This is well done --- bringing the viewer close to the nature, and i love the pub, and the Scottish chowder.
I love Scotland nothing in the world beats it
Aww-good to hear I’m going in end of August for Shamanism workshops.
What two favorite things to see:do??
Don't worry about getting pronunciations perfect, many Glaswegians like myself can't pronounce some English towns and villages perfectly, so why should Scots get shirty about it? The more time you spend there you will pick it up as I have, living in England. I've been along those same roads many times but you showed me something I've not done before and that's getting the ferry across to the pub. That's added to my list for 2024. I try and get up there at least every second year as my partner adores Scotland. She fell in love with it on our first visit even though the weather was horizontal rain on Skye. In 2022 we did Harris, Lewis and the Assynt area of Scotland. OMFG is all I can say. Our whole party were just utterly blown away with the scenery, beaches, food and mountain treks! Keep up the good work pal 👍
Yesterday we returned from a week in Glencoe. I'm a Glasgow boy who lives in England now. But this place is forever extraordinarily magical to me. I say this as a Scot - but the waether was breathtaking. 25 degrees and cloudless blue skies all week. Like nothing I've ever experienced in all my times here. To have endless weather loveliness is rare in these parts. We too went down Glen Etive - the site of the famous James Bond 'Skyfall' (Ian Fleming had a lodge down Glen Etive to inspire its part in the story). Assuming you have the luxury of sunshine, It's best done late in the day as the golden light and contours are eye-achingly stunning.. You should also go back up the road to the Clachaig Inn. There can be few more handsome places to sink a beer. But you have to walk up to the Lost Valley. There's plenty detail on it on the Internet. A two hour long hike up between two of the Three Sisters. And when you get there and it's like you're in Jurassic Park. It really does feel like you've gone back a few geological epochs. (but with no velociraptors). Millions of people live in Britain and have no idea this amazing place is just up the road.
Sounds like you had a real adventure! Great detail, thanks for sharing your experiences with the channel!
I'm and Englishman with a Scottish parent but my heart will always be in scotland
Driving through Glencoe with my family was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Hope to return in the near future.
A photographers dream ❤
One most stunning and soul cleansing drives I have ever done , rain or sun, it stunning and well worth it .🐨🥰
It really is!
As some one who doesn't drive you're showing areas that I am unlikely to see . Thoroughly enjoying them and perfect to rewatch in the depth of winter. Keep them coming.
Hello Maureen, thank you for supporting us with a coffee that was lovely. Glad you enjoyed the tour around Glencoe. A few more episodes to go on our highlands trip yet! ☺
There are many places you can visit in the area via train & bus
I also don‘t drive „on the wrong side of the road“ (I’m from germany, my brain can’t handle everything mirrored 😂) but I took a tour and was able to see the Highlands, Glencoe, Fort William.. and I will be back!
There is a great Corres folks song called How cruel is the snow that swept Glen Coe.
Great stop shots, I fell in love with this glen about 30 years ago--took this road.
thanks much.
I've been through Glen Coe - a very atmospheric place !
It sure is especially when its cloudy and the wind whips up.
It is my dream! Pure nature, silent, green grass, waterfalls, birds singing...and strong history...💓
Hope you get to visit and experience it.
@@MemorySeekers Maybe, but I am widow with small Kid And IT Will be a little complicating....I scarry driving on the left 😃....
Thank you so much for this video. I caught this about a week before we left for Scotland and we took Glen Etive and absolutely loved. it. The views were stunning and a welcome relief from the tourist chaos at The Three Sisters! Kilchurn Castle was a real find and we spent a good bit of time there just soaking it in. Thanks again!
So glad that the video helped you with your travel plans! Thank you for watching and letting us know 😊👍
I remember many years ago driving down to Loch Etive and found a Post Office there, probably long since gone.
Yes I don’t think that is there anymore, we certainly hardly passed any properties.
Great video it really does not matter if it rains Scotland it always looks good , thanks for the video.
Yes I agree the scenery is gorgeous whatever the weather.
Many thanks for a reminder of a great, but all too short holiday in the Highlands.
At the beginning of August, after an overnight stop in Stirling and a diversion to take in the Falls of Dochart at Killin, my son and I continued on to Glencoe and Fort William. Beyond Fort William, we stopped at Spean Bridge and paid our respects at the Commando Memorial (he has worn the green beret). Fortunately, the weather was altogether better for us than for you.
Our objective was to get to Elgin, where we had hired a Caterham 7 for three days of exciting motoring around the Cairngorms, with no power-assisted brakes, no power-assisted steering, and with our backsides only inches above the tarmac.
There was some emotion and nostalgia in the trip for me, as I constantly had reminders of holidays in Scotland in the 1960s with the girl who was to become my wife and who is no longer with us.
Thank you for sharing a wonderful experience. Hiring the Caterham sounds amazing!
We really are enjoying your videos. We booked a Scotland trip starting 5/1/23. We booked the same place next to the Corran ferry due to your video. Hope the pub across the loch is open for dinner! Also booked the salmon smokehouse tour as well. Thanks for all the tips! Very helpful for trip planning! Cheers from South Carolina USA.
Hi Scott, get to hear that the video has given you some ideas to incorporate into your trip. I hope it all works out well for you. Just remember the last ferry is 9.20pm back! ( Check latest times! ) I am sure you will an amazing time!
@@MemorySeekers yup! We don’t feel like swimming back to the B&B! Cheers!
@@scottdiussa5659 😂🤣
i love where you put your camera when driving around those gorgeous mountains and lakes etc, i feel like in sitting in the car with you looking straight out of the windscreen. Scotland is just so pretty. At that Inn i think id have that melt in the mouth steak and ale pie, i was surprised how reasonably priced the meals were. and the place where your staying, wow... thats all i can say :)
Ohh ... thanks for the memories. We lived in Glasgow for a while during the 90s. We would drive up to Glenco then down to Fort Williams regularly just to experience the Scottish Highlands. We didn't venture into Glen Etive. Miss those beautiful sceneries.
Thanks for the comment Steven, great to hear it brings back memories.
I have no words to communicate how much amazing this place seems to me. I have just approached this channel as an English student, and I have the feeling that I am going on holiday, thanks and greetings.
I visited these places in Scotland in 1981. Beautiful! Hi from New Zealand🇳🇿
Hello Annette i am sure it stirred some memories 😊
Yes, it certainly did. Love your video’s!👍🏼
Super !
Thank you!
My mom and I were there in July 2012. I drove through Glencoe but really couldn’t enjoy it due to all of the cars and feeling like I was being surrounded by too many people. Making that turn onto the road for Glen Etive was like entering a different world! We only had one other car going the same way (we hopscotched them the entire 12 miles), and we just loved the drive. Beautiful scenery (although it was a bit drier, so not as many waterfalls), quiet road, and just a relaxing hour+ to breathe and enjoy. At the end of the road, I took a panoramic photo of the loch with the hills on either side that takes pride of place on my wall (beside my photo of the Ring of Brodgar).
Just return from Scotland yesterday. I enjoyed the Rob Roy hotel accommodation in Sterling, went to Edinburg for the fantastic architecture and vibe ,then went to the very impressive Military Tattoo Festival and finished my jurney viziting Lake District ! Unbelievably Scotland, is an unforgettable ,amazing beautiful Country !❤
beautiful in any kind of weather. clear waters, wide wiew and few people..a paradise
We just came back from an epic day trip from Edinburgh and we took your suggestion to drive down Glen Etive and we are so glad we did. Gorgeous scenery we likely would not have found without your video. Thank you so much!!!
Oh that is great to read, so glad you enjoyed the drive. ☺👍
Love it, love it, love them everywhere, thank you so much for taking me there.
Glad you enjoyed it
Moving to the highlands. One of many dreams.
Hope they come true!
Love your videos so relaxing!
Many thanks!
I really like how you go with the weather .
Wonderful , really rugged scenery .it's like Alaska without the glacier s .
The seafood looks amazing .
I live inland in the
states hard to get good seafood .
Thank you for the tour of of Scotland .
It was still spectacular even with the bad weather at times. We only had the one day there so had to take our chances. 😊
@@MemorySeekers thank you for the reply .
It's surprising how Scotland is so rugged yet civilized .nice restaurant , and places .
Also it's amazing clean kept up .
So .nice
Alaska when I went had the same weather .
But more isolated.
Thank you .
I am a new subscriber and I feel I joined up at a particularly good time because of your excellent coverage of the Scottish Highlands. Sth a treat. I appreciate the attention to detail in your videos and excellent photography. Clear, concise and practical, all elements that inform so well nicely wrapped up in delightful commentary. Thank you also for entering the prices which are a good way for us to plan a similar visit when possible. I am anxious to see your next episode. Thank you for all you do for us. xx
Hello and welcome to our channel. Thank you so much for the lovely comment and for watching. Its very encouraging and glad you like the detail we put in. It is good to know it's useful. All the best Si and Will.
Ditto to what Gorgo said. :)
Attention to detail? Calling Glencoe a valley? I don't think so.
Thank you so much .your videos are stunning , amazing and breathtaking.very good job!!!
Glad you like them! Thank you Erika.
Thank you for all your effort. Much appreciate. ❤️🇨🇦
No problem Lorrie we enjoy bringing it to you.
Beautiful video of Glencoe and Glen etive. I live within that area. And the scenery is spectacular. Especially if your winter camping in Glen etive. Its so magical when the moon comes up and you get the Reflection on loch Etive . There's no one around except you and Mother Nature. Fantastic
Thank you Gary, what a place to live! Loved every minute of our trip.
Beautiful scenery.Beautiful country 🏴🏴
Scotland is amazing. 👍
Going to Scotland in September from Canada, I cannot wait!
It’ll be my first time, I’m so looking forward to all the beautiful places to see 😊

Hello all , brilliant video, wife and I actually stayed at the inn at Ardgour after getting off the ferry for my 60th birthday treat fantastic place excellent food. Stayed in Red Squirrel room for two nights. Can't beat the scottish scenery and people. We must go back one day.
Lovely to read you have visited and enjoyed it as much as we did just for dinner.
WOW that scenery at 3:33 amazing.
It certainly is even in poor weather
Many, many thanks for creating and sharing this beautiful video presentation. To someone living in the desert southwest of the USA such scenery and such weather are almost inconceivable.
Hello thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the tour. It is spectacular. More to come this weekend!
That was amazing!!! I would choose fish and chips with a pint...thank you!!!
That sounds like a really good choice!

Have fun! Hope the weather is kind.
This series brings back memories of my younger years when my parents would take me on coach tours of Scotland, wish I had a camera back then.
I hear you, I wish I had filmed so many places in the past but still just means we have to go back all over again!
Drove through glencoe 4th time in my life 2 days ago.
It has a unique thing about it the 2nd 3rd and 4th time through effected me as much as the first time.....surely one of the most dramatic landscapes on earth
I can imagine it’s different every time as the weather plans a big part in how the landscape looks. Amazing indeed.

What a mesmerizing scenes and scenery! Thanks
Most interesting and beautiful video with the most gorgeous scenery of the Scottish highlands! Loved the waterfalls, and the young deer standing under the tree! Well done indeed again! Looking forward to seeing the next installment! Thank you!
Thank you Cassandra, it was a magical place to be!
Breath taking
Lovely
Delightful and peace of mind!☺️
Simply beautiful
I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. I hope to see Glencoe in person someday, but you made me feel like I was there. I’d be hard pressed to tell you what I’d choose from the pub menu. I kept looking for simple fish and chips. Ha! Can’t wait for the next one. Safe travels!
Hi Todd, great to hear that you really liked the video. Even though the weather was not great it still is magical. Hope you do make it there someday soon. You cannot go wrong with good old fish and chips!👍☺
Thank you. 👍😀
Terrific！精彩的风光视频，非常实用的旅游指南，这条线路我去过多次，回味无穷。Excellent scenery video, very useful travel guide.Excellent scenery video, very useful travel guide. I've been to this route many times, and I can't stop thinking about it.
Thank you so nice to hear you have visited.
Beautiful place 😍
Great videos of a magnificent country keep it up brilliant
Thanks, will do!
What an Incredible Video. I flew to Glasgow and than up to Aberfeldy when I was 16, wow, 42 years ago. I still get excited when I see the Scottish Highlands. Great video and looking at the food you ordered I almost had to stop the video to get something to eat. I look forward to the next video. Cheers!
Haha thanks for your kind comment Len!
The food was really great as you can see!
The upcoming videos are worth waiting for, we visited some extra special places 🙂
Another wonderful movie! The accompanying story and the pleasant atmosphere you create makes me think as if I was on holiday there myself.
Thank you Hein for the lovely comment. So glad it made you feel that way. All the best.
Hi memory seekers and thank you. The day we left we drove all the way around the loch and only saw one bin wagon en route to Fort William. So quiet.
Muy bueno el video, habia estado en Glencoe pero no conocía la carretera hacia Glen Etive.
La próxima vez no me la pierdo.
Muchas gracias por el aporte.
Hope you enjoy the drive next time.
What a fabulous video! saved on laptop to do this trip soon Thank you X
What a location ❤️❤️
Heading over in early September 2023❤️ Thanks for making the video, and sharing your inspirations!
The lemon and black pepper roasted haddock hands DOWN! We don't have as much haddock here in the SE of the US. Thanks to you both for the fun look-see of your Scotland. I hope to come one fine shiny day!
Sounds a good choice! Glad you are enjoying the tour and yes come to Scotland its amazing!
I am watching this because I will spend four weeks self drive tour of the Highlands in September 2023 and to my surprise the Inn at Ardgour turns up. My family was born in Bonnybridge Scotland and my father was stationed at Ardgour at the beginning of the war, didn't like it and pleaded with his father to allow him to come back to Bonnybridge to work in the family foundry, Smith and Wellstood, which my Grandfather allowed for the war effort.
was up there a couple of weeks ago the scenery is spectacular
Beautiful. Thanks so so much
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you get to visit in the future too!
GREAT TRIP, ENJOYED IT! COULD SMELL THOSE DELICIOUS MEALS! LOVE SCOTLAND, HEARTFUL AWE TO TRAVEL THRU YOUR CLIPS! 👏👏👍🇬🇷
Thanks!!
Yes, the food was spectacular! So good!
We also had great food in Greece, dreaming of octopus sat outside now….
WELL HOPE IN GOOD TIME YOU COME BACK & ENJOY GREECE! STAY WELL & SAFE. WE WILL KEEP WATCHING YOUR WONDERFUL WORK.THANK YOU, ENJOYED VERY MUCH RE SCOTLAND. WANTED VERY MUCH TO SEE IT & THERE I SAW YOUR WORK. GFEAT TO BOTH OF YOU!
This looks amazing thanks for sharing!!
It’s hard to do it justice on the video. It’s an epic landscape!
What a wonderful part of the Highlands :) I wish to visit it one day, but this is the closest experience I'll treasure for the moment ❤
Well hope you make it happen Iris, and this gave you lots of ideas.
Such a stunning part of the UK, cycled and driven extensively, and I've climbed Ben Nevis twice - quite the experience. Great video as always 👍🏻
Amazing as usual 👍👍👍 i feel as if I'm traveling through your video, it's so natural & informative that one cant ignore your efforts
Excellent. Enjoyed every minute
Glad you enjoyed this one.
Love your videos, feeling a wee bit homesick! Been through Glen Coe countless times in my life and never seen it looking the same twice. Only been through Glen Etive once (pronounce E as in Everton but don't worry I've now lived in Wales for 19 years and still can't get my tongue around some of the names!) The time I went down Glen Etive was at Easter more than 20 years ago, one of the waterfalls was completely frozen and then we got to Loch Etive and it was flat calm and so warm we had to strip off our jackets and had a picnic on the shore, just stunning. Next time you're crossing the Connel Bridge going north, look up to your right for a stunning view up Loch Etive and if you look down to the water you will see the Falls of Lora which is in the sea and is stunning if you can see at a Spring tide
Thanks for the lovely comment and suggestions on future walks! Would be nice to see it in winter.
Terrific,magnificent,absolutely stunning!Thank you for this journey!
You are very welcome!
Con cada nuevo video disfruto más.
Qué felicidad encontrar vuestro canal!! No solo las imágenes sino toda la historia que nos explicas, es genial.

Ahh thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it lots more to come!
What an amazing video and breathtaking scenery. I'm part Scottish but not sure where my ancestors are from. All I know is that they moved to Canada in the 19th century.
beautiful view my dear friend 🌿
Great stuff…
Vielen lieben Dank 🙏für dieses grandiose Video von Euch, man kann gar nicht genug bekommen, alles ist so wunderbar in Szene gesetzt, tolle Erklärungen und wie immer sehr detailliert 👍Die Landschaft ist einfach atemberaubend. Weiterhin gute Reise🚞🛳🚍
Another very interesting video with lots of beautiful scenery, many little and not so little waterfalls, as well as all the history about each castle you show us..... Anxiously waiting for the next one!!! thank you both very much and keep safe...
Thank you Diana. Not long to wait now. Ready for a steam train ride is some amazing scenery. 🚂

Thank you ..very informative. Planning to take this route this month.
