Droughtlander welcomes us once again, but not for long! Blood of my Blood will be here for summer! The first teaser has dropped, & we saw mere seconds of Balvaird’s feature! I cannot wait to finally see the role it plays… & for who. ___________________________________________ You can explore Balvaird Castle with me on one of my varied 1-Day or Multi-Day Outlander tours 📧:[email protected] •____________________________________________ I have conducted as much research on the castle itself for both my tours & out of curiosity, but so much remains unknown: It isn’t known for certain when Balvaird Castle was built, but it did belong to the Murray’s of Balvaird. It’s estimated it could have been built sometime around 1500. At the time they were a wealthy aristocratic family that was climbing the social ladder. They lived in this castle for about 150 years, & were always remodelling & extending it. Some structures of the castle can be dated to the early 1500s, the 1560s, even through to the early 1600s. Alongside the 4-story tower house, you can see the remnants of courtyards, service buildings, & even a walled garden. The Balvairds did eventually leave for Scone in 1658, & so their castle then transferred to housing accommodation for the farm hands.

Continuing the countdown to HALLOWEEN with a repost of my favourite witch monument in all of Scotland, Maggie Wall. What’s fascinating about this monument, other than the look of it, is how little is known about Maggie. & by little known, I mean hardly anything at all. Something else I’ve learned recently is that the Dunning Historical Society has been trying to find out who repaints the letters every single year since the 1990s. They’ve never had a single lead. I’ve had a great conversion with them recently. Who knows, maybe my work with Maggie Wall isn’t done…• 📧:[email protected]📸:@holeynheritage.photography 📍:Maggie Wall Monument, Dunning ______________________________________________ ••#witch #witchcraft #witchhunt #memorial #folklore #magic #witchesofinstagram #witches #scottishhistory #tourguide #sassenachhistorian #sassenach #scottishcastle #history #outlander #scotland #scottishcollective #simplyscotland #undiscoveredscotland #yourscotland #visitscotland #thisisscotland #lovescotland

& it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Scotland called to me, for some unknown reason, & I just knew, I was meant to call it home. So I do. I now only long for all that is to come 🤍 I am so happy that part of my job is getting to share pieces of my life here with you. I hope so far, you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have & that I get to bring a piece of Scotland to all of you 🏴_____________________________________________ ••#sassenach #sassenachhistorian #outlander #scotland #livingabroad #livingthedream #edinburgh #visitscotland #simplyscotland #ig_edinburgh #ig_scotland #scottishighlands #tourguide #highlandcow #glencoe #moodygrams #explore #yourscotland #history #historian
