Hey Natasha and Debbie hope you are well could you possibly react to 101 facts about Scotland it's on the same channel as 101 facts about the UK 😁👍🏴 p.s great video.
@@Davidjohnson-o6g In the future we may, since we literally just did 101 Facts about the UK it would be some time
Best time to visit depends on what you want to see and do.
Very early summer can be really good. Maybe June. Lots of the plant and animal life will be at its best. Slightly quieter than peak summer. The Edinburgh Festivals take place in August and that tends to make Edinburgh unbearably busy if you want to actually enjoy it, so unless you really wan to see some festival shows then avoid Edinburgh in August. Hotel prices are also absolutely crazy in August. Other option would be to wait until September.
Lots of places you can do by public transport. Rail route from Glasgow to Mallaig is rated as one of the most scenic in the world, and you can do the last part of the route on the Harry Potter steam train. Driving is better for exploring the country, but be ready for roads that are more narrow and more twisty than you're used to. I live in a small place on the banks of Loch Lomond and I've driven the route up from Glasgow to Eilean Donan castle loads of times. The road from Loch Lomond to Glen Coe is lovely and hugs the side of the loch for long stretches, but it's not a great road for driving on at peak times. The road through Glen Coe is one of the most scenic in Scotland. Its a trip you can do in a day, but there's the option of doing an overnight stay in Kyle of Lochalsh, before doing Eilean Donan the next day and then heading over the bridge to Skye.
Edimburgh is worth a couple of days. Glasgow you can do in a single day. I'd give at least a day for the journey from Glasgow up the west coast and then 2 or 3 full days on Skye. You could do a day in Inverness and then head down towards Perth. Head east to Dundee for a night and see RRS Discovery (Captain Scott's Antarctic voyage ship) , and take a trip to Glamis Castle. Glamis is a fantastic visit and that then lets you up to head south on the east side of Scotland to finish off in Edinburgh again.
Come over in June to August but the midges will be a thing.... Winters are very wet but then any time of year can be, winters aren't normally all that cold but not ideal for tourism.
late spring to early autumn ( fall ) would be good and might be a little bit busy with other tourists.
@@marvintpandroid2213 aye but often from Glencoe upwards the munros are covered in snow and its fantastic scenery. You're bang on about the midges though, I left another comment saying it depends where you are , close to water and wet long grass. Mind u I was at Loch Shiel in late August and never felt any, but when we stopped at Kingshouse on the way home I was eaten alive and covered in bites and that was only going from the car to the hotel,
Hi Ladies. Bless you for defending the unique pronunciation of Scotland - he actually made a bit of a pig's ear of most of the place names but I'm a Londoner, I only know them because I have a very good Scots friend and I've been up there several times. In the Highlands when the sun is shining you can be comfortable in a T-shirt from May to October but when it's raining you can freeze to death :-( When someone comes back from a holiday in Scotland looking brown you can never be sure if it's a tan or rust...
I look forward to the video of Driving Miss Debbie :-)
Hello, loves. You're right about the Skye grass. It's soft and spongy because it's usually damp and there's moss and peat under it. American grass is tough, spikier and the stalks are broad. I can't believe I'm spending my early Sunday morning comparing intercontinental grass textures. 💛
@@Mex1c070 Well spotted! I lived there as a tot decades ago. Now in the West Country but I still love that hill.
Nothing wrong with that.
First time I went to America I was quite shocked at how rough and tough the spikey American grass is!
@@iggle6448 Yep. Plus house numbers stencilled on the kerbs (curbs), that black goo instead of mortar between the concrete pavement slabs. The instant chill of walking into a bar with A/C. And people who immediately talk to you as if they genuinely want to.
@@Maxley.. I love the people who immediately and genuinely want to talk with me! You wouldn't believe the impromptu and fascinating chats I've had in the US with all sorts of Americans, from homeless vets and cleaning ladies to Mayflower bluebloods and presidents and everything in between. One learns such a lot about a country just listening to its people.
Being from Scotland 🏴 I really appreciate it when Americans or people from other countries take the time to learn the correct pronunciation of our cities and other places of interest. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber 😊
Well said! From this young man's video it's more than clear that he never spoke with any Scottish people when he was there! He would have learnt pronunciations...
Amen to that Gordon. These two girls have a new fan in me.
People may disagree, but May and early June are quieter times if you want peace- out of the school holidays. Additionally, September is great to see the autumn colours and deer and squirrels, if you’re lucky.
Also, thank you for standing up for Glasgow’s pronunciation!
Totally right, May, you have great long daylight hours and you avoid the Scottish school holidays. September is also nice but the nights are drawing in(getting darker earlier).
Scotland is absolutely breathtaking. Mark's paintings are incredible, the composition of the Hastings Castle is perfect.
It wouldn't be Sunday morning if we wasn't spending it with Natasha & Debbie! Thank you both for another great video..👍 I can see why the Queen felt most free and at her happiest in those Scottish hills..
And Mark, your paintings are stunning!
That's because the Queen was of Scottish ancestry
Nothing beats Scotland's scenery.
Absolutely nothing .
I grew up in NYC, but moved here to Glasgow in 1984.
Best move I ever made.
It never gets too hot or too cold. Rarely goes above 80F and winters are mild, although a little wet!
Because Scotland is quite small compared to the U.S.A., nowhere is too far to drive to. In half an hour, you can be in the mountains or by the sea.
There are numerous ferries leaving regularly to the islands if you fancy a day out, or you just hit the road, turn up some small road you've never been along before and see where it leads!! There is beautiful scenery around every corner and over every hill.
When the mists are floating between the hills and there is a light drizzle in the air, I've driven through some stunning hills and lochs expecting to see the Lady of the Lake offering Excalibur to the king of all the lands. I've driven down that same road in the blazing sunshine and you would hardly recognize it. Either way, just stunning!!
Driving on the other side of the road isn't as awkward as you might think. Just make sure to order an automatic car, because if you don't, you'll end up with a stick shift, which is the norm here.
The native population are generally very cool, indeed.
I love it here and would/will never leave.
Sure, I miss the bagels and pizza from New York, but worth it!!
You'll love it here too.
😎💜
I just spent 12 days in Scotland the first week of October. It was my first trip out of America and I did NOT want to come back home and I am already planning to go back. It was the most wonderful and magical experience I’ve ever had. Everything was so beautiful and everyone was so nice. The weather was….wet and while the temperature was around mid 40’s to mid 50’s if you dress nice and are walking ALOT like we were you will be comfortable if not get hot. I had a raincoat on most of the time and a scarf and would end up getting too hot. Our trip started in Edinburgh then took a train to Inverness and w got a car there. Then we drove down to Fort William and after a couple days there we headed to Isle of Skye for three days. Again, so much rain but it creates a certain vibe/mood and while the clouds and fog obstruct the view, that view is still stunning.
Thank you so much for travelling so far to enjoy my beautiful wee country, we love visitors. The effort you made to see my Scotland is appreciated. x
@@sndrka12 @itsayoutubeaccount we are coming back in October. And hopefully the October after that(if I have my way). If I could live there I would. The people were so amazing and as someone who had never traveled outside of the USA I was worried I would feel “out of place “ but nothing could be further from the truth.
Good for you I'm sure you'll be made welcome.
Best month to visit is June, the days are longest, sunrise is around 4am ans sunset is around 11pm
ua-cam.com/video/IMLona9oelM/v-deo.html
I stay in the North East of Scotland just north of Aberdeen and the temperature varies quite a lot. If you get a really decent day in summer it can be 75f and sunny but can also be rainy and 55f at the same time of year. Summer days are long - sunrise around 4am and sunset around 10.30pm in early July. Winters are cold and wet generally with short days, sunrise 8.45am and sunset 3.15pm in Mid December.
Thank for sharing your wonderful videos, you guys are amazing. 🏴❤️🇺🇲
I hate the short days. I'm from Aberdeen and worked near the airport in Dyce. Arriving at work in the dark and coming home in the dark sucked, then the snow falling down the back of the neck and icy roads. I'm now in Australia and planning to move back home in a few years to Peterculter. There is so much too see and do in Scotland if you love walking.
Scotland is such a beautiful country! I actually have that picture of the fairy pools as my wallpaper on my iPad, I’d love to go one day. Great video again 😁❤️
I love the paintings from Mark. How talented!….and what a beautiful gift ❤
Hi back cousin. Canadian but ancestry from Kilfinan, Argyll on Loch Fyne. Scots have contributed so much to the world, inventions, architecture, nation building, you name it. Amazing for such a small country. Beautiful scenery. Eerie solitude. Little wonder it's the home of so many legends and myths. I believe Scotland has more sheep than people.
Another great video girls. Loving your work. I live in Glasgow, and I love the way Natasha gets irked with the pronunciations of Glasgow and Edinburgh. You should check out the North Coast 500. One of the most scenic drives in the world.
I've done that drive a number of times...it's phenomenal and so well worth doing. ❤
I am so glad you liked the paintings and thank you for your very kind words.
Regarding the cold temperatures in the U.K., from visiting relatives from the colder parts of the US, or Canada who are used to 0 degrees f, the problem is the humidity, They feel colder at 30 f here than 0 at home. We have a wet cold, you, apparently, have a dry cold.
Edit, btw, you got the pronunciation of Pevensey pretty close.
Nice paintings mate, talented guy
@@christannock2027
Thank you.
❤️🏴love from Scotland. If you love Castles check out Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven on the East Coast, it’s magical too. Also, for a completely different experience of Scotland check out the East Neuk of Fife for beautiful fishing villages and coastline xx
I would say May/June is a good time, no midgies and you may even get good sunshine, and Scotland looks at her best. I personally love autumn into winter as the slight frost and fog is beautiful and the trees kindly give us their leaves to walk on like a carpet. Love from Scotland x
I laughed aloud when he said "Edinbro" and at your reaction .
I'm born and bred in Scotland and live vetween Glasgow and Edinburgh. I can look out my window and see a castle....its stunning.
There's old covenaters kirks all around me.....such history.
The castle at the start looks like Eilean Donan Castle.
Great video, great channel, love you 2 girls ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘
Oooh lucky you my friend, do you mind if i ask where you live?
Me myself don't have this pleasure 😂 im in a small town in North lanarkshire.
@@anneg5720 I'm in South Lanarkshire
Hi girls, another great video. As an englishman who has lived in Scotland for the last 55 years, I can understand the frustration of the pronunciation problems in the video you reviewed. A couple of standouts are Loch Lomond, pronounced Low-mond. I live close by and often hear this wrong pronunciation.
Sligachan on Skye is pronounced Slee-a-chan (ch as in loch).
Quiraing on Skye is pronounced Key-rang.
Hope you both get to visit Scotland sometime, I'm sure it will exceed your expectations. The midges tend to die down later in the year, October often has good light but can be unpredictable weather-wise.
Take care and keep the videos coming.
His pronunciation of lomond made my ears bleed
@@1nikg And Bidean nam Bian (The peak of the mountain). I would suggest late Spring, Summer, Autumn. In winter there is often deep snow, icy roads and strong winds. I live ten minutes' walk from a Castle and can look across the River Forth to Edinburgh , and on a clear day can make out the Castle. A whole floor of of Culzean (kullain) Castle was given to General Dwight D Eisenhower in appreciation of his actions during WW2. It is an hour from Glasgow, and is on the coast.
I always say never to visit the Highlands in August. Every man and his dog comes in August, probably due to the school holidays. But it can also be a very wet month, which does bring the midges out. I always say the best time to come is May or June it's usually the driest time, so there are fewer midges if any and it's not as busy. The temperature can reach around 82F but usually doesn't go above 77F.
@@AV-fo5de I live near Culzean Castle, it's well worth a visit . on a clear day you can see Ireland
@@1nikg We are lucky to live in such a beautiful country! I must do that some day. Thanks!
I’m actually with my dog, Molly, in a little cottage on the Scottish border and tomorrow we’re continuing north. Scotland and the Lake District are my favourite places. I posted a video yesterday of our drive over to Hardknot Fort.
Lived near Loch Lomond most of my life. I’d say, the best time to come over is April/May. Happy to drive you around. Love your videos
Spend most of my summer in loch lomond with the paddleboard 😂👌 malarkey bay 💖
Dear girls, in many places the 'grass' covers deep peat bogs where you can sink Upton the knees or more. It can be quite dangerous to leave paths. Scottish midges are quite small but attack in swarms any exposed skin. They drive you mad. They hang about near water, usually
during summer into autumn. We don't measure distance in UK by time but by actual mileage as travel time can vary according to conditions. Prepare for weather to change at anytime. Even in summer one can experience four seasons in one day, but we do get plenty of good weather.
Love you girls.
I prefer it in autumn 100s of colours of nature, snow topped mountains. No midges just wrap up well. Places not mentioned that I love are Strathpeffer, Oban, Braemar and Pitlochery all so different but all wonderful. Dont forget to look up at night!
It may be an age thing but every time someone mentions Harry Potter it sets my teeth on edge. Yes, l am grumpy about it. In the same way that some, mainly Americans, asked why The Outlander theme was played at The Queen’s funeral.
Indeed - and the Glenfinnan Viaduct called the Harry Potter bridge now.
I think it is called dumbing down!
@@lizbignell7813 When Harry Potter is forgotten about it will still be the Glenfinnan Viaduct and the place where Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Highland Gathering begain his failed coup in 1745.
And the 'Outlander' theme is a bastarized version of the original which attempted to portray a (romaticised) account of the Prince's escape to France aided by a Flora MacDonald, who was later forced to flee to the Americas wher she again picked the losing side during the American War of Independence. She again had to flee from the Carolinas to Nova Scotia. Much more behind those lyrics than the banal 'sing me a song' of Outlander, in my view.
You are both well informed as to the pronunciation of Glasgow as well as Edinburgh .As an Englishman i am limited when it comes to many other names in Scotland but just getting the basics is useful .
It wasn't just Edinburgh he couldn't pronounce right. Lots of pronunciation problems.
Hi from Scotland. One of the most beautiful countries in the world. June / July / August are the months for the best weather. If getting it sunny it can reach mid to late 20degrees.....at the same time you might get temperatures of 15 degrees or so. Winter time (Nov - Feb or so) can get down to minus 10 or thereabouts at some areas. Midges ( pronounced mid-jees) aren't too bad...Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands, Perthshire are must go to places to see. Enjoy ladies..!
As a Brit, with Scottish ancestry, I appreciate pronouncing the places correctly. Thank you.
The castle at the start is called Eilean Donan on the west coast. It’s been in a couple of Hollywood movies, most notably in Highlander
Natasha you are not the only American who has commented on how lovely the grass is.
But probably the ONLY one who REALLY wants to pet it!! 😉
I'm From England, But Scotland is beautiful 😍
Thanks Neil. ❤ 🏴.
Its a pleasure seeing people appreciating my homeland. I dont think Ive ever heard any guy butcher the pronunciation of places more than the guy who made the video you're reacting to.
The mangling of the place names is truly epic even by uT standards. Come end of May to end of July (or into August for the mad packed incredible Edinburgh Festival (but book accom. very early).
We are so lucky living where we do in Durham. Can get to the Northumberland National Park, Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Moors, Durham Dales all within an hour and Edinburgh not much further. This year we did route 500 around the North Coast of Scotland, as well as the capital and most of the lochs. Last year did all around Fort William and Skye. Know all of Scotland so well - it is so beautiful especially the highlands.
The small Islands around the fop of Scotland are beautiful as wall I spent time in Shetland and it's wonderful people
Good pronunciation ladies. It's a secret thing, but we all go out at night and pet our grass, it's why its so soft and comforting
Hi ladies, you are not the only ones who wants to go to Scotland, because I do too. It's such a magnificent looking place, I know I would like to look around the islands of sky, and mull. I know when it snows up there, alot of the time people get snowed in and can't get out in winter, suit me fine. I absolutely love the remoteness of it all. Great video thanks Natasha and Debbie 💖😁
Hi from the Highlands and Islands, living in Orkney I can honestly say Scotland has the most beautiful places and people. Everyone should visit The Orkney Islands at least once in a life time, just not winter our winds will blow you off your feet but the seas are stunning no matter what the time of year.
Come on, you should recognise Eilean Donan Castle. Any Queen fan would recognise it from Highlander :)
Eilean Donan Castle is stunning. He is mispronouncing every place it is driving me mad
June to September is the best time to visit Scotland. Around June the days are longer, so it’s possible to see more in daylight! If you’re in the country long enough, you could drive up the East Coast and back down the West Coast, where the scenery is more dramatic.
Shame I can’t send you a photo. I’ve driven down from Inverness to Fort William alongside Loch Ness and Lochaber for the first time in my 62 years. Simply incredible
Despite living in Glasgow, I'm not a city boy. But, less than an hour's drive, puts me on the shores of Loch Lomond. Three hours on a train gets me to Oban or Inverness... So it's not so bad.
u both amazing every video is gold pure gold
You're so kind!
Love you're video so much, i'm from Dunfermline Fife near Edinburgh, but living in Cardiff Wales at the moment..
Great reaction to the video and also the pronunciation of the videographer. Driving in the Highlands is for the most part single lane traffic with passing places dotted along the way. Unfortunately some people tend to think of them as picnic area's.
Enjoy your visit when do come I am sure it won't be your last. 😀 ❤️
Have to say ladies, smiled every time he missed pronounced Edinburgh & Glasgow and at you responses 😀, normally when Scots place names are missed pronounced I can normally let it be as even we in scotland have different ways to pronounce them, but when it comes to those two cities its hard not to keep correcting them. Now for times to come to Scotland best is between May to September. Temperature is usually around 84 to 87 Fahrenheit during summer but thats at its best but can normally be round 71 Fahrenheit and winter can get around -4 Fahrenheit but normally its closer to 23 Fahrenheit. Those paintings of Hastings and Pevensey Castle are beyond amazing mark.
Yup that right enough....I've heard plenty fellow Scots pronounce Milngavie as it looks...miln-gavy and I cringe......partly because I was one of those people years ago when we kicked off the west Highlands way. Every day is a school day
The temperature can get below -- , if you come to norfolk, we live 25 minutes from Sandringham and we take a picnic and the grandchildren love to play in Sandringham Gardens, you are so very welcome to stay with us xxxx
Great video as always Natasha and Debbie. The highlands are lovely, I went in May many years ago and it was lovely 😊 scenery is stunning. The paintings you received are amazing x
I'm from Scotland ❤ you guys are awesome 👍😎
I love these 2 ladies ,Thank you for Appreciating my Country ,love from Scotland x
This guy barely scratches the surface, spending most of his time on Skye and the road to Edinburgh. The rest of the country is the same but different. I'll happily drive you round if you come over.
Come over in summer you'll get 75 degrees some of the time, but we tend to offer all 4 seasons in one day. Spring is green, Summer is Yellow , Purple and Green, Autumn is red, yellow, orange and green.
Rainfall is lowest in the Highlands of Scotland in May. May and September might be the best time to visit the country. In June it doesn't get dark until 11 pm. Come and visit Scotland! Go to the islands of COLL and TIREE in the Inner Hebrides. I've been all over the world and those are two of the most beautiful islands I've ever seen.
A lot of people question why the brits had such a lasting impact around the world for such a small nation, but imagine waking up each morning and seeing the natural beauty you've been discovering in your video's and try not to be inspired by that, is it any wonder some of the greatest music, poetry, literary works and art have come from these green and pleasant lands
I live in England and I have been to many countries but Scotland is my favourite .It is Beautiful there and the people are lovely the mountains are Biblical it's stunning
Thank ye Linda ❤ fae 🏴.
The majority of these are in the Isle of Skye, which is gorgeous, but there are so many amazing places to see in Scotland. Personally I'd trade out Edinburgh castle for the nearby Linlithgow Palace, though it is cool to go to Edinburgh and go to the castle. You could easily spend a week in Edinburgh itself, there's so much to do and explore. If you are planning to go to a lot of castle in Scotland when you travel over it might be worth joining Historic Scotland - not all castles and historic places are part of them, but those that are, you can enter for free (for a small monthly subscription).
Hey Natasha & Debbie, to answer your question about the temperature, at the peak of summer it can reach 80f but will usually be 70-75f but with alot of humidity like Florida
Mark your castle paintings where fab, haistings was my fave amazing job.
June through mid September...
I agree also, because of the shifting Gulf stream, Scottish winters are more like longer Autumn's. Snow hardly falls in Scotland apart from the Highlands and Mountain ranges..
Loch Lomond, is stunning as is Loch Ness ..
Advice: the correct way to say the 'ch' in Loch is like hissing like a cat. Breathing out as you do... Chhhhh
Midges are everywhere hovering in groups, they hang near wet areas alot. Bites itch but harmless.
Did you know that from the top to the bottom of Britain it's only approx 900 miles long and nowhere is more than 70 miles from the sea.
Oh and we see sheep everywhere every day.
Definitely go in summer!
Ladies, Im remembering one of your last videos when you seemed shocked the population was quite low. Hopefully now you can see why. Lots of glorious open space.
We (Wales) play you guys (USA) on Monday. This will be our first world cup game in 64 years...I'm 30 so I could have lived twice before I saw my country in a World cup. Please can you react to Yma O Hyd before that game to give us Welsh some support
I’d recommend checking out Up Helly Aa. The Shetland Viking Festival.
A lot of Scottish Highlands is conservations. You can transit on foot anywhere in Scotland legally. So you can see it all. You just can’t set up camp or drive on private land
Ladies this is Ange
if u love windy roads Debbie u need to look at a place in Italy called Passo Stelvio It will blow ur mind !!!
This looked so beautiful
There's a whole bunch of options for touring Scotland - it depends on how long you're coming for & what your targets are to give recommendations
Weather-wise it's a gamble - your best bet's June/July/August, but there isn't really a constant month that's annually the "sunny" one.
Temperatures are tricky. The air is usually more humid/damp, so 22C/72F might not be the temperature you're relating to.
Contrary to what people might think, the Scottish sun can be savage - so, sunscreen on sunny summer days
If you're coming for a few weeks then keep an eye on the weather forecast and plan to do the 'mountains/scenery' stuff (where you need to actually see a fair distance to make the most of it) in the good weather, and city/museum/history type stuff when the weather's a bit more naff.
High pressure: friend; low pressure: waterproofs, decent boots, snorkel; mixed: plan for a change in weather every 10 minutes -- do not assume the good weather will hold out for your entire holiday and put something off.
Also, if you get lucky with the sun you should check out Ayr beach for sunbathing days - beautiful sand and warm enough location to not die.
Midges. Midges are like miniature mosquitoes, at 1.4mm.
You can be hit by swarms of thousands (*it sounds like I'm exaggerating, but I'm not) - some places will be worse than others.
They don't like wind much, so if there's even a slight breeze you'll be fine(ish). Chances are you won't be able to avoid them, so prepare your epidermis. Some folk have worse reactions than others - good luck!
There's repellent, but it has mixed results. There's also some 'after bite' care products to sooth the bite
I'd love for you to do a 'react' to this "One Minute Midge Challenge!" video from the BBC - it's family friendly, and I promise you he's not just acting up for the camera
ua-cam.com/video/WzUlj6eTehA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BBCTheSocial
Come late May and June for the long daylight hours (3hrs of darkness) or September to see scenery changing as we head into Autumn
Just to let you guys know he said Gen-fie-nan its Glen-Fin-Nan, thats about 40 mins drive from my home in Ardnamurachan. if you want to know where Ardnamurachan is see 6:00 the bit of land that goes way out west that has Kilhoan on it thats ardamurchan and my home is mentionsed there its Glenborrodale, Named after a viking warrior that was burried called Borridil. Yeah Midgies is like mosquitos, when there has been rain stay away from Tree's and bushes. Yeah if your use to mosquitoes dont worry about them! 13:00 yeah alot of our islands arent very big the Isle of skye is only 50 miles by 25 miles. Avg temp in summer moneths is 17 c (63f) but we have been getting in upwards of 23c (73.4F) recently, if you on the coast it will be cold and windy, esp at duncansby stacks! Most historical sites are owned by the National Trust for Scotland. Yeah you have numerous areas of sheep goats and even Hingland Cattle roaming the glens and roads! Best time to visit is May-August. Where abouts are your scottish roots? Hastings and Pevensey castle are located in england, England has around 4000 castles, scotland has around 1000 and wales has around 430, Great Paintings. Great video Guys!
Thanks for correcting the narrator, nearly everything was pronounced incorrectly. Scotland is unique in that we have the right to roam, which means we can walk through farmland without being shot. Max temperature about 86F (30c), on a really hot summer's day. Love the show
Hi from Scotland, I really enjoy your channel :)
Thank you Amy! ❤️
Hi hun’s Scotland is very beautiful Scottish and proud xx
New Subscriber to your channel. Love the channel and love this video. I am a Scotsman, living in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The guys pronunciation was toe curling but the video great. There is so much more to Scotland than the places he mentioned. We also have Glasgow - a diverse and deep heritage city. Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Ayr, Perth. All gorgeous cities.
If you need a tour guide when you both come to the country, we have plenty of choices from all your Scottish subs.
Merry Christmas. X
If you come to Scotland I will drive you around. You show such respect for my country I would be proud to do so. Visit july or august. Regards David.
Fairy glen, the isle of sky beautiful 👍
As an Englishman, I find Scotland beautiful. I used to go up there regularly for work around Inverness and Campbelltown. Luckily, I only generally went there in late Spring and Summer, when it wasn't too 'Dreich'!
BTW. Personally if you want to 'do Edinburgh' or the other touristy bits, don't go during the School holidays. Mid to late June is a good bet? Not usually too cold then either?
Fellow Englishman here. I feel the same way.
Midges are nasty little beasties. They attack in squadrons and before you know it, you'll be covered in itchy red lumps.
The Scottish Highlands are absolutely beautiful and are really great to visit. Whenever I driver from Inverness to Fort William, I keep one eye on the road and the other on the loch trying to see if Nessie will make an appearance.
Scotland is scarcely populated and there's loads of open space to enjoy between May and September. Temperatures would be approx 70f
Edinburgh in Christmas is magical.
Coming to Scotland is probably best April to end of June, with a wee gap of a couple of months and then don't forget September right through to early November. Also, it is a habit for many to think 'it is always raining' that is just a myth. Yes it's generally always raining SOMEWHERE but not everywhere. The weather is usually from the Atlantic but not always so it is generally wettwer in the west thereby protecting the east. If the weather is Easterly, Vice Versa. The Highland differ across their ranges and it's just fantastic to get away from the 'beaten track' of tourism. Don't forget the Scottish Borders (Reiver Country) so wild and empty. I could go on. As a tour guide covering all of Scotland and the vwery north of England I can't get enough...never mind my guests!
If you ladies ever get the chance ,you must visit the magical Islands like Iona and Arran and step back in time and go to the Shetlands,Orkney and the outer Hebrides .
They are almost mystical
The castle at the start of the video is “Eilean Donan Castle” which featured in the Movie Highlander.
I dont know if you have heard of the NC500? The NC500 is a route you an drive round, 500 miles through Scotland. Lots of places to stop and see. You can take shorter or longer trips. Lots of books and websites dedicated to it.
I highly recommend the Outer hebrides, take a ferry from Skye over to the Isle of Harris, its absolutely beautiful. Incredible beaches with mountainous back drops.
The castle at the beginning is Eilean Donan castle up in the western highlands. It’s stunning! Watching these videos gives me soooo much pride🏴♥️Love seeing Edinburgh Castle, have the absolute pleasure of working nightshift near the castle and can look out over it all lit up during the night♥️Holyrood House is where Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was taken to from Balmoral when she passed away. Also had the honour of going to pay my respects to Her Majesty when she lay in St Giles. You REALLY have to come visit! Sending love from Edinburgh😘✌🏻🏴🇺🇸
As a Scot I would say look at Route 500 includes a lot of driving and planning though but worth every second its stunning.
I live around 20 minutes from the lake district so Scotland is very close! ..I love Scotland especially the drive up there as it's so Incredibly beautiful..lots of trees and mountains ..I love going in the winter because the snow makes it so magical! It's on my doorstep but don't go enough..but I think we are all guilty of that ..as many of us don't visit London much either and its only 2 hours away ...Edinburgh is amazing you both have to visit..but my favourite place in Scotland in Stirling its just so beautiful..when you step of the train you are surrounded by mountains its just stunning...hopefully you will both visit soon..❤😊..Mark's paintings are fabulous..what a beautiful gift and so thoughtful..
As for best time June to August is your peak time for Sunshine, as for winters depending where you are - average maybe -3C about 26/27F in the mountain regions and Skye in this video. More lowland maybe around 0C about 32F.
You tell the difference between a Scottish winter and Summer
.......the rain is warmer !!😂😂
Just something you might like to watch Ladies, a tune called "The Geal" by a Scottish Military Band, and it also shows you scenes of our lovely Country, it is on youtube!
Best time to visit is off season, say about May/June and just as autumn starts
The trees and landscape takes on so many rusit colours
Hi Natasha and Debbie .myself and my partner Gareth actually live on the isle of Skye and all the sights you saw we see everyday .the fairy glen is 5 mins up the road and the quirang is behind our croft we live on top of the cliffs in earlish so have the best of both worlds .love the way you want to learn the correct pronunciation of the areas 👍I noticed on the video he called loch Lomond loch lemon 🤣🤣.midges are a problem from about march to October and do bite when the wind isn't strong enough to stop them flying .tourist season is from about may to October and I wouldn't advise coming after that as most places are closed and accomodation is hard to find .if you ever come to Skye I'll be happy to show you around the north side of Skye .best wishes Sharon and Gareth .x
I can collect them from the Mallaig ferry...
I was up in the West Highlands just a couple of months ago. Wow!
You have Chironomidae over there. But they're non-biting midges you call lake flies or muffleheads. Midges are very small flies, normally bitey but you can barely feel it.
Though the 2 major cities (Glasgow & Edinburgh), the Highlands and the western part of Scotland has always been a tourist fave, please give the east coast side of Scotland a visit. You'll find some gems along the way. From Queensferry Crossings to St.Andrews, then Dundee, Aberdeen to Elgin. There is a coastal walk route with breathtaking views. It is less touristy and it's a more intimate view of Scotland.
I live just a few miles from the Duncansby stacks. There's a large seabird colony on the cliffs so it's a conservation area
I went to a wedding in Eilean Donan Castle. It's an amazing place and has been seen in so many films and TV shows.
I can see why someone touring Scotland wouldn't go in to every castle, there's just too many and they can take hours to get round.
The best bit is usually the outside anyway. Pick a couple of special ones for longer visits.
I've been loving your videos, I'm quite a new subscriber but have grown very fond of you both. We're proud to have you as a fellow Scot Natasha and think we should adopt Debbie as an honorary Scot we need both of you!!! 😅I'm from up in the Highlands myself, Inverness! Where Nessie likes to swim 😂
April-June often has good bursts of sunny weather, we can sometimes get up to 82.4°F=28°C if we're lucky ( in Scotland, England can normally get a little higher)
If you do visit us and are worried about midges there are also some more natural and organic ways to deter them from biting you (I've seen from your videos that you like to be careful about what's in things you use, that they're not only safe but, environmentally friendly and as natural as possible) they can be quite itchy (especially once you itch one by accident or your clothes rub against them 😭) like certain essential oils(eucalyptus, lavender,lemon and citronella) or lighting a candle with one of the scents too if you were having a wee picnic among others but you both might be some of the lucky ones and not be bothered by them, like my mum. Whereas they were like bees to hunny with me when I was little. I used to run around crying and swatting at the air while my mum chased after me with the bug spray yelling at me to stay still. Soon learned through that if I sat near her while she smoked then stayed away too. 😅
Anyway I've rambled enough for one day I'm looking forward to more videos and so hope you come to Scotland one day it is gorgeous, even when it rains and we'd be chuffed to have you both ☺️🥰☺️🏴
Going on my honeymoon with the wifey in these places and cant freaking wait. We are driving from Ireland, Belfast - doing the Titanic experience + Hotel and getting the ferry over. You need to get over to Scotland or Ireland for a holiday its so beautiful over here. Bring clothes for ALL weather.
Great video! Reminds me of my holiday to Scotland back in the summer. I was lucky enough to visit most of these places on the list and there wasn't anywhere I wouldn't go back to. Glad you liked the rocks I sent you :)
i live on Skye close to the Talisker whisky distillery its an amazing place......the castle you were asking about is called Eilean Donan castle....its only a short way from the bridge that takes you over to Skye
Another brilliant video. Those paintings are fabulous!
To really appreciate Eileen Doonan Castle from afar, watch the movie ‘Maid of Honor’ with Patrick Dempsey. Parts are filmed there!!
Scotland tho….. the Highlands are closest you will EVER get to heaven on earth. I’ve been a couple of times and it’s like I land in Edinburgh and my soul breaths free for the first time in ages.
Go!! GOOOOO!!!!! You won’t regret it.
