I would be absolutely shocked if this is a true story. The video at the top is asking about what crazy Lore your family has, a girl from Canada states that her family "has" not "had" a castle in Scotland, as if her current family still owns it, a quick Google search proves whatever she has been told is absolutely nuts, and the bottom comment just reminds us how stupid people with "Scottish heritage" are. This is the dumbest one I've seen yet.

Lol, they always have a castle and are descended from something splendid and noble. Never the McFuds with their neep farm and own bog.
I actually wonder if an American or Canadian has turned up at their ancestors castle and expected to get it back
Get them telt.
I am pretty sure the person responding was just trolling the “castle owning” Canadian
i don’t think it is. the grants supported the hanoverians in both jacobite risings, and i can’t find anything readily available saying that the cameron’s ever owned the castle.
Their family HAD a castle….
weel Ludovick Grant shouldnae o’ sided against tha Jacobites then, brought it on yersel’s if ye ask me
Somebody HAS to figure out how to monetise all this delusion.
Castle Grant ..as in Grantown on spey ?
His dad must be that russian fella

I would never go this far. I have traced my Ancestry and know my ancestors came from Scotland in the late 1800s. I know that Sir Robert Boyd (Ancestor) was given Dean Castle and the lands in1316 and that William Boyd was the last Lord there.
For what it’s worth, Castle Grant is outside Grantown on Spey, and I’m fairly sure the “clan chief” for ceremonial stuff is actually Canadian. My dad was chairman of a local highland games for decades and they had them over every year as guest of honor of something. I don’t remember all the details but this one is at least partially true lol
A swift Google of ‘castle grant’ and you’ll find it was owned by other liars and charlatans more recently.
My Scottish grandfather had a patch of our family crest stitched to the breast of dinner jacket. He told me our ancestors rode across the border into England to steal horses. So we were criminals.

Apparently i’m descended from dirt poor farmers from Fife, i told my scottish mate, he told me to keep that to myself because people from Fife are thieves. I think he was from Clackmannanshire.
This seems apt https://youtu.be/Tjzj1bLb4BQ
Mine were from Eigg. They were poor as shit and got kicked off the island during the clearances. There were still native Gaelic speakers in my family (with the ‘Eigg cluck’ even) until just about 20 years ago. I have a bit of the Gaelic myself. Hoping to get to Eigg someday.
At least I, as a Canadian, acknowledge my Scottish ancestor was a peasant Orkneyman who managed to escape to the fur trade. Why is it always castles lol
Lol. These are the same People who claim Native American ancestry in the states.
Ahaha no way, is this the Motherwell Born Billionaires castle? Should be on the next £1 note in honour of its ex-owners greatest achievement.
