13.03 The Kelpies 😁 Next time get on a train in Edinburgh, get off at Linlithgow & visit the Palace. Get back on the train & visit Stirling Castle & Wallace Monument. Go back across the Forth & visit some of the Fife beaches & harbours - excellent fish & chips in Anstruther. About an hour south of Edinburgh is New Lanark, a UNESCO world heritage site. Edinburgh is an easy city to be a tourist in because it's all right in front of you as you leave the station - Old Town & New Town, the dodgy bits are all on the outskirts and some have already undergone gentrification - Leith in particular. Glasgow is harder, you have to go looking for a lot of the history & galleries, it's more spread out - the dodgy bits are a bit more intermingled, which just makes it a bit more real but still well worth visiting.
Scotland....Best country on the planet. From an EDIN .born in the Capital,live in the capital and love all o' my country east west north and south. Alba gu Bragh !!
I lived in Edinburgh for four years and didn't see everything. It would take a lifetime to see everything in Scotland - there are 1,500+ castles! The Isle of Coll is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Great video and so pleased you enjoyed our beautiful country. Cairngorms National Park is also another stunning place to visit in the Scottish Highlands 🏴💪🙏😇
Thank you for the positive review of my country 🏴 I enjoyed your whole coverage, and video-editing. Normally any video with drums and repetitive beats, gets dumped in two seconds. But your way-of-doing was pleasant and calming throughout. Also, your videoing was excellent, and really showed the subjects up well, so please keep up the good work 💦💦💦💦💦 Ooops, have to go, it’s raining again, cheers.
I could fill a whole page of places you should visit in Scotland! I was born in Edinburgh 72 years ago, I now live in the new town (Livingston) I have done the west highland way, the Caledonian canal, drove on the 500 way back in the 80s before it came famous! I have done island hoping and much much more! Yeah we don't always have the weather - But if you wear the right clothes, then there is no problem! Just the midges and the clegs you got to be aware of when way up north! I am a pensioner and even I have not seen every loch and mountain! Scotland is small on any map - Yet some visitors think they can see the whole of Scotland in a few days? Anyway - So glad you loved our country and yes - to me and many others - Scotland is the best country to live in - We will never be short of water and whisky lol! Haste ye back!
Hi to you both John from Glasgow to people not born in Scotland seeing all the historic buildings must be like stepping back in time whereas for us we walk by them on a daily basis . Hope you will come back again and again there over 1500 castles throughout Scotland I'm sure you'll enjoy exploring all the best to you both .
The Mull of Kintyre, Islay & Jura, Isle of Arran, Oban, The Rest and be Thankful, Fort William, Ben Nevis, Isle of Mull, St Andrews, Anstruther(Fish & Chips are BRAW!!), Isle of Skye, Loch Lomond, Falls of Dochart, The Trossachs, Aberdeen, Stirling Castle & Wallace Monument, The River Tay, Orkney & Shetland... I've probably even missed a few brilliant places... But if you can attend a Shinty Game when you're here next you won't regret it!! The locals all come out in their droves and its always a great altmosphere. Keep up the great videos guys!
Thanks for visiting my lovely Country, glad you enjoyed it. Edinburgh is a mixture of old and new city with some excellent places to visit. It's also the financial capital of Scotland with a lot of wealth in the City. Glasgow is Scotland's largest City, it's also a working class City and has the most welcoming and friendly people. Glasgow has been modernised over the last few Decades to become the metropolitan City it is today. On your next visit i'd highly recomend going to Shetland either by flying via Plane or taking the Ferry via Aberdeen, though the Ferry is a 12 hour journey across the North Sea...and wrap up warm lol. Cheers.
Mika, Neal, please go to Eilen Donan Castle, Isles of Skye, Islay, Mull, Harris. Town of Oban, white sands of Morar, Loch Shiel boat trip and Corrievrekan.Just some of may to see.
So glad you enjoyed our beautiful Scotland. Really hope you visit again. So many castles for you still to see and you only saw a glimpse of the stunning Highlands 😁😎
Just happened to come across your vlog by a stroke of luck absolutely love your passion for everything you did in Scotland and so happy you got to go to Glasgow the best city in Britain you never even scratched the surface so much more to do & see than in Edinburgh so hopefully the next time you come over you’ll base yourselves in Glasgow and go to Loch Lomond & the trossachs and up the west coast to Oban and over to places like the Isle of Skye which has some outstanding scenery i would also recommend a visit to Stirling which also has an amazing castle and is where the famous battle of Stirling Bridge against the English happened. I would like to congratulate you both on your pronunciation of Glasgow , Edinburgh , Loch Ness & the Highlands not a single hint of an americanism in anything you said really impressive lol . All joking aside i really enjoyed your vlog hope to see you both back in our wonderful country very soon take care and keep smiling 😜👍🏻🙏🏻
You made Mika cry with happiness from this comment! We do our VERY best to not sound American 😂 Thank you so much for the advice and kind words! We can't to go back!
"so happy you got to go to Glasgow the best city in Britain you never even scratched the surface so much more to do & see than in Edinburgh" - Ha ha ha! You MUSt be a Weegie, because nobody with a working brain would ever make such ridiculous claims.😜 You do know why they say that there's more fun at a Glasgow funeral than an Edinburgh wedding? It's because the funeral goers are celebrating that one o'er their ain has finally got oot o' that cesspit!😉
And whats great about Glasgow ? i stayed there one time and not the friendly city you lot tend to act up as it is not that just bunch wee bigots many are who spout about religion and Celtic and Rangers and some young guys ive witnessed fighting with their dads and bloody little cheeky faces running out from tennements not a good view and one toursits dont see as in schemes outer of city centre and Edinburgh can be just the same on some of outer housing areas of their city junkies abound Wsterhailes Niddrie Drylaw Pilton but Edinburgh has history and capital rightly so ..Glasgow with Springburn , Easterhouse , Ruchazie, Garthamlock , And Carntyne to name just some of them areas within Glasgow lol .. is song about there Billy Connolly comedian bloke sang about the dog with a bottle eh wine went to mow a meadow lol ..Maryhill , Pollockshields Glasgow is an industrial city from the past within jobs all closures for years now ..just an eye sore in many parts tourists dont see as they tend stay within city centres areas.. As for characters Glasgow had characters many decades ago all have passed away a long time ago now No more comic singers in Glasgow today to get a laugh at as no more Rab C Nesbitts... Barras market also cut right down to much smaller market size and used to get Rab Cs there one time way back over 25 yrs ago its all quiet today and not near as busy as yrs gone past . Glasgow is a city in Scotland which takes in all the refugees the ones sent to Scotland normally sent to Glasgow to stay within the poorer areas Just some facts re - Glasgow for the tourists .
@@travelunflitered The other car trip that visitors miss is the South West Coast drive (Glasgow,Greenock,Largs,Ayr,Stranraer,Carlisle). Put it this way,Donald Trump loved it so much he bought the golf course,"Turnberry" on this route!
Hi guys really enjoyed the video and well done on your pronunciations, they were spot on. When you come back you have to visit Edinburgh during the festivals during August, the city is out of this world at this time of the year. Thanks 🏴🏴
IRONICALLY YOU MISSED MANY PLACES IN THE NORTH WEST HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS, IT'S 6 HOURS FROM EDINBURGH, PROBABLY BETTER GOING BY TRAIN VIA GLASGOW TO MALLAIG, YOUR GOING TO LOVE THE SCENERY, SUNNY DAYS IN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, OR APRIL, MAY IS THE BEST TIMES TO GO AS IS VERY PEACEFUL ALSO, THE UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER IS ALL THE YEAR ROUND IN SCOTLAND ANYWAY 🏴
Great video guys you seem like fantastic people that appreciate all Edinburgh has to offer. Apart from the weather!!!! Edinburgh born and bred I sometimes forget what a great place it is to live
You might like to consider visiting Dunnottar Castle, it is next to Stonehaven, about 20 miles South of the city of Aberdeen. Aberdeen is worth visiting itself. Thank you for sharing.
William Wallace invaded castle, the Scottish favours (Scottish Crown Jewels) were hidden there for many years, before being smuggled away to safety. Mary Queen of Scot’s is said to have visited there. Just a few (hopefully) interesting facts about the castle.
Growing subscribers is VERY hard lol we are a relatively new travel channel and it’s like pulling teeth haha. Loved your video and we are actually heading to Edinburgh fairly soon and this video made us even more excited to visit!
Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood House are quite expensive to visit, but most of the museums and galleries are free so they balance each other out. Enjoy your visit!!!
Very enjoyable and thank you for appreciating our country i still discovering it myself last week from.dundee city i took double decker bus too blairgowrie perthshire honestly the views as last stages of angus region before hitting perthshire through mountain scenery lush green fields not afraid too say put a tear too my eye the beauty yes very varied country in scenery but its All beautiful haste ye back thank you just subbed great video thanks
3:20 George Heriot's School - a private school founded in 1628. Adjacent to Greyfriars' Church, its pupils are grouped into four houses... 20:05 Glasgow is a much more recent city than Edinburgh - it grew rapidly with the Industrial Revolution. As a result there are fewer very old buildings but those from the 19th and 20th centuries are numerous and fine. The warmth of your reception reflects your own willingness to take people as you find them and to try and fit in.
Really easy to make friends here in Scotland. I stay in Inverness and even if I don’t know anyone at the places I go. Within a few minutes we are all blethering (talking) together and having a laugh I’d chat with you no problem as would anyone I know. Glad you like the best wee country in the world
Hi folks Im from Scotland here and Edinburgh is one of best looking citys in Europe ..As for Amsterdam been there 3 x times and similar type buildings but all round Edinburgh was nicer and been there so many times as stayed not so far away all my life and Old Town is very nice as well as the Grassmarket and you shall have liked much i think the Scottish shops around the city and with many on Royal Mile also known as the High street in Edinburgh and The Athens of the North as some call it also up on hilly part is Calton Hill nice also for pics And meant to say Greyfriars Bobby statue just off the Royal Mile in Chambers street think it comes under ? And the graveyard in Greyfriars churchyard has graves within of dogs and old mans John Gray ..Anyhow only thing about Edinburgh and Scotland as a whole is it can be hilly and with many of the cobble stones to walk . As for the Netherlands its all on the flat which makes it easier if on foot or cycling which is big there u shall fins and Amsterdam i used as a base to explore other also parts of the Netherlands as main railway station was handy for that in " Centraal Station " to get a train to other parts i went to Haarlem with the square being nice and Leiden < A university type town also nice visit and Volendam a fishing town was also fun to visit ..but are so many others its your choice As for again in Scotland the Isle of Skye also nice part to go and you can go the Highland Way route and head up also for to view Fort William where the highest Mpuntain in UK sits being " Ben Nevis " and places to visit for to take pics etc .. another nice part in Scotland is Ullapool and Oban etc Enjoy yer travels folks .
I am disabled so even if I had the money I couldn’t do all the walking . I live in Ohio but have 41 percent Scottish ancestry . Thank you for showing me the sites 💗
I want to compliment your video....what you filmed was very nicely done....however, you really should narrate throughout your video, telling your viewers what they're looking out. You may end up losing viewers because of it. I have been to Scotland, so I knew what I was seeing, but someone who hasn't would be lost.
Welcome back anytime! Next time include a night at Redpoint Beach to watch the sunset with Boards of Canada as the soundtrack. Then head up the coastal roads towards Cape Wrath, stunning. Agree with visiting Harris \ Lewis as well.
Research the true hidden gems of each counrty you go to , because it is a visit not a journey. I understand finance is an issue and time is tight, and that is why rearch is key.
Having been born and brought in Glasgow, the reason why you feel that way is because a lot of our old buildings were pulled to the ground, which you can 'thank' our idiotic council for doing. A shining example of that was the old Argylle hotel that sat at St. Enoch and was replaced by the 'St. Enoch shopping centre', which is soon to be raised to the ground. There's a lot to see of Scotland, you only have to look up Castle Campbell, although it's apparently currently not open at the moment, the views from high up are spectacular; then there is Dunrobin Castle way up north, as well as Culzean Castle that is farther to the South. There's the famous Burns Cottage, which was where the famous bard, Robert Burns, was born and raised, it has the museum, the famous church and 'Brig O' Doon' that he wrote 'Tam O' Shanter' on. There's even farther south his Mausoleum where he is laid to rest, his old house. If you're someone that takes interest to the Viking history correlative to the invasions in Scotland, Largs apparently has a museum and the history about the Battle of Largs, as well as in the Shetland they hold festivals each year where you see them burn the torches and put on a big display. Also keep note, at the current moment they will be building or have planned to build a Pictish Broch, which is an ancient Pictish stone settlement, they're going to be using the original building technique to build for the first time since one of those massive brochs way up north: • www.thebrochproject.co.uk/other-projects • www.visitorsguidetoscotland.com/2022/01/replica-scottish-broch/ How far they've got with that, I've no idea, but that for certain is something that should excite tourists as that is something that would enable you to see inside something that goes back to the iron age. All that being said, it's wonderful to see you's enjoyed yourselves here in Scotland. You's are always more than welcome.
Edinburgh is undoubtedly very pretty, Glasgow is better for shopping, it has am underground train system too that is very easy, it’s just circular, outer ring & inner ring, go to the west end of Glasgow, it’s very trendy with lots of interesting bars & resturaunts, go to some whisky bars & do a whisky tasting, there’s great nightlife in Glasgow, we have the OVO HYDRO, 14,000 capacity where all the big musicians perform, my favourite pub is in the city centre, The Pot Still with over 700 whiskies with very knowledgable bar staff, in Glasgow you have to do more research to find out what there is to do, Edinburgh is very obvious, you just need to walk around looking at stuff, you can take a bus from Glasgow to Loch Lomond for the day, it’s a very short journey but so nice there, don’t dismiss Glasgow as it has tons to offer, it just takes more effort from you
I used to cycle to Loch Lomond (Balloch) from Glasgow. There is a cycle path that you can pick up from the SECC/OVO, I think it is the National Cycle Route 7. You can then get the train back to Queen Street.
@@travelunflitered my American friends love Glasgow for it’s vibrant nightlife and hustle and bustle and the very friendly people, it has a totally different vibe than Edinburgh and not as touristy but still has tons to offer, Kelvingrove art gallery, Riverside transport museum, both free admission as are all museums
Your comment of a wet dream was fun but you need to know that it means somthing els here in Scotland so find out more abought your comment you will be surprised if not shocked glad you both had a great time in wonderfull Scotland and support us in our quest for independence and thank yous for your visit come back soon 😊😊😊😊😊
Im from the Highlands and when you get a good you cant beat the place, now adays I live in the middle east but I love all these videos of people going to scotland on holiday - makes me think I should get back home and visit more. Thank you for the video.
Haste ye back guys. Like everywhere we go, if we're only there for a short while we tend to do the standout attractions. Speak to a local and you might find that wee nugget that isn't in the guide book. Not sure if it interests you but my "wee nuggets" for Edinburgh would be any "below ground tours", The Chocolatarium, , Gladstones Land, Afternoon tea at the Colonnades, Surgeons Hall tour, The Dean Village and many more.
Come across your videos as like to see peoples views on places they visit. Pleased you liked Scotland so much, and so refreshing to see a lovely young couple doing this kind of thing. If returning you need to spend more time experiencing the Highlands and islands. Especially the west coast Oban, fort Augustus , inverness and of course not forgetting the Isles of Arran, Mull and Skye.... plenty so see and do, a must if you like sea food, and if you like your whiskey a never ending supply of distilleries. Good luck with future travels, I will enjoy watching the rest of your video's. 🏴
Ive lived in Scotland all my life so my view of it is honest. Stunning scenery, average weather and if like me you live in central Scotland, its full of religious bigots.
Come 30 miles south from Edinburgh and you're in the Tweed Valley, the epicentre of mountain biking in the south of Scotland. Plus hiking, fishing and beautiful scenery.
Glad you enjoyed Scotland. 😊 Having worked in the Holiday Accommodation business in this beautiful country for several years I have seen the habits of tourists/visitors when they come here and am always baffled by this urgency that many people have to tick the boxes and whizz around hoping to see everything. .... If I could offer some simple advice to people reading these comments I would say, don’t try to do everything. Scotland is bigger than people think and not the easiest place to get around. I appreciate that for many this might be a once in a lifetime holiday, but if you can, aim at staying in one or two places and explore out from there. Allow this land to absorb into you, and let its magic work on you. Maybe I’m just getting older and can’t take a frantic pace anymore but the idea of whizzing up from Glasgow to Inveraray (a two hour car journey), and then spending a short time in what is essentially a tourist trap before ignoring the rest of Argyll to get to Oban to then Sit a on ferry for ages so you can tick off some Hebridean islands, is not my idea of fun. .... But each to their own. I guess what I’m attempting to say in my long winded way is take your time and enjoy your holiday. Scotland is magical, and outside of the cities it is peaceful too.....Allow it to embrace you. Thanks for the video guys 😊🙏
@@travelunfliteredI’d second that, there’s so much more to our beautiful country. The west coast is even more beautiful than the east. Oban area is a good base for exploring some of the islands, (like Iona, Staffa), Glencoe, Kilmartin Glen (if you’re interested in pre historic monuments), Corryvreckan Whirlpool, Ben Nevis etc or go further north to the Isle of Skye and the surrounding areas up there.
can i tell you what put me off on this video....the background music, it was really making me cringe, apart from that it would have been a great video, its nice to see as a Scotsman how other people see my homeland, i honestly think to just hear the natural noises in the background other than the music would be cool :)
Your really deluded i have been in a lot of countries and my best country for the people and the beautiful land and sea is Thailand which i now live in. Scotland is miles behind it.
All these gushes and luvvie comments make me spew..pathetic. tell the real story about scotlandstan formerly a beautiful peaceful country called Scotland. RIP
@@travelunflitered you are just spreading utter nonsense , the romantic picture you are trying to paint about our once beautiful, unique Scotland is long gone. Typical clueless Americans
Edinburgh is all fur coat and nae knickers. It looks nice, but that's it, it is all surface. You turn up at someone's door in Edinburgh and they will greet you with "You'll huv had yer tea", meaning don't expect to get fed. Glasgow (and much of the rest of Scotland) is the opposite, it is a bit industrial, gritty and a history of violence but the people are much friendlier because of it, much like Naples in this respect. Glasgow swelled due to the influx of Gaels from the Highlands and Islands and also immigrants from Ireland, Italy and places like Bangladesh and Pakistan, Edinburgh doesn't have this history. In Edinburgh, you are just another tourist, in Glasgow you are someone they haven't bought a drink for, yet. That is probably why JK Rowling was able to write HP in a coffee shop, there was never any chance of someone speaking to her. 🤣
@@duncancallum Just speaking from my own personal experience and those of others. You're not very likely to strike up a conversation with a local in an Edinburgh pub, never mind buy each other rounds.
I totaly get "you'll huv had yer tea" i'm from near Glasgow and had family in Edinburgh and they were so Edinburgh (my uncle was a lawyer and we were once told the Edinburgh Torys woulden't servive without her(shes long beeb now). But when we had to visit and would stop off at a near Chinese take away and we would eat it in the car, because we knew there would be NO food. Famosly my aunt did 5 tatties (potatoes) for 7 people!!!!! So Edinburgh were in and around you would knock on a door and the person will asy " you'l hav a tea" and there will be cake etc, you may also get a doggy bag,, you will also hear "(Och thats no enouf, you"l hav same moor) yep West Coasr and Highlander Scots are inablers "feeders".
@@travelunflitered Neither do i ,i just do not get what some folks think. I truly loved the both of yours video.Duncan who misses my Edinburgh very much.
Scotland is OK for a week in summer but run by the worst of politicians but soon Labour will set them out on their own then Tony Blaire can be king of first Scotland and then the EU
My instant respect for pronouncing both Glasgow and Edinburgh correctly
We do our best! Cheers! ✌🏼
@@travelunfliteredRespect for that. Many travellers don't.
Luvvies, makes me spew, it's a shithole be honest
the number of videos that talk about glass cow and edinburg.
Indeed! Would've been double respect if 'Loch' was pronounced correctly as well but i'm impressed regardless.
13.03 The Kelpies 😁
Next time get on a train in Edinburgh, get off at Linlithgow & visit the Palace. Get back on the train & visit Stirling Castle & Wallace Monument.
Go back across the Forth & visit some of the Fife beaches & harbours - excellent fish & chips in Anstruther.
About an hour south of Edinburgh is New Lanark, a UNESCO world heritage site.
Edinburgh is an easy city to be a tourist in because it's all right in front of you as you leave the station - Old Town & New Town, the dodgy bits are all on the outskirts and some have already undergone gentrification - Leith in particular.

That's what Edinburgh lacks is a decent chippy.
New Lanark is more West rather than South - but it's certainly worth visiting.

Hello from Glasgow, Scotland, UK . Take care 😘🏴
Glasgow is one of the few non US cities in the world that mirrors New York’s block layout and as a result is often used for movie filming
Very interesting!
i think youll find Glasgow is actually nearly 200 years older than New York. So NY mirrors Glasgow.
Yup. World War Z, opening scenes there they are attacked in their cars , couple of fast and furious movies and batman, the cathedral was used in that.
@@Skyemansthoughts and the new Indiana Jones movie was partly filmed in Glasgow too.

Glasgow had more of an industrial background therefore isn’t so touristy.
That makes sense!
IRONICALLY YOU MISSED MANY PLACES IN THE NORTH WEST HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS, IT'S 6 HOURS FROM EDINBURGH, PROBABLY BETTER GOING BY TRAIN VIA GLASGOW TO MALLAIG, YOUR GOING TO LOVE THE SCENERY, SUNNY DAYS IN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, OR APRIL, MAY IS THE BEST TIMES TO GO AS IS VERY PEACEFUL ALSO, THE UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER IS ALL THE YEAR ROUND IN SCOTLAND ANYWAY 🏴
Great video guys you seem like fantastic people that appreciate all Edinburgh has to offer. Apart from the weather!!!! Edinburgh born and bred I sometimes forget what a great place it is to live
a truly amazing city ❤️
Thank you for showing my stunning country off so well and loving it.
Our pleasure! Scotland is truly amazing!
happy that you like edinburgh and scotland.glasgow is ok its a bigger city but a bit more industrial am from edinburgh.
We're jealous that you get to live there! So cool!
Hey - glad you enjoyed my home town of Edinburgh. Next time, come down to Leith. It's where the cool kids hang out ;-)
We loved it! But, good to know for next time!
Great video! What time of year did you visit Edinburgh?
this makes me proud be scottish great content glad you’se enjoyed guys 🏴🏴🏴
Thanks so much!
What a great wee video, I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit to Scotland and particularly my hometown of Edinburgh ❤. Haste ye back 🏴🦄
We can't wait to come back!
Yes!!!! I should know, I live there!!!
Scotland yeah !!
Love ❤ Scotland 😊
Same!
You might like to consider visiting Dunnottar Castle, it is next to Stonehaven, about 20 miles South of the city of Aberdeen. Aberdeen is worth visiting itself. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much! We'll add that to the list when we come back!
William Wallace invaded castle, the Scottish favours (Scottish Crown Jewels) were hidden there for many years, before being smuggled away to safety. Mary Queen of Scot’s is said to have visited there. Just a few (hopefully) interesting facts about the castle.
Yes it is
Lovely part of the world! I can’t believe you haven’t got more followers, I’m sure this will change soon.✌🏼
Thanks so much for the kind words! Hopefully it does change soon! Tell all your friends! 😉 haha
Growing subscribers is VERY hard lol we are a relatively new travel channel and it’s like pulling teeth haha. Loved your video and we are actually heading to Edinburgh fairly soon and this video made us even more excited to visit!
Let's support each other! It's definitely been a journey, but we love it! Have fun in Edinburgh! It is seriously a dream!
@@travelunflitered absolutely! We just subbed and can’t wait to see more of your travels! ♥️
Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood House are quite expensive to visit, but most of the museums and galleries are free so they balance each other out. Enjoy your visit!!!
@@stvbee7479 sorry but Holyrood is a Palace.
@@gabbymcclymont3563 That's right, it's called the Palace of Holyrood House.
And it's still expensive to visit!!!
Very enjoyable and thank you for appreciating our country i still discovering it myself last week from.dundee city i took double decker bus too blairgowrie perthshire honestly the views as last stages of angus region before hitting perthshire through mountain scenery lush green fields not afraid too say put a tear too my eye the beauty yes very varied country in scenery but its All beautiful haste ye back thank you just subbed great video thanks
Thanks so much! We can't wait to go back!
3:20 George Heriot's School - a private school founded in 1628. Adjacent to Greyfriars' Church, its pupils are grouped into four houses...
20:05 Glasgow is a much more recent city than Edinburgh - it grew rapidly with the Industrial Revolution.
As a result there are fewer very old buildings but those from the 19th and 20th centuries are numerous and fine. The warmth of your reception reflects your own willingness to take people as you find them and to try and fit in.
Glasgow is hugely overrated.
@@sandersson2813 That's mainly because successive councils have squandered the money they collected in rates.
@@kumasenlac5504 No, it's just a crap place.
@@sandersson2813
You missed it completely didn't you...
A simple visitors guide. I have seen before on our own television channels advertising our own country.
Really easy to make friends here in Scotland. I stay in Inverness and even if I don’t know anyone at the places I go. Within a few minutes we are all blethering (talking) together and having a laugh I’d chat with you no problem as would anyone I know. Glad you like the best wee country in the world
We can't wait to come back!
Hi folks Im from Scotland here and Edinburgh is one of best looking citys in Europe ..As for Amsterdam been there 3 x times and similar type buildings but all round Edinburgh was nicer and been there so many times as stayed not so far away all my life and Old Town is very nice as well as the Grassmarket and you shall have liked much i think the Scottish shops around the city and with many on Royal Mile also known as the High street in Edinburgh and The Athens of the North as some call it
also up on hilly part is Calton Hill nice also for pics
And meant to say Greyfriars Bobby statue just off the Royal Mile in Chambers street think it comes under ? And the graveyard in Greyfriars churchyard has graves within of dogs and old mans John Gray ..Anyhow only thing about Edinburgh and Scotland as a whole is it can be hilly and with many of the cobble stones to walk .
As for the Netherlands its all on the flat which makes it easier if on foot or cycling which is big there u shall fins and Amsterdam i used as a base to explore other also parts of the Netherlands as main railway station was handy for that in " Centraal Station " to get a train to other parts
i went to Haarlem with the square being nice and Leiden < A university type town also nice visit
and Volendam a fishing town was also fun to visit ..but are so many others its your choice
As for again in Scotland the Isle of Skye also nice part to go and you can go the Highland Way route and head up also for to view Fort William where the highest Mpuntain in UK sits being " Ben Nevis "
and places to visit for to take pics etc .. another nice part in Scotland is Ullapool and Oban etc
Enjoy yer travels folks .
Thanks for the information!
The answer to your question.
YES!
absolutely!
Very glad you enjoyed visiting my country. Scotland is a very welcoming country.
Thanks so much! We absolutely loved it!
Boke...sick bucket plesse
I am disabled so even if I had the money I couldn’t do all the walking . I live in Ohio but have 41 percent Scottish ancestry . Thank you for showing me the sites 💗
All the buses here are wheelchair accessible by the way... And you can just find a few good pubs and chill 💖
I’m so sorry to hear that, but I’m glad you were able to see it through our eyes!

You are always welcome ,haste ye back .
You should definitely try and make Orkney fit in your itinerary also think about the North Coast 500
Thanks for the tip! Next time!
You sync'd the piper's fingers to the flute music! Nice one! Was it meant?
Lets say it was 😎 lol
I want to compliment your video....what you filmed was very nicely done....however, you really should narrate throughout your video, telling your viewers what they're looking out. You may end up losing viewers because of it. I have been to Scotland, so I knew what I was seeing, but someone who hasn't would be lost.
Thanks for the heads up! ✌🏼
Welcome back anytime! Next time include a night at Redpoint Beach to watch the sunset with Boards of Canada as the soundtrack. Then head up the coastal roads towards Cape Wrath, stunning. Agree with visiting Harris \ Lewis as well.
hills, hills, and more hills, but worth it.
Research the true hidden gems of each counrty you go to , because it is a visit not a journey. I understand finance is an issue and time is tight, and that is why rearch is key.
Thanks!
Having been born and brought in Glasgow, the reason why you feel that way is because a lot of our old buildings were pulled to the ground, which you can 'thank' our idiotic council for doing. A shining example of that was the old Argylle hotel that sat at St. Enoch and was replaced by the 'St. Enoch shopping centre', which is soon to be raised to the ground.
There's a lot to see of Scotland, you only have to look up Castle Campbell, although it's apparently currently not open at the moment, the views from high up are spectacular; then there is Dunrobin Castle way up north, as well as Culzean Castle that is farther to the South.
There's the famous Burns Cottage, which was where the famous bard, Robert Burns, was born and raised, it has the museum, the famous church and 'Brig O' Doon' that he wrote 'Tam O' Shanter' on. There's even farther south his Mausoleum where he is laid to rest, his old house.
If you're someone that takes interest to the Viking history correlative to the invasions in Scotland, Largs apparently has a museum and the history about the Battle of Largs, as well as in the Shetland they hold festivals each year where you see them burn the torches and put on a big display.
Also keep note, at the current moment they will be building or have planned to build a Pictish Broch, which is an ancient Pictish stone settlement, they're going to be using the original building technique to build for the first time since one of those massive brochs way up north:
• www.thebrochproject.co.uk/other-projects
• www.visitorsguidetoscotland.com/2022/01/replica-scottish-broch/
How far they've got with that, I've no idea, but that for certain is something that should excite tourists as that is something that would enable you to see inside something that goes back to the iron age.
All that being said, it's wonderful to see you's enjoyed yourselves here in Scotland. You's are always more than welcome.
Very interesting! Thanks for information and advice!
How could I not subscribe when to someone who compares my hame toon (Edinburgh) to a wet dream? 🤣Please do come again 👍
This wins the BEST comment ever award! We literally laughed out loud! Thanks for subscribing! Were happy to have you as a part of the community!
Edinburgh is undoubtedly very pretty, Glasgow is better for shopping, it has am underground train system too that is very easy, it’s just circular, outer ring & inner ring, go to the west end of Glasgow, it’s very trendy with lots of interesting bars & resturaunts, go to some whisky bars & do a whisky tasting, there’s great nightlife in Glasgow, we have the OVO HYDRO, 14,000 capacity where all the big musicians perform, my favourite pub is in the city centre, The Pot Still with over 700 whiskies with very knowledgable bar staff, in Glasgow you have to do more research to find out what there is to do, Edinburgh is very obvious, you just need to walk around looking at stuff, you can take a bus from Glasgow to Loch Lomond for the day, it’s a very short journey but so nice there, don’t dismiss Glasgow as it has tons to offer, it just takes more effort from you
I used to cycle to Loch Lomond (Balloch) from Glasgow. There is a cycle path that you can pick up from the SECC/OVO, I think it is the National Cycle Route 7. You can then get the train back to Queen Street.
We’ll have to give Glasgow a proper time next time!
@@travelunflitered my American friends love Glasgow for it’s vibrant nightlife and hustle and bustle and the very friendly people, it has a totally different vibe than Edinburgh and not as touristy but still has tons to offer, Kelvingrove art gallery, Riverside transport museum, both free admission as are all museums
Agreed deeply
Glad you got to see the Kelpies. I live close to them and still enjoy talking a walk around the Kelpies..
Your comment of a wet dream was fun but you need to know that it means somthing els here in Scotland so find out more abought your comment you will be surprised if not shocked glad you both had a great time in wonderfull Scotland and support us in our quest for independence and thank yous for your visit come back soon 😊😊😊😊😊
Good to know! haha, we can't wait to come back!
@@travelunflitered your both welcome just see more of Glasgow next time thank you for your reply guys all tge best 👌 👍
Im from the Highlands and when you get a good you cant beat the place, now adays I live in the middle east but I love all these videos of people going to scotland on holiday - makes me think I should get back home and visit more. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the kind words!
as a scotsman call me bias, but the answer is yes.
NEVER heard a bad word about Edinburgh, it look like huge movie set! Glasgow on the the other hand…… love your channel
Thanks so much!
Scotland is the best thank you 😊
It really is!
Haste ye back guys.
Like everywhere we go, if we're only there for a short while we tend to do the standout attractions. Speak to a local and you might find that wee nugget that isn't in the guide book.
Not sure if it interests you but my "wee nuggets" for Edinburgh would be any "below ground tours", The Chocolatarium, , Gladstones Land, Afternoon tea at the Colonnades, Surgeons Hall tour, The Dean Village and many more.
Of course it's the best, were you not paying attention?
Come across your videos as like to see peoples views on places they visit. Pleased you liked Scotland so much, and so refreshing to see a lovely young couple doing this kind of thing. If returning you need to spend more time experiencing the Highlands and islands. Especially the west coast Oban, fort Augustus , inverness and of course not forgetting the Isles of Arran, Mull and Skye.... plenty so see and do, a must if you like sea food, and if you like your whiskey a never ending supply of distilleries. Good luck with future travels, I will enjoy watching the rest of your video's. 🏴
We'll add that to the list for next time! Thanks!
If it were not for the climate, it very well could be.
I could see that! I love rainy and gloomy weather though!
Subscribed 👍🏻
We appreciate it! Glad to have you!
Ive lived in Scotland all my life so my view of it is honest. Stunning scenery, average weather and if like me you live in central Scotland, its full of religious bigots.
Come 30 miles south from Edinburgh and you're in the Tweed Valley, the epicentre of mountain biking in the south of Scotland. Plus hiking, fishing and beautiful scenery.
Good to know, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed Scotland. 😊
Having worked in the Holiday Accommodation business in this beautiful country for several years I have seen the habits of tourists/visitors when they come here and am always baffled by this urgency that many people have to tick the boxes and whizz around hoping to see everything. ....
If I could offer some simple advice to people reading these comments I would say, don’t try to do everything. Scotland is bigger than people think and not the easiest place to get around.
I appreciate that for many this might be a once in a lifetime holiday, but if you can, aim at staying in one or two places and explore out from there. Allow this land to absorb into you, and let its magic work on you.
Maybe I’m just getting older and can’t take a frantic pace anymore but the idea of whizzing up from Glasgow to Inveraray (a two hour car journey), and then spending a short time in what is essentially a tourist trap before ignoring the rest of Argyll to get to Oban to then Sit a on ferry for ages so you can tick off some Hebridean islands, is not my idea of fun. .... But each to their own.
I guess what I’m attempting to say in my long winded way is take your time and enjoy your holiday. Scotland is magical, and outside of the cities it is peaceful too.....Allow it to embrace you.
Thanks for the video guys 😊🙏
I love that perspective. Thanks for sharing!
@@travelunfliteredI’d second that, there’s so much more to our beautiful country. The west coast is even more beautiful than the east. Oban area is a good base for exploring some of the islands, (like Iona, Staffa), Glencoe, Kilmartin Glen (if you’re interested in pre historic monuments), Corryvreckan Whirlpool, Ben Nevis etc or go further north to the Isle of Skye and the surrounding areas up there.
Glasgow Scotland capital i no i5 ed burger
can i tell you what put me off on this video....the background music, it was really making me cringe, apart from that it would have been a great video, its nice to see as a Scotsman how other people see my homeland, i honestly think to just hear the natural noises in the background other than the music would be cool :)
The music seems to be a divisive topic haha. But, thanks for the advice and kind words either way!
Did you see the old US Flag etched onto the old prison cell door, left by a prisoner from the 1812 war.
We must've missed it! Guess we'll have to go back! haha

Very interesting!

You need way more commentary
If it's a country why isn't it at the UN?

Your really deluded i have been in a lot of countries and my best country for the people and the beautiful land and sea is Thailand which i now live in. Scotland is miles behind it.

All these gushes and luvvie comments make me spew..pathetic. tell the real story about scotlandstan formerly a beautiful peaceful country called Scotland. RIP

Edinburgh is all fur coat and nae knickers. It looks nice, but that's it, it is all surface. You turn up at someone's door in Edinburgh and they will greet you with "You'll huv had yer tea", meaning don't expect to get fed. Glasgow (and much of the rest of Scotland) is the opposite, it is a bit industrial, gritty and a history of violence but the people are much friendlier because of it, much like Naples in this respect. Glasgow swelled due to the influx of Gaels from the Highlands and Islands and also immigrants from Ireland, Italy and places like Bangladesh and Pakistan, Edinburgh doesn't have this history. In Edinburgh, you are just another tourist, in Glasgow you are someone they haven't bought a drink for, yet.
That is probably why JK Rowling was able to write HP in a coffee shop, there was never any chance of someone speaking to her. 🤣
Meh
Stop talking nonsence Graeme.
@@duncancallum Just speaking from my own personal experience and those of others. You're not very likely to strike up a conversation with a local in an Edinburgh pub, never mind buy each other rounds.
@@graemefoxworthy2785 u just got the wrong pub. 🍻🏴
I totaly get "you'll huv had yer tea" i'm from near Glasgow and had family in Edinburgh and they were so Edinburgh (my uncle was a lawyer and we were once told the Edinburgh Torys woulden't servive without her(shes long beeb now). But when we had to visit and would stop off at a near Chinese take away and we would eat it in the car, because we knew there would be NO food.
Famosly my aunt did 5 tatties (potatoes) for 7 people!!!!! So Edinburgh were in and around you would knock on a door and the person will asy " you'l hav a tea" and there will be cake etc, you may also get a doggy bag,, you will also hear "(Och thats no enouf, you"l hav same moor) yep West Coasr and Highlander Scots are inablers "feeders".
