I feel horrible that I know nothing of my Scottish ancestors other than a few sir names. I was blessed to visit Scotland in 1983 and immediately felt at home on highlands. Very strange feeling. I dream of returning, armed with the names of my ancestors, to do research to find that part of my deepest roots. Thank you for letting me explore with you from my lounge in Southern California.

Shaun you never let me down. I'm absolutely loving your Outlander vlogs, the kilt, the accent, just brilliant. What an ambassador for Scotland! You deserve a part in Season 4.

It’s fascinating! How sad is it that we have to seek out history? It seems like we should learn about the big rebellions in elementary school.

How awesome, sad and beautiful is it that a television drama brought such history back to life, replenished those stories creating new narrative. 💜💙💚💜💙💚

Culloden Battlefield looks hauntingly beautiful. My ancestors of Clan Oglivy and Clan Farquharson fought there with Prince Charlie. It's good to see that Outlander has brought these places to the forefront so more people can learn the history behind them. Can't wait to see the next tour vlog!

After reading Diana's Outlander I actually emailed her and asked about Craig Na Dun due to the fact we had been to Scotland in 2003 to visit some of the Outlander places mentioned in the book. People in Inverness thought I was nuts trying to ask about the non existent place. The best they could do was send us to Clava Cairns which we did visit. We also made it to Culloden Moore which was awesome and hired a tour guide to take us around. Dianna told me in her email that Craig Na Dun only existed in her mind. She had never been to Scotland when she wrote the book, Outlander. So not sure where she based her idea for the stones. But glad she wrote all the books. Loved them dearly and have read and reread each of them many times.

A bit earlier, since Brave and Braveheart. I first was introduced to Celtic culture through the Corrs. But I picked up bits and pieces of both Celtic and Norse history and culture. When I heard of Scottish songs in Gaelic, I simply fell in love. I've also heard of Suo Gan in Empire of the Sun.

My heart goes out on this video as well as my prayers for those who have fallen

Just went to Culloden during my trip in early October. It was a very emotional stop on the trip. Our day was cold with driving rain, much like the day of the battle. Really brought it home how my ancestors lived and died. Great video.

Visited Culloden for the first time as a visitor from Australia in September 2012. The grass wasn't worn away infront of the Fraser stone then, and I found it a truly humbling experience. We stayed at a lovely BnB in Inverness and I fell in love with the town and the beautiful people. Can't wait to come back one day and find my Scotts connections. (My Great Great Grandmother was born in Edinburgh and I just felt like I was home when I was walking the streets of Edinburgh and Inverness). Thanks for these vids Shaun, really enjoying them.

How nice it was to see the Clava Cairn again! My late husband and I were there in '80, on the afternoon of the autumn equinox. We had the grove pretty much to ourselves, 'cause most folks were having tea (including our cab driver, who dropped us off and came back for us when he and his wife were done with tea). In that third mound, the one farthest from the parking area, I saw the images of two men. The first was badly injured with a gut wound, stumbling around unarmed. The second was armed and he teased the wounded man and finally killed him. Then both of them disappeared. Later, back in Inverness, I told Kenny about what I'd seen. Turns out he'd seen the same thing as I did, only about 20 minutes earlier. Given the site's proximity to the battlefield, I expect this was the thing called "residual haunting", which doesn't involve a ghost or spirit. It's just that some areas seem to absorb strong emotions--like in violent encounters--and then play them back, always the same actions. Dunno why it happens, but both of us saw it and felt the emotions of both the victim and the killer. The stone circle was something else, too!

That might not have been a haunting.... More than likely it was just a couple of the local culloden tinks having a dispute about a deal - happens all the time.

So a couple points...craig na Dun is a hillside in Perthshire near Kinloch Rannoch and next to the Schielhallion Mountains (which by the way was Sam's first Munro. From the top of the hill that is Crag na Dun you can see Loch Rannoch which was the view Claire looked over looking for Inverness when she was back in time and realized there were no lights were Inverness should be. The stones used at Crag na Dun are made by the studio but the move them to the hillside for filming. There are markers on the hill where the stones get placed. It was one of the most recognizable locations from the show...even without the stones. It was sunny but Gale force winds when I was there and a little eerie. As for Clava Cairns, the split stone there is where Diana's picture for her book jacket was taken. Both locations are amazing.

I was able to visit Scotland in 2018. My brother was working there for about 2 years in Thurso. We flew into Inverness and visited both Culloden and "Craigh Na Dun". It was nice to see it again. I love your beautiful country. We were there for 10 days and stayed mainly in the Highlands with a side trip to Edinburgh to see the Tattoo. Wonderful trip.

It happened during the Revolutionary War, too, although it is probably better known about the Civil War. There were a lot of people who wanted to remain British subjects, and they did fight their rebel neighbors and relatives. Politics sadly always divides people like this, especially when major societal values are at stake, and being closely related to someone never guarantees holding the same opinions.

In watching a recent interview about the filming of the Battle of Culloden for season three, episode one, I learned that the Jacobite reenactment group, of which your hotel owner is a member, took part as extras on the field.

Thanks for bringing back the memories. Culloden and Clava Cairns are both magical places that I visited in my short stay in Scotland a couple years ago. I would say however that the nearby Easter Aquhorthies stone circle was much more reminiscent of Craig na Dun for me. perhaps because it is atop a hill or perhaps because I visited at sunset and it had an incredible serene glow.

My mother is from Glasgow & my father is a Scouse but moved to Dumbarton when he was 14. They moved to the US & I am a first Gen American. My parents have taught us so much about Scottish history that I find I know more than my cousins who all live there still. Old songs, Gaelic, places to go besides tourist spots, ect.. I love that when we come visit family, I teach them a bit of history. I never want to forget where my ancestry is! I teach my children as well!

I was in Scotland 2016, Roadtrip with 2 friend and we visited Culloden. it was an eerie experience, very intense. An atmosphere so depressing and heavy, sometimes I thought I could still feel the sadness, pain and rage in the air. A beautifull sunny day, a lot of visitors... and nobody was talking loud,all people just whispered or were completely silent. I laid some flowers down, not on the Clan stones, because I felt I have no right for this, but at the big monument. I have read the books, loved them, but I never watched the TV show, but I still fell in love with scotland, especially the north and the Cairngorms. There is so much beauty, and the feel of mystery is everywere around you. I never will never forget the night I've stood above the Smoo Cave in Durness near midnight, alone, watching the rest of light ant the horizon and enjoying the silence. Lets say, now I know why people believe in special things...

The country in itself and the history of the land in itself is enough to fall in love with it. Thank you for mentioning Smoo cave, the name jogged my memory, I looked it up, and I realised that is the same cave I visited 8 years ago. A mysterious place indeed, though I wasn't lucky enough to visit it in the evening. And I remember the cliff outside, where tourists write their own names or that of loved ones, with the pebbles they gathered from the river.

Clan Lamont. Scotland is such a ruggedly beautiful country. My wife and I got married on Skye, did two weeks in Scotland last August with a quick day trip to Hadrian's Wall. We visited Culloden and the Clava Cairns while in Inverness. Culloden is a very sobering experience, Clava is incredible. Can't wait to go back, so much history in a country the size of the state of my neighbor, Maine. Well done!

Loved your reaction to our lovely midges. I go to Bien glas farm campsite often but last year I missed a trip. On my return the following month the midges were all over me. Never had a problem with them before. To summarise, I think they are quite affectionate wee beasts and obviously missed me. I drink ale at the drovers when Im there so Im sure the midges are well hungover from drinking my blood.

I went with my friends by the end of October and it was absolutely beautiful. It´s very worth it to go and see it under autumn colours. We didn´t have a car so we walked from Culloden to Clava Cairns, it takes 30 min aprox. :)

Those are Pict tombs! We climbed through a few while we were in the Highlands. There is another single in a cow pasture about 5 miles or so away fro the main stone site you were at. My husband and I crawled inside and were very careful. Then at Clava some stupid people let them kids climb all over the tomb and they started picking up the rocks and throwing them. I said very loudly that it would be a shame if they took home an ancient Pictish curse because they let their kids be assholes lol They made their kids get down after that. That place is super cool though because the tombs are from different time periods.

I am new to your channel....thanks to youtube for recommending it. I have always been drawn to Scotland (way before Outlander was a thing). Scotland is on my bucket list of places to go. I knew of some of the battles and history of Scotland. But here in the US...we sadly don't get taught much. Thanks to the internet though, I have looked up many things and talked to many people from all over the world. It is important to remember all sides of history. I am just glad that places like Culloden Battlefield are around still....for they can be visited and those who died remembered. But thank you for going to these places and showing what the rest of us have really missed.

I still can't believe I was born exactly to the day 251 years after this battle. It just gives me an interesting feeling.

I found it to be truly heart wrenching to see the effort Jamie and Claire made to prevent this battle only to have it be a place of a great massacre. If Bonny Prince Charles was portrayed correctly, he seemed to be a nice guy but with narcissistic tendencies. His insistence that God was on his side makes one wonder to whom was he truly listening. BTW, the actor who portrayed Prince Charles was excellent.

Thank you so much for sharing!!!!! So beautiful indeed!!

They know good meat! The Scotts are the best! To get serious, I wish to thank you for the tour. My husband and myself have strong ties to the Battlefield. My family lost Laird Shamus MacPhearson within the first 90 minutes of the Battle. My husband's family faired better Laird Angus MacTavish came home to his wife seriously wounded but pulled through. Our wish is to go to Scotland one day. Thank you once again 💐

I don't know the reason you wore your Kilt on this trip, but I think it was very appropriate and respectful. To see these places with someone that is Scottish and lives here, makes this, for me at least, very moving. It's not seeing it through some director's eyes, but through your eyes. Thank you for sharing your perspective and time.

Shaun, recently I challenged you to *Be There* wherever you go. In childhood my parents took me to visit a battle site here (USA) and told me to understand that the plants growing all around are nourished by the soil that holds the elements which made up those who were buried there. They told me to not just look at the trees and grass, but breathe in the oxygen that they made and be thankful for all that had gone before us. As you walk the streets of Edinbrough and it's Grand Old Buildings (you lucky young pup) try to take in consideration the architects, the stone cutters, the masons, and the myriad feet that have trod those floors. And Be There. When you get to New York and are among the city folk swarming like midges, Be There. The towering buildings are only structures,and few of them have much history, it's the totality of the hive that makes NYC what it is. But Ellis Island was the entry point for masses seeking something New and Wild here. They wanted to Be There. Regards, Jay. Being Here.

After the battle was over the North made the Southerners wait over a week before they could collect their dead for burial. They were not allowed to be buried in any local cemetery. The energy of those who died there, is still there. I expect Culloden would be the same.

When I first saw the Craig na dun I was immediately reminded of the stone circle on the Orkney islands that I visited way back in 2015. Only that circle is a lot bigger and the site is covered with heather. Amazing such old.places.

I went to both of these locations a couple weeks ago and it honestly was an amazing experience. Not only because of Outlander, but also because of how much you learn from the history of the place. Would love to go back someday.

Thank you Shaun for sharing the discovery of your heritage. My trip to Scotland is next year about this time and I appreciate your virtual help in planning what to see and do.

The revolutionaries of 1789 massacred the royal guard who didn't even defend themselves. Then when the revolutionaries took power, a ten years of bloodbath, massacres, even genocide happened. The new government would kill you if you neighbor accused you of being royalist, even if you were not. The new government also sent SS-like troops in Vendée (a region of France known for being royalist) and massacred everyone, from the babies to the old ladies. They used to tie rocks to their feet and throw them in rivers so the kids would suffer before dying, and kill with spears those who managed to get back to the surface. And that was just the public orders, so imagine the top secret ones. The Vendéen people defended themselves despite being peasants against trained soldiers, and yet they won some battles. They captured some revolutionary soldiers and freed those who had promessed to not take part among the massacres. The free revolutionaries, despite their promess, came back the next day with reinforcements and massacred everyone, and increased the killings, the rapes, the lootings, the arsons, etc, in Vendée. The revolutionary governement orders were "massacre this sub-race till the last". It was French genociding other French, yet from the same ethnicity, for the revolution. Same happened a century later in Russia. This time it caused 20 millions innocent deaths. Do you still say "vive la révolution" ?

The Cairngorms and Aviemore are my favourite places on earth. So peaceful and magicsl

The weather is beautiful!.

Of the Government (Red Coat) army, 16 infantry battalions were present, four were Scottish units and one was Irish. Clan Campbell - the perennial enemies of the MacDonalds and most of the Highland clans - and Munro's were the only clans. Of the Jacobites, the vast majority were Highland clansman except for Boyd's of Kilmarnock (Lowlanders) and Edinburgh Stewarts with a sizable force of Irish piquets (Fitzjames Horse) , the Royal Écossais (Scots unit within the French army) and 6th Guise foot (French). John Prebble and Sir Fitzroy Maclean have both written brilliant accounts of the battle.

I haven't watched Outlander yet but seeing all of these locations from the show and your amazing drone footage of Scotland makes me want to visit all the more.

Thanks for taking us there Shaun :)

I moved to the highlands in March this year, I absolutely love Scotland, have Scottish ancestry, I visited here not long ago, loved it, only 18 miles from where I live, I’ve visited many of the outlander filming locations a few years ago but I’m crazy about outlander so I always go and explore on my days off….great video 👌

I have a deep emotional reaction to Scotland, especially bagpipes & kilts ~ just so happens my birth name initials are KLT ~ So lovely to be escorted by Shaun to these memorable sites. I am heart inspired to set foot on Scottish soil ~ soon ~ Thank you Shaun for caring **

I started itching myself as you were fighting off the midges. Ahhhhh. The Cairngorms are so pretty! I was just there and fortunately it was sunny that day. Seriously breathtaking. Thanks again for making all of these location videos.

I will say that the crowds now may be from Outlander fans, but Culloden was more crowded when we visited in June of 1996. It was still an incredibly humbling experience. We also visited the Clava Cairns on our trip. That stop was not on our tour schedule as the cairns were not completely open to the public at the time. Our tour bus driver surprised us all, and royally upset the tour director, by stopping at an old farm house and going up to ask the landowners’ permission for us to see the cairns. I can’t be certain, but I really think the old farm house was in the area where the car parking is now. I remember having to hike only a little way from the house and barns and coming in more from the east side of the cairns. But that was a lifetime ago. We were the only people there, our group of about 12 tourists, and it truly was a magical experience!

You showed my Clans marker, McIntosh(although it is spelled different). Just stumbled on your Channel and really enjoying it. Huge Outlander fan and always been very into and interested in Scottish history, as my Great Grandmother was a genealogist and historian and started telling me stories of our families history since I was little. My family on my mothers side is pretty much all Scottish, other then that from my fathers side I’m 25% Cherokee Indian. I love that Outlander has gotten more people interested in the history of Scotland and things like Bonnie Prince Charlie and The Battle of Culloden. I can not wait to visit Scotland my husband and I plan to take our son on a trip there very soon. I have even started teaching my son who is 8 Scottish Gaelic. It’s very important to me that he understand his heritage and honors it. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos!

We are from Nova Scotia (New Scotland) Canada, where many Scots settled more than two hundred years ago. We have been to Scotland a few times and hope to return this autumn, with Outlander sites another reason to visit. In Pictou County, Nova Scotia, where many of the Scots did settle after the battle and the brutal times in later years, there is a large cairn which gives the names of three men who fought in Culloden and survived and later settled in Nova Scotia; the three are buried there. The Gaelic language is making a revival here especially in the highlands of Cape Breton, N.S., so called because they resemble the highlands of Scotland. The scenery and the vastness of Scotland and the people keep us going back whenever we can. Thanks Shaun for all the bits of information you have for all of us.

Thats great to hear Jan about oor brethern across the watter! Our people has always been Scotland's greatest export. I am an Anglo Scot residing in England with my family coming from Aberdeenshire. Clan Maclaren is our clan. Jacobites!

Shaun, indeed, Diana Gabaldon did use Clava Cairns as the inspiration for Craig na Dun. There is a picture of her there between one of the split stones on one of her book covers. One of your countrymen, Hugh G. Allison, authored a book called Culloden Tales. Besides being a former docent at the battlefield and one of the designers of the facility, he gives historic and other sorts of tour, including Outlander tours. He has even given a tour to Diana Gabaldon herself! He is a wealth of knowledge and a class act, so can tell you exactly how and why they believe the cairns were built. (He can tell you more accurately than I, but it had to do with light at sunrise coming into the center chamber only two days a year - on the Summer and Winter Solstices which is when they would take the cremated remains of their loved ones to touch the light so that they could begin their journey into the afterlife.) Go see Hugh!

Amazing, Shaun!

I wish i had known about Culloden when I visited Inverness - what an amazing place. I was surprised to learn it is not taught in History books Thank you for bringing this to light!

was fortunate enough to visit in 2019. so glad I got to, thank u for preserving it.

Thank you for bring brave and taking midge bites for us. You and wife are so brave!

My roommate and I just started the Outlander series (I know I'm late) and I'm starting to see how beautiful the Scottish landscape is and maybe..just maybe come to visit :) I don't know much about Scotland except the beauty I see on the screen and I would love to see a ritualistic dance like the one in the first Outlander season at Craig la dunh(?)!

your so lucky to see these areas, my budget does not allow, got to start saving, wanna go to Scotland before I die

I really enjoy your videos my friend. I’m a huge fan of the show Outlander and have roots in Ireland and Scotland myself. I’m looking forward to more videos of you and I’ll continue to support your channel!

I miss Scotland😭 I went there one year ago and did a lot of hiking and visited a few cities.. even though the weather was a bit (lot) rainy and windy I loved it so much, it added sth special to our trip😱 I've always been fascinated by this country😍 That's why I really really love your channel😻

The rain brings the colours out. In the rain the greens are brighter and the purples are brighter yellows are brighter. You get the drift. Cheers enjoy your day

I've benn there About 13 years ago...It's so impressive and motianl...Loved it

So beautiful! This vid gave me chills

Shaun, que maravilhoso lugar. eu me emocionei ao ver a Bandeira da Scotland, e ver o local onde foi a Batalha de Culloden. Está Serie Outlander nos ensina amar a causa Jacobita, a liberdade e amar este maravilhoso país. Eu gostei também também de saber que aí tem midges, como aqui, Lol....

2 thumbs up for wearing the Campbell tartan kilt!!

Amazing sharing of the history of Scotland. Great narrative given by you Shaun. You must be really interested in it.
