  • We didn't really know about this one until Alicja found a great book on Amazon - 'Angus Coastal Trail' by James Carron. Buying the book was the easy bit, we filmed the difficult bit! Follow us as we try to walk the full traditional Angus Coast from Invergowrie (just outside Dundee) all the way to River North Esk (just north of Montrose). Spoiler Alert: it wasn't as easy as we expected!
    Filmed 30th April - 3rd May 2023 in Angus, Scotland.
    Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!

      "Looking back at Dundee in the sun, it's beautiful..." are words I can't imagine being said.
      I might go with: "Dundee is the Stockton on Tees (or Hartlepool) of Scotland".
      Now for the rest of the video and memories of St Andrews where father-in-law studied and played a LOT of golf, and Arbroath where my wife spent her summer holidays with Grannie + Grandpa...

Answering to your question: no, I don't think I'll ever do that, that's why I enjoyed it so much in this video, I only missed the smell of the sea and the wind, but it felt like to be with you both in this beautiful adventure (also the everlasting fear of missing open pubs or café ahahahha). cheers!!

    During the sixties I would spend my summer holidays in Montrose as my mother was from Christies Lane, Montrose. As a youngster I always wanted to go to Scurdie Ness lighthouse but never managed to. 50 years later I finally made it to the lighthouse and seeing you both passing it brought back memories. Great video again, I was tired just watching you both!!

    @paulharvey9149 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Steve, you're inspiring me now! I couldn't manage to walk even a fraction of the whole thing, but the area round the City Dock in Dundee looks interesting and might be within my capability, if I gave my self plenty of time! The bit between Broughty Ferry and Balmossie is probably just about do-able too, or between there and Monifeith, whose beach is a real walk down memory lane...! (I can't do the whole distance from Broughty, unfortunately - as I didn't have much energy left just walking from the town to the castle, there...).
    The railways stations at Balmossie, Barry Links and Golf Street are served by just two trains a day in each direction - a frequency that doubled after many years of just one a day, a few years ago... As I expect you'll know, such minimal services are usually provided at wayside stations the railway would ideally like to close, but doesn't want the expense of going through the lengthy legal procedures of doing so, and so they're known as "parliamentary" trains - intended solely to meet a minimum legal requirement in order that a station remains technically open. They did have at least a 2-hourly service running most of the working day until 1992, when most of the Dundee - Arbroath local trains were withdrawn to facilitate faster Aberdeen services in the run-up to the privatisation of British Rail - and for a dozen or so years, even the very centrally-placed Broughty Ferry station had only three or four trains a day. (Originally running from Dundee East (closed 1952, along with Easthaven, Elliott Junction, St Vigean's, Inverkeilour, Lunan & Usan stations), most of the trains originated in St Andrews thereafter, running via Tayport and Dundee until those lines were closed in the 1960s, thanks to both Dr Beeching and the construction of the Tay Road Bridge). I take it you're also aware that the latter is also built upon infilled docks where it lands in Dundee? Dock Street was previously right at the water's edge, hosting both road and rail traffic - as a single line ran along its' quayside, providing a physical connection for goods traffic between Dundee's East and West (terminal) Stations. Thanks also for the Auchmithie detour - I've also not been there but heard is is very picturesque - and now I know why! Oooh, those dunes at Montrose! (Apologies - it was a particularly memorable school trip, the best part of 50 years ago...!)

    Sunday morning edit: That hole in the shoe is not a bug, it's a feature. Good hiking shoes need vents!
    …And if the hope for a Kebab and a beer is your only motivation that keeps you going, the vision of closed shops may stop you dead in your tracks. You need an additional bit of motivation. Alicia probably should have a cattle prod in her bag or so! 😊

You have an excellent way of informing with humor, and giving us glimpses to cities, countries and continents that we won't get to in our lifetime! We had an enormous day of yardwork that left us spent, and as we watched last night, I felt myself having tired legs just from WATCHING you and Alicja walking 51.5 miles!!!!😂😂😂
    We got a wee tear when you walked past Carnoustie- our eldest daughter is a collegiate golf coach, and in 2013 she was handpicked to play a Collegiate style Ryder Cup in Scotland representing 12 female college golfers from the US. She played Carnoustie, AND St. Andrews, and at SA, she shot an 82! (Collegiate players play from the men's tees, so this girl got game:-))

    How great was that! Well done to both of you for finishing. The scenery , the sound of the sea and seagulls captivated me. Good idea walking towards your vehicle. Not for the faint hearted but... if i had a takeaway dangled infront of me for the whole walk well i think it would give me incentive😂. Thankyou again for taking the time and us along with you.

    So good to find this. I've been in and out of hospital in Czech Republic over the last 2 months and I missed it. Great to see you on the Arbroath Cliffs, been there more than a few times, best part of the journey. You definitely missed the low tide in Aucmithie for walking round the bottom of the cliffs, it looks completely different with the tide out.

    Lovely to see you both walking a trail I have done most of but in shorter stretches. I have deliberately skipped some of the cliff top stretches but have done more of the beach bits where you went inland to paths. I also went inland from the North end of Montrose ebach amd up to St Cyrus which is a nice walk. The Jack Up Rigs in Dundee are mostl;y there for servicing but they also use the port for short term stacking between contracts (they become like old friends when they return). The Port has seen ships decommisioned and scrapped. Yes there is a burn to cross between Westhaven and Easthaven but if you choose low tide it is doable and a lovely walk along the beach from Carnoustie to Arbroath.

    Another beautiful video. Do you know what the beef is between Arbroath and Montrose, football related? Years ago when he had his talk show Craig Ferguson visited and those smokies had me drooling. Loved seeing Arbroath again. Thanks as always for these videos, something to look forward to each week.

    A wee bit disappointed that you seemed to skip from broughty ferry to Barry/ buddon as nothing was shown of my old stomping ground of Monifieth. Actually Dundee and the Ferry are not in Angus. I thought you could walk the beach from broughty ferry to Monifieth but not sure if that’s possible? Missing these scenes as now retired in the Philippines. Love your videos and your easy to understand accent.

    Hi Steve, just enjoyed this video for the second time. My wife and I were at East Haven last Friday where we had our picnic. Lovely wee place and great toilets all looked after by the local people. If you like ice cream I can recommend East Scryne Fruit farm on the wee road down to East Haven from the main road. Just follow the big strawberry signs. The large strawberry cones are to die for. The ice-cream is mixed and churned when you order it and contains a scoop of fresh strawberries mixed in, the real mc coy not whippy rubbish. It's gid. 😋. Only thing is car park is small. Thanks again guys. Take care.

    Like yourself, I love Dundee - the three J's 'Jam, Jute & Journalism'. As a Fifer, and from St Andrews, I know Dundee very well. Studied at Dundee University and graduated in 1991. One of the longest city seafronts not only in the UK, but the world. Great panoramic view from the Fife side of the 'Silvery Tay'. As always a great video. It is great to see places I remember so well. Thank you.

Very much recommended!) & what a wonderful way to end our day by watching another awesome trek from you. Your editing just gets better & better Steve. Dunno if you recall a few months ago I (sort of) suggested this walk to celebrate your 50k subs but you declined saying your aching limbs may not be up to it? Well, you got there after all bud so well done to you and Alijca. Great stuff! However, you're about to crash through that 60k subs barrier( 👏👏👏👏 in advance BTW) so I have my thinking cap on for that milestone too. You have been warned!

    Auchmithie beach is a fantastic rock collecting spot. The stones are naturally rounded by the waves and tides tossing them back and forth like a rock tumbler. Fun fact: Scarlett Johansson filmed a scene there for the film Under the Skin, released in 2012. Be well folks!
