My husband and I are planning our 40th wedding anniversary trip and we have always said we are coming back to Scotland to spend a month and REALLY have time to explore. We are both of Scots/Irish descent and are going to do the NC500 and explore the cities and little towns by motor car. We LOVE your channel and really enjoy watching you and Teka take us to places we also long to see. Your vlogs are beautiful. My Ronnie loves it when you take us on a whiskey journey and show us all the lovely food shops! Edinburgh and Leith are definitely our first stop on our journey and we will work our way up into the Highlands and along the coast and back to Edinburgh. Your photography/videography skills and your knowledge of the places you explore and their history is impressive. Thanks for another lovely vlog Shaun and Teka!!! BTW I live in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia, where many many Scots/Irish settled because the mountains here reminded them of home in the Highlands. I ache to come back to Scotland with everything in me!!
@John Smith Globe Lie lovely videos, I subscribed and will enjoy them all. Watching the one you posted above again as I am working on my art. It is a lovely accompaniment!!!
@@cullensistah I did notice that, LOL. But the music is very pretty and goes well with the content. I literally live with a short driving distance to where that was filmed.
@@SerendipitySoulFluidArt I've always wanted to go to Chimney Rock for that exact reason. I made it to Asheville recently but got ill and missed my entire trip. We were supposed to go to Cherokee. I've been through the Charlotte airport quite a bunch lately. 😕 I would like to go to the Grandfather gathering as well. When I start living full-time in my camper van I will be able to do it all! 😄
Good morning from Juneau Alaska (AK) Great Vlog. We live in a temperate rain forest with weather similar to that in Scotland. I loved your use of the term ‘damp’ as we often use that and many other words to describe the weather while avoiding the word ‘rain’😉 The furthest town in AK, Utqiagvik, that used to be known as Barrow, also has a whale bone arch from a bowhead whale. I only got to visit once and it was in the coldest darkest part of winter but I made sure to get a photo at the whale arch.
ALWAYS POP THE EGG. Your vlogs have become lessons for us on Edinburgh and the surrounding areas and we're always taking notes of all of the things to see and eat and try. Thanks Shaun! 😊 great vlog!
I lived in North Berwick for 9 years...climed the Law many times! East Lothian is a lovely county, it holds a special place in my heart! ❤ Thanks for sharing, Shaun 👍😊
Great video as always! My wife and I frequented North Berwick and some of the surrounding beaches while I was a student living in Haddington. The view from top of the Berwick law is quite stunning on a clear day. The buns look delicious, and while we miss Scotland for many reasons, a big one is all the vegetarian food options.
Leith!! love it! My go-to-stay place, lots of shops, the old/new harbors, cafées and restaurants..perfectly close to downtown Edinburgh, but not in the center 💙💙 Outside exercise in East Lothian, w. Bass Rock there, in the background, such a good day! Hello Teka 👋 Hi from Denmark 🌸🌱
@@johnnabuzby6103👋 I am in Morganton aka: Mo-Town. I am hanging out at Lake James today. 🏖🌞 Touring New Bern is on my bucket list. I love history and really want to see the Governor's Palace. I was actually hoping to make it out your way this summer, but plans have changed. I'll be heading to ETN to relax in the Great Smoky Mountains instead.
@@karensmith1277 If you're going to be in the Gatlinburg area, do me a favor and go to the Doughnut Friar and the Pancake Pantry and enjoy them for me. I'm not in a position to travel at the time, but one of these days...here I come! I've been to Tryon Palace many times over the years. My grandmother used to be a tour guide there in period costume. I have a picture of her and several other ladies in their costumes posing with First Lady Patricia Nixon in the 1970s [probably 1976 though don't quote me on that].
@@johnnabuzby6103 Oh wow! That is so awesome that your Grandmother did that and I am so glad you have some cool pictures to look back on. I will be in that area, and for a foothills girl, you would think I would get tired of the mountains, but I never do. I will definitely check out your recommendations. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the information. ❤
@@karensmith1277 I've never actually been to either of those places, but a dear friend of mine is from that area and when he goes back to visit you can bet he's gonna go to the Pancake Pantry for breakfast. He highly recommends it and the Doughnut Friar. As a matter of fact, I have been on the phone with him today and told him of our conversation and my recommending that you go to both those locations. He was pleased. I can't wait until I can get there myself. Until then, I'm going to be celebrating my 54th birthday next month with a trip on the ferry to Ocracoke Island with my eldest son, Jonathan. I'm lookin' forward to some great seafood and fun in the sun! I hope you have a great trip to Tennessee and you're soon able to come to New Bern to see the sights. You ought to check out Christ Episcopal Church downtown, that's [I think] the oldest church in New Bern. The birthplace of Pepsi-Cola is right across the street from the church. We also have a confluence of two large rivers here, the Neuse [pronounced noose] and the Trent. Lots of water sports and boating, plus we're located about 45 minutes away from the Atlantic coast and beaches. Btw...my youngest son Andrew has plans to build a house in the mountains near Asheville someday...he says it'll be a family "compound" where we can all live if we'd like to. 😃🙂🤗✌
Lapidary is the shaping & polishing of stones. Usually ornamental in the use. Normally for non semi-precious stones. Even common river rocks can be given a highly shiny surface. Kids love them & some make nice necklaces or ornaments on keychains, etc.
7 minutes 59 seconds into video view of Bass Rock which has the words largest colony of northern Gannnets 150000 birds. Gannets have a1.7m- 2m (5.6ft -6.2ft) wingspan and weigh about 2.5kg -3 kg (5.5Ibs -6.6Ibs)
Omg that is more than a bun, it's a full on sandwich! I am soooo hungry now, haha thank you for showing this to us and supporting local business 😍 Edit: the view from the lookout point is AMAZING, as is the jawbone and the geology of the area. i LOVE HISTORY! Thanks so much. I'd give anything to be living where y'all are 💜
Stunning views from Berwick Law Shaun. We were on the way to 'Drift' today on the way home to Sunderland from Edinburgh when we stumbled across a cracking cafe called Tyninghame Smithy (Tyninghame Country Store on Google Maps) and it was fab. Loads of home cooked goodies with some lovely vegan options too. About 10 minutes from "Drift'. A beautiful little village too. Recommended. 👍
I can’t wait until we don’t have to quarantine anymore so that I can FINALLY visit Scotland! Your videos are great and super informative. Keep up the great work! 🏴
How absolutely beautiful!! Having only ever driven or rode in America...when you video in car I catch myself jumping when you meet folks in a curve...LOL! I want to yell..."Wrong Side"...LOL!!!
Hello. I've been catching up on older videos on phrases people use in America, and I thought you might want to do a vlog on different terms in America used by Northerners, Southerners, and even state to state. For example: when I was in Wisconsin, I asked a friend where to find a drinking fountain, and she laughed and said they're called "bubblers"...
We climbed to the top of the Berwick Law in June 2003 when the whale jawbone was still real. It is an awesome view from there! The gorse is a lovely yellow too, as well as the fields of rapeseed. If I remember correctly, we met a cow or two as we were coming down.
It’s 3:10 am here. I can’t sleep so I’m watching you crazy Scottish eat and this has made me very hungry. Wish I was anywhere but in this bed unable to sleep. Thanks for the vlog. It was good.
1. I could have used the "Always break the egg first" advice my first time eating a breakfast sandwich many moons ago. Learned that lesson quickly! 🤣 2. Where is the "real" jaw bone? 3. Teka, you are gorgeous! Don't be shy about being on camera. (Shaun will hog it all anyway! 😄😄😄)
A very floral hills, lovely! Hoping the weather holds out for you. Enjoy your hike. Very scenic, nice. Really neat ruins.❤️ Did you ever get the pics of the red squirrel I sent. If not where do I send them?
Love your videos Shaun. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Is it my imagination or is there a problem with stabilization on this video? I was experiencing a bit of motion sickness watching this one.
It's true that the offense always has the advantage over the defense since the enemy could always find some way to invade and elude any defensive position. I'm reminded where Inspector Clouseau tries to break into the castle in The Pink Panther Strikes Again. Probably not the same in real life though. Oh well.
Hey Shaun, I'm looking forward to your return to America. Do you have any preliminary plans put together? What are your top five want to experience locations? Hopefully by the fall of the year travel will be open once again. Come to New England!!
Sean I’m planning a visit to Scotland maybe in the next several months. This summer must be a lovely time to visit but I may want to go in the early autumn. What are your thoughts about this I’d like to go to Edinburgh the Highlands and Glasgow maybe Inverness. What time of the year is good to go to void all the rain.? Thanks for your help!
Hope you enjoy your trip but unfortunately not a question that’s easily answered, scotland is famous for having lots of rain year round. Less chance mid summer (June/July) but the reality is the weather can be wet year round - can get worse once autumn sets in in October
Another bit of trivia. In the early 1900s, Lucas of Musselburgh used to wheel an ice cream cart to the top of the Law daily during the summer months. And another. The island facing North Berwick harbour is Craigleith. However, the next island to the west of that, The Lamb, is owned by Uri Gellar. He bought it, believing a legend that Scota, the alleged Pharaonic matriarch of the Scots people, buried a treasure on that island. I know you drive everywhere but just a shame you never took the train to North Berwick. The train journey down the main line then up the branch from Drem has a distinctive charm about it. I'm planning to visit Aberlady soon. Somewhere else that may interest you. There's Aberlady Bay nature reserve, across the bridge where the prolific Scots historical author, Nigel Tranter, often stood in contemplation, a plaque remembering Nigel Tranter, and the rusting remains of two mini submarines visible at low tide.
There used to be a jawbone at The Meadows in Edinburgh as well. If I'm not mistaken, it was taken down in 2017, supposedly "for repairs" as time and weather had compromised the bone. It was not there when we visited in 2018 and as far as I know it has never been returned to its rightful place. Do you (a) know anything about whether there are still plans to bring it back once it's repaired and (b) if there's some connection between that jaw and the one which once stood here on the Law?
And why did they have a whale jaw there? What was it for, to symbolize? A gift? Was there whaling going on there in the bay? Just incredible! And the view from up there is spectacular! Just beautiful!
Ok, I think I SHOULD know what a "bun" is in the UK, but I really have no idea. I can only confess to living in the USA, if that's an excuse. Great video Shaun, thanks!

@@duncancallum that’s a lovely story. My parents used to go there regularly and I have the jewellery they had made out if their finds along with some raw stones 🇦🇺
Whats up Shaun. This is Ian from North Carolina. U gotta come back here soon. Its the best state. U gotta check out more of the mountains. U can scoop me up and ill go with u. All my family is from there. We can stay for free.
Oh, how my wife and I wanted to once again enjoy the beauty of Scotland and it's people. But the Covid gods denied us, so we have to wait. Thank you Shaun. We'll keep enjoying what we can through you and your videos.
I think the real whale bones probably deteriorate over time. And a whale has to be dead to get one. Drawbacks. But I still would have liked to see a real one. The food looked fabulous, as did the view. 👍🏻 Thank you! P.S. Tesla's sunglasses are rad.
Games of thrones Rose Leslie cousin has been missing for 8 days. I was wondering if you can help put the word out because you have a good following. You can look it up his name is Philip Fraser

Hi Glasgow is cheaper than Edinburgh and the people are more friendly, buses for travel is a cost saver. There is many hostels that are very reasonably priced or hotels that are outside the city’s are a good option. Good luck on your travels.

I'm new to your channel, I'm visiting Scotland next July from North Carolina USA. I'm a Scottish descendant from the Buchanan Clans. Very excited to visit, a year is a long wait. Any suggestions of where broke American gal can afford to stay? Also where is a good scene to meet people?
