Castle Campbell - Dollar Scotland HD Walk Through

A tour around Castle Campbell, I visited the Castle December 30th, it was open to the public and due to the time of year it was very quiet, so we had the chance to walk around filming and taking photos. Recorded using a GoPro Hero3 on a Zhiyun Rider M gimbal, mounted on a Scorpion grip.
Photos taken can be seen at / dylan__welsh__
Castle Campbell set in the Dollar Glen, Ochil Hills Scotland. Mary Queen of Scots visited as did John Knox. First mentioned in a Papal Bull or charter issued by the pope in 1466, which it was called The Palace of Glowm, which lead to the later name of Castle Gloom. Earl Colin took over the castle in 1457 and petitioned King James IV of Scotland, to have the castle renamed Castle Campbell.

    I love the big hearths. I would really love to see the laird’s solar and the lady of the castles day rooms. If I close my eyes, I can imagine the guards walking all around the wall walk at the top, while the laird and lady of the castle were supping the nooning in the great hall upon the dais, lol

    I so agree! We can't read the signs, maybe just tell us a bit. I found the toilets in castles we saw funny. Your area hung out in the air, because the toilet was built out.the poop, etc just fell out into a moat or down the castle wall.

    Thanks, guys. That was fun! As a Campbell (in America) I like to imagine myself living in the lord's chamber, but I'm probably a 9th generation grandson of a serf. Like other commenters, I'd love a little narration about what the rooms were. Unlike some, I love when your camera looks out the windows, because it's the same basic view the Campbells of old would have seen. And the sound of the burns made the hair on my neck stand. Well done!

    I haven't seen you for a while. Dylan is on Christmas break from university? This was a nice walkthrough. You found a couple of the original toilets. I always wondered what people used to wipe their asses with back then. I know the Romans had slaves with sponges on a stick behind you but not here. Lol That may seem a bit odd to ask but it is just from historical perspective. Happy New Year!
