    Gents, this is really a stellar episode! Your editing and the use of drone footage are just getting better and better! The shots of you crossing the big aqueduct from the drone were just excellent. I have to say that you really improved my day with this wonderful film. I really like how Otis has become a proper part of the crew, sitting up on the navigation deck with you two for most of the film. Excellent! Best wishes from a cold and snowy Central Michigan!!!

      You know, I was thinking about Otis as well. He seemed very stoic in this episode. But then I realized he probably felt the need to be extra vigilant what with his crewmates messing about. Love all you fellas. Florida Laura 🍊🤗🧡

    My Grandfather-in-law always said he was born in Edinburgh but recently I obtained his immigration papers which say he was born in Falkirk. This episode has been especially interesting since I’m getting a bird’s eye view of the area. He was quite a character and I have fond memories of him. Awesome views. Thanks guys. As always. 😊

    What a beautiful canal, quite narrow as you said, but it hugs you as you travel along. The aqueducts were beautiful, and your shots from all angles gave them real gravitas. Brilliant history along the way, and I'm sure the residents of Linlithgow will be delighted at their own place in the books, and of course, in Star Trek folklore! Another gold standard vlog guys. Just love Otis photo bombing your intro! He's such a cutie. Keep warm xxx

    This one was truly amazing ! So many good bits, scenery and history. I very much enjoyed the trip across the Avon Aquaduct, every bit as spectacular and breathtaking as the Pontcysyllte which I've had the good fortune of crossing aboard an ABC Hire boat. And . . . I have to say, the story about the two blokes who were murdering and selling bodies for medical dissection was quite intriguing, especially when one of them received the same fate in the end; the skeleton in the museum was right out of Ripley's Believe it or Not ! Thanks once again Colin and Shaun for capturing and sharing so much beauty that is Scotland. I wish you both a Happy Christmas and a happy and healthy 2022.

Not sure I would like the tunnel though. I hate the squirty bottle, you never seem to be able to get everything out of the bottle.

    In the 1930s. my uncle, Ian Waugh, and his friends would go to the Falkirk Tunnel and play their ukuleles. The tunnel amplified the sound. My mother was a little girl and she went with them sometimes. She’s now 98 and still talks about it.

    Great job again gentlemen. I thought I was fast out the blocks watching the video only 37 seconds, allegedly, after it was posted and straight to a comment on completion but there have been hundreds of views and more than 70 comments ! Something is going on. I really enjoyed this episode and look forward to the next as I was just in Falkirk a few weeks ago, to see my Mum and brothere for the first time in two years, as COVID has meant I have not been able to travel back over. We went to the tea room, right by the quiet basin that you pointed out, and took various walks by the water. I was just waiting for you to mention the “ Laughin` Greetin` Bridge” as I was sure you would do but I guess there is not enough time to cover anything. Sitting here in the Czech Republic each Friday my weekend kicks off watching you two. No pressure then, because if you miss out one Friday then I am going to basically feel like the work week hasn`t stopped. Also looking forward to hearing about how you shall feel about heading back down south, which I know is home, and if your time in Scotland will have left a lasting impression.

I'm glad no-one got hurt in the accident with the other narrowboat, it looked like they hit you fairly hard too.
    Thank you for sharing, much love to you both & Otis. xx 💖

    In Christchurch New Zealand one of The rivers going through the city is called the Avon and is named after the river in Scotland . Two of the early settlers were the Deans brothers and before coming to New Zealand their family farmed near the Avon at Kirkstyle, Riccarton, Scotland . When the came to Christchurch they named the river Avon after the one near there home town and began farming in a area they called Riccarton. Their original cob house still exists as well as a larger wooden house . Also they preserved Deans bush an area of 6.4 hectares one of the few areas left of the original forest on the Canterbury plain . This has a predator fence around it and the hope is one day to reintroduce Kiwis to this reserve.

    There were two contactors used to build the union canal one starting At Edinburgh and one starting at Falkirk they both met just past the tunnel at Halglen, because it was a contour canal the Edinburgh contractor had it much easier than the Falkirk contractor, who had to tunnel through solid rock, the bridge on the other side of the tunnel is called the laughing/greeting bridge and has stone carvings of the contractors laughing and greeting

    Love seeing Scotty's future birthplace. James Doohan's family supports Linlithgow's claim.
    And when Otis's ears flap in the wind he reminds me of Falkor, the Luck Dragon in Neverending Story. He is a very handsome dog.

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He does! A few people have said that. I hope Otis doesn't;t grow that big though 😂

    Thank you so much for doing what you do. Be well and take care of each other. FYI: They did not name that star constellation the Big Squirter! Just saying. That said, I like both dipping and squirting. Is that bad? Oh My.

    Thanks for the vlog. Twenty years ago , we went on the replica steam packet boat, Victoria, which our friend was involved in the renovation of her. I even got to steer her, which was interesting as a she has central steering. She was moored up at the Linlithgow canal centre when you went past. Definitely worth a visit. Great reminder of past times. Thanks again for all your vlogs.

    OK. End of sillyness. Wishing you both a fab Christmas.
