Many highlandees shun english. ive seen it and heard it. But also non highlander born scots like myself also get shunned by highlanders.
      Up in the highlands many english move here and the ones i know actually only socialise with other english. Ive seen this on other countrirs too english only socislisong with english.

I'm sure some were cussing us if they were stuck behind our van driving down narrow lanes , It's human nature . We did pull over to allow other drivers to pass and mostly thanked .

      Hi, we respect your opinion but we don't agree about the clickbait comment. This was a real comment on a real trip to Scotland. The title is a question not a statement of fact that gave us the scope to discuss this particular comment. People read the comments left on our videos when considering if they should visit a place. Unfortunately, comments like the one left can put someone off going to a place for good. We don't delete comments and we wanted to show everyone that Scotland is a very welcoming place full of amazing people and scenery and the few negative comments we get are not representative of the overall experience that we have had. That was the aim and we hope that the message was clearly conveyed during the video. Thank you for watching.

      It just takes one grain of yeast to ferment and ruin everyone's reputation. The SNP has done a good job at polarising this lovely country where I have lived these past 2 decades. I was a child in the 50's in South Africa when what was to become the Apartheid Government began firstly targeting English-speaking South Africans with the same rhetoric. All the slurs used by them I now hear being used here in Scotland in my retired years. Talk about Dejavu Ms. Surgeon.

It's now starting the same process as Yorkshire went through, gob shite southerners with loads of money and attitude ruining a beautiful place.

If you are interested in the history of WW2 all the SOE agents did their training at Arisaig house, there used to be a tour but im not sure it's still running, last i saw the house was up for sale. We only use recognised campsites & where ever possible use local shops for groceries and pubs for meals out as a treat, never had any issues. Always pull over for cars & delivery vans again never been an issue and i liked someone elses comment about remembering that Scotland is part of the UK.

That said there has only been 2 of these warriors in 6 years that are anti English and hate motorhomers but that’s the nature of the beast, you’ll always get folk that are jealous or have nothing better to do. Independent site owners and local councils are starting to respond to the demand and embracing motorhomes and campervans by providing the facilities that we all need when touring.

      Hi, thanks for watching our video. We are so pleased that you like our channel. We agree that there are a small minority of people that are disrespectful everywhere. We know that people watch our videos for ideas of where to go and often read the comments for other peoples opinions. We felt that we had to address this in this video and show people thinking of going to Scotland for a motorhome, campervan or van holiday what our experience was in relation to some of the more negative comments we have received. The comment that we mentioned was sent to us a few days in to our trip and we hope that doing this video is a responsible and helpful response to anyone that has seen these types of comments about visiting Scotland. Scotland is an amazing place, full of amazing people.

    If they stopped the vans , campers , motorhomes these people who rely on the NC 500 will suffer terribly without tourism.

Her husband was there to help start up a new Gas plant which was to give employment to the local population and without his knowledge and expertise it just couldn’t happen. There wasn’t anyone in Scotland who could do it! Well done Scotland!

    Friends and I visit Scotland every year (NC500) and wife and I at least twice a year and have never came across any “anti-English” sentiments. Closest I have come to it is when I commented whilst drinking with locals in Oban that :- “Even though I have only been here two days, I can’t help noticing how the TV is full of stuffed shirts from Westminster telling you how it should be”. I was immediately transformed from a Liverpool born Celtic mongrel into an honorary Scot. I am sure there is some bias but it is probably based on what type of English you are?
