Very atmospheric narrative brought to life with great photography. This makes watching the presentation most enjoyable. Marks ability to hold the suspense in the story creates a very nice watchable video.

I heard about the battle but didn't know about the stone. Very cool. I'm sure I also read somewhere that Sir Walter Scott tried to buy Darnick tower but couldn't, so he settled for building his own house at Abbotsford.
