Went to skye last year for 5 days . Wasn't exactly looking forward to it as I have mobility issues and thought it would be all hill walking.. very pleasantly surprised, fell in love would defo go back.. you should have visited Dunvegan Castle ( think that's the name) , lovely day out. Also there's a nice chippy on that street in Portree which was lovely
You two truly are the most delightful couple. I love seeing the UK through your eyes. I’m an American who lives in Edinburgh, and I absolutely love Scotland so much.
My favourite quote is "I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION" which I have been saying to my kids for years and it was fun to see the light bulb go off in there heads when they first watched that scene in the film and heard it said.
Im from Suffolk in East Anglia and visited Scotland this time last year. Me and a friend drove the NC500, a route that takes you all around the top of mainland Scotland. I was blown away over and over again by Scotland. I cant wait to return one day.
It really pleases me that you don't need the hustle and bustle of a city to enjoy your stay here. Nature is awesome as is Scotland. I'm English. You're clearly two chilled people that love each other's company and the UK. There are worse places in the world to live!
I am English and saw quite a few places in Scotland when I went on a cruise of the British Isles. One of the favourite places I went to apart from Edinburgh was the beautiful town of Tobermory. The town had colourful painted houses like you have shown here in this video. Another very nice town is Oban which is a fishing town, there are some amazing shops there should you want to buy tartan goods. Scotland is amazing for the beautiful scenery. In the 1960's I was a trawlerman on trawlers from Fleetwood in Lancashire England and we passed by Tobermory on the way out to Iceland and on the return journey to England. Great memories of my time at sea. I can recommend visiting Dunoon also and you can get a ferry from Glasgow to there. Thanks for your review of Skye.
We stayed in a glamping pod in Glencoe and our view was to die for. Our host was lovely and made us feel very welcomed. The highlands of Scotland is probably my favorite place in the world.
That scenery is why so many people will tell you to really experience Scotland, get away north and away from the cities. Scotland has so much to offer. The Cuillins are the main mountain range on Skye and the weather forecast for the island famously has two lines. If you can see the Cuillins it’s going to rain, if you can’t see the Cuillins, it’s raining!
I love going to Scotland when its cold. The air is crisp and clean and when you visit somewhere that has a real fire going you just dont want to leave.
Theres a lovely island off the coast of Scotland called Coll. Beautiful white sands and a castle too! They filmed a kids T.V. show there called Katie Morag
I was in Skye in May and had beautiful weather. The drive through Glencoe was magical and awe inspiring it takes your breath away. The views from the Old man of Stor are amazing. I stayed in Portree and that was booking a year in advance. Queued for an hour at the harbour chippy for fish and chips but was worth it 😋 on our last day we did the fairy pools...omg that nearly killed me lol. Im in my 60's and the trek was something else, also it was a monsoon that day but ong seeing those waterfalls in spate rushing down the mountain was glorious. Skye has always been on my bucket list and it was something ill never forget ❤
The nice weather ended this weekend, it's still not bad compared to the previous 18 months, but it's Skye, if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes and you'll get something different, I'm writing this in portree where I work, it's warm and dry,=midgy, but at home 13 miles away it's raining heavily, always something different, so for anyone visiting, don't go by what the weather apps say 👍👍👍
If you get a chance, go see Alnwick (pronounced Annick) castle in Northumberland (north of Newcastle). Besides its historical significance, it is the setting for the filming of the outside scenes of Blackadder (first series)!
it always fascinates me that people want huge hotel rooms to enjoy a short stay somewhere, surely you are going to these places to spend time outside exploring. Those pods look perfect for what you were doing
Hi to all of you, loved seeing you enjoy sky and that you are back in Scotland. I know Jeremy loves the curry sauce and if you want to take it home with you its in the shops Yeungs chinese curry mix if you stop at a coop or Tesco it should have it it is a yellow and red packet and makes loads this is what we use and it tastes the same as a take away. take care and looking forward to seeing what you both get up to next xx Pam
I don’t know about the rest of the you tubing community but you seem genuinely nice people that don’t mind taking advice, and at the same time, the feed back is so brilliant for us back in the UK 🇬🇧 seriously thinking about looking into the pods for a short break so Thankyou x
i motorhomed around Scotland for 10 days, just planning to spend 1 day in Skye , ended up loving it so much i stayed 2. Could just park up anywhere, make dinner, go to sleep, wake up to see the boats coming into Talamh Ur. Apparently part of my family comes from Skye and is part of the Macleod clan , my grandad always said if you go to Dunvegan on skye , say your name you can get in for free. I have to admit i was 2 embarrassed to try it so spent the tenner instead , took a rowboat and met all the seals.
I guess you brought your dog with you. That must have been a bit of a challenge. I am an English Springer dog breeder, so appreciate what happens when dogs go to other countries.
How lovely to see you both on the beautiful Isle of Skye ❤ . I usually take the train from Glasgow to Mallaig for the ferry , on the West highland line , one of the great railway journeys of the world , ask any train enthusiast . I take my tent and I think it's not what I do on Skye but what I don't , I leave the rat race of the city and the rush , and re-connect with nature and enjoy the peace and tempo and scenery and detox my head and soul and take in the surroundings and wldlife . I visit the distilleries and try find special editions of whisky , whisky is a very wise and good investment for the future . I work as a roadie with bands and artists , so I visit for the Skye music festival which is great , real musicians and real people and atmosphere , unlike some.of the huge commercial ones I work sometimes . The band Runrig were formed on Skye , the great original line up , ..not the awful latter version of the band .There are a few songs written about the island . You are both so mannerly , I noticed you never repeated the line " I fart in your general direction " at the castle " 😄 . Best regards and I hope to see you both back in Scotland 🏴 . Catch > X
We definitely missed out on distilleries while we were there. We have to do that next time. That's awesome that you're a roadie. I'll bet you get to see a lot of awesome shows!
2:55 Most of the footprints are in the really lurid green stretch of seaweed - which is scarily slick. Walk carefully, and take little steps... June 2024 UPDATE - a major storm has piled sand over the Western end of the area which has the footprints. It will clear in time but at the moment it's a bit underwhelming... 7:44 The cruise ships are too large for the harbor so the visitors come ashore in the lifeboats. That way they all know where the lifeboats are, they know they work and they can visit smaller, more attractive, ports. 8:14 The pronunciation is spot on - although both 'a's used to be sounded in the old days.
great video you two should go to englands only subtropical islands . THE ISLES OF SILLY 28 MILES OFF LANDS END IN CORNWALL . BLOODY BEAUTIFUL BEEN THERE 3 TIMES JAMES
I'm so impressed and surprised by how nice the pod was! I loved that one was named Morag ... we stayed at a fabulous little hotel in Scotland and the owner's cute little dog was named Morag!
Nice video of Skye. I've been there twice. Last time was last year with my brother. That time we walked further up the hill to go past the pinnacle of the old man of Storr something we should have did the first time. It allowed us to get the classic view and photos of the Storr which was truly spectacular. We stayed in a nice self catering chalet called the Hide in Drumfearn on Skye. The lady had installed multiple double d sockets in all the rooms with USB sockets too. On arrival she'd left tea bags coffee and hot chocolate sachets. And even packs of chocolate biscuits. I can recommend if you go back going down to Elgol bottom of the island and taking the little boat trip to Loch Coruisk. Boats are off if the weather too bad. We saw seals that day. In Portree there's a nice little place called Cafe Arriba they do nice cake and coffee. I've been told their hot chocolate and food is also good.
I hope you managed to visit the Isle of Staffa. Myself and my wife spent our honeymoon camping way back in the eighties around Scotland. Definitely no glamping then!
I am forever tainted by being unable to see or hear the words, 'Isle of Skye,' without getting 'Donald, where’s your troosers,' as an ear-worm! Have never made it to Skye, but have visited Mull which was stunning, and the town of Tobermory there which was picture post-card perfect.
So glad you enjoyed Skye. We love it too. We stayed in Staffin too. Highly recommend the walk up to The Old Man of Storr but definitely in better weather!
Ah, Skye looks great, and not finding food after hiking is a bummer, glad you got some yummy fish and chips after. Nice pods. Come to Wales if you like sheep 🐑.... You'll never leave 😁. Also if you do go to Wales, I recommend some less sheepy place's like Portmeirion and Tenby, although I'm sure you've been recommend them before 😉
One of the best views by car of Scotland for me is Glenshee ski centre to Spittal of Glenshee - A93, theres places to pull over called devils elbow lol. You go from being in the mountains to down in the valley down a giant hill and although google maps won't do it justice I would recommend anyone have a look if you can't get there in person. Lots of deer and really wicked atmosphere in the winter, if the road isn't closed
Oh you should check out the Doune The Rabbit Hole festival, end of July, just along the road at Lake of Monteith. Also the Walter Scott Paddle Steamer is back on Loch Katrine this summer.
So glad you like sheep. You are aware that in medieval times our economy was based on it. We have a good few varieties. The Speaker in the House of Lords, sits on a woolsack as a reminder of our past (wool bale). England had many long wool sheep, for weaving, unfortunately many breeds no longer exists. Long wool sheep are so pretty, Google Leicestershire or Lincolnshire long wool to see them, now rare breeds.
im sure they are pods i was going to sign me and my friends up for back in october for july/august we were thinking it was just too small for what we were needing but its nice to see it and them actually being decent for some people .....
For your info, it is not incorrect for you to call those types of castle projections as turrets, but the more specific term for those that project from the walls is a "bartizan".
So glad u like uk. I'm a brit, i had to move to CA to get some sun. Watching this reminds me how dark it is there! I miss the fish and chips, eggs etc. The food is better quality I think. What do you think?
Not too sure about this sheep fixation: one of my aunts in Yorkshire could see sheep from her flat every day -they were usually in the garden finishing off all her flowers and vegetables.....
@@davidjackson2580 Except, I feel like the gh should really be more like a voiced aspirate, like ch in Scots or German. But I didn't go to Oxbridge, unlike the Pythons, so I might be wrong.
I love the pipes. I am pretty much the pacifist but if you want to get me to go to battle put a pipe band out front my courage will suddenly fill my chest and I will follow them anywhere !!
i cannot beleive...you didnt go to the black cuillins....the uk most formidable mountain range...rising up from sea level, to over 3,000 ft....jagged, like sharks teeth.....most of the uk mountaineers from the past....did their training, on the black cuillins...before they went on to conquer the Himalayas!!!
the fish is over cooked when the batter detaches from the fish over cooked ask gordon ramsey he did say 3 minutes deep fried after that its getting cremated

North Yorkshire coast next if you can pretty please with a cherry on the top👍
Skye is a paradise for hill walking. There's something for all abilities.
Dinosaur footprints in Staffin were awesome, everything else about Skye was massively over hyped and overrated. Mull is much better.
You should come to Aberdeen, a bit off the beaten track for tourists, but with things to see and do, and plenty of seals.
Went to skye last year for 5 days

Aaah thank you for 'Carly could not care less about the footprints' which is correct in British English 😊 x
We try to generally do be correct. Our bad English does sneak out at times. 😂
My favourite quote is "I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION" which I have been saying to my kids for years and it was fun to see the light bulb go off in there heads when they first watched that scene in the film and heard it said.
It is great! 😂😂😂

@@TheMagicGeekdom It's great. Very small roads though for a lot of it.
Portree has a chip van….on certain times….

Come on guys! You passed Eilandonan Castle, the most picturesque and movie film location,, in Scitland!!! Turn back its SO worth it.
Oh, no! We'll have to add it to our list of places.
I've just come down
From the Isle of Skye
I'm not very big and I'm awful shy
And the lassies shout when I go by
Donald, where's your troosers?
Have not heard that before.
Was it Super Gran👀

These days, there is a bridge...
@@wessexdruid7598 Not from Mallaig there isn't.
Doesn't seem like the best planning...
Such a lovely place. Have never been myself but it’s one of the last trips my parents took.
It's a beautiful place if you can make it there!
So glad you enjoyed Skye. We love it too. We stayed in Staffin too. Highly recommend the walk up to The Old Man of Storr but definitely in better weather!
Next time hopefully! It was so beautiful to drive by,
We spent a week in Skye. Absolutely had a wonderful time. We plan on a longer trip next time. Great video...thank you!

Missed so much to see and do not going down the coast via Portsoy, banffshire and Aberdeenshire. lots of castles, estates and beutiful veiws
We'd love to go back.

One of the best views by car of Scotland for me is Glenshee ski centre to Spittal of Glenshee - A93, theres places to pull over called devils elbow lol. You go from being in the mountains to down in the valley down a giant hill and although google maps won't do it justice I would recommend anyone have a look if you can't get there in person.
Lots of deer and really wicked atmosphere in the winter, if the road isn't closed
That sounds very cool!
My 1993 memories of Isle of Skye were; everything is shut & no food options. Plus, rain 🌧️
Oh, no! Thankfully, our time was a bit more positive.
Loved this. I live in Scotland but I've never been to Skye. I'll need to rectify that.
You should go!
You might as well have a look at Plockton when you go back to the mainland it's only a 20 minute trip away and it's stunning.
We missed it, but it looks lovely. We'll have to add it to the list of places to visit.
What a great couple man.
Awe, thank you!
Oh you should check out the Doune The Rabbit Hole festival, end of July, just along the road at Lake of Monteith. Also the Walter Scott Paddle Steamer is back on Loch Katrine this summer.
Actually don't 😬 the festival has been cancelled. Sorry.
Well, that's too bad. It looks like it was pretty cool.
There's a lot of great things to do in the bigger cities as well, but it's nice to just walk around and enjoy nature for a while as well!
So glad you like sheep. You are aware that in medieval times our economy was based on it. We have a good few varieties. The Speaker in the House of Lords, sits on a woolsack as a reminder of our past (wool bale). England had many long wool sheep, for weaving, unfortunately many breeds no longer exists. Long wool sheep are so pretty, Google Leicestershire or Lincolnshire long wool to see them, now rare breeds.
They are pretty. I feel like we have seen a couple of them on our travels, but they seem pretty uncommon.
Have you seen Steve Marsh's video of his island hopping trip to Staffa?
I don't think we have. We'll have to check that out.
Steve has some great videos. Fife coastal trail ones are great. I was just in Anstruther last week, so gorgeous.
Dunvegan Castle is worth visiting on Skye.
That look's really cool!
Have you guys ever thought about going to one of our channel islands. Jersey is very beautiful.
We were just talking to some of our UK friends about that yesterday. Hopefully, at some point.
that curry sauce, I think that's a Scottish thing? although years ago you could get it like that in my local chippy in Widnes
Curry sauce in most fish and chip shops in the uk . The Chinese takeaway curry sauce is always good and the Chinese do fantastic chips.
I think it's become more popular over the years. The first time we had it with fish and chips they referred to it as an Irish curry. Not sure why.
Those Fish and Chips looked good.
They were really nice!
im sure they are pods i was going to sign me and my friends up for back in october for july/august we were thinking it was just too small for what we were needing but its nice to see it and them actually being decent for some people .....
Yes, we passed some others while driving around. Some of them looked smaller, but ours were great for us.
For your info, it is not incorrect for you to call those types of castle projections as turrets, but the more specific term for those that project from the walls is a "bartizan".
Thank you, Andrew!
Did you guys pass Eilean Donan castle on your drive from Glasgow to Skye. Some of the Highlander movie was filmed there.
That's fun. We didn't know that.
So glad u like uk. I'm a brit, i had to move to CA to get some sun. Watching this reminds me how dark it is there! I miss the fish and chips, eggs etc. The food is better quality I think. What do you think?
I think overall the UK food is better quality.
Not too sure about this sheep fixation: one of my aunts in Yorkshire could see sheep from her flat every day -they were usually in the garden finishing off all her flowers and vegetables.....
I guess when it's not something you see everyday it's more exciting. Cara loves seeing them.
so glad i watched till thje end lol.. "your mother was a hamster and your farther smelt of elderberries." "i will taunt you a seconbd time"
lol
😂😆😆
It was the Burt Reynolds seals for me 😆
Oh, man. It was pretty hilarious that Cara came up with that. 😆
I'm determined to get up to Skye as soon as I can
You hvae to do it at some point!
I watch all your videos Yous should go to Glasgow its the best place in the uk
We've been there briefly, but need to go back for at least a few days to expereince to more.
Love this video !!
Thank you!
The bits on a castle wall are called crenellations.
... and the little towers sticking out from the parapets might be called turrets.
Thanks! 👍
Great vlog! Loved the posing seals!🦭 Otter cousins 😉🦦❤
Hi , Come to Stonehenge
Hola, Good Day.
Hello!
Did you get bitten by the midges?l love the pod! Nice to see you so happy.
Thankfully, no. It was from a few weeks ago. Maybe it was still cool enough that they weren't out.
You just missed the heatwave. 😢. It’s been really hot this week on Skye .
I feel like it's been hot everywhere in the UK. So, I can imagine.
These two Americans have visited more great places in Britain than me and I’m English born and bred!
Puts me too shame.
There's so much to see!
Good video you have!
Thank you!
I recently returned from the Highlands (the mainland bit though)
It's still lovely there.
nice one on the Python pilgrimage
If you're that close you have to do it!
Are you going back to Brighton? It looked fun there by the sea.
We would like to at some point. I'm sure it's nicer now.
Carly makes my day!
Thank you! She's really sweet!
Best Line was "I fart in your general direction"
I’m head over heels for Carly! If you need a dog sitter let me know.🙂
Thank you, Tony! She's really sweet.
More smiles from me :D
It's lovely!
Tom Selleck OR Burt Reynolds ! 😂
😂
You said Dorset with a Dorset accent😂👍
Excellent!
How are you getting on with the long sunlit days?
They are honestly a little weird. We're getting used to it though.
Visit snowdonia in wales
We need to.
Speed bonnie boat ...
🚤
20:00 Actually, I don't think he is mispronouncing "knight". I think he's pronouncing it in an authentic Middle English way, for the period.
Certainly the K was not silent and I suspect you are right.
@@davidjackson2580 Except, I feel like the gh should really be more like a voiced aspirate, like ch in Scots or German. But I didn't go to Oxbridge, unlike the Pythons, so I might be wrong.
I did not know that. Thank you!
Should not take notice off food reviews, some are bogus.
That's fair.
Glamping = Glamourous Camping.
It certainly was glamorous.
AHH I'm so jealous
It's so beautiful!
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye.
There's so many songs and poems about the beautiful places here.
I love the pipes. I am pretty much the pacifist but if you want to get me to go to battle put a pipe band out front my courage will suddenly fill my chest and I will follow them anywhere !!
That totally makes sense. They definitely stir feelings.
I must say.. it looked a bit meh at this time of year. Was disappointed with the lack of greenery :(
This was a few weeks ago. I'd imagine that it's greener now.
i cannot beleive...you didnt go to the black cuillins....the uk most formidable mountain range...rising up from sea level, to over 3,000 ft....jagged, like sharks teeth.....most of the uk mountaineers from the past....did their training, on the black cuillins...before they went on to conquer the Himalayas!!!
I think the slightly undulating path @ 3:15 Was enough, never mind the Black Cuillins!
Wow, that sounds like a lot, but probably rewarding. Maybe someday.
Too many adverts😂😂🎉🎉🎉
the fish is over cooked when the batter detaches from the fish over cooked ask gordon ramsey he did say 3 minutes deep fried after that its getting cremated

It wasn't bad. It wasn't the best that we'd ever had either.
