"On your feet solider, take me home to Lallybrock " ❤️
One of the Team sent me this in DM--Sarah Holden seems to be at Midhope Castle, where they film Outlander! 😊 Turn up the volume on her IG story, and you can hear the SAME bagpipes that were playing at Midhope Castle. Go to both accounts and compare the bagpipes.
You can hear the bagpipes in Sarah's IG story playing faintly in the background. 👇

And the bagpiper here, playing the same thing at Midhope Castle hahaha 👇 Gee, what a coinky dink. 🤗
Here's the video of it. 👇
Now let's see if Mr. Sam Heughan posts something from there...
PS. I added this comment afterwards since I already got a comment asking how do we know it's the same bagpipes. There aren't just random bagpipers walking around Scotland playing for no reason. Bagpipes are for special occasions. It would be a HUGE coincidence that on the same day that bagpipes are played at Midhope Castle, which is associated with Sam Heughan due to Outlander, you can also hear bagpipes playing outside rumored girlfriend, Sarah Holden's car. What special event could be happening right outside Sarah's car that would warrant bagpipes playing on a Monday? C'mon now. JS

Remember when Roger Mac was nowhere in sight? 🤷🏻♂️
Midhope Castle. Abercorn, Scotland. 8/12/24
November 10th 1839 saw the birth of Thomas Ross.
Ross became best known for the partnership of MacGibbon and Ross, who wrote comprehensive multi-volume books about Scotland's castles and churches.
If you haven't heard of the duo, I can be sure that you will have seen some of their drawings that were included in their books, I have posted many in the ten years I have spent posting about Scottish history.
Thomas Ross was the son of a farmer, also Thomas Ross, and Ann Murray. He was born at Wardheads, Errol, and attended local schools before going to Glasgow around 1855 to work as an assistant to architect Alexander Kirkland. He soon moved to the office of Charles Wilson, winning a measured drawing competition during his time there. He spent the proceeds on a study trip to Yorkshire, visiting Fountains Abbey among other sites.
In 1862 he began as an assistant to David MacGibbon in Edinburgh, and was made a partner in the firm of MacGibbon and Ross in 1872.
David MacGibbon and Thomas Ross, toured Scotland by train and on bicycles to record every extant piece of castellated architecture they could find. The result was a mammoth five volume work, The Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland, published between 1887 and 1892. It has become the Scottish Castlemanianc's bible, to which all other books on the subject refer. As well as his drawings he also took photographs of architecture, most notably St Giles.
In 1908 Ross was appointed a founder member of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland, and “threw himself into its activities with enthusiasm”He was also Professor of Antiquities at the Royal Edinburgh Academy. He lived most of his adult life at in Saxe-Coburg Place in Stockbridge, Edinburgh .
Thomas Ross died at the age of ninety-one on 4 December 1930. and is buried in Comely Bank Cemetery.
Capital Collections has ten pages of his work here https://www.capitalcollections.org.uk/quick-search?q=thomas%20ross&WINID=1731258280005
I visited Midhope Castle in Scotland yesterday and it was such a beautiful day! Midhope is also famously known as Lallybroch from the show Outlander - do you recognise it?! 😀 I have a little video of it here. 🌞 Scottish Castles are beautiful!
