I found out recently that my great grandmother was from Stirlingshire scotland, it's now a huge dream to one day see the very land she may have walked on. Thank you so much for making this video

Unbelievable church and the ceiling made of wood was remarkable craftsmanship! The Cemetary was amazing. It is so very beautiful. And it is easy to see Scott’s value their history and the people who lived and died for their country mean a great deal. Thank you Matt for making and sharing this video most of us would otherwise never see👏🏼

Thats not to say there arnt people buried there from a good few hundred years before - as the man in the video said there had been churches on that site before but made of wood - older grave markings would most probably have been made of wood if marked at all

In Scotland you will find that a lot - even in larger parks in cities most of the part will be well cultivated but they try to leave a part to grow rather more wild as nature intended as it attracts more wildlife ,birds and insects as well as giving people a feel of what it must have been like before it was even a park

One day, I would LOVE to visit and spend some time in Scotland. I have lots of ancestors in my family tree who originally came from Scotland and Ireland, learned from my DNA that I'm almost half Scottish (surprise there) so yea, lots of Scots way back in my tree (Most of my family tree has been here in the States since the 1600-1700s). Beautiful cemetery and church, would loved to have been able to be there to look at all of the headstones.

@SpookyElectric319 4 жыл бұрын

You mean that you had ancestors who either came from, we’re born in, or lived in Scotland? I was born, bred and live in Scotland. All my ancestors were too. I’m Scottish. All these Americans claiming that ‘they’re half Scottish’ etc, etc.... they have Scottish ancestry.

Thank You for this delightful tour of Stirling's old cemetery. BUT, unfortunately, you missed the most intriguing location there. A small stone circle near the southern wall of the castle. Probably over 2,000 years old so this predates any of the other structures by many centuries. I hope to investigate this area soon and find out if it has been closely researched by Historic Scotland in recent years. - Or has it just been ignored like so many other prehistoric sites which have been incorporated in populated environments. There have been occations when urban development has dug up ancient monoliths and shifted them to a more 'convenient' location, thereby losing the whole importance of the reason why it is there.We are only gradually revealing our ancient heritage and piecing these fragmanted remains and history of our ancestors together.
