Escaping the Edinburgh rain to search for the colours of Autumn/Fall in Perthshire, Scotland

- October was a terrible month for weather here in Scotland - rain rain rain, but even though the forecast for today was awful, we still headed out to see if we could cobble together some kind of video for you in a month that has otherwise been a write-off! Will we find ANY dry weather? And more importantly, will the colours of autumn (colors of fall) :) show us their full glory? Probably not...
Filmed on Thursday 28th October 2021.
For more info on Ossian's Hall, check out the following links. Interesting place with a stunning location, I'm not surprised it's so popular for wedding photos!

I know I sound like a broken record but this is absolutely magnificent from start to finish. I love, love, love the little tunnels that you went through. I've come to the conclusion that I say the work that you do to make these videos for us it may be the wrong expression. The time you take to do these for us is great. Because you two certainly don't look like it's work. Happy autumn. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
Kate, you are so kind :) Thank you!!!!! It really is a pleasure and we always look forward to the next trip, especially chatting with wonderful people like you when we post the videos :)
Steve Loved the scenery around Killiecrankie the autumn colours are outstanding, Scotland truly has a lot going for it.
The colours are beautiful in your video, Steve & Alicja. The waterfalls area looks great; I missed them when I was up that way years ago. Don't know if I'll get back there. I was reminded of my visit to that area by your interesting film. Sunny when I arrived late in the day, then dull for 3 days, then sunny again on my day of departure. I would have liked to have seen the Autumn colours under blue skies & sunshine. That is such a good part of Scotland for Autumn colour. Thanks for that.
Cheers Robert! I drove past here last week and all the trees are now bare! Looked completely different!
Another spectacular trip through Scotland. Absolutely loved all the colours, stone bridges and the low clouds / fog in the valleys. Really stunning! PS - I hope you finally found a good chippie on the way home! :-)
Cheers Dirk! Oof, the chippie in Pitlochry was spectacular (or maybe we were just REALLY hungry after all that fresh air!)
Those views were spectacular. Thank you for posting this!
Autumn is my favourite time of year. Who cares about the cold and the rain when you have colours like this?
SO true, couldn't; agree more! :)
It’s not mine even though I was born in it. The reason is you know what’s coming afterwards.
Braw tour of the Hermitage and Killiecrankie, even on such a dreich day. Outstanding colours and scenery. Slàinte🏴
Thanks so much, dreich is such a perfect word :)
Very entertaining guys. Love your natural humour and the areas you visit. Rob
Thumbs up for this one. That low cloud swirling through the trees was magnificent. Great colours even with our favourite grey Scottish sky.😁👍🏴🇳🇱
Cheers Michael! We were lucky to catch that, 5 minutes later those trees were GONE! :)
Hi Steve, this was wonderful to see. Perthshire was such a colorful trip with beautiful water falls to match. Thanks for sharing this great video! 🤩
Oh wow, what a stunning scenery. I really miss Scotland.
I miss Scotland so much when I see these beautiful videos, I think I went to The Hermitage when I was a kid I'll have to ask my Mum!
Spectacular views guy’s 🌧🪵🌲🌿🍂 🎒🥾
Cheers Poppy! :)
Amazing walks. You found a few places I didn't know about! :-)
Cheers Bob - a voyage of discovery for us too :)
Well done you pair, it's always nice in the Hermitage, but the autumnal colours were pure magic‼️👏👏👏👏‼️
Cheers Billy - if only the sun had come out for us, although to be honest we were just glad to escape the rain! Forest enjoyed it though :)
So amazing and the colors are beautiful. The coin trunk was very unique. There is always a place to hike and explore. You and Alicja are so much fun to spend time with 🤗🤗❤️
Another Wicked video. Steve Alicja. Scotland has hidden gems 💎. It’s not just fish suppers and Iron BRU..
Perfect timing there Steve , another few weeks and all the leaves will be off and it'll look very bare .
We were sure running out of time, would have preferred a sunny day, but had given up on there ever being sun in Scotland again (until I was back at work of course and then it was beautiful!) :)
Lovely woodland and park
Another fantastic showing of Scotland’s endless beauty. You two are the cutest on your adventures together, so blessed to do all this together ❤️
Just love the end soundtracks you play. Will you share who the artists are or how we can access those songs? They make me feel all warm and fuzzy 😄
Thanks again to you!
Well, this comment is a year and a half late. Just found this video. Magnificent. I love fall and there is something neat about the fall and rain. The air smells so fresh. So much green. That's because of the rain you are lamenting. Thanks Steve. and Alicja.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Another stunning video wonderful scenery
Waterfalls real autumn 🍂 😍
Awww this was absolutely incredible
Beautifully captured.
Cheers Michael!
The scenery and colours are stunning! Thank you for sharing!
What a fantastic video, which shows the beauty of the Autumn season. The waterfall is spectacular.I love these locations with the woods and the waterfalls. Perthshire is beautiful. I was there in June and visited the Queen’s View. The scenery is spectacular in that part of Scotland . Thanks for taking us there.
You're so welcome Alasdair! Thanks for coming along to some very familiar places :)
Oh, those waterfalls - especially the first one. You certainly found some beautiful autumn colour on your travels.
Thanks Sue! Oh some sun would have been nice, but still wonderful to see :)
Decades ago we drove from Edinburgh to Tain and then up to John O'Groats in the autumn. This trip took me right back. It was beautiful. Thanks.
So glad to bring back some memories Angela :)
That was just beautiful thank you. Apt right now too! You have so many stunning places to visit quite close by, I wish I'd been born in Scotland! Lovely enjoyable video as always.
More beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking me sightseeing.
Aww very welcome Doris!
That was a nice wee run & walk through the forest. Alisia's hair is nice too, she's had a wee trim, thanks again folk's. 😄😄
Thanks Grace, oh and Alicja's hair? Yes that was meeeeeee who cut it :)
Christ! Thats some trek in just 1 day. Well done!!
Cheers Chris! It was just a pleasure to be away from the rain for a few hours :)
Great vidio Steve. We were in Scotland early October and can testify that the rain was biblical, but it was pretty spectacular on Glen Co, withe the water pouring off the mountains
Cheers Robin, it would be so atmospheric! But aye, what a washout October was!
Ahoy Pirates! Lovely footage! The 'locals opinion' was cuteness overloaded! XD Great colors and totally royal views! Was good to see you both again! Keep shooting the videos! Have fun and wash your hands! XD Bear hugs from Captain of the good old Blackthorne
I'm sure that same Robin follows everywhere, a wee ball of fluffy cuteness indeed, and so much to say!
Oh, this is wonderful, Steve and Alicja. I was entranced. I love the pictures of the trees in the clouds. I also loved the calm, serene waters. Did you ever find some chips? Thanks for your time spent entertaining us. Hugs, Merry Ann from Northwest Minnesota
That was gorgeous. Fall colors are here, as well. Great video! Thanks Steve & Alicja.
Cheers Philip! Bet you get a bit more sun though! :)
@@steve-marsh it's hit or miss, really. Central Oregon weather is unpredictable.
Is that the best episode yet? Could well be. Entertaining and interesting. You both seem to be relaxing into the starring roles.
Haha cheers Geoff, but those trees were the star of the show today :)
We're at rain, rain, rain here in Clackamas, Oregon USA also. Glad to see more of what we couldn't see in 2016. :-)
Ahhh you have some lovely weather there too - many happy memories from a damp trip to Oregon :)
Scotland in Autumn is beautiful. I was in Pitlochry and Dunkeld on Saturday 9th October. Sooo many coaches! Wish I'd known about the Hermitage beforehand but I do now🙂👍
Had to get my autumnal colours fix by going to Almondell which is a lot closer to home but not as spectacular.
Aye, definitely worth a visit the next time Michelle, the trees there were on a different level! :)
Honestly, that was wonderful. You run out of don’t you. Thanks so much….again!
Another stunning video, Steve and Alicja. Such beautiful colours and so interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it Johnny, cheers!
Some amazing autumn colours in this video really enjoyable keep up the good work as always 👌👌
Thanks for the continued support Michael!
This is beautiful! I’m coming to Scotland this October and the Hermitage is on my list!
brings back many a happy memory thanks
Ahhh that's great to hear Peter, cheers! :)
Just another fantastic video Steve Scotland is beautiful in autumn.cheers to use both.🍺🍺 ps loved the music at the end.👍
Cheers Derek! Aw the best :)
Another fab video the autum colours and scenery are magnificent x thank you both
Thanks so much Jeanette! Not the best day for it, but wonderful none the less :)
Brilliant video loving the colours, like you are walking through the clouds amazing 😎 well done on meeting the only coach tour for miles around 😂🤣
Haha just our luck! Cheers :)
Another awesome vlog from the terrific two!!! Thank you 👍🏴
Glad you enjoyed it mate! Thank you so much from us both :)
Done three bungee jumps years ago off the Garry bridge in Perth, not sure if they still do them now, jumped backwards on the third jump lol, you could jump twice but my pal lost his nerve so me and my daughter who was a bit younger then took his jumps ''one each'' so we jumped three times, still got some pics from it, was a great day out that.
Thanks again folks, enjoyed that wee tour.
And now I've seen the pics to prove it - crazy crazy people! (I'm just so jealous as I KNOW I'd love it but also KNOW I could never do it!!!) Cheers Gary!
Absolutely stunning. My goodness you put together such excellent videos. Great interaction with your partner she certainly brings a sparkle to your outings, such a lovely person.
Thanks so much James - we really appreciate it :)
Love The Hermitage, we have been there a few times over the years, it can be spectacular in Autumn.
Cheers Gillian, what a place! Can't believe it was a first time there!
Been to pitlochry a few caravan holidays years ago & walked the trail to kilicrankie..beautiful place..another amazing video & autumn is my fave time of the year..i read something not long ago & it is very true..autumn is my favourite colour..spot on ❤
We agree there for sure Karen, cheers!
Such an amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing. Our best to you both from Amarillo, TX USA
Perhaps the most magical place you have taken us to ... so far.
Another spectacular video Steve. Thank yous so much. 🏴☘️
Cheers Ryan! :)
So lucky to have access to these places. I live in the south east and similar options are limited. Its grim down south.
It was a lovely surprise to see big trees like that, the whole place was new to me!
Brilliant as always.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Found you guys a couple months ago and have absolutely enjoyed watching all your videos. Working backwards through your list, got to here and LOVED the beauty here! Great trips, great views, fun companionship between you both. Thanks so much for your efforts! Will continue to watch from Washington state in the USA!
Hey thanks so much! Some of this could 100% be filmed in Washington State eh!?
Just beautiful!
Heather, it was wonderful up there!
I’m definitely adding that to my wish list for my next trip!
Fab video, loved the autumn colours, thank you so much ❤️
Thanks Yvonne :)
The best Scottish double act since the Krankies are back. Yay. Always learning something new about Scotland.
Haha love it :) Cheers Roy!
Absolutely stunning scenery! Bonus info: Danish composer Niels W. Gade wrote, inspired by Mendelssohn's "The Hebrides" irrc, "Efterklange af Ossian" (Echoes of Ossian). If I ever get to visit, THAT'S what will be in my headphones for sure!
Awesome keep them coming watch out every weekend!
We be are from Canada and are planning a trip to England and Scotland you have given us so many ideas and places to think about visiting. You are doing wonderful videos for Scotlands tourism!
Stunning scenery! Very Ontario, Canada like. We just love your content!
Totally thought of Canada when we were there :)
Another fantastic video and your so lucky to live in such a stunning area Scotland never fails to surprise me with its hidden gems especially the ones you unearth kean says be careful in the woods as Scottish wildcats live there 😀 hope you got your fish and chips and me and kean look forward to seeing the next video stay safe both of you and keep a eye out for those pesky wildcats
Oh I'd love to see one guys! But maybe just from a distance, not too close - it would scratch me! :)
Nice one Steve. Some really beautiful colours.
Thanks so much! Not the best day for it, but still wonderful!
Thanks Steve, one more for my bucket list 👍
Cheers Henk, a wonderful place, we'll be returning a lot more now to breathe that fresh air :)
@@steve-marsh I can believe that. I am very jealous of you guys 😀
Absolutely love Tayside myself. Pitlochry is my favorite place but I've been to all the places you visited here through the late 80s, early 90s. Edinburgh is my favorite city by far but Perthshire is my favorite 'elsewhere' place.
Aye, stunning place for sure! Loved it!
Oh wow it’s beautiful there, stunning
Superb day out !
Sure was fun Jim, cheers!
Love your videos and this brought back a lot of memories of when i lived and worked up in Blair Athol visiting all these places and more Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! We drove through Blair Athol (lovely place!) but we were having camera issues at the time!
@@steve-marsh there are some great walks by the river in blair lots of tree and rock falls and pools
Visited Killiecrankie with the girlfriend post lockdown on a wee overnight in Pitlochry, can't believe we missed the Hermitage though! Love the videos, really motivating me to see more of the beautiful country that i live in and haven't seen enough of!
Cheers Mark! Aye, the trees there are something else, well worth a trip next time :)
Very therapeutic ! - I would suggest that the build up of negative Ions from the rushing water would pep you up as well. As always excellent quality and presentation !
Cheers John! Really appreciate it :)
Beautiful video and you two are so lovable! I feel as if I know you. Keep having fun. So glad to have discovered your channel & I have a lot of catching up to do.💓💓
I’m glad I found the channel as well, it has been interesting watching the videos.
You guys are a great team. 🏴❤️❤️
Cheers John :)
What a wonderful Autumn video.Some really amazing scenery!
Thank you Charles :)
Just beautiful.... we're in the middle of Spring in NZ ☺🌱🍁🍃🍂
I can never get my head around you being in a completely different season! :)
I’ve hunted wild mushrooms for over twenty years. Before gradually losing my sense of smell, I can tell you Alicia is right, especially if they’re in abundance, they definitely add to the earthy aroma of the woods. Another excellent video! Editing, sound, music selection, dialogue, and videography…top notch!
Thanks so much Doug! Oh Alicja does love a good mushroom :D I'll need to try her mushroom soup sometime!
Love it! Thank you! Robin was the cherry! 😘😘😘
Wee fluffy ball of cuteness!
My kids and I walked Torr Dhuin in Fort Augustus a few years ago. It’d make a great video. Keep up the great work 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Another wonderful reminder of our days in Scotland, absolutely stunning scenery and magnificent views over waterfalls, Autumn was my favourite time, the low lying clouds and mist added to the atmosphere, when you stopped to take a photograph Steve it was like looking at a massive patchwork quilt of Autumn shades, I couldn’t believe it when you finished up at the Queen’s View, one of the scariest ascents I have ever encountered on a bus in the pouring rain the bus wheels were inches from going over the edge of a very steep ravine, never again! but the view over Loch Tummel was Spectacular, and thank goodness we didn’t have to go back the way we came! 🥵thank you Steve and Alicja for another amazing journey back in time! 🤗
... a patchwork quilt of Autumn shades. What a fitting description of this beautiful scenery. 👌
Cheers Bernice! Haha I can just imagine that bus journey and you holding on tight! :D
@@GalwayGirl1 good morning, I always thought Scotland in the Autumn 🍂 was magical, as I said it reminded me of a giant patchwork quilt of many colours, we used to stay at Queen Victoria’s Hunting Lodge, after it was re-built when it was burnt to the ground, and that was surrounded with the scenery Steve filmed, Alan and I used to walk miles even after his Parkinson’s began, I don’t know how he managed it, because if he had fallen over we would still be there, no mobile phones in those days! 😂🤣 don’t forget Chris’s amazing video! Just had a wonderful e-mail from Jersey Girl, she sends all Sassenach’s her love ❤️ until later 🤗👋
@@steve-marsh for dear life, honestly Steve I thought we were goner’s, I have only seen Alan’s face that colour green once, on our first ever flight ✈️ from EMA, where he worked! 😂🤣 I didn’t mention in my comm. we ended up on a bus trip many years after that that decided to include ‘Queens View’ in its itinerary at the last minute, we were stuffed 🥺 couldn’t get off bus 🚌 once it started it’s ascent! two green aliens this time! I often wondered what if another bus came down at the same time, couldn’t see any passing places, fancy living on such a road!, dustbin men must have asked for danger money 💰 lots of it! 😱
Stunning scenery 🌲
Really enjoyed this but so sad for me. I usually stay at the other end of Loch Tummel but not for the last two years. This has made me homesick for my second home. All being well back in March next year.
You'll embrace it even more, but I feel your pain!
Hi Steve, love all your videos, thankyou for taking the time to make them. We are in Pitlochry for the night and we are definetly going to check out the hermitage on the way home to Dunfermline tomorrow. Cheers 😁👍
Cheers Martyn! What a place, hope you had a good wee diversion on the way home :)
@@steve-marsh it was amazing, like you said I have also driven past here many times and never stopped off. You have inspired me to explore a bit more. I've also joined your patreon to help support the channel. Cheers 👍
Another great video as always Steve! Someday I will have to visit these beautiful locations.
You'd get some lovely shots there :)
@@steve-marsh I’m sure. Scotland looks absolutely stunning. Can’t wait to visit.
Great video! Perthshire is beautiful! Bonniest part of Scotland imo! Watched a few of your videos now after being told by my brother you did the Montrose one! I’ve lived in Montrose for around 10 years and love the place! Used to go for walks with my partner to places like the hermitage and queens view but not really fit for it these days! If you’ve not been to plodda falls near tomich invernessshire id say go as it’s a belter of a waterfall there! Thanks for the videos and keep em coming 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey cheers for the tip Andrew, and of course for your support of the channel! Really appreciate it!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks so much John :)
Steve why have I never been there,I think I know Scotland, and then she says oh no you don't, thanks guys 😎
Same Douglas! :)
Great vid Steve, I'll maybe head up there next Sat
Hey Steve ... I know i've said it before but i absolutely love your video's , im totally addicted now lol . What a lovely couple you both make and how you both spend your time bringing so much enjoyment to others. Please keep them coming Steve the next vid cant arrive quick enough my friend. In meantime regards to both yourself and Alicia , Please take care and be safe from Costa Del Belfast Northern Ireland.
Cheers Rab! Sorry I'm taking so long to reply!!!
@@steve-marsh I understand my friend i know your busy .
Great video again Steve..
I can give you some haggis, because if you believe me or not I'm a haggis maker
So I coming from Romania to make haggis for the Scottish people 😆
Fantastic Valentin! And thanks so much :)
So easy to FALL for those autumnal colours. Like you we have been past those places on that stretch of the A9 so many times and not stopped, though during the summer months they have looked very busy. I must make the effort to pull over next time we are passing through. Did once walk the dog up a track just off the A9 on the B867. Goes up the hillside opposite Dunkeld with fantastic views on the right day.
haha nice work Chris :D Well worth a diversion next time :)
Your "pigeon" looks like a Haida Thunderbird. Heavens knows how it managed to fly all the way to Scotland from the Pacific Ocean.
All of those waterfalls would have been deeply sacred places 2500 years ago. I suppose that they still are.
That fella has a story to tell for sure! :)
Well if that was her 1st attempt at being in charge she did quite well. we could tell she was in charge cos she bossed you around pretty well.
The only crazy wee dance that i noticed was her impression of a chicken pecking away!!
Serioslly another cracking video from both of you
Well done you!!
Disappointed with lack of chippie review
Oh Gavin, sorry, this isn't even it, strap yourself in for The Alicja Show - she's home tomorrow and I'll begin the edit then - wonder what I'll find on that SD card! :) Can I just say - the chippie in Pitlochry was amazing and enough food for 2 meals - we were too tired to review, but you're right it would have been a good addition :)
Superb scenery. Excellent video 👍
Cheers!
Another great video Steve. Alicejes playful interactions made it a delight to watch. We have in India a town called Shillong, capital of the North East state of Meghalaya nicknamed the Scotland of the East because of its topography and rolling hills. I know it doesn't even come close to old Alba but that'll have to do for now for a remotely close experience. Looking forward to your next destination, I hope you'll show us the magic of the Isle of Man some time soon. Historical Point of Ayr and the Chasms should be a visual spectacle through your camera. I hope you will switch to 4K vids sooner rather than later. Cheers.
Thank you! Oh I'd love to visit there, especially with my channel being about Scotland, that would be so interesting to see. Isle of Man still high on the list, awaiting good weather :) 4K definitely on the cards, but I need to do some tests/upgrades, as my old computer struggles even with 1080p! Maybe I'll try a wee short video as an experiment
We went to the Hermitage in 2018 and saw salmon leaping the falls -- an awesome sight!
Now THAT would have been great to see!
Love it Steve! Maybe you'll be showing us the sights and sounds of Poland one day soon?
Alicja's trip back home in the timeline and being edited as we speak ;)
You didn't put the kayak in that river? Wusses! :P
Growing up in Perth, the Hermitage was (and still is) one of my favourite places. Worth going in salmon season to see them try and leap those falls; looking over that bridge, you'll see them resting in the pools underneath before having another crack at it. As for that coin log thing, I can't believe some enterprising Scotsman hasn't burned it to get all the money out :)
Killiecrankie, I remember mainly for the Little Chef (RIP), where my Great-Grandad (RIP) and little brother convinced the staff to bring them ice-cream and chips. Got in trouble off my mum once for shouting, "Look, they have a Grand Prix game!" I was 6, how was I supposed to know the pronunciation was French?!
And my grandad used to refer to coach tours as "tins of wrinklies" :D
"You didn't put the kayak in that river? Wusses! "
They "rate" rapids 1 to 6 with "6" considered to be "unrunnable".Waterfalls rate as 7, 8, 9,...
@@abrahamdozer6273 You didn't think I was serious, I hope.
Haha fantastic comment :D Love it mate!
@@6yjjk Haven't you heard of those famous Kamikaze Scots paddlers?
Well visited, Steve. And next time divert to the Pass of Lyon (the entrance to Glenlyon) for one of the finest views on Earth at this time of the year, and it has MacGregor's Leap (1565) too (which is of another magnitude and killed the only known would-be imitator in the late 1800's).
Always great to have reasons to return, cheers Alexander! :)
Cracking video Steve a couple of new place we'll need to visit.
Cheers Kenneth, it was way beyond expectations, just lovely!
hi steve i have to agree with kate that video was stunning,,,,, brilliant thanks brian d
Glad you enjoyed it Brian, cheers :)
