I. Miss. Scotland!
Never made it to the Isle of Arran, and how gorgeous it is! Couple of things Shaun: your choice of music for this piece is beautiful, peaceful and lulls you along while watching (well done); your drone footage sets your vlogs apart from others and only gets better and better. The heather colors in Autumn prove to be spectacular and thank you for touching on things this magnificent spot has to offer (AND the Rabbie Tours link). Thanks, Shaun...
I used to live in Ardrossan and my Step dad worked on the ferry to Arran. We could see Arran from our house as it was on the beach. The best years of my childhood were living in Scotland and I haven't been home in over 15 years. I'm half Scottish half English and currently live in England. Thanks for doing your videos it brings a piece of home to me ❤️ can't wait to come back
Yes we want more culture from Scotland that is true!
I love these vlogs so much. Makes me so excited to come to Scotland. I’m going for the first time in September 2019. Coming from the mountains of NC. You bet my mom and I will be sporting Fraser’s ridge shirts for our trip. 🙂🦄🏴
Wishing you and yr Mom an amazing time in Scotland...hope you get to meet the great Adventure Everything man...Shaun😊👍
Hey Shaun! I am happy that you made a video about Arran. I am planning on going back to Scotland, and couldn't decide the 2d place to go, until I bumped in to Rabbie's (did a tour with them before, from Inverness) Isle of Arran tour. And now found your video precisely on that. Now I decided. Arran it is. It is so beautiful!!! You rock Shaun! And so does Scotland!
I’m hoping to visit Scotland when I grow up. It’s so full of culture and nature and that’s what I like
I love coos! We have a small fold. Fun fact, the black coos (kyloe) come from the Outer Hebrides islands and are smaller. The ginger coos come from the highlands and are a bit bigger.
All the Rabbie's driver guides probably have the same playlist the songs are cheesy but I love it. And I love Scotland! Love to go back there one day!
Hello, Shaun. I loved this video! Everything was/is so beautiful: the countryside, both castles, and the quick tour of the distillery was interesting. While in Scotland, I sampled some great whiskeys in the highlands, though we did not go to any distilleries (we were on a dead run for 20 days & couldn't squeeze in the whiskey trail unfortunately; next time for sure!). My brother-in-law decided to hand feed a highland cow (a handful of grain of some kind); YIKES, he was massively slimed 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 And, that was an interesting fact about highland cattle being black originally. I fell in Love with the Isle of Arran! These travel vids you are doing in Scotland are GREAT! Something that interests me are the underground tunnels/caverns beneath the city of Edinburgh; have you thought about doing that? I saw it on the National Geographic Channel here in the States; it was fascinating & full of history...just an idea 😎 Keep bringing your fantastic videos to us! Many Thanks, Lindsay, Sacramento, California. Cheers! 🇺🇸
My aunties are from Arran, and holy shit it's stunning. This video absolutely does the island justice, truly awesome. Thank you!
Thank you Shaun. I love the country and the drone footage was fantastic. It makes me realize just how bad life must have been there, in the past, that made my ancestors leave such a beautiful place to come to the US.
Also Shaun, did you know that Highland cows were one of the breeds used to create Texas Longhorn cattle here in the US?!? Love your videos, man. Keep up the good work.
Oooooooooo blue standing stones..... Oooooooooo castle..... Ooooooooooo Whisky distillery...... Speyside, Glen Moran, Glen Fiddich, Lagavulln, Johnnie Walker, and Belviene.
Absolutely stunning!!! And the drone footage really puts everything into perspective. Putting Arran on my TO DO list immediately as the isle looks gorgeous. I’m so glad you introduced us to Rabbie’s Tours. I will definitely give them a try when I’m in Scotland! PS-I had to go online and find a World Peace Tartan scarf after you wore it in one of your vlogs last fall (the dogging vlog???). eBay had a vendor from Scotland with very reasonable prices. World Peace looks terrific on you! Thank you for the tranquil Thursday vlog on Arran! Stay safe my friend! 🏴❤️
Carrie Streeter thanks so much Carrie, my friend gave me it as a birthday gift last year and I love it 😊🙌
Looks like you took the old bridge back to Edinburgh. Our tour guide did as well and told us why he was the only vehicle, only after we safely crossed :-O lol
Remind me so much memory form my scoland travel last summer. I got to come back to see the beauty of scotland again
This was wonderful Shaun
Thank you
Brenda Baker so glad you liked it 😊
Just lovely scenery! Thanks for always sharing your beautiful country! Like I’ve said before...Someday, Scotland...Someday. 🤞🤞
Scotland never disappoints!
a whiskey distillery, Arran, standing stones & coos!
(I got a picture of a black baby coo at Clava Cairns in April '18)
- is that a World Peace tartan? 🤔
What a great trip you had, thanks for taking us with you 😉💙
I love Arron and the ferry over is quite enjoyable too. AWESOME footage, I will need to get back for a vlog one day!
Mate you missed spelled Arran
I was so Lucky to grow up in the highlands and walk the Heather covered hills, walk home along the beach from school three miles each day opposite the Black Isle, pick berries for jam in the woods and climb trees! We grew up fearless and healthy. Great video again Shaun. Just a detail, Jamies motto is ' Je suis prest' , mine is ' Tout Prest' !
Isle of Arran a definite must see when I come to Scotland. Such stunning drone footage and so PICTURESQUE! Another great vlog Shaun! Thanks for taking us all on your journeys. Blessings always my friend. 💜
Watch me discover Rabbie Burn's birthplace: ua-cam.com/video/MnAUsw1DrJc/v-deo.html
Shaun, I really loved your visuals , camera work and editing on this video.....Your camera skills show the countryside so beautifully, It's just breath taking. Thanks...I'll watch this one again. Outstanding.
Ah your just across the water from me I live in a small town called Kilwinning in north Ayrshire you should go to the Largs Viking museum then head down the duel carriage way to Kilwinning and go to see the Abbie where there was a dig a few years ago trying to find a golden goblet in tunnels that lead to eglinton castle. Plus apparently the declaration of Arbroath was written by the Kilwinning monks. It’s feels weird to know my small town has so much history but anyway enjoy your time there. Here is a link to info on eglinton castle it’s pretty interesting if you use the satellite map in the website you can see what remains of the mansion/castle but unfortunately we don’t have a distillery down here sorry!
I love going to castles and towers like that and imagining what it was like in its heyday, with people walking around and furnishings and basically what daily life was like.
Hi Shaun 👋 Wow Scotland is so beautiful 🏴 and so are the people. Can't wait to go back maybe next year 🤞Love Ashley MacIsaac he's a Canadian boy 🇨🇦. Mull of Kintyre is such a beautiful song 🎶 Inveraray took me back I was there in 2016. Highland cows are amazing animals.
Maybe one day I will see you in Scotland😊
I has a single malt that was my favorite years ago that was aged in Sherry casks, might be called Glenroth. My father was a Scot & passed 2 years ago aged 91 here in Florida. he had a scotch every night just 1 drank like a gentleman . One day i'll get back into Scotch whisky but now it's 2 pints of light beer a day fro me.
Omg i think this is the place for my next Scotland visit :)! This year I walked West Highland Way and I am in love with Scotland nature :)
Ooww I was so close to Arran a few months ago (I was in Ayr) but I did not go there. It’s so beautiful! I’m sure I’ll come back to visit Arran
Fantastic video Shaun. I have visited Arran a few times now but have only ventured north mainly wild camping. The standing stones look awesome at Machrie. I really need to get there. I love the distillery also and I hear what you are saying about single malts and you are absolutely correct, it is purely a taste and preference thing, but the one I would always recommend and friends/family all seem to like is Balvennie Doublewood 12 year old. The drone footage is awesome my friend. Excellent video, keep them coming.
NIck
Studying is so not important 😂 *when Shaun uploads a video* and would it be okay to drink from that lake ?
Thank you for sharing. When I come to Scotland I will definitely take a few of these tours.
Being a Hamilton it's really lovely to see .🥰
Your best one so far. I did a Jack Daniels Distillery tour and taste test. They have one at 135 proof straight from the barrel that is super. Unfortunately the samples are small.
Breathtaking Shaun
I've just woke up, and this video is the first thing I see this morning. Thank you Shaun for such beautiful, peaceful, and really GOOD morning!
This was awesome. My ex-father in law raised Highland cattle. I’ll have to share this with him!
Once I pull myself together, I want to travel again. Scotland is first on my list, thanks to the inspiration of Shaun. Okay, and Sam. But he and I share a birthday!
Very interesting particularly about highland cows , have you been tip ISLE OF Lewis and particularly Callanish stones . Years ago I went to ISLE of Arran and also saw Isle of GIGGA. AND GARDEN there , great video . Thanks .
Lovely footage Shaun! I always look forward to your videos!
Watching this makes me realise how much more I need to see in Scotland! I cannot wait to come back and do more exploring...
Yay, thanks for visiting. I stay across from Arran in Ayrshire. We see it on many a clear day. It is a beautiful, beautiful island. Known as Scotland in Miniature. The kids from here take a weeks trip in P7 over there and I hear cloud base is the highlight of their stay. The views from atop Goat Fell is stunning. In fact a guy on facebook took amazing photographs. Check out his photographs on facebook.com/PribbeckPhotography/ This island is absolutely stunning. The views over to this island are stunning. There is a bit of an optical illusion going on in parts of Ayrshire. So whilst you have Arran in the background, it looks incredibly close depending on where you stand. For instance, Ardrossan, parts of that area and taking a photograph or even just standing there looking at it, it looks like you could just walk down the road and get onto Arran pretty quickly. When you stand at Saltcoats south beach however, it looks incredibly far away. Also, legends say that King Robert the Bruce, hid in a cave on Arran when he was fleeing the English soldiers. Other legends say, the island is actually Avalon where King Arthur went to. Whether it's true or not, is not for me to say. One thing is certain, we do love a good story in Scotland and are really good at telling stories. Paddy's milestone, another story, it was taken from the peaks of Arran by a giant and thrown into the water. Far fetched stories are a thing in Scotland, just look at nessie and haggis hunting LOL . xx
Love your touring videos!!
Love it Shaun!! Scotland is so amazing, I want to come back! Thanks for your vids, love em! :) Kim
AngelDreamCrafts thanks so much 🙌
What a great way to start my day at this end of the world! Thanks once again Shaun for such an interesting vlog. Now I'm off to have my porridge 😀
You take awesome videos. I love the standing stones. I have dreamed of a dolman.
Beautiful. Will be there next spring!
Slightly Stacked you’ll love it 🙌
Such a beautiful place! Thank you for this blog topic and these locations!! Informative, and so lovely.
Hell even Scottish cows are awesome 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️ never seen cows with errr umm long hair ... grandpas dairy cows didn’t have lush cool fur! Haha Scotland is so beautiful. I can’t wait to see it for myself! I love your videos
Amazing views!! You have a really good eye for capturing that beauty! More videos of those cows please :P
Again love your videos mate!
Loved this vlogger shaun, tight edited and very informative, hope to join you on your tours next year!
Wow! How beautiful. Another fantastic video. Thank you Shaun! 🤗
Looks so interesting and fun! Thank you, Shaun!
Oh wow I definitely need to get to Arran soon! Love this
Wow!! Arran looks amazing! And what a tour! Castles, standing stones, distilleries.
We have to visit! Always wanted to visit Arran distillery too.
Once again you have captured the beauty of Scotland with your drone footage and camera. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I would love to hear some of the stories you heard. Thank you!
This is such a great share! Awesome idea of when to go to Scotland as well!
Beautiful tour!
Well that was fantastically gorgeous. Had fun going along with you. 👍🏼
I like Macallan. Abelour is pretty good too.
Cannot wait to return. I’ve seen stones and the Aberlemno stones stand out. Arran looks gorgeous. Great vid!
Absolutely Amazing Video Shaun
Thank you sooo much
♡Cheers♡
Omg so beautiful!
That wasn't Glen Sannox ....that path is north of the Sannox Glen on the road to Loch Ranza. ...
That brought back some memories, it's been years since I was there. I remember visiting the distillery when it opened and a year later and I have a bottle of the first run of whisky, it's clear and not advised to be drank but it's a nice keepsake.
Lochranza castle looked good, there used to be a ruined cottage in the bushes to the right of it which gave great pictures... did you notice if the old church is still an artists B&B?
Loved the Machrie stones, got some great pictures there too.
I enjoyed the video.
@Shaun, this was an amazing vlog. I have to know what kind of drone you used in that wind! Truly awesome footage.
Wow! I had a lovely time watching your video! So wish I could come to Scotland! Loved the Standing Stones, the castle ruins, (what was the name of the castle ruins?) And so much more! Too bad we couldn't go inside the castle with you! I love your vlogs! Thank you!
Another great vid 😎
LL Love Pop thanks so much 😊
You should do a tour of herrin's wall! Sorry if i missed spelled that! I'm pretty positive the second wall is in Scotland but the First wall maybe in England. I love geography but it's not my greatest subject lol :)
WHEN you come back to Texas, I would be willing to take you on a distillery tour of the Texas Hill Country. Some do whisky, most do vodkas and moonshine made from cactus. I will be the designated driver, you can be the designated drunk.
P.S. one of my Gunn clansmen and his wife raise the ginger Hieland coos up north of Dallas, btw.
No no no no no...there’s nothing worth drinking from this state-unless you count Dr. Pepper from Waco. Stick with your Scottish whisky. 🥃
@@carriestreeter5313 I don't know about any of the whisky distilleries as I always am driving between Kerrville and Temple. HOWEVER the Hill Country Distillery in Comfort,TX does moonshine from cactus. Their coffee and Orange liquers are outstanding! And just like our wineries, they are all improving. But true, NOTHING can beat a good Scottish single malt. This is why my dear friends, Frank and Lynne Leslie of Kempner, TX, and Clans Leslie and Wallace, have instituted Single Malt Saturday Night. Hunt me down in two weeks at the Clan Gunn Society of NorthAmerica tent in Salado and we can maybe get Frank to give us a wee dram on November 10th! Slainte' mhath!
Besides, what do you have against Shiner Bock and the other brews out of the Spoetzel brewery in Shiner,TX ?
@1807retthom no, not really. The majority of the Texas Clan Gunn members live in Dallas and Odessa, Texas. I am one of the Lonesome Polecats here in the Hill Country.
yes, arran is a beauty!
leelee 77 love it 😊🙌
@@shaunvlog did you see any deers at lochranza castle?
Shaun, while you were on Arran or the Mull, did you learn about your family history? How those locations led to your family history to Culloden?
Just...Beautiful. Thanks. LK
JD Do thank you 😊
Want a proper tour of places in Arran I'll be happy to accommodate. ...Boaby and Lorna can help ...after the lock up we plan on walking from Sannox to Brodick via Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa but you'll need a head for hights folks ...
Just get yourselves there bring a tent and we'll camp on the west coast free of charge wherever your from in the world😆
Enjoyed the island tour and the black highland cattle. May I ask what camera(s) you use indoors/outdoors??
this is the isle my family is from!!!! i belong to the hendry's!!
Scotland
MrSoBitchy 🙌🙌🙌
Shaun did you go to Inveraray jail because apparently it’s pretty good my mum always wanted to take us up there because the last time we went was when I was very young unfortunately she lost her life in July but I want to go now. But thanks for the content very well edited aswell on ya go pal!
Is the Scotch Whisky Heritage Museum still open in Edinburgh? I went there years ago and it was fascinating.
Aye
Did you miss the Highland cows here at Culzean Shaun?
That's where I live
Uisge Beatha, " water of life ". Better known as whiskey.
I think Mull of Kintyre song should be the background theme song, what you think?
I wish. Sadly they’d get me for copyright 🙃
Did you mention a discount code?
What would you have done if that stone had fallen over when you pushed it? Not that thousands haven’t already done that.
How many standing stones are there in Scotland?
Lots and Lots Emily .
My name is Arran after the island
Do you have a promo code for a discount with Rabbies ?
🙋♀️
I went on goatfell
Me and my mum got lost
Hahah sounds like Arryn in GOT
