    As an English ex-delivery driver, whenever my boss said " You're off to Scotland for a couple of days " I was always well pleased, stayed in various hotels, and B+Bs loved it. Stunning scenery and friendly people, even in Glasgow lol.

    Glad you guys loved Scotland, but I can assure you - You have seen nothing yet! Way up north in the Scottish isles will conquer your heart, so many isles too visit and the Lochs and glens will steal your hearts! YES I am a proud Scot who has visited them all, did the west highland way, sailed the Caledonian canal, done the island hoping, Tasted all the single malt whiskeys - yeah I am an old guy who loves his country! The further up north of Scotland you travel is where you want too visit, Harris/Lewis and the isle of Skye are a must, also reading the history of the Scots you will find interesting in what our ancestors had too endure! We had a motorhome till my wife had a stroke, so I sold it! It were a sad day! In Scotland you can drink the water straight from the river or streams, for it is clean! The Scots are friendly and are always ready to help! We have the best Country in the world, but the down side is the weather and the midges! Feel free too ask me anything about Scotland and where one should visit! Haste ye back!

      Scotland is great. It's just such a shame that the climate sucks. There's such a small window of the year where you can comfortably utilise the outdoors, unless you are fine with constant drizzle and wind. If we had a more continental European climate on our Isles, it'd be perfect.

    The Kelpies are down the road from me, not sure if you would have seen the other things here in Falkirk and not shown it in the vid. The worlds only rotating boat lift is a little farther along the canal from the Kelpies the other side of town called The Falkirk Wheel and the route along between them is the Antonine wall, it was the northern border of the Roman empire for 20 years, they never finished building it. William Wallace best friend was laid to rest at the churchyard in the middle of town, he fell in the battle of Falkirk 1298, Wallace monument is a little farther north in Stirling.

    Being from Scotland I always found driving along the A9 to Inverness to be a slog with fairly average scenery, even Loch Ness pales in comparison to some of the other Scottish Lochs. I would usually always drive up and down the A82, it was a longer drive-but infinitely more rewarding for the visual impact.

    Haggis should never stick to the roof of your mouth. That is the inappropriate sauce that has done that to it. A well seasoned haggis with neeps and tatties doesn't really need a sauce, but if you absolutely must add something to it, then rowan or redcurrant jelly is the way to go.

    Tunnocks Caramel Wafer which is like a biscuit snack covered in chocolate.
    Barr's Irn-Bru or Barr's Sugar Free Irn-Bru. You will see them either in a can or a bottle silver for the SF version and orange for the other (colour of can or bottle) in besides the Coca-cola.

    I live up in Inverness! I used to live in Fort William but it's a stinkhole lmao a bit sad that the haggis was so drenched by the sauce since the sauce is where a lot of your complaints came from it seemed lol If you ever explore more I highly suggest the West Highland coastline along Route 500. It's beautiful but I'd recommend late spring to late summer (late spring for the new growth, late summer for the heather)

    The sauce on the haggis is not traditional. Was introduced as whisky sauce on chicken Balmoral which is chicken breast stuffed with Haggis.

    I've always wanted to see the kelpie sculpture. They are shapeshifting demons which appear as a lonely horse and whenever anyone gets too close them. they bite or grab the victim and try to drown them in the nearby river. Sometimes they appear as a handsome man or beautiful woman if the horse ruse doesn't work. I love a bit of folklore :D

    It's a shame you didn't get to Loch Ness via Loch Lomond, Rannoch Moor and Glencoe - that journey, for scenery, is one of the best without going too far north.

      The lady was correct,. Neeps are mashed turnips, that is orange turnips that the English call swedes. What the English call turnips is what we in Scotland call white turnips.

    Ive bookmarked to wztch when home... if you are on your travels I highly suggesy the Scottish Outer Hebridean Islands. Cheap ferry across, then a cossway road bridge you cannisland hop across all the islands. The famous Callanish Stones are here, older than the pyramids and even stonehenge. Errected by the natives who also errected Stonehedge whichnis now mistaken as English as they colinise the south of the island.

    Sadly you missed the best areas for scenery. Next time (there will be a next time), head up to the far north west to Ullapool and the coastal drive north of there. Stunningly beautiful with great beaches, sea stacks and cliffs and more interesting mountains. There's a 500 mile circular route called the North Coast 500 which covers the best areas. There's plenty of YT videos to give you a flavour of what you can see.
    Also, Skye is very much worth visiting despite getting very busy in summer and again plenty of YT videos showing the spectacular secenery.
    Finally, if you want to see how good some of the beaches can be, it's worth checking out Luskentyre Beach images which is on the island of Harris.
