Today I am in Stonehaven in Scotland's north east. It might be November, but I'm still up for the odd overnighter in the van! Parking down by the harbour in a free spot with no signs to discourage me, it turned out to be the perfect place - quiet, toilet block nearby, the sound of the sea, a great little coffee shop, and a short walk to a spectacular castle. What more could I need? Well how's about something deep fried...

Hi Steve, I’ve been enjoying a few of your videos now, and this one is equally good. Look forward to getting there as soon as travel restrictions are lifted. I live in Edinburgh and am advised by the government that I shouldn’t’ be leaving my council area (to be law from this Friday)

Hello from Canada! What a beautiful video! I wish I could go there again. My great-grandparents lived in Stonehaven, Boatie Row. I met them in 1967 when I was only 5. They were very old and that was the only time I would meet them. As I recall, a sketchy family history, says that my great-grandfather and his son were associated with the Cutty Sark. But, what do I know???? I have loved Scotland for my entire life.

After recently discovering your channel and seeing you travel all over the world you inspired us to book a holiday to… Montrose! Just seemed like a nice place a great location to get to all the things we wanted to do. Then today I heard about the outdoor pool in Stonehaven and suggested it to my girlfriend as she’s a keen swimmer. She likes the sound of it but what will I do while she swims? (I can’t swim). Then this evening while I’m working my way through your older videos I find this one and see that there’s an awesome castle I can wander over to while she’s in the pool. Perfect!

Deep-fried Mars bars sound like the main line to Coronary City! Though as a true Scotsman you're bound to try one. Square sausage and Haggis (which is quite close to Polish Kaszanka) are the outer limits of my Scottish culinary explorations! Stonehaven looks like a fascinating place to visit, especially if you can park up for the night so close to the waterside. I'm really enjoying your Scottish trip reports while destinations further afield are unreachable. Neat van conversion video too.

@beagle7622 3 года назад

Damn every time you show a place in Scotland, makes me want to go to my closed travel agent & book a flight to a place I can’t go. My father was a fighter pilot in 1944. He use to fly (training) in Scotland. He loved the flying side . What used to bring a grin to his face was St Andrews Golf Course. He & a couple of others buzzed it one day, he said golfers were going everywhere. Just made him smile. He just loved the country though which I have inherited. You can keep tourist traps. A walk down the Royal mile is my definition of being a tourist . I love your blogs Steve. Parts of London are special to me too particularly St James Park. Oh yes Red Headed Women, I was in heaven in Scotland. My dad married one from London ( my Mum obviously ). The town in the film “Local Hero” wasnt that on the East Coast. I live in a beautiful place too. A friend went on a week holiday on what we call the Surf Coast in Victoria , it’s cold water here comes up from the Southern Ocean, but has some of the most amazing surf beaches anywhere. We have no virus here 0 cases for basically 4 months.Beautiful country lots of Bush.but lacks the history of Scotland.

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Sounds fantastic there! And hope you can get over here again soon! Totally agree with your love of non/touristy places and lovely to hear about your parents! Many thanks for watching my videos it’s super-appreciated and motivates me to make more whenever we can.

I had a deep fried Mars Bar at a Highland Games just for giggles some years back. It was okay, not as cloying as I was braced for. I'm not allowed to eat stuff like that, anymore or at least not without taking a penalty shot. I'm a old guy who wants to get a bit older.

I have two Scottish terriers that would feel quite at home there, I'm sure. Instead, as an old retired woman, I'm landlocked here in north Georgia, US, but your videos have been great company! Keep it up, laddie!

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

That's such a lovely comment Beatrice, thank you! Yes, I must admit it's my dream to live in Stonehaven too, it really is a wonderful place and that whole area has been home to very many artists and authors so there must be a creative magic about the place. And for sure your terriers would love it too, but they already go there in their dreams every night :) I have passed through Georgia many times driving between Florida and Charleston SC, and have always enjoyed a wee stop in Savannah, although I would love to spend more time in your wonderful state in future, that's for sure!

Hi Steve, Just watched your film on Stonehaven, can I ask you do you have a plan of what you are going to film before you arrive in the town? I only ask because you do make such enjoyable travel films. I also agree with Collin below, you should invest in a drone & licence as nowadays drones are so easy to fly and so portable too. Obviously would definitely add a further enjoyable dimension for you as the filmmaker and also the viewer.

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Thanks so much Alistair! And yes, a drone would be awesome, I've been researching a bit and it's a tricky balance - the cheap ones are pretty poor quality, but I think I need to start that way rather than invest £500-£1000 and crash it due to inexperience of flying. I'd need at least 1080p and a gimbal I believe? Definitely on the radar! I try to put a little bit of planning in, and always look for something a bit different to drop in (hence the mars bar!) but other than that I just try to wing it! Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

@jamesclendon4811 3 года назад

Another enjoyable, charming video from you. I couldn't decide if it was amusing or sad--maybe both--that Stonehaven boasts on its Welcome sign of being birthplace of R.W. Thomson, inventor of the pneumatic tyre; is he a big name in those parts? Here in the US abominations such as the deep-fried Mars bar--and worse--are usually found at county fairs and the like, not in picturesque seaside towns. I've never tried one but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't, given the opportunity. Cheers, and thanks for another entertaining video.

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Wow there’s a blast from the past - I’d completely forgotten about the White Heather! Cheers for the reminder!

What, no fish tacos?

@suebrown436 3 года назад

I would definitely try a deep fried Mars bar - as long as it was not fried in the same oil as the fish!! Just the one though. 😜

Ohh thanks a good point! A fishy Mars bar mmmmm 😆

Deep Fried Mars Bar...why not, they even do deep fried cream eggs now...…Top Gear on the Scottish road trip deep fried everything at one meal as they said that was Scottish food, but the were just pulling our leg....;-)

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Ohhh the creme egg is maybe a step too far for me, but never say never! :D I'll need to find a clip of the Top Gear trip :)

Oh wow! That castle. Setting reminiscent of Tintagel. And yes, the deep fried, totally disgusting, loved it. I see you get south of Hadrian's every now and again. Ever tried Holy Isle/Lindisfarne?

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Definitely on the list, and not too far either (once restrictions are lifted of course!) I'll need to google the castle!

I'm from the south (USA). We fry everything that can be fried. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Haha that's the way Kate! You'd enjoy Scotland for sure! Ohhhh I'd love some Texan food now...

@katesterly547 3 года назад

I think I would enjoy most of the food over there. I hope someday you make it over here to try it. Stay well, be safe, love from Texas.

Stonehaven was the first place I tried fried bacon and banana sandwiches as well as the fried mars bar and the former is now a staple for me. It has been a while since any money was spent on those roads!!

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

OMG I've never heard of that one! Yeah, those roads may as well be deep fried too

@stuipooey1 3 года назад

Ah Stoney what a lovely place and nicely showcased Steve. I thought you were heading to the Bay or Aunty Bettie's for a treat but as soon as I saw the Carron Chipper I thought noooooooooooooo not the deep fried mars bar....................... a bit of a national embarassment but I suppose you couldnt resist the temptation.🤣 Regards from the other end of the Slug

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Love the Slug Road - do you remember when Shirley's cafe was right at the top??? Yeah, the mars bar was just for the video, the things I do! :D

@@steve-marsh don't remember the cafe itself but someone built a really nice house on the plot not that long ago. The shire is a cracking part of the world

Great film! Nice to see something positive about campervans in Scotland! I'd heard that overnight parking was banned in that carpark and the locals were really pissed off with campervans and motorhomes in general? Hopefully not the case?

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Certainly no signs there, and I'm semi-local (lived there in my younger years and my dad still does) and not heard anything, but I guess there will always be some who don't like it and I guess a minority who might leave rubbish etc, but I'm always considerate for sure. Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed!

It looks like Stonehaven is a fishing town . I used to be a Lobster, in fisherman in Canada, so I am interested in such things . What are the boys catching this time of yr in Stonehaven ? Mike .

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Yeah, Stonehaven still has a few boats, but nothing like it used to be - I guess the quotas and restrictions have affected the non-commercial industry over here quite a bit, but I say that as someone with no real knowledge! I believe lobster and crab are what they catch here, but not sure about the bigger boats that go further afield. Cheers for watching :)

Deep fried Mars bars are awesome. Get a huge sugar rush off them. Living in a place like that would be ideal in the current climate. Must have been beautiful when it was in use. Another amazing video. Thank you. Hope everyone us staying safe 🙂

All the best to you Chris! Still haven’t had another Mars bar...yet.
