- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2018 | Glasgow, once an industrial powerhouse, offers a fun look at Scotland's vibrantly gritty urban side - full of edgy street art, trendy dining, and the striking architecture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Leaving town, we'll tap into Scottish passions as we tour historic Stirling Castle and nearby battlefields, sample a dram at the land's most beloved distilleries on the Speyside Whisky Trail, watch a sheepdog demonstration, and struggle to lift the Manhood Stone at a Highland Games.

I lived in Glasgow (am Canadian) for a time long ago. Lovely city. When I asked directions to the train station, the shop keeper was having a hard time making me understand his accent, so he just said "ooch" threw up his hands and shut his shop to WALK ME THERE!
English house of Normandy
i wanna go there😊
Yes, that sounds like something a Scot would do. While my wife and I were train traveling, we became confused and a Scottish gentleman escorted us until we got ourselves organized. Kindne@ was not in short supply there.
kindness, I mean. Sorry for typo
You must visit guelph and North of it, very Scottish but lately changed
"British by passport, Scottish by the grace of God" is one of the best things I've ever heard. God bless the Scots!
Hopefully they will become an independant country.
I am see the grand playful .pawerhouse there are peoples are friendly good time wear clothes Celebrate made stely only.Glasgow country owesome be pretty cool a fun
It's nice being Scottish 🏴🏴

I love Rick Steves' travel videos. They take me away from ordinary days and allow me to dream of distant lands. Scotland is one of those lands I've always wanted to visit.
Absolutely. I’m binge watching sick with covid.
That second sentence is spot on ! 😊❤
I want to thank Rick Steves for the service he provides. Many people who are unable to travel because disability or financial whatever reason It’s so fortunate That’s society has a person like RICK thank you Rick
"Can you give me a tour of your bagpipe and tell me how it works?"
Steady on there, you only just met him! 🤣
Gary Malcolmson bellend.
They don't call him 'Slick Rick' for nothing.
I literally stopped the vid at this part 😂
@@User-dh4bp We all gotta behave now. :)
who are you?
I live in England but I will say that the Scottish people are the best in behaviour and very friendly.
The scots look avery friendly people.
I visited Scotland for the first time this summer. I visited Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews, Stirling, and Anstruther. Edinburgh is great but is way too touristy. Glasgow has some outstanding museums and I wish I had spent a few more days there. Glasgow is way underrated and and is worth visiting for sure.
I'm glad I saw your comment! Always good to hear someone's opinion of a trip to these places. Glad you got to go and hope my wife and I get to go too! How long were you there all together?
One thing though do not, and I mean do not go into small alleyways!
im a glaswegian and that applies to all big cities around the world@@valeriemcblain8613
A Bishop: thank you for noticing that Glasgow is so underrated. Before I moved to Inverness, I lived in Glasgow for 10yrs & I enjoyed everything the city can offer. The people are so friendly & welcoming.
PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW ❤️
Rick Steves is charming as heck.
Yes im sure he could charm bark off a tree...just say'n....
Rick fits right in!
Adorable Scotland , kindest and most gracious hosts... charming cities and lots of laughter ... love from your brothers and sister in Iran ... God bless Scotland
I have originally travelled to Scotland for the first time because I love Scotch whiskies, but fell in love with the land and the people.
@@rrolf71
I never travel to there before but supose be really wonderfull the culture of their cities in Scotland! God bless all of us 👏👏👏 Amen. 🙏💝💄💝🎉
Rick Steve's is such a legend. Such an upbeat positive traveller. You are welcome in our fair land anytime Rick!
And you don't think that's just a cover? I can easily picture him mean and nasty behind closed doors. I've met people like this. We all have.

Beautiful place, people, history and culture. I hope one day I’ll come here. For now, I’ll keep dreaming.
Me too
Me too
"Stirling, where the lowlands meet the highlands." True, very true.
I am of Scottish heritage Maternally! My grandfather was John Grandison from Glasgow immegrating to Canada in the 1920s then into the South ( Alabama) of the United States where he met and married my grandmother. He was a Golf Pro at the Birmingham( Alabama, USA) Country Club.
Thank you for this glimpse of his birthplace. I hope before my life is over I will be able to visit Scotland. Stay safe Dear Scots. Our World is in dangerous Pandemic waters. These videos of Rick Steve's are treasures for future generations.💙
Hope that you have now managed to come over here.
If you didn't believe that Scotland was in a league of its own you only have to sample those quirky sports. Glasgow has a distinctive taste, whats in the air and the waters ; you'll go away with the notes of the pipers in your soul.
I'm from Brazil. I met a group of Scottish on a trip to Argentina and I'll never forget how friendly and joyful they were. They reminded me of Brazilians. I never knew they could be so similar to us from a land so far away from Brazil. In those times I didn't even speak English so well and until nowadays I don't know how we could communicate, but we did LOL. Since then Scotland has been one of the countries on the top of my list to visit in Europe. I couldn't achieve this dream so far, but I hope one day I will.
Aye ive always thought we have alot in common in that regard, different countries and cultures but very similar people
Visited Scotland many years ago. Still remain one of my favourite places to visit again. Friendliness of Glaswegians is remarkable.
An amazing looking place
Been the best vacation of my life. Traveled all over Scotland. 1972
glad you liked us come back soon linda w
Welcome anytime.
Haste ye back...we've tidied ourselves up a bit
Im a scot born in Bathgate West Lothian and i must say i have seen many vidios from tourists but this has got to be one of the best ones well done that man you certinally know your history
ย
And you certinally don't know how to spell!!
Beautiful Scottish culture. Love from ROMANIA
Come over.
Right back at you! Love from Scotland.
Scotland is unbelievably BEAUTIFUL !! TT__TT
stick to the north west
It's only too believable 🙂🙂
Glasgow is always changing re inventing itself and moving forward with the times the people are so friendly and welcoming it has always been a great city
Glasgow is in my heart forever ❤️
I'm Scottish/Irish and the bagpipes just about bring years to me everytime and I never cry, my dad taught me that.
My ancestors were from Glasgow. Whiteinch Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Old Monkland, Sheltleston, Eastwood .... all my ancestors far back as 5th great grandparents. Only very recently were we born in USA where my ancestors resided in Trenton, NJ.
I love the Scotts. I'm French and Swedish. My little Brother was President of the Scottish Highland games in Enumclaw Washington. Thousands of pipes. I have 3 nieces who did Scottish dance.
I am an American with both Scots and English ancestry. Stewart (Stuart) on one side Mullinax (norman) on the other. This is a fun show.
Thank you, Rick Steves. Your inspiring, educational, happy shows have brought me so much joy during the pandemic. I can not thank you enough. Bless you, my TV friend.
Absolutely love all the videos of Rick Steves' Europe. First time posting for the series. I'd love to visit a Glaswegian pub, same as I would a pub in Ireland. I'm crazy about Celtic music and the pubs' warm and friendly atmospheres. As for the Speyside whiskys? Had wee drams, and I say Speyside whiskys are tops to share with Christmas and New Year's guests. Yum!
Having been raised in the country home of a piano teacher (Mom) and totally immersed in the tempered scale, my first live pipe-and-drum experience (Fergus, Ontario Highland Games) was a joyful musical revolution.
I've only visited for some events, but I just love it. The people are amazing and I've made so many friends that I'll have forever. I've love street art too, and have seen all those amazing walls. Thanks Rick for taking me back.
I love their history and culture. Wonderful people
Thanks
I wouldn’t go that far
22:56 love how Rick goes from front to last in about 15 yards
11:22 if the music you hear strikes your ear as sounding like Bluegrass, that's not a coincidence. This is where it came from.
As a child my father was stationed in Troon, Scotland, Prestick Air Force Base, as a USAF Staff Sgt. I was privileged to live in Troon close to 4 years, attend school, and even have my first communion at the local Catholic Parish, which still stands. My memories of Scotland are truly marvelous. Hope one day to be able to go back and revisit the sites and sounds that so gracefully accompany my memory. Thanks for featuring such a wonderful place.
I am from Troon...Nice to read the great comment
What a great video very authentic. i like the way you went at it with an open mind. Glasgow is a wonderful place to visit and the people are very friendly.
Hahaha friendly and wonderful hahaha
@@jackwatson3944 haha bring ya cheb
I loved this video...I'm a proud Glaswegian who adores my city.....And you did it proud....good on ye son... XX may yer Lum reek Lang and AHH that...xx
I want to take my family there next year. As a 5th generation American it's strange to have both sides of my family traced back to Glasgow and isle of man. Where would be a good place to stay in (or near) Glasgow?
Yes glasgows my home town
I'd LOVE to go to Glasgow one day, so amazing
Kris Mcinturff It depends on your budget. There are lots of good Hotels in Glasgow. From 5 stars to 2 stars. For a really good one try Jury's Inn or the Central Hotel. That one has been renovated a few years ago and is part of the Central Station, right in the City Centre.
@@zymkriger in glasgow nice hotels at reasonable prices lots to see and do in glasgow and most museums etc free of charge lots of parks too . that is why glasgow is called the dear green place giesgui in gaelic please enjoy your visit to scotland linda wilson
I've got roots from this area. My maternal grandfather was born in Glasgow and emigrated after the war.
Thank you for featuring beautiful places like Glasgow. I enjoyed it. You brought me to places I have never been in real.
Glasgow is still fresh in my memory 😊
I was 12 years old then 👌💕
Absolutely delightful! Can't wait to see Scotland.
Scotland can't wait to see you too 👍🏴🙏
I love this humble kindhearted man.
I'm coming to Scotland very soon. I'm stoked to say the least :)
I went to Glasgow on my way to Liverpool, to see Phantom of the Opera stage show back in 2014, I think it was. I stayed in Glasgow 2 nights and had to get up at 4am to catch the train. The staff wouldn't let me outside by myself in the dark, so they called a cab to take me the short distance to the train station. They changed my room to a more private area, so I wouldn't wake anyone when I left and when I arrived back at 1.30 am next morning! I'll never forget their kindness.
His shows are a God send. He, almost alone, saves the television industry from the monotony of bland and boring. Thanks for the enlightenment. 👍🏽
Wow,I really love the art work outside the buildings! Scotland is a beautiful country! I would love to move there. 💐
What a country---its people, its history, its glorious scenery, and so much else! Listening to bagpipes a sublime experience, just endlessly haunting & beautiful!
Glasgow a city with remarkable Reni Mackintosh buildings .Love the design a must see area.for this style of buildings.
I love your videos!! I worked very hard last year so that I could take the year off to travel and went through South East Asia before having to pull the plug due to the virus. I hope you and your family are well!! I have so very much enjoyed your videos about Scotland (as I am Scot/Irish/German from the USA) and can’t wait to learn more before venturing there in better times ahead! Great work, thanks again!
just a big hello--i am back after living in the US for 23 years--home is best as they say--Welcome anytime--J.
Scottish people are proud
I love Scottish culture ❤️
The kelpies are even more beautiful in person- highly recommend a half day tour of Falkirk and the Highlands. If visiting Glasgow checkout Kelvingrove (free performance at 1 each day) and the Lighthouse (best panoramic view of the city) .
I really LOVE Scotland...... Shillong one of the Hilly City in North East India (India) known as Scotland of the East ....the title was given British ......
Hello Mr. Steves. Thank you for taking me on a virtual tour of Glasgow and parts of Scotland. I like the way you mingle with the locals and share a wonderful camaraderie with them. We get to hear stories from history from the natives which is a nice way to introduce us to the region. I was in Edinburgh in 2009 and I was so impressed by the city. It feels like a huge golf course. The people there were uber friendly. Online tourism feels very realistic in your hands.
Love these video's Rick. Thank you so much for sharing your travel with us.
"British by passport, Scottish by the grace of God". I am a proud Glaswegian, and I have never heard this comment. However, good on you for doing this piece for Americans. Glasgow is the best city, surrounding areas are also fantastic, we are very friendly, take everyone as we see them, will help anyone and be friends with anyone. I have lived in West Lothian for last 18 years but from North Lanarkshire.. I worked in Glasgow city centre for a fwe years, and shopping here, I love stopping and watching the buskers. Taking friends from South Africa around the sights, not just City Centre - I am proud to be Scottish.
We all are.
scottish not british
@@epicgamer748 What?
I'm a Glaswegian, such a great video and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, great footage.
Is anyone else thoroughly impressed by his correct pronunciation of Glasgow, Edinburgh, etc?
Very lovely voice too
No 🤯🤣!!
no. He usually mispronounces everything.
Yes to that but, no to his pronunciation of the word Loch which, he says Lock.
i'm kinda depressed with many things going on right now in my life, but those Rick Steves videos help me so much with their huge amount of beautiful landscapes and positive attitude of him, thanks Rick, for those videos and for making them available here for free.
A very likeable man and a very instructive video. I can’t bear saccharine presentations of my home but Rick captures the spirit of the place. A pro.
3:38 'Shite on your shoe' lol
Rick critiquing the street art is the most charmingly twee thing I've seen in years.
I must visit Glasgow!!!🙂
I lived in Scotland for 4 years. I do miss it sometimes...
Очень красиво.Прекрасная страна!
Oh, how I wish I had the money to visit this glorious country! Scotland is the best country on earth!
Don't wait, once in a blue moon , you need to come to my beautiful country now, Scotland waiting to welcome you with open arms. 😁👍🏴
Neil Taylor .....Believe me I would if I could afford to & I would love to move there permanently!
Are you not here yet?
@@bertharius9518 Sadly not yet! But still hoping to someday! I'm 61 yrs old so hoping I make it to Scotland before my 65th birthday while I'm still young enough to enjoy it!
i was born in the Slums of Glasgow, 1948, East End, behind the Glasgow Royal Hospital, left in 1966 to see the World.
We always called it Glesga and not Glasgow which as weans we said it stood for

If You Have Not Visited Edinburgh', Or Scotland !?Where Have You Bin👀✔😱 Edinburgh Has Great Things To See And Do ,!And Great Scottish History,! So🙋Lets See You Here 🆗 Y,all
I hope my wife and I get to visit this beautiful place. Not only to see the beauty in nature and the cities but the people who seem so happy to be there. I wish the world had more of this attitude. We also very much want to take a narrowboat on a few weeks of leisurely traveling the canals so we can get a true feeling of what life is like there. We're in The US and have been all of our lives. Only a few short years to retirement. Hopefully, we will be healthy and able to enjoy life and see the world!
May God keep you safe and come to our country.
If not now...when? Hope you succeed.
@@williamglover3625 I only just now saw your reply but still wanted to say Thank you so very much! We are still planning and watching Narroeboat videos. Blessings to you!
@@bertharius9518 We still have to wait for retirement. We want to be able to take a month so we can properly take it all in and being a union Carpenter, I get 2 weeks at a time tops. I have a friend who just retired and is now battling cancer. He stayed on an extra year for the promise of a significant amount of money which he now regrets.
Figured out from a test that I’m a direct descendent from William Wallace (my g-pa’s last name is Wallace, and he decided to do genealogy stuff) & I’ve recently become super obsessed with Scottish history & traditions. Love all things Scottish🥰👌🏼
Beautiful country.👍👍👍
visited ....beautiful city friendly...ppl....!!!❤
I want to go to Scotland so bad 😭
Go for it.
Très beau merci Québec Canada

My grandfather was born in Glasgow, and he and his brother and my great grandmother moved to Canada when he was a child. Then when he was a young man he moved to America where I am from. I want to go to Glasgow so badly to see where my grandfather came from!
I love ❤️ your videos are so great you learn so much from them
That would be so fun to watch the higland games IN Scotland..they have a Scottish heritgae festival in i believe Stone Mt Georgia they wear traditional kilts and theres some people there that play the bagpipes..ive never been to it either..but seeing the strong men tossin logs is my favorite and the stone put
Rick is a great guy to love and cherish because of his work and study of the world and it's people.
Someday I might get over to Europe, so many places I would love to see. :D
At 11.20 I couldn’t help but notice that although the song never changed the one lone guitarist managed to change position of his capo around three times and a couple of times lost it all together lol. Some pretty creative editing I guess.
I really enjoyed the blogs about Ireland and Scotland ! I am passionate about history and i locking forward to watch more of your fantastic videos .I live in Hinckley England from nearli 7 years ,but i am from Romania , and i like to say thank you for viziting my beautiful country !
