Stirling Castle is the site of many great battles including the Battle of Stirling Bridge on 11 September 1297 depicted in the movie "Braveheart." An even more significant battle was Bannockburn where Robert the Bruce defeated the British army in the summer of 1314 and won Scottish independence. Between 1501 and 1504 James IV built the Great Hall, the imposing beige yellow building in the clip. Within the hall are on display replicas of the Medieval Tapestries from the Cloisters Museum in upper Manhattan. The clip shows the Tapestry studio at the castle where the replicas are painstakingly reproduced. Scotland and England were reunited by James VI, who succeeded Elizabeth I. He built the Chapel Royal in 1594 for the state christening of his son and heir Prince Henry The castle was occupied by the British Army from 1800 until 1964 and run as a barracks. It was the setting of the film "Tunes of Glory" in 1960.

Portmeirion is the creation of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis who opened it in 1926. But what put this Mediterranean styled village on the map was the filming of the enigmatic television series The Prisoner starring Patrick McGoohan on location at Portmeirion in 1966-67. If you’re a fan of the series and haven’t visited you should go. It's an incredible place and was as much a part of the fictional story as the characters peopling it on screen.
