Thank you so much - that’s really kind of you and much appreciated. Making them by myself is always quite a challenge, so I really appreciate it 🙏 It really is a wonderful city and I hope to be back soon. Best wishes & thanks, David 🙂

Thanks so much for watching Kath, it's much appreciated. It's a lovely place and the gardens are just wonderful. Best wishes, David :-)

Hi Kara, thanks so much - hope you're both doing well. Really glad you liked this one. I visited while I was filming in Glen Affric and I'm really glad I did. It had a real atmosphere and the story of the 4000 year old shadow was just amazing! Hope you have a lovely weekend and I hope to be back with a city guide to Dunfermline soon. All the best, David :-)

Thanks so much Carla, really appreciate you watching. Stirling is a great city to visit and I hope you can visit soon. Best wishes, David 😊

Hi, thanks for the question. I've always known it being the Scots word for a shawl, but doing an internet search wikipedia says "is an Old German name meaning "powerful battler"" which is really interesting. Perhaps there might be something in that to research? All the best, David :-)

@@DavidWheaterScotland Thanks so much for your response. Yes, my understanding was that was a gray plaid shawl formerly worn by southern Scottish shepherds. I'd yet to come across the "powerful battler" reference but will definitely chase that up in the hopes of finding a connection. Thanks so much again for your response. I definitely wanted to ask a Scotsman.

Thanks so much Harry, you’re always so kind and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It’s an extraordinary place. Have a lovely weekend and I hope to be back with another video soon. All the best, David 😄

Hi Janet, they’re just adorable aren’t they. It was so lovely to see. Thanks for watching & have a lovely week 🙂

Thanks so much Maxine, so glad you enjoyed it. It had an amazing atmosphere and I’m glad I visited. Have a lovely week. All the best, David 🙂

Hi Annie, thanks so much for watching. The 4,000 year old shadow is quite incredible isn’t it. When I crawled through to the chamber there was definitely a feeling and an atmosphere. We’re so lucky these incredible places are still here. Have a lovely week, all the best, David 🙂

@@DavidWheaterScotland My pleasure as always David! Aye! "Tis true! That was quite spine chilling seeing the Image of the lady's "Shadow. So I can imagine what it felt like being right inside the chamber. Quite hair raising I'm sure! You're a 'better man' indeed 'Gunga Din'. Oh my! Thanks again for sharing David! Have a peaceful night! Blessings! 🎑🌠

awww… thanks so much Alan, that’s so kind of you and much appreciated.

All the best, David 🙂

@@SCOTTISH-ACE Thanks Alan - really appreciate it 🙏

Thanks for watching. You’ll enjoy Leith. It has bags of character, great history and loads of wonderful places to eat. The weather here can be very unpredictable. It can be much milder in December than people imagine, but as long as the sun’s out it’ll be fab👍 Best wishes, David 🙂

Looking forward to seeing you too :-) Have a wonderful time - the weather is looking good!

Thank you! Yes, that's Scotland for you - the weather is truly unpredictable! Thanks so much for watching, best wishes, David :-)

awww... thanks Annie, that's so kind of you and much appreciated. I was so lucky to visit on such a beautiful summer's evening. It really was joyful. So glad you like the Sunshine on Leith song - it's a real belter! The Proclaimers are such Scottish icons and it's nice to be able to include some of their music. Hope to have a few more videos out soon. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment - you're a star! Warmest best wishes & thanks, David :-)

@@DavidWheaterScotland ❤

awww.. thanks so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It makes all the hours of filming worthwhile 🙂 It’s always really difficult to get across the beauty & serenity of places like this, so I’m glad you found it peaceful. Warmest best wishes & thanks, David

Hi Harry, hope you’re well and I’m so glad you enjoyed this one. It’s a really magical place and I hope to have another one out soon. Thanks, as always, for watching & have a lovely weekend. All the best, David 🙂

Thanks Alan, so glad you liked it. It’s such a magical spot and funnily enough I did plan to fish, but just ran out of time. I’m hoping to do a fishing video sometime this summer, which I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while. Hope to have another video out soon and thanks, as always, for watching. All the best, David 🙂

Hi Janet, so happy you enjoyed it - it’s a really wonderful part of the country and very hard to do it justice on film. I’m hoping to go back in the Autumn and take a little more time to explore & relax. Should have another video out soon and, hopefully, one of my city guides (for Dunfermline) sometime in early August. Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment - I always deeply appreciate it. All the best, David 🙂

Thanks so much Clive, always deeply appreciate you watching and your very kind words. Really hope you’re doing ok and I should have another one out soon. Take really good care of yourself and have a lovely weekend. All the best, David 🙂

@@DavidWheaterScotland Evening David, doing ok after a large wobble which Not even the medics saw coming so…put me back a few weeks. Am walking again albeit not very far. Being home and able to do things at my pace is so much easier, even with regular visits to hospital. Am determined to get back to Edinburgh somehow, so as soon as I can travel, even if its by camel, will be in touch. It would be nice to meet and thank one of the nice souls who have kept me going. Keep safe and well. C

Hi Clive, I’m so sorry you’ve been having such a tough time. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot and I wish you a very speedy recovery. Take really good care of yourself and I very much look forward to meeting you when you’re here - the cakes are on me! Take things gently and I’ll have a few more videos out soon which I hope you’ll enjoy too. All the best, David 🙂

David can You please tell me the name of this wonderful music?Who sings that?

@rosita5740 Hi Rosita, I’m out just now in Dunfermline, but I’ll send you the singers/songs when I get in. I think the main song was Bridge of Tears by the amazing Clannad. 👌

Hi Rosita, the other two songs are - Love & Honour & Siúil A Rúin' by Celtic Woman :-) best wishes, David

@@DavidWheaterScotland Thank You David !,have a nice day

Hi Mike, hope you’re well and really glad you enjoyed it, especially the music. It’s always incredibly difficult to choose tracks (takes me ages!), but I think it’s worth the time. I’ve a few more videos in the pipeline which I hope you’ll enjoy too. Have a lovely weekend, best wishes, David 🙂

Awww… thanks so much Annie, that’s so nice of you and hugely appreciated 🙏 It takes me a long time to put these together, so to know you enjoy them, makes it all worthwhile. I’ve another two from Glen Affric coming out soon, one from Loch Morlich and a guide to Dunfermline, which I’ve been working on for ages! Thanks for all your support & encouragement. All the best, David 🙂

@@DavidWheaterScotland My pleasure David! I will look forward to your next videos. Especially the one of Loch Morlich. I saw some footage for the first time of this beautiful Loch just recently & I was so thrilled by it. Thank you for taking the time to film & produce these wonderful videos & for sharing them with us. Have a lovely day! Blessings! 🌞

@@DavidWheaterScotland Had planned to come up in September but….. on hold until the witch doctors give me the all clear to travel. Am determined to get to Edinburgh so that keeps me going. Can’t wait to get back to the old haunts and stroll down memory lane. Keep safe and well. C.
