I’d like to thank you both for your videos. As a Scotsman living in London - You took me home - with some stunning footage. I’m glad that you find Scotland a beautiful country. Haste ye Back. All the best for your travels now and always. Rab
Hi, that's quite a contrast living in London! Really good to hear you enjoyed the video and we must say Scotland has been incredible and we can't wait to return 😊 Thanks very much for watching and here is the full playlist so far of our UK and Ireland tour: th-cam.com/play/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zUtFe7yIi6rO-2-k465D31.html&si=YOu3L_JcrBll4SDl
1 off the best place to ride in the world if you have the weather but the midges are fierce better staying in local B&Bs better priced than hotels keep injoying Scotland 🏴🍻
Agreed! It really is amazing. We do get some great weather in the coming days and somehow managed to avoid the midges. We searched all accommodation, the B&B's at time were almost double the price of the chain hotels (we always prefer to stay in teh local run places but they were just too expensive). Thanks for your comment and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series! 😎👍
Hi Martin, thanks for joining us on the tour! Great to hear you have enjoyed the videos and we still have lots more of the trip to share. Thanks for your comment and we will catch in the next one 😎👍
hi sean and emily ,just watching your vlog ,i have subscribed its a relaxing watch ,you made right decision regarding your tyres,im retired mechanic ,still have my tyre bay . 2 youse just flow on yiur journeys ,and great and easy to watch ,hope 2 ys enjoy scotland.
Hi Yule, welcome to the channel! Always nice to have mechanic watching 😎👍 Glad you agree with the tires, must say they have been very good so far. Really happy to hear you enjoyed the video and in case you want to catch up on the series so far here is the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zUtFe7yIi6rO-2-k465D31.html&si=sd4EOKT9SoqSJIkZ
Thanks very much! We appreciate your positivity 😊 Yeah it's been amazing to travel through the highlands like this - an absolutely spectacular country!
Great video and stunning drone footage as usual as I am sure we have all come to expect from you two, , yes Eilan Donan was used in the opening sequence of "Highlander" and many other films, I believe it's the most photographed castle in Scotland. The Commando memorial and garden in Spean Bridge affords great views. The highlands of Scotland are packed with history as I am sure you will come to realise. Please keep posting the videos you are doing a great service. Thanks.
Hi Brian, thanks for your comment and it's nice to hear you are enjoying the videos! Thanks for the information and yeah there is so much to learn about the history of Scotland that we will need to come back again and discover teh country as a more relaxed pace and take the time to discover new places too. Lots more videos on the way and here is the playlist of the tour in case you have missed any. Thanks for watching and we look forwards to hearing from you again 😎👍 th-cam.com/play/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zUtFe7yIi6rO-2-k465D31.html&si=R2vh5TPL3XZrpKLn
Excellent videos of my country, we are so lucky to have stunning roads and scenery that blends in perfectly. Road engineering with bikers needs up front. More great roads await you, well done guys. 👏👏
Hi Ewen, it's been amazing traveling through Scotland. Having travelled through every country in Europe there was something special about Scotland - just spectacular! We look forwards to sharing the rest of the trip and as you say more great roads await 😎👍 Thanks for watching and we appreciate your positive comment!
I always remember my first time riding the road to the Isle of Skye back in the mid 70’s with my then girlfriend on my Honda CB200 and being completely blown away by the scenery. We stopped at a viewpoint and as far as you could see in all directions were open mountain tops. The Eileen Donan castle is certainly one of the most picturesque castles. You will love the Applecross pass as well, I have a shot of one of my current bikes on the pass as my screensaver…. Looking forward to reliving the amazing scenery as you continue your journey, I’ve been back many times over the last 50yrs and the roads and scenery never disappoint 😊
Hi, sounds like you have some very fond memories of this area. Must have been great to ride through Scotland in the 70's! and really cool on the CB200 😎 The Applecross episode will be out on Wednesday and we look forwards to hearing what you think of it 😊 We think one could ride through Scotland time after time and never get used to how spectacular the scenery is. Thanks for watching and we look forwards to hearing from you again 😎👍
@@SeanandEmily I agree entirely, I don’t think you can ever tire of the scenery, it truly is world class and I’ve always described it as motorcycling nirvana 🤩 (so long as the weather is kind of course 😂)
@@reinmansmith you'll know exactly what I mean then when I say the biggest issue with the north of Scotland now compared to previous decades, is the traffic. The NC500 may have helped the tourism of the area tremendously but in many ways it's also spoilt it. Memories of spending the day riding from Ullapool to Tongue and apart from the small towns on the way, I bet I could have counted the number of other vehicles all day on one hand!
Im from Edinburgh and rode my bike all over Scotland but the climb up to Apple cross is mental bye the way enjoy,ps try to stay in your lane on single track roads coz all the gravel gets thown into the middle as you've prob noticed
Hi Garry, great to hear you've been able to ride all over Scotland, there must be so many routes to explore! Yeah plenty of things to think about on those single track roads, thanks for the heads up. The Apple Cross episode will be out on Wednesday 😎👍
The landscape is becoming more and more beautiful and the roads look very nice to drive. I imagine it must be fun to drive. And the view from above is again amazing. It gives such an nice impression of the area.
Yes, thanks the further North we get the more remote and beautiful teh landscape becomes. The roads are a lot of fun to ride and road conditions are very good too. 👍
Hi Nelio, thanks very much! The scenery in Scotland looks amazing and it's hard not to film everything 😆 Thanks for your comment and we will catch you in the next one 😎👍
Great stuff, brilliant tank range on that Bmw, how have you found the reliability with the Bmw Sean? I've heard about the final drive problems etc, suppose on a fairly new bike it should all be ok. Em is a great co pilot, hotel prices there a bit of a rip off there, a tent makes things much more affordable.
Yeah the tank range is fantastic, it's great to fill up and know you really don't need to think about it again all day. We have done 35,000 km on this bike since we got it last March 2023 and it's been great. Only issue is the SOS system needs a software update. I think the issue with the final drive was down to water getting trapped where it shouldn't but they did a recall (where i think they literally drilled a hole) and i think the final drive needs replacing every 60k. Yeah Em is a perfect co Pilot and does a fantastic job of filming. Yeah a tent for sure would save a lot! -just makes recharging all the equipment difficult. Although had we known the weather would have been this good for sure we would have brought the camping gear. 😎👍
Safe Travels on your journey through Apple Cross and beyond , you are capturing and broadcasting some excellent highlights of Scotland, "Mìle taing" , A thousand thanks.
Many thanks! We really appreciate your kind words of encouragement! It's an honor to be able to showcase the beauty of Scotland and the scenery over the next few days was just breathtaking. One of our favorite tours for sure! Full playlist so far: th-cam.com/play/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zUtFe7yIi6rO-2-k465D31.html&si=3SnOPtJZymjqLR-y
Great video guys. We were on the same road with Nessie recently when we traveled from Glasgow to the Island of Skye as part of our Outer Hebrides trip to Lewis & Harris. Enjoy the Applecross Pass & keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
That sounds like a great trip! We would like to come back and visit the Islands of Scotland, but for this tour we will be sticking to the mainland. Applecross episode will be out on Wednesday 😊 Thanks as always for watching and catch you in the next one 😎👍
Brings back memories of my own trip round the NC500 in 2022. Time for another visit I think. Inspiring shots from your drone giving a totally different perspective of this beautiful land. I must watch your previous videos now .I'm hooked thanks for taking us with you guys.👍
Nice! Guessing you will recognize most of teh journey then, it's a fantastic ride with some spectacular scenery. Glad to hear you like the videos! They are all in Playlists in case you want to watch them in order . Thanks for watching 😎👍
Bicycled from Inverness to fort William a few years back and also found fort William a lit more expensive than outher parts of Scotland .. probably because its a tourist hot spot .
Just off the Ferry to Spain, and 1st time to relax with Wifi, great to checkout another one of your Scottish tour, breathtaking roads and scenery, perfectly captured as always :)
@@SeanandEmilyNext time you’re back, check out the Nevis Bakery, The old Deli and the Kilted Camel for some alternative Spoons breakfast. The fort has some cracking bars, restaurants & coffee shops. I realise Spoons is known quantity and you know what you’re going to get, however you definitely missed out on some tasty Scottish cooked breakfasts and scrumptious pies for your journey from the Nevis Bakery. Much better than pot noodles & protein bars. Haste ye back!
Great suggestions so thanks 😉 Yeah this trip lasts a total of 4 weeks so as much as we would like to try every local restaurant and cafés the costs do add up in the end so some budget options here and there really do help. The Pot noodles and protein bars are an emergency for when we have ridden all day and arrived too late for dinner (we kept on arriving 30 min after the kitchen closes lol ) -it happened more often that planned lol
Your making a great video for us folks,it's just a pity you've not had the sunshine yet,as the mountains and Lochs would have looked completely different for youz!
Hi Gary, just happy it's not pouring down for the moment 😊 But as we head North the sun does come out so can't complain about a couple of days overcast. Scotland has been spectacular and we are looking forwards to seeing how the rest of the footage came out. Thanks for watching 😎👍
After watching another wonderful video, i have a question for Emily. Have you thought of riding your own bike? You do make fantastic video's from the back seat ofcourse, but don't you want to experience the beautifull roads yourself? on the other hand, you two make great duo! driving and filming. Just wondering..🙂
Thanks, yes i do have my own bike (G310R) but we prefer to travel together like this and be able to create these videos. There's something about being together on the bike and sharing the journey like this that I wouldn't want to change. Being able to enjoy the surroundings completely without having to concentrate on the road is also a great experience when traveling through new places. 😊
Loved this and have or had no interest in bikes! I grew up near those mountains around the 18' mark, I have walked them all, great to see them so stunningly filmed.
It's great to hear you can enjoy the videos without an interest in bikes, for us the bikes lets us explore places easily and really gives us the feel for the country. You experience the smells, the cold, the rain and have unrestricted views of everything around you and the freedom to stop and go most places. We were actually saying to each other how great it would be to live here and have the time to walk through all these Glens. We appreciate your comment and are very happy to hear you like the videos. Thanks Colin
@@SeanandEmily I grew up by Loch Ness, about 25 miles down the road from Cluanie, (of empty petrol pump fame). And in 1985 I actually stayed an entire summer in Cluanie, pumping gas at those very petrol pumps. To say it was cold and wet would be an understatement, it poured with rain every single day, bar two (it was atypically wet, even for the Western Highlands) Coming back to Loch Ness for a day off work was reverse culture shock, like landing in Norway after spending a year in Spitzbergen. I think your characterisation of the Highlands being lush and barren is very true; you can hike uphill from rainforest to polar desert in under an hour. Very interesting to get your impressions of the Highlands, obviously intelligent but not much preconceptions, there's no secondhand erudition here.
Just found your channel, easy watch and nicely edited… we did the NC500 a few years ago, Applecross /Ullapool / Durness is out of this world Recommend the waterside house B&B in Ullapool and a visit to the Cocoa mountain chocolate shop in Durness if you go up that far . Enjoy! PS 4G and a Lidl in Thurso haha
Hi Sean! (Great name btw 😉) welcome to the channel and we are glad to have you with us. Thanks very much -great to get positive feedback like that. Applecross coming up in the next episode on Wednesday and as you say totally out out of this world! Thanks for the recommendations, we do love a Lidl or an Aldi!! - cutting costs of all our European tours haha 😉 Thanks for watching and we look forwards to hearing from you again. Sean and Emily 😎👍
Hi, I am enjoying your videos of your tour of Scotland. I have never been, and it is on my bucket list, especially the NC500. I have Conti road attacks 4 tyres on my Tigger, Tiger sports 660. I am really pleased with them. I am looking forward to the next part of your Scottish tour. Take care
Hi Susan, thanks very much for your comment - it's lovely to hear you are enjoying the videos. Scotland has been on our list for a long time too and it's been amazing to finally ride here. Great choice of tires! We really like them -they offer fantastic levels of grip even in the rain so really pleased with them and glad you like them too. Thanks for following the Journey and we look forwards to sharing the rest of the tour 😊👍
Hi Danny, Welcome to the Channel! It's great to hear from you and we are really happy that you are enjoying the videos! Maybe see you on the road sometime 😎👍 Playlist for this Tour: th-cam.com/play/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zUtFe7yIi6rO-2-k465D31.html&si=rjdJtVGSprMtZDB4
Ben Nevis as you probably know is the highest mountain in the UK and the mountains over 3000ft are known as Munros (I’m sure Sean has researched all this info. The view point is known as the Commando memorial as I’m sure you saw the Memorial and memorial Garden there. That area was used in the training of the Commandos in WW11 hence the memorial. Again guys a fantastic episode with amazing drone footage. The A87 is my favourite road closely followed by the A93 (Braemar) Be thankful that there was no petrol at your first stop as you would’ve lost an arm and a leg to pay for it.
Hi Norrie, yeah it's an impressive mountain indeed -always wanted to climb it but never got around to it. An ideal landscape to train commandos. Yeah i you are probably right! Fortunately there was another one around the corner. Thanks for your comment and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😎👍
Eileen Donan castle is famous the world over and has featured in multiple tv series such as Highlander - how could you not visit it - McCloud will turn in his grave. A lot of the lakes resemble sea inlets - they’re so vast. I guess Scotland will never suffer from droughts. Another captivating video - keep it up guys.
Too busy and not not enough time to be going into castles -growing up in Wales we have had our fair share of Castle visits 😉 Indeed the Lochs are so vast. Spectacular country and we are looking forwards to sharing the rest of the journey 😊
Thanks very much Charles, so many beautiful sights in Scotland to document we had to keep the cameras rolling all day 😉. We had an amazing time in Scotland and as you will see in the next episodes it just kept getting better and better! Thanks for watching 😎👍
If you are still up there, can I recommend Hillview Park b&b in Muir of Ord, only 70 quid a night per person. Great for basing yourself for epic drives like Torridon and Dundonnell. South Skye is only a few hrs away.
Thanks very much! Great to hear you are enjoying them and we hope we do Scotland proud and showcase it 😊 You are indeed very lucky to live in this part of the world, it's absolutely breathtaking and the peace and quiet is amazing. Thanks for your comment and we hope you enjoy the rest of teh series as we head further north.
Not sure prices in Switzerland, but I'm ashamed of some of the Scottish accommodation prices - I think they are gouging tourists. The Conti RA4 are single compound tyres, but heat treated to give a harder wearing centre. Keep up the good work!
Based on this trip to Scotland we would say prices are similar ( Switzerland is know for being very expensive for everything) only Swiss hotels almost always include a breakfast. But I guess if there's enough people coming then they need to make up for the quieter months, still it was a lot more that we expected. Ahh interesting! we presumed they were dual compound but yeah you are right -they have been great so far so really happy with them. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of the tour 😎👍
Absolutely epic ride! Thankfully Shadow has a huge range, nothing worse than a small tank on a touring bike! Can I ask Shaun what is the make and model of helmet you use and do you find it especially noisy? This episode flew by, looking forward to the next one! Cheers.
Thanks! We had an awesome day exploring Scotland. Yeah so thankful of the big tank, takes away a lot of thought about tanking up. We are using a Touratech Helmet that's manufactured by NEXX. They are really good helmets and although no helmet is noise free we do find these are well insulated so are not too loud. Here's a link to the exact model: www.touratech.com/aventuro-pro-carbon.html
Haha, always makes me chuckle when you get range anxiety at 120 mile. I think my range is only 120-140 from full with no fuel gauge and only a little light comes on to let you know you should start panicking 😂 I think that section of road from Invergarry up to the castle is one of my favourite rides. Awesome scenery though the riding does tend to get "spirited"...
Haha i make myself laugh about that too! I keep telling myself I've had bikes that have had less range full than when i feel the need to fill up lol -i think it's because the fuel strip on my R1200 once stuck and it went from 120 km range to 0 in about 10 seconds on a motorway. Yeah that road is great and i can see how it can make for a 'spirited' ride 😆😎👍
Fortunately we had great weather for the road to Apple Cross (episode will be out on Wednesday), We were very fortunate with the weather during this entire trip - as soon as we arrived in Folkstone the sun came out and appeared to follow us around Ireland 😎👍
Just be careful the further North you come there are less and less fences to keep the animals in . I've met sheep, highland coos and even a couple of buzzards just standing on the road
Another fabulous video, Sean & Ems 👏👏👀⛰️⛰️ i just love how relaxed Emily is as you are touring around the roads. Never ever ridden 2 up, but is it hard ? i suppose the gsa is a good bike for that. 😊
Hi Stevie, thanks very much 😎👍 Yeah it's important to gain your pillions trust so they can relax and enjoy the ride too. With the right bike it's not hard, Super Sports bikes tend to be tricky as they are really only designed for 1 person but touring and adventure bikes make it very easy for both rider and pillion. Having a pillion that knows what to do is half the battle too, nothing worse than an inexperienced pillion suddenly moving around mid corner. As we have ridden two up so much the bike feels strange when i don't have Emily on the back. 😊
Can't believe you've not heard of Eilean Donan castle! It's possibly the most famous in Scotland and thanks to them filming Braveheart there, one of the most famous in the world. I'm guessing that the petrol station with no fuel was Shieldaig, in which case I'm very sorry to say you've missed one of the most amazing viewpoints in Scotland ☹️
Yeah of course we have heard of this castle (we pinned it to the route) but had never actually seen it or knew much about it. The petrol station that was empty was the Cluanie Inn Fuel Pump. Shieldaig is North of Eilean castle and will be coming soon just after the Apple cross pass episode (we are heading North) and as you say wow was it spectacular!
Ah, my mistake. Sorry. Don't know that petrol station! The view I was referring to isn't Applecross, although yes, it is spectacular. Immediately after Shieldaig, there's a turning to the left for the old ferry to Skye. This road takes you over the tops and along here is a viewpoint of the Five Sisters of Kintail, which is one of the most awesome sights I've ever seen. If you did sadly miss it, recommend it for next time!
Hopefully we saw it 😊 - the days are a blur of spectacular sights. We did ride through Shieldaig and it was a place we would love to live! As you say there's always a next time if we did miss it 😊
@@randyfrog1969 Thanks. The five sisters of Kintail, that's one for the next trip, we loved Shieldag also, such a spectacular place. Applecross wasn't as difficult as I'd heard about, dodging the caper vans was the worst bit😄
You are right about the cost of travel in Norway. This is mainly due to our struggling currency compared to the euro or pound sterling. Hence there are a lot of tourists here this year. Anyway, I love your videos. Cheers 😊
Hi, we traveled to Norway late in the season last year and were pleasantly surprised by the cost and availability of the wooden cabins. Norway was spectacular and also one of our favorite trips! (as you may have seen in the Heading North Playlist 😊). Thanks for watching and we hope to hear form you again soon 😎👍
@@SeanandEmilyThank You for Your kind reply. I met a Swiss cyclist here this summer and she said that Switzerland was more expensive than Norway. Cheers and safe travels 😊
Only just found your channel so got a lot to catch up on, but enjoyed the three videos so far in Scotland. Looking forward to the next crop 👍👍 also don’t pay any attention to the crop of people moaning about the way you pronounce things the majority of us won’t be that bothered.
Hey mate, welcome to the channel! We hope you enjoy the videos (there’s a fair few on here now) Scotland has been amazing and we got some incredible footage do really enjoying making this series. Thanks for your words of encouragement, it’s like some people just watch to find the smallest thing to have a moan about lol 🤣. Not to worry nothing will stop us doing what we enjoy. Thanks for watching and we are looking forwards to hearing from you again 😎🙌🏻
I thought I recognised that castle from the film Entrapment. It seems Eilean Donan Castle was also used for many other films including The World Is Not Enough and Highlander
Please use local businesses, nothing against Wetherspoons but locals cannot compete against their " economies of scale" advantages. There is a saying in Glasgow which goes something like this..." I remember when Greggs was the worst bakery in the High St... now it's the only one"
Yeah we do use local businesses when we can, but unfortunately our budget for this tour is not unlimited. Happy to say the restaurants and bars looked like they were doing a good business from tourism and there was a lot of locals using Weatherspoons too. 👍
We did last year, we thoroughly enjoy Scotland and for we saw more camper vans in Norway although Norway is huge so can take them. Norway was one of our favourites trips ever! th-cam.com/play/PLl_mRzVHVQ0wBDli8y7IjlY2Q4MBPnA0u.html&si=d29zDL2YEThjqdKC
No, it’s just demand, too many visitors and too little accommodation…the whole of the west coast and Highlands are the same. In my opinion the trip is worth the cost.
Well we hope you feel better after getting that off your chest, you probably shouldn't watch the next episode as you might let yourself get triggered again 🤣
@@geo752 what’s that got to do with anything then. The Gaelic name is BEALACH NA BA. PASS OF THE CATTLE. nothing to do with applecross that’s the name of a town. 🤡
@@alexshaw2055the road is signposted road to Applecross, calling it the Bealach na ba the Applecross pass, the road to Applecross or even the pass of the cattle makes no difference everybody knows what is meant, not worth ranting over tbh
I’m Scottish and live in Scotland and have done the NC500 many times but can you please refer to actual Scottish terms. It’s a Glen Not a valley. Lochs not lakes and please stop saying British as the majority of us are Scottish not British. Your videos are good though
Coming from Wales we would not expect you to always use Welsh terms when visiting Wales however we do of course respect that you are Scottish (Sean's Dad is Scottish too), the same as if you were to visit our current home Switzerland you would not be expected to use German terms. This being our second day in Scotland you can't expect us to change the way we think and speak instantly and we keep this channel as natural as we can (no pre rehearsed conversations). That being said of course we want to use the Scottish terms, there's so many spectacular sights in Scotland and we are looking forwards to sharing the rest of the trip. We hope you can understand that we will at times revert back to terms that we have been using all of our lives especially when we are taken back by the landscapes and just want to express ourselves naturally. We hope you enjoy the rest of the series as we do our best to showcase Scotland's Lochs and Glens 😉
@@SeanandEmilyif you two keep this up the clan chiefs will be gathering to hunt you down 😂😂😂 please continue to enjoy Scotland and speak about it your own way 👍

We ride into Tongue in the evening as the sun is setting, don't remember seeing another car -it was one of those never forget rides 😊
Im from Edinburgh and rode my bike all over Scotland but the climb up to Apple cross is mental bye the way enjoy,ps try to stay in your lane on single track roads coz all the gravel gets thown into the middle as you've prob noticed
Hi Garry, great to hear you've been able to ride all over Scotland, there must be so many routes to explore!
Yeah plenty of things to think about on those single track roads, thanks for the heads up.
The Apple Cross episode will be out on Wednesday 😎👍
The landscape is becoming more and more beautiful and the roads look very nice to drive. I imagine it must be fun to drive. And the view from above is again amazing. It gives such an nice impression of the area.
Yes, thanks the further North we get the more remote and beautiful teh landscape becomes. The roads are a lot of fun to ride and road conditions are very good too. 👍
What an awesome episode!! And the drone footage with that perfect soundtrack choice, simply WOW!! Thank you Sean & Emily! 👍👍
Hi Nelio, thanks very much! The scenery in Scotland looks amazing and it's hard not to film everything 😆 Thanks for your comment and we will catch you in the next one 😎👍
Great stuff, brilliant tank range on that Bmw, how have you found the reliability with the Bmw Sean? I've heard about the final drive problems etc, suppose on a fairly new bike it should all be ok.
Em is a great co pilot, hotel prices there a bit of a rip off there, a tent makes things much more affordable.
Yeah the tank range is fantastic, it's great to fill up and know you really don't need to think about it again all day. We have done 35,000 km on this bike since we got it last March 2023 and it's been great. Only issue is the SOS system needs a software update. I think the issue with the final drive was down to water getting trapped where it shouldn't but they did a recall (where i think they literally drilled a hole) and i think the final drive needs replacing every 60k.
Yeah Em is a perfect co Pilot and does a fantastic job of filming. Yeah a tent for sure would save a lot! -just makes recharging all the equipment difficult. Although had we known the weather would have been this good for sure we would have brought the camping gear. 😎👍
Safe Travels on your journey through Apple Cross and beyond , you are capturing and broadcasting some excellent highlights of Scotland, "Mìle taing" , A thousand thanks.
Many thanks! We really appreciate your kind words of encouragement! It's an honor to be able to showcase the beauty of Scotland and the scenery over the next few days was just breathtaking. One of our favorite tours for sure!

Great video guys. We were on the same road with Nessie recently when we traveled from Glasgow to the Island of Skye as part of our Outer Hebrides trip to Lewis & Harris. Enjoy the Applecross Pass & keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
That sounds like a great trip! We would like to come back and visit the Islands of Scotland, but for this tour we will be sticking to the mainland. Applecross episode will be out on Wednesday 😊 Thanks as always for watching and catch you in the next one 😎👍
Brings back memories of my own trip round the NC500 in 2022. Time for another visit I think. Inspiring shots from your drone giving a totally different perspective of this beautiful land. I must watch your previous videos now .I'm hooked thanks for taking us with you guys.👍
Nice! Guessing you will recognize most of teh journey then, it's a fantastic ride with some spectacular scenery. Glad to hear you like the videos! They are all in Playlists in case you want to watch them in order . Thanks for watching 😎👍
Bicycled from Inverness to fort William a few years back and also found fort William a lit more expensive than outher parts of Scotland .. probably because its a tourist hot spot .
That must have been a great Cycle -nice one! Yeah i guess so, was expecting it to be a little more pricey than usual. 👍
Just off the Ferry to Spain, and 1st time to relax with Wifi, great to checkout another one of your Scottish tour, breathtaking roads and scenery, perfectly captured as always :)
Exciting!! The ferry is a great for forced relax time 😊 Have a great trip Tim!
It is for sure, thanks
Bealach na ba, pass of the cows.
Yep 👍🏻
Hi Guys, well, as good as ever i must say. Great to drop in and watch a superb feel good factor video…kindest regards.
Hi Beans! We hope you are well 😊
We have had such a great time touring the UK! Glad you enjoyed the video and great to hear from you 😎👍
Really enjoying the channel now great drone shots safe travels & best of luck 👍👍👍
Hi Michael, great you hear you are enjoying the channel and we are looking forwards to sharing teh rest of the trip 😎
Great video. Question, what are the squiggly lines on the road at cross walks?
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! I believe they indicate that parking, stopping and overtaking in this zone is prohibited
@@SeanandEmily That’s what I thought. We need those here.
So if random Zig Zags appear you might get some questions asked now 😂
Fantastic video Sean and Emily, safe journey, take care. ❤
Thanks so much Davie! We appreciate your support 😎👍
@@SeanandEmilyNext time you’re back, check out the Nevis Bakery, The old Deli and the Kilted Camel for some alternative Spoons breakfast. The fort has some cracking bars, restaurants & coffee shops. I realise Spoons is known quantity and you know what you’re going to get, however you definitely missed out on some tasty Scottish cooked breakfasts and scrumptious pies for your journey from the Nevis Bakery. Much better than pot noodles & protein bars. Haste ye back!
Great suggestions so thanks 😉 Yeah this trip lasts a total of 4 weeks so as much as we would like to try every local restaurant and cafés the costs do add up in the end so some budget options here and there really do help. The Pot noodles and protein bars are an emergency for when we have ridden all day and arrived too late for dinner (we kept on arriving 30 min after the kitchen closes lol ) -it happened more often that planned lol
I hope that you get a chance to do the beautiful East Coast too. Fewer midges for a start.
Will be heading back south via the East Coast 😊
Your making a great video for us folks,it's just a pity you've not had the sunshine yet,as the mountains and Lochs would have looked completely different for youz!
Hi Gary, just happy it's not pouring down for the moment 😊 But as we head North the sun does come out so can't complain about a couple of days overcast. Scotland has been spectacular and we are looking forwards to seeing how the rest of the footage came out. Thanks for watching 😎👍
After watching another wonderful video, i have a question for Emily.
Have you thought of riding your own bike? You do make fantastic video's from the back seat ofcourse, but don't you want to experience the beautifull roads yourself? on the other hand, you two make great duo! driving and filming. Just wondering..🙂
Thanks, yes i do have my own bike (G310R) but we prefer to travel together like this and be able to create these videos. There's something about being together on the bike and sharing the journey like this that I wouldn't want to change. Being able to enjoy the surroundings completely without having to concentrate on the road is also a great experience when traveling through new places. 😊
Loved this and have or had no interest in bikes! I grew up near those mountains around the 18' mark, I have walked them all, great to see them so stunningly filmed.
It's great to hear you can enjoy the videos without an interest in bikes, for us the bikes lets us explore places easily and really gives us the feel for the country. You experience the smells, the cold, the rain and have unrestricted views of everything around you and the freedom to stop and go most places.
We were actually saying to each other how great it would be to live here and have the time to walk through all these Glens. We appreciate your comment and are very happy to hear you like the videos. Thanks Colin
@@SeanandEmily I grew up by Loch Ness, about 25 miles down the road from Cluanie, (of empty petrol pump fame). And in 1985 I actually stayed an entire summer in Cluanie, pumping gas at those very petrol pumps. To say it was cold and wet would be an understatement, it poured with rain every single day, bar two (it was atypically wet, even for the Western Highlands) Coming back to Loch Ness for a day off work was reverse culture shock, like landing in Norway after spending a year in Spitzbergen.
I think your characterisation of the Highlands being lush and barren is very true; you can hike uphill from rainforest to polar desert in under an hour. Very interesting to get your impressions of the Highlands, obviously intelligent but not much preconceptions, there's no secondhand erudition here.
Thanks very much Colin 😊👍
Hey what’s the name of that mountain app? Great job as usual guys! Thank you 😊
Hi, it's called Peakvisor - it's fascinating! Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍
I think Emily summed it up epic
At time we are lost for words! some days every turn just offered up another spectacular view, truly an epic place indeed 😎👍
Just amazing roads and scenery. Well done 😊
Thanks Johan! Scotland is starting to remind us of Scandinavia already. 😊
Just found your channel, easy watch and nicely edited… we did the NC500 a few years ago, Applecross /Ullapool / Durness is out of this world
Recommend the waterside house B&B in Ullapool and a visit to the Cocoa mountain chocolate shop in Durness if you go up that far . Enjoy! PS 4G and a Lidl in Thurso haha
Hi Sean! (Great name btw 😉) welcome to the channel and we are glad to have you with us. Thanks very much -great to get positive feedback like that.
Applecross coming up in the next episode on Wednesday and as you say totally out out of this world!
Thanks for the recommendations, we do love a Lidl or an Aldi!! - cutting costs of all our European tours haha 😉
Thanks for watching and we look forwards to hearing from you again.
Sean and Emily 😎👍
Hi, I am enjoying your videos of your tour of Scotland. I have never been, and it is on my bucket list, especially the NC500. I have Conti road attacks 4 tyres on my Tigger, Tiger sports 660. I am really pleased with them. I am looking forward to the next part of your Scottish tour. Take care
Hi Susan, thanks very much for your comment - it's lovely to hear you are enjoying the videos. Scotland has been on our list for a long time too and it's been amazing to finally ride here. Great choice of tires! We really like them -they offer fantastic levels of grip even in the rain so really pleased with them and glad you like them too.
Thanks for following the Journey and we look forwards to sharing the rest of the tour 😊👍
I am a new subscriber and I am really enjoying watching your channel. Thank you 🙏 I am a motorbike rider too have a Honda 😊
Hi Danny, Welcome to the Channel! It's great to hear from you and we are really happy that you are enjoying the videos!
Maybe see you on the road sometime 😎👍

Hi, may I ask you what is a name of the app you used to show you heights and names of mountains?
Hi, yes no problem the app is called Peakvisor 😎👍
Great video thanks for sharing 🙏
Thanks for watching
Ben Nevis as you probably know is the highest mountain in the UK and the mountains over 3000ft are known as Munros (I’m sure Sean has researched all this info.
The view point is known as the Commando memorial as I’m sure you saw the Memorial and memorial Garden there.
That area was used in the training of the Commandos in WW11 hence the memorial.
Again guys a fantastic episode with amazing drone footage. The A87 is my favourite road closely followed by the A93 (Braemar)
Be thankful that there was no petrol at your first stop as you would’ve lost an arm and a leg to pay for it.
Hi Norrie, yeah it's an impressive mountain indeed -always wanted to climb it but never got around to it. An ideal landscape to train commandos.
Yeah i you are probably right! Fortunately there was another one around the corner. Thanks for your comment and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😎👍
Eileen Donan castle is famous the world over and has featured in multiple tv series such as Highlander - how could you not visit it - McCloud will turn in his grave. A lot of the lakes resemble sea inlets - they’re so vast. I guess Scotland will never suffer from droughts. Another captivating video - keep it up guys.
Too busy and not not enough time to be going into castles -growing up in Wales we have had our fair share of Castle visits 😉 Indeed the Lochs are so vast. Spectacular country and we are looking forwards to sharing the rest of the journey 😊
Lots of those lochs are sea inlets, and don't call them lakes! lol
😂
Great camera work.
Hope you both enjoyed your trip to scotland.
Haste ye back.
Thanks very much Charles, so many beautiful sights in Scotland to document we had to keep the cameras rolling all day 😉. We had an amazing time in Scotland and as you will see in the next episodes it just kept getting better and better!
Thanks for watching 😎👍
If you are still up there, can I recommend Hillview Park b&b in Muir of Ord, only 70 quid a night per person. Great for basing yourself for epic drives like Torridon and Dundonnell. South Skye is only a few hrs away.
Thanks for the recommendation! Hillview Park B&B sounds perfect for exploring the area.
Great videos. I’m lucky enough to live in Scotland with the trossachs only 30 minutes away.
Thanks very much! Great to hear you are enjoying them and we hope we do Scotland proud and showcase it 😊 You are indeed very lucky to live in this part of the world, it's absolutely breathtaking and the peace and quiet is amazing.
Thanks for your comment and we hope you enjoy the rest of teh series as we head further north.
Not sure prices in Switzerland, but I'm ashamed of some of the Scottish accommodation prices - I think they are gouging tourists. The Conti RA4 are single compound tyres, but heat treated to give a harder wearing centre. Keep up the good work!
Based on this trip to Scotland we would say prices are similar ( Switzerland is know for being very expensive for everything) only Swiss hotels almost always include a breakfast. But I guess if there's enough people coming then they need to make up for the quieter months, still it was a lot more that we expected.
Ahh interesting! we presumed they were dual compound but yeah you are right -they have been great so far so really happy with them.
Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of the tour 😎👍
Absolutely epic ride! Thankfully Shadow has a huge range, nothing worse than a small tank on a touring bike! Can I ask Shaun what is the make and model of helmet you use and do you find it especially noisy? This episode flew by, looking forward to the next one! Cheers.
Thanks! We had an awesome day exploring Scotland. Yeah so thankful of the big tank, takes away a lot of thought about tanking up. We are using a Touratech Helmet that's manufactured by NEXX. They are really good helmets and although no helmet is noise free we do find these are well insulated so are not too loud. Here's a link to the exact model:
www.touratech.com/aventuro-pro-carbon.html
Haha, always makes me chuckle when you get range anxiety at 120 mile. I think my range is only 120-140 from full with no fuel gauge and only a little light comes on to let you know you should start panicking 😂 I think that section of road from Invergarry up to the castle is one of my favourite rides. Awesome scenery though the riding does tend to get "spirited"...
Haha i make myself laugh about that too! I keep telling myself I've had bikes that have had less range full than when i feel the need to fill up lol -i think it's because the fuel strip on my R1200 once stuck and it went from 120 km range to 0 in about 10 seconds on a motorway.
Yeah that road is great and i can see how it can make for a 'spirited' ride 😆😎👍
I need to go back to apple Cross but everytime I get a day or two it's raining cats and dogs up there. Glad it seemed mostly dry for you.
Fortunately we had great weather for the road to Apple Cross (episode will be out on Wednesday), We were very fortunate with the weather during this entire trip - as soon as we arrived in Folkstone the sun came out and appeared to follow us around Ireland 😎👍
Just be careful the further North you come there are less and less fences to keep the animals in . I've met sheep, highland coos and even a couple of buzzards just standing on the road
Thanks for the heads up! Will be taking it easy for sure as one never knows what is around the next corner 😎👍
Great vid 👍
Thanks 👍
wonderful😄
Thank you! Cheers!
Another fabulous video, Sean & Ems 👏👏👀⛰️⛰️ i just love how relaxed Emily is as you are touring around the roads. Never ever ridden 2 up, but is it hard ? i suppose the gsa is a good bike for that. 😊
Hi Stevie, thanks very much 😎👍 Yeah it's important to gain your pillions trust so they can relax and enjoy the ride too. With the right bike it's not hard, Super Sports bikes tend to be tricky as they are really only designed for 1 person but touring and adventure bikes make it very easy for both rider and pillion. Having a pillion that knows what to do is half the battle too, nothing worse than an inexperienced pillion suddenly moving around mid corner. As we have ridden two up so much the bike feels strange when i don't have Emily on the back. 😊
@@SeanandEmily Thanks Sean for this 😁 enjoy
You’re welcome 😎👍🏻
Can't believe you've not heard of Eilean Donan castle! It's possibly the most famous in Scotland and thanks to them filming Braveheart there, one of the most famous in the world.
I'm guessing that the petrol station with no fuel was Shieldaig, in which case I'm very sorry to say you've missed one of the most amazing viewpoints in Scotland ☹️
Parts of Braveheart were filmed in Ireland too. Great film.
Yeah of course we have heard of this castle (we pinned it to the route) but had never actually seen it or knew much about it.
The petrol station that was empty was the Cluanie Inn Fuel Pump.
Shieldaig is North of Eilean castle and will be coming soon just after the Apple cross pass episode (we are heading North) and as you say wow was it spectacular!
Ah, my mistake. Sorry. Don't know that petrol station! The view I was referring to isn't Applecross, although yes, it is spectacular. Immediately after Shieldaig, there's a turning to the left for the old ferry to Skye. This road takes you over the tops and along here is a viewpoint of the Five Sisters of Kintail, which is one of the most awesome sights I've ever seen.
If you did sadly miss it, recommend it for next time!
Hopefully we saw it 😊 - the days are a blur of spectacular sights. We did ride through Shieldaig and it was a place we would love to live! As you say there's always a next time if we did miss it 😊
@@randyfrog1969 Thanks. The five sisters of Kintail, that's one for the next trip, we loved Shieldag also, such a spectacular place. Applecross wasn't as difficult as I'd heard about, dodging the caper vans was the worst bit😄
You are right about the cost of travel in Norway. This is mainly due to our struggling currency compared to the euro or pound sterling. Hence there are a lot of tourists here this year. Anyway, I love your videos. Cheers 😊
Hi, we traveled to Norway late in the season last year and were pleasantly surprised by the cost and availability of the wooden cabins. Norway was spectacular and also one of our favorite trips! (as you may have seen in the Heading North Playlist 😊). Thanks for watching and we hope to hear form you again soon 😎👍
@@SeanandEmilyThank You for Your kind reply. I met a Swiss cyclist here this summer and she said that Switzerland was more expensive than Norway. Cheers and safe travels 😊

Thanks for another great vid 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻
Hi John, thanks very much! Great to hear you liked it 😎👍
Only just found your channel so got a lot to catch up on, but enjoyed the three videos so far in Scotland. Looking forward to the next crop 👍👍 also don’t pay any attention to the crop of people moaning about the way you pronounce things the majority of us won’t be that bothered.
Hey mate, welcome to the channel! We hope you enjoy the videos (there’s a fair few on here now) Scotland has been amazing and we got some incredible footage do really enjoying making this series.
Thanks for your words of encouragement, it’s like some people just watch to find the smallest thing to have a moan about lol 🤣. Not to worry nothing will stop us doing what we enjoy. Thanks for watching and we are looking forwards to hearing from you again 😎🙌🏻
Just use a local B&B for accomadation, they are much cheaper :)
They were actually coming out more expensive and most of them were fully booked
I thought I recognised that castle from the film Entrapment. It seems Eilean Donan Castle was also used for many other films including The World Is Not Enough and Highlander
Yeah it's a famous castle indeed used in many films and one can see why as it's set in a beautiful location. 😎👍
How did you two end up living in Switzerland - curious :) ?
Originally for Work and Ended up staying 😊
Just seen a couple on a bike in Tain na it can’t be 🤔
Must have been our doubles 😎👍
Please use local businesses, nothing against Wetherspoons but locals cannot compete against their " economies of scale" advantages. There is a saying in Glasgow which goes something like this..." I remember when Greggs was the worst bakery in the High St... now it's the only one"
Yeah we do use local businesses when we can, but unfortunately our budget for this tour is not unlimited. Happy to say the restaurants and bars looked like they were doing a good business from tourism and there was a lot of locals using Weatherspoons too. 👍
Go to Norway, it blows Scotland out of the water and isnt infested with camper vans and shit all over the side of every parking spot.
We did last year, we thoroughly enjoy Scotland and for we saw more camper vans in Norway although Norway is huge so can take them.
Norway was one of our favourites trips ever!

@@SeanandEmily cheers, I'll take a look.
Bird poo on throttle, so that’s what Oxford Clean Grips are for 🤣🍻
Haha they must be! Never happened before until i put the foam grips on lol
i got married in Fort William
Perfect location for a wedding! 😎👍
It’s the Scottish chip on the shoulder ,overpriced because they can some of the B&Bs and hotels feel entitled to it
You will find most are owned by the English.
I guess there was no shortage of people visiting 👍
No, it’s just demand, too many visitors and too little accommodation…the whole of the west coast and Highlands are the same. In my opinion the trip is worth the cost.
Stunning route, loved every mile though accommodation is scarce and pricey but still a great trip.
@IanTed worth every penny Ian!
FGS guys. It is not the applecross pass it is the BEALACH NA BA from applecross. Really grinds my gears when it is said wrong. Sorry for the rant.
Well we hope you feel better after getting that off your chest, you probably shouldn't watch the next episode as you might let yourself get triggered again 🤣
99.9% of the population speak English ,some might say the same about enforced Gaelic grinds your gears
@@geo752 what’s that got to do with anything then. The Gaelic name is BEALACH NA BA. PASS OF THE CATTLE. nothing to do with applecross that’s the name of a town. 🤡
@@alexshaw2055the road is signposted road to Applecross, calling it the Bealach na ba the Applecross pass, the road to Applecross or even the pass of the cattle makes no difference everybody knows what is meant, not worth ranting over tbh
I’m Scottish and live in Scotland and have done the NC500 many times but can you please refer to actual Scottish terms. It’s a Glen Not a valley. Lochs not lakes and please stop saying British as the majority of us are Scottish not British. Your videos are good though
Coming from Wales we would not expect you to always use Welsh terms when visiting Wales however we do of course respect that you are Scottish (Sean's Dad is Scottish too), the same as if you were to visit our current home Switzerland you would not be expected to use German terms. This being our second day in Scotland you can't expect us to change the way we think and speak instantly and we keep this channel as natural as we can (no pre rehearsed conversations). That being said of course we want to use the Scottish terms, there's so many spectacular sights in Scotland and we are looking forwards to sharing the rest of the trip. We hope you can understand that we will at times revert back to terms that we have been using all of our lives especially when we are taken back by the landscapes and just want to express ourselves naturally.
We hope you enjoy the rest of the series as we do our best to showcase Scotland's Lochs and Glens 😉
Are you glad you got that off your chest ?😂
@@SeanandEmilyif you two keep this up the clan chiefs will be gathering to hunt you down 😂😂😂 please continue to enjoy Scotland and speak about it your own way 👍
