will go before the end of my days. What a beautiful place you lived in. It's truly like living in storybook setting. Thank you so very much for showing this today!! What a treat!! ♡
Beautiful, thank you for taking the time to take us back in time. Sophie looks rift at home again. May your dream of building a home of your dreams come true and manifest soonest
Dear Nicolas, Thank you so much for this video. I came home from a rough day at work. I work in a hospital . This made my day the apartment was Beautiful!! Just Beautiful.
Oh my, what a beautiful apartment, what made you leave Nicolas? After saying that though, I still love your present home, you just have the talent to make anywhere beautiful. Have a lovely weekend yourself.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video. I can absolutely see why you loved being there. The scenery looks so nourishing with it's sounds of the ocean, the terrain and the gentle breezes. The interior was a luxurious dream come true! How nice for you to have experienced that for a few very special years! I'm sure your present journey will be just as rewarding filled with new discoveries and a happy life. Can't wait to see what's next. Love your channel!
beyond lovely, Nicolas! As we are all well aware, the UK is the 'birthplace of the highly civilized,' Nicolas being an example of that... I'm American (thank you) and have ancestors from the UK--which explains my ghastly good taste and appreciation of beauty! Loved this tour!
What a joy. Why did you leave this wonderful home? By the way, who are the numpties who have left a dislike? What could anyone possibly dislike about this lovely young chap? He has made lockdown bearable!
Nicholas, this is amazing. That apartment was ridiculous… And you know that in the US, that means amazing! I also think you look just like Gatsby In your light colored suit outside of Greywalls.😍😍😍
Absolutely stunning.... the apartment, Greywalls and the scenery ! Such wonderful views and photographs. Of course it helps that you are such a handsome, well presented young man! Your parents don't look old enough to have a 'child' who is 31 😁! Stay safe ! X
Nicolas... You have a natural gift that very few have or ever acquire. We're amazed at how beautifully everything flows together, yet still stands on its own.
Your old home and the surrounding scenery are stunning. I also love how you always present your videos with such elegance and grace. Watching your videos is the best way to wind down. ❤
Nicolas, viewing this video ist breathtaking. So much beauty so well composed by you. The landscape, the house, furniture, interior decoration , flowers, china, paintings, garden - everything is perfectly put together. You have not only a great talent for designing but for filming as well. Thank you for making so many people happy with this video .
Heavenly! What an amazing experience to have lived in such a place. It fills the soul and warms the heart; what a blessing for you and all who have the chance to live there.
I lived in London for few years but now I'm returned to my country. But when I accidentally found your channel, immediately its bring me back to the UK. I love your style your tips and advices including your free master class ! I and now I'm about to decorate my first house I own and your style definitely gives massive influences in my interior house design. I love the vintage and cozy vibes in every videos of yours. Thanks so much for all your videos. I really love your channel and I'm so glad I found your channel!
Nicholas, thank you for taking us on a tour of the special places in Scotland. I was almost in tears seeing the beautiful vistas and gorgeous rooms! I very much enjoyed seeing your video. Wishing you very well.
Greetings from South Carolina USA! I am thrilled that I found your channel, Nicolas. You are the epitome of grace, intelligence and warmth. The world is a better place because of your presence. Thank you for sharing all that you do with us. xoxo
Nicolas, I want to thank you for bringing peace and beauty in the midst of this global pandemic. You help comfort & soothe our hearts & minds. You brighten up our lives. Thank you 🙏🌹🥰
Dear Nicolas, once again, thank you for this lovely gift...the beautiful scenery, your soothing voice, and of course, precious Sophie🥰. Exactly what I needed to see, to hear...💖🙏🏼. To those who gave this video a thumbs down, My heart goes out to you. And I send you a hug...because your spirit is in need of a hug!😊🤗🌞🌻
Beautiful tour of North Berwick, thank you! My grandparents lived around the North Berwick area before they immigrated to Canada. Now here I am in Montana enjoying your views in Scotland!
If the introduction was shot this month, you were very lucky with the weather. It’s not usually like this in North Berwick in February! North Berwick has a great history. It was famous in the 1500s for its witch trials and burnings. It’s now famous for its house prices which, along with St Andrews and Troon, are amongst the highest in Scotland for a seaside golfing town.
Dearest Nicolas the joy that your videos bring me ( and all of your subscribers) your beautiful softly spoken words ,your stunning eye to detail. Unfortunately I have terminal cancer a baby and four French bulldogs and we all love watching you .You provide relaxation and such an escape from modern stresses and strains.Sending you all our love beautiful boy God Bless you xxx
What a marvelous tour. Comfortable, peaceful and enchanting. Nicolas, you should write about your experiences with the stunning photos you provide. Purely delightful.
Nicholas, you have a beautiful speaking voice. Did you take elocution classes. So soothing and articulate! I could listen to you for hours. What a gift you have. The videos are food for the senses. Never change your lovely essence.🎈
Such a delightful video of a splendid home, grounds and seascape. As an American, I am so impressed by the magnificent older country homes of England and Scotland, the exquisite detail of the interiors and incredible features of structure. Thank you for sharing this lovely home and Greywalls.
Beautiful ! it looks like a painting, I'd love to sit in the library have tea and get lost in a book or have a walk in the garden. Thank you for sharing. ☕
Nicholas, truly stunning in every way. I love your videos! they are so peaceful, beautiful, and make me smile. Today is my birthday and I had a miserable day. I haven’t seen my granddaughter who is 3 now in 16 months or the rest of my family and you made my day. Thank you! ❤️
I live in the USA BUT I was born in Ayrshire Scotland and views that you are showing on here were the kind of views we could spend a Sunday afternoon touring. I am very homesick watching this video, thanks for posting it.❤
Wow that was so insightful !! When you've talked of where you lived I would not have imagined how glameroys it was and totally understand where you have gleaned so much as to be able to share so much with us of the finer things of life xxx thanks
Oh Nicholas...the beauty of those surroundings brought me to tears. How blessed you were to have lived there. This would be my vision of Heaven. Thank you for taking us there. I shall view this many times when I need to soothe my soul.
It's so lovely that you can go back and reminisce about the past, I admire that because I can't go back to my past, even though all the places I have lived brought me joy and a life I never regret having lived, I just can't go back, I can only move forward. It might be just me, but I always advise everyone I know to never go back, because it's not our place anymore and its to be remembered as we knew it, not as it is in the present. I once lived in a house by the sea and my memories of my precious cottage are so intensely beautiful it makes me get a lump in my throat & I shed a few tears remembering how much I loved that little cottage all while watching your video. We're all such complicated creatures,. Thank you for sharing this lovely memory. Love & Hugs, Meme
This is one of my favorite of you videos, Nicholas. Thank you so much. It just wonderful seeing the homes and learning the history associated with each home. Do more!
Dear Nicolas, another absolutely beautiful video. Thank you so much for all the beauty you provide with your content. I feel connected with Meme Davis and Denis Aydin in that I found this so very poignant. The hotel is lovely, and you home was obviously a place of love and family gatherings. Dear little Sophie was obviously delighted to back there, enjoying her familiar walks with you.
You lived in a beautiful place!!! How magnificent. I am glad you had so much appreciation for your time there. Thanks for showing us such a breathtaking views. Your dog is so sweet!!
Pure escapism, thank you Nicolas! Have a wonderful weekend your self. You should be sponsored by the Scottish tourism board, you have certainly sold me on it!😍💕
Stunning views and elegant interiors. A fabulous time period that can never be recreated. Thank you for taking us on this trip. Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever been to. I really needed this gentle reminder today that life is as beautiful as you make it. Thank you Nicolas!
Life is as beautiful as you make it. Thank you for that gentle reminder. I think I'll embroider that on a sampler to remind me to do all the little things to make my life beautiful, to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Thank you so much for saying that...and to you, Nicolas, for demonstrating how lovely life can be.
I can't believe you got to live in a place like that at such a young age. That wasn't an appartment, it was a mansion within a mansion. Wow. And then to have all that green space, beach, and water right there. Heaven.
I had such a stressful time for a past couple of month and I am so glad to find your videos on RU-vid. They are full of peace, warmth and intelligence. Thank you for your great work
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and happy memories with us. What an amazing opportunity to live in such a splendid home with even more splendidl land and seascapes. Divine!
That apartment is absolutely stunning. What a dream home! Also, I didn’t know how beautiful the beaches were in Scotland. Thank you for this lovely little escape.
I just discovered your channel and I love it! I’ve never been to the U.K., but I want to go so bad. Your life seems so magical and your voice is so calming and serene. What a gorgeous and stately home. And the views are spectacular. You’ve even inspired me to try hosting an afternoon tea party even if it’s just with my immediate family. ❤️
I can think of no better view than the sea and gardens. I have a favorite apartment that I lived in. Sadly, the building was sold and the new owner modernized it, destroying all it's charm and beauty. Thankfully, I have pictures of my years there. This is such a beautiful video. Thanks so much for sharing.
