As someone who is hyper-sensitive to the pitch, pacing and timbre of narrative voices, online, I am delighted to listen to the clear articulation and beautiful voice of this narrator. Thank you.

Could you imagine what this Castle would have look like before it was sacked. The filming was first class and the narration in a Scottish accent made even better, One more place to visit

Thank you for this fine production. It is all first-rate, but especially the photography. Maybe the best part is the comfortable pace at which the story is told.

What a beautiful well narrated tale of an important part of Scotland's national history, thank you, and the photography was immense (how did you get a dry sunny day?), my thanks to you all and we will be visiting Dunnottar as soon as we can, again very well done for a magnificent production, we look forward to more.

Dunnottar castle was a surprise to me visually and historically . The filming and narration were first class . The importance in history of the castle became obvious and the story of British crown became clearer to me .... a fairly well educated Welshman ! Well done and I promise to inform others of your channel . I will subscribe .

I’m lucky enough to have grown up in Stonehaven, It was fascinating to learn some of the rich history right on my doorstep. If you’re ever taking a walk up to the castle, look out for the 2 tombstones embedded in the wall of some victims of the plague I think they are dated circa 1603 (if my memory serves me correctly) they are very hard to read but you can make out a few bits and pieces

This was very well done and very much enjoyed, thank you!

Great documentary on Stonehaven and Dunnoter. I moved to Stonehaven 5 years ago and still walk past Dunnoter Castle in wonderment. Hopefully the new plans to add a visitor centre and housing nearby don't detract from its raw beauty.

Thank you.

I have a forebear born May 1771 at Fetteresso just outside of Stonehaven.

Occupation, sailor, keeper of Dunnottar Castle and Feuar.

From his

Obituary - Aberdeen Herald; many years keeper of Dunnottar Castle, and was much
appreciated for his admirably graphic and interesting description of that ancient ruin".
Bards of Bon-Accord mentions that John was employed on famous smacks
that sailed from Aberdeen - London.
Came into Aberdeen about 1814 when he was 43. He probably had been a sailor
before becoming keeper at Dunnottar.

Thank you again for a beautiful presentation

My mum was a Keith, but we never knew the old history until I discovered it in my Ancestry research, which traces back to Dunnottar .How I wish she could have lived to know this history of her father's ancestors.❤
