I took the Train to Balloch. It was Definitely an Interesting Experience!
Hello all and thanks for clicking on this channel once more!
Some of you may know, I've spent quite a bit of time in Scotland recently and this latest video is a quick summary of one of the trips I took from Glasgow up to Balloch on the shores of Loch Lomond.
It was certainly a trip to remember, whether that was for the right or wrong reasons, well, I'll leave you to decide on that one!
I would be very interested to know if any of you guys have been on this journey and/or had a similar experience to mine.
By the way, if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet, it would be amazing if you could do that or tell your friends - that would really help me out a lot and is much appreciated. As always, thanks for watching and I'll catch you on another video soon.
Cheers for now!

West Dunbartonshire Tourism Video
Dumbarton Castle With Music On History Visit To West Dunbartonshire Scotland
Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Dumbarton Castle on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit overlooking the River Clyde in West Dunbartonshire, Britain, United Kingdom. This Scottish castle has the longest recorded history of any stronghold in Great Britain. It is located on a plug of volcanic basalt known as Dumbarton Rock. At least as far back as the Iron Age, this has been the site of a strategically important settlement. Its early residents were known to have traded with the Romans. The presence of a settlement is first recorded in a letter Saint Patrick wrote to King Ceretic of Alt Clut in the late 5th century. The name Dumbarton comes from the language of the Gaelic-speaking Scots, and means fortress of the Britons. The Britons themselves, another Celtic race, called the Rock Alclutha, meaning Rock on the Clyde. From the Dark Ages until the 12th century A.D., the Britons had a kingdom called Strathclyde. It stretched from Dumbarton in the north to Morecambe Bay in the south. Dumbarton was its capital. In the 12th century the Kingdom of Strathclyde was integrated into what we recognise now as Scotland, and the Castle soon became one of the Scottish royal fortresses like those at Stirling and Edinburgh. Because of this new status, the Castle played its part in some of the momentous events of Scottish history. In the late 13th and early 14th centuries, the Castle features during the period when Scotland was trying to free itself from the overlordship of King Edward I of England. Edward appointed Sir John Menteith as his Governor at the Castle, and Menteith had William Wallace incarcerated there in 1305 before his transfer to London for trial and execution. Not until the death of Edward did Menteith accept Robert the Bruce as the rightful King of Scotland. He then surrendered the Castle to Bruce. During the period of Mary Queen of Scots in the 16th century, the Castle passed between the factions supporting the English and those allied to the French. Mary herself was taken here as a child for her own safety, and sailed from the Castle to France, where she was betrothed to the French Dauphin. The Earl of Fleming continued to hold the Castle for the Scottish/French alliance, but finally, after a daring assault on the north-eastern flank, Thomas Crawford of Jordanhill and his men successfully took over control. Fleming escaped to France. In the centuries that followed, Dumbarton Castle no longer had the strategic significance of former times. It became dilapidated, and in the 1640s surrendered to Oliver Cromwell without a struggle. In the 19th century, the Castle was used as an army barracks, and later had a close connection with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Queen Victoria made an official visit in 1847, King George VI in 1937, and the young Queen Elizabeth with the Duke of Edinburgh in 1954. The Castle was occupied by the army in both World Wars,
The City of London's Lovely Victorian Garden Cemetery
The City of London Cemetery and Crematorium is a remarkable burial ground which truly merits inclusion in any inventory of great Victorian garden cemeteries. Opened in 1856, today it has some 150,000 graves and 70,000 gravestones and monuments and is the final resting places for almost one million departed.
Come with me as we explore the impressive architecture and artwork to be seen in this municipal cemetery, one of the largest in Europe. We will also discover some of the noteworthy people who now lie in this wonderfully listed landscaped burial ground.

Helensburgh - why three stations?

Balloch ????????????????????????????
Balloch is an enchanting village on the south-west shores of Loch Lomond and easily accessible from Glasgow.
Balloch is often referred to as the gateway to the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. It has excellent road and rail links from Glasgow which make it a popular place to visit for a day trip or longer break and a good place to start exploring the National Park.
Loch Lomond Shores is a wonderful place to visit, offering a wide range of indoor, outdoor and water-based activities alongside fantastic shopping and dining for all the family.

NORTH COAST 500 VLOG ◆ A Muddy Day Exploring Wick & Caithness ◆ Scotland NC500 Road Trip [DAY 3]
[Filmed November 18, 2020]
In today's vlog, we're sharing the next day in our NC500 Scotland road trip series!
In this UK travel vlog filmed during our time traversing Great Britain, we explored some of the gorgeous outdoor sites around the Caithness region of Scotland near Wick.
What a stunning landscape!!!
We saw the Neolithic-era Ragnog Broch and Achavanich Stone Circle while traipsing through the rain and mud. Then, we made our way to the Grey Cairns of Camster to scope out the ancient burial mounds and meet an adorable flock of sheep.
Plus, our final stop was the breathtaking seaside castle ruin of Castle Sinclair Girnigoe near the Noss Head lighthouse!
Hope you enjoy tagging along on our adventures in this video!

Spring Road Trip Drive From Culross To Visit Torryburn Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland Spring travel video of an April road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, from Culross through Low Valleyfield and Newmills on visit to the village of Torryburn on the North Shore of the Firth of Forth in Fife. Lilias Adie, born 1640, died 1704, was a Scottish woman who lived in the coastal village of Torryburn. She was accused of practising witchcraft and fornicating with the devil but died in prison before sentence could be passed. Her grave is the only known one in Scotland of an accused witch, most were burned. Lilias Adie's first name also appears as Lilly, and her last name was also recorded as Addie and Eddie. Illness among local residents created a brief but intense period of witch hunting in the Fife area. A woman named Jean Bizet had accused Adie of witchcraft, proclaiming beware lest Lilias Adie come upon you and your child. This resulted in the arrest of Adie, who was likely upwards of 60 at the time. Adie was taken to the local minister, Reverend Allan Logan, to answer to the crime of witchcraft. For over a month she was imprisoned and subjected to day after day of rough interrogation before she finally confessed. No commission for a witchcraft trial was ever issued and no trial was held. Lilias Adie died before her investigation was concluded. The ordeal she endured proved too much after over a month of prolonged torturous interrogations, involving sleep deprivation.
Culross is acknowledged as one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland, hence why it is so often used as a film and television location, including for hit US TV series, Outlander.
The surname Adie was first found in the county of Berwickshire, Scotland. Spelling variations of this family name include: Ade, Addie, Addy, Addey, Eadie, Eddie, Edie, Edey, Aidie, Aidy, Aiddye, Adie and many more.
John Adie arrived in South Carolina, America, in 1680; James Adie landed in New York, America, in 1829
Coronavirus travel restrictions have now been eased in Scotland, it is now possible to travel out of your local area for non essential reasons.
