Hey Adventurers! 👋 We’re doing our FIRST EVER live stream Q & A for our channel members on September 30th! We’ll be doing this once a month, become a member here to join 👉 ua-cam.com/users/theendlessadventurejoin
You didn't ask in the shop how to pronounce the name? I think it's "Bood i Fund" but they could have told you better than I can ... ... and Google says it does literally mean "Food to go." translate.google.co.uk/#cy/en/Bwyd%20i%20Fynd
The nice thing about Cacen Gri is they're easy to make, the only real trick is like making Scones you want to handle the dough as little as possible, but anyone can make them at home on a griddle, I grew up with 4 siblings and when my Mam made them we'd queue to eat them warm off the griddle, and we'd always eat them with lots of butter, nice video, makes me want to make Welsh cakes now! I live just down the road from Betws, being damp even when it's not properly raining is pretty much the climate around here!
Snowdonia is one of my most favourite places in the world, even when it rains. Great scenery and walking. Shame you can't stay longer - so much to see and do.
I do love you two guys. I’m Welsh and live on the edge of Snowdonia and your videos are so complimentary of my lovely Country. Great fun to watch, and informative and interesting for travellers.
That a South Wales breakfast. Absolutely great (loved trying laverbread on a holiday to Cardiff) but not things you usually come across in North Wales. When I was growing up in Wales the differences between North and South Wales really puzzled me. Nowadays I just think it’s great that such a small country can have such a diversity, and not just in food. Although the language is broadly the same there are certain words that are different. E.g. the Welsh word for milk if different north and south.
@@Penddraig7 is there much truth in that claim? I'm sure there's some advantage but you're definitely right, youll probably not notice that much difference in a rental Vauxhall Astra. And the clutch control and driving style probably does more damage than the fuel choice.
stx the point is, because it’s poorer quality, it’s less efficient and therefore you get less miles to the gallon and it can actually cost you more because you have to refuel more, someone doing the odd trip is not really going to be that disadvantaged but those from uk who drive everyday will, it will cost them more over the year if they use supermarket petrol then if they go to shell or Esso etc the more you fill up in a year the more you will be paying, it doesn’t always pay to go cheap!
That's just a full English breakfast there is just less on it. Minus mushrooms. Minus black pudding. And what significance is the Jam with a savoury breakfast
The little steam train brought back great memories! The city next to our small town had a zoo that only had animals native to Michigan and were brought there if they had some issue and could no longer live in the wild. There was a train that traveled through the zoo and the waterside of the huge bay. If remembering correctly, it was a nice twenty minute ride and cost $1 for adults, 50 cents for 12 and under. Unfortunately, with growth, the zoo was no longer in a safe space and the powers that be decided to not move it to a better area but to just close it. They sold the train to a municipality in the southern area of Michigan. Too bad they didn't keep it on the waterfront as a tourist attraction.
We’ve had Welsh cakes from there and they’re so good, and Bets-y-Coyed is a lovely town with fun stuff to do near. Love the station and Garilla cafes :)
from bristol all round the cotswolds and up to wales and half way back to manchester i would say thats a deal, have you ever tried doing that on train? You would need a second mortgage.
Those Welsh Cakes are fantastic. Have tasted them loads of times. We love visiting snowdonia. My mum was Welsh she had the old fashioned griddle used to make them. Lovely still warm.
Just saw this video today. It brought back great memories. I used to live in South Wales but moved back home to America. My mother in law made the most awesome Welsh cakes. Safe travels guys 😊
Hi Allison & Eric, Its Tony here from my home city of Edinburgh i just came across your u- tube by accident just the other day and after only watching a few of your vlogs i subd your channel. So iam very new to your great u- tube channel but iam loving it ive got tons of videos to catch up on so i cant wait to watch them. Just wanted to say hi to you both. Your channel hits all the stuff i love travel and food who could as for more lol so safe and happy travels guy's and iam glad your comming back up to my beautiful country bonnie Scotland again looking forward to that vlog god bless guys cheers Tony from Edinburgh :)
Yes, I love this episode! The cute little train ride alone was worth it. Though your foodie experiences are so delectable in many ways. Best yet, you really seem sincere in your tastes and reviews. Safe travels guys. Blessings, James & Kim
Only just discovered you 2 and subbed after the first watch 👍🏻 Love watching you reactions to different foods and places 😂 keep it up,with love from Birmingham,England
Oh dear! You're in scotland and drinking terrible whisky. Please visit Edradour, Scotland's smallest distillery. It's near pitlochry, does a brilliant short tour, and you get to taste some really good stuff. Also it is as pretty as heaven.
As a Brit, have discovered and love your vids. Makes me realise what a beautiful country we live in, when looked at through your eyes. Thank you for your appreciation. Glad you have had fun; wish you much more! Whisky neat with just water, and, if you have to, 1 little ice. Let it drift around your mouth. And buy a good one!!! Do try the malt whiskies - they vary so much. Recommend Bruicladdich and Glenmorangie as two of the (but delicious ) extremes. But only a small drop of water. Roll over and over the tongue!
Haha we made Welsh cakes for our wedding favors - and then forgot to give them out! Had 400 small heart shaped welsh cakes all to ourselves! We always give Welsh cakes to family in England for Christmas.
I really enjoyed your videos in Wales! It seems you were staying just around the corner from me in Deganwy :) Now I'll have to keep up to date with the rest of your adventures! Enjoy Scotland - but come back to Wales soon. Hwyl!
Something else worth seeing in Betws-y-Coed is the small church, up Old Church Road. It's rather old. Pick the right time when the lady who looks after it is there and she can tell you quite a bit about the history of the village, and of course the church. And the train ride is definitely worthwhile. 8) If you're there in the evening, I recommend the Stables Bar for food, attached to the Royal Oak Hotel. Note that although the region in general is probably more well known for various outdoor pursuits, there are a great many museums, castles, mines and other places to visit. Dinorwig hydroelectric power station is worth seing, very interesting place (electricmountain.co.uk), though the visitor centre is closed just now for refurbishment work (reopens Easter 2019). Btw, if heading up to Scotland, the M6 motorway route past Wigan can be rather busy, not pleasant if you're unfamiliar with UK roads. An alternative route is to cross the bridge at Runcorn, rejoin the M6 a bit further north; especially wise if the weather is bad, the spray on the motorway from large trucks is dreadful. Also, if heading for Edinburgh, instead of following the motorway all the way, come off at Junction 15, take the A701 north/east through Moffat (nice place to stop, free parking, I recommend the Rublin' Tum cafe), a good scenic drive. After going through a village called Romannobridge, look out for and take the B7059 (left-hand turnoff) to West Linton; once there, turn right onto the A702 to Edinburgh. This avoids the slow urban area of Penicuik (if you miss the B7059, just follow the A701, noting the left turn it takes at Leadburn). The A702 from West Linton is better though. Eventually you'll reach the city bypass, at which point you can head west or east if need be, or continue north into the city outskirts, depending on where you want to go. I don't recommend the A1 route to Scotland because it's a less pleasant drive, the A1 can be horribly busy (renowned for accidents), and one ends up on the east side of Edinburgh which has some horrid roundabouts on the bypass. Going to Glasgow is somewhat easier, the motorway routes go right into the heart of the city. Lastly, if you need a break on the M6, there's a nice chip shop in a small place called Shap. :) Come off at Junction 39; afterwards, if you like you can continue north on the A6 for a while which shadows the motorway for a few miles, rejoin the motorway at Junction 40, via the A66 (just south of Penrith). Motorway service stations are expensive and the food is generally terrible. Likewise, fill up with petrol at a supermarket in a town before joining a motorway, as fuel prices on the motorways can be very high, just like the food cost.
Hey, glad you made it to our stunning North Wales, if you get a chance to come back head further West. I live and work all round north Wales and places like Harlech, Porthmadog, Criccieth, Pwllheli, and Abersoch are stunning towns with amazing views of the coast and great places to eat. Harlech castle has some gorgeous views of West Wales and to stay there are some great glamping pods near by in penrhyndeudraeth, if you head to Harlech you must go through blaenau-ffestiniog and take a little wounder round and down the Caverns or even Bounce below. If you need any more information just drop me a message I would be happy to help. Have fun adventuring...
Had that been a premium Highland single-malt, adding lime would probably be grounds for deportation! Great vid, keep up the fine work. Try to visit Eilean Donan Castle while on Skye.
Drove through Betws-y-Coed before but never stopped, which everyone tells me is a mistake. Food looked good and loved the plastic bottle caps, very inventive. My grandkids would have loved that train ride, must admit at only £2 a head, I would have too. The Welsh cakes looked and sounded great, so well worth the trip. never had petrol pumped into my car for about 40 years, think you guys hit lucky. Great watch, cheers Alan
Hope your enjoying your stay 😀 you should really try Chester, gorgeous Roman walled city I live in a village just outside the city and even I never get bored of it 😁
I love your videos so much they always bring a smile to my face. You're teaching me things about my own country I should know. It's a little early but I'm going to congratulate you for 150K subs as it's bound to happen any day now.
Welsh is a beautiful language - and you can learn it using UA-cam, and other langauge aps. My mother's side is originally from Wales - Rees is a common name there. Diolch yn fawr! (Dee-olchun va-urr! The "ch" is similar to that in German, only, not quite as rough.) Stay safe, and have fun!
Wow such different weather in Scotland and Wales from what we had in the Netherlands in August. You guys had sweaters on and it was raining? We, not that far from where you guys were, had 6 months of very hot dry weather. I was kinda jalours at the places where it was cooler and raining....that heath and draught drove me nuts.... So weird it can be so different so closeby
I live in Fife, would be cool to see where you end up. Lots of nice villages to see and a beautiful coastline too. Would recommend going to Limekilns, Aberdour or South Queensferry
I”m from Kilsyth which is a few miles from Kirkintilloch.The Campsie Fells are nearby and the Forth and Clyde canal and Antonine Wall.You have to see the Kelpies in Falkirk.Its a must.
Wooo Welsh cakes are the best! I recommend them freshly made from the Cardiff Market! I love that you went out of your way for Welsh cakes though! Your breakfast looked like a standard English breakfast, did look like a real good one though, not as greasy as some you get here :D I'm not a whisky drinker myself but don't think I'd ever put lime in it! Glad you're having fun in the UK!
Probably already learned this, but don't fuel up at the motorway service stations, they are more expensive. Go to a Cosco or someplace like that for the best price.
Petrol is particularly expensive at the moment but that does seem a lot. There are still some little garages that pump the petrol for you, they tend to be the old fashioned rural ones that have a repair shop on site. Sometimes they get a subsidy to provide the service. That station looked quite fancy to be serviced though.
I love your up-beat enthusiasm for everything, regardless of our very temperamental weather. Your vids are very nice to watch. Assuming you were visiting in 2018, what a shame you missed our hottest, driest summer, for 40 years..
Nice video guys, breakfast and Welsh cakes all looked really tasty. Can understand the difficulty pronouncing Welsh names: I've been living there for over 4 years and still struggle. Look forward to seeing what you got up to in Scotland. Hopefully Eric's Scottish accent is a little better than his English one though, ha ha.
Only just found this channel and have gone back and watched a few other videos. I love seeing you explore all these places as it really shows just how lovely these places are. Next time you go traveling around England you should go to a place called Beaulieu in The New Forest and check out Palace House, Beaulieu Abbey and the National Motor Museum I think you would really enjoy it.
If you’re still in the UK and traveling around I recommend a town where I used to live called Bury St Edmunds down in Suffolk. Fantastic old market town, loads of history, some old ruins to walk around and it’s the home of the smallest pub in England! Suffolk is general is worth doing some research on, there’s some great little places down there to explore.
I have lived in North Wales all my life and never ever had anyone pump my petrol at a station that's so bizarre over here, where abouts was it you stopped?
I knew I recognised the name Betws-Y-Coed, then as soon as I saw the car park I recognised it. I called in on the way back from a weekend break about 2/3 years ago :)
Next time you guys are in South Wales, you should visit the Trago Mills mega store in Merthyr Tydfil. You can get an amazing Yorkshire pudding wrap there from the Crosswoods store, there's also a great welshcake shop there with a great variety of different welshcakes to try 👍🏻
The reason you are not fans of Scotch is due to you buying what is more or less the cheapest pretty horrible Scotch there is. I am a fan of highland Scotch I would suggest before you leave get a bottle of Glenmorangie 10 its a fantastic introduction to highland Scotch at an affordable price. Its warm and fruity with some hints of citrus it really opens up with a little water and with a sweet finish would make you think its Bourbon! The flavour profiles of Scottish whisky is massive and a awesome journey to have!

... and Google says it does literally mean "Food to go." translate.google.co.uk/#cy/en/Bwyd%20i%20Fynd
It was the original name we couldn't pronounce "Cwmni Cacen Gri" 👍
You can't beat a freshly made hot Welsh cake with butter! Just like my Great Aunt Brenda (from the Gower) used to make!
Need to go to bedgelert in Snowdonia
It is Beddgelert
As a Welsh girl I love seeing tourists reactions yo our beautiful country and culture 💕 hope you enjoyed, please come back soon 😊
The nice thing about Cacen Gri is they're easy to make, the only real trick is like making Scones you want to handle the dough as little as possible, but anyone can make them at home on a griddle, I grew up with 4 siblings and when my Mam made them we'd queue to eat them warm off the griddle, and we'd always eat them with lots of butter, nice video, makes me want to make Welsh cakes now!

You guys went where we go in Wales every year and I’m so glad you found it!
I love all y videos. And the Welsh cake. Very good quality of videos. 😘
Just seeing you visiting Wales just makes me miss my country so much, been away in Australia for a whole year now 🙃
I do love you two guys. I’m Welsh and live on the edge of Snowdonia and your videos are so complimentary of my lovely Country. Great fun to watch, and informative and interesting for travellers.
I used to stay in that caravan park at 3:53 with my parents when i was a kid. So nostalgic watching this video.
Omg I'm in the background I like the the breakfasts there is lovely
I stayed in Betws-y-Coed a few months ago, it's amazing.
Just found your channel, and just wanted to say your guys are pretty chill and down to earth. Love your channel.
You had bacon on your English breakfast not ham. It isn’t a proper welsh breakfast as that has cockles and laverbread (seaweed)
That a South Wales breakfast. Absolutely great (loved trying laverbread on a holiday to Cardiff) but not things you usually come across in North Wales. When I was growing up in Wales the differences between North and South Wales really puzzled me. Nowadays I just think it’s great that such a small country can have such a diversity, and not just in food. Although the language is broadly the same there are certain words that are different. E.g. the Welsh word for milk if different north and south.
I can't believe I live right next to Wales and I've never ever heard of Welsh Cakes!! Ahhhhh another place to add to the bucket list! xx
You overpaid for fuel, motorway prices are very high, you should always fuel up at a supermarket if you can.
stx trouble with supermarket fuel is it’s not the best quality which is why it’s cheap, but if you have a hire car I guess it doesn’t matter, lol
@@Penddraig7 is there much truth in that claim? I'm sure there's some advantage but you're definitely right, youll probably not notice that much difference in a rental Vauxhall Astra. And the clutch control and driving style probably does more damage than the fuel choice.

@@Penddraig7yeah, it makes sense but I'm a skeptic. Have there been any studies on this effect?
Agreed
That's just a full English breakfast there is just less on it. Minus mushrooms. Minus black pudding. And what significance is the Jam with a savoury breakfast
Luv abit of Welsh Rarebit, but Welsh cakes are lovely too.

Superb video folks, love watching you exploring out Great Britain
Thanks for sharing ! Cheers to you !
Good to see you back in the UK 👍🏻
We’ve had Welsh cakes from there and they’re so good, and Bets-y-Coyed is a lovely town with fun stuff to do near. Love the station and Garilla cafes :)
For £70 I would expect a brass band playing whist your tank was filled.
from bristol all round the cotswolds and up to wales and half way back to manchester i would say thats a deal, have you ever tried doing that on train? You would need a second mortgage.
Great little village. Remember it from years ago when camping and climbing in Snowdonia. Good pub called The Stables too i remember
Those Welsh Cakes are fantastic. Have tasted them loads of times. We love visiting snowdonia. My mum was Welsh she had the old fashioned griddle used to make them. Lovely still warm.
So glad you made it to Betws-y-Coed, i was there last year, beautiful place!
The Welsh cakes at that shop are amazing
OMG I fell inlove with Welsh cakes!! I only recently drove around Scotland (highlands, glasgow and edinburgh). LOVE SCOTLAND!
10 or 11 am is the best time for full English breakfast, you can skip lunch
love watching your adventures !!!!!
Amazing scenery. And I can't get over how Good your guys' transitions are. Top Notch. Really Loving these UK videos :)
Aww you guys went to Alpine in Betws y Coed! One of my favourite places - only 20 minutes away from my house! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Just saw this video today. It brought back great memories. I used to live in South Wales but moved back home to America. My mother in law made the most awesome Welsh cakes. Safe travels guys 😊
shame you didn't go see the Swallow Falls at Betws y Coed. they're stunning.
Came here just to comment the same. I will never forget seeing them for the first time. If you every go back there, do see the falls.
Yes! They’re amazing.
Mustangtel conwy falls > swallow falls
Also the fairyglenn

There is a reason why Wales is so green.... it rains a lot :-)
Yep the mountains and trees draw the rain in
Pronouniation: Bet-oos uh c-oi-d
From your Welsh speaking fan! Keep up the great work 💕
Hannah Burns that’s a great way to help pronunciation . Da Iawn,ferch o cymru hefyd 👍👍
Bit ironic it's pronunciation not pronouniation
Des M. And?
@@hannahburns9126 This guy I knew used to call it Betsy Coed, sound like a girls dormitory. Drove me crazy.
Dwi yn dod o Gogledd Cymru.
Thank you for including us in your video, hope you enjoyed your visit to the Alpine Coffee Shop and Betws-y-Coed. Happy happy travellings.
I've been to the same place...sat in the same seats...ate the same cakes! 😋
Yes, I love this episode! The cute little train ride alone was worth it. Though your foodie experiences are so delectable in many ways. Best yet, you really seem sincere in your tastes and reviews. Safe travels guys. Blessings, James & Kim
Only just discovered you 2 and subbed after the first watch 👍🏻
Love watching you reactions to different foods and places 😂 keep it up,with love from Birmingham,England
the random corner in the room of that air b&b, is actually where the dining table should be. its a lounge/dining room ;-)
Uh the UK is just GORGEOUS and so underrated outside of London
Oh dear! You're in scotland and drinking terrible whisky. Please visit Edradour, Scotland's smallest distillery. It's near pitlochry, does a brilliant short tour, and you get to taste some really good stuff. Also it is as pretty as heaven.
The concrete railway bridge at the opening of the video is on the M56 near Runcorn in Cheshire
Good show again.
As a Brit, have discovered and love your vids. Makes me realise what a beautiful country we live in, when looked at through your eyes. Thank you for your appreciation. Glad you have had fun; wish you much more! Whisky neat with just water, and, if you have to, 1 little ice. Let it drift around your mouth. And buy a good one!!!

What a sweet little video, you guys! Can't wait to see what adventures await in Scotland. :)
Wow, this was in August? I guess you guys are a tad bit behind, lol!
That little train was really cute and funny :)
But no kittiecats in this one!
Shame you didn't go to aber falls, such a beautiful walk xx
Welcome to Scotland! if you are ever up in the north east you need to try an Aberdeen buttery!
Haha we made Welsh cakes for our wedding favors - and then forgot to give them out! Had 400 small heart shaped welsh cakes all to ourselves! We always give Welsh cakes to family in England for Christmas.
Hey there, are y'all not posting for 2019. I enjoy the watching y'all travel the world.
So fun! Those look so good!
Only celebrities get to have people come out and fill up their petrol. You have made it. :)
Lime in whisky, my Grandpa will be turning in his grave. Lol
Scotch and 1 rock , if that.
That's a scotch sour, lemon & lime is the same unless it's a key lime they are the only real limes, so it's a proper Scotch sour
It's High Commissioner... Its hardly a single malt 😉
It's blended. Put what you like in it.
Keep your additives away from my 18-year-old single malts, but abuse the blended stuff all you like.
They should also try adding honey & hot water as well as the lime, make a nice Hot toddy 🙃
Loved the music today guys!
I have been to Wales twice, but never tried Welsh cake, I should do it next time
I really enjoyed your videos in Wales! It seems you were staying just around the corner from me in Deganwy :) Now I'll have to keep up to date with the rest of your adventures! Enjoy Scotland - but come back to Wales soon. Hwyl!
Something else worth seeing in Betws-y-Coed is the small church, up Old Church Road. It's rather old. Pick the right time when the lady who looks after it is there and she can tell you quite a bit about the history of the village, and of course the church.

Note that although the region in general is probably more well known for various outdoor pursuits, there are a great many museums, castles, mines and other places to visit. Dinorwig hydroelectric power station is worth seing, very interesting place (electricmountain.co.uk), though the visitor centre is closed just now for refurbishment work (reopens Easter 2019).

You got fleeced on the petrol! I can’t believe you never went to Pontcysyllte Aqueduct! Near the mighty Wrexham 🏴.
A world heritage site!!!
Fancy bisquits!
You should come back to Cardiff and explore Cardiff Castle it’s really good 👍🏻
Oh happy days, Welsh cakes a family fav❗️. Gotta make some for the granddaughter 😃. Easy peasy you should try them while you’re home 👏👏👏
'Up ya sporran' is one traditional way of toasting drinks.
Hey, glad you made it to our stunning North Wales, if you get a chance to come back head further West.

Great vlogs guys, just catching up with you. Just to say a traditional Welsh breakfast should have laverbread and cockles on it.
On your way North to Scotland, on the M6 you passed really close to the lake district. My wife is a Northern lass & say's you must go n see.
Hope your enjoying your stay 😀 you should really try Chester, gorgeous Roman walled city I live in a village just outside the city and even I never get bored of it 😁
I love your videos so much they always bring a smile to my face. You're teaching me things about my own country I should know. It's a little early but I'm going to congratulate you for 150K subs as it's bound to happen any day now.

Wooo Welsh cakes are the best! I recommend them freshly made from the Cardiff Market! I love that you went out of your way for Welsh cakes though! Your breakfast looked like a standard English breakfast, did look like a real good one though, not as greasy as some you get here :D I'm not a whisky drinker myself but don't think I'd ever put lime in it! Glad you're having fun in the UK!
Probably already learned this, but don't fuel up at the motorway service stations, they are more expensive. Go to a Cosco or someplace like that for the best price.
Petrol is particularly expensive at the moment but that does seem a lot. There are still some little garages that pump the petrol for you, they tend to be the old fashioned rural ones that have a repair shop on site. Sometimes they get a subsidy to provide the service. That station looked quite fancy to be serviced though.
Guys the editing on your videos is awesome. Just had to say that. Great content and well put together. Bravo ❤️
Thanks! 😊
I love your up-beat enthusiasm for everything, regardless of our very temperamental weather. Your vids are very nice to watch. Assuming you were visiting in 2018, what a shame you missed our hottest, driest summer, for 40 years..
I'm just catching up on your vids . Try Haig Whisky with Iron Brew , it's delicious & I don't normally like Whisky & Haig is made in Scotland.
Nice video guys, breakfast and Welsh cakes all looked really tasty. Can understand the difficulty pronouncing Welsh names: I've been living there for over 4 years and still struggle. Look forward to seeing what you got up to in Scotland. Hopefully Eric's Scottish accent is a little better than his English one though, ha ha.
welcome back to Scotland you guys
Lovely town you can walk up to the Swallow Falls
Only just found this channel and have gone back and watched a few other videos. I love seeing you explore all these places as it really shows just how lovely these places are. Next time you go traveling around England you should go to a place called Beaulieu in The New Forest and check out Palace House, Beaulieu Abbey and the National Motor Museum I think you would really enjoy it.
Very beautiful video. Nice food. Great work friends.
You’d probably like Eccles Cakes too. Have you tried those yet? They’re a Manchester thing.
If you’re still in the UK and traveling around I recommend a town where I used to live called Bury St Edmunds down in Suffolk. Fantastic old market town, loads of history, some old ruins to walk around and it’s the home of the smallest pub in England! Suffolk is general is worth doing some research on, there’s some great little places down there to explore.
I have lived in North Wales all my life and never ever had anyone pump my petrol at a station that's so bizarre over here, where abouts was it you stopped?
Georgia and North Carolina have gas stations that will fill it up for you if go to a certain set of pumps. That window had the farts ha.
I knew I recognised the name Betws-Y-Coed, then as soon as I saw the car park I recognised it. I called in on the way back from a weekend break about 2/3 years ago :)
The train was so sweet . When are you coming to Ironbridge Telford and the Shrewsbury . For Shrewsbury cakes and fidgit pie.
Next time you guys are in South Wales, you should visit the Trago Mills mega store in Merthyr Tydfil.
You can get an amazing Yorkshire pudding wrap there from the Crosswoods store, there's also a great welshcake shop there with a great variety of different welshcakes to try 👍🏻
The reason you are not fans of Scotch is due to you buying what is more or less the cheapest pretty horrible Scotch there is.
I am a fan of highland Scotch I would suggest before you leave get a bottle of Glenmorangie 10 its a fantastic introduction to highland Scotch at an affordable price.
Its warm and fruity with some hints of citrus it really opens up with a little water and with a sweet finish would make you think its Bourbon! The flavour profiles of Scottish whisky is massive and a awesome journey to have!
8:50 In the UK self serve is the most common but shell offers a service where the man pumps the petrol for you
You should go to the Falkirk Wheel and Edinburgh Castle. Make sure that you try haggis with neeps and tatties in a restaurant or pub in Scotland too.
