I once stood beside an American tourist looking out from a viewpoint in the Trossachs over lochs and forests in the pouring rain and she said, "This place would be beautiful if it wasn't for all this rain". I replied, "This place is beautiful because of all this rain", a wee light came on in her eyes, she smiled, nodded and looked with a whole new appreciation of Scotland and our weather. 👍😁
@@imspyingonyou2243 it did. Parking area at the side of Loch Achray opposite the former Trossachs Hotel, now Tigh Mor, holiday rentals, about 2:30 pm on a midweek afternoon, the lady was from a minibus tour party which had paused to take photos, there were 4 others there and it was light rain at the time but had been wet in the area all morning... anything else you need?
The Duke of Wellington outside the Gallery of Modern Art. Everytime the council had the cone removed, locals replaced it straight away with another cone 😂
Scottish here and this is the first video I've seen of yours. Instant follow! Love how respectful and positive you are about our gorgeous country, haste ye back!
Everyone always misses Culzean Castle in Ayrshire in south west Scotland, which in my opinion is by far the most like a castle, it has a swan lake, open air to sea prisoner cells etc along with stunning views across the sea to the ailsa craig volcano and the isle of arran
Midgies wont bite everyone, they like the smell of certian people. I remeber going on a family camping trip my sister, mum and me got like 2 bites each. My dad got around 200 but you just need decent bug repellent. Also they are mainly beside water or in the woods
Dolphins, porpoises and even minke whales in Moray Firth. Orcas off the coast of Caithness. Basking sharks in Loch Fyne. Hen Harriers, golden eagles, pine martens, red squirrels, nightjars, ospreys etc etc I have seen them all in my 30 odd years of living here. xxx Went to Edinburgh to see the Turner watercolours that they only bring out in winter so they don't fade xxx
There are seven resident pods of dolphins in the world and Scotland has one of them. They are also the biggest bottlenose dolphins, but we don't know why. BTW, ARran, not ArrAN ;)
We had Orcas in the Clyde a couple of years ago, this year was a Humpback Whale, Leatherhead Turtle and we see Dolphins all the time in the ferries between the main land and Isle of Bute, Dunoon or Arran. We also have basking sharks...they are the non carnivorous types... unlike the midges.
Visit the Borders, Lanark, Biggar, New Lanark, Peebles (wonderful chocolate shop and cafe). A lot of emphasis on the Highlands and Islands (and rightly so) but South Lanarkshire and beyond have their own beauty.
arrived to Glasgow,checked in the hotel,guy was talking to me on reception,realize that I don't understand and said-sorry I'm Scottish...well my problem was when plane descending,I'm deaf for an hour...but Scottish people are very nice and friendly
If you want to see dolphins (and who wouldn't), the best place is at Chanonry Point just outside the small town of Fortrose near Inverness. This is where there is a resident pod of dolphins (my husband and I adopt two of them). It's always busy with dolphin watchers but it's a lovely place to while away a few hours (if it's a nice day). The best time is May - September around an hour after the low tides when the salmon are running. You can also take boat trips. It is a wonderful experience.
there are plenty of fuel stations iv travelled all over the highlands you can also put a can of petrol / diesel in the boot just in case but no problems there truly a wonderous place
hire a campervan best way bcs you need to travel around to see it all also you can camp wherever you want in scotland we had a small campervan parked beside stunning lochs etc also loads of campsites if you prefer we didnt pre book anything some nights just parked up by a loch others a campsite best memory parking by a loch one night and bathing in the loch best feeling ever
Usually doesn't get dark until nearer 11pm where I am, near Stirling, The further north you go, the longer the days. There are many accents and dialects throughout Scotland, as well as Gaelic and Doric languages, but don't worry about understanding. As long as you're being genuine and you're polite about it people won't mind slowing down their speech or repeating themselves and you will tend to find that in tourist attractions staff will speak clearly. Otherwise embrace it it's part of the culture!
Also voted the murder capital of the Europe the same week. As our famous comedian Kevin Bridges once said "You might get stabbed but at least we'll give you directions to the hospital" 😂
We travel round the UK visiting all the fab places and we have found that an annual pass to Historic England and The National Trust works out way cheaper than buying tickets for each individual place. ALSO you can use the same annual passes in Scotland (Historic Scotland and Natural Trust for Scotland venues) so again, you can visit all these amazing places for “free”. Look into it and see if you think it would help you out with entry costs. Can’t wait to see your Arran vid - you’ll have a wonderful time coz you’re in Scotland - I live in Glasgow and LOVED your Glasgow vid! X
Statistically, the east of Scotland has less annual rainfall than places in Portugal! Hard to believe. It is a lot wetter overall in the west/north west though. Oban is a nice place to visit, especially when the weather is good. Also Stirling, St Andrews and definitely Edinburgh.
Dunbar is officially the sunniest part of Scotland. (i have been to Portugal). But East Lothian is really very stunning. West Lothian - bland. Mid Lothian - Edinburgh. East Lothian is like a switch and a filter has been turned on. I have been all round East Lothian, beautiful patch, lots of European tourists in motor homes and motorbikes that have came over on the ferry (from Newcastle or Rosyth) I have stayed on Dunbar Main Street several times. Portugal was scorching hot when i was there in Lisbon, Estoril and Cascais. I’ve worked in Oban and Stirling. Stirlingshire is near to Perthshire where the drives are absolutely stunning in so many bits. (Worried about running out of petrol - get 2 petrol cans, strap them together, less chance of them toppling over - and plonk them in the boot) Drive from Pitlochry area to Aboyne/ Ballater area. (in a North/ North-East direction) If you get the weather and day right, your jaw might be hanging open. ‘like driving through a painting or a colossal postcard.
Up on the Moray Firth they have their own micro climate and also the Gulf stream so the weather is relatively good up there. And absolutely stunning scenery and Beaches. Nairn, Dornoch, are worth a visit.
You don't even have to go to the highlands to see highland cattle. There is a herd of them in Pollok park in Glasgow. You could also visit the Burrell collection
Visit the Isle of Bute. I came her 23 years ago and never left. Edinburgh is definitely worth a long weekend. Linlithgow and there's a beautiful place called Loch Awe, has the most amazing little church, St Conans Kirk.
Yes I live in Inverness and we do have some beautiful scenery but, it rains all the time and creates a constant melancholy. And our high street, the place where people go shopping is an absolute disgrace and I feel so bad for tourists paying lots of money to visit here, the shopping is embarrassing. Oh and dont expect to get any decent food after 10pm, its a city in name only 🙈. But still come we welcome you 😂🩵
Favorite castle is eilean donan up at Kyle of Lochalsh if you get up to skye check there out and the white sands of morar at Arisaig is the best beach not far from each other
You've got dolphins in Ireland too! Edinburgh castle is busy, but I've never seen it packed. I think they only sell so many tickets, and I think it only sells out during the festival. It's fairly expensive but well worth it cos you can spend hours up there. At Christmastime you can visit it at night and they have illuminations, it's a great time to visit. Doing the NC500 is the only time I've been in a car where we've nearly ran out of petrol...My friend's car was running on fumes and she was afraid to stop in case the car wouldn't start again, but we made it to the petrol station! If you plan your trips you'll be fine, we'd missed a petrol station we'd meant to go to. I'm not sure there are proper midges in Ireland. Ours are so bad that they moved most of the filming of Braveheart from Scotland to Ireland cos the midges made filming impossible! Avon Skin So Soft is the best thing for midges, and if you go hillwalking on a dull day when there's no wind, take a midge net!
If you have never seen Edinburgh Castle 🏰 busy, you have been lucky. In my opinion they let too many people in and then the queues inside are horrendous, it's also very expensive.
We have dozens of dolphin in the moray firth off Inverness so much so there are many dolphin spotting boats for tourists throughout the summer months, its big business
Don't spend your money going into crowded Edinburgh Castle, Eddy. Maybe do some of the Water of Leith Walkway, and discover Murrayfield, Dean Village, Stockbrige and Leith - and Climb Arthurs Seat, too! A lot of the street scenes in that film were in Aberdeen by the way; but the Sherlock Holmes statue - that's in Edinburgh. There are usually road signs warning you as you approach petrol stations in rural areas - "Last Petrol for 56 miles," and suchlike. You can always carry a gallon in the boot, just in case...
The part where he was talking about driving on the left and having to remind tourists is so true... I used to do long distance delivery driving, the A9 from Perth to Inverness is notorious for horrific crashes, all the time! In the summer it's even worse and sadly it's usually tourists that bring their camper vans across from Europe and sadly have a lapse in concentration, especially pulling out of junctions! Take care on that road if you do drive over here!
Hi Eddy! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. I loved watching your reaction video. Is Cheese really your surname?... We welcome everybody to oor wonderful wee country and there is so much to see. It is best to come in the Summer, if you want nice weather. As others have said, there are many petrol stations around. Just make sure you have plenty in the tank, if you're driving far. As said in this video, the food is so much more than just haggis. I'm glad he mentioned the famous Scottish salmon, which is probably the best in the world. You must try the deep fried Mars bar as well, though, if you can find it and also Snickers, which I like even better. You don't need to drive far to see wonderful sites. I mean there is Loch Lomond, for example, not far from Glasgow and also the Isle of Arran, which is called "Scotland in miniature", where you get to experience most sites in one small island. You will need to catch a ferry to see that place though and you can also take your car. Arran also has many Red Squirrels that are pretty much extinct around the rest of the UK, due to the larger grey squirrels that some idiot Victorian banker brought over from America, many years ago. There is also Holy Isle off the coast of Arran, where they have native wild ponies and, believe it or not, Wallaby Island near Loch Lomond, where wallabies roam free! I heard you saying you'll be visiting Dubai soon. We've only been inside the airport every year, on the way to our other home in Thailand, another wonderful country. I'll look for your other videos, to see where else youve visited. All the Best to you! Æ 🙏
10:51 Dundee bridge " The Tay Bridge" disaster happened on December 28th 1879. Many were killed and the bridge was rebuilt, however, if you look closely especially on the Dundee side of the bridge, you will still see some of the old posts built up through the water to hold the original bridge alongside the new ones holding this rebuilt bridge which is still standing strong and in use. Here is a wee link if anyone fancies checking out the history of this disaster which to this day remains in the top 5 for the whole of the UK. much love to you all x en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_Bridge_disaster
Lived in Fife 34 years, been to Edinburgh a thousand times and the castle a few, it's impressive sure but it's crowded and expensive and there's honestly not much to see, I'd go to Stirling Castle instead. We have plenty of petrol stations mate and as far as I know, we have full phone coverage. Anyhoo, later.
Haggis is entirely banned in the US. It cannot be imported at all. It does not meet food regulation standards there. I have lived in Sub-Saharan Africa 6 times. (East Africa) I was in the house one evening there quietly reading the paper, and there was an article on how one of their food dishes is ‘the same as Scottish haggis’, in Swahili it is called ‘mutura’. I nearly fell off the chair. I lived on sukomaweeki, nyama choma and ugali. Never saw mutura listed or mentioned anywhere. I recon one needs to be in the know. Haggis is seriously not bad at all. especially with mashed turnip.
It's funny that haggis is still banned in the US, yet chlorinated chicken is acceptable. Some people freak out when they hear that it's made from 'organs', which is naive to say the least. The contents of a McDonald's burger are a lot worse than haggis.
Yeah you have to be careful, we only have 4 petrol stations in Scotland, they are the North, South, East and West petrol stations, and they are only open for 2 hours per day and 1 hour through the weekend lol
Yeah, I remember I ran out of petrol in the north of Scotland and I walked for 40 days and 40 nights with my petrol can in hand only to end up dead 'what a holiday that turned out to be 💀😂
Hey if doing castles and including edinburgh id recoment the historic scotland plan as visiting Edinburgh castle twice your saving just using the pass along. Edinburgh is right in capital so usually busyish stirling castle much nicer though
Plenty of petrol stations so don’t worry, I’m Scottish travelled all over our beautiful country and have never ran out of fuel..even in an electric car. You just have to keep in mind when you see a station you can’t on the next one being in 15/20 miles when you are in the countryside and on back roads. Irish and Scot’s on the west coast definitely talk at the same fast pace …below Glasgow at least. 😊
Most places are not a problem but it's true that Petrol stations can be few and far between in the highlands and islands (especially on a Sunday). Just make sure you fill up when you can.
Scotland has the porpoise, which is similar to the dolphin. Going to the Isle of Skye at winter is amazing, go to a pub for lunch in the town, and you will have a large open fire, burning logs to make it homely, it's fantastic.
@@phoenixrising5088 lived in both, and yes they are truly stunning areas. I don’t recommend growing up there though, it’s quite isolated, or at least was in the 90s
Arran is good get a breakfast on the boat. The walk along the beach is nice. Skye is my fav island. Edinburgh is stunning people a bit different to Glasgow lol
Not sure how well this is known, but a great place to visit is Fort George near Inverness. It's an old citadel style fort on the coast sticking out into the sea. It's a good visit but a great place to see Dolphins as there is water on 3 sides. It's still an active Army Barracks, so I'm not sure how much the public can see. But you can definitely see some of it.
Eddy , there are petrol stations in the highlands, my advice would be if you need petrol get it before 6.00 as a lot of the small petrol stations close along with the shops. The next new You Tube video should be Eddy’s tour around Scotland 👍
He failed to pick up on the Scottish weather stone Stone is wet - rain Stone is dry - no rain Shadow on ground -sunny White on top - snowing Can't see Stone- foggy Stone is swinging - windy Stone jumping up and down- earthquake Stone gone - tornado
That statue is in Lieth walk Edinburgh its of Sherlock holmes ,,its outside the house of Arthur Conan Doyle the Author of Sherloch Holmes so its not in Glasgow
Hey thanks again for the tips. I'm back in the UK now. Just uploaded a new video we made after hearing your advice. My mum and dad joined in as well for this one. Thanks a million!
I'm born and raised in Scotland but I have aunts and uncles that moved to America 40-50 yrs ago ....I remember I was maybe 8 yrs old (im 50 now) and my aunt and uncle with my cousins (who were born in America ) who had came home to visit us ..I remember my cousin was up in my bedroom with my brother and I all of a sudden he stopped in his tracks and ran down stairs to tell my aunt " mom ..they've got tv here !!" as if it was some sort of miracle ..he was about get another shock when he found out that there was only 3 tv channels at the time 🤣🤣🤣
If you do the NC500 do it before July as from July onwards it’s going to be midge central wherever you stand . Fried Mars bar, creame egg were both done in England first at a fish and chip ship at the top of stanwix in Carlisle.
If you go to a village called Findhorn in the district Moray and you can go out on a tour boat that will take you out to see the dolphin , we love and are very proud of our dolphins in the Moray firth ❤️🏴
Edinburgh is touristy but it’s defo for a reason .. best time to go to the castle would be during the week or first thing in the morning ( most days ) and plenty other Amazing places too! 😢
Your video popped up on my youtube. Edinburgh doesn't represent Scotland as London doesn't the UK or Washington DC doesn't represent US. Edinburgh castle has military history while Stirling castle goes back to before 1120 AD. Don't worry about our lingo. When you ask for help, people will tone down and help you. If you are visiting Scotland, bring or hire a car. West coast drive has the best scenery. Ask the locals when it comes to places to eat and places to see. Never trust our weather cos it changes from one min to the next. Always wear a winter breaker jacket and carry waterproof jacket and boots in your backpack. Most Importantly... remember: Our history are little nuggets of gold spread around the land of Scotland. Im from Glasgow and I usually tell my friends to give me 3 or 4 days to show them the history of Glasgow (excluding museums) alone cos you cant cover it in one day or few hours on tourist bus.
Perthshire is beautiful in central Scotland. The Moray firth is stunning with beautiful beaches. Fishing villages on the East coast are worth visiting for great Fish. East Neuk of Fife is quaint with small Fishing Villages and great Sea Food and Fish restaurants. So many beautiful places all over Scotland. 🏴
There is a narrow road somewhere. I can’t remember where other than in the Highlands. We got to the top of the road with the caravan to realise we couldn’t see the rest of the road…it was a sheer drop. Absolutely terrifying and exciting at the same time..
You will love Arran and you may see Dolphins from the ferry. Lots of people posting videos of jumping Dolphins off Arran a couple of weeks ago. When I was a kid my mum, dad, aunties and us kids would stay in Pirnmill for a month every summer. My mum and dad would go to work in Glasgow during the week and join us on the weekends and also had 2 weeks holiday with us. Arran is beautiful. I recommend taking the normal service bus which goes right round the island and you can get off somewhere (I recommend Lochranza) and wait for the next bus. The sandy beach at Brodick is nice so you should leave yourself some time before catching the ferry back to Ardrossan to walk along the beach or have a swim. Buy Smidge for the midgies. It’s what we use here in Argyll.
I can do 13 miles in just under 10 mins in the subaru, and 13 mins in the modus on a clear run, on a normal drive with hold ups etc 20 mins tops 👍🏻👍🏻alos the amazing bridge was likely the forth rail bridge
If you want to visit Edinburgh the best time, pricewise, is May or early September. The best weather, it's not the Fringe or student term time. If you're not worried about the weather (as Billy Connolley said, "There's no such thing as wrong weather, just wrong clothing.") it's going to be a lot cheaper. If it's a quieter time and you want to visit as long as I'm not on camera, I'm happy for you to kip here. I'm really central, 100m from the Meadows and you're welcome to stay a couple of night, for free. :) Thinking about it. I put performers up every year, for the Fringe. I have someone staying from the 4th but if you wanted to do content about the Fringe, the pre-Fringe starts a week earlier. If you left on the 3rd, you could stay for that. All shows before the Fringe starts are half price. EDIT: I don't know what the midges are like, in Ireland. This is not an exageration these are genuiine numbers, the swarm in their billions! You can literally not have any skin exposed, that is not covered by them. You can't use repellant, you have you use meshing.
6:06 - Jerry Cans, my man. 9:44 - whatever you've heard was likely scaled back for a foreign ear. There's little point us speaking fully normally, if the recipient has no chance of understanding. 15:25 - That's good. But, 4 seasons in a day does happen and people who are new are a little caught off guard.
A day and a half for Edinburgh you’re just going to get not even a 1% experience. If you want a cool but very busy experience come for the Edinburgh festival July/august and come for a weekend and bring some friends. Book yourself into some shows and then dinner and drinks to soak up the nightlife. You will have a blast. And yes we have dolphins and also whales and orcas and even sharks equally. Need any help with what to do and where to go in Scotland. To answer during the festival Edinburgh Castle has the Tattoo every evening so I would avoid it. But during the week it’s not that busy. If you have a friend or family in the military you get free entry. Ha and don’t worry about petrol stations, even in a lot rural areas the internet works well so you can check for a petrol station and you will find the majority of villages have a petrol station. And I have travelled all around Scotland my whole life as well as living here. The NC500 is brilliant. You don’t need to do it all, and also it’s at your pace and you have plenty of points along the way to stop or book a hotel or b&b etc. As I said if u want help let me know. Ha Dundee ? My dad was a Dundee man then he moved to Edinburgh. Dundee and Tayside & Fife is very “up and coming” to live, work and nightlife. The bridges you were talking about is the Forth rail bridge which is exactly where I grew up. Your crosssing the firth of the forth. Also we have two road bridges crossing the same river. Also Scottish cuisine you’re talking about is very old fashioned and yes it is tasty but Scotland is very modern and we have lots of restaurants etc. Lastly children can eat in “pubs” at night as long as they are not in the bar area or within eyesight off the bar so check before you go as alot of places will have separate dining areas to accommodate for thjs. Hope this helps anyone coming here and if you have any specific questions just leave me a message as I’m always happy to help xxxx
There are so many things to see, wouldn't worry about not getting a petrol station Eddy 😂. Edinburgh accomodation is expensive, maybe better to stay on the outskirts, trams can take you to outskirts easily, us Glaswegians used to say the best thing in Edinburgh is the road back to Glasgow, but seriously it's worth a visit. Castle is too busy and overly expensive, Royal Mile is good area along with The Grassmarket, if you continue up the East Coast you'll get to Dundee fairly quickly then a few holiday spots, Arbroath and Aberdeen are nice - enjoy it all buddy.😊
I’ve driven all over Scotland and have never run out of petrol. You fill up when you see a petrol station……people do live in the highlands you know, and they have cars too 😉
Scottish haggis made straight from the farm always gets people claiming it’s the best, black pudding is so tasty, also look up Lorne sausage also known as square sausage
How u doing bro. I'm Scottish living outside of Edinburgh. Little bit of info that might help my friend. If u go to Edinburgh castle around 1 o clock. You will see the q o clock gun. An artillery gun fires, every day at precisely 1 o clock, so it will be busy then. Plus u don't need to be at the castle to hear the gun. Princess street, the long main road driving adjacent to the castle. Its around £20 entry. Edinburgh is very expensive so keep that in mind. I also recommend the dungeons and the Mary Kings Close. Edinburgh is spooky at night especially in Halloween times. Trip then would be fun. Loads of haunted tours. Plenty crazy spooky ghost stories to be told in town. Well worth it. Or summer is the Edinburgh festival all summer things happening all over the city. People are a little busy to talk to it's not like Glasgow. Glasgow is full of helpful funny happy Scots. Edinburgh is full of busy busy people who seem quite unfriendly but they just busy. Don't feel bad if people don't talk as freely as other parts of Scotland. Have a great time.
Carry a petrol can with fuel in the bk of your car lol, do not go to Edinburgh in festival August, when military tattoo is on , go to a castle as it opens less people in the morning, love from bonnie scotland
He's just having fun in his own wacky way. I think most people watch his videos to see his take on it, because it's pretty charming. Makes me have a wee smile, especially when he gets things badly wrong.
enjoy your wee break I'm dubia Eddie don't think they sell nae snowballs there and it will be a case of 2 buy or not 2 buy I'm dubia 😊 enjoy yourself cheers
Aye, it's surprisingly pleasant on a nice day now. Eddy didn't go there, but the Perth Road area is pretty lively these days to, with lots of nice pubs & Georgian architecture.
Dundee is awesome now.. not as much going on as Edinburgh etc but the food standard and choices are amazing. I’m not a drinker but they have some really old bars still there. I enjoy a day there
I live across the river from Dundee and its a great place. Base yourself there and pop over here to the wonderful Kingdom of Fife. Visits to St Andrews and the East Neuk fishing villages are a must
Scotland's tiny, mate. You'll always be able to find a petrol station, and the mobile coverage is pretty well universal here. Glad you enjoyed my home city of Dundee. Come back any time. Added bonus, the east coast midge is far calmer.

Fun fact about Scotland. In 2012 Glasgow was voted Europes most dangerous and friendliest city.
Also voted the murder capital of the Europe the same week. As our famous comedian Kevin Bridges once said "You might get stabbed but at least we'll give you directions to the hospital" 😂
Theres around 1500 castles in Scotland (3000 if you count the ruins)
In Scotland you are never lost, yer exactly where yer supposed to be 😅😊
We travel round the UK visiting all the fab places and we have found that an annual pass to Historic England and The National Trust works out way cheaper than buying tickets for each individual place.

Look into it and see if you think it would help you out with entry costs.

Statistically, the east of Scotland has less annual rainfall than places in Portugal! Hard to believe. It is a lot wetter overall in the west/north west though. Oban is a nice place to visit, especially when the weather is good. Also Stirling, St Andrews and definitely Edinburgh.
Dunbar is officially the sunniest part of Scotland. (i have been to Portugal). But East Lothian is really very stunning. West Lothian - bland. Mid Lothian - Edinburgh. East Lothian is like a switch and a filter has been turned on.
I have been all round East Lothian, beautiful patch, lots of European tourists in motor homes and motorbikes that have came over on the ferry (from Newcastle or Rosyth)
I have stayed on Dunbar Main Street several times. Portugal was scorching hot when i was there in Lisbon, Estoril and Cascais. I’ve worked in Oban and Stirling. Stirlingshire is near to Perthshire where the drives are absolutely stunning in so many bits.
(Worried about running out of petrol - get 2 petrol cans, strap them together, less chance of them toppling over - and plonk them in the boot)
Drive from Pitlochry area to Aboyne/ Ballater area. (in a North/ North-East direction) If you get the weather and day right, your jaw might be hanging open. ‘like driving through a painting or a colossal postcard.
Up on the Moray Firth they have their own micro climate and also the Gulf stream so the weather is relatively good up there. And absolutely stunning scenery and Beaches. Nairn, Dornoch, are worth a visit.
hi fay scotland,watched prob all your vids now,i can see you moving up here lol .keep up the good vids pal.
Thanks 👍🤩
You don't even have to go to the highlands to see highland cattle. There is a herd of them in Pollok park in Glasgow. You could also visit the Burrell collection
Visit the Isle of Bute. I came her 23 years ago and never left. Edinburgh is definitely worth a long weekend. Linlithgow and there's a beautiful place called Loch Awe, has the most amazing little church, St Conans Kirk.
Yes I live in Inverness and we do have some beautiful scenery but, it rains all the time and creates a constant melancholy. And our high street, the place where people go shopping is an absolute disgrace and I feel so bad for tourists paying lots of money to visit here, the shopping is embarrassing. Oh and dont expect to get any decent food after 10pm, its a city in name only 🙈. But still come we welcome you 😂🩵
Favorite castle is eilean donan up at Kyle of Lochalsh if you get up to skye check there out and the white sands of morar at Arisaig is the best beach not far from each other
You've got dolphins in Ireland too! Edinburgh castle is busy, but I've never seen it packed. I think they only sell so many tickets, and I think it only sells out during the festival. It's fairly expensive but well worth it cos you can spend hours up there. At Christmastime you can visit it at night and they have illuminations, it's a great time to visit. Doing the NC500 is the only time I've been in a car where we've nearly ran out of petrol...My friend's car was running on fumes and she was afraid to stop in case the car wouldn't start again, but we made it to the petrol station! If you plan your trips you'll be fine, we'd missed a petrol station we'd meant to go to. I'm not sure there are proper midges in Ireland. Ours are so bad that they moved most of the filming of Braveheart from Scotland to Ireland cos the midges made filming impossible! Avon Skin So Soft is the best thing for midges, and if you go hillwalking on a dull day when there's no wind, take a midge net!
If you have never seen Edinburgh Castle 🏰 busy, you have been lucky. In my opinion they let too many people in and then the queues inside are horrendous, it's also very expensive.
There were dolphins off the cost of Arron last week, its not the further north you go its the further west you go. hope you have a good trip.
Thank you 😀
We have dozens of dolphin in the moray firth off Inverness so much so there are many dolphin spotting boats for tourists throughout the summer months, its big business
Don't spend your money going into crowded Edinburgh Castle, Eddy. Maybe do some of the Water of Leith Walkway, and discover Murrayfield, Dean Village, Stockbrige and Leith - and Climb Arthurs Seat, too! A lot of the street scenes in that film were in Aberdeen by the way; but the Sherlock Holmes statue - that's in Edinburgh. There are usually road signs warning you as you approach petrol stations in rural areas - "Last Petrol for 56 miles," and suchlike. You can always carry a gallon in the boot, just in case...
Thanks for the tips
@@EddycheeeeGo to Stirling Castle. Twice the size, half as busy.
The part where he was talking about driving on the left and having to remind tourists is so true... I used to do long distance delivery driving, the A9 from Perth to Inverness is notorious for horrific crashes, all the time! In the summer it's even worse and sadly it's usually tourists that bring their camper vans across from Europe and sadly have a lapse in concentration, especially pulling out of junctions! Take care on that road if you do drive over here!
Eddie you need to visit the underground city when you visit Edinburgh & do the ghost tour, people actually lived below the city.
Hi Eddy! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. I loved watching your reaction video. Is Cheese really your surname?...
We welcome everybody to oor wonderful wee country and there is so much to see. It is best to come in the Summer, if you want nice weather.
As others have said, there are many petrol stations around. Just make sure you have plenty in the tank, if you're driving far.
As said in this video, the food is so much more than just haggis. I'm glad he mentioned the famous Scottish salmon, which is probably the best in the world. You must try the deep fried Mars bar as well, though, if you can find it and also Snickers, which I like even better.
You don't need to drive far to see wonderful sites. I mean there is Loch Lomond, for example, not far from Glasgow and also the Isle of Arran, which is called "Scotland in miniature", where you get to experience most sites in one small island. You will need to catch a ferry to see that place though and you can also take your car. Arran also has many Red Squirrels that are pretty much extinct around the rest of the UK, due to the larger grey squirrels that some idiot Victorian banker brought over from America, many years ago. There is also Holy Isle off the coast of Arran, where they have native wild ponies and, believe it or not, Wallaby Island near Loch Lomond, where wallabies roam free!
I heard you saying you'll be visiting Dubai soon. We've only been inside the airport every year, on the way to our other home in Thailand, another wonderful country.
I'll look for your other videos, to see where else youve visited. All the Best to you! Æ 🙏
It’s a nickname loool. I really enjoyed Arran and can’t wait to discover more places 🤩
@@Eddycheeee Oh, you've already visited Arran. I'll look for your video. Did you also take the wee boat trip over to the Holy Isle?
10:51 Dundee bridge " The Tay Bridge" disaster happened on December 28th 1879. Many were killed and the bridge was rebuilt, however, if you look closely especially on the Dundee side of the bridge, you will still see some of the old posts built up through the water to hold the original bridge alongside the new ones holding this rebuilt bridge which is still standing strong and in use. Here is a wee link if anyone fancies checking out the history of this disaster which to this day remains in the top 5 for the whole of the UK. much love to you all x en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_Bridge_disaster
Lived in Fife 34 years, been to Edinburgh a thousand times and the castle a few, it's impressive sure but it's crowded and expensive and there's honestly not much to see, I'd go to Stirling Castle instead. We have plenty of petrol stations mate and as far as I know, we have full phone coverage. Anyhoo, later.
Totally agree - Stirling castle is much better!!
Haggis is entirely banned in the US. It cannot be imported at all. It does not meet food regulation standards there.
I have lived in Sub-Saharan Africa 6 times. (East Africa)
I was in the house one evening there quietly reading the paper, and there was an article on how one of their food dishes is ‘the same as Scottish haggis’, in Swahili it is called ‘mutura’. I nearly fell off the chair.
I lived on sukomaweeki, nyama choma and ugali. Never saw mutura listed or mentioned anywhere. I recon one needs to be in the know.
Haggis is seriously not bad at all. especially with mashed turnip.
It's funny that haggis is still banned in the US, yet chlorinated chicken is acceptable.
Some people freak out when they hear that it's made from 'organs', which is naive to say the least. The contents of a McDonald's burger are a lot worse than haggis.
Oh the irony, haggis not meeting US food regulations 😂😂😂😂
Yeah you have to be careful, we only have 4 petrol stations in Scotland, they are the North, South, East and West petrol stations, and they are only open for 2 hours per day and 1 hour through the weekend lol
Yeah, I remember I ran out of petrol in the north of Scotland and I walked for 40 days and 40 nights with my petrol can in hand only to end up dead 'what a holiday that turned out to be 💀😂

Hey if doing castles and including edinburgh id recoment the historic scotland plan as visiting Edinburgh castle twice your saving just using the pass along. Edinburgh is right in capital so usually busyish stirling castle much nicer though
Petrol tip:-
Top up whenever you can, & you'll always have enough!! 😁
I live in the highlands area everywhere as truly beautiful❤ i always have dears in my garden ❤
I can see Arran from my front garden, great view every morning
Plenty of petrol stations so don’t worry, I’m Scottish travelled all over our beautiful country and have never ran out of fuel..even in an electric car. You just have to keep in mind when you see a station you can’t on the next one being in 15/20 miles when you are in the countryside and on back roads. Irish and Scot’s on the west coast definitely talk at the same fast pace …below Glasgow at least. 😊
Most places are not a problem but it's true that Petrol stations can be few and far between in the highlands and islands (especially on a Sunday). Just make sure you fill up when you can.
Scotland has the porpoise, which is similar to the dolphin. Going to the Isle of Skye at winter is amazing, go to a pub for lunch in the town, and you will have a large open fire, burning logs to make it homely, it's fantastic.
There’s dolphins and whales all up the east coast of Scotland regularly x
Yeah dolphins for days, where I was raised up near Dornoch it’s pretty stunning. Though very different to live here than to visit.
Dornoch is beautiful. The Beach is amazing. Also Embo.
@@phoenixrising5088 lived in both, and yes they are truly stunning areas. I don’t recommend growing up there though, it’s quite isolated, or at least was in the 90s
@@JohnDoe-lx3dt That's what I love about it.
Arran is good get a breakfast on the boat. The walk along the beach is nice. Skye is my fav island. Edinburgh is stunning people a bit different to Glasgow lol
Thanks for the tips! 🙌🏾
Hey eddy we have dolphins in the river tay , you could have seen them from the hotel window when you were in dundee
Not sure how well this is known, but a great place to visit is Fort George near Inverness. It's an old citadel style fort on the coast sticking out into the sea. It's a good visit but a great place to see Dolphins as there is water on 3 sides.
It's still an active Army Barracks, so I'm not sure how much the public can see. But you can definitely see some of it.
I'm in scotland just opposite ARRAN and sat watching a pod of dolphins just yesterday, we get all sorts including basking sharks.
We have seals here too. 😊
Come to Glasgow too, it’s fab, lots to see and do. Dunrobin is a castle and a half if you go that far north😍
If you're going to arran, you should nick across to my hometown, Campbeltown. We call it the wee toon.x
Eddy , there are petrol stations in the highlands, my advice would be if you need petrol get it before 6.00 as a lot of the small petrol stations close along with the shops. The next new You Tube video should be Eddy’s tour around Scotland 👍
We have palm. trees in Scotland

The number one thing that "Shocks" Americans who come to Scotland is having to use their legs to walk places.
Hey thanks again for the tips. I'm back in the UK now. Just uploaded a new video we made after hearing your advice. My mum and dad joined in as well for this one. Thanks a million!
That's awesome. Keep smashing it 🥳🙌🏾
I'm born and raised in Scotland but I have aunts and uncles that moved to America 40-50 yrs ago ....I remember I was maybe 8 yrs old (im 50 now) and my aunt and uncle with my cousins (who were born in America ) who had came home to visit us ..I remember my cousin was up in my bedroom with my brother and I all of a sudden he stopped in his tracks and ran down stairs to tell my aunt " mom ..they've got tv here !!" as if it was some sort of miracle ..he was about get another shock when he found out that there was only 3 tv channels at the time 🤣🤣🤣
There’s hundreds of dolphins in and around the Hebrides which is up and down the west coast!
If you do the NC500 do it before July as from July onwards it’s going to be midge central wherever you stand . Fried Mars bar, creame egg were both done in England first at a fish and chip ship at the top of stanwix in Carlisle.
If you go to a village called Findhorn in the district Moray and you can go out on a tour boat that will take you out to see the dolphin , we love and are very proud of our dolphins in the Moray firth ❤️🏴
Edinburgh is touristy but it’s defo for a reason .. best time to go to the castle would be during the week or first thing in the morning ( most days ) and plenty other Amazing places too!
😢
Your video popped up on my youtube. Edinburgh doesn't represent Scotland as London doesn't the UK or Washington DC doesn't represent US.
Edinburgh castle has military history while Stirling castle goes back to before 1120 AD.
Don't worry about our lingo. When you ask for help, people will tone down and help you.
If you are visiting Scotland, bring or hire a car.
West coast drive has the best scenery.
Ask the locals when it comes to places to eat and places to see.
Never trust our weather cos it changes from one min to the next. Always wear a winter breaker jacket and carry waterproof jacket and boots in your backpack.
Most Importantly... remember: Our history are little nuggets of gold spread around the land of Scotland. Im from Glasgow and I usually tell my friends to give me 3 or 4 days to show them the history of Glasgow (excluding museums) alone cos you cant cover it in one day or few hours on tourist bus.
Perthshire is beautiful in central Scotland. The Moray firth is stunning with beautiful beaches. Fishing villages on the East coast are worth visiting for great Fish. East Neuk of Fife is quaint with small Fishing Villages and great Sea Food and Fish restaurants. So many beautiful places all over Scotland. 🏴
If you come to Inverness give me a shout if I can I meet up with you
There is a narrow road somewhere. I can’t remember where other than in the Highlands. We got to the top of the road with the caravan to realise we couldn’t see the rest of the road…it was a sheer drop. Absolutely terrifying and exciting at the same time..
You will love Arran and you may see Dolphins from the ferry. Lots of people posting videos of jumping Dolphins off Arran a couple of weeks ago.
When I was a kid my mum, dad, aunties and us kids would stay in Pirnmill for a month every summer. My mum and dad would go to work in Glasgow during the week and join us on the weekends and also had 2 weeks holiday with us. Arran is beautiful. I recommend taking the normal service bus which goes right round the island and you can get off somewhere (I recommend Lochranza) and wait for the next bus.
The sandy beach at Brodick is nice so you should leave yourself some time before catching the ferry back to Ardrossan to walk along the beach or have a swim.
Buy Smidge for the midgies. It’s what we use here in Argyll.
I can do 13 miles in just under 10 mins in the subaru, and 13 mins in the modus on a clear run, on a normal drive with hold ups etc 20 mins tops 👍🏻👍🏻alos the amazing bridge was likely the forth rail bridge
If you want to visit Edinburgh the best time, pricewise, is May or early September. The best weather, it's not the Fringe or student term time. If you're not worried about the weather (as Billy Connolley said, "There's no such thing as wrong weather, just wrong clothing.") it's going to be a lot cheaper. If it's a quieter time and you want to visit as long as I'm not on camera, I'm happy for you to kip here. I'm really central, 100m from the Meadows and you're welcome to stay a couple of night, for free. :)
Thinking about it. I put performers up every year, for the Fringe. I have someone staying from the 4th but if you wanted to do content about the Fringe, the pre-Fringe starts a week earlier. If you left on the 3rd, you could stay for that. All shows before the Fringe starts are half price.
EDIT: I don't know what the midges are like, in Ireland. This is not an exageration these are genuiine numbers, the swarm in their billions! You can literally not have any skin exposed, that is not covered by them. You can't use repellant, you have you use meshing.
Get yourself up to Fife Eddie lots to see : be sure to try a white pudding supper with broon sauce : plenty nice walks hopefully the weather is ok
Need to come visit Ayrshire in the south West Coast of Scotland
Scots will love you because your having an adventure with an open mind.
FYI dear, it's Isle of ARRan, not ArrAN. The stress falls on the first syllable, not the second. 😸😻🐿️
6:06 - Jerry Cans, my man.
9:44 - whatever you've heard was likely scaled back for a foreign ear. There's little point us speaking fully normally, if the recipient has no chance of understanding.
15:25 - That's good. But, 4 seasons in a day does happen and people who are new are a little caught off guard.
A day and a half for Edinburgh you’re just going to get not even a 1% experience. If you want a cool but very busy experience come for the Edinburgh festival July/august and come for a weekend and bring some friends. Book yourself into some shows and then dinner and drinks to soak up the nightlife. You will have a blast. And yes we have dolphins and also whales and orcas and even sharks equally. Need any help with what to do and where to go in Scotland. To answer during the festival Edinburgh Castle has the Tattoo every evening so I would avoid it. But during the week it’s not that busy. If you have a friend or family in the military you get free entry. Ha and don’t worry about petrol stations, even in a lot rural areas the internet works well so you can check for a petrol station and you will find the majority of villages have a petrol station. And I have travelled all around Scotland my whole life as well as living here. The NC500 is brilliant. You don’t need to do it all, and also it’s at your pace and you have plenty of points along the way to stop or book a hotel or b&b etc. As I said if u want help let me know. Ha Dundee ? My dad was a Dundee man then he moved to Edinburgh. Dundee and Tayside & Fife is very “up and coming” to live, work and nightlife. The bridges you were talking about is the Forth rail bridge which is exactly where I grew up. Your crosssing the firth of the forth. Also we have two road bridges crossing the same river. Also Scottish cuisine you’re talking about is very old fashioned and yes it is tasty but Scotland is very modern and we have lots of restaurants etc. Lastly children can eat in “pubs” at night as long as they are not in the bar area or within eyesight off the bar so check before you go as alot of places will have separate dining areas to accommodate for thjs. Hope this helps anyone coming here and if you have any specific questions just leave me a message as I’m always happy to help xxxx
Thank you 🤩🤩
Avoid Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival at all costs. It is heaving with tourists and very expensive. 🏴
There are so many things to see, wouldn't worry about not getting a petrol station Eddy 😂. Edinburgh accomodation is expensive, maybe better to stay on the outskirts, trams can take you to outskirts easily, us Glaswegians used to say the best thing in Edinburgh is the road back to Glasgow, but seriously it's worth a visit. Castle is too busy and overly expensive, Royal Mile is good area along with The Grassmarket, if you continue up the East Coast you'll get to Dundee fairly quickly then a few holiday spots, Arbroath and Aberdeen are nice - enjoy it all buddy.😊
Thank you 😀
We have a castle in dundees caird Park that is now a pub
Even if you ran out of petrol buddy you would find a one or more people offer help we are proud supportive people 😊
Edinburgh Castle is good but not the best castle. Love Stirling Castle.
Cawdor Castle is my personal favourite ❤
I’ve driven all over Scotland and have never run out of petrol. You fill up when you see a petrol station……people do live in the highlands you know, and they have cars too 😉
I have never seen in any chippy or even felt the need to try a fried Mars bar even if I saw it on the menu!
Scottish haggis made straight from the farm always gets people claiming it’s the best, black pudding is so tasty, also look up Lorne sausage also known as square sausage
The biggest shock was the guy filmed an Orange Walk in Edinburgh. Agrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
Eddy get up here and your Celtic pals will take you for a tour 🖤🏴🖤
How u doing bro. I'm Scottish living outside of Edinburgh. Little bit of info that might help my friend. If u go to Edinburgh castle around 1 o clock. You will see the q o clock gun. An artillery gun fires, every day at precisely 1 o clock, so it will be busy then. Plus u don't need to be at the castle to hear the gun. Princess street, the long main road driving adjacent to the castle. Its around £20 entry. Edinburgh is very expensive so keep that in mind.
I also recommend the dungeons and the Mary Kings Close. Edinburgh is spooky at night especially in Halloween times. Trip then would be fun. Loads of haunted tours. Plenty crazy spooky ghost stories to be told in town. Well worth it. Or summer is the Edinburgh festival all summer things happening all over the city. People are a little busy to talk to it's not like Glasgow. Glasgow is full of helpful funny happy Scots. Edinburgh is full of busy busy people who seem quite unfriendly but they just busy. Don't feel bad if people don't talk as freely as other parts of Scotland.
Have a great time.
Thank you
The Cannon they fire at the Castle at 1 pm is called Mons Meg. 🏴
Carry a petrol can with fuel in the bk of your car lol, do not go to Edinburgh in festival August, when military tattoo is on , go to a castle as it opens less people in the morning, love from bonnie scotland

The guy in this video you are reacting to doesn't do scotland justice. There are far better videos to watch about the highlands.😁
He did a better video than you did though...
He's just having fun in his own wacky way. I think most people watch his videos to see his take on it, because it's pretty charming. Makes me have a wee smile, especially when he gets things badly wrong.
I didn't dislike him, and I'm a Scot
enjoy your wee break I'm dubia Eddie don't think they sell nae snowballs there and it will be a case of 2 buy or not 2 buy I'm dubia 😊 enjoy yourself cheers
There is a hidden carpark up the west coast of Skye where you can see seals and dolphins.
I thought Dundee was a dump until I saw your video. Watching it, I was like, "Wow they really cleaned the place up!"
Aye, it's surprisingly pleasant on a nice day now. Eddy didn't go there, but the Perth Road area is pretty lively these days to, with lots of nice pubs & Georgian architecture.
Dundee is awesome now.. not as much going on as Edinburgh etc but the food standard and choices are amazing. I’m not a drinker but they have some really old bars still there. I enjoy a day there
Scotland isn’t the boonies!! We have petrol stations in Scotland 🏴 we even have inside toilets 😉
I live across the river from Dundee and its a great place. Base yourself there and pop over here to the wonderful Kingdom of Fife. Visits to St Andrews and the East Neuk fishing villages are a must
@GillyMac The East Neuk is beautiful in Fife. Great Fish and Chips in Anstruther. 🏴
I go to the beach so etimes to watch the dolphins im on the coast of the north sea in Scotland
🎉oh got try tablet macaroon ,& dumpling
Scotland's tiny, mate. You'll always be able to find a petrol station, and the mobile coverage is pretty well universal here. Glad you enjoyed my home city of Dundee. Come back any time. Added bonus, the east coast midge is far calmer.
Rule of thumb whatever country you drive in...the driver should always be seated on the white line in the middle of the road.
