William Wallace’s Cave at Roslin Glen & Hawthornden castle  

Thanks. I would never be able to traverse that path.

Thanks for the very interesting video! 🇺🇸👍

Thank you very much sir 👏🇩🇰

That was great, thanks.

Amazing !!!

Many many years ago I attended Hawthornden primary School. In nearby Bonnyrigg.

That cave is amazing!😁☺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇮

I live in Penicuik not far away been up and down the glen countless times never knew it was there

Wow! now I've definitely got to see more of that Hawthornden Castle!! 👍

I'm just a Brtisih Mutt with just 1/8th Scots included, but I just love to follow these stories of rebellion & fierce battles - totally understand why you have to stand up for your lands else the powerful will happily remove you from them - it's the story of everywhere really. The scots have always seemed to me to be among the most proud of their ancient heritage ! Thank you for this great video, and a little glimpse into a piece of Scots history, that cave is amazing, how many different groups have spent time in there over thousands of years I wonder - has there been any archaeology done in that cave - Pictish symbols tell the story of one group right there as evidence - wonderful !

that fella youre with is a fast strong walker!!!! thoroughly enjoyed it! esp in the snow!!!

Terrific video. I spent a month as a writer in residence at this magnificent castle in September 2001 (the month the Twin Towers in New York were attacked. The castle and the surrounding area have a fascinating history and there are many interesting and beautiful walks. Deer, foxes and, of course, rabbits are commonly spotted. Oddly this area doesn’t attract many tourists but it is really worth visiting.

Thank you for sharing my ancestors history. I definitely would love to sit down and have a chat to know more history on the crawford family:)

30 years ago there was a large tree across the river you could use as a bridge and it was an easy scramble up to the cave. there are a few caves under Hawthornden castle that are barred off with iron bars. idk if you were low enough to see them

nice

This was wonderful! Another reason I'm glad you're going to be my guide next trip.

Nice to see the cave free of graffiti and litter. I have many memories as a kid exploring the area where I grew up.

Great watch it was Gentlemen, thanks & best wishes as you move forwards. Regards from East Dunbartonshire.

I just loved it... so amazing video full of history and breathtaking places.... thank you Stephen for sharing this and give us the opportunity to see and learn about your beautiful city and country. I am looking forward to see more and more!!!

AMAZING THANK YOU ******

I really enjoyed that. I'm glad you showed me Wallace's Cave. I had intended on visiting it this year but after seeing that I'm not going to as i really don't like heights and steep slopes. It looks like a very interesting place, so thanks again.

Brilliant video and thanks for sharing.

WOW! Thanks so much for this brilliant video and the history that goes with it. I love these little shares of our history.

Absolutely spectacular Stephen. Thanks for sharing. Jim

What an amazing tour! Thank you Stephen for all of these fabulous tours. Wallace Cave was amazing as was Hawthornden Castle. Ian’s shadow puppets were funny but to coffee cake I’m not so sure of 😂😂

Brilliant funny interesting , love kindness truth freedom wisdom peace

Spent a few cold drunken nights in that cave with friends during a misspent youth. It's only 10 mins up the road from me. Hawthornden Castle is an interesting building for sure as well. Great video well done

Fantastic video! Funny some of the landscape reminds me of the countryside where I ride my horses in Tennessee! A few of those narrow ridges will leave you white knuckled when you’re on a horse! Ha ha. I absolutely loved the adventure into the cave. Fantastic!

Thanks for sharing. I know I'm never going to be brave enough to go there myself lol. Great video.

Looove it🥰

Don't think Wallace was in there, it's a ice house, that side of the Glen was a foley, the garden have lots of walk ways you can still see in the winter, most of the markings were made as part of the gardens mystery. There is larger caverns under Hawthornden Castle, one was used as a pistol range.

It's amazing Wallace done any fighting, he seems to be hiding in caves all over the Scotland.

Fantastic video Stephen.Have you heard about the Wallaces cave in Lanark which was built 552 years after William Wallace died in 1305 the book Mentions GEORGE ROSS AND Lady Mary ROSS who had Bonnington house.probably made for tourists.MR ROSS watched the CAVE BEING BUILT THE SAME TIME A SWING BRIDGE WAS BEING BUILT 1857...BOOK..

I live in Rosewell and would love to visit Wallace's Cave and Hawthornden Castle but I don't know if the arthritic knees would cope and I wouldn't risk going on my own. Do you ever organise tours to the cave?

Nice vid mate, never heard of this place before, feel a bit conned by being clickbaited on this vid and seeing a not that fat guy and no kilt!.... I was expecting somebody like "Fat B" out of Austin Powers ;-) I reckon you could make a funny wee no context "Short" of yer pal eating his coffee cake)

Are you going to make more videos?

That carving is neither pictish or neolithic its 20th century.

Is that a coin no it's crap
