  • This is a short history of Donald Cargill and the story of Cargill's Leap in Perthshire, Scotland. Donald Cargill made a dashing escape from Royalist Troops by jumping across the river Ericht in the 17th century. He was wanted for treason against King Charles the Second whom he wanted to be excommunicated. Follow the exploits of this man from Rattray who took on the establishment for his beliefs and his rights to express them as he pleased.

    A great insight for all. Thank you for sharing. Brought back many childhood memories along the river including making the leap on a hot sunny day. Its a shame that the kids still feel it necessary to graffiti the sign explaining part history but good to see the new foot bridges intact.

      Thank you buddy, much appreciated. As a kid I did some dumb things too, but as an adult you just think why!! I’m tempted to go along with some white spirit and clean the graffiti off, Im surprised no one else has decided to do the same.

      Thanks Craig. I never knew the story of Donald Cargill other than jumping the leap until I did research. Did you ever attempt it bud?

      I am reading Maurice Grant’s biography of Donald Cargill (No King But Christ, 1988) and decided to search him online and discovered your CZcams. Thank you! This is lovely and well done.

      Hey buddy, how are you? At the end of October, highlander filming locations part three should be completed and ready to watch. I have many plans for further content, it’s just been one of those years where either the weather has not played ball at the weekends and a busy life/work schedule has made it difficult to get out and about.

      @@EVOLLOVEx I thought it was you buddy 😆🤙. Dornoch, a place I’ve visited and stayed many times, beautiful part of Scotland. We were there a few months back but is rained the whole time, which puts a dampener on any holiday, I hope the weather was kind to you and your fam. Have you considered doing videos and taking to the camera on things that interest you?

      @@boba2783 yes it would be. I’ve actually been in several locations from that movie in Glencoe. In the movie Highlander which I’ve done two videos on, apparently a part of the Monty python movie was filmed where Connor and Heather have their home.
