As some one who doesn't drive you're showing areas that I am unlikely to see . Thoroughly enjoying them and perfect to rewatch in the depth of winter. Keep them coming.
Hello Maureen, thank you for supporting us with a coffee that was lovely. Glad you enjoyed the tour around Glencoe. A few more episodes to go on our highlands trip yet! ☺
I also don‘t drive „on the wrong side of the road“ (I’m from germany, my brain can’t handle everything mirrored 😂) but I took a tour and was able to see the Highlands, Glencoe, Fort William.. and I will be back!
Ohh ... thanks for the memories. We lived in Glasgow for a while during the 90s. We would drive up to Glenco then down to Fort Williams regularly just to experience the Scottish Highlands. We didn't venture into Glen Etive. Miss those beautiful sceneries.
Beautiful video of Glencoe and Glen etive. I live within that area. And the scenery is spectacular. Especially if your winter camping in Glen etive. Its so magical when the moon comes up and you get the Reflection on loch Etive . There's no one around except you and Mother Nature. Fantastic
Thank you so much for this video. I caught this about a week before we left for Scotland and we took Glen Etive and absolutely loved. it. The views were stunning and a welcome relief from the tourist chaos at The Three Sisters! Kilchurn Castle was a real find and we spent a good bit of time there just soaking it in. Thanks again!
Drove through glencoe 4th time in my life 2 days ago. It has a unique thing about it the 2nd 3rd and 4th time through effected me as much as the first time.....surely one of the most dramatic landscapes on earth
The lemon and black pepper roasted haddock hands DOWN! We don't have as much haddock here in the SE of the US. Thanks to you both for the fun look-see of your Scotland. I hope to come one fine shiny day!
This video me feel so many emotions! Three years ago my son took me to Scotland and my main reason for choosing Scotland was to drive and walk/hike around Glencoe. But to my surprise and utter dismay, I suffered ridiculous anxiety and had to return home after only two days in Edinburgh. It still breaks my heart when I think about how close I got, but didn’t make it. This video made me happy and sad and the same time. So beautiful! (I also planned to do the Harry Potter train and the fairy pools on Skye.). As for the menu, I’d be sitting there for an hour trying to decide because 99% of it sounded amazing! 👍👍
Hello Mari, thank you for the lovely comment, and we feel sad that you missed out on such beautiful scenery. All the places you mentioned, the train, fairy pool and Skye will be coming up later in the episodes so I hope we can show you those and maybe one day you will be able to make it back for a second try. We took ages to decide when we were sitting in the pub too! Take Care.
Con cada nuevo video disfruto más. Qué felicidad encontrar vuestro canal!! No solo las imágenes sino toda la historia que nos explicas, es genial. Un trabajo excelente. Muchísimas gracias!! Saludos! 🌼
Vielen lieben Dank 🙏für dieses grandiose Video von Euch, man kann gar nicht genug bekommen, alles ist so wunderbar in Szene gesetzt, tolle Erklärungen und wie immer sehr detailliert 👍Die Landschaft ist einfach atemberaubend. Weiterhin gute Reise🚞🛳🚍
We managed to catch up with your Scottish travels which are delightful - we stayed in Glencoe for a week & did some of those same loops, but not the train or the boat. Can highly recommend this part of the world - as you say, bring warm waterproofs as the weather is Scottish! I'd DEF go for the langoustines - they looked delicious. Happy travels.
Terrific！精彩的风光视频，非常实用的旅游指南，这条线路我去过多次，回味无穷。Excellent scenery video, very useful travel guide.Excellent scenery video, very useful travel guide. I've been to this route many times, and I can't stop thinking about it.
Yesterday we returned from a week in Glencoe. I'm a Glasgow boy who lives in England now. But this place is forever extraordinarily magical to me. I say this as a Scot - but the waether was breathtaking. 25 degrees and cloudless blue skies all week. Like nothing I've ever experienced in all my times here. To have endless weather loveliness is rare in these parts. We too went down Glen Etive - the site of the famous James Bond 'Skyfall' (Ian Fleming had a lodge down Glen Etive to inspire its part in the story). Assuming you have the luxury of sunshine, It's best done late in the day as the golden light and contours are eye-achingly stunning.. You should also go back up the road to the Clachaig Inn. There can be few more handsome places to sink a beer. But you have to walk up to the Lost Valley. There's plenty detail on it on the Internet. A two hour long hike up between two of the Three Sisters. And when you get there and it's like you're in Jurassic Park. It really does feel like you've gone back a few geological epochs. (but with no velociraptors). Millions of people live in Britain and have no idea this amazing place is just up the road.
Spent lots of time around the Glencoe area in my younger days. Been up to the Lost Valley (it seems to have several other names also) and it is indeed as you say - a sort of world within a world. It was where the highlanders hid their rustled cattle, where no-one would ever find them. Back in the day you could get fantastic bed and breakfast for £16 a night almost anywhere, even in cities like Stirling (even had b&b in Loch Lomond for £9 with a breakfast to die for) Scottish hospitality is second to none. Wherever did the tradition of the tight-fisted Scotsman come from, I never found it to be true. My wife and I were keen walkers and we did it almost every year, sometimes several times a year - you can never tire of Scotland.
There are two fantastic cul-de-sacs in Scotland. One is the road down Glen Etive and the other is the road from Braemar down the Linn of Dee. Ooh and a third but access is restricted is Glen Strathfarrar.
I loved driving in the Highlands - once I returned the ridiculous oversized camper RV and got a small BMW. It took a bit of fumbling around sorting out the traffic pull outs. It's actually a wonderful system - you have to practice your humanity and generosity for it to work. I decided that as I was just traveling around with no schedule, and as a foreigner, I should always be the first to pull over and yield the right of way. I thoroughly enjoyed every chance to let the other vehicle go first. I recommend this for all visitors. Of course if such a system were widespread in my United States I can't imagine the results.
I'd enjoy popping across to the pub on a ferry as I love anything, 'novel'. Would really appeal. I'm vegetarian so would choose something vegetarian from the menu. I actually think the rain and mist add to the mysterious beauty of Glencoe.
12:55 thank you for mentioning that it’s so good to have waterproof shoes been debating on what kind of shoes to get and I just got some on posh Burke, Merrill mid height waterproof so they’re like a more breathable hiker versus like a Vasque 🥾 🥾
Your pronunciations are great, especially ‘loch’ - mind you, there’s plenty of them so you must be getting a lot of practise! Just waiting for the appearance of a Tam O’shanter and kilt to make it authentic. I’ll have the steak and ale pie and chips please. Thank you!!
Hi Jean, thanks for kind words, we are normally quite terrible with pronunciations so this is encouraging! The pie sounds a good choice, it is so hard to pick!
Loved your Highland series! Plan to use many of your suggestions for those places we have sadly missed in the past. Curious to know if you went north to Dunrobin?
We had to use a video clip service for those short drone shots to video overall perspective. So cannot claim credit for those. I don't know what was used am afraid.
I am a new subscriber and I feel I joined up at a particularly good time because of your excellent coverage of the Scottish Highlands. Sth a treat. I appreciate the attention to detail in your videos and excellent photography. Clear, concise and practical, all elements that inform so well nicely wrapped up in delightful commentary. Thank you also for entering the prices which are a good way for us to plan a similar visit when possible. I am anxious to see your next episode. Thank you for all you do for us. xx
Hello and welcome to our channel. Thank you so much for the lovely comment and for watching. Its very encouraging and glad you like the detail we put in. It is good to know it's useful. All the best Si and Will.
I have no words to communicate how much amazing this place seems to me. I have just approached this channel as an English student, and I have the feeling that I am going on holiday, thanks and greetings.
So beautiful as usual 🙏❤️your channel is the best and informative thank you so much for sharing your journey with us ❣️as well as the hard work and effort you put into them ... your narrative/voice over is so professionally done... just truly appreciate you. Take care out there 🙏🥂🍾
I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. I hope to see Glencoe in person someday, but you made me feel like I was there. I’d be hard pressed to tell you what I’d choose from the pub menu. I kept looking for simple fish and chips. Ha! Can’t wait for the next one. Safe travels!
Hi Todd, great to hear that you really liked the video. Even though the weather was not great it still is magical. Hope you do make it there someday soon. You cannot go wrong with good old fish and chips!👍☺
Most interesting and beautiful video with the most gorgeous scenery of the Scottish highlands! Loved the waterfalls, and the young deer standing under the tree! Well done indeed again! Looking forward to seeing the next installment! Thank you!
I am likely biased but for me the Scottish scenery beats all else .So dramatic in its beauty,weather does not concern me.Love my wee country with all her history.Great video,great work.👍👍❤❤👍👍
My mom and I were there in July 2012. I drove through Glencoe but really couldn’t enjoy it due to all of the cars and feeling like I was being surrounded by too many people. Making that turn onto the road for Glen Etive was like entering a different world! We only had one other car going the same way (we hopscotched them the entire 12 miles), and we just loved the drive. Beautiful scenery (although it was a bit drier, so not as many waterfalls), quiet road, and just a relaxing hour+ to breathe and enjoy. At the end of the road, I took a panoramic photo of the loch with the hills on either side that takes pride of place on my wall (beside my photo of the Ring of Brodgar).
Many thanks for a reminder of a great, but all too short holiday in the Highlands. At the beginning of August, after an overnight stop in Stirling and a diversion to take in the Falls of Dochart at Killin, my son and I continued on to Glencoe and Fort William. Beyond Fort William, we stopped at Spean Bridge and paid our respects at the Commando Memorial (he has worn the green beret). Fortunately, the weather was altogether better for us than for you. Our objective was to get to Elgin, where we had hired a Caterham 7 for three days of exciting motoring around the Cairngorms, with no power-assisted brakes, no power-assisted steering, and with our backsides only inches above the tarmac. There was some emotion and nostalgia in the trip for me, as I constantly had reminders of holidays in Scotland in the 1960s with the girl who was to become my wife and who is no longer with us.
Don't worry about getting pronunciations perfect, many Glaswegians like myself can't pronounce some English towns and villages perfectly, so why should Scots get shirty about it? The more time you spend there you will pick it up as I have, living in England. I've been along those same roads many times but you showed me something I've not done before and that's getting the ferry across to the pub. That's added to my list for 2024. I try and get up there at least every second year as my partner adores Scotland. She fell in love with it on our first visit even though the weather was horizontal rain on Skye. In 2022 we did Harris, Lewis and the Assynt area of Scotland. OMFG is all I can say. Our whole party were just utterly blown away with the scenery, beaches, food and mountain treks! Keep up the good work pal 👍
Thanks once again for these very interesting uploads. The scenery is stunning . I kept thinking that I wouldn’t like to be walking on that road at night by myself without any street lights , it would be pitch black and very cold . Reminded me of werewolf in London ,,,, keep to the roads . The Chowder looked good just what you needed on a cold day . I would have to have the Scottish wild salmon . Best regards from Vietnam 🇻🇳
Love your videos, feeling a wee bit homesick! Been through Glen Coe countless times in my life and never seen it looking the same twice. Only been through Glen Etive once (pronounce E as in Everton but don't worry I've now lived in Wales for 19 years and still can't get my tongue around some of the names!) The time I went down Glen Etive was at Easter more than 20 years ago, one of the waterfalls was completely frozen and then we got to Loch Etive and it was flat calm and so warm we had to strip off our jackets and had a picnic on the shore, just stunning. Next time you're crossing the Connel Bridge going north, look up to your right for a stunning view up Loch Etive and if you look down to the water you will see the Falls of Lora which is in the sea and is stunning if you can see at a Spring tide
Many, many thanks for creating and sharing this beautiful video presentation. To someone living in the desert southwest of the USA such scenery and such weather are almost inconceivable.
Thank You for these videos; I watch them when I'm blue and also because I can't afford to go anywhere; Question: was Stalker Castle used in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"? [1976]?? BTW I believe Scottish immigrants very likely imported Cullen Skink to the US because New England Clam Chowder looks remarkably like it. If I were there I would most definitely order anything seafood based as Scotland seems to have that whole scene under control.
What an Incredible Video. I flew to Glasgow and than up to Aberfeldy when I was 16, wow, 42 years ago. I still get excited when I see the Scottish Highlands. Great video and looking at the food you ordered I almost had to stop the video to get something to eat. I look forward to the next video. Cheers!
Haha thanks for your kind comment Len! The food was really great as you can see! The upcoming videos are worth waiting for, we visited some extra special places 🙂
I love the video, I'm in the US and our eastern mountains are covered in forest and when I see the glenns, there are no trees, forgive me because I don't know why that is. It is absolutely stunning to see,I've been able to trace most of my family back to England and Scotland, so I'm so excited to see these places.
Hi Karen, Thanks for your kind comment! I think the lack of trees is down to years of deforestation, if you had see the landscape 200+ years ago, it would have looked more like your mountains in the US, covered in trees. Have you ever visited the U.K.? Sounds like you may feel at home here!
Thousands of years ago before the tech tonic plates split the earth the UK was joined to the US ,the Rocky Mountains were once part of our mountain range so that’s maybe why it looks familiar
Going to Scotland in September from Canada, I cannot wait! It’ll be my first time, I’m so looking forward to all the beautiful places to see 😊 Thanks for sharing these videos, makes me even more excited for the trip!
Beautiful I never waste money going on holiday abroad why should I when we have such beautiful breathtaking areas like we do on our green life filled island from John o coat's to lambs end.😵
