Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a travelling van life family who self-converted their dream house on wheels - we now live full-time in our Sprinter van called Cooper as we do a full lap of our home Australia.
Hey everyone!! Welcome to a brand new series - so excited to take you around Scotland - let us know where we should go, see and eat :) thanks so much!!
Take hunter to the little world of play she will love it, the coco factory in the borders is great fun to. If you get the chance visit one of the castles- Stirling, Edinburgh or linlithgow 🏴
is Machrie Moor, Stonehenge? It looks a lot like it...I've been to Scotland. It is absolutely GORGEOUS! Rainy though (which I guess works well for them as it keeps the grass and trees looking so lush and green) I wanted to see where my descendants came from and see the history and experience the culture (I am a little bit Scottish and a little bit Irish...next on my Bucketlist is Ireland...I think I may be a little bit Swedish and Polish too...I think I heard my parents say that once)
I'm headed to Scotland in a few days to hike the West Highland Way all the way up to Fort William! I'm getting all the vibes from your videos. Hope you enjoy the rest of your travels ~
Can you please visit Japan 🇯🇵 ? I would like to explore it through your amazing vlogs
I missed you guys, I live just up the coast from Ardrossan. I'm packing to come back from Menorca. Sunrise over Loch Ness is stunning....or Loch Tay for that matter. Deffo give Aberfoyle a visit. David Marshall Lodge has a massive zip wire through the trees and hides where you can go watch the red squirrels. The views are amazing x
As a proud Scotsman I'm glad you're enjoying this brilliant wee country! 🏴🏴
aww so glad!! thanks for tuning in! where abouts you from?
@@flyingthenest wee town called Bellshill, about 8 miles south east of Glasgow 🥴🥴
@@flyingthenest ps fun fact,I live near the place where the world famous Tunnocks Teacakes are made... you should try them🥴😅
I love your country! I live in canada but I left my heart there!
It’s unreal to see how quickly we are seeing Hunter grow up right before our eyes! Can’t wait to see this Scotland series!
i knowww!! having these videos and being able to look back on old ones really shows how quickly shes growing
Hunters excitement at everything just makes you smile, she’s a proper little chatterbox 😂. Scotland is beautiful ❤
hehe she loves life
Hunter's commentary
is literally the best thing about these videos. My heart!!!!
hahaha she does crack us up!
Can Hunter get anymore adorable 😊. She is growing up so fast. Her language is brilliant...oh yes and the islands were beautiful to!
hehe
Hunter talking is the cutest thing ever 😍
You are seriously the cutest family ever and Hunter is the funniest and most adorable girl in the World! I can't get enough of your videos
I just found your channel in the last month and I had hesitations about a channel with a toddler - but your daughter is just so adorable it actually adds to the experience! Look so forward to your weekly travels and so glad you take us along!
aww thank you so much! I think we will be uploading twice a week for the rest of the year :)
I seriously love Hunter. I can just listen to her do a whole video. Her vocabulary is so expansive. Smart girl indeed oh yeah and Scotland was nice too 😂❤️❤️
I love your channel. It’s the perfect balance between adult conversation/interests and cute kid interactions/activities. ❤
Watching the World through Hunter’s eyes 👀 is so entertaining! 💕❤️
I sooo Loved this video little hunter is adorable & her speech is fabulous that’s all down to you both your amazing parents 🥰♥️
So glad you decided to visit Scotland. It's a very beautiful country.
OMG Hunter with the Turkeys! "You come eat food here!!!" Too freaking adorable!
hahahaha quite forcefull with her feeding time
Such a wonderful start to the Scotland series!! Hunter really is talking so much now 😀
Jess is right with the tatties pronunciation, tat rhymes with hat 😀
i know!! so many new words every day!
Love you guys.
Great video.
Cool that the alpacas had the same haircut as Steve. Hunter had such a great time in the puddles - worth traveling halfway around the world for!😉
Looking forward to the next instalment.
PUDDLE! I love watching Hunters joy as she travels. 💃🏻🥳It's the little things. Great to see the ferries around Scotland. Looks like such a great way to explore!!
I love travelling around Scotland & how you put together you vlogs...... But I have to say Hunter really is becoming a little star 🌟
Seeing the world through Hunters eyes just warms my heart!
Great tour guys looking forward to seeing more of Scotland! ~Cara 💖
aww thanks so much excited for you to see the next episode!
You're living my dream. I have always wanted to go to Scotland. Great video. Beautifully shot. Loved Hunter's reaction to the animals. She's getting so smart.
aww so glad to hear!! its so worth visiting such a stunning country
Welcome back to the UK 🇬🇧
I am so envious! Scotland is on my bucket list! My Paternal grandparents were from there :)
Being from Scotland, I absolutely loved this video and can't wait for this series! Arran is the closest island to where I live and I've been a few times. Hunter is really precious, hope you all have a great time in this country! 🏴
ETA: Jess was right, it's tatties said in the way where tat rhymes with hat.
Oh so glad youve been to Arran we LOVED it! shame our time was so short coudl easily just hang out and enjoy the views
scotland is stunning & i can’t wait to see more from this series, i love how you find all the hidden places, wow that fish in a bag! watching hunter is a joy, her vocabulary is developing so fast, you are amazing parents 🥰

haha awww we've been so lucky having Hunter!
Wow Scotland is GORGEOUS 😍 ❤️
HUNTER IS AMAZING, HER AND THE ANIMALS WERE ADORABLE 💛💜
❤ ❤
Oo Scotland holds a special place in my heart. I have a feeling this is going to be my most favourite series to date! 🏴 There’s nothing quite like the Scottish landscapes and scenery’s. They will take your breath away ❤ Enjoy soaking them in. Sending love from Perth 🇦🇺
I loved watching this video. You really showed my country off beautifully ❤️🏴
I love Scotland so much. Hunter is adorable. What an amazing way to grow up. You guys are so great!
Scotland is an amazing place to visit! I live not far, over in the Lake District,England... another place you should visit, just as stunning
I grew up in Scotland!! So fun seeing you there! I so wish I could go back. I've been back in the States since I was a teenager, but I was small when we moved to Dundee and have such wonderful memories. I really miss it! Thank you for your amazing channel! Also, definitely try black pudding with your breakfast. I loved it as a kid. Also, eat some beans on toast somewhere and get some Irn-Bru to drink!! My obsession with Indian food started there too. Man, I miss it!!!
The cow with the cool hairstyle is sooo cute
Even as big as he is would be ok as pet. Such gorgeous place I hope to visit someday
Hoping to travel the NC500 around Scotland in the next 2 years, this is making us so excited!! Loved this episode!
The food you ate looked amazing! Scotland is amazing - this video made us want to go back ASAP ❤️
You guys are amazing parents ❤
Just loooove Hunter greeting all the animals (even the stuffed ones xD ), she's adorable!!!
i absolutely adore scotland and can’t wait for this series!!!
yay! got another episode comign tomorrow for ya
Thanks much for the fun day🏴
So loving the Scotland series and Hunter adds so much to the enjoyment especially with her zest for life and love for discovery. Hunter by name and by nature. The photography and editing is superb. Can’t wait to find out where you’re visiting next. Xxxx ❤
aww so glad you enjoyed it!! Scotland is such a treat!
Oh you guys thank you so much, I've always had a memory of visiting somewhere as a child with my parents and never knew where it was until watching this again thank you! Means the world to me xx
Steve and Jess - I have been with you since around year two of your journey. I have watched the two of you grow into an amazing couple, amazing UA-cam story tellers, and now amazing parents of your precious Hunter. Thanks for doing what you do and entertaining us. Safe travels!
Love watching Hunters language explode! Well done reading to her and filling her life with books while traveling. Fantastic content as always, thank you!! 💕🙏🏼
i know its been so magical to watch it!
What a beautiful country Scotland is.
"Eat the food from Hunter'.
These are the Hunter lines that now I will keep rewinding in my mind to de-stress lol.
These lines have dethroned the previous Hunter lines I was using to de-stress: "Oh, there's more! There's people!" from one of the Switzerland videos :)
Thank you so much for sharing all the cuteness of your family and the beauty of the places you visit :)
hehe she does have some hillarious catch-phrases
@@flyingthenest a few seconds before when interacting with the bunny and giving them food she was saying, "Eat... Me...". I guess trying to convey the same thing. Amazing how few seconds later she was able to find the right words to put her point across :) Thank you.
It’s so lovely seeing the UK through other peoples eyes. Even though we have been here for four years now and travelled quite a bit, and this has given us so much inspiration for a last trip to Scotland before moving back home to QLD next year. Last time we went we visited The Kelpies (amazing) and my husband had haggis crumbled over his hot dog - could not bring myself to do this.
Whilst you’re over this side of the world, if you come to England and get the opportunity I would definitely recommend Dover Castle and the two war tunnels that are on that site. If you’re a fan of Call The Midwife, and interesting history - Chatham Dockyards is also great…Hunter would enjoy them both.
aww wow so glad you to hear you got some ideas!! definetly enjoy how close the world is when you are in Soctland haha as amazing as QLD is def a little far :P
She Adorable melted my heart when Hunter says " Food from Hunter " soo love your vlogs 🧡😊
hehe eat food from hunter!
@@flyingthenest I think you got a good name there for a cafe should you ever diverse into food .🤣🤣🤣
I’m from Scotland 🏴 ❤
I have always dreamed of seeing Scotland since my family tree goes back to there as an Anderson. I never made it and now retired at 69 living on Maui, I probably never will. But I must say after watching this video through her eyes I now have that dream back again!! What an awesome video! Glad I found you through #weareKingingit! I wanted to start back in the beginning to see all your videos but you are making it hard lately not to cheat and watch current ones!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 Go Highland Coo!
so glad you’re loving our country ❤🏴
My heart. Hunters POOL DAY. TAKE OFF! I love how Hunter says all the words so well, then lets fly with a mouthful of excitement and is harder to understand.
Hunter is sooooo smart!! You guys are amazing 💜
I really really want to come up and explore Scotland now!!! Definitely travel down and visit snowdonia, the Welsh mountains are extremely beautiful
aww hope you can! Yes we LOVE Wales cant wait to see more of it
let me just say that the camera quality is just amazing and it is so fun to watch you guys raise Hunter and still travel with your beautiful girl her little personality is just so cute. Can wait to keep watching her to grow up.
its been so fun taking her to all these incredible places!!
oh my god, if i knew you guys were in Glasgow earlier, I would have come and greet you and guide you around the city. So many good things to do in Scotland and it is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. If you are again in Glasgow, please let us know and maybe do a meet and greet? Enjoy your time up in the north !!!
I’m bummed too I live in Glasgow and would have loved this opportunity too I used to do walks for people in the necropolis I bet they would have loved that all the history and beautiful views
Hunter grows so fast so adorable 🥰
This is so lovely! I spent the last 4 years in Scotland for uni and just moved away recently. Some notes-celtic (when referring to anything other than the football club) is pronounced with a hard c (kel-tik). Tatties is pronounced with a short a (as you originally pronounced them). And although that part of Glasgow uni is beautiful, I have 3 very close people to me who all went there and all hated it😂. Hope you enjoyed the Highlands-it will forever be home to me
aww yes haha we try our best with the pronounciation but do fall short some times!
@@flyingthenest of course! I embarrassed myself for years with my aussie pronunciations in Scotland 😂
So happy you're exploring Scotland, it's at the top of my travel list! 💜
Its such a beautiful spot!
I can't wait to see more of Glencoe and Isle of Skye. So glad you are in Scotland. Took my 81 year old mom last summer and she wants to go back this summer. I am just so excited to show her this series! 😍
thats next ;-)
First in Switzerland and now in Scotland! My two favorites places in the world!! Looking forward to seeing this next amazing series, most of all the Highlands!!! Such wild, green, vibrant and full of energy places... you can feel the history there! Food also looks amazing. Enjoy :)
aww wow!! whats next on your list ;-)
@@flyingthenest I'm thinking about the United Stated West Coast and Banff in Canada :) You have several inspiring videos there, I will watch them again for great ideas ;)
Oh my goodness!!! I have been following you guys for years (love your videos) and I'm from Arran!!! So glad you were able to visit this beautiful spot! If you ever head back can give you a list of hidden gems!!
Scotland is absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy for you. Have lots of fun 😀
aww thank you!!
Awww I’m so glad you seemed to enjoy it as I’ve loved your videos for years and also from Scotland and live in the town across from arran on mainland it’s such a beautiful place to go and so much to do 😊
Those drone shots with bagpipe is pure epic
I am soo sad to have missed you! I'm from a little town called Troon. Not too far from Ardrossan, can even see the Isle of Arran from my top window💙
I have a 3 year who absolutely loves watching Hunter🥰
My son (1.5 yrs) and I love watching your videos! He usually just calls the videos "Hunter," with the Australian accent (we are Norwegian!) because he loves seeing her play and explore.
Scotland looks amazing! We love your videos, you guys inspired us to give vlogging a go!
Great video! And Hunter is so cute! Welcome to Bonny Scotland. 🏴 😀
I been watching your videos for a while now and wow I have to admit this makes me want to start a family even though I want to be single for ever. Amazing people you guys are
I was in Scotland the last two weeks of June. Absolutely loved it and hope to return in the next year or so. Only trains and a heck of a lot of walking! Isle of Skye, Inverness, Glasgow & Edinburgh were the main stops and all were marvellous. The castles, coos and churches were astounding.
oh nice!! wow you saw so many spots!
Can confirm it's pronounced 'tah-tays' and not 'tay-tays'. Great to have you guys back in Scotland again - hope you have the best time!
Hunter talking makes me so emotional. She’s grown up so fast.
she needs to slow down!!
Gorgeous ! Very serene and calming atmosphere!
😍 Yeah!!! Have a great time! Scotland in autumn is stunning. My heart's free there...
I love it when Hunter takes her socks off and says it’s nice! I wholeheartedly agree with Hunter, it does feel good going barefooted! Btw, welcome to the U.K.! Thank you for going to some breathtaking islands in Scotland. The fish looked amazing, was drooling! I too, fix my fish in a bag and put whatever herbs, veggies and seasoning that takes my fancy. Thank you for sharing your adventure in Scotland with us, once again you always find the most interesting places to show us! You pronounced “ tattles “ correctly! Btw, sticky toffee pudding is my favourite dessert! Can’t wait for your next adventure!
haha we died of laughing when she did that!
Love that you're in Scotland. Great vlog. We will be there for our 1st time fall of 2023. Cannot wait! Looking forward to more vlogs in Scotland.
Omg that's amazing!! I'm from Scotland, grew up in the North East of Scotland! 🏴💙 very exciting to see you exploring scotia! 🏴💙🙌🤩🥰
Good tip buy a huge thin scarf to use as picnic blanket 🙃
We did that while traveling in Italy and it came very handy and doesn’t occupy any space
I have enjoyed every minute of your trip in Scotland. Hunter is such an adorable, happy child and she has brought some memories back to me of my children at that age, especially the puddles. A very nice counting book for her. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to watching more of your adventures.
Noway!! We are from Glasgow and watched you in Italy a few weeks ago, we are now in Italy watching yous in Glasgow 🤣🤣, hope yous had the best time. We are going on the Bernina express thanks to you're travels x
Great vlog as always! Scotland is a must go to. Little ms has grown like an oak and talks like a DJ. Good job Hunter! Keep up the good work! Be safe!
oh wow, already in Scotland, cant believe the Italy trip is already over. :D can't wait for more of these beautiful vlogs
Scotland is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
Awww i had sooo much fun watching this video!😍🥰 I've been so curios about Scotland and now I'm mooore! I wish one day i got the chance to visit it ()
Hunter is talking so much now! When you waited for the second ferry, I even heard her speaking German 😂 She said „Schiff fahren“ (when you both asked sorry) which means going by boat 😊
At 11:29
YES I thought I was the only one who clearly heard her speak German 😅
I thought she said "so far ..for ride" ..but I hear the German too also.
I recommend going to Isle of Mull, Iona and if you can do the puffin islands. Scotland is absolutely breathtaking! If you go back to main land definitely take a visit to the Highland Chocolatier near Pitlochry! Also there’s a Jacobite train from fort William, close to Oban, that goes across the Glenfinnan Viaduct to Mallaig, there’s stunning beaches near Mallaig. Enjoy Scotland 🏴
So much joy with your family and all your exploring. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been viewer for years and I cannot believe you are here where I live in Ayrshire. Hope you all had an amazing time! ❤
By size of country, we definitely punch above our weight. I'm proud of the diverse country I'm from and live in, one of the best even if I'm biased 😀. Great video guys, a pleasure watching ure videos wherever you go. 🥰 👍
Welcome to Scotland!
This is amazing! So proud!
I'm currently temporarily living in Glasgow for work and I was just at the Hidden Lane Tea Lane yesterday! It was just as fun as you made it look!
I'm really enjoying your photography- thank you!
Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing guys
Ahhhh you're in Scotland!! Welcome!
If you're doing more than just the islands in Scotland you have to drive up to Glencoe...the scenery is breathtaking and an absolute must see, Loch Shiel to see Glenfinnan Viaduct-used in the Harry Potter films and then up to loch ness (Nessie!) or to the Moray Firth area where you may see a few dolphins. The Cairngorms are beautiful too-there you can visit the UK's only wild reindeer herd-Hunter would absolutely love it as you can get up close and feed them! This is such a lovely video, Hunter with animals is just so cute and Mount Stuart looks stunning!! Enjoy the rest of your time here!
