We fell in love with Scotland on this trip and are counting the days until we go back! Have you been to Scotland? Where do you recommend visiting?
Never Scotland but I have been to Ireland and London … highly recommend both!!
Scotland Is on my bucket list ❤️
The highlands !
I love watching people appreciate My Scotland, the country of my birth. I will be returning In August after 42 years and I just can't wait. Crystal, when your health improves you have got to get back to Scotland. Brian, just remember, in Scotland to-days rain is tomorrows Whisky. Beast Wishes to you both.
This was the BEST Scotland travel video I’ve seen. I’m planning a trip for the fall and only have 7-10 days. Thanks for including the lodging recommendations.
Come and visit our beautiful Argyll next time
Its refreshing to see Culloden treated with the diginity and solemnity it deserves in a travel vlog. 💛
Just a reminder that the drink drive limit in Scotland is zero, you can’t have any alcohol and drive your car. The distilleries will give you a drivers travel pack so you can take your tasters with you and enjoy them later.
Great video
Hey thanks for watching!
That’s a great tip. 😀
Sorry but you are incorrect about the drink drive limit it isn’t zero it’s 50 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood compared to Englands 80 milligrammes although i understand where you’re coming from
No true. Why did you make that up?
@@HibeeMcbeeTechnically you are completely correct it is 50 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. As a visitor to Scotland you are unlikely to have a breathalyser and less likely that is set to the Scottish setting which is stricter than the rest of the UK.
Additionally the level of alcohol permitted is so low in Scotland that most responsible drivers just don’t drink and drive.
For visitors it would be easier and safer to assume that you can’t drink and drive.
@@bhobbybhoy6244 Technically you are completely correct it is 50 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
For visitors it would be easier and safer to assume that you can’t drink and drive as the legal levels are so low and visitors won’t necessarily have an easy way to measure them.
There is something romantic about Scottish landscapes. I love Scotland and the Scottish people. Greetings from Poland.
I'm so happy you loved my beautiful country, the history and mystic appeal of the countryside is like no other. I've been in a lot of countries, but there is something about Scotland, that MANY people feel from all around the world when they get here, you really can't explain it. There are many places that fill you with awe, as the splendour is jaw dropping, everywhere you go. Nature really did do a number on Scotland. . . Thank you and , ,Haste Ye Back.
It truly is a special country 🥰 b has traveled to more than 20 countries and Scotland is his favorite and mine too! Everyone is so kind and the land has a remarkable energy to it. May I ask - do you have any places you wish people would visit more than the usual tourist areas? Places that are underrated in Scotland?
@@vanhallaadventures The little fishing villages in fife are really nice. You could also maybe visit Aberdeen, or if you're adventurous you could go to orkney, shetland or even st kilda! There are lots of beaches in northern scotland that look like they're from the Caribbean, but it's just because the water is super clean. It's still very cold though :( You could visit st Andrews if you like golf, or maybe do a tour of haunted stuff here like old castles
@@Alexander-vo4gv wow thanks! these are all really good ideas. we can't wait to return!
I loved hearing the bagpipes when I was a child, but didn’t visit until 1993, when I first glimpsed Scotland through slightly grimy train carriage windows, en route to Inverness from London. Even then, I felt like I’d “come home”, a feeling enhanced the more I travelled around your beautiful country.
I was able to return a further four times, the last in 2018, (pre-Covid, thank goodness!), but might have to rely on my memories and virtual travel from now on, as live in South Australia, so it’s a bit of a long and expensive trek to get there!
My favourite trip is up the Cattle Pass, to Applecross, returning via Kinlochewe - absolutely stunning scenery!
@@heatherjay8802 Haste Ye Back Heather, whenever that may be. There will always be a welcome here.
Thank you for this wonderful tour of Bonnie Scotland. Now that I am retired, I spend my winters with my daughter and granddaughter who live in Scotland. As a bonus, and despite the rain, it is so nice to get away from Quebec winters! A visit to Scotland is a must! 🏴
Wow, how beautiful! I've always heard how beautiful Scotland is and you certainly showed the beauty of it! ❤️
I left a piece of my heart in Scotland long ago. Most of all I remember the Highlands. Good to see you again ! 💕🌷
So beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you.
I just love all the green and the dark, cloudy ☁️ days.
I am absolutely enjoying this video so much. Makes me want to travel. You just capture the right moments on camera. Brilliant stuff 👍
Beautiful! I love Scotland too and your trip took me back to some places I have fond memories of. Another great video, Crystal & Brian😊
That cottage and the pub at the end were THE CUTEST! Definitely will stop there when we got to Scotland! 💖💖💖💖💖
I am glad that you enjoyed our dear country. I was born and raised here in Glasgow, I'm a photographer, whilst I have never been to places like Ullapool or the Isle of Skye, I know the scenery up north for sure is quite spectacular. No worries about that view you got though with the low cloud and rainy weather, if anything, it makes it dramatic.
An Ancient Greek philosopher scoured the West coast shores and labeled Scotland 'Skotos,' meaning 'The Land of Darkness,' even the Vikings who feared and respected the mainland found in their sagas in Iceland described the country as dark and gloomy with the weather. This gives you a sense of the meaning that although thousands of years have passed, you lived the experience they once had.
I must say, tourists tend to flock to those places, and I noticed you missed out two of Scotland's key iconic heavily touristy destinations in Stirling which is the Castle and Wallace Monument, but what a lot of tourists miss out is the East of that there is Castle Campbell. Whilst I am not sure Castle Campbell is open currently, it takes you way up into the hills and the viewpoint of the castle and overlooking the land is truly spectacular. Stirling is also home to Bannockburn; the famous battlefield where Scotland won it's independence.
Add to that, one must not forget to add in the fact that currently there is a project to build for the first time in over 2,000 years, a Pictish Broch settlement, they're planning on doing this in Caithness with the original building technique, so whenver they achieve that, that is definitely something tourists would wish to see.
There's even dear Rabbie Burns stuff to the southerly part of Scotland; his cottage to the West, as well as Ellisland farm where he spent most of his working life on the farm and Dumfries where his mausoleum is and house he sadly passed away at such a young age.
There is a lot that tourists would probably miss out, i.e; Plodda Falls that I recently photographed, which is a 151 foot drop waterfall nearer Eilean Donan Castle, as well as a long 3 hour hike and 3 hours back, the Falls of Glomach.
To the West of Glasgow, Largs, the famous location and last standing battleground where the Scots defeated the Norse Vikings, the museum there tells you all about that. Even the Orkney Isles has ancient Pictish remains and they hold a Viking festival there every year.
Nonetheless, for what you guys experienced in the time you were here, you saw a lot and you certainly looked like you's enjoyed it, happy for you's and you's are certainly more than welcome here in Scotland.
Amazing…Thank you for taking us along!
After just being in Culloden this summer I teared up watching this portion of your video. We followed the same path that you guys did! One of our favourite places on the planet!!!
This is the perfect vacation adventure! Highly recommend Scotland! Went for 2 weeks 20 yrs ago and it was THE BEST. 🏴🥃🐑🧚🏼♀️
I have been away from TH-cam for a very long time. Last time, I watched you take a long hike in Spain’s famous hiking trail. Now I am back to TH-cam and see you travel to Scotland. It is just in time. I have Scotland in mind.
Such a great video Crystal. So nice to see you and B together again and adventuring. Take care. I,hope your channel blows up,soon, you deserve to be very successful xx
Aww i love seeing both of you back in a video. Looks like you guys had a great trip
Nice coverage of Northern Scotland, Amazing to watch.
I greatly appreciated the respect you showed to the fallen at Culloden. And thoroughly enjoyed your vlog.
A long time ago I was UK MD of a company bought over by an American outfit based in Scranton. I grew to be very fond of the people I met on my travels there, from NYC to San Francisco. Thanks for being you and for visiting the biggest wee country in the world. X
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am glad to see you two travel together again.
Wonderful video!! I’m so looking forward to seeing Scotland, now even more after seeing your beautiful views.
Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻
Judith byerly If or when you visit BONNIE SCOTLAND, i would recommend you don't get sucked into trying to see 'everything' in one visit.. There really is so much to see, regardless of area you choose to explore.
Another beautiful video. Thank you both for sharing
I love all your videos, but I especially love seeing you both together!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Much love to yas always!!
What a lovely video! Can’t want to go to Scotland! Thanks for the upload!❤️
This was amazing guys! Huge fan of you both. I can’t wait to go to, Scotland!

Thanks for your amazing travelog and tribute! Delighted you enjoyed your visit and welcome back any time! If you do return I can highly recommend to take a van around the North Coast 500!
Cued Mìle Fàilte 🤩
We’re going to Scotland for our honeymoon in September and this is SO helpful!!! We already knew we wanted to do Edinburgh, Culloden, Inverness, and Loch Lomond so this is helping us to really come up with our game plan. Thank you!!
Congratulations!
Glad this video could help you.
Have a great trip!
If you’re into spooky and creepy stories then book evening walking tours and underground ghost tours. Edinburgh has a very interesting history. Just to add to your itinerary if you have time 👍🏼
We are going for our anniversary in September, hope it's good weather for all!
Beautifully shot with an informative narration thank you , I've lived in the western highlands ( Torridon ) for 70 years now and to see the stars emerge as complete darkness falls and the heavens appear is a wonder not to be missed , all the best for your travels and haste ye back .
Thank you and thanks for watching!
On my bucket list, thank you for the tips & ride along! 🥾🏔🇨🇦😉
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Amazingly perfect!! Thank you for sharing such beautiful content!!
Thanks for watching!
Love the Video!!! Makes me want to visit Scotland again🥃
I truly believe that I can die with no regrets if I visit these four places in my lifetime: Scotland, Peru, Faroe Islands, Alaska
Very good choices ❤️
I don't know what I loved more, your footage of Scotland or your reactions to Scotland! I really enjoyed watching this video and you've convinced me: I'm going!
Aw thank you! Scotland is the BEST! We love it! And I think you will too! Such a beautiful country!

Thanks for watching!
Please remember to subscribe and share with your friends. 😁
Loving visit amazing places
Hi guys I’m from Scotland and I enjoyed your video highlighting our wonderful and beautiful country take care
Thanks for watching!
Wow amazing landscapes of Scotland❤I like Castle of Edinbourg old city nature of this land,architecture of house and property of streets,love Scotland from Morocco🏴🇲🇦
Thanks for watching!
Liked your feedback on my hometown Fort William, good assessment.
Wonderful insight. The rose bushes at Balmoral castle reminded me of the same roses we have in Cyprus. We make rose water from them and the best rose water is found in a village up in the mountains called Agros ❤
Its amazing!
24:30 - coming in from torrential, ho horizontally pelting you cold rain and mist and then thinking “it was freezing and then it wasn’t freezing, but it was nice outside!” Is the most Scottish thing in the world.
Especially as you guys noticed that the weather goes through all 4 seasons in one hour sometimes.
Welcome to being one of us now ahah. (Though as others have already said, yeah, Edin-bruh 😅)
Lovely, I just found "Scottish hidden gems" too
Thank you for this wonderful tour of Bonnie Scotland. )
❤️❤️❤️
I love Scotland ❤most beautiful country ❤️
We agree! ❤️
It was so sweet to see you in your camino outfit when hiking. heheheh :)
wound up being the 57th person to smash the 'like' button and, get this, our Eagles football team was in the 57th Super Bowl this year. (we didn't win after a nail-biting game, but still!) Loved watching this. So adorable, beautiful and totally awesome job editing, etc. production, wow!
Super Bowl 57 was a great game. Although it would have been better if Geno Smith and the Seahawks were in. Maybe next year!
Thanks for watching!
Loved your video! You both need your own TV show on one of the major networks! Curious how much each of the cottages were to stay & can you give advice on how to book a similar trip please
As a lifelong Edinburgh man, the first 5 mins of this video almost killed me! The pronunciation of almost everything hahah! Particularly Ensign Ewart 😂
Aye, e-wart tickled me as well 😂
Och well I'm sure our pronunciation isn't perfect when we are travelling the world.🤔
Really enjoyed that ... thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Terrific video, very thorough. Scotland is our next big trip to celebrate our retirement! Thanks for this. Very nice drone flying by the by.
Thank for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! What a fantastic video - the first one to be really informative and entertaining at once! You are such a sympathic couple! My girlfriend and me want to travel Scotland this year and this really helped to get a great idea where to go. As we thought about the nc500 for a long time your trip makes more out of it. And... What a luck of weather you guys had! Did u film the whole ego perspective with a normal digital cam? The quality is brilliant! I haven't read the deccribtion yet but if you are so kind can you share the trip route with me so i can go plan from there. Cheers from Germany and all the best to you guys! Keep on making videos!

Great video! It’s pronounced Edin-‘bruh’.
🏴
ITS EDINBORO 😂
A no it's funny the way tourists say it 😆🏴💙🏴💙
Think we’re just all going to have to live with Edinborro , Loch Lomand and Glasscow .
Its no big deal.
I love Americans and America ,especially Neurch Yoorp and Lunk Anglepoise.Two great cities.
@@leosmoonfish2849So how is all of it pronounced right?
Really enjoyed the video. I live in Drumnadrochit, just south of Inverness, on the shores of Loch Ness. Nice to see a visitors perspective!
Great video so many come and don't see a lot of the great stuff you guys did. I'm also a big fan of the Auchentoshan three wood you were enjoying, some great drone footage and on Skye that can be hard with the wind, great job to well done :)
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Love Scotland gorgeous place as well accents beautiful
We agree!
We will travel to Schottland next year in April ❤
The Elephant House is closed, due to a fire. Edinburgh has a wonderful art museum, and it's FREE! Then there's the National Museum of Scotland, Rosslyn Chapel just outside Edinburgh, St. Giles Cathedral, Victoria and Cockburn Streets, and so much else. I'd like to say a word in defense of Fort William. The railway station makes it a convenient base to see other areas, plus there's a couple of grocery stores, a pharmacy, a bookshop, and more, in case you need to resupply yourself or pick up some medications. It also has some nice walks, and Ben Nevis, if you're up for some serious hill walking. The Bistro at The Alexandria Hotel has the best Yorkshire Pudding.
I am grateful for you sharing the restaurants. I can plan a great trip, but I am horrible and picking restaurants! SUPER horrible😂. Thank you!
I am of the Fraser clan also. very interesting. I must go someday.
Scotland!🏴Greggs!
New subscribers here. We're headed back for the month of August. We love your tips and route, though I think we'll be going up the west coast and coming around to Edinburgh and then down to spend September in England. You're video totally reminded me I need to bring our walking sticks!
Thanks for subscribing!
Bring your waking sticks 😀
@@vanhallaadventures seriously good advice! Hope you’ll pop over to our channel and see where we end up!
Very good video keep up the good work

I miss Scotland a lot! The most incredible country I've been so far
Couldn't agree more!
❤. Beautiful couple 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Même si je ne comprends pas trop l'anglais, cela est un superbe chemin. Merci à vous.
Happy you enjoyed it ❤️
Scotland is my dream place on earth. I wish I spend few years of life before I.....You know what I mean!
Just hearing those seagulls makes me homesick. I'm from Prestwick originally my family owned a hotel their called the TOWANS hotel. Unfortunately burned down a fee years ago. Scottish seagulls just sound different.
Wow total europ have lot lot lot lot lot lot lot of nice place that why bear grylls sir loves traveling .Thanks sir mam for nice video
Wow. You have totally encouraged me to go back to the UK. Especially to visit Scotland this time around. Thank you so much for sharing your trip. Question, was driving difficult? I'm hoping to drive myself. I usually travel alone under my own pace. 😊
Brian drove the entire time so I can't speak for myself BUT the roundabouts were the only thing we both cringed at when we first started driving. However he got used to it within 1 full day. The roads can be VERY narrow in rural areas so I would take that into consideration when renting a car. However they usually have smaller cars for rent over there anyways. I would say GO FOR IT! Maybe just watch a few videos on YT with tips for the UK. That is what I would do before heading out on my own. I totally relate to being somewhat worried/curious about this as I would feel the same. Let us know how it goes :) And thanks for watching!
Going to scotland end of september, going to Edinbruh, inverness, isle of skye and fort william, cant wait!
Where is Edinbruh?
@@davidlauder-qi5zvhe wrote it how it’s pronounced.
@@HibeeMcbee No, it's pronounced Edinburah. And its still
spelled "Edinburgh ".
Loved the cottage you stayed in but couldn't find the link anywhere? Love your fun energy.
oops! Here you go: www.booking.com/hotel/gb/stepping-stones-cottage.html?aid=304142
I'm taking my first trip to Scotland in April! Loved your video! But your filming seems so professional sometimes - do you use a drone?? Well done!!
Enjoy your time here!
Hey nice to see you ",B" 🙂
Okay he said Outlander not me! Haha I love Outlander and you married a Fraser! Wowwww I’m fan boying right now
