Wonderful to learn about the history of artworks and architecture of Castle Leslie.

Colonial pirates 🇮🇪

Very interesting video and history.

The Irish Parliament was abolished in order to accomplish Catholic Emancipation, which culd not wait for the anti-Catholic Irish Parliament to allegedly reform itself.

leftover Afrikaaners. They love the Aarish. Such amusing folk, don't you know 🤔

Wonderful to see Anita Leslie. Loved the insight from her book Train to Nowhere.

I would love to see this entire series.

Decay. Rot. Death. Isolation. These houses were fun (for the lords.) when the lords had an army of desperate slaves to wait on them, hand and foot.

Clan Leslie also had Gaelic roots in Scotland, as they were descended from Macolm III, a Gael and King of Scotland.

Humour the pleasantry 😂

The English lower class have 500 words 😂😂😂

How extraordinary!! Was thinking of Aggie these last few days and then here I see you posted this!!

So lovely to see the one & only Lucy Lambton.

I still have Anita Leslie's 'Edwardians in Love' on my bookshelf. Beautifully written and fascinating.

Is this the same family of the that guy Desmond Leslie who had an interest in UAPs {aks UFOs back in the 60s and 70s?

They left a great legacy it should be cherished.

====================================== 07:08 reminds me of a similar, less grand, throne ====================================== at Trengwainton, Penzance, home of Colonel Sir Edward Bolitho, LL of Cornwall, which once served my needs well! / I would be very much at home at Castle Leslie. My ancestors have had various homes and castles, such as Macleod of Assynt and Macleod of Cadboll, which is why in 1984 I went post-haste to Castle Ardross in the hope of buying a castle so close to Invergordon Castle, where my great-grandmother was born. Sadly, it was not to be! / Edwards's father, Major Simon Bolitho, could remember dancing in the Great Hall at Ardross, as a young man before WW2. With it's hammer beams and minstrel's gallery, it definitely appealed to me! / Two of my Macleod ancestors were knighted by ( later to be ) King Charles II for leading 1,000 Macleods at the Battle of Worcester. Sadly a defeat, one ended up in the Tower of London, though he escaped. As hearing the pipes raises my Highland blood, I have since childhood wanted a castle and personal piper! Perhaps in my next life, in a less Marxist time? /

Thank you very much indeed for sharing all these storys from Castle Leslie. Best Wishes

God decides nothing

He edited the Adamski books

The only problem with lovely tree s are the roots sup up all the moisture from the ground the earth becomes very dry this is when cracks appear on the walls of your property then the foundations get weak it happened to me and I do not live in a massive home

The oldest aristocratic families in England and Scotland were, like the Leslie's, Roman Catholic: the Fitzalan-Howard's, Crichton-Stuart's, Stourton's, Parker Bowles's, and more. These so-called "Recusants" kept the faith through 300yrs of anti-Catholic laws. Respect❤

It's an amazing place. Genuine friendship and personal service. Did some horseriding there and coming back through the lake was thrilling. ❤

There`s a far worse foreign colonisation of Ireland happening right now in 2024 with nary a shot fired in resistance.

Fascinating period piece - thank you for posting it.

Is Castle Leslie still in the family?

Glaslough is a lovely village that the Leslies created !

The Leslies always had a certain variant to the rest of the Anglo aristocracy ! They seem to march to a different drum !

Amazing video.

First around the world ?!?

Planters in the Republic multi cultural Ireland 🇮🇪 shows way forward post GFA welcome Northern Ireland new beginning !

We 've stayed many times in this wonderful place, both in The Castle and the Lodge. Full marks to "Sammy" for the restoration. It is an unique residence totally unlike any of the other so called pretentious Irish castle hotels. The genuine article RIP Jack Leslie.

Thank god they don't rule us anymore.

Brilliant documentary. Gracias

Aunt Anita Leslie’s Red Indian heritage? American Indian?

So typo, two of my fammily died in WW1

I am surprised that the British are often so unpopular in Ireland , consider this two of my family do is in WW1 I have no emnity for the Germans

It's pathetic that they begged the IRA not to burn their big house down whilst their neighbours got burnt out for being unionists. They've a cheek. They kept their I'll gotten gain anyway, like most rich people they probably got tye wealth through hookery and crookery.

Those horses at the beginning have probably been castrated so that the girls can ride them easily. So, it's not such an idyllic scene.. 'Little people fishing & poaching', that shows what they really thing of everyone but themselves. & Will that young sprog become another great general - nope.

It is difficult being of mixed Anglo Gaelic descent today. You are part of both worlds but fit in neither.

They patronise the English a lot..

Super

The actress Rose Leslie from GOT is part of this family.

Thanks for posting this. I have 500 years of Anglo-Irishness behind me on my father's mother's side. L"Estranges. Protestants of course who came over with the Elizabethan Plantation. Many of them had important positions in Ireland - Attorney General and Surgeon General etc. Do I feel a smidgeon of guilt still? I have learnt Irish and to play the uilleann pipes (as many Anglo-Irish did) out of genuine linguistic and musical interest - not as atonement. The L'Estranges were originally Anglo-Normans from East Anglia (would have been Catholic before the Reformation as there was no other option!)

Very interesting & great insight. I know Antonia, guessing your aunt? From Blayney originally myself

Fascinating and charming, thank you for sharing.
