Hey! Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE! This is one of my favourite videos I've created recently so it would be brilliant if you could follow me on my next adventure! I'm looking forward to reading all your comments below 👇 Also, you can check out my blog post packed full of the best things to do in South West Scotland here - www.anadventurousworld.com/south-west-scotland/
The South of Scotland is often overlooked as all the tourists head for the highlands. If you want to avoid the crowds, it's definitely the destination to head for.
The scenery makes a pleasant road trip, and Scotland is rich with spectacular landscapes to savor. Watching your video proves that Scotland is picturesque and full of beautiful attractions to explore, like the Caerlaverock Castle.
Just came across your channel by chance and just clicked because I'm on the southish West coast (North Ayrshire) and love going a run to Portpatrick but after seeing this I need to visit some of the other area's. Subbed to the channel as this video was fantastically done ✅ well done
You are always so sweet and supportive Charlie! It's not quite the 45-minute epic videos you make but I'm getting there! I hope you enjoy this one though!
@@AnAdventurousWorld ha ha if we all made 45 mins epics - no one would have any time to do anything else!! lol really liked it - you are such a good presenter - top video Macca
Gin, curling, ziplines, hikes..... I have never been to Scotland which is crazy - this video has just bumped it much higher up my list - awesome work ;-)
Ha ha ha. Thank you lovely! There really is so much to see and do there, and South West Scotland is a lot closer than you think! I'd definitely recommend it for a UK trip!
Thanks for your comment Nick, I really appreciate it! Sailing is a lot easier than it looks! I really recommend it. If not, it's always nice to have a day on the water in a bigger boat, one that involves cocktails and sunbathing!
Yeah, Scotland is such an underrated destination for us southerns! Every time I visit I'm so shocked at how beautiful it is - it's definitely my kinda place!
Thanks Vicky, I really appreciate it! Scotland is da bomb and I had so much fun on that road trip. Will definitely go back to that region of Scotland again!
Wow scotland looks like iceland to me. I gots to go there!! And I love gin! Hahaha i got to try that one too! I wish I could afford it while Im still young. (I can skip the curling part I just wanted to hike hehehe)
The people living on this route have my heartfelt sympathy. Get ready for litter, bad manners and clogged roads that used to be a pleasure to drive on and ugly campervans in every available layby ruining beautiful views. We moved to Northern Highland 10 years ago and have watched as the tourism on the nc500 with all its problems have taken a hold in what used to be a wonderful open wilderness. The creators of these routes should be ashamed of themselves. Just my 2 penneth, so there. Good luck locals, you wont realise what you had until its gone for ever. 😥
I'm really sorry to hear you say this. Obviously there's a trade off between tourism and what that brings to the local economy, and maintaining the environment and a sense of authenticity. I know the Highlands are overcrowded, but hopefully new routes like the SWC300 will ease overtourism in certain parts of Scotland.
We are travelling around the SWcoast at the moment in a motorhome and I am so ashamed that as usual the few spoil it for the many. We wouldn’t dream of leaving a mark on any of the beautiful places we are visiting & get really annoyed at those who do. Please don’t think that all travelers are the same, we really appreciate the gorgeous views and folks we have met are so hospitable. We are boaters and have noticed the canals are becoming the same with ignorant people. Such a shame for all 💕🦆
Hi Pam, thanks for your reply. Its a tricky deal isn’t it. Caithness and Sutherland used to be a remote and beautiful land populated by locals. The roads were empty and the views and atmosphere truly unique in the UK. Now all the tourism has come, every view has been populated by huge and ugly white vans, although I am sure the people in them are very nice and have every right to be there. Everywhere is getting BUSY! The locals are being discouraged or even barred from their local bars as they are being turned into restaurants and they are accused of lowering the tone for the tourists. Strings of slow moving traffic clog the once easily ridden or driven highways. People dont know how to drive on singletrack and refuse to pull over. I could go on and on, but ultimately no one will really care! We moved to northern Sutherland 10 years ago and we’re now so sick of hearing the name NC500 that we are moving back to Yorkshire and truly looking forward to it. Lets face it, NC500 isn’t a very pretty name to hear all the time, is it?! But each to their own and this is only one mans opinion, nothing more. I hope you enjoy the trips and I wish you well. 🙂
I’m sorry to hear you feel the need to move but hope you find a lovely peaceful place. We promise not to disturb when heading back down south from Scotland. All the best 🦆💕

@@PocketTrailblazer That's so true! I'm glad you like it though Charlie and I love presenting - just wish I did more of it!

This video only scratches what the southwest has to offer from the border to up Ayrshire and south Lanarkshire. Well worthwhile.
Great little video. Thanks so much. I'm going there next week, so lots of great ideas of things to do and see.
Oh amazing! I hope you have a brilliant time there - it really is such a beautiful part of the UK.
I have never been to the grey mare's tail before. It looks stunning.
This looks like a lovely part of Scotland! I've seen so little of the country - must head up soon!
It was such a great trip and I think you'd love it up there! Next time I'm bringing you with me!
Glad you enjoyed your visit to our beautiful region
I loved it! I will definitely be back again in the future that's for sure!
Beautiful scenery , great video - job well done👍❗
Thank you so much! It's such a beautiful part of the world!
When you go to Scotland the land will speak to you.
That's so true! I can't wait to go back and explore some more of this beautiful country!
Interesting viewing as a resident of Galloway. It's the Mull of Galloway though, not the Mull of Galway!!
Thank you! I do kinda say Galloway/Galway. I really meant to say Galloway, it just came out a little wrong. Very hard when you're filming sometimes!
Great video, a well underlooked part of Scotland. Sailing looks interesting, scares the life out of me though...
Thanks for your comment Nick, I really appreciate it! Sailing is a lot easier than it looks! I really recommend it. If not, it's always nice to have a day on the water in a bigger boat, one that involves cocktails and sunbathing!
I'm dying to see more of Scotland 😍your trip looks so fun! And that gin looks amazing. Definitely one for the wish list!
Yeah, Scotland is such an underrated destination for us southerns! Every time I visit I'm so shocked at how beautiful it is - it's definitely my kinda place!
Great video, good effort!! We go on a 5 day road trip in a hired Camper Van from near Carlisle on the 22/10/21, gave us some fantastic ideas! :-)
Ah that's amazing! Have an amazing time - it really is a beautiful part of Scotland!
Ah Macca this is such a good video. This road trip looks amazing. I love Scotland!
Thanks Vicky, I really appreciate it! Scotland is da bomb and I had so much fun on that road trip. Will definitely go back to that region of Scotland again!
Someone stop this guy from spilling the beans about our area! Shhhhhhh🤫 We're a secret☺️
Ha ha ha, so sorry about that!
Wow scotland looks like iceland to me. I gots to go there!! And I love gin! Hahaha i got to try that one too! I wish I could afford it while Im still young. (I can skip the curling part I just wanted to hike hehehe)
I can see that too! It's a really beautiful part of the world that's for sure! Hopefully you'll get to see it one day!
Thanks for sharing. Great video. Can you tell me where the zip wire is located? I cant wait to try it!
Yes of course! It's Laggan Outdoors - www.lagganlife.co.uk/laggan-outdoor/
There's no lakes in Scotland
There really are.
@@AnAdventurousWorld there are lochs in Scotland
@@toitín there are also lakes
Is there a big base with satellite dishes in golf balls?
👍
