Hunting for History: Burn O'Vat (Old Kinord, Kinord Cross Pictish Stone, and more)
Welcome to Hunting for History! Today we are back to Aberdeenshire to visit Burn O'Vat - an unusual shaped granite rockface said to be of been carved and shaped during the ice age. Is this the case, or is there much more to this place than meets the eye?
We also visit some other interesting nearby areas. Thanks for joining us :)

Hunting for History: The Gegan (Seacliff Harbour, Auldhame Castle, and more)
We are back Hunting for History, and back for a third time to East Lothian, this time visiting a rock known as the Gegan.
This rock has some very interesting features, including the UK's smallest harbour, said to be cut from the rock itself, we're not so sure though. Come see that, 2 castles, a big rock and a wee bit wildlife as we go Hunting for History!

Old World Edinburgh 2 (Scott Monument, Priestfield Parish Church, Cowgate...)
Welcome to Old World Edinburgh 2!
Today we briefly visit Arthur's Seat before concentrating on Priestfield Parish Church and some interesting columns. Then we take a look at a lovely building in the Cowgate before turning to the main feature; the Scott Monument.
In this series, we will show various areas and buildings in Edinburgh that we think may be part of the old world; a civilization that existed before us, that may have built some of the buildings that share similar characteristics across the world.
If you haven't explored these theories before, it is a big rabbit hole! Here are some suggestions:

Hunting for History: Scotland's Pyramid (Prince Albert's Cairn, Balmoral Estate)
Is it possible this pyramid is built on an ancient structure?
Please join us as we visit Scotland's most famous pyramid; Prince Albert's Cairn at Balmoral Estate. We were actually only there to visit the monument for ourselves, we didn't expect to notice anything in terms of 'hidden history'. However, we just couldn't help but see a few anomalies - what do you think?
Also wee bonus a the end!
