I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is a result of doing all this myself I’m afraid. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday morning is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips!
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for TH-cam Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.
#SteveMarsh #PubCrawl #Dundee
Steve, you need not worry about the quality of your videos. Your camerawork, editing, warm , natural narration with hearty humor all make for superb viewing. I love it all. Thanks!
I agree. Not everything goes as planned, but it is a great video showing the pubs of Dundee. Cheers Steve!
Agreed, good vids
This is what I love about TH-cam. No TV producer would dream of something so mundane, but it's a joy to watch. I think it's because the casual chitchat and first person angles give you a sense of being there. Thanks for the vid!
Hey thanks so much for the comment :) really appreciate it!
Very true. No wonder nobody watches TV anymore- it’s 99% tripe!
sigh, I remember the old days when I was able to do a pub crawl , now it's a couple of beers at home then crawl to bed😪
😂😂😂😂😂👍
So true!
😂😂😂😂
See the thing is its paddys day and am Scottish 47 in April woohoo shesh the Mora 2 cans bed yes am Scottish how times have changed xxx
ANYwayIt’s all about crawling
Nice to see the traditional style of pubs still exist in Scotland,so many have been lost in England.Great video,thanks guys.❤
Well there’s about 20,000 left 😂
very few left in Scotland they have all either closed or been "renevated" i.e. painted white and grey and had everything authentic looking thrown in the bin making you feel like you're in someone's living room in a new build
@@oscarslife5497 Ahh, the pubs in the video must have all been CGI then, aye?
Don’t be daft. Pubs are disappearing across the uk
You can tell easily how warm both of you are, and even warmer in eachothers company. Very peaceful energy from both. Very wholesome.
Really enjoyed this one Steve, what a way to spend a rainy Monday. On a side note, your videos should be prescribed on the NHS my BP reading this morning was the lowest it has been for weeks.
Some interesting pubs. Can we see you both doing more pub crawls? As the day progresses Alicja gets less clumsy but more giggly.
I never thought I'd enjoy watching a couple on a pub crawl, but, I actually did. What was interesting was how, as the day went on your reviews became more and more enthusiastic.
Can't figure out why that was ... hhmmm.
@johnericneil2455 LOL!! - Your comment did make me laugh!! 🤣
I was very pleased to watch this movie. My great-grandmother was born in Dundee. See moved to Holland when she was 17 y old and where she married my great-grandfather. 40 y ago I visited Dundee and walked through the streets where she grew up. My mother told me that she drank a glass of whisky every day, till she died when she was 92 y old. Thanks Steve...this was a meaningful movie for me! Keep going!
its my town buddy just started watching it
And they say alcohol is bad for you 😂😊
You two make me happy. Also, love the earmuffs, very cool
Great video of the pubs in Dundee. Perfect inspiration for future travels in Scotland.
P.S. 💪 done, Alicja and Steve!
This video was hilarious. The two of you together and the banter made it even more enjoyable. A feel good vid!! I don't know how you managed to stay upright, I would've been under the table after the second pub. I just wish I could give you more than one like!
Another great video. I regularly travel up to Edinburgh and Glasgow for work. Now you’ve given me a reason to stop by and spend a weekend in Dundee. Enjoyed your take on the pubs and the banter between you and Alicja priceless. Keep up the good work, you too 👍
Dundee born and bred .. moved to Philippines 14 yrs ago ... thanks for bringing back many great memories ... 😢
I just love Alicjia's laugh. Makes me smile. BTW. Start your pub crawls a little later, say 2-3 in the afternoon and it all fades into the tea time drinking which is the best time of the day. Feel free to ignore my advice as most folks do. Keep up the good work guys.
I'm from Aberdeen, and you actually made me want to go on a pub crawl to Dundee! Great video 🍻
Glad you guys enjoyed your day out visiting all those pubs. Have to say i was very impressed that you always returned your glasses to the bar when you were leaving ! :)
Awesome watch guys from here in New Zealand. I was born in NZ but went to Dundee (Wormit to be precise) as my Dad (Dundee born and bred) was in the merchant navy. Lived there until I was 5yo and returned to NZ where I have remained. 50 years on (this year) and I still haven't been back to Dundee 😞. It is my desire to travel back and find the graves of my grandparents and pay my respects. It is amazing from videos from Steve how many things remain vivid in my memory from when I was so young. The emotional attachment remains so strong. In the above video @2:05 I remembered exactly the building (recalled a tall glass facade) where Boots is where I used to get a wee Matchbox car when we went there like it was yesterday - probably been refurbished and modernised since then). Keep up the great work. I loved how organic and naturally flowing the video was too. Just for reference my grandparents lived in a wee village called Rait, then Monifieth, then Broughty Ferry until they passed. I'll need to check out some of the latter's pubs too when I get back....
Make sure you come back to Dundee, the best City in Scotland.
Another great video Steve. It was nice to see Alicia along with you.
Nice to see the different pubs in Dundee.
Glad you got back safely to Montrose.
love this video Steve. Being an Irishman that supports Dundee United, it brings me great comfort seeing two lovely people having a wee drink in the pubs of Dundee :)
These pub videos in various regions of your beautiful country are so fun and very much appreciated!
Thank you and please dont stop!
One thing that i think would make these fantastic videos even better, is to perhaps revisit them and spend more talk talking to the locals. Hear their stories, in other words. We need to keep the history alive in these various locals and you could be instrumental in that regard!
Love you both and love your enthusiasm for the country and its peoples!
Great video, love it that you two go day drinking together. That's got to be a recipe for a great relationship.
Fantastic day!! Great to get to 8pm Sat night in Queensland Australia and watch someone getting slowly inebriated!!!!!!!
9.00pm in NSW.lol
11pm here in country Victoria sharing your sentiments mate 🇦🇺🍺
"Dundee doesn't have the choice of bigger cities", he says! Well, you two, you found some belters there! That's my kind of travelogue - a glorious pub-crawl. Mind you, that special moment when the glass jumped out of Alicja's hand- "Oh sh**", I shouted! I was astonished to see all the palm trees in the park as you strolled between pubs though; Costa Tay! And that lunch spot - what a bargain! You did well to stay upright long enough to catch the train home guys. That was fun to watch!
It's Saturday night down here in Northumberland, and I fancy a dram after watching you both. Thanks for letting us all tag along with you!
Now that I enjoyed! The Lemmings were a staple of my childhood in the 90s and I took a selfie with the statues when I was in Dundee over a year ago.
I'm guessing Aberdeen pub crawl next? Best make sure Alicja has the next day off work just in case! 😂
You 2 are So Much Fun to watch. So happy to have “Found”(YT Recommended) Your Channel. I’m all up to date with ALL your Vids posted so far. I’m Very Impressed with Your “Travel Vlogs”. Keep it Up….please ❤❤
These are my favorite kinds of Steve Marsh videos. I love Dundee! Be sure to visit the Trades House Pub next time.
A lot of cities around the UK could learn from Dundee. It really seems the place has been tidied up since my last visit many years ago and the city centre actually looks quite nice and fairly clean too.
It’s honestly no. Trust me
Yes, Dundee is a photogenic place and has a good variety of interesting pubs and restaurants. Worth a visit.
Dundee is doing well, especially for food. A few decent wine bars and broughty ferrry is def the way to go
Nah
Great wee video. Broughty Ferry still has that very authentic Scottish feel to it. Very homely. Great work mate!
Hi Steve, I absolutely loved this video! It was a real memory trip for me. I went to the University of Dundee in the early 90s and visited the Phoenix a lot. It’s just as I remember it. I had a friend who lived in Broughty Ferry and like you too I preferred going out there with him on a Saturday night. I had many brilliant evenings in the Ship, the Fisherman’s, and I think the Anchor. Sometimes we’d end up in Buddies night club which was always an experience! I’m going back there in August on a nostalgia trip and can’t wait.
As an expat from Dundee great to see some favourites spent many happy times in the pillars my local in the 70s and Mennies another favourite haunt hoping to return this year so will enjoy visiting a few of them again great video as always
Note to self- don’t go on a pub crawl in Dundee like Steve and Alicja because I might end up booking a trip to Newfoundland!!! What a shame that would be 😅.
Just joking. Guys it’s been long time no speak from me but I’ve still been watching avidly. Another masterpiece from you’s two, looked like a brilliant day despite the 1or2 mishaps (personally they’re the days I always remember most fondly in the end); well done for lasting all day. Strangely just a couple of weeks ago I had an email reminder that I’ve booked to go on a group tour around Poland in September- and I’d forgotten all about it (no I haven’t constantly been drinking for the last 9 months since I last made a payment towards it 😅😅) and once again another one of your videos has given me more inspiration and probably yet more expense!!! Cheers 🍻 I think!!!
@gwc289 Have a great trip & Krakow is amazing 🤗 We were on a central Europe tour with Intrepid this past summer and thoroughly enjoyed it 😉
Oh that'll be fantastic!
@@steve-marsh certainly hoping so! Looking forward to it. Where is Alicja from?
Michty me, what a grand way to spend a day!
Not done a pub crawl for years, since a group of us with motorbikes used to go away for a lads weekend! Ah the memories!👍
Cheers Steve, nice change of pace & accompanied by your good lady too! Nice one!👍👏👏👏❤️
Absolutely loved this vlog. I enjoy seeing u both out and about at your locals!! San Diego fan 🏴🏴🇺🇸
Not "awful" - awesome! I love watching you two together💕💕
Monday morning. I love the way you Scots start the week❤
Another enjoyable film.thank you really loved seeing old pubs.now I’m off to my my local
I don't think I've ever been to Dundee.
Now I want to go. Palm trees and pubs.
Ta for that!
RSS Discovery, V&A and many shopping centres.
@@botticellirejectbotticelli2668And junkies. Lots and lots of junkies
@@botticellirejectbotticelli2668 V&A is a bit shite, though
This reminds me a bit of The Longest Crawl by Ian Marchant, the account of his journey with his friend, to travel the length of Britain visiting numerous famous and not so famous pubs on the way. The plan was to start at the most southerly pub (Scilly Isles) and finish at the most northerly (Baltasound). It's a very engrossing and amusing book full of stories and history. I recommend it for a very good read. Bill
Are you kidding? This was a GREAT video! I cannot wait for your trip to Newfoundland! 🥳
Great video! And it is great to see Alicja! I can’t believe you both weren’t completely hammered…I would have been 😅. I definitely need to visit Dundee soon.
Superb video, so much fun…you guys are so good to watch! Definitely not an awful video, I feel like I’ve actually been out with you both tonight having a great time, thank you 😊
I love your pub crawls, need to do more!!Your companion is an absolute delight!!Hope both of you are ok and not suffering too much!!
Alicja, we've all done that hunnie.😊
I absolutely love this video.
Thank you Steve and Alicja.
The ear muffs are cute.
Sending love from London. Xxx
Dundonoian here.. thanks for visiting and spending money :) Dundee is often missed.
Another wonderful video. Love that you worry that the videos won’t turn out well. I have enjoyed everyone and look forward to Saturdays to see what you are up to. Did I miss it? How much did you spend on your drinks and what were you drinking? What fun. Love the giggles.
Spent about £100 all in, great day out :)
@@steve-marshIn retrospect that sounds like it was a very personal question that I asked. Sorry about that. You frequently give us prices and I was just curious what a day of drinking would cost. I apologize if I was intrusive.
@@steve-marsh It was worth every pennyof £100 to make a really good fun video like this.
Nice video Steve , the ornate woodwork and fixtures of these pubs is lovely to see as well as a bit of Dundee as well👍.
No problem with the video, Steve, always interesting to see you out and about and even more so when Alicja has you in tow! She is a real bonus - always puts a grin on my face when I see she is included in the show! More please!
Just fab! A series of pub crawl videos would be just up my street! Loved it!
I absolutely love your pub videos. So many wonderful places to visit, and you have a remarkable knack of making everything you do interesting.
I will be visiting Dundee in May. Planning to see St Andrews and Perth. Really looking forward to it. Your videos have really helped giving me and my family ideas. Thank you again
Why Perth, Steven? It’s not a town I’d recommend anymore- it was fab 15 years ago. It’s really gone downhill after three department stores shut. Dunfermline has more going for it than Perth and I never thought I’d ever say that!
I personally wouldn’t hit most of those bars in Dundee city centre on a Friday or Saturday night but search for cocktail bars or wine bars. There is a nice bar and food in the DCA. If it’s a week night just try any of the bars he went to. 😊
Brilliant Steve and Alicia on completing the task.
Wish we were there with you.
Loved, loved this adventure! Would like to repeat your stops someday as I've only been to the pubs in Ireland....which were great, too. I give you two a lot of credit, as I doubt that I could last the entire day. Bravo!
I love your sense of humor. Dundee actually looks like a nice place. Sunny, but cold.
Another great video , good to see both of you 😊 . Y'all are my favorite youtubers . I would love to visit Scotland . I'm in the U.S. state of Georgia .
This was a fun trip to through the ages. Historically, Pubs were the meeting places and even hotels for travelers. Thank you for this journey to the past. My grandmother owned and operated a roadside inn and pub when my grandfather died. She raised my Dad and his twin sister succesfully. Loved this video. Thank you both.
Cheers from Maine. Steve, you might consider a trip around the Northumberland area for all of the Vera fans
Oh yeah! Vera! I love it! But haven't been able to watch new series as ...don't have a telly! 😮😁🏴🇮🇪🙋
Except that half the places they go to aren't in Northumberland or they change the names, I stopped watching after half way through the first episode of the last series as the lack of any proper police procedures is just naff.
@@RushfanUK
They change them for a reason.
@@BoadiceanRevenge
Don’t have a TV either and never seen a Vera Episode. But watched her filming a programme in Amble by the Sea 🌊
@@Yorkshiremadmick So what is the reason.
Great video guys as someone who has worked in a few of those pubs and loves them all as a customer, great job!
A great authentic video Steve. You were both beginning to slever away like poachers' dugs towards the end ! I have a confession to make, although I do not come from anywhere near Dundee I have visited all the pubs on your list, apart from The Tinsmith and Gunners. The Ferry is a nice wee place and The Royal Anchor just shades it from The Ship Inn. In Dundee, Phoenix Bar just shades it from The Speedwell and The Pillars. I like them all - without wishing to be compared to over-indulgent day trippers from Montrose !! The reason I am so well acquainted with the pubs so far from my home (the Glasgow area) is that I have been researching my mother's side of the family who came from Dundee and Kirkton of Auchterhouse (the family name was Fenwick). I do remember finding somewhere in my researches that Phoenix Bar got its name from the very first owner, who was also a Dundee wine merchant, called Peter Fenwick .... it was Fenwicks !!! Anyway, I couldn't find a link to him and my mother's family. Without bias, however, I would say that the overall winner was Phoenix Bar.
@Grangeburn ....my mothers side are from near kirkton of auchterhouse and a place called PITEMPTON (strathmartine/craigmill) .....many delaminated gravestones still survive in local cemetery at Craigmill....think some stones go back to 1700 or before ....before then from kettins/blairgowrie,cortachy and before then edinburgh.........current family still in same area hundreds of years later - we hate moving house :))
I found my great-grandfather's family gravestone in the graveyard of the Kirk in Kirkton of Auchterhouse. David Fenwick was his name and he was the village blacksmith. We are talking roughly around the years 1860 - 1890. His son Alexander married an Elizabeth Noonan from Dundee. My grandpa and grandma were shunned by both sides of the family as he was Kirk and she was Catholic. She gave birth to their son before being married in the Kirk at Logie? in Dundee. The Fenwicks are scattered all over the world, as are the Noonans. @@geoffdundee
@@Grangeburn ...there was a Fenwicks blacksmiths in dundee from 1905 until 2015 which went bankrupt due to loss of contracts......im sure there was a Fenwicks hardware store in Dundee around mid 1980s too......they were probably all related to you in some way....its an unusual surname too.
Fenwicks Blacksmith were at - 2 Fairfield Street Dundee.
newspaper article from 2015..
A leading Dundee blacksmiths has gone into provisional liquidation with the loss of 14 jobs.
Fenwick Blacksmiths was founded in 1904 and had an annual turnover of about £800,000, but was hit hard when fellow city firm and key customer Muirfield Contracts went into administration.
The business has closed with immediate effect, with all 14 staff let go.
The firm's assets, including property, vehicles and machinery, will now be sold off.
Liquidator Tom MacLennan, of FRP Advisory, said: "Fenwick Blacksmiths was a highly regarded specialist blacksmith business with a good customer base. The administration of Muirfield Contracts meant that the company was unable to continue trading.
"This is a difficult time for the staff and we will provide as much support to them as possible."
@@geoffdundee Sent them an e-mail many years ago but they never got back to me. Couldn’t find a direct link anyway. Thanks Geoff.
This was fantastic. So great to see you both on this pub adventure crawl. It was excellent. Also inviting you to the other end of Canada. Come to the rockies, you will love it.
Great date day out for both of you love the old pubs 😊😊😊😊😊 I couldn't drink all day espescially in cold weather
Love your nails, Alicja. Thanks for taking us on a pub crawl. I'd be apprehensive going into some of the pubs from looking at them from the outside, but not one turned out to be heck no. The pubs are like our Irish pubs, snugs and all.
Like the idea of steak & black pudding pie. Wish they would sell them in the main shops.
👍
Oh wow, that was a fantastic video. Can't believe I put off watching it just because you said it was bad. Such a lot of fun. Like an afternoon out at a cosy pub or two!
Thanks for showing us around these fine old pubs around Dundee. Guess I'm too old and burnt out to appreciate liquid spirits at 11am with no food. Videoing much quieter before ,say, tea time. But coffee,food, exploring seems to feel more comfortable around American 'toddy time' (5:30p) when drinking really picks up. I'm glad you youngsters are enjoying all the drink offerings and still have healthy livers. Pub crawl for young adventurers.
Thanks for bringing us along😊
Hey Steve, New Time Patreon and Long Time Fan here, love seeing your (and sometimes A's) Adventures. You have insprised me to travel these unusual journeys more and Inverness and Dundee are on my list of places to go this summer after an overnight sleeper from Londo, so good to see some pub options to go to while I am there!
Thanks so much mate!!!
I enjoyed your pub crawl. One of the reasons I like going to Scotland. Pubs are unique and sooooo old! I will be in Rothesay in August so may have to do some pub crawling there. Alicia is such a trooper. Hugs to you both. Cheers
My visit to Rothesay stems from one of your videos. Thank you🥰
I don’t know how I stumbled upon this video. However, really enjoyed it.
Spent nearly 4yrs in Dundee leaving in 2002, still don't think I managed all the pubs, was too busy working in Flares nightclub myself..
A fantastic wee city that I still miss to this day..
Good to see you both spending some quality time together mate! Both deserve a wee drink and some fun together ✊🏻🏴
Loving the Lemmings tribute - played that game loads on my humble Commodore Amiga in 90s... while reading Dandy and Beano
Steve you two are just excellent, Great Pub Crawl!!! Makes me want to book a flight from Ecuador and come join you two on adventure! Thanks so much for this!!
I'm impressed. In my younger days (in 1969) I arranged with a friend that we would walk from the suberbs of Copenhagen, where we lived, to the Town Hall Square in Copenhagen and stop at every bar on the way and have one beer. A tour of less than 20 kilometers. We did'nt recon there would be so many places, so it would be an easy task to do and youh'd probably get sober on the way walking to the next stop. In the beginning, there were some distance between the bars, so it went off quite well. But after a while the bars got more frequent and on around the 10 kilometer mark we were unable to walk or stand, so the project were cancelled.
But we had a fun day 😀
Great video! Me and my friends recently did 7 pub crawl in London, all pubs that were around before the great fire of London and still pubs today, really good day out
I love this pair ..I'd have had enough after 3 pints! Hats off to this girl! And I'd really live to go to Dundee! Thank you!
Up super early for taking our own trip! Bonus…watching a Steve video right after posting! Yay!
Great video!!! Love the pub crawls. You two are the best. Thanks for sharing!
Nice video, but a little unfair on the Dundee pubs - expecting an atmosphere on a Monday morning. I was in Mennie's (The Speedwell) the day after you - as the painting had just been finished. It's the best trad bar by far - cask ales, best whisky collection I've seen in a city cente bar for years, no music. Funnily enough I got talking to a Spanish (or Portugese) guy next to me at the bar who was a beer afficianado, and he said he often travelled into Dundee from Broughty Ferry (where he lived), just to have a beer in Mennie's. Mennie was the name of the German lady who ran the bar in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Mrs Mennie wasn't German. Her nephew Ian who was bar manager, his wife was German.
Loved the video but I can’t drink once I’ve had something to eat , just want to sleep 😂
This couldn't have came at a better time! Dundonian here....
Just came off the drink 4 weeks ago - this was a very safe way for me to enjoy the pub from home.
Cheers guys! 😀👌
Great video. Dundee was my stomping ground in the late 70s/80s so it was great to see so many of my old haunts.
What a lovely video, Gives me the feels for pubs in the old country. Keep making these, great work!
Great video Steve must say the last pubs you visited certainly looked the nicest. Cheers( no pun intended lol)
Thank-you both, you just made my Sunday night, had a laugh and a giggle..it was only a couple of weeks ago my Sister and l went on a Pub crawl, her idea we only managed to visit 6 Hotels but we were drinking Pints at each location and usually 3 or 4 before moving onto the next..i rang in sick the next day for work...what was your stories did you rise and shine...hehe..have to admit though you were both very strong...some of those places were cosy and comfortable it would be so easy to stay and yack to the locals...thanks again regards Doc from Down Under
The lemmings game was born in Dundee. 2 of my cousins were in the team who created it!
Love the old fashioned pubs thanks for your video of Dundee been all over Scotland but never been to Dundee would like to go x
It's amazing how little Alicja's Polish accent is being swamped by the Scottish !!😅
Your hair looks amazing too, 'Kapusta' !! 😉😉😆😆❤️
We were on a week long train holiday in Scotland from Ireland. Visited the Pillars pub in Dundee after watching your video. It was busy during the afternoon and a nice gentlemen offered us to join him. Turns out he was the owner of the pub, John Justice. Gave you and your videos a mention. He remembered your visit and was glad to know it was generating business for him. We were educated on the paintings and other items over a couple of drinks. Great recommendation Steve.😀🍺
Can't wait for the St. John's, NL video !
Been in most of those pubs! For Dundee being a small city it has more than its fair share of boozers, and lots of decent ones too! It’s almost like it’s got a pub on every street. I miss my days in Dundee! Great video, thanks for this one ☺️👍🏻
That pie sounds delicious I have not come across that combination before, it might be worth travelling 400 miles for one. You do make some great videos and I didn’t mention in a previous comment that I had some Scottish ancestry but I forgot to mention I also have a Polish ancestor.
Enjoy the pub crawl best thing on a cold day.
Love a steady pub crawl. No mention of the Handsom Cab. Worked on the Asda carpark ( tarmac ) in the late 70's/early 80's. Travelled up from Leeds every Monday morning. Good times were had in that boozer. Fond memories of youth !
Visit frequently
Hansom Cab at the end of the Seagate is now called Tickety Boos. It's a good pub 👍
Handsome cab is now Tickity boos
You both done a grand job as you say in Scotland from Colin S. I. Cardiff South Wales
Thanks, Steve, for the memories. I used to live in the Ferry and work in the city. You covered many personal favourites. Historic note. The Fishermans is where I set my (then) long hair on fire. Hogmanay 1973, a date burnt into my memory.
Fun day! I don't drink alcohol, but would love to visit a few of the pubs, and honestly, a drink can be soda, right?!
Absolutely!
Hey, loved watching the Dundee pub crawl. Has given us some inspiration about heading into Dundee (on the bus from Blairgowrie) and trying out some of these quirky pubs!
Really loved the video, we understand that it can be difficult to film but you still manage to capture the feel and atmosphere of the pubs.
Thank you for entertaining us! 🍻
PS: Alicia, don't cry over spilt beer - it was an accident 😊
The Dundee pubs seemed more like what we call "sticky floor boozers".
We loved watching Steve getting gigglier as the day progressed! Cheers! 🍻
I used to do similar to yourselves for about 30 years while working away. From Lands end to Inverness!
Loved it and loving this!❤
In my 75 years I only ever did one time a pub run in Dundee. As far as I remember it was some sort of business seminar in my 30s (1980s) and we were all staying at a modest guesthouse in the outskirts. So we all ventured into the city clubs and we were not made welcome by the local lads at all. Quite nasty. Lucky I had access to Dundee Uni students club and we felt safe there. Never drank there again. Just pass through. Oh well.
I am American. Now that is our of the way, when i get to Scotland in a couple of years, i am asking, make that begging, for you both to be my tour guides. I am 55, so I am not the drinker that i was but I will make the exception in exchange for your company.
You know I searched your channel for 'Falkirk', but was surprised to not find a video.
Any plans to visit Falkirk and the Kelpies?
I have it penciled in to do a walk between them both. I'm glad to still have plenty options for the channel :) I certainly walked through Falkirk on my 'attempted' walk from Edinburgh to Glasgow video
Excellent. Remember to check out Falkirks oldest pub(The WheatSheaf 1797), for a nice hand pulled pint.@@steve-marsh
