Craufurdland is a castle in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire dating back over eight centuries. It's been home to the Craufurd family since 1245, but constant maintenance of the fragile property has become a huge financial drain. Having rented it out for the last few years, Simon Craufurd and his wife Adity have just moved in, hoping to reclaim the family home for them and their children. But with only enough money to sustain them for six months, they must quickly make it earn its keep. Simon Davis is keen to discover a way of sharing the castle's fascinating and important history with a public, who have no idea that it exists. Can he convince the Craufurds to support his business plan?
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

Filming on this started in 2011. A quick google search shows the castle, and this couple, are still going strong in 2023.

The fact that hidden away in the castles records was a handwritten original Robert Burns poem is just astonishing. And I love the couple, this Laird didn't grow up with a huge privilege besides his title and it allows for them to understand that they are trying to save his family home, his family history and make something for his children makes them amazing

They should have shown the poem after dinner, in the library on a red velvet support like a treasure that it is and like the late Queen used to show her treasures to guests. That would have given panache to the presentation.. It is sad they didn't bring it a real historian to create a real museum. The historic connection is tremendous.

The family should give out colored metals for first place, second, and third for everyone else who participated. We loved to go to the walks in Germany at the end we would get a bronze medal for finishing. The metal would have the town's name and a raised picture of a famous image of where the run was held. We went all the time to collect the metals. It was Great fun.

This was back in 2011 they have gone from strength to strength and I am pleased for them. As a Bibliophile the Library was fantastic as was the Burns discovery. I am still in favour of dissolving the Union as I am an English Constitutionalist and would like to see us have our own English Parliament and let the Scots and Welsh have their own autonomy. Scotland would end up Like the Republic of Ireland they would be ruled by EU tyrants and would be worse off in the long term.

I'm not a fan of this 'commercial capital breathes new life into sickly landed estate' genre of docos. Money has always married the aristocracy for status and breeding it genuinely lacked. I don't think its right to paint to paint businesspeople as the capable saviors of hapless feudals. Even if they pay for the docos. A problem with the popularization of history, is capital's ownership of mass media. The aristocracy has a better hold over universities, and can keep its messages free from 'sponsors advertisements', and ideological overtures to the monied interests.

I'm fairly certain none of us knows her family history. The possibilities are endless. For all we know, her family could have been from the Brahman class, or even from further up the food chain from the Princely class. In which case, the British would have been cleaning their toilets. Colonizer... FFFTTTT. That sounds like Untouchable unhappiness/reverse-bigotry. And having done Simon's Y-DNA analysis many years ago I know his Y-DNA is not Craufurd or Crawford. He is a Houieson-Craufurd with MoodyMoodie Y-DNA. His paternal line surname changed about 200 years ago with a marriage to the female heir of the Craufurd family. The inheritance was litigated in probate and that is the way it ended up by court decree changing from Moody to Houieson-Craufurd to maintain a connection to the traditional name of the estate. I suppose he could have a few strands of autosomal Craufurd DNA through the female heiress, but that was 5-6 generations ago, so it could be quite diluted by now. Footnote: I haven't yet watched the entire video, but Simon has an older brother and sister.
