- We explore one of the most historic areas in all of Scotland, North East Fife. A centre of the Pictish empire, the crucible of Christianity in Scotland and a world famous home of learning and Golf this part of the world squeezes a lot into a small area.
Fortified tower houses, castles, cathedrals, museums and some really nice places to eat... whats not to like??
Best not to mention the Mabel related reversing mishap...

I absolutely love your commentaries!! Not many things make me laugh out loud……hilarious! St Andrew’s looks wonderful and is definitely on my list for a visit. Thank you for sharing your adventures - Hope Mabel is ok. 😊
Thank you for the kind words, and Mabel will be fine. We’ve got loads of adventures to have so she’ll have to be :)
Another great video. I love how you show us some of the less-touristy things as well as a bit of the touristy things, if that makes sense. So sorry to see that you damaged Mabel's backside. I hope it isn't too costly to repair. Oh, and y'all clean up well (you look nice all dressed up). :)
Thank you!! We do try to find less obvious places to visit.
Hi, from Edinburgh Scotland 🏴
I love a good castle, graveyard and a cathedral also. Loved seeing the Pictish art. Beautiful views from the top of the tower. TFS ❤
Thank you for the kind words, we love feedback like this
Love this. I am of largely Scottish descent. My mom (whose maiden name was Brown) her family is from the Fife area (Kircaldy area is one I know of for sure) And my dad's family was largely from Iona and were kicked off by the Duke of Argyll in 1849....both mom and dad's families ended up here in Canada. So the Skye Life Channel pointed me to your channel and I am loving them both.....thanks for the visual tour or areas where my ancestors may have trod. I love see it.
For a wee country the branches of its family tree reach far and wide. Thanks for the feedback :)
Loving your channel! Hello from Idaho USA, have been 3 times to Scotland. And it's getting time to come over again! Thanks again for such a nice channel.
It’s our pleasure! Hopefully we can point you at some less obvious places to visit.
I especially appreciated the mine stairs. They were smooth as glass. Many boots climbed those.
The stamps, views and art were so special to see.
Thanks for the package tip to access it all. Every penny counts..well we don't have those anymore, but you get my drift.
Not sure why but have a fascination with grave markers and tomb stones. Always enjoyed learning about the markings and bit of history.
Thanks for letting us tag along.
Thank you so much for joining us on our wee journey.
I love ❤️ St Andrews.
Us too!!
We the viewers are glad that you our tour guide is in good shape or we would not have enjoyed that view. What a beautiful place. And no I don't golf and I am Canadian. As I said before I enjoy your humor throughout your VLOGS. Thanks for showing the gravestones they are so unique.
Thanks again for the kind words, they keep us going :)
Another lovely outing! Deniro was there! So cute!
He’s the star of the show
Amazing mine footage!! ❤
It’s a brilliant place to visit, history you can touch.
Great video as always . Lucky with your weather as well. Not sure if I would like to go down to the mine 😳.St Andrews is a lovely place 👏
The mine is interesting but must have been a whole different experience with candles and the fear the enemy were going to blow theirs up at any moment.
great tour!!!
Thank you
Great episode! Thank you! Totally enjoyed it!
Thank you so much!!
This American is a bit of a royalist, and very much enjoyed this look at the environs where William and Catherine met and fell in love 🩷
And the second hat was perfect for Bex. It looked cool.
I love the fact that there’s so much of our countries history in that wee place, right back to King Robert the Bruce with the royal connections coming bang up to date.
My father’s family is from Cupar. Top of my list of trips is to visit Scotland!!
Cupar is such a nice wee town, with an excellent old-style tearooms. We love it.
I love St Andrews. Need to go back and spend some time there. Hopefully on a nice day. Any other time I’ve been it’s been cold, wet and windy.
Yeah, it's usually like that. We've been very lucky with the weather since we started our wee channel.
Another great video. Good on you for exploring the mine (couldn't do it!) and climbing St Rules. We had a chuckle at the other visitor's face when you appeared at the top. A heck of a climb. Sorry to hear about Mabel's drama. These things happen but we always hope they don't happen to us!
St Rule’s almost killed me. I was filming the stairs in one go and didn’t want to stop…
@@scotlandonashoestring take it easy. You don't want to be seeing the sands of time or skull and crossbones up close and personal.
I can empathize with your fraught moment, l have backed into a few things over my 50 yr driving career, poor Mabel.
Yeah, it was a bit of an “oops” moment.
If you are getting negative feedback regarding your frequent usage of the word pretty; may I suggest: attractive, lovely, good looking, nice looking, fetching, preposessing, appealing, charming, delightful, nice. Or quaint, picturesque, old fashioned, old world.
Ooh, that’s a pretty good list, thank you 😊
@@scotlandonashoestring I do enjoy your sense of humor.
Bloody rip off merchants for the parking!! Three bloody quid to park your van! You only want to park, not buy the flaming place!!
Given how quiet it was I think our £3 will probably just about cover the cost of the parking machine :)
@@scotlandonashoestring Should do away with the parking bandit and make it free!!
