    Snow zoomies look like good fun although I was a bit worried when DeNiro disappeared off into the distance!

    Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Again, awesome drone footage. Sorry about one of Daisy’s shrek ears (side mirror) being destroyed. Glad you replaced with a new and improved one. Dang, those AirTags sure do work. Hope DeNiro is all better.

      The AirTag was a lifesaver!! DeNiro is fine after his prawn cracker medication :)

    I really like Fife. Never been to your town. I do like Dunfermlime. We had some friends who lived above a chippy there. It’s where I got my first taste of haggis.

      Methil isn’t really on the visitor agenda usually, but when it’s up against places like Dunfermline and St Andrews that’s probably not hard to explain :)

    I'm happy to see archaeology anytime, anywhere, especially if you can say a little bit about it. I'm glad you looked up info about the sites in Crete. That Roman fountain was quite pretty.
    Aww, DeNiro in the snow is too cute. How often do you get snow?

    • @scotlandonashoestring

      We’ve been a bit hit and miss with snow the last couple of years. We usually only get a couple of decent dumps a year.

    Lots of history in one video! The churches here in Cyprus also have red roofs (as you probably know) and the grave stones have photos on them. Here too they bury family on top of each other if possible.
    Awww DeNiro in the snow! Bless him 🐾🥰

    Watching in Canada - I got all excited when you said you were going to the cemetery and then I realized my grandparents are actually in Scoonie Cemetery in Leven, and not it Methil (odd as they lived in Methil). Now I have to go looking for where in Methil they lived.

    I am 62 and come from Methilhill I spent a lot of time at my Grandparents in Lower Methil.There was still 13 docks at the time and we loved exploring the old warehouses. I liked your video but you never mentioned East Fife or the old and new Bayview. You could’ve added a lot more mate.

    Did you swap over the outside temperature sensor, it's needed for the dpf regeneration to work.

    You lament that Methil is not a place of beauty. On the other side of the coin, places of beauty and interest also have loads of traffic and tourist, and you are free from those things.

    8:39 My highschool German is too rusty. First line might be: Here lies(rests) in God. Google Translate for the rest: "HERMANN BRASSEIT A GERMAN SAILOR
    FD. F. D. KONCSBERO
    + 30 XII.1927 IN (Methil)
    BE FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF ETERNAL LIFE." I'll leave in Google's shouting of the translation.
