Just for the record, John o' Groats is the most northerly _town_ but is not the mostly northerly point of the British mainland. It's very close, but not quite - Dunnet Head, which _is_ the most northerly point, is about 11 miles northwest of John o' Groats. The northernmost point in the UK is Out Stack, Shetland, roughly 150 miles further north. When you were in John o' Groats you were north of Juneau, Alaska!
Inky beat me by a year. Lol. Was going to say something alike.
Rewatching this series. I find it hard to travel so I just live through you guys instead lol
Those islands off the north coast are the Orkney Islands, with some of the most amazing prehistoric settlement remains in Europe.
Welcome to Scotland. Hope to see you back and we can do some collabs 🏴🎥🌎
The sad thing is you miss so much by sticking to a road. Shanks's pony (two feet) is the way to see the Highlands. You comment on the land's emptiness of people, but there's missing history there. The Clearances. Most of the population was EVICTED in the 18th and especially the 19 century, with great cruelty, to make way for sheep, which were more profitable or the fuedal landowners. It was the same in the Hebrides. It's where a big chunk of the population of Canada came from. Gaelic is still spoken in Cape Breton. A big chunk of the population of Glasgow, too, where the industrial revolution's misery and exploitation was suffered by dispossessed and evicted Highlanders and refugees from the famine in Ireland.
Historically, as you passed from Caithness, from the flat Tundra of the Flow Country, the Causey Mire (Europe's biggest expanse of blanket bog), to the mountains of the North-west, you passed from Norse Scotland to Gaelic Scotland. Just look at the placenames! Many of those in Caithness could well be in Yorkshire! The islands you couldn't afford to sail to (the Orkneys with the Shetlands much further North) were once parts of Norway. As you come to the Gaelic placenames, however, you'd need a quick course in aspirated spelling to pronounce them (though some got Anglicised in the 19th century). Only 16 letters in the alphabet, so many sounds are represented by combinations of letters which look very odd if you don't know them.
Interesting!
@Martin James - This was a lovely and informative post, but FYI if you call them 'The Orkney's' they will lynch you in the street lol! They're referred to as The Orkney Islands, or simply Orkney. Don't make that mistake or we may never hear from you again! :)
I'm English but my good lady's Scottish . I'm reliably informed that those cattle are referred to as heery coos .
haha
For us English the Scots are a mysterious people . Keep up the good work , may the force be with you .
andy they are called highland coos
no
Jerry Gregor you called it right!
"Where are people getting their drink"? Bet your life there are old guys distilling their own up there .....
And that big rock is probably an "erratic" dropped there by the retreating ice sheet 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age.
OK, since I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago, I've been pretty much binging on Eric and Kyde vids. I'm currently following you guys around Taipei on your trusty steed "Juicebox" 😂
I genuinely can't believe how long you guys have been committed to the travelling lifestyle... it's just absolutely incredible.
At this rate, I'll probably catch up to your modern day adventures in about a month... 😂
Haha, glad you found us and are enjoying! If you catch up in a month I'll be impressed! -E
Kyde and Eric... yeah, I was being pretty optimistic there.. Maybe 2 months? Hahaha.
Safe travels you two ✌
This reminds me of one of my favorite movies of all time is "Local Hero" with Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert about a Texas oil company wanting to buy the town of Airsaig to put in an oil refinery. Lots of very subtle humor. I watch it about every year and it is so sweet and nuanced. Directed by Bill Forsyth, who did "Gregory's Girl" which featured Keira Knightly in her first role.
I think you’re very brave tackling Scotland in February.
If you are impressed wait until you see next week's video. Hahaa -E
I'm a new comer here. Late February 2018 and March the 1st was when 'The so called 'Beast from the East hit'. So tempretures dropped below normal in England (-9°C). But it was far milder in Scotland.
I think they were brave tackling Scotland.
I'm from the UK, and your vlogs on Britain have been an eye opener even for me. Many of us don't realise how spectacular this island is.
I'm a tad disappointed that you didn't go to The Orkney Islands. The archeology there is pristine, henges, barrows, settlements etc Clearly it was a major hub in the neolithic and Bronze Age. Maybe next time!
The logistics of getting there just didn't work out. -E
And the Standing Stone circles like Brodgar and Stenness predate Stonehenge.
@gilburton Due to work restrictions we rarely can travel during the summer. -E
*Scotland has over 790 offshore islands,* most of which are to be found in four main groups: Shetland, Orkney, and the Hebrides, sub-divided into the Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides.
"Can you hear the grass?" "...an impressive beet moment." I love me some great outlandish quotes and you guys supply a plethora of them! Your humor Is on point and your travels are superbly unique! Thank you for the great content!
John O groats is the farthest point from Lands End, Dunnet Head is the most northerly point on the mainland, really enjoying your reactions to the UK.
Great entertaining video really enjoyed watching it. Those small ponds as you called them are actually called lochans.
That pony has to be midgets in a suit, right? How can nature make that?!
Make sure you are subscribed for more Scotland coming soon! ► goo.gl/mkAwyy

While up there, have a look for the "Falls o' Shin", near Lairg. It's inland from the coast, but worth seeing, as you can see Salmon jumping up a smallish waterfall. And the reason the landscape is so empty - that's what the "highland clearances" did, where landowners burned families out of their crofts, stuck them in boats, and shipped them off to Canada and Australia. Its why these places have a big Scottish contingent.
Sounds awesome, but we arent there anymore! -E

I just made the same comment , i wish more people knew about the clearances .
" _Oh my god. OH MY GOD, it's coming towards us!_ "
Er yeah, that's because *you* called it to you - lol. Relax, that pony was just auditioning for the next L'oréal shampoo commercial.
We were blessed.
Or for Findus pies.
Lucky you!
True fact : John Lennon used to spend his summer holidays in and around smoo cave.
ive recently watched a few of your videos and i like watching them but have you ever noticed the guy on zig-zag cigarette papers ?
hahahaa
If i had a pony id call him Tugboat lol
Great to see you are both enjoying Scotland etc
Enjoy
I think I'm gonna have to add Scotland to my list of Destinations now! The landscapes look incredible
It was stunning up north. -E
///you can camp anywhere you like///
But you _will_ be sharing with a billion midges.
No you cant camp ANYWHERE, there is a code which wild campers should follow to prevent laws being changed for the worse. ===>> www.outdooraccess-scotland.scot/
Midges are a warm weather species, I believe.
Another excellent video! The actual most northern point is Dunnett Head near John o Groats. Shame you missed the Shetland isles as they are full of history and archaeology. Keep up the good work
Seeing pictures never does justice to awesome landscapes. I never appreciated the grand canyon until I saw it first hand. Scotland really does have such incredible beauty, it too really needs to be seen to be appreciated. I am glad you two go that extra mile and drink it all in. Great Videos, a pleasure to watch!
Oh man, did you have enough food packed? Getting stuck in remote areas without any shops around is the worst.
We were ok, but we wanted a sweet treat for fika and couldn't find one, hahahaha. -E
The bigger town you went through I live there and was so excited to see you go through also it’s called Thurso
11:07 Thurso! Aye, that's the only town for miles, a legacy of the deplorable Highland Clearances
Cruitheach
i just made a comment about the clearances . i wish it was talked about .
@rodden1953 Indeed
rodden1953 ///i wish it was talked about///
Can I ask why? I mean I know what happened and I agree it was deplorable, but it was what 150-200 years ago? A lot of bad stuff happened all over the place back then and there is not much we can do to change that. I think it's important we dont forget, but I also think it's important we dont wallow in the misery of history ...or keep old feuds burning just for the sake of it. There isnt anybody alive today that you can hold responsible.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Just look at what we have lost in just a short time like unions, The Tolpuddle Martyrs put their lives at risk for the right to form a union part of that was unfair rents and low pay. now its all come back , there are to many to list right now but that's a start
Yeah, but context changes. In 1830 I'd have been a unionist for sure, but the unions in the 1970's and 80's almost crushed Britain. I can remember the power cuts and the queues for bread. That's way too much power, the unions were really screwing with peoples lives. Nothing exists in a vacuum, the balance of power changes, context alters meaning and not everything from 200 years ago, is a metaphor for this world. The Highland clearances were bad, but I cant see any danger of a repeat. Haven't land ownership rules changed in Scotland? I thought I read about a whole Island of crofters clubbing together to buy their Island?
Amazing li'l pony intro... :)
Why I think John O'Groats might be familiar to you:
Season 13 of Top Gear had a challenge for Hamster & May to get from one end of Britain (Land's End) to the other (John O'Groats) in a Porsche before Royal Mail delivered a letter...
18:52 Mentioning beets while showing fancy rhubarb... :/
another great video, kinda of forget how beautiful my country is at times
Hope you enjoyed our beautiful land. 🏴👍🏻💙
I’m really upset right but I open up TH-cam and see a new video from y’all and a smile instantly shows up on my face. I love y’all. Your videos really make me feel better I’m so happy you share your life with us :)
I hope you have a good day!
Amelia Abroad hope your day picks up Amelia, love from England
Nice to see you guys at Groats.. But the most northerly point of the UK is actually Dunnet Head... I fish the lochs there.. Great to see you guys enjoying where I live
An awesome, but lonely place. Population Ewe
Suddenly realised - you have to watch Local Hero. Or maybe you have though I think you would have mentioned it. Magical Scotland. You have to watch it.
Shame you couldn't get the ferry to Orkney, it is very expensive to get there but very beautiful too and the people are really friendly. Orkney and Shetland have slightly different cultures to that of the rest of Scotland - most see themselves as Orcadians or Shetlanders more than they do Scottish or British. Fantastic video of Northern Scotland though!
Plus ponies! -E
Try this as a soundtrack to your journey through Highlands of Scotland: -
th-cam.com/video/Y89J2x7mv2Y/w-d-xo.html - "The Road To The Isles"
Marram grass (Ammophila). The reason this part of Scotland (as well as the Highlands in general) is so empty is The Clearances. People were cleared off the land by the local aristocracy to make way (largely) for sheep. The worst offenders were the Duke of Sutherland and Queen Victoria.
In 2018 we officially reached Peak Pony ;). The large flat expanse in the north east around Caithness and Sutherland is called the flow country BTW and it's the biggest blanket mire (peat bog basically) in Europe.
And yep, small country roads can be a bit mad here, a lot of them will be at the national speed limit which is 60 MPH on a single carriageway. My dad used to say that's not so much a speed limit as a dare ;).
When you are at john o groats the island that you see is called Stroma. That’s where my dads family grew up. No one stays there since I think the 1950s.
The beach was Dunnett beach. The ponds are lochs lol
Great video 🍻
Wow, beautiful scenery on a perfect blue sky day.
That pony looks like it should be in a shampoo ad.
I'd buy!
Kyde and Eric Me too!
Sorry to be a geography nazi, but Dunnet Head, a few miles of west of John O'Groats is the most northerly point on mainland Britain.
These places once had thriving, Gaelic speaking communities. What you are seeing here, in the Northern Highlands, is the tragic legacy of the Highland clearances.
I'm from the East coast of the Highlands, which is a little more populated than the West coast where you were, shame you didn't get to see Dunrobin castle.
John O'Groats is the northernmost town on mainland Britain; the northernmost point on mainland Britain is actually Cape Wrath.
Dennet Head is the most northerly point on the mainland Ardnamurchan lighthouse is the most westerly point well worth a visit if you're going down the west coast you'll go through an extinct volcano caldera
Like the north fork of long island in winter, nothing , gas 20 miles back, wind , cold sign says "see you in the spring" my father drank a shot and said , Lets go back, no place to get a drink here.
Shetland ponies are sturdy wee animals. Lots of them were used in the mining industry before mechanisation for pulling the loads of coal from the pit face and lived the majority of their lives down the pit never seeing daylight again. Was a harsh life for them but they were thought ideal because of their size. Now they are used as kids ponies.
I want one. -E
A common saying is from lands end to john o groats its supposed to be the furthest point, in England to the furthest point in Scotland..
Hey guys just wanted to say that I've particularly enjoyed your Scotland videos. I've been living in Canada for the past twenty years or so but was born and raised in Dundee so your videos have been a trip down memory lane for me, so especial thanks for that. I'm really happy to see how much you're enjoying Scotland, the diversity of scenery is quite amazing. I'm hoping you guys managed to make it to the west coast anywhere north of Glasgow. The beaches are incredible and for me it's the most beautiful area of Scotland. Anyhow keep up the good work guys. You two are a lovely couple and it's a pleasure to share in your adventures. Take care, be safe and have fun!
Thanks so much! -E
Aww man I'm living in Dundee now, but from the south west of scotland originally, im hoping for a future video where Kyde and Eric visit my necks of the woods
hi guys, so you found the world's northernmost IN-convenience store, hope you get to eat in the next video!.
Looks like the Arctic in Alaska between Fairbanks and Dead Horse.
Should have added that if you get up the hills on foot, you''d find the ruined homesteads of the evicted population all over the place.
My dad was born on Cape Wrath which you passed after Smoo Cave
Pretty sure your getting Rhubarb and Beetroot confused.
I WANT JACK!!
Yes, so cuddly! Like a Disney version of a pony.
Nowhere like the UK ,most interesting place to visit in the world.
You never mentioned the heatwave ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞......you made the ponies day...... visitors. 😁
This was filmed in March. It wasn't hot then. -E
Fluffy ponies and highland beets
I'm from the lake district (england). Wow!! What a beautiful place. Fantastic video guys, thoroughly enjoyed It.
GLad you enjoyed! -E
You’ve been impressed by variety of the Scottish landscape. I remember watching a documentary about the geology of the British isles and the presented said that most countries could fill a few boxes with samples of their rock collections but Britain would need 2 aircraft hangers to contain all the varieties it has.
I am pretty sure that the North of Scotland is not native to the UK, it smashed into the British Isles landmass the same way as India did to the Asian landmass. Some geologists liken the mountainous area of North Scotland to the Himalayas, but say that due to the weather conditions in the UK they were never going to be as dramatic as Asia. I think that they found out that the rock that crashed into the British Isles is from the American mainland, but I am not sure which state(s).
www.edinburghgeolsoc.org/scotlands-geology/
The mountains of the NW Highlands (NW of the Great Glen) are part of Appalachian Mountains running up the eastern side of the US.
the mountains in Scotland aren't that tall but they are very dangerous. the reason why is that there is nothing between the Arctic and Scotland, those winds can be incredibly cold. it can be fine below but up on the mountains it can be full winter conditions. like the landscape the weather can change instantly.
people misjudge the Scottish mountains ever year and die. 10 people died in first three months of this year alone. always respect them, youd be amazed at the people who go with shorts n tshirt.
heres johnny ..and although they're not so tall now, they are actually far older than the Hymalayas and used to be around 15,000 feet before erosion and various ice-ages wore them down.
You missed out on going over to the Islands (Orkney). Scapa Flow is the sea between the Islands, and used to be the base for the British North Atlantic Fleet (both wars). There is a museum, Italian chapel (Prisoners of War), Vikings, Iron Age ruins. lots of history.
We couldn't afford it with money or time, unfortunately.
You were brave to do the nc 500. The lack of fuel points would worry me, but since I live in Scotland, I should really do it. In summer. Look forward to next video, and guessing Skye?? Eilan Donan castle? Oban? Then leave Scotland?
We hit Skye, yep! -E
"... shhhhh, can you hear the grass?" wonderfully illustrates in just how many ways you were enjoying your travels; a pretty epic comment! Next time you think of coming to UK save up enough pennies so you can go to Orkney and Shetland they are both amazing places and the scenery will blow you away (much like the wind!). Enjoy your videos, wit and stories, keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Yea, going up north would be awesome, we'll save it for a warmer season! -E
Great video guys.That pony was adorable!Did you sleep in the car'
No, we stayed in a hotel that night. Bit nippy for sleeping in the car. -E
Those are not lakes we don’t do lakes in Scotland and the cattle are heilan’ coos ( highland cows )
Go to aviemoore est town in Scotland got to the backers aswell
Have you been to Iona yet? Head to oban, get the ferry to mull, and head west.
Welcome to Scotland. I cannot understand why you do not do some basic research on the georgraphy before you get somewhere. Not knowing about the existence of the Orkney and Shetland islands is surprising. Yes, the car ferry is expensive but you could go by passenger only and then cheap buses, plus smaller ferries to the minor islands of each group.
I have no idea what gave you the impression we didn't know the Orkney and Shetland islands didn't exist as we talked about how we looked into going to them but found it too expensive, to which you then responded to. Anyways, as we had a car for hire we were paying daily to use leaving it behind is still an expensive option. -E
4 year anniversary of me watching y'all is tomorrow.
How do you know that specific date? Hahaa -E
Kyde and Eric lol because I wrote sent it to someone the first time I watched it.
I made a mistake by overlooking the Europe series, that pony was missing from my life. So fluffy! What an absolute unit!
Hahaha, glad you found him! -E
Gorgeous scenery and cuddlywuddly animals. You are very lucky to be able to do what you do. I wish I could do it (apart from eating beetroot).
You just gotta go out and cuddle some animals, it's not hard! -E
You guys should check out some smugglers caves when you're back in the UK there are loads spread all over the country, some with graffiti on the wall dating over hundreds of years and are quite funny to read.
Neat!
Kyde and Eric, just a small bit of information for you, but at the back of your car there is whats called a "Boot", an idea for you, why dont you next time you see a supermarket, fill your boot with lots of food, goodies and boooooooooooze, then when you are far away from anywhere you can still have a nibble and a sluuuuurp, simples :p
First thing you gotta do is find a supermarket up there, hahaa. -E
That pony looks like Donald Trump. Check out its hairstyle, and orange-ness.
Hahahahaa
It's actually really cool to see an outsider's perspective on the peaceful paradise I'm proud to call home!
To see you guys enjoying the beautiful Dunnet beach that I walk along to work was awesome!
Hope you enjoyed!
Haste ye back!
I'd love it if you went to Harris. If you think the north had different landscapes you will shit yourself when you see the white beaches and clear blue water, you'll think you're in the Caribbean.
Sounds nice!
Remote though the northern-most part of Scotland is, it was very busy once. The Orkney Islands are just above John O'Groats. They contain Scapa Flow, which was once the biggest naval base in Britain. At its height during WWI, it contained the Grand Fleet - which constituted over 400 warships, including 69 capital ships (massive battle ships), 200+ destroyers and other fast warships, 72 submarines and 3 aircraft carriers (in WWI!). It was big. In fact, it was grand.
Oh wow, must have been a lot different then. -E
Man, I am feeling the comment love ;)
Your videos are just wonderful. I've enjoyed the "British Isles" ones (I teach a lot of international students so I was searching TH-cam videos about people's *real* view of the UK in 2019 so I could write some decent guidelines, and that's how I stumbled across your special TH-cam document. What a joy. There's a huge number of your earlier movies for me to check out too - your massive "back catalogue". But I will catch up - eventually.
You two really are so lovely. If you ever come back to this British neck of the global woods some time in the future of your odyssey, do stop by Wales if you can. It's friendly, modest - but deep ;)
I don't know if you have already done this, but could you guys do a video explaining how you plan the budget for a trip and what resources you use to find local spots to do cool things like that castle? I'm loving this series!
We don't budget very much, we tend to just live and explore cheaply. Sometimes people in our video comments give us tips on things to do, sometimes we just google around for things, sometimes we just use google maps to see what's in areas. There isn't really a straight answer, to be honest. Glad you are enjoying! -E
Go to Greece.
P.S. I love watching you guys eat. It's strange. I know.
We spent some time in Athens back in May! Videos will come soon, but we only got to check out the city. Gotta go back to properly explore greece someday! -E
Your videos are very addictive and I love your zest for life- can’t wait for the next instalment!!
Working on it right now! -E
Muckle Flugga in Shetland is the true northernmost region of the British Isles, but that’s gonna be some travelling, LOL
By the way, I loved the scenery in your video and loved what seems to be a Shetland pony at the beginning.
Everyone loves ponies.
Hi there Kyde and Eric,
If you ever revisit Scotland in the future and travel further north, there’s a surprising amount of civilization to be found.
Places like Kirkwall on Orkney or the town Lerwick in Shetland and fantastic.
Orkney th-cam.com/video/ekYtsSubUJ4/w-d-xo.html
Shetland
th-cam.com/video/MYu6qNtkxkg/w-d-xo.html
You took the beet route
There is no place like the remote north of Scotland that will affect you the way it only can.
You will think differently the way it mentally and emotionally affect you and chills will go up your soine.
Most of all, you will be met with a spirituality, maybe your own, that will change you.
Welcome.
Glad you loved my home.
Haven't been back in 30 years. Your video was most welcome and a pleasure to see.
Thank you, you two goofy, wonderful souls.
i think dunnet head is most northernly point in uk
John O'Groats is not the most northern point in Scotland. It is advertised as such. The place is called Dunnet Head. Your videos are great, I like that you go to remote areas.
Glad you are enjoying! Dunnet Head needs to step up it's marketing game! -E
Great vid guys keeped me and my mates intetained. We are from Scotland and the pony is called a Shetland pony and the cow is called Hiland cow.
GLad you enjoyed! -E
I love following the the great NOTH road uto head up NOTH :) I know but someone had to mention the speeeling mistake :) I absolutely love watching your video's but I can,t ignore the title :)
Whoops.
:) I have always wanted to take that road around the North of Scotland. One day I will get there, I have to persuade the mrs to let me buy a camper van and a Trike first though :)
WOW Northern Scotland is beautiful!
True! -E
OHOHOHOHOHOH!!!!!! 11.17...you were going through Thurso.....i was brought up there..makin me cry a bit, lol. been in new zealand 32 yrs now
I am Scottish and have been all over Scotland in my years. I have rely enjoyed seeing it from your eyes though, I have rely lol at some of your comments and reactios
Awesome, glad you enjoyed!
That car wizzing past you is called a local 😂 someone who lives locally and drives like its thier race track had same experience in Isle of mull few years back
They get faster and faster just before closing time. Some are so fast you don't see them. With 60 miles to the next pub and fifteen minutes to the final bell they do about 120mph. With 10 minutes to go they are above 150mph. With under 5 minutes the wind moves as they pass and it's the only way to know someone passed. Now you know why there is no one outdoors in the country an hour before closing time and an hour before opening time. It's just not safe.
Lol, This was written as a joke.
Hey Guys, Just found your channel and loving the Scotland videos. We are a new(ish) Scottish youtube channel based on travel basically us exploring our country. If you guys are up for collaborating please let us know we would love to chat about Scotland travel etc. PS Subbed!
Great video! At first I thought you were wearing an Orphan movie t-shirt, Eric. And then I looked closer and realized "Oh, that's Bjork!" haha
I got a couple of albums by fallujah, very good choice eric you got really good taste in music !!
I like jams
Hope you guys went to Isle of Skye and visited the fairy pools. You cannot go to North Scotland and not visit Skye.
Video on the way! -E
Awesome. Can't wait. You're doing a great job.
I was thinking the same thing😊 my family is from there.
Happy Skye I’m from Skye and live there 😀
Just got out of surgery and was so happy to be able to watch more of your adventures. Thanks guys!
Hope you are feeling good soon! -E
"It must be two midgets in a suit". :-D
A couple of more bits of info for you... at 8.00 that grass that makes the Dunes is called Marram Grass AND J O G is not the most Northerly point. That is Dunnet Head :)
Yes like the ones that Trump destroyed for his golf course .
That is a shame. Some places are so special they should never be touched, but I wouldn't single out Trump on this one. Golf courses have been springing up all over the place for years, and often by the seaside. St Andrews for example. That still, though has an amazing beach and coastline. Spent many a day in Fife, in my youth :)
