- WE STAYED IN A SCOTTISH FAIRYTALE CASTLE IN THE HIGHLANDS// Happy Friday, Today we're finally sharing the Scottish Castle where Joerg and I stayed at in the Highlands. Barcaldine Castle is 400 years old and is a luxury Bed & Breakfast with only 6 rooms which makes it a wonderful place to stay. We booked the room 'Caithness' for us which is on the top floor with amazing views towards Loch Creran. A wonderful base to explore the Highlands and a very short drive to Oban. We LOVE how many fairytales castles there are in Scotland!
We also visited Inveraray Castle, home to the Duke of Argyll and we loved it so much. Should you be a huge fan of Downton Abbey, you will recognise this castle straight away as it starred as Duneagle Castle in one of the amazing Christmas specials ('A Journey to the Highlands'). We are so happy we went as we weren't sure if it was too busy but it wasn't at all. We can so recommend it. Kirsten & Joerg

Scotland is absolutely breathtaking. So are the Highlands.
They truly are!
Such a good video... beautiful
Oh yeah. Indeed. I love Scotland and its history, ist culture, the nature, the landscapes, bagpipe music and surely the people in scotland.
Really fabulous what a documentary... It should be on main stream TV... SO PROFESSIONAL... Loved it all.. 👍📺❤️😍
That's so so kind!
This channel is only for people of good taste and i 'm so glad that i was one of them for year and half i remember the beginning was with the video of the cosy pink cottage 😊💟👍👏
Thank you so much Nad!
Ha ha Me too
I absolutely LOVE your channel! One of my biggest dreams is to visit The UK one day. I hope I'll be able to do that soon, but for now I enjoy your lovely videos! Thank you so much Kirsten and Joerg,
Sending a big hug from a little town in South Patagonia, Argentina
Thank you so much, means an awful lot to us!
I just discovered this lovely couple and their vlogs. Since then I've been watching each vlog and simply loving each one.
Most beautiful video…Inveraray Castle is stunning…loved the William Morris wallpaper,the china display…what a wonderful place to film…turret room in the accommodation castle was charming, drone footage amazing,it is nice to see the food displayed in the dining areas ..all look so yummy & inviting 💗🙂
The Scottish castle is absolutely beautiful. The highlands are spectacular. Stunning.
Oh, that was glorious! The castles, the landscape, the interiors, the almost preternatural quiet. I happen to be going through a difficult time and your video calmed me and brought me so much joy.
Take care of yourself.
Inveraray castle is so pretty with delicate colours and very feminine decor(apart from the armoury of course).
This was such a lovely video! I loved everything about it!
Thanks so much!
Joerg your filming 🎥is excellant
Lovely and just magical just like the two ofyou! Thank you for sharing and taking us along!
Thanks so much!
@@KirstenJoerg You are most welcome! I'm Scottish so that whisky sounds divine right about now!
Wow! The Scottish Castle is so beautiful! Wish I was there! Thank you for sharing 🤗💖🤗💖🌸🏰🌸💙
So glad you like it Kathlina!
Haven’t commented in a while but just wanted to say that I watch every one of your videos and they are always fabulous . Oh how I enjoyed this, makes me long to see Scotland again. Hoping you run into Lord Grantham in the next video😉 Thank you so so much for everything you do. I truly appreciate it😊 Lyddie
I agree...each vlog is amazing. I hope to visit Scotland on my next trip to UK.
Perfect - and I recognised the “Downton Scenes”👌. Love your narratives and humour, too - thank you🥰
Thanks so much!
You captured Scotland perfectly, the scenery the music just wonderful. And Kirsten your pronunciation is fine .
And thd weathet😀😂
Love, love the music through out the filming. Everything is just absolutely beautiful.
Hello Kirsten and Joerg well I'm lost for words with this one ! Absolutely stunning scenery and what a beautiful place to stay , I loved it . The drone filming was really amazing Joerg is very good at it . I don't want to go over the top here but your filming is brilliant and your choice of music was so fitting for Scotland ...well done . Joerg makes me laugh so much , he is so funny . He is always ready for a nibble of something to eat and a drop of drink . I love the idea that you do some walking then you can eat cake !! Why did I not think of that ? Perhaps I could just have a walk around the block then eat more cake 😂😂 Enjoy the rest of your stay and love to you both xx ❤️
Awww thanks so much! Hahah yes, we walked so so much in Scotland to do a lot of filming so had a good excuse for cake. We came home last weekend, I wish I could edit videos while travelling but it takes me 2 whole days for one video so I always have to wait until we're home again. Have a nice weekend.
Yeah...this Vlog was absolutely better than TV! What a great job they did here!
Loved this too Scotland is so so special. I LOVED the 2 little Scottish terriers at the beginning 😍
This has been one of my favorite trips next to Jane Austen and Mapperton...I feel like "we" have been to so many stunningly beautiful places...Thank -You for showing us the lovely, magical castles and lochs...it simply takes my breath away..all I kept saying to myself was WOW, how beautiful!!...once again a wonderful treat..you two are just so kind for sharing your adventures with us!! It is so appreciated ❤
Eure Videos sind toll! Sie setzten das wesentliche so perfekt in Szene , da könnte sich manche Doku eine Scheibe von abschneiden. Danke für die tollen Eindrücke von dem wunderschönen Schottland 🏴. Grüße aus Köln von Regina und Jörg
I liked the dance, Joerg! Lol. Beautiful castle.
Oh oh oh!!! So stunningly beautiful!! I loved every single bit of this wonderful adventure you shared!! The misty light late at night.. the music you chose at the end.. all so special!! Thank you Kirsten and Joerg!! 👏🏻☺️🤎💙💚 🏴
Thanks so much Marcia! Oh yes, that was such a great and quiet night, it felt magical.
The meal did look wonderful, beautifully presented and so appetizing.
What an amazing view on the mountains at end of video.
This is a dream of mine...stunning!!!
It's just such a great experience!
How lovely you are able to travel. My maternal Grandfather John Border Grandison, was born and raised in Glasglow, Scotland in the 1900s. He immigrated to Canada with his siblings one by one in the middle 1920s.
I do so wish I could visit but my age and travel restrictions prevent. So Thank you for sharing a most lovely part of my ancestry homeland.Stay Safe🏰🌷
Sooo schön! Das weckt Erinnerungen und Sehnsucht nach Schottland in mir. Danke, dass ihr uns teilhaben lasst!
Vielen lieben Dank!
Wonderful!!! 😍😍😍 I love Kirsten and Joerg!! ❤️❤️🙏💐
Thanks so much!
Omg I wish I was in Scotland right now! So beautiful - all of it. Everything you showed us. Thank you
Amazing and beautiful! I enjoy seeing the land of my ancestors.
How lovely, I'm from Caithness so that made me smile :)
That's so great!
Beautiful - truly.
Thanks so much!
Well that was a lot of fun... the country side is spectacular...wow what an adventure ..Thank-you as always for sharing ♥️🌟🇨🇦
I love the ceiling in the porcelain room. Loved seeing the blue and white Chinese export dishes.
Oh yes, fell in love with that too!
I absolutely love all the wonderful places you guys go to! Thank you for sharing. It’s such a shame your sister and her husband couldn’t come along. This castle is a real gem!💍. Hope your visit is wonderful. Love and best wishes from 🇺🇸❤️
Wow! As usual, your videography and technical edits (and music...) are delightful...!! So impressive! Love each episode coming out from y'all...!! xx
We are so so happy you like it, thank you Lynn!
@@KirstenJoerg
EXCEPTIONAL Kirsten & Joerg! Much love xoxo
I loved the dramatic music for the dramatic scenery.
Thank you!
So Beautiful! Love the opening drone shot and the cozy fire in the end. You covered some fabulous places! Downtown fan here enjoyed the visit to Inveraray!
I think you are the perfect hosts for sightseeing and travel programmes...SO clever too, to make such beautiful videos sometimes from the air. I love the journeys with you, textures, sounds, colours, mountains, gushing rivers, castles cottages and sheep. Joerg is gorgeous as are you, watching and sharing feels like sitting in front of the burning wood fire. You're my favourite 'nature programme'. The at home and cooking decorating videos are also fantastic, thank you for the joy, Khe.
Thank you so much Karen!
This was so lovely. The two of you have become my favorite CZcams people.
Scotland is a beautiful place!!
The castle is stunning. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Joerg, is becoming a master cinematographer! Beautiful footage of the the great Scottish Highlands.
The management ought to have paid you for such a beautiful promotional video.
Anybody watching this will want to go and stay there. So beautiful! 🤩
Aww that's so kind, thank you! Sometimes it can be a good thing not to be paid (sometimes it can of course if you truly LOVE a brand). This comes from the bottom of our hearts so it truly reflects what we think.
Scotland is one of the last greatest wilderness left in the UK
Love the grandiose interior of the castle.
The China display is wonderful .
What’s not to love about it..thanks Kirsten and joerg for bringing this interesting video to watch.
And may I add:your film making is surpassing supreme .
Very enjoyable as always.
Thanks so much Scotland is soooo beautifull you are both amazing 🌹❤️
Hello lovely couple ! So stunning and full of mystery ! Loooove it ! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us your scottish adventure ! Please take care and stay safe ! Bisous from Alsace 😁😍😘🤗
Beautiful drone footage 💕
Nice drone work.
Beautiful location.
Thank you!
This was just beautiful and reinforced in me that I must make it to Scotland ! Thank you for making and sharing your trips with us 💕 I'm so glad you included that shot at the end from your bedroom window , straight out of a fairy tale ! You two are very special 💝💝
Beautiful scenery
Kirsten & Joerg. I just sat down with some Yorkshire tea. To see your beautiful accommodations. And Lovely ariial views. Your door has a lion door knocker just like we have on our front door. What nice rooms you have to use for your stay. The castle looks very beautiful as do the gardens. I really love Scottish castles with all the arms and weaponry. I do agree with Joerg the hall was the best. I see you found some William Morris wallpaper😉. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers Ron & Dovie
Thank you so much Ron & Dovie, it was a great choice for a lovely stay to explore the Highlands, that's for sure.
@@KirstenJoerg Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the north,
The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Chorus
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild-deer and following the roe,
My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go
By Robert Burns
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I was lucky to have visited the Scottish Highlands in April 2022, which included a visit to Inveraray Castle. Your tour of the castle brought back such wonderful memories of my trip.
I was also in the Highlands in April 2022 from Australia. Beautiful place
So neat to stay in a castle it's quite nice to see things that possibly my ancestors built because I am from English ancestry
It was built by Scots . Sir Duncan Campbell ( "Black Campbell " )
Nope 🙄
@@scotsquine7870 The first castle was built by Sir Duncan Campbell but the Castle shown in this video is the second castle built. The Third Duke rehoused the locals in a new village as he needed the land to expand and build his new castle the castle we see in this video. So yes the original first castle was built by Sir Duncan but not the actual castle in the video. So yes I suppose you are both right in a way.
GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL CASTLE!!!💖💖💖💖💖
What an amazing castle. The outside looks very unique.
Another great video !
So glad you liked it!
How lucky the two of you are to stay at such a historical castle in Scotland. Your Vlog was stunning 🤩 Thank you for taking us on this magical adventure with you in Scotland. As always breathtaking video footage! Till next time, take care and stay safe x🇨🇦
Beautiful!
Rhododendrons grow wild in the Smoky (Appalachian) Mountains. I have one, which is actually three, at my front door. It grew to 11+ ft tall last year, covering the entryway way from the street, so it got a radical trimming, down to about 1 meter. We did that just after it bloomed last year and it was covered in blooms again this year. It will be 6ft plus by the end of next year. There is one mountain about 35-40 minutes from my home called Roan Mountain and the entire mountain is covered in Rhododendron, They grow wild on the surrounding mountains, as well, but those mountains are a mix of the Rhododendron and hardwood trees.
The castles were all lovely'. Thank you for giving us a glimpse. The China display is arranged in a cabinet very similar to the White House in the states. The walls are covered with those cabinets in the White House, but it goes through quite a bit more changes in the states. They change the pattern every 4-8 years and after 250 years, there is quite a bit of china.
Спасибо большое! 🙌❤️Это было великолепно! 👍
Lovely to see my home country where I haven't lived for 23 years! Inverary Castle lovely went there over 30 years ago. I loved the china room. You should watch the Outlander series. And yes I will be watching Downton Abbey again. When I was there I met the previous Duke and Duchess on horseback when in the gardens.
Makes me want to rewatch that episode of Downton Abbey. Gorgeous!
Merci pour les moments enchanteurs que vous nous faites passer. Des compliments particuliers à Kirsten pour son charmant sourire et sa voix mélodieuse.
Oh wow.weiss einfach nicht was ich schreiben soll.sehr beeindruckend!.und seehr schön!!🥰😍.
Danke fürs mitnehmen 😘😘👍👍.
Stay safe
In the summer of 1988, for our honeymoon, we drove from Germany up through England and Scotland, staying at hotels along the way. We stayed in John O'Groats one night and were amazed at the fact it was still not dark at 11 p.m.! We took lots of photos and has such a wonderful time. Thank you for helping me walk down memory lane today.
Oh yes, the further north you go to the UK, the longer you you will have daylight in summer.
C'est absolument SPLENDIDE ! I hope that I will be able to go to Scotland one day... MERCI de tout ❤ for sharing ! Greetings from Switzerland 🙂🇨🇭
Scotland is incredibly beautiful! I have to put it on my bucket list! Love your videos! Bravo to you both!💖💐
Thank you for yet another lovely video kirsten and Joerg. 🥰 I love visiting the Highlands, such a beautiful place full of history and mystery. Hope you have a wonderful time on your next adventure 😊 xx
Schottlands Landschaft hat etwas mystisches und dramatisches. Das ist mir sofort bei meinem ersten Besuch dort aufgefallen😊 schönes Video, vielen Dank😁
Eure Aufnahmen sind fantastisch !!
Danke an euch für diese wundervollen Ausflüge...
S:)
Fantastic accommodations there. Nice sized room with great sunlight and views. Love the furnishings and the rooms and the castle itself are just gorgeous with its greenish hue and overall architectural layout … just lovely. Thank you again for another one-of-a-kind (and I mean that with the highest form of flattery) vlog.
Thank you for filming such great views! The scenery is so stunning! Lots of greenery, so quiet and peacefull...

Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️ loved every moment of this. You do a wonderful video presentation. Thank you.
Gorgeous castle🏰, very beautiful garden🌿Thank you for sharing, beautiful couple👏🧿🍀
Guten Abend, ihr beiden! Wieder so ein Augenschmaus! Die beiden Castles sind einfach klasse. Besonders die Einrichtung! Hach, ich liebe das. Und so schön hergerichtet! Der riesige Garten ist auch einzigartig. Das Highlight der Woche. Ich bin wirklich begeistert. Das Dinner war bestimmt auch lecker. Mir läuft das Wasser im Mund zusammen. Ich bin schon so richtig süchtig nach euren Filmen. So - nun wünsche ich euch noch ein schönes Wochenende und freue mich schon auf das nächste Video. Viele liebe Grüße von Annette 🤗🤗📹.
Vielen Dank liebe Annette, es war auch wirklich eine schöne Woche mit tollen Eindrücken. Meine Schwester und unser Schwager hätten es sehr gemocht. Hoffe wir können es nachholen. Viele liebe Grüße
@@KirstenJoerg die Pandemie wird auch mal vorbei sein. Dann könnt ihr alles nachholen. 😍🤗
Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, was ich empfinde. Ich war jede Minute des Videos völlig aufgeregt und es legt sich noch immer nicht. Was für wundervolle Orte - dieser Kamin, der Ausblick...
Vielen Dank, dass Ihr das mit uns teilt 🌸
Wow, so beautiful! Love this place, thank you for taking us along!
Lovely vlog. The castle's are magnificent.
Thank for all your lovely vlogs especially the Scottish ones and the beautiful views xx your vlogs are so soothing and a calming escape from all the madness of the pandemic that surrounds us as present xx thank you xx🥰🏰😊
wonderful Scotland has been on my list to see before I leave this Earth..thank you!! Jana x
Thank you for talking us along with you, that was great,❤️.
Beautiful! Thank you and God bless you!
Stunning places🏰🏞️😊. Great choice of music. Thank you for sharing🤗. Love that you had 2 tradition Scottish breakfasts.. Porridge and Scottish pancakes😊. Inverary castle looks greenish because it is build from volcanic metamorphic green/blue schist stone... Which can look greenish-gray and/or bluish-gray. The style of the dome ceiling in the porcelain room reminded me of Wedgewood china.. Stunning😊.
I was hoping to come back home to the UK this summer, but as you say, the UK is off limits with a minimum 2 week quarantine when coming back to Germany.. So no chance this year😢😔. At least I get to see it through your eyes/videos. I appreciate everything you show us so much. You are both wonderful. Thank you🙏🤗.
I love how you point out the rooms that were used in Downton Abbey and other movies. I need to go back and watch Downton Abbey again, among others. I also need to start making a list. You have great observation skills!
Magnificent just breath taking. I added my comment before the last view at 11:00PM. Just so wonderful.
I loved this video :) !!! Both castles looked absolutely stunning and the scenery magnificent. Thank you so much for sharing.
traumhaft schön , danke ihr zwei lieben 🙏
Awesome castle,beautiful inside and out.Thank you.
