    Myths and legends, the world would be a dull place without them And the English excel on that score. The presence of so many ruins is a goldmine for stories of old. Just love them. Love castles, mansions, estates all dating back so far one can't count the years. Some of the frames if frozen make ideal painting subjects to adorn walls in galeries and homes. Lovely video. Thanks for the privilege of having this peek into another classic time. 🌷 🙏 🙋‍♀️

    Looks like a really interesting church. Theirs a kirk (Church of Scotland) in the village that I grew up in, which is built on the site of the chapel that served the village, before the Reformation.
