Which castle do we see at 1:02?
This is great reporting. Hope you get more and more views. Your humor is pleasing and suitable. Please do more—perhaps further back to Newgrange, Hill of Tara, Rock of Cashel and Clonmacnoise.
Unfortunately, these aren’t current recordings. These are at least ten years old, I watched them a long while ago. They used to be on YouTube before, I don’t remember who the uploader was, but then they were taken down and I’ve honestly been looking for them every since. My favorite episode is the one with Leslie Castle, or whatever castle is owned by the Leslie family, and I’m so stoked that someone has gotten the rights to put them back into YouTube again after so many years!
Great job. Really welll done
