 Scotland is known for its stunning castles, but this one behind me really takes the make of. This is the Daun Otter Castle, a fortress on the east coast of Scotland near Stonehaven at Aberdeenshire. If you previously visited the Daun Otter Castle please let me know in the comment below. Whilst you're there what is your favourite castle in Scotland? Needless to say, if you're planning on visiting Scotland this summer or if you're Scottish and you haven't been here before. Gylwtio'r llwyr yn ymdweud. Rwy'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'r llwyr. Rwy'n gweithio, mae'n gweithio'n gweithio. Ond mae'r hystod o'r rhai cyfnodol? Mae'r bydau hynny o'r bydau mae'n bywyr ar 15 o 16 oed. Ond y ffordd o'r anhygoel yw'r awdurdod yma o'r awdurdod, mae'r bydau yn ymddangos o'ch cyfnod o'r bydau. Yn ymddangos ymddangos o'r rhaid o'r Casol Nôr yn y 7 oed, yn y anol o Ulster, yn 681 yn 694 AD. Rwy'r cwysig wedi'i gweithio'r ddun ffoilau. Alw'r hynny'n dweud o'r ddun ffoilau'r hynny, mae'n mynd i'r ddweud o'r ddweud. Mae'n rhaid i'n rhaid i'r ddun o'r castel. Alw'r ddweud o'r ddun o'r cwysig, mae'n rhaid i'n rhaid i'n rhaid i'r Pigtish King i'r King o'r 42, rhaid i'n rhaid i'n rhaid i'r Pigtish Kingdoms, King Brydi, son of Belly, whos dduring this time, was probably looking to extend his power. Alw'n dweud ofdyn byw Picland is one unitary kingdom, one unitary state. The reality was, at various points in the history of the Picks and Picland, there was various kingdoms or provinces of Picks, potentially seven that is a number often quoted. There does seem to be some sort of Pigtish over kingship as such, or in a modern context, some sort of federal structure over the states of America, if you want to view it that way. There were separate Pigtish kingdoms, but then some sort of over kingship, kingship, sorry, seemed to develop. And this potentially these sieges of the castle behind me, or the fortress behind me that the castle was later built upon, may have been part of this unification or checking arrival power. Just north of Dunedor Castle is the sea stack of Dunacare, an ancient Pigtish fort, part of which has fallen into the sea over the centuries. This is considered one of Scotland's oldest Pigtish forts, and it was quite a sight in its day. The University of Aberdeen a few years ago released an animation of what the fort may have looked like in its day. It was likely built for a king, and it was a show of strength and power. But let's turn our attention back to the Dunoddor Castle. There are numerous interesting elements in the history of Dunoddor Castle. In the 5th century AD, St Nynion, an early Christian missionary, established a chapel on the site of Dunoddor. According to the Chronicles of the Kings of Aliphar, Donald II of Scotland was killed at Dunoddor during a Viking raid in 900 AD. Given the geography of this location right on east coast of Scotland, overlooking the North Sea, it would have been numerous run-ins with the Vikings over the centuries. In the 10th century, the first king of England, Ethelstan, led a force into Scotland in 934 AD, and is said to have reached as far as Dunoddor. The poet Blind Harry relates the William Wallace captured Dunoddor from the English in 1297 during the First Scottish War of Independence. He is said to have imprisoned 4,000 defeated English soldiers in the church and burned them alive. Around 1359, William Keith, Marshal of Scotland, married Margaret Fraser, the niece of Robert the Bruce, and was granted the barony of Dunoddor at this time. William Keith completed construction of the tower house at Dunoddor. William Keith's descendants were made Eirol's Marshal, a peerage in Scotland, in the mid 15th century, and they held Dunoddor until the 18th century. In 1531, James V exempted Eirol's men from military service on the grounds that Dunoddor was one of the principal strengths of our realm. Two decades later in 1581, George Keith succeeded as fifth Eirol Marshal and began a large-scale reconstruction that saw the medieval fortress converted into a more comfortable home. A pet lion is said to have been brought to the castle and housed in what is known as the Lion's Den. The castle behind me also played a significant role in the English Civil Wars and the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. On the 1st of January 1951, King Charles II was crowned at Schoon and the owners of Scotland, the regalia of the crown, the sword and the sceptre, were used in the ceremony. Oliver Cromwell's troops were in Lothian however, and the owners of Scotland couldn't be returned to Edinburgh at that time. In June, the privy council met and they decided to take the owners of Scotland to the Nautr Castle. George Ogilvey was put in charge of safeguarding the castle and the owners of Scotland were brought by Catherine Drummond into the castle in bags of wool, hidden in bags of wool. The castle soon came under blockade by Cromwell's forces. The owners, one way or another, were eventually smuggled out, piece by piece, and they were taken to an old Cork and Cinnath, nearby just south of this location of Stonehaven. When Cromwell's forces had enough power to take the castle, they raided the castle and searched the grounds, but the owners of Scotland weren't found. When Charles II was restored to the crown in 1660, the owners of Scotland were taken from Cinnath, the old Cork and Cinnath, and given back to the crown. The Nautr Castle also played a role in the Jacobite Risings. In the Jacobite Rising of 1715, George Keith of the Keith family played a leading role at the Battle of Sheriff Muir. After the rising was eventually suppressed, George Keith fled to the continent and eventually became the French ambassador to Frederick the Great of Prussia. Talk about landing on your feet. After Keith had fled to the continent, the government seized the Nautr Castle and his other estates. The castle was sold to the York Mining Company in 1716. As we have seen, the history of the Nautr Castle is as special as the castle itself. Speaking of the history of Scotland, what is the genetic history of Scotland? To find out, please click here.
