I worked in Scotland for several years and got to visit several castles while I was there. I went to Sterling on my last trip to Scotland, and it turned out not being far from where I stayed in Greenock. I love this castle the best and still have an 8mm video from the day I was there. I love Scotland
My home town , Best castle in scotland by far an a joy to look at everyday ....blessed being from stirling
I really enjoyed this video. It was quiet, no screaming narrators, you have a very pleasant voice. Thank you.
The screaming on some of those vid’s is soooo annoying
@@randykirkland3927 i for me. i have seen ghosts meny time in malaysia and malay ghosts
I will never see this in person, your view was if I was there. Thank you so much.
Denise Wilson Thanks! Glad I could take you there!
When I was there with my band, I took out my set of pipes and played a few tunes. Great view overthere and nice filming! Love to see it back how it really is!
Denise Wilson I was lucky enough to go.wonderful!
Denise Wilson same here lol
Carla Tillman indeed very lucky !
My dad was stationed here when he was in The Argyllshire and Sutherland Highlanders army regiment in 1956. He was 18 years old, and left when he was 21. He has told me of seeing the headless piper in this castle, it scared the life out of him. Beautiful castle this is.
I would crap my pants if I had to be in there after dark.
@@snoopydean3333 jajajjaja so true
in the pipes and drums room where they slept , he was a pretty regular visitor,
Oh I would love to listen to your dad’s stories!! I love this stuff!
They had an Alsatian dog that slept with them , 2 doors ,one at each end . dog would sit up and watch as something moved from one door to the other , dog never took its eyes of it till it wasn,t there anymore.
Although a Glaswegian, I have lived in Stirling for 36 years. My son was married in the chapel in the castle and had his reception in the 'Great Hall'. Wonderful video and music. Thanks.
This is a beautiful place for a wedding.I have never seen anything so huge, I'd have to walk a mile just To get breakfast.
Oh I bet that was beautiful!!!
I was born in Stirling; Dad was stationed at the Castle WW2 The Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders; Thanks for showing this detailed walk-about. I really enjoyed it, never having been there. Only lived there for a few weeks, after my birth.
Stirling is wonderful. When we were there I told my husband I wanted to live there. My family is Scottish on my dad’s side (his grandfather was born in Glasgow). We live in Florida, but we love Scotland. 😊
Thecatspajamas891 omfg do you realise how much we hate when Americans are like “oh yeah my grandads cousins uncles wife was a quarter Scottish so that makes me Scottish!” Like oh my fucking god shut the fuck up
Thats lovely,you have a connection to the place.Maybe your family was from this area further back.I think its great when Americans appreciate there origins,and your Great Grandfather is a close connection,not like 100s of years ago.
@@robertsmith5970 it’s fucking horrific she’s not Scottish stfu
@@gollum507 You shut the F**k UP! If people want to think they have Ancestry they can, and are welcome in SCOTLAND, from A SCOT.
@@gollum507 You need to see a Shrink...you're not a very nice person. Atlanta? Are you Scottish?
I just got back from Scotland a week ago and had the pleasure of visiting this site. I have as a souvenier a piece of slate that fell from the roof! Was blown away by the skill of the tradesmen that built this wonderful castle.
I was there with my other half at the New year night gig. Fantastic night, I'm so happy you enjoyed the honest openiest and hospitality of Scotland.
I just started watching your video on Stirling Castle. I have visited Scotland three times and my husband will attest Scotland is like a second home. I have not seen all your videos of Stirling, but one of the favorite things to do in Stirling was the Back Way. Looking up at the Castle Walls just is awe inspiring views. I hope in the future to visit Scotland again.
I visited this place 4 years ago on my trip to Scotland, and I am still aching to return. Stirling was breathtaking in its beauty, and the energy of its history can be felt in every inch of this castle, and the town itself! Great video.
Loved this! My ancestors came to the US from Fintry, near Stirling (Taylors who married a Margaret Scott from Glasgow) They opened a Scottish import business on the tip of Manhattan( Wall Street) in the 1700s. I've never been to visit. Love all the greenery and old stonework. Appreciate when you shot looking up, and all the gargoyles.
Hope you guys enjoy History, Architecture, Ghost Tales, Folklore and Beauty. Let me know what your favorite story I told from the episode is. Thanks for watching! Please share!
Love this!!!
Our son's name is Matthew...Our daughter & her hubby are over right now in Ireland...staying in different castles! I love the stories related to Wallace &and all the bravehearts...Any stories regarding dragons???
Why is that cross in the window of the chapel...UPSIDE DOWN???
Great episode, Matt. I've been to Stirling Castle numerous times, and it truly is a special place. Scotland is rife with history and ghostly tales, not to mention a land of beauty. Thanks for sharing, lad. Cheers!
What a great film...delightfully restful music and interesting, original anecdotes. More please!
Was there this summer. Stayed at the University of Stirling, and the view from my bedroom was the castle! It was just beyond magical to wake up every day to the sight of it! And the visit with the tour guide was just everything... yes I did feel that magical mysterious vibe you speak of. I'm very grateful for this experience. :)
By the way, at 12.14 that little corner/nish where you were standing, looking out through an opening, some guy was killed there back in the day, had his head smashed against the wall. I'm a medium, well not a professional medium, but I channel randomly like that. Interesting that while I was actually there I didn't see anything. I think I closed myself to it coming in so the experience wouldn't be too overwhelming. But I just saw it now while you were there.
The lookout tower, reminded me of the fort in San Juan Puerto Rico. As a senior citizen with mobility issues, I thank you for sharing such an amazing destination! I know that I won't get to visit, but it was a joy, seeing it through your eyes. Thank you so much, God bless you.
Glad you like Stirling, come again some time. :)
A beautiful and well preserved 'Stirling Castle' I like many other people love castles, the history and folklore of the times. Bound too be full of past residual energies (ghosts)...don't know if I shall ever get to Scotland in my lifetime now, but have always wanted to explore the home of my namesake, or where it originated from, but would be getting close to the Shetland Isles in Scotland for that! Thank you for sharing the history of this altogether fantastic castle its good to be able to see such on film....and there are a fair percentage of castles in Scotland, possibly because of the vastness of the county...
Loved your video. Stirling is my "hame toon" and I love coming back (we travel all over). I have to say though, our unofficial National Anthem: "Flower of Scotland" is about Robert The Bruce and the defeat of Edward II at The Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, it's not about William Wallace. Just a wee bit of info. for you. That being said, thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Very well done. Shall be watching more. X
I loved this I am a Scott who has lived in Australia for many years and I have more interest in Scottish history than I ever had when living there I am so proud of my Scottish heritage and am now passing this knowledge on to my sons who are just fascinated. Thanks for great video
Any relation to Jim..?
The music fit in with your walk and you left the birds chirping. This place is so beautiful
I double that opinion
❤👀@ these old Scottish Castles. Thanks.
I worked here for a while. Loved every moment!
Proud to be a Fifer from Bonnie Scotland 💙
Thank you so much for this video. I love the calmness of it, not like many half hysteric videos that try to make it "exciting" and actually are mostly annoying. You voice is very pleasant to listen to and you come with relevant fact in a nice and calm pace. Good job!
Thanks Agnes!
Loved the voice but hated the music. Like it wanted me to sleep but i wanted to pay attention.
love the music te voice the amazing casthle xx love the story xx off king james and queen mary ,,,
Loved the music..and the views..great video....xx
I’m planning my bucket list and ancestral trip to Scotland and found your video! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Especially enjoyed the pop up maps to show us your location! Very cool! Made me feel like I was touring with you! Thank you!
What I like so much about this is your obvious deep fondness for the place, you really did Stirling Castle justice. Lovely video with lots of fascinating info.
Great Vlog my Friend! Bonnie Scotland, the History, the Architecture and natural Landscapes... I've been there three times now and each time I just want to go back again!! It's beyond an addiction, Scotland grabs One's Soul and Never Lets Go!! And most beloved, Scotland's Children, Her Family that welcome us with open arms and warm smiles, oh how I love it... Alba Gu Brath!!
My husband and I have been there three times as well, in 1998, 2002 and 2007. The history blows us away and to walk through church and castle ruins a thousand years old gives chills. There is something so primal there, especially in the highlands and hebrides. So much to see. Matt did a terrific job making this video and bringing back memories of Stirling, the Wallace Monument and the Castle. I'll never grow tired of a scotsman brogue!
Slainte
This made me homesick for a place I’ve never been.... well made.
Lori Ann you may have Scottish ancestors, I feel home sick everyday, I need to move back lol!
I feel the same...
Lori Carter you have been here just another life
You were there in a past life.
As do I ! -- someday
Beautiful and insightful video. I normally don't watch too many amateur videos, but this one really gave the feel of the castle and was nicely narrated and shot. Thanks 😊
Never knew just how big the Castle really was. So many rooms and walk ways.
Thanks for compacting 6hrs of touring into 37 minutes. It couldn't have been easy.
matthgmdude1 Thanks for watching man! Yeah and i cut out alot of footage too. I filmed CRAZY amounts in Scotland.
The absolute definitive Stirling castle vlog, Well done sir, respect to you from a Scotsman abroad.
Funny, relaxing, nostalgic, informative and enjoyable ..thank you
i stay only 6 miles from stirling castle and have been many times but your video still managed to show me stuff i hadn't seen. good stuff. great upload. thanks for filming our beautiful castle. :)
Thank you so much for cherishing our country the way that you do and for talking about one of our most important buildings with such respect and admiration, you will always be welcomed back with open arms 💙🏴
(Also, bold move wearing sandals in Scotland!) 😂
Really great of you to film this...they should put up barriers though to stop any falls..!!!
This was the best guided tour ever. The calm voice and soft music was especially enjoyed! You've gained a new follower. Thank you!
I really loved your narration, and the way you filmed it the way I have actually experienced castles when I was in Scotland. I haven't made it to Stirling Castle, but now it's definitely on my list. Great job, and your peaceful strolling and your interaction with your partner made it seem like going with friends. Thanks again!
I really, REALLY enjoyed this, man. It was very relaxing and well narrated....and the little map in the corner was a cool idea, too. Thank you so much for the tour!
James Stewart 💯👊
Except he got it wrong lol
Keith Gavel what did he get wrong?
WOW! This was such a pleasent experience. The music choice, the fact that it did not overpower the birds and the wind, you calm demeanor, the long tour and your minimal but cozy storytelling and comments. Loved this, thank you for this beautifull tour. ♡ 10/10
Love, love, love your video's. So much history! Love that I explored along with you while in my bed in Maryland. Thank you for sharing!
Was at Stirling castle this year and it took my breath away
Stirling Castle comes up in my family tree on the Renfro side PLUS, i have a relative that fought in William Wallace's militia, this same relitive was held prisoners at the Castle of old Sarum between 1304 and 1307. His name was Robert Renfro. He was from Stirling... So i found this video quite personal... Thank you for showing me what my Ancestors have seen, where they walked... Loved it💕
That is so awesome!!!
you actually look scottish im sure you fitted in well here. i live amongst castles NE scotland ,my bay has three. i love it here i came back from USA moved to here my heart and soul belongs here. Mystical, rugged, wild, steeped in history and the architecture i just absolutely love our architecture here . so much history in these lands you can feel it.
Thank you very much for the intimate look at this beautiful castle. I enjoyed the cinematography and the casual nature of the explore.
Thank you for taking your time to share this beautiful historic castle with us !
I absolutely love European history. I'm no scholar but the Kings, Queens, Castles, the gowns and jewels, Peasants, Serfs, Nobles and the villages and Horses etc... Absolutely Fascinating! My favorite part of this video are the medieval ghost stories and the entire tour! The Piano in the background was fabulous too! I miss you and love you very much Nana and Papa - my Scottish grandparents! Ok then... Cheerio!
Do you like European history or History of the British Isles which is two different things or both. We are part of the British Isles ( which comprises of about 187 permanently inhabited islands in total) not connected to the European mainland which we would call Europe. The British Isles is not Europe. Though we are part of the European Union. Coming from England I personally love our History and the History of Scotland which is so intertwined with ours. I suppose it could be said as we were invaded by Europe we have some things in common with European history bar our wars with France and Saxons and Norman invasions. If your interested in Scottish history you should watch the History of Scotland series or if you love English History then there is a great series on You Tube called Britain's Bloodiest Dynasty which covers the Plantagenet kings. if your into ghost stories in English, Irish, welsh and Scottish castles then there is a great series narrated by the late Sir Robert Hardy Called Castle Ghosts of England, Castle Ghosts of Scotland and one of Ireland. you may really enjoy them. All of them are on you tube. i thought they were fantastic you may enjoy them too.
Beautifully made video, clear and interesting, well done guys !
I like many others may never have a chance to see this thank you for taking us on this tour to places we'll probably never get to go. Excellent photography.
I loved Stirling. Everyone was so friendly, and the castle was gorgeous, and the views perfect.
I really enjoyed this and am now CRAVING more than ever to go to Scotland. I am half Scottish and half Native American. Loved The Kids in the Hall reference LOL "Crush their heads!" Very nice enjoyable and informative video, beautiful scenery, nice voice for narrating. Thank you.
I wonder if they ever searched that old well and found anything in it.
its beautiful in the summer you wouldn't regret coming here. :)
Fantastic! I'm not rich, so I travel mainly with the help of videos like yours, and you do a wonderful job of it. Many thanks to you and your fair maiden. I noticed that you sometimes spoke with a Scottish accent for fun. I visited down in New Orleans a few years ago and my natural French accent kept creeping out in everything I said. And I'm perfectly bilingual!
Loved this place. Mary is a special person to me. It was amazing to see her chapel and bedroom. Dining room and walkways. Beautiful kitchen as well as all the views. Thank you so much for speaking of Wallace as well. To see his tower was fantastic.
Stirling castle visit was the most memorable moment of my trip in Scotland. Thank you for bringing back memories and feelings. Amazing work made with love.. Keep up!
John Pan Cool thanks man!
Just found you. Wow this is so beautiful and the history of it and the surroundings. Thank you for sharing with us. Loving the music too ❤️❤️❤️
It looks so solid, no debris of loose stones.
I live in Stirling. Although I’m Glasgow born and bred. The castle is legendary. Try Edinburgh Castle too.
My ancestors came from Scotland, how l wish l could go
@@deborahisaacs5541 Mine did also, would love to go there. Mine were the Keiths.
The Castle is beautiful, but how did they stay warm on cold or damp nights? It's huge, I'd get lost in there!
Happening across your video was a real treat. In 2017 I took a holiday to Scotland, partly to honour my late Scottish friend. Stirling Castle was one of my stops. I tend to take my time at locations and savour the atmosphere. Your video brought back it back to me. You also mentioned events & occurrences that I was unaware of. So thank you both.
One of the other locations I visited that year was Edinburgh Castle. I was there for the Royal Military Tattoo. Interestingly, many of the photos I took once darkness had set in were replete with 'orbs'.
Take care, mind those castle walls, & Happy 2020.
21:04. My grandad used to live in Raploch Road the street at the time mark when he was wee. He tells us stories of the castle and how they used to sneak into the cup and saucer and get up to no good. It’s amazing to take him up to visit it and to hear all the tales. You are more than welcome back to our wee country any time! Awesome video! 😁🏴
I really enjoyed this. I’ve loved European history since I was young. My husband and I traveled all over Ireland a few years back. We stopped and explored every castle and chapel we found. Truly love this stuff.
It’s lovely, the greens! So green! Relaxing music and calm
Voice. I love scotland my middle child lives in Edinburgh now. I will visit stirling next time I am close by
That is such an amazing castle that we must visit one day. Quite a trek from our home in Wales but we are really looking forward to making the trip. Thanks for sharing this film which only adds to our desire to visit. 😀
Love this! I was looking back at old photos of the castle when I went there a few years ago. Thought I saw an apparition of a male in 1600’s or so clothing but no photo taken. Really wanna go back to the castle, very fascinating!
Well done, Matt! I toured Stirling Castle in September,1998 and they were about to begin preparation for the huge celebration on 12/31/1999. So many great castles in Scotland but Stirling was very special. The great hall was amazing as was the military museum. Didn't see (or feel) any ghosts, although I expect there are many about. It was a clear day when we were there and we could see Edinburgh Castle in the distance. You were so lucky to live there for a year, Matt. The people, the history and the countryside make Scotland my favorite vacation spot.
Wow I want to thank you for this video the time and care you took making it the music is right for this Royal Castle so much History. I will one day visit as I now feel very connected to it.
Thank you.
Best video of Stirling Castle I have ever had the privilege to watch and that's not enough praise, thank you. I hear your passion for Stirling & Scotland don't let that fade away, its in ya! Bloody Brilliant show!
I was blessed with a trip to Stirling a few years ago. IF you can get there - GET THERE!! AWESOME!!
Your videos are informative, hilarious, full of character and are so good to watch - thanks for taking the time to film, edit and upload these fantastic videos, Matt. Looking forward to watching more...
How absolutely beautiful. I don’t think I’ve been there even though I’ve been to Scotland five times. My grandfather is from Scotland. Special place in my heart always...
This is an absolutely beautiful video of an absolutely beautiful place. Thank you so very much for your work and sharing this with us all. 🖤🖤🖤
A great place and my family are from Stirling with all my ancestry .Avery nice show which i loved giving details where you was filming and so forth,Thank you both.
Seeing you in one of the lookout towers I wonder how many guards back in the day bored to tears sat and sang using those acoustics?!
This is a really good video! I don’t even know why I clicked on it because I’m not drawn to the word haunted in the title of a video but I’m so glad I did. I really enjoyed watching this so thank you!
Loved this so much. Thank you! Something I will never personally never have the opportunity to do! Felt like I was there!
That's the most beautiful place I seen in a very long time. Thank you for your video.
I am Stirling born and bred, so glad you enjoyed the castle and my home city
Great tour. I just happened upon your video. Matt, you really do an incredible job of editing and filming. You've sped up where it's reasonable and spoken about the important parts of history.
I'm curious if you or anyone knows how much later the newer part of the castle (where the Queen's apartments are) was built vs. the older. Great, great video.
As someone who's Great Grandfather was born in one of these castles I have always wanted to go but this was just as good. Thanks so much.
What a wonderful presentation!! Thank you so much for sharing - feels great to watch history and let the world of covid19 set on a shelf for awhile! Loved hearing the birds!!
Nice Job I agree with the other comments your calming respectful charming yet interesting presentation is much appreciated and you keep moving I'm tired already and its such a big place and nice pace I didnt have to slow down or speed up the video..thank you!
love this video. thank u for the tour. my ancestors were the McDougal's from Stirling Castle💖
Just wanted to say, Ive just watched your videos of your visit to Stirling Castle and I thought they were so good. Coming from Scotland and living in Falkirk, I saw more of the place than when I visited. Cant do it now as Im disabled so it was great to be treated to a good walk round. Come back to Scotland Matt. Well done and stay safe
I really enjoyed the City of Sterling and the castle. Great pubs and such friendly citizens, i have very fond memories.
Nice place Scotland full of history. Thankyou for the tour.
Your videos are works of art my friend. I can feel the love you put into this, its not rushed😍, your story simply unfolds as we watch this video. Friggen hats off to you Sir! Thank you for not rushing these.
Beautiful video, Matt. I particularly love the soft and haunting music you’ve added, very soothing.
This film you have produced is exactly why I subscribed to your channel , great job Matt from top to bottom. The hard work and passion you have for what you do really shines. Awesome!
mountaindoggy Thanks! Glad somebody gets it. Lol. Most people take one look at the length of some of my videos and are like...nope. lol oh well. I make what I like. ;-) Thanks for the comment!
Amazing how Sterling Castle is so well preserved
Wow, My best friend, Wonderful video dear. I enjoyed watching. Hope to see you soon...
Absolutely fantastic! You bring true entertainment to our home..Thank you so much...
Keep the back logged footage coming! These videos help me travel vicariously.
nintendolunchbox Good to hear! Travel on good travelor.
Thanks so much for taking us with you! And for being a calming narrator and history seeker. I so enjoyed this.
This was wonderful. Felt like I was there. Appreciated the history and lore. Thanks!
Haven't been to Stirling Castle since I was 15 so this was good to see.
This place means so much to me I'm related to Robert the 2nd king of Scots he was my 19 great grandfather most of his kids was born here it means the world to me when I found out about this and Dundonald castle was another one too ☺ thank u for showing such a lovely video
Do you live in Stirling?
@@SpookyElectric319 no I've learn this when I was doing my family tree and I had to double check to make sure everything added up in my line my family is from Canada but our lineage went back him ..our family went through various transition to get where we are at . Am I 100% sure not really but I did so based on my investigation into what our tree was and who it was I was very curious my great great grandmother side came with this results after I kept going on
@@SpookyElectric319 it's fine if u don't believe me but I'm not the only decedent in his line
He my what ever great grandfather too I live south of England mean you my distance cousin!
Ahh wonderful, we are tracing our family back aswell! Not sure if we are directly related but think there is certainly a connection. My dad and grandad sure have the Bruce nose haha.. Brilliant 😀👌
Thank you for all the hard work you put into this, very well done!
Love this - really enjoyable mini documentary. I now want to watch the new Mary - Queen of Scots movie.
I have a cousin that lives in Inverness. And another that lives in Dunbar. Would love to visit, and see Sterling Castle! A Few years ago, the Laird of Stirling, had the Seven Tapestry Panels of "The Hunt of the Unicorn" Woven for Stirling Castle, the work done by Dean's Tapestry Studio... I think the Studio is in Ireland. I saw the finished work, and they are Stunning!
Thank you for the Treat!
Lovely place. Ghosts or not I would love to live there. Just be tough house cleaning!
Just discovered your channel. Subbed immediately. What I love is the fact that you really feel like you are there. Love the little map. Brilliant job. Thank you.
