Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2018 | We'll begin on the tranquil Isle of Iona, where Christianity first reached the shores of Scotland. Then we'll visit another of the Inner Hebrides, road-tripping across the Isle of Skye, where we'll explore Iron Age forts, peat fields, a venerable distillery, thatched crofter huts, and the dramatic Trotternish Peninsula. Finally, we'll sail to Orkney - more Nordic than Celtic - with its stony remnants of a thriving Iron Age civilization and evocative reminders of the 20th-century wartime harbor at Scapa Flow. Check your local public television station for this Rick Steves’ Europe episode or watch it on www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #scotland

My daughter and I went to Scotland in 2017 to see my Grandfathers house. We also visited two churches that distance grandfathers had built and are still being used today! The Scottish people were so welcoming to us and I kid you not, after meeting these great people, I came home trying to be a better person! Scotland is so beautiful and their seafood is the best I've ever had.Going back with my wife next year! If I could live there, I would! I'm so proud to be a Scot in my heart!! All the best from California

Wow sweet family history you have. I recently learned I'm 25% Scottish from a dna test my little sister took. Makes so much sense based on my personality and taste in music and drink. Hoping one day to go visit and explore Scotland and maybe learn about my past ancestors. Thanks for sharing God bless from California ❤️✌🏽

@lynnejamieson2063 Год назад

@@Beh0ldas0n I’m going to sound as if I’m being really picky…but, keep in mind that a female doing a genealogical dna test, only gives the mitochondrial dna, which means that 25% of the dna you got from your female ancestors, is Scottish. Your total could be higher or lower. I say this as a Scot born and raised, who did one of these dna tests and discovered the 100% of my mitochondrial dna is from the British Isles, with almost 3/4 being Scottish and Irish. Which totally fits as one of my grandparents was English but from a town on the English/Welsh border and it had historically belonged to both countries. Sorry, I rambled a bit there. 😊

That story about the Italian prisoners of war was truly inspiring. Consider their situation: POWs in a world war, living in the enemy’s camp. Permitted to scavenge materials in their free time, what did they do? Created extraordinary art from scraps. Imagine the fortitude to live under such duress and from that, create such beauty.

I do remember some of the sights that we saw, I remember the castle of Mary Queen of Scots. and some other sights. But I also remember we had neighbor she was British I believe her name was Maureen or Sherle, I know her husband's name was Scott. we both had boys on the very same day. I often wonders where all these friends are. But I did ran into one a years later in some ambassy gathering in Washington DC. and we lost contact again. Scotland is a very pretty country but cold as I said but it's people are amazing, Not the British but Scottish..

What a beautiful and informative film. Rick's presentation is second to none. However, to avoid confusion, the northernmost point of the British mainland is not John o' Groats as told in the film, but Dunnet Head, a few miles to its west.

@lornacuesta6372 3 года назад

Wow, so beautiful Scotland and breathtaking views! I always visit Scotland since my daughter moved to Edinburgh for her studies 3 years ago and we call it our family´s second home. We haven´t been to the islands yet but it is our plan to explore them the next time we come to this beautiful place.

Wherever we've gone in Europe, Rick, we've watched your videos and read your books and always taken them with us. Invaluable and inspiring. I recommend, if you haven't seen it, the Scottish-American classic (from the 1980's) movie, Local Hero, where you'll see a ceilidh - and you'll be making your plane reservations to go see Scotland (in your case, again) the next day.

I'm grateful for discovering your channel Rick - the pace, the content, the production values, the narration - all top class! Keep it up! My ancestors were cleared from their homes in Skye, and moved to the lowlands and then boarded ships in the Firth of Clyde to sail to Dunedin, New Zealand. I honour them, and thank God for the faith they brought from the Isles

@spookybuz7803 4 года назад

I find these videos informative, entertaining and they have an almost casual, yet addictive quality. Really good photography, homely narration, but most importantly they showcase some BEAUTIFUL places to visit. I'm in England but I've been to the Isle of Skye three times. It's utterly majestic. Thank you!

@Jamestele1 2 года назад

I loved Scotland. I took a tour of G.B.('88) and toured Scotland for about a week. We spent one night on the island of Skye. So beautiful. I hope some day to return and spend more time there so I can see all its beauty. During all my time in Scotland I felt at home...could be because of my strawberry blond hair. A very beautiful country and so much history.

@@johngr9963 England is definitely not better. There's a few nice landscapes like the Lake District but for the most part it's flat and boring. Scotland is rightly turning against tourism since it's ruining places for the locals, just go to Skye and you'll see coachfulls of people crowding Portree meaning locals can't do anything.
