Search for the REAL Sir WILLIAM WALLACE! A 900 + year old castle in Perthshire, Scotland! 

This video is breathtaking, John. Scotland is gorgeous and I love how you shot and narrated this one. What a spectacular, historical place.

Just in case anyone has missed it, when he is talking about how beautiful Scotland is at 8:54, as he pans around a fish jumps out of the water. Perfect timing.

Being in the U.S.A, it's just amazing how much history there is over there. Thank you for showing us and the history lesson.

Oh John…..that was amazing, incredible and breathtakingly beautiful! I literally had goosebumps the whole time you were recounting the history of the castle and surroundings. Your country is Absolutely Gorgeous! A lot of my maternal relatives, back a few generations, came here to Ontario Canada to settle and grow a new life. That must be why I feel so comfortable and happy when I watch your shows! I’d love to go there to absorb and enjoy the history and beauty Of Scotland. Thanks again for what you do.

John, thank you taking us on this tour of a spectacular Scottish countryside and the historic Kinclaven Castle in Perthshire. How sad that this castle did not survive its storied past. I’m always in awe of the beauty of Scotland and its rich and long history. Thank you for this amazing virtual tour. You do a wonderful job explaining the history.

Absolutely speechless. Spirits haunting that place over so many centuries. To be able to travel back in time and to see this would be a dream. Thankyou.

I can absolutely imagine taking that beautiful trek through the woods and coming upon the castle hiding from today's ills! I would love to have a picnic inside its walls and drink a toast to the spirits of all of those that called it home!

Alright John I adore that fact that William Wallace and king Robert the Bruce fought at loudon hill in Darvel.. .legends

It is gorgeous. If the water had not been moving the views could have been a masterful landscape painting. So quiet you can hear whispers of the past. So much history happened on this very site. Is the stone used to build it local? It must have been well built for the walls to survive as they have. Great photography on a lovely fall day. Feel like I hiked right beside you. Thank you, John. So looking forward to more of these virtual tours.

Today the castle is a hidden gem in the woods. The history of the many people who possessed this castle is amazing. John , I think you where born in the wrong century because of your love of the history and beauty of Scotland. Fall in Scotland is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for the tour of this amazing place. Anxiously awaiting your next tour!!!

So beautiful! A watercolorists dream! So many colors, so many textures! Thank you for the tour, yes, I very much enjoyed it!!! 🙏

😊 Oh. My. John, you have the Heart of a Poet. Wonderfully done!

Beautiful Perthshire. As you were walking around the castle I could imagine the people in there, almost as if they were fleeting past you. Fascinating history as always. Thank you

What fascinating history, and gorgeous scenery! Wouldn't it be interesting to see (even an ancient) drawing of what this amazing, historic Castle looked like in its Heyday?

Personally, what is blowing me away, is how I connect this place and the people who were there with the coins you find in the fields of Perthshire. Thanks for the tour John. I bet you wish you could time travel and see all the history you know so well in real time. William Wallace sounds like a very angry man, no prisoners or survivors! 😮

Beautiful! I am a Wallace by birth. My ancestry shows I am over 40% Scottish descent.

This is truly amazing to see the remains of the castle still standing after almost a thousand years. I was wondering if there is any way to see a recreation of what the castle originally looked like? Sounds like large groups of people could stay there. It would be interesting to see such things as what the rooms may have looked and everything else.

Absolutely stunning indeed! Your narration brings it to life as always. You are so fortunate to live in such a place. I need to find out why my ancestors left there so long ago. I'm afraid if I (finally) get there i won't want to leave. Fantastic virtual tour!

Thank you I really enjoyed this and learned some things too. One day I would love to come over and see for myself but at soon to be 62 may just be a Dream LOL. So again, thanks for these videos and tours .☺👍👍

Excellent, so much of our history is hidden away in quiet corners and forgotten ruins. Always worth shining a light on what is lurking off the beaten track.

I'm so glad I stumbled onto your videos!! I'm so looking forward to more! You do an amazing job sharing the beauty of the sites, along with the history! I live in Loveland Colorado, USA. I have Scottish ancestry. I have always wanted to go to Scotland. So I definitely am loving your videos!! The beauty and the history is just mind blowing! Please, keep them coming!! Thank you sooooo much again for sharing!!

My cousin did an ancestry search and found out Rob Roy was born in our family's castle.

John... you are a fantastic tour guide! This video was absolutely stunning. Your calming voice and knowledge of history is amazing. I know I have gushed about your tours before, but every word is true! Thank you for taking us on this historic journey in beautiful Perthshire! I'll keep watching!

Good morning, John. Donald Wilson (5th generation Scottish American), here in Tacoma, Washington, on a rather dark Monday morning, November 20. I'm enjoying my morning coffee watching your video on the Mercer Estate and the River Tay. Absolutely beautiful, thank you so very much. It's a perfect way to start my work day. My family, the Wilson's, come from West Lothian, in particular, Fife, Bathgate, and Dunfermline. The other family names are Stirling, Beveridge, and Andrew's. I really appreciate you and the wonderful videos you share. Kindest regards, Donald William Wilson.

Your love of your history is filled with poetry and deep respect and appreciation of the beauty of Scotland's paradigm. The dream that is Scotland. You can feel the legends of honor and character and love of the land. Its a fantasy. A parallel soul dimension.

Loved this so much. My mother in law was a Wallace from Scotland. She moved to Canada as a teen but I did a deep dive on her genealogy. Her mother's family were Grant's and father's family was Hogg from Ross and Cromarty. Such interesting history in Scotland. Mother was named Hogg Wallace. Thank you !

Thank you, John, for the wonderful tour. I can watch and imagine the castle intact as you describe it. There are many wonderful tours you have taken us on, but this one is by far the most interesting, as well as the most beautiful, in my opinion. Will be waiting for the next destination. Cheers from Texas.

You need your own TV 📺 show mate! The Scottish Alice Roberts! Can not get enough of your videos mate👌🏻👏👏👏

Your subscriptions are going up! Congratulations, I enjoy both your channels. 🥰💕❤️👍👍

Wonderful tour John! The history you mind holds is absolutely incredible!! Could listen to you for hours!!!! Well done Sir!!! ❤👍👍👍👍👍👍

Oh, wow. ... just Wowww... Thanks so very much. Shaking my head. Profound. Did I say, 'Thank you, John'? Spectacular. Ab-so-lutely gorgeous, indeed.

You're always so knowledgeable with history, and I love listening to it. Thank you for the lovely tour! 😊 What a stunning place again, especially in its autumn finery! 🍁🍂🍁 It's hard to believe, that a place with such a rich history just lies hidden in the woods, instead of being a tourist magnet. But then again, this way it's much more atmospheric and mysterious. And that beech hedge was *impressive*!

Beautiful John

I really appreciate how you pan the view slowly so I can see the details of the picture. So many people go so fast, it literally makes me dizzy. Thank you for not doing that!

Wow; I'm in total awe of the beauty of the scenery! Excellent footage and narration as well. Thanks so very much for sharing this & making it possible for many to see the breathtaking splendor of your country!

Wonderful stories and views. Made history come alive. THANKYOU!! from Denver, Colorado. USA

Well i know what i will be doing tonight, i will be binge watching this channel i just love history and this channel suits me to a tee.

I’ve always been fascinated by William Wallace, and history surrounding him. Thanks for the video.

One of my husband's ancestors, John McGregor, was from Kinclaven. I love all your videos and the fact you weave history into each one. Keep them coming! As a genealogist, and a Scottish "everything" enthusiast, I watch for them...especially your medal detecting ones.

I loved this! Your photography and commentary is so excellent! Thank you very much!

Scotland is SO beautiful!!!

So beautiful, thank you for sharing. Growing up in Canada all of my Grandparents were from Scotland. Long gone now but dearly missed. Im sure youve heard it a million times but, its so comforting to hear that old familiar accent for so many of us over here.

The natural beauty just leaves me speechless. Add in the historical aspect and I found my Nirvana! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing John. Spectacular bridge over the spectacular river Tay. Beautiful trees and countryside.

Stunning, thank you so much for showing us this, my heart was in my throat as you walked up the road and all those cars were just flying passed you!!! Thank you for being so brave to do that so we can see this but be careful!

Beautiful trees. Gorgeous bridge and river❤️

Absolutely gorgeous. I was completely riveted to the history of this castle. Thanks for the tour and I will definitely be watching again.

I didn’t know of this castle. What an amazing setting for it! Thank you for giving us a tour and the history behind it.

Been part Scottish i spent a lot of my youth and teenage years there but i cant say i have seen anything more beautiful than your video

You are so lucky to live in such a breathtaking part of Scotland, so beautiful and even more so in Autumn 😍 River and the old castle are amazing too see. Thank you so much for the history and the opportunity to see this 🥲

Beautiful Scotland and wonderful history! It just can't get much better than this! You always deliver the best Young Man!

I am so glad that you filmed the beautiful colours of fall in Perthshire, John. It's like looking at a living postcard!

This place is so enormous and beautiful! I have been in various castles in different countries, but none as beautiful as this one. The grounds and area are magnificent. Thank you for the story. Movies always embellish the truth.

Another, brilliant video, keep them coming,

Thank you so much! What a perfect day for a walk.

Just gorgeous. A wonderful tour John, thank you!😊

I worked on a sheep station here in Australia called" Lansdowne"...what beautiful country and amazing history you have..loving your history lessons..please keep them coming...the story of the beech hedge is so sad.

Beautiful! I enjoyed your narrative. History is my thing.

I've dreamed of coming to Scotland all my life. Your videos are providing me with a list of historical sites I want to visit.

My maternal Great-grandparents were Scottish & I grew up with my bff's Scottish parents who migrated to USA in '51 & she was born a year later. I identify myself with my heritage (even played snare drum in a pipe Band) & my children do so as well. I cannot get enough of these wonderful visual archaeological treks ! Looking forward for more of your vlogs!

As someone who grew up in Blairgowrie and was married at Kinclaven Church, about a mile away, I have to say…I had no idea about there being a castle there😂 Thanks for the educational video✊🏻

Oh my, that is a beautiful bridge! I imagine it has been a favorite of many an artist. Lovely river. Nice spot for fishing. I love it there. What a place to live eh! It was wonderful to see that castle. Longshanks is an ancestor as well. Must feel amazing to walk into it. How fun it would be to detect that area. Thanks for another wonderful tour John.

Great job, John. Well worth the watch 👍🏻

Thank you so much for sharing this . I grew up on Lewis so thoroughly enjoyed your trip down memory lane .👌😀🙏

I am fascinated by Sir William Wallace so this was a real treat, John. Quite the trek to get there but so worth it! Also, in America we still use the term “Sally port” mostly for police stations and the private entrance at the back of their precincts.

Thank John for another wonderful video the beauty of Perthshire is stunning I hadn't heard of this castle and it's connection to William Wallace a truly fascinating fact filled story looking forward to the next one.

Thank you John for this beautiful history and scenery.

So beautiful...I came to Scotland for the first time 9 years ago now. Had a great time. So much to see. Promised I would be back someday. This definitely makes me yearn to return now. I was there in the Spring. I love Autumn though and I believe I will return this time during the beginning of Autumn. Lovely video...just came across your channel today. Glad 8 did. Thank you John for giving a grande tour. Many blessings to you and your family. Can't wait to return, very soon.

That was amazing! I noticed on Google maps that it isn’t noted and on Wikipedia it is “unknown “ if it is open to the public. It certainly is an important site! Thanks!

Thank you John. As a New Yorker I’m a lover of all things Scottish. This is a lovely video. I also love your metal finding missions as well. You have a wonderful and perfect accent. Keep up the great work.

The bridge is stunning 😮

Thank you for these wonderful tours and history lessons! 😀

Stunning scenery! That castle ruin is really well hidden away but well worth the visit!

Loved this , we do have a beautiful country don’t we . Your voice is perfect for this , the way you narrate brings it to life so much . Thank you.

Loved every minute of this video, fantastic insight into history and William Wallace. What a beautiful castle it is as well what remains, definitely one I’d love to visit one day

What a wonderful and beautiful virtual excursion!! Thank You so much for your time and expertise in filming, narrating, and editing this sweet masterpiece! Best wishes to you for both of your RU-vid channels! i am a happy subscriber to both :)

I've always been fascinated with Scotlands beauty and history...thank you for the videos....I do plan to visit Scotland one of these days 😊

Amazingly beautiful. I’d love to have seen it it all it’s charm back in the day. Hard to imagine 😮

I have Scottish ancestors on both sides, Andrew is the surname of my Dad's side. My Great grandfather on my Mum's side is from Shetland. I live in New Zealand, Andrew side came here 1842, 2 years after the treaty was signed. I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you.

John ..there’s one thing your a fantastic story teller … I was totally engrossed by your story and knowledge of this fabulous castle ..and the surrounding landscape is beautiful ..even more so with the changing of the season… Autumn with the different shades of browns is a magical time of the year .. me being a English man is so glad I never had the misfortune of meeting the historical William Wallace .. I’m sure he would of had my head for breakfast …🫣 Once again thank you John for sharing this wonderful story and enchanting castle …

Simply stunning. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.

Great stuff. Love this.

My family has been in America since the mid 1800s but this video really brings me back to my heritage. Spent some time in Scotland in 2004 and was hard to leave. I just discovered your channel. SUBSCRIBED!

I thoroughly enjoy your mini travelogues. Keep them coming.

A wonderful trip! Thanks so much!

Blessings, John, tour master extraordinaire. Sally port and Sally forth…who else could so eloquently tell the story that our eyes are so blessed to behold. Your video skills are truly awesome. Blessings, from this old man in northeast Tennessee.

Thanks for this, and all your videos. One day I will get myself to Scotland ❤ Saving my pennies!

Great video mate. Shared it out. Amazing stuff 😮

Amazing story and amazing views. Brilliant

Fantastic ,well done thank you ,more please

This was grand John! Such a beautiful place! Keep taking us to these stunning locations!

Beautiful scenery and an interesting,educational video. What more could you ask for? Thank you for bringing this castle to my attention and I’ll make a point of visiting it when I’m next in the area. 👍

Loved your tour and the history that goes with this site. Can't wait to see more. Thank you!

Really and truly enjoyed watching this John, such amazing history and such a stunning location. Thanks for all your information and research a grand channel 👍🏻

Wow what a place! Such stunning views. I bet some great finds have come up there in the past. Thanks for taking us along.

Looks surprisingly similar to my beautiful home in Virginia, USA. Minus the castle. 😉

That was lovely, thank you❤

Wonderful video, absolutely beautiful country and the history you provide was fascinating. Thank you.

John, just fantastic!! Keep them coming. Does Sir Wallace have a buriel sight? In the movie Robert the Bruce's father conspired to turn the other clan against him, is there any truth to that?

Thankyou for sharing this video with us showing us a fantastic Castle which I would never of known about. The landscape is beautiful and you are very lucky to live in a beautiful part of Scotland yet again thankyou for sharing x
