On Valentine's Day 2021, Men in Kilts launched in the US by network Starz - which should also later appear on Amazon Prime in the UK. My viewers asked me to do an early review, but it couldn't happen as @Starz left me off the PR invite list :(
Men in Kilts is a Scottish travel documentary series by Outlander actors Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish. The lads go off on a mission to discover some of the things they act about in Outlander.
So since I couldn't see the show in the UK, I decided to make this video with my Scottish pal John Loughton as we went for a hike!

#Outlander #Meninkilts
I'm from America and I think it's ridiculous that we get to see it and the UK doesn't yet.
It's just damn rude! As always though, it's about the greedy buggers and $$$$$$! I'm an American, and I watched them on PBS, then waited on the Downton Abbey DVD's. I'll have to decide about buying Outlander.
Ditto! It's just wrong.
Agreed. Hopefully they'll get to see it soon!
It’s Merry and Pippin!
Now that's funny!!
Mate, you could call yourselves, "The Ginger Nuts". Well done getting up there, it would have killed me. Stay safe buddy
The severe cold would have been too much for me, and THEN there was the strenuous exercise! I totally enjoyed watching you guys while snuggling with my little dog in front of my cozy fireplace! Thanks so very much!!!❤️
Thank you Shaun! As much as I enjoy Outlander, Sam Hueghan, Graham McTavish, & Scotland. I enjoy you,your travels, your family. & your vlogs.Thank You.
If it's any consolation, whenever there's a popular British series (i.e. Downton Abbey), Americans have to wait to watch it here. You know that the problem isn't the technology, so we must all be victims of the marketing.
And if a digital copy is purchased, it’s the British version we American’s get. The only real difference is the intro, which I did actually prefer.
During the pandemic, a lot of us in the US have discovered the fantastic shows the Brits make. Esp murder mysteries.
I almost fainted. British TV can never console someone that wants Scottish TV. England is not Scotland. 🏴 Just call me Gieliss Dougl McTavish.
Heughnan and McTavish have got to worry with you and John putting on such a fun presentation. Love every bit of yours. Thanks for sharing.
Needs to be a cross over....like in Shaun of the Dead when the 'parallel crew' and Shaun's crew meet..... 😁
I love it all, there’s a woman also going around Scotland I can’t remember her name she went to all the castles it was good I love it all
Oh my gosh Shaun, love the beautiful winter scenery and your friends awesome poem! Love the red hair too! Thank you both for taking me...all of us on this wintery journey. So beautiful! Blessings always. 🌷💜🙏
So glad you like it. Thanks for watching ☺️
@@shaunvlog It made my evening, my friend. Hope you have a wonderful week. Stay safe and tell Teka hello .
The trek was thoroughly enjoyable, man; I especially appreciated the well-maintained continuity. The footage also had a wholeness to it that one finds when actually experiencing an event, e.g., the good and rough that accompany all experiences that, if any are left out, would leave it lacking. I feel I was there. Thank you, Shaun.
Thanks Jim really appreciate that 😊
"Hello" from the Appalachian piedmont (aka, Atlanta). Have not caught Men in Kilts and, tbh, it probably won't make it into my queue, but, the moment I saw an advert for the series, my very first thought was: Shaun has been doin' this sort of thing for years already! Maybe not in a kilt, but you've been adventuring us around all parts of Scotland for many years now. You're the most engaging storyteller and no one else has your style of humor. You keep us laughing, even in tough times. Your cinematography of Scotland is mesmerizing, always. Hey!...you could always start a mock travel series called: "Men Without Kilts". :D Nothing against the other guys - just prefer Shaunvlogs.
Sophia Holland...love your comment. ❤
OTOH, they can't give us a view of Sam Heughan's butt...
@@Historian212 Featured plenty enough already in Outlander though, dyt? :)
Dearhearts, you gents must be crazy to get out in that cold. The landscape is stunning, but in that cold your ginger beards will start growing icicles. Thank you for all that you do.
Loved this Shaun!!! Way to icy, windy, snowy for me (I prefer balmy beach weather) but when you started with a McDonalds breakfast I knew I had to stay til the end 😂😂😂😂
I’m ready for your next adventure. And bring along your friend, his laugh is infectious.
See you Tuesday 👏🏼👏🏼
Looks like you fellas had a great time. Amazing view. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you so much for showing us the beauty of the snowy winds, the sounds of the winds & crunchiness of your steps, and the joy of others on the slope. It's so beautiful!!! Thank you so much for making the effort to get there. Made me itch to be there with you all.
I cant get over how gorgeous these wind and snow shots are. so moving to watch!
This is enchanting/humorous ... I don’t know what emotion that equals, but I love it. Your laughs alone are worth the watch. I lost 4 family members in 2019, all before covid, including my daughter, Laura. Now a sister of my heart has developed pancreatic cancer. I cry every day and find it hard to smile much less laugh. So you can imagine how wonderful your personality is to make me actually laugh. Thanks for everything and keep going. Much love, in remembrance of my daughter Laura, my mother Louise, my sister-in-law Barbara, and my mother-in-law Olga. 💕🐝 #Bee Kind
I’m so sorry to hear this :( sending love from Scotland
Cathyi Shaner...sending you much love Cathi. ❤
Sending love from Philadelphia!
@@donnabittner69 I’m in Allentown! I lost 2 more people for a total of 6 family members in those 2-1/2 years. Just passed the 3rd death-adversary of my daughter.
Shaun, I agree with everything you say, I have the ‘Clanlands’ book, the Audio book, the ‘Sassenach’ whisky, waited almost a year! worth the wait! I am an elderly Scottish/English lady, was it too much to ask! Intuition told me there would be no ‘Men in Kilts’ for us, but we do have two lovely Scottish red haired men, minus kilts, for obvious reasons, I have enjoyed your fabulous winter wonderland tour on 50ins T.V. I have named your venture above Edinburgh ‘Braveheart’s’ or, the Two Jolly Ginger ‘Nut’s’ bless you both for sharing the fun 🤩 from a new fan, a Scottish/English Rose 🌹 Slainte mhath!
The view is gorgeous there! The wind looks fierce!! Looks like a lot of fun skiing & snowboarding up there. Thank you for posting this video!! Very cool!😎👍
Thanks Shaun for taking me along with you - loved trekking through the snow with you guys 🥶
I watched Men in Kilts
HOWEVER, I certainly enjoyed the "EPIC Adventure of the Edinburg Gingerbeards"
Actually, more than Men in Kilts. They may be "famous" but you had a true adventure and brought us the glorious scenery of Scotland. 👊
Thank you, from Virginia ♥️
Aww thank you very much for the kind words
Loved seeing the snow blowing in the wind with the sunlight behind it .... SO beautiful! I enjoyed your live night time walk in Edinburgh too!
We don’t see much snow down in South Devon .... thanks for sharing, Shaun! 💕
From the mountains of Montana - that windswept mountain top was Epic !! Well done - what a great adventure - beautiful
How dare they leave Shaun of Scotland off the invite list!!!
I agree. How rude of them 😀
Got that right! Shaun is the UA-cam Scottish Ambassador and let's us know exactly what's happening in our ancestor's homeland! Thank you, Shaun!
@@JRR0013 He is one of them, true! Many of you don't seem to be aware of Adhàmh O Broin. He is the dialect coach for the Outlander cast. He teaches traditional Scots Gaelic (Gàidhlig) and he does videos of the Highlands. He is also trying to teach Gàidhlig to anyone who will learn in order to preserve Scottish tradition and help the rest of the world see the true Scotland without the UK influence. 🏴 Alba gu bràth!
I'm grateful to you Shaun for your travel advice and inspiration of Scotland. Because of you and your channel my sister and I (from Canada 🇨🇦) had a fabulous tour of Scotland in 2019 (some of our time with Rabbies Tours, because of your recommendations)! Considering what's happening now in the world, so glad we made the journey... And now have wonderful memories of a beautiful country. ❤️🏴 Thank you Shaun!!
I’m so happy to hear this Kate, thank you. Hope you can come back again 😊
I live in FL USA and watched Men In Kilts today which was the first episode which like you said was about food and drink and it was a good watch, but I was disappointed that there was no mention of the next episode. I watched it on Amazon Prime Starz channel. Your scenery is absolutely beautiful and makes me wish I was back in the mountain rather than here in the flat swampy land . I enjoyed your adventure as much as the Men in Kilts.
You're doing soooo much walking lately... Taking us to such lovely places and you were doing the lovely tours of Scotland long before Sam and Graham.....now you just need a book!
More please? That was fun and the scenery was beautiful.
This was so cool Shaun!!
Really absolutely loved you doing this with your friend as well! He is a riot!
Loved the banter and also loved the amazing and wonderful scenery!
The course thing is an epic idea! Please do it! I have Scottish ancestors and absolutely love you putting something like this together! How very exciting! ❤❤❤
I love it when you two bust out into laughter! It’s contagious! 👍🏼
I grew up on skis in California, near Yosemite, I love your video, the snow, the cold, just wanted to see you guys on skis!!
Love the blog today. I have experienced that Scottish wind. Brrr. Beautiful scenery! Thank you so much, Shaun.
Such a great comfort for us who have been waiting for Men in Kilts for years!☺ Thank you Shaun for making this video!🤩 And all the other cool videos about Scotland!❤️ I personally really enjoyed your tour of Edinburgh and the videos about Scottish legends (especially when you could show the places connected to them). Keep doing the great stuff! I hope your channel becomes very popular as you are contributing so much to the people who want to learn more about your country 🤗
PS: your friend somehow reminded me of Angus from Outlander😉
I remember being up there in the 80’s, digging trenches as part of my military training. Sitting in a trench, freezing cold and you could see the TV’s on in the houses in the distance
What a hike! I was cold watching you guys. 🥶 Good job reaching the top. Beautiful views. The wind and drifting snow reminded me very much of winters growing up in upstate New York. Freezing cold and feet of snow.
It is my number one goal to get to Scotland before i die. These vids are like a lifeline, thank you so much for making them! Very much appreciated. ❤
I’m so looking forward to this show!!
My God, Shaun! The views in this video are gorgeous! And the playfulness between you & your mate John is delightful. What fun!
Yay!!!!!! Thanks for showing us that beautiful countryside❤️❤️yay to the men in ginger!!!
I’m in Australia and soooo disappointed I can’t watch Men In Kilts😭 I can’t believe they aren’t showing it in the UK!
Such a fun outdoor adventure! Thanks for bringing us along, and I love watching the laughs and banter between you guys! 😄
What an incredible place! Absolutely stunning. Reminds me why I spent hours playing Skyrim. And Shaun is great with the camera.
Hi from Holland. Loved your version. Planning to visit Scotland in 2022 or 2023. Curious to your guide episodes.
Men in Kilts aired last night for my location. Although a big fan of Sam and the whole Outlander series...I was not impressed. The episode was short and their attention to what they were presenting was short. This video was fantastic! Thos snow shots with the wind were phenomenal. Be safe but aim for the stars! I would watch you two any day! You are very entertaining.
Well said.I 👍
Thank you Shaun, really enjoyed this and just wants me to come back there asap!
Beautiful scenery!! I remember how cold and windy it was on top of Ben Lawers in September - I can’t imagine what it must be like on top in the winter with snow!!
Being in North Carolina, USA, and having a subscription to "Starz" I saw Men IN Kilts. It's not a bad show, but it it 100% geared to the Scottish American audience. I like your vlogs as they are not a scripted show, made for TV. We Scottish Americans want the 100% real deal about Scotland. Part of us longs to be there and see it for ourselves, but a lot of us can't make it right now. I will come one day. If I had known you were in NC I would have driven to meet you. Keep up these vlogs Shaun, we love them here, and will continue to watch. Thanks
Just watched ! I am VERY late to the party,, Just started watching Outlander ! I am from Texas and have been to Scotland twice (instantly fell in love with the country) The first episode of Men in Kilts was food and whisky,, Two of my favorite things ! They visited Islay, truly the Mecca of whisky ! Watching both shows ONLY makes me want to visit AGAIN !! The entire state of Texas is under a winter storm warning !! It was the perfect night for me to make my favorite Scottish dish of all time CULLEN SKINK, and continue to binge watch Outlander !
Hope you are doing ok after the storm??
Can't understand why they haven't taken up your idea with you two. not everyone starts out being famous but you already have a following and we in Australia appreciate and enjoy your videos. You should come to Western Australia. there is a Scottish Criterium and Celebration in a suburb of Perth whichis worth a look. besides the bike race there is Highland Dancing competitions and Games. Another place worth visiting is the Caledonian Club in Kalgoorlie. which is a mining town. the history alone is worth a visit, but they keep up the Scottish traditions. I learnt everything I know through that club and I have to say it was a fun way to grow up being proud of my heritage. Thankyou Shaun, for your videos. I never would have been able to get up that 'hill', especially in that freezing wind, but you both looked as if you were enjoying yourselves. Cheers. xx
This is kind of off topic, but, years ago, a friend of mine married a Scotsman. Their wedding was very Scottish, bagpipes, kilts, the food, etc. At the reception, I asked Niall, her husband, "What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?" Niall looked me and, said with no expression, "Anything he wants." Love the Scots.
The classic answer is “his pride.”
Yeah, it's not like he hadn't been asked that question a million times before.
And what would you have done if he just said " Ask your Mother."
They've got a WICKED sense of humor! 💙
What a lucky woman she is and I'm sure he's lucky too!
As I already said, I fell in love with Scotland since I was 14, (a long time ago !!) thank tou for your vidéos... I wish I will be back there...And you know what? I've just begun to study Scottish gaelic, which is a wonderful language, by the way, and I discover, since I speak german too it is a great help for the "ach" sound for example. Thank you for your honesty !!! beannachd às an Fhraing ! au revoir de France
This is great! You two had me cracking up!! Thank you for a fun adventure 😊
Excited to watch! Excited to see what you think too. Looking forward to having my own adventure in Scotland 💙
I can't see Men in Kilts either. I don't have cable. Thanks for taking us out in the snowy hills of Edinburgh.😃
That was my favorite vid you've ever done! TY!
Aww thank you very much 😊💜
@@shaunvlog its tied with the first live snowy night walk you and Teka did in Edinburgh! It was enchanting!! I watched it from the very beginning, and all the way to the end! This video was incredible! Te trek was a hoot as sell as breathtaking!! But when you showed the snow crystals swirling in the sunlight- that was God smiling on you for sharing his beautiful handiwork! Keep up the good work, word is getting around about your adventures!
My planned vacation to Scotland was canceled last year because of the pandemic. I have never been to your country and I am anxious to visit.
I wanted to head over this year but with the cootie turning into 'super cootie'..I have my doubts about them opening up to ppl.. especially from here..US...🙁
Very disappointing. It's a wonderful country. Find somewhere local to visit in the meantime. There are wonderful jewels around every corner!
I laughed with joy when you guys slid down the hill. Too fun.
Enjoyed the men with Ginger Beards!
Sassenach whiskey is only available in about 5 state or so. So lots of people are disappointed in not being able to get any.
I checked a couple of places and it's sold out in the U.S.
@@robinsmith5442 i think it has been sole out for a little while. From my understanding they only had a limited amount in the first place. So who ever could buy probably bought as much as they could. I know I was going to get more then one until I seen my state wasn't on the list of states.
LOL Shaun and John!!!! Great “New” series 👍🏻 “Men in Ginger”
You are so right. Watched it last night. It plays off of Outlander and gives Americans an idea of what Scotland is like in culture. But I wander how much of it is true verses marketing. I will be watching it again. There is no show like it and only half hour long.
Wow the scenery is so pretty. We had snow in Virginia till this past weekend now it's rain, freezing rain, and more rain. Local tip for you if Covid ever goes away and you can make it back over here don't visit Virginia January - March it's lovely any other time of year but currently we have gloomy skies, brown grass and it's rained so much the ground is saturated and well right now my yard is a muddy mess. It's pretty much like this every year.
If you ever do make it back over make it back over let me know and I can give you a tour of pretty much anywhere in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
This was simultaneously the most manly and yet most adorable thing I think I've seen. So good I watched it twice! You keep following your dreams and the audience will grow and follow with you. Also, ADS ON FOR MUH BOIIIIIIIIIII!
Thank you very much 😊
Thank you guys, really lifted my spirits.
My pleasure and I’m very glad to hear it 😊
Thank you Shaun for sharing this beautiful day with us. It was also great fun watching you lads having so much fun. But it gave me a chill just hearing that fierce wind blow!
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful Scotland with us. ❤️😘🤗
Regards to Teka 😘🤗
I'm from clan Donald here in the states and you just made me lose my coffee...lol!
I’m glad someone got the joke 😆😆😆
@@shaunvlog my wife always scoffs at me when i ask if she wants Scottish food for breakfast when we are traveling.
I loved this video! It is so good to see you having fun with John! My sister and I watched this video online together and we laughed so much. I introduced her to Outlander a few weeks ago and she has already watched all the shows. She has also subscribed to your channel now.
That was an excellent adventure Shaun! Beautiful photography. I could feel the cold 🥶 ! I'm ready to watch more adventures with Shaun and John! You two are hilarious! Thank you Shaun for another great video! 💕🏴❄️
I can't wait for Men in Kilts! Read the book Clan Lands was brilliant!
If you haven't, you should listen to the Audible version. It is read by SH & GM.
Ever since I was a little kid I wished I was Scottish. I’m American with no Scottish ancestry, but I always thought Scotland and the Scottish culture were so cool.
I feel the same way. 😎
I agree with you....
Pepin it may be the case that you do have an ancestry that has a small part of Scotch in you that is calling out to you. Every winter I know that my Viking side comes out!
@@phyllo2694 oh, I have a large part of Scotch in me. Bourbon too. 🥃
I’m Australian and I recently did an ancestry DNA test and it came back that I was 72%Scottish,12%Irish,9% english/northwest Europe and 7%Norwegian.
8:04 Yeah, and probably gave two other things a right shake-up as well! LOL! Thanks for posting, Shaun! PS, loved John's poem!
I loved this video! The view of the snow covered hills was absolutely beautiful! Well at least I have the Smoky Mountains closer to home. Come back for a visit Shaun...
Great touch, stopping by Maccas🇦🇺,Micky D’s, or McDonald’s🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸. That was funny Shaun!!!😁
Shaun and John - Thanks for sharing this amazing adventures and stunning views of Scotland. You did a phenomenal job recording under such a freezing cold winds. Well done!
I watched Men in Kilts yesterday on STARZ. It was great! I also love watching your vlogs.🥰
Never a dull moment with your shows.
Thank u 😊
Awesome memories, thanks for letting us take a glimpse into your beautiful life. Great video! Hugs from South Carolina!
Shaun, The video was hilarious and interesting . Will plan to show this video to the two granddaughters that I home school. Our family are from SE Georgia of the USA !
I had the same thought- why would this show only be released to the US, first, while leaving - of all places - Scotland out? It’s all marketing and knowing that so many in the US will eat it right up, since there is such an Outlander fan base there... It’s like baking biscuits for company and smacking your kids’ hands when they reach for one. Makes no sense to me- if anything, it should premiere in Scotland *first*, if they gotta choose one, for Pete sake... Grumbling aside, I hope that you do get your own syndicated series one day. You do good work, and the content is fantastic.
Love it!!!!! So funny, especially the twiggy wee people blowing around on the hills in the snow.
Wow! That was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking us on that adventure. 😀💕
Hi Shaun, really enjoy you and your vlogs. All the best, from CA USA : )
I found Vintage roads great and small at my library and watched it with my mom. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the two actors from Creatures great and small driving around the UK.
You two are hysterical and the scenery was beautiful. If ever we get out of lockdown I want to visit Scotland so thank you for making these videos! And please don't climb any more frozen mountains that might possibly blow you clear out of Edinburghou. That looked brutal!
I watched 1st episode of Men in Kilts today, was a seriously fun ride. Learned some, laughed some.
I do love me some boys and banter - yours and theirs 😁. Thanks for the tour.
Awesome video as always 😊. We recently had a crazy ice storm in the PNW. Thanks for sharing your beautiful city and surrounding areas with us. You are one of my favorite people on UA-cam.
I already watched the first episode - it was good! Great views and whisky! They seemed to be having fun driving around and eating!
Yess!! It was amazing!!!
Me too. It was good
That's unfortunate about those TV execs however, I'm sure you will do a brilliant job with this new series Shaun. I've never been up The Pentlands or too Hillend but those shots were very majestic and what a view that was. John also seems like a fun guy too. I can't wait to see more of your content mate. Keep up the great work! :)
Great friends get u out of your comfort zone. 😀. Looks like u had a great time. Loved the video!
Honestly, I liked your adventure more than the Men in Kilts show. It was so much more fun! 😊
I agree, I had high hopes for the show but Shaun shows us so much more than than Men in Kilts has shown!
Im going to wait until Outlander is done filming, the season has all come out and then I will get Starz again and binge both.
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia! We pride ourselves to have so many connections to Scotland. The high school up the road- The Glenvar Highlanders! Further up the road - the Radford University Highlanders! When theres no "'rona virus" around, we have an annual Highland Festival, complete with the games, music, food, crafts & clothing. And there are several more similar festivals within a few hours drive of Salem/Roanoke. You'll have to come visit, if you're ever on another autumn American tour- and theres so much more! (But you must bring Teka! We want to meet her, too!)
Wow! That was very ‘cool’ 😎 Good for you guys for braving the climb and the weather! So fun watching you having fun! Got a good laugh hearing John’s poem! Love your videos! Cheers! 🍻
Saw the Men in Kilts awesome Relatives in Glasgow Loved Scotland and this show
Thanks for sharing! I’m so in love with the Scottish countryside and can’t wait to actually make that trip! New content sounds real good.. I’ll be watching for the guide!
Just watched Men in Kilts Loved it can't wait to see the next episode
Shaun...loved this adventure. We have the same weather and snow here in Missouri. Love your ideas and will be watching. I am half Scot and am really excited about your plans. All the best. Knock back that wee dram.
I have been trying to get to Scotland since 2019! DNA shows our relation to the Ross family and Balnagown Castle. With Gods blessings we will get there next April. Love your real life videos!
Shaun, I haven't been able to comment lately on your videos, but I'm on the mend, I was just telling me ma about your videos... 🙃
I live in a camper van, so I can already see the appeal of the show, but I'm sorry they didn't pick you as a host, you'd be great at it! 😎
Sassenach whiskey was only available in 5 US states when it 1st came out. Only opened to the rest of the country just before Christmas.
p.s. Shaun I bet the network you 1st pitched your idea to is reconsidering that choice.
Love it, wish I could be there looks amazing.
Looks very cold. The snow blows like that here also at windy times in Vermont. It is very cold.Brrr
