Thank-you!! My dad served most of his National Service with the RAF at Edzell in the early 1950s. Aside from stories of drunken shenanigans on nights out in Montrose, he often spoke about a local walk along the river that you accessed through a door in a wall with a shaky bridge across the river. But he has no photographs, so thank-you for bringing his stories to life for me... It looks an incredible walk. Better still - I will show the video to my dad in the coming days. He has dementia. Your Montrose tour video got him talking when I shared that with him last year. I'm really hoping that he will engage as much with this one!! Oh... and Happy Birthday!!
Sebastian - please continue to do everything you can to keep your father engaged and involved as we did the same for my father who was a WW2 veteran. Thank him for his service from me from across The Pond. Mstrdiver -- US Army - 1973 to 1995
Happy Birthday Steve! U.S. Navy retiree stationed at Edzell 1974-77. We lived in a flat in Kinnaird Castle Brechin then on Christies Lane in Montrose before moving "onbase" to Perry road. BTW streets there are still named after US Naval admirals, Forrestal, Halsey, Perry. We had ONE RAF officer on base as "The Queen's landlord" and a few hundred American sailors, spouses and kids. When we arrived in Scotland we walked the cable bridge from Panmure Arms Hotel Edzell to the base before we got a car. Thanks for the tour and bringing back fond memories of Scotland and the wonderful people of Scotland that made us yanks feel so welcome.
You NEVER need to apologize - I think we all enjoy tagging along no matter what you find on your adventure! You two are such a joy to watch 😊 Happy Birthday!!! 🎉
Happy Birthday young man! Today I took the time to read all the information you get if you click ...more. I have to say that I'm very impressed with your stand on advertising and sponsorship. It gives you even more credibility, which isn't always the case with TH-camrs. Your commitment to a weekly post every Saturday gives us, the viewers, a degree of anticipation because we know it's going to be there, whatever else happens, around 10am every Saturday. Unlike many TH-camrs, however, you haven't sacrificed quality for quantity and meeting a self imposed schedule. As you say, not every episode can be an intrepid adventure, but you've carved yourself a niche that works for you, and for us. Thank you and long may it continue.
Really appreciate this. Yeah, it's very easy to go for every penny you can get, but I prefer to keep the balance right and give the best viewing experience. Thank you
What a glorious piece of countryside and made all the better with the effervescent Alicja! How long has she been over here - her English is impeccable! Great birthday treat for us as well.
@@steve-marsh- Steve, just an observation from an angler's viewpoint, look just past Ms. Alicja's right side @ 14:26 and I believe you'll observe a fish channel carved into the river left, as viewed when coming downstream. I believe it would be used by salmon or trout to re-access their spawning grounds upstream. As for your earlier observation about the river's dark water, it indicated to me that the water was slower and deeper there, so my immediate thought if I had the fishing rights there, would be to run my lure or live bait through that area for lurking larger fish. This river walk, while not fast-paced, is to me a magical exploration for fishing possibilities and new experiences just around the corners for my camera to record. Thank you both very much for bringing me along as I truly loved today's adventure Mr. Birthday Boy. Congrats and many happy returns.
I realised that as a grown up the there are no rules regarding meals. If you fancy an ice cream before dinner you can. I decided this standing outside the best ice-cream shop in North Wales at Beddgelert. Did not spoil my dinner! 😂
Captivating video! Hi from the middle of the USA, St. Louis. I'm another Yank who was stationed at RAF Edzell. We explored the Blue Door and Shakin' Bridge often, and it was fabulous! I lived in Inchbare at Rose Cottage. Virtually all of us who were lucky enough to spend time in that area absolutely fell in love with Scotland. Thanks for sharing! Next time go to the Edzell Castle.
I’ve lived in France for the past 22 years but I spent all my childhood in Brechin and Kirriemuir so you have brought back many fond memories THANK YOU 💙🏴💙. Roberta, a school chum from Brechin High married a USAF guy and moved to Virginia ~ we are still in touch and last met up at the Strathmore Arms in Glamis in 2009!
Happy Birthday 🎂. My eyes were drawn to the rocks . Once a geologist, always a geologist. Those red rocks - sandstones laid down between 408 and 393 million years ago. All tilted from their original horizontal position. And the swim ( once a swimmer , always a swimmer) . Ive been crocked for a year now. I mean practically housebound. Lovely therefore, to be taken to the two things I love the best. Thanks
I had asked in my post what those rocks were. Thanks for the answer, Lynn! I took an intro to geology in college, to satisfy my science requirement. 👍🏼 So much to learn!
Montrose born and lived here all my life..I have done the Blue door walk many times, its one of my favourites..As a child I have lovely memories of picnics down by the river near the shakky brig, then took my old children and now my grandchildren. I love watching your videos as I see places I have known all my life through different eyes.
Greetings from Germany and a belated happy birthday, Steve! Almost exactly 20 years ago, I moved to Scotland for a year to work as a foreign language assistant for Angus Council. I worked at Ferryden Primary and Montrose Academy among others. What a fantastic time that was. And one of my favourite places to visit was Glen Esk, all the way up to Loch Lee. Who knows, maybe our paths even crossed back then... Really enjoy your videos. Lots of travel inspiration for me! All the best to you!
Inspired by your trips and videos we have just returned from our holiday. Flew to Tallin (Estonia) day ferry to Helsinki (Finland). Flix bus to Riga (Latvia), train to Jurmala (Latvia). Flew to Gdansk (Poland) and then a train to Warsaw, finally flew back to Gatwick. Thanks for all the tips.
A very very belated happy birthday Steve. You both absolutely deserved those chips. Well done for sorting the rubbish. I’ll never understand why some humans are so despicably lazy.
Happy Birthday!! Thank you so much for a jaunt through Edzell and a walk along the Blue Door trail. Brought back so many memories. I was stationed at the base there for 3.5 years and loved every minute of it.
Happy Birthday Steve (very belated I know) Thankyou for sharing your birthday adventure with us. That was a treat for me as my b'day was on the 2nd and I didnt get to go anywhere. It just goes to show that sometimes a simple idea can turn into a wonderful adventure, with fish n chips to boot!
your videos are always a treat, especially because you show us where you go, which is the POINT of going. Some youtubers make fabulous trips but only show airport, lounges and inside of planes, with rarely a glimpse of destinations. When Alicia is along that adds an extra dimension of joy a delight.
happy belated birthday, steve. what your viewers admire about you is the fact that you are real. i find many youtube travel videos unwatchable because of the fake personalities, the edgy editing, the loud music and the special effects. you are down to earth and take delight in the simple pleasures of life.
Belated Birthday greetings Steve - N Esk v popular for White Water paddlers. I celebrated my 70th there with a Blue door walk to the Falls of Solitude with a few friends. Last paddled the Fish Ladder Falls in my sixties - thrilling when the river was running a few feet higher!
Love all your videos. Reminds me of some of the "walks" we did as kids growing up in the uk. From an old Geordie born before the war now living "the good life" in Tucson!! Ah, the simple things in life are always the best! They
My brother lives in Edzell, just opposite the woods. The butcher makes the best black pudding, BTW. Alicja is a blimmin star, I love her fearlessness. Belated happy birthday, Steve.
I've said it before (and it's still a compliment): Steve punching well above his weight with Alicja 😂 Happy birthday to Steve and best wishes to both of you
Happy Belated Birthday, Steve! I was very fortunate to have been stationed at RAF Edzell from May 1972 through December 1978 with the US Navy (not the Air Force) and we lived in Brechin. During that time I did a lot of exploring the countryside, in fact the whole of the UK. One day a photography friend and I grabbed our cameras and many rolls of film (yes, Old School) and walked the North Esk along the same path you took. I must say you had a much prettier companion than I had on my trek! We walked in the river, alongside the gorge, crossed sides several times, and ended up in the flat farmlands far to the North. I definitely remember my feet and legs being freezing cold, especially walking so many miles with wet trainers. Interesting side note - the little footbridge you crossed at about the 15:40 mark - I was down at the river's edge and took a photo of a man walking his dog across the bridge and that turned out to be my favorite photo of the day. Unfortunately I can't share it here... Scotland is such a beautiful country, wonderful people, and the best liquid refreshment in the World! My wife and I plan to visit sometime in the next year or two and will likely include a walk in and around Edzell. Thanks for the memories!
Just found your channel and it brings back a lot of memories. I was a yank living in St. Cyrus in the early 90s. My landlord was the town doctor in Montrose and the cottage I lived in is apparently a vacation rental now. I have to go back and binge on your other videos now.
I spent much of my childhood picnics at the shaky bridge and did the same with my own children. In the early 80’s it was closed due to state of repair and the 45 commando group took it on themselves to restore it, which they did, restringing all the cables etc. I remember them working on it. We used to walk up the near side approx a mile to the road crossing bridge then walk back on the opposite bank and finish across the shaky bridge. I have never seen the water as low as seen on your video. Great memories Steve, thank you.
Age is just a number Steve. Doesn't matter how old you are or older you are than your partner...it's how you feel and live your life. You look like you enjoyed the day.
Hi Steve. You speaking about Root Beer at RAF Edzell brought back memories of playing basketball there for Montrose Academy in the seventies. We played against the children of the service personnel and they were very good! They had a full size court and an electronic scoreboard complete with sound effects! After the games we got treated to loads of American food and of course root beer. I am fairly sure there was a ten pin bowling alley there too? My Uncle was stationed at Edzell with the US Navy in the sixties and he met my Auntie who stayed in Montrose. They stay in Ohio now. Thanks for another great video.
Steve and Alicia - Thank you so much for showing Edzell and the River Esk. The video reminds me of the low water crossing of the Paluxy River in Glen Rose, Texas. Further up the Paluxy are the famous dinosaur tracks.
Miss Scotland so much. It's the first place I travelled to, when I turned 18, many years ago. Worked a summer job in Forfar. Went back only once. I hope to return some day, just seat somewhere and soak in the atmosphere, people watch and so on. It stayed in my heart, always
Brilliant video Steve. That was a nice walk along the river, albeit it would not be good for me. Well done in getting across. The fish and chips looked good. Well done to you both.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your birthday adventure. I kind of did the same for my birthday this year (back in July) and ended up going to Ireland so I could walk The Gobbins. An incredible journey I took because I watched your video. Keep up the good work.
What a nice wee place and walk. If the foods good then I'm surprised it wasn't really busy. Maybe it's one of those hidden gems about to be discovered.
Another cracking video Steve! After RAF Edzell closed it's doors, it had many uses. Currently an agricultural storage (Or last I heard!)... The last time I was there was when it was being used at weekends as a 1/4 mile drag strip, but that was near 20 years ago (back when I was a 'boy racer'!) Also... How in the name of the wee man can anyone living in Angus not know about the Blue Door?!?! 🤣
Absolutely brilliant Steve and Alicia. Wow what a fantastic place to visit and walk along the river. I must get there someday to photograph it. The fish and chips looked good. Happy Birthday mate. Atb Tim.
This was one of my favourite videos. The river and the old tower reminded me of scenes out of a Tolkien movie. Thank you so much and a belated happy birthday.
I love Scotland and though I've been there once and could do only the touristy things your videos make me feel as if I'm going with you in all these remote corners of your beautiful country. Happy birthday Steve. Best wishes from Calcutta, India.
Very happy birthday Steve. Another wonderful video with Alicja. Not only are you guys very entertaining, informative and humorous but you do your bit tidying up the environment.
Happy birthday Steve! Looks like you had a great day. I remember Edzell from the early 1980`s when I used to call in there when I was a Sales Rep. I remember they had built new buildings inside the old hangars and they had a great shop in which you could buy almost anything - and all from the States. There was a lovely English woman who ran the shop and she and I used to swap items so I could take home American sweets for the kids. I had to look on Wikipedia to get the update on what happened over the years. Thanks for the memories!
Happy Birthday Steve . Lovely to see you exploring that area with Alicia . I nearly moved to Edzell about 20 years ago but circumstances prevented it . Best wishes
What a gorgeous walk! Loved every bit of it. I’ll admit there were tears in my eyes, it was so beautiful. And the ‘fox, chicken & grain’ river crossing looked awesome fun. Happy belated Birthday, Steve. Thanks for sharing it.
Great video. I really like when you explore around Angus because it reminds me of all my summer holidays as a kid visiting my grandparents and great Aunt in Brechin.
Brilliant video. Belated happy birthday. 🥳 That exposed river bed looks just the sort of place that dinosaur footprints could be eroded into existence. 🤯
Thank-you!! My dad served most of his National Service with the RAF at Edzell in the early 1950s.

As always, thanks Steve. The water crossing segment. The age old saying comes to mind. " It's alright once you're in." Not always the case.😮

Happy Birthday Steve. Love your videos, they take me home everytime.🎉❤
When they re-open again, Edzell Castle and gardens are well worth a visit. Enjoyed seeing the two of you on your birthday walk. Thanks for sharing.
I love Scotland and though I've been there once and could do only the touristy things your videos make me feel as if I'm going with you in all these remote corners of your beautiful country. Happy birthday Steve. Best wishes from Calcutta, India.
Very happy birthday Steve. Another wonderful video with Alicja. Not only are you guys very entertaining, informative and humorous but you do your bit tidying up the environment.
Happy birthday Steve! Looks like you had a great day. I remember Edzell from the early 1980`s when I used to call in there when I was a Sales Rep. I remember they had built new buildings inside the old hangars and they had a great shop in which you could buy almost anything - and all from the States. There was a lovely English woman who ran the shop and she and I used to swap items so I could take home American sweets for the kids. I had to look on Wikipedia to get the update on what happened over the years. Thanks for the memories!
Happy Birthday Steve hope you had a great Birthday please keep up the good Videos. Regards from James Whyte.
Happy Birthday Steve . Lovely to see you exploring that area with Alicia . I nearly moved to Edzell about 20 years ago but circumstances prevented it . Best wishes
What a gorgeous walk! Loved every bit of it. I’ll admit there were tears in my eyes, it was so beautiful. And the ‘fox, chicken & grain’ river crossing looked awesome fun. Happy belated Birthday, Steve. Thanks for sharing it.
Great video. I really like when you explore around Angus because it reminds me of all my summer holidays as a kid visiting my grandparents and great Aunt in Brechin.
Happy birthday Steve. What a beautiful village that is, typically Scottish buildings.
Brilliant video. Belated happy birthday. 🥳
That exposed river bed looks just the sort of place that dinosaur footprints could be eroded into existence. 🤯
