My grandmother was born in Aberdeenshire in 1892 and moved to Canada in 1912. She never made it back home to see her family. I’d love to go there.

I was born in Aberdeen and lived in many different places in Aberdeenshire and it is a genuinely beautiful part of the world.

I'm an Australian. Born and raised in Melbourne. My mum came from country Victoria. Her dad, my maternal grandfather, was born in Aberdeenshire Scotland. It's a very important part of my family heritage

Welcome to beautiful Aberdeenshire, I'm a native to Buchan and have spent my life exploring here and all over Scotland and I'm still discovering amazing places and sights. Truly a magical place...I'm glad you enjoy it too.

I quite like the idea of moving to Aberdeenshire next year. Stunning countryside

Hermoso video ,te envidio biem por los lugares que visitas Desde ARGENTINA HUGO

Thanks for the video

Stunning 🤩

Awesome place. Thanks for sharing.

look at the views from those castles wow

Great selection! Glad to see Dunnottar make the list…my favourite!

Amazing video!

Thank you for this lovely post! I'm Jamaican and my 3rd Great Grand-Father, Anson and his Brother, Edgar, migrated to Jamaica in the 1700s from Aberdeenshire. I hope to visit one day.

Tristeza deixar chegar a esse estado de abandono, verdadeiras obras de arte!!!!!!

Some great locations illustrated by well shot film and drone footage. Well done!

Beautiful!! I am looking forward to traveling to Aberdeenshire very soon.

Stunning footage - thanks for sharing!

Dunnottar, that's my family's old place 😊 My mum was a Keith, descended from a son of Robert Dunnottar, the Rev. James Keith, Colonial clergy, who sailed to America from Aberdeen in 1640s to set up a parish at Bridgewater Massachusetts where his parsonage still stands 😊 I've read he "filled New England with Keiths" including my Grampa Bill's greatgreatgreats😊 I never knew any of this until I retired in 2019 and jumped into Ancestry during Covid.I so wish my mum were still around to know it too, she'd have loved it!❤ Thanks for posting.

I recently supported a preserve in Aberdeenshire. What a beautiful place.

What a truly wonderful video. Thank you

I travel tomorrow to Aberdeen again from Falkirk for all day,cant wait,this area is amazing,great video😁✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Definitely the most beautiful place on earth. My bucket list to go.

Excellent video thanks for posting up, Aberdeenshire is a great place to stay

Great video, makes me want to get back to Scotland again👍

I agree Slains Castle is well worth the trip. We had the whole place to ourselves the day we visited in Sep 2019. And Dunnottar is spectacular. It may be my favorite of all the castles we visited in northeast Scotland.

Great quality, thank you 🙏🏾

Magnificent !!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗

What a great video! I have been to some of these locations, and now am looking forward with even more excitement to return there Very well done.

Spectacular places to visit in Aberdeenshire. Thank you so much for the video 👍👍

I live in lumsden and love this video . Thanks for sharing this.

What a great video, which shows magnificently on the big screen It certainly helps with us in lockdown again. Thanks for these

Incredible video.

A great video - thank you. I lived in Scotland most of my life and return every couple of years. These places are on the list for my next visit.

As an Aberdeen loon who left 55 years ago to live in Australia, this video has brought back many happy memories of my childhood there. I was born in Fittie, moved to Orchard St, lived in a prefab in Tillydrone and played in the grounds of St Machers Cathedral. Then on to Kincorth to Secondary school at Kaimhill. I remember well so many of the places you have shown here. Many thanks.

Thank you so much. I'm moving to University of Aberdeen this September and I'm very excited about it now!

What a wonderful video I just found! Congratulations on your good taste in filming these beautiful places with your drone. I'm going to travel to Scotland soon and this video was a lot of help, thank you

My Scottish ancestors are from Aberdeen! Clan Gillespie or Gillaspie was how it was pronounced.

Thank you so much for these videos. We Have managed to visit 5 of the places in this trip and they have all been spectacular! Have visited Aberdeenshire for many years but had never seen any of these magical places. Sincere thanks for making these videos, you have made this trip to Scotland the best holiday ever. Really appreciate you taking the time to share these hidden gems. Hope the move back to Texas goes well. Best wishes Lyndon and Susie

What a superbly presented video. We are staying in Pennan in a couple of weeks time and you have given me some great ideas for photography. Thanks.

Great video!!

Moving here this year. I’m pretty darn excited

I am here because I just traced my grandmas lineage, her maiden name is Carroll and just learned that Andrew First Lord Fraser of Muchalls is my 14th great grandfather and he finished the Castle Fraser build so now I really want to go see Castle Fraser

Thanks for the great video. My wife and I will be touring Scotland by motorcycle for 4 weeks in 2022. Great ideas for our trip, thx

Thanks for this interesting video.👍🍀😊

Man great video and channel. We stay here aswell and loved this video. Found places we have never ever been too and I have stayed here for 30 years thank you

May I congratulate you on this video; it shone a light on the serenity and wide open spaces of Aberdeenshire.

Nicely put together and portrayed.

Thank you for this. In my early twenties I lived near Aberdeen for several years and knew nothing about most of these places.

beautiful video 🌺

Wow! So glad to see that slains is your favorite. My dream is to see that castle in person. It was once owned by clan Hay once upon a time ago and is a big part of our heritage. I am a Hay. My grandfather moved from Scotland 70 years ago. Awesome video, all of aberdeenshire looks amazing and you presented it very well!

My name is Dustin Keith. My 18th great grandfather built the first stone keep at Dunnottar. I was fortunate enough to visit in 2019 and I’m going back this September. This video is absolutely amazing. I think you so much for taking the time and putting it together, I’m going to visit every location!

That was a fantastic guide to sights around Aberdeen. I'm planning a visit to Scotland and am weighing up where to go and Aberdeen was on my maybe but you could probably pass it up list. After seeing this I think it's moving to my yeah going here list

wow that was a stunning video , my grandmother came from Aberdeenshire .

I have liniage tracing back to the Burnetts at Crathes Castle. 🏰 I love genealogy !!

You lucky!! My great grandmother was born in Echt near Aberdeen. Looks beautiful.

I was born in Aberdeenshire.. still have plenty of family there. Love the video.

Nice video, great effort. I lived three years in Aberdeen City, I enjoyed Newburgh beach and Stonehaven (and Dunnottar Castle) so much.

I lived in Aberdeenshire for 10 years and never knew many of these places existed. We take things for granted too much. I read that there was once 2-3000 castles in Scotland. 🎉 Thanks for posting and hope you and your family come back one day. 😇🥳🤣

I was born in Ellon in 1960 - but only because Peterhead didn't have a maternity hospital then! Although I left the area in 1973 I'm still a "Buchan Loon" - my attachment to North East Scotland is very strong. I had a feeling Slains might be your fav spot. My own children are in their 30s now and I took them to Slains from an early age. During our infrequent visits now from our homes in Midlothian, a visit to Slains is always on our list. Thank you for posting such an interesting, high quality, video.

most excellent content Harlie Raethel. I killed that thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the superior work.

Aberdeen is beautiful!

I visited Slains Castle by chance as i had some time due to a change in my flight time back home. I must ssy that it was special, we were the only ones visiting it and it was so peaceful in contrast to the rough sea below. We parked in a small parking space and walked through a small forest to get to it. Recommend to visit. We also visited the Stonehaven Castle it is nice but crowded with tourists.

Wonderful Video

If you haven't already been, I'd suggest the view at Gannochy gorge, which is just a few minutes drive before Edzell if coming from the Fettercairn direction. It's beautiful in autumn - a red carpet of leaves. Also has a nice walk. In warmer times, also nice to visit Crovie village (it's really a hamlet, a short row of houses literally at the beach) up at the far most north of Aberdeenshire.

it's pronounced tahoon, nice video guys, i live here too, ill see the ones ive not strolled around yet! lived in melbourne for a few years too! loved it!

Excellent video!! I would love to visit as I love grand old buildings. Some of my wife’s ancestors were killed in the Battle of Aberdeen in 1644. We live in the US.

Nice video, I’ve lived in Aberdeenshire, and I haven’t even been to a few of these! Heads up though: Gight = gi-cht (gi is like a gih sound) Tolquhon = t’ho-en (think ti-horn without the R) If your at tolquhon castle, it’s always nice to check out the Tarves heritage project, and murly tuck (when everything opens again) And for Gight the food at the Ythan view is also good and worth a wee visit :-)

I’d add Glentanar, Invercauld Estate, Ballater, Gardenstown, in fact too many nice places to visit As I’m Aberdeen born and bred it sometimes takes a video like this to get me out visiting again. Thanks.

Great video.

Harlie , well done sir , superb scenery and flying. Just got my mini 3 Pro and wonder how long it will take to come up to your standard. Video editing being the next challenge. Thank you.

Hey guys, awesome I now have land 😂 in Ardallie

I lived in Aberdeen for 3 years and wished to go back again to the heavenly place … I recommend you to have hot And delicious Stake Bake from Greggs in the Union street .. kids love them

Nice to see my local area through the eyes of someone new to the area. Great shots from the drone, well done Also try walking the coastal path north of Slains Castle and visit The Bullers o' Buchan where the sea has cut into the cliffs in a very dramatic way (again take care near the edge) It's another couple of miles but there's a car park there as well.

I liked your video but was surprised not to see Drum Castle on your list.

Great video, i wonder, have you been to any of the pre-historic stone circles in Aberdeenshire ? I have read somewhere that NE Scotland has the highest concentration of stone circles anywhere in the world. East Aquhorthies ( near Inverurie) is one i would recommend p.s. good luck with the pronounciation of it :D

Thanks mate ... that was awesome. You sound like an Aussie? Taking my family to Scotland soon to Aberdeenshire ... Banff in particular.

Born in Aberdeen and grow up around it

The North Sea where I grew up in between 1957 until 1989 was so awe inspiring. Live in London but when I travel home I deliberately take the train from Kings Cross to Aberdeen. From about Edinburgh to Aberdeen you have the North Sea all the way on your right. So when you book tickets make sure you sit on the right going north and left travelling south. Born in Aberdeen. Oh I loved the video but be careful it is a SEA not an OCEAN which you describe near the end. It is the North Sea. Great video. Oceans are ATLANTIC, PACIFIC. INDIAN. ARCTIC, SOUTHERN OCEAN. I suppose you could add one more; BILLY OCEAN. 😜😜😜Some argue you can break up the Atlantic and Pacific into North and South each. Geography lesson over. I used to have a nickname. MISTER-KNOW-IT-ALL LOL😊😊😊😊😊Drive my wife and family and friends bonkers.

My burnett family own Crathes castle,Muchales castle and Mondo house. I’m a Decendant of burnett of Leys.

Beautiful ....I would love to live in your neighbour.

My grandmother is from Aberdeen.

Very beautiful! Out of curiosity where did you move from?

Looks

Bullers of Bunchen

Some of my Scottish ancestors came from Tarland/Migvie/logie coldstone area so that first castle corse castle is super close to that.

No Gordon Castles?

How did you get to just move and live in Aberdeenshire ?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It will always be Kininvie castle to a Leslie

A excellent informative video to say the least. However, no Craigievar Castle on your list? Surely a mistake as it's one of the best and most beautiful looking castles in Aberdeenshire. Not to forget being steeped in history! Maybe I am slightly bias because it's my favourite castle ever, and I work in many castles in England, but surely it deserves to be in there. My opinion anyway. I am visiting Craigievar again (after 8 years) in September, when I tour Scotland for 2 weeks and thus film for my channel. MR

Man I want a castle In Scotland...

U miss the castle where Queen spent her last days.

This is my local area. I mine a time fan me an ma pal wint speedin aroon Fyvie Castle in her Feesti XR twa. Aye min, at wis 27 year ago ana.

Good job, I'll even forgive your pronouncing of Gight.

मुझे,ऐसी,जगहा,बहुत,पसंद,है,👌💋❤️💋🤩😘😘😘

Unfortunately you got newburgh at the wrong time, it's far better at low tide, ship wrecks and ww2 bunkers in the sand dunes.

Everyone needs salvation here are the words of salvation please forgive me jesus im a sinner come into my heart and save me from my sin I no that you are the savior and I no that you died for me on calvary and I no that God raise you from the dead and you are alive and I thankyou for your salvation in Jesus holy name amen and its important to always ask for forgiveness every night

Why would William Wallace be infamouse he fought for his country in less you are English

Gight is pronounced g ick t Tolquhon is pronounced Tol hone

You may as well leave there nothing here
