    Freeze the video at 2:15 and look across the river at the house (and its windows on the 1st floor) immediately behind Zac's left hip.
    That house is my grandparents old house, which was theirs for the first 23 years of my life.
    I was born and raised in England but my mother was a Highlander and raised in Inverness. So, we'd come north to Inverness once or twice each year and stay for a couple of weeks with my grandparents in that very house.
    I have lived overseas for over 45 years now but I have so many very happy memories of that house - and of the Ness Islands, which latter I would frequent during our family visits to Island Bank Road in Inverness.

    I live in Inverness whilst I'll say it's great for sightseeing and tourism, it's a boring and incredibly expensive place to live because it's all restaurants that seem to change every week and expensive gift shops. Prices are all hiked up because of tourism and public transport can sometimes be a nightmare for locals, especially at the height of the season. Especially when the Belladrum music festival rolls around, something you may want to check out.

    A lot of the activities are now on the outskirts of the town, and you have to know how to find them. The Multiplex Cinema, Theatre, bowling, floral exotic garden. all that kind of stuff. We have a small museum. The town (I never call it a c--y), has extremes of beauty and ugliness in equal measure. Much was destroyed and replaced with concrete boxes. The Ness Islands are to be treasured on a Summer's day.. as are walks and cruises along the canal.

    Hi! I’ve been enjoying your travel videos. May I ask … you mentioned you and your partner have been traveling full time since 2018. How do you fund your travels? Savings? Asking as someone who may want to do long-term travel in the future. Thanks

    • @worldwildhearts
      @worldwildhearts  Рік тому

      Hi! Thanks! We used to live and work in Canada for a few years. So back then travel was more living and exploring in Canada. We left our apartment at the end of 2020 and since then we’ve been travelling around more. We were both working remotely since that time, doing web design and graphic design. Now we focus only on our channel. So we never had to use our savings and mostly travelled while making money. But we also travel a lot slower because of that…

    Love your videos! Very informative! Just had a question about filming with a drone. We filmed in Ireland in 2019 when we visited. Were you able to film pretty much anywhere in Scotland? Did you ask for permission? Just want to make sure I do everything right when we visit. Thanks so much.

    • @worldwildhearts

      Thanks for watching! You can book a tour from Inverness to the Isle of Skye, which is easiest. You can also travel by public transportation, like there's a bus that goes from Inverness to Portree and takes about 3 hours.

    Going to Scotland end of March and was wondering for the drone did you guys need any specific licenses or just flew it on your own without anything?

    • @worldwildhearts
      @worldwildhearts  Рік тому +1

      Yeah you need to have completed the CAA Drone Registration to be able to fly in Scotland. This entails taking an online safety test and registering your drone. This gives you an operator ID and a flyer ID. The police can check whether you have this! We also have drone insurance but I don’t think you need that for Scotland
