Shetland would be my dream place to live, I love wild & long to live on an island. I'll check out the soap. I just bought a Shetland wool beret 😉 I'm obsessed with the place. I'm almost equally fascinated with Orkney. Dear Finnigan, what a darling he is! OH I almost forgot... wait...Annie, you LIKE Marmite now? 😮 I can't believe it but I'm so glad hahah. Have you tried it under peanut butter yet? When you get to the last of it, use hot water & swish round the jar to use for a gravy. Love u guys, can't wait for the next one.

    I loved this video so much. I had traveled from the States to Milton Keynes, UK in August. I had planned to travel by train from Milton Keynes to Edinburgh where I had a B&B in a small town near there, then on to Northern Ireland. I ended up getting sick...so that part of the trip was cancelled. All good because I was comfy at my cousin's house in England. All this to say...thank you for taking me on this beautiful journey. The narrating and videography is perfection! And...Inverness was also a goal...the area where my ancestors were from. So thank you! And YES...I'd love to see the drone footage.

    That's a shame you's didn't get into the exhibition. They are actually meant to be doing that up and building an extension underground so that you'll be able to have a viewing platform that looks directly underwater to see if you can spot Nessie. The castle was sadly destroyed by the very trebuchet you first looked at. The government forces destroyed it so the Jacobites couldn't use it, and there sadly followed the Highland Clearances. Great to see you guys got into see it. The Broch you visited, there's countless many of them dotted all the way up that area, many in ruins. I can't wait for the Caithness Broch Project to build one, will be the first in over 2000 years! 😁 On a side note, that was really nice of the friend you's met who even gifted you with those things but more importantly took you's around much of the very northern highlands, that was really nice of the person to do that. Glad you's enjoyed it. 🙂

      It will be worth it! Such a gorgeous area that can’t truly be captured on camera. I hope you’re able to see it in person one day. Thanks for watching ❤️

    The Scottish Highlands *has* to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. I visited Glencoe a few years ago and I still have longing for it. Such indescribable beauty. Lovely video, guys. Thank you.

    I’ve been waiting for this! Great video, guys. Closest I came to this was a virtual run of the NC500! Won’t mention how long it took me to complete it 😅. Perhaps I’ll try to drive it when I visit in the Spring.

    Definitely worth the wait for the edit on this one- you created a beautiful travelog! Your accommodation was superb! I had a week's holiday once at Cromarty (driving up from London- we must have been MAD!!!), and the scenery in the region is completely beautiful!

    So glad you got a lovely weekend together! When the weather gets a bit better, head out to Skye/Kyle of Lochalsh area. Check out Plockton and the Applecross Inn which is about 1.2 hours north drive from there. Amazing food. So much amazing seafood everywhere though. Great walking holiday. Love that you took the wee pup! We've got a westie and we're actually getting him a sibling next month! Terriers are amazing pets.
