Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- We are spending our last day in Edinburgh and Glasgow before we fly back to the US out of Scotland. We stop at Mary's Milk Bar again with our friends Shaun and Caroline, check out the Grassmarket Farmers' Market, and head to Glasgow, where we explore the city, checking out sights like Glassgow City Chambers, the Duke of Wellington Statue, and even visiting a Primark for the first time.

Snoopy socks for the win👍
Maybe you could try Shropshire. it is a hidden gem of a place not even known by most Brits. It's where England joins Wales to the far west of the Midlands. It's beautiful, and real.
I don't think Ive seen any videos of US visitors going East, to Suffolk/Norfolk. There's some very nice coastal towns including Southwold, or the completely different and good fun, Great Yarmouth. Norwich is also a really nice city, with a great cathedral. Cambridgeshire is a bordering county, which of course has the world famous, and historic University town of Cambridge, most defiantly worth a visit!
@@simonrobbins8357 Part English, my commiserations lol
I'll recommend the county I moved to because I think it is the most stunning in England and that is Dorset. There is just so much in it and near it.
Durdle Door is considered the star of the show and is at the heart of England's only UNESCO natural world heritage site the Jurassic Coast.
As an Englishman, Give Glasgow a chance. It is transforming itself from a ship building port with a tough reputation to a city of culture. From the Kelvingrove museum to Billy Connolly and a few other famous sons, not to mention among the finest chocolate confection companies, Tunnocks. I lived and worked with a few Glaswegians, rough n tough, but loyal friends.
We didn't do it justice for sure. We need to go back and see more.
All my kids are Glaswegian. I got there via Faslane.
I'm English too and have worked in Glasgow. Love it, great, vibrant city.
@@stevehessle1959 I am at this moment eating a Tunnocks caramel wafer, purchased right here in Canada, we have a Scottish Shop not far away. You cannot beat Tunnocks! I am from Edinburgh.
"Transforming itself into a city of Culture"??
Scottish Opera
Scottish Ballet
National Theatre of Scotland
Royal Scottish national Orchestra
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
All of the above are and always have been based in Glasgow. Glasgow is and has been for a very long time the cultural hub of Scotland and the number two cultural uk city outside london.
The problem is tourists and the Scottish tourist board are only interested in Promoting Edinburgh, which as most Scots know is the most un Scottish place in Scotland!!
I am going to really miss this series, please come back soon I have loved every one of these videos your enthusiasm is infectious. I really hope you have both enjoyed this trip as much as it looked like you did
We really did love our time there. We are planning our next trip and it should be soon.
@@TheMagicGeekdom I am so glad you enjoyed it, on your next visit you might like to try the New Forrest where wild ponies and deer can be seen regularly it's beautiful or maybe the Forrest of Dean which is also stunning and if you are lucky you might see a wild wallaby! Crazy as it sounds there are several spots in the UK where wallabies now live in wild populations & the forest of Dean is one of those places
Statue was to James Watt 1736 -1819 - inventor of the steam engine no less. Well he made major improvements to its efficiency and allowed it to kickstart the industrial revolution He was born just down river from Glasgow in Greenock.
yup, my hometown 😊
Thank you. We need to look to look into the history there a bit more for sure.
As Watt developed the concept of horsepower, the SI unit of power, the watt, was named after him. On 29 May 2009, the Bank of England announced that watt along with Matthew Boulton would appear on a new £50 note. The design is the first to feature a dual portrait on a Bank of England note
The steam engine was already invented, Newcomen invented one of the first practical one. Watt improved it by adding the separate condenser making it far more efficient.
@@TheMagicGeekdom
I made a wee video about James Watt here:

You guys really had a great go here in the UK. Glad you had a good time.
We really did. Thank you for watching it!
Glasgow is the coolest city in UK closely followed by Manchester. I live in London but find it too big!! I really enjoyed your videos, hope you come back!! 🇬🇧🏴🇪🇺
Agreed! I am based in Edinburgh but whenever we go over to Glasgow it has such a refreshing, authentic vibe!
You’ve had a great adventure. Look forward to more of your trips
Thank you, Ant! We have more things coming up!
Everything you have done guys has been great and pleasurable too watch, so glad you enjoyed your visit and look forward too your next escapades in our beautiful country, take care and stay safe xx
If you want too see beautiful scenic views then I recommend you visit the highlands of Scotland 🏴 pure magic!
Thanks so much! We are planning our next trip now. We look forward getting back to your country.
I'm English. I've lived in Glasgow 17 years. I love it here.
Enjoyed this series. You defo need more time in Scotland. Glasgow , the West Coast and Highlands especially.. its so thick with history and beauty. I live outside Glasgow and its a fab city with loads to see , great restaurants and nightlife.. also enjoyed the rest of your tour, lived and visited a few of the places . 😀🏴
Thank you! We do need to visit more in Scotland.
Loved all of your UK trip but seeing a very happy dog at the end was the icing on the cake.
Thank you! We were sad to leave, but we really did miss her.
Glad you liked our little country 🏴
Thank you, Dave! We really love it there.
So happy you both had a great holiday with us ooops sorry Vacation lol. Enjoyed watching your travels across the UK. Hope to see you back here soon. 😀
Thank you so much, Steve! We hope to be back fair soon.
I've enjoyed watching your experiences so much....thankyou xx
Thank you for watching, Joanne!
Always glad that visitors to our nation, are left with a good impression. We are kind to visitors and I like to see them leaving, with happy memories. Good flight home.
Everyone we really lovely to us. Honestly, the worst experience we had (Which wasn't even that bad.) was with other Americans. 😂
Come back soon xx love these videos. So nice to be reminded how cool our country is xx
Your country is very cool! I think we'll be back fairly soon!
Aaw really enjoyed your UK videos. Always interesting to see how other people find it. Glad you got to visit lots of places, hope you return soon x
Thanks so much! 😊 We are planning our return trip right now.
Stay longer in glasgow next time!!! There's so many cool things to see, and eat!!!
We really need to. We didn't get to experience nearly enough.
I have really enjoyed your adventrues around the UK, you make great content and you are both so sweet, calm and kind.
Thank you so much. That really means a lot to us. Thank you for watching!
I really enjoyed all your travels in the Uk especially your time in London. We went to Bread Again at Borough Market after seeing your video and honestly had the best doughnut ever. Your enthusiasm for my country has been such a pleasure to watch. Hope you come back soon 1
Thank you, Gillian! That's so cool that you went to Bead Ahead because of us. They had such good doughnuts. We are planning our next trip and look forward to seeing London and all of the UK again.
Ah, as a native to Glasgow, it was great to see this video - hope you enjoyed my home city!
It’s been a joy to watch your UK adventures, like many I will miss these vlogs. Hope to see you back soon! 👍😘
Had a great time watching you travel thru our country i am glad that you enjoyed it
Thank you, Vincent. We really loved our time there. We hope to be back fairly soon.
@@TheMagicGeekdom look forward to the next adventure...keep safe
Living just 9 miles south of the border, I regularly travel up to Glasgow. (Just over an hour on the train) Much prefer it to snotty Edinburgh.
If I have to stop to ease by back and hip, within seconds someone will come and ask , "Y'All reet there hen?"
The best fish&chip shop is Blue Lagoon just outside Central Station. Every time I go up there, I bring home 3 or4 steak pies and deep fried Mars Bars!
Loved the video, that Primark is massive compared to our Northamptonshire one. Cant wait to see your next uk trip on screen. Thankyou
Thanks for watching! If everything goes as planned we should be back soon!
The Grassmarket is where they used to hold public hangings. Householders in the square would rent their windows to people who wanted to sit in them and get a really good view.
Fortunately for you guys sausage rolls are really easy to make. You’ll need ready made puff pastry (comes in rolled up sheets) sausage meat , an egg and seasoning. Loads of recipes online on the how to and you can give your sausage rolls a glow up with some fancy ingredients.
We'll have to look some recipes up and try them.
Can't beat homemade sausage rolls. So easy to make as well
As a Glaswegian thank you for enjoying my city.
I loved that shop at St Enoch’s with all the locally made Glasgow gifts and crafts! I got some really good souvenirs there.
Wonderful video. Hope you had a fabulous time in the UK. Looking forward to more content xx
We had such a great time. We hope to be back fairly soon.
Thanks for all your enjoyable videos! Come back soon, there's so much more to see!
Thank you, Cath! We think we will be back fairly soon.
So glad to see there's more of these. I binged watched all your other ones and have been hoping there'd be more
Thank you, Paul! We really loved our time there. We're hoping to be back fairly soon to see more and share more.
Really enjoyed your blogs from 1st to last.Hurry back!
Thank you so much, William! We really loved it there.
My wife loves Scotland and she particularly loved Edinburgh, I said to her wait until I show you Glasgow, poo poo was her reaction it’s just full of shipyards and factories, one day later she absolutely loved it and ever since when we holiday in Scotland Glasgow is our base, try it out the Glaswegian,s are super nice and will go that little bit extra to help, no I’m not from Glasgow I’m from Ireland and after all the beauty at our doorstep if I say it’s worth a visit then it’s good especially the museums
Great to watch guys and hope you come back soon !
Thank you, Matt. We're hoping to be back fairly soon.
I was really impressed by Glasgow when I visited 2ish years ago. You hear people bad mouthing the place because its history is a bit iffy but I have to say I loved the place.
I love Glasgow. Actually, I prefer it to Edinburgh. Less touristy, but with lots of great things to see and do. Brilliant museums, and they are free to get into! Brilliant cafes with the most wonderful ice cream sundaes (just look for a cafe with an Italian name…still owned by families who came over to Glasgow in the 19th century).
We have to go back and experience more of the city. We didn't get to do much.
Have loved your videos. Can’t wait for the next adventure, wherever that may be 👍🏻
Thank you Andrea! We have more to share and hope to be back in the UK soon.
@@TheMagicGeekdom great, I can’t wait and I’m so glad you love the UK so much ❤️ enjoy time with your dog and family now you’re back home, bet you’ve missed them loads
What a great series of videos. I loved these.
Sad to see you guys leave. It's been great being with you on your journey. Keep safe xx
Thank you, Chris. We hope to be coming back fairly soon.
Loved every second of your travels and will miss them. Haste ye back from bonny Scotland ♥️
Full credit to venturing outside of London and getting "stuck in"...
Next time, Brighton, Portsmouth Historic Dockyards.....I just realised I could go on and on....so much you did, but SO much you've missed.
It really is the Big Small Island.
There is so much that we haven't seen. We hope to be back soon. Thank you for watching!
Love these videos so glad to see this one as I live in Glasgow xx
I loved every video, it will be cool to see what you guys get up to next, I'm going to rewatch your videos as I've enjoyed them... another possible Idea is to show us brits around your town and what it is like in Portland... what are the good restaurants, what's the Walmart like, is there any American history, I know you guys will deliver !! let's go =D
Thank you! Those are some ideas to definitely consider making. We're hoping to make it back to the UK soon as well.
Really glad you enjoyed your trip around the UK. I live here and learnt loads and added a few things to my bucket list; especially some of the food you enjoyed!
Thanks for taking us on the trip with you and glad you got home safely.
Thank you so much for watching! We loved it and are so glad we could help you find some new things to do too!
Loved all of your UK visit uploads. You guys are great to watch 🙂
My sort of home town, it’s the closest big city to me. Glad you enjoyed the fabled pizza crunch, I love it! That Primark you went to is the best in Scotland IMO, haven’t been in ages and think I’m due a visit. Re George Square statues, I was well into my 20s when I found out who the guy on the top of the column was, it’s the writer sir Walter Scott. There’s also a figure on a horse who I thought was a medieval king but is a young Queen Victoria. The rest: don’t know.
P.S: haste ye back! 🏴🇬🇧
Thank you, we both had a laugh over Queen Victoria not being a knight.
We hope to be back fairly soon.
If you ever make it over to the Emerald Isle, Ireland, substitute Penneys for Primark, the same company just a different name. A different food culture to master, Black and White pudding, Crubeens (Pigs Trotters, feet), Bacon and Cabbage with white sauce and mash. Great seafood, at least here in Cork.
We would love to visit Ireland too.
Soo glad you arrived home safe and sound take care 🤩
Sausage rolls are really easy to make. As a brit living in the US I make my own all the time. Just breakfast sausage, add a little sage. Roll in puff pastry and bake at 375' for 25mins
How can you get proper sausage meat in the states?
Thank you, it's been great watching you explore our country 😀Best wishes.
Thank you, Paul. We loved our time there and are planning our next visit.
I've really enjoyed following all your travels.
Can’t wait for you guys to come back :) Thank you for coming to see us all :)
We're planning our next trip! It's hopefully coming up soon! Thank you for watching. 😃
@@TheMagicGeekdom this is SO exciting!!!! I love that plan. You are both very very welcome. You made an excellent job of showcasing our countries, and you are both a pleasure to watch exploring everywhere. 💖
Thanks for visiting the UK. You are amazing! On a return trip make sure to visit Ireland too!!!
Thank you! We loved it and are planning our next trip.
@@TheMagicGeekdom Let me know if you need a man on the ground for any ideas :) Or a nerdy tour guide!
I was really entertained watching you both on your trip here, and am so pleased you had a great time.
Come back soon guys 🇬🇧🇺🇸😊
Thank you, Alec! We're hoping to be back pretty soon.
Great to see the Uk via your travels, many places I have not seen and would love to - thanks for sharing your tour, cannot wait for the next 💖
Thank you both for this very entertaining vlog. Really glad you appear to have had a good visit to our country. Come back soon
Great vlog 👍 Glad that you got back safe and sound!
I'm from London. Absolutely love it here. You're vlog reignited my excitement for London. 100 times better in the winter!
Glad you both had a good time and experience here :)
Great Series you two. I hope you learnt as much about the UK as we have learnt about You.
Cheerio, and Hurry Back 😘
thank for all the vlog guys great to see a lot of the uk as im coming back to live there after 25 years living abroad hope you come back one day would love to meet you both till then take care from the uk :)
Thank you, Tracy! We are planning our next visit now.
Glad you enjoyed your trip to the UK. You certainly saw lots, and tried all kinds of interesting foods.
Well guys have enjoyed your adventures, you showed me some places in the uk that I have nt been to, so that was great, but the most I will take from your trip is food, food ,fooooooooooood haha, thanks you two, se ya soon!
Thank you, Stephen. Hopefully, we'll back back soon!
You two have been an absolute delight and I've thoroughly enjoyed all your videos. Well done for being such open-minded, non-shouty visitors to the UK. Throughout, though, I've worried about your choice of food and the ramifications of it on your health and longevity. Please, please promise me you'll eat healthily from now on. You're too sweet to say goodbye to. xx
Thank you for the sweet words. We don't always eat like that. We didn't show things that we thought were more everyday things (sandwiches and salads) We also rarely eat like that at home.
@@TheMagicGeekdom Phew, I'm so relieved! Very best wishes for your future adventures.
You'll kick yourselves to know you were just 25 minutes away from the Tunnock's Factory and they have a bakery shop nearby as well!
I just told Cara. She gasped and said, "Really?!" I think she's a bit sad she missed out. I guess that means we have to come back.
@@TheMagicGeekdom yeah, really. It's in Uddingston!
Quite a few Americans come to the UK and forget to leave. Despite the weather, they find it most congenial !
You should have gone into Amsterdam. The train goes direct from Schiphol to the city and takes less than 15 mins and they go every few minutes. I live in Glasgow and often connect in AMS with a 5/6 hour layover and always go into the city. You could have seen the entire city in that time
We need to really visit Amsterdam next time. We're planning on some train travel on our next trip.
You will have to come back and visit us up in the Highlands.
We really need to.
We will miss you here in the uk !
We definitely miss the UK, but we're planning our trip back now.
👍💜👍👍💜💜. So glad you enjoyed Scotland👍👍👍💜💜💜. So much more to see....maybe next 👍👍👍💜💜💜
We really didn't see enough of Scotland. We have to come back.
It’s such a pity you spent all your time in cities - you missed so much of the stunningly beautiful coast and scenery!
Well that's our street food local market. When I first moved to Edinburgh I worked at a different market here on a stall next to Harajuku. They were fun folks. They have a restaurant these days too in Tollcross/Bruntsfield
It's a really fun little market. we'd love to come back and just experience a few more days in Edihburgh.
I absolutely love watching your travels around the uk and beyond,
I live in London and you have given us as a family great staycation ideas ❤️
There is a discount card in the uk called Tastecard, they normally have £1 deals for 3 months, it gives you 50% off your food in so many restaurants all over the UK you just enter you postcode and the deals pop up and discounts of hotels and loads of great activities,
Hope that’s of some use ❤️
Excited for your next video 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for the tip! That could be really helpful! We hope to be back soon. Thank you so much for watching!
It's been a blast to follow your trip! Still a bit bummed we never got to hang out, so you better make it back to the UK soon! .)
That dog is adorable I don't think I could leave it behind
Glad you enjoyed yourselves…. Ya see, as they say…. ‘All good things come in small packages’ 😉
Absolutely. Thank you for watching.
The strange thing for me is that you’re sat at the same table I sat at in Schiphol airport 10 years ago whilst eating Bappo
Really?! That's odd. Such a small world.
Glad yous enjoyed glesga lol (Glasgow) I'm enjoying your videos always nice to see what tourists think of the toon travel safe guys xx
Really enjoyed your uk adventure and sad its came to an end its been good to see a foreigners perrspective on the uk, and also i was just as happy to see your dog as you were 🤣, hope to see more.
Very nice UK adventure trip more for the future hopefully 🤞🏾🤘🏾
Farewell, then, and don`t neglect to come along over here once more.
Thank you! We're planning our trip back now.
Subscribed to you guys at the start of your trip after stumbling across your video earlier in the year. Happy to see that you’ve enjoyed your time here in the UK.
Inspired by you, I’ve been doing some tourist stuff in London with my gf over the summer which was long over due as a 39 yr old working in London. Went to Westminster Abby this weekend which was amazing, although I think filming is prohibited in there. Also did the Tower of London a few weeks ago and I’m going back to York in a few a weeks for a Long weekend.
Come back soon!
Loved watching you both on your trip, so pleased you had an amazing time over here, I did think you were coming to Newcastle and was looking forward to seeing that, saw you went to Alnwick castle so was sort of hoping for a video. Either way I have really enjoyed watching your travels 👍🏻
I miss Primark; so cheap. Although they don’t pay taxes - so these days I will be torn to shop there. 😔
Next time try the Lake District maybe Keswick lots of fab cakes and beautiful scenery.
Thanks for pronouncing Edinburgh correctly
You're welcome. 😂 Tnak you for watching!
Loved your UK videos, very entertaining - come back soon - more time in Yorkshire. x
My brother saw the weirdest thing in Primark recently. They now have a Greggs clothing range of t-shirts varsity jackets tote bags Greggs style crocs and sausage roll socks.
What a fascinating series you guys made in pleased u enjoyed your visit to the uk . A couple of questions for you what was your favourite city in the uk and would u ever want to live here ???
I have really enjoyed your UK vlogs and hope that it's not too long before you come back and visit us.
Thank you! We're planning it now. It probably isn't too far away.
Great to hear you had great time in Scotland
Just sad you didn't get to other parts recommend Perth Stirling Dundee Inverness all really nice places to stay at
Glasgow really need more tourist than Edinburgh there's wee gems you probably missed
Bestest from Scotland 👋
You are an awesome couple, do really interesting food and tours of the cities you visit. I am glad you liked York as its a place i am from, food prices i imagine are higher over here.
Did you say pizza Crunch? I'm an over 60 Brit and haven't seen that one yet. Can't believe you come here for two weeks and find all this stuff ! Pretty sure the Italians will have something to say about that as well ;)
It was almost 4 weeks. So, we had a bit more time, but we did a lot. We were pretty tired at the end.
It is too bad you need all these connected flights. I flew direct from Manchester to Toronto.
Yeah, our flight to London was only one connection right at the beginning, It wasn't so bad.
All my life gambling in Ladbrokes and I never saw 'lad, broke' Good observation lass!
Cara did pretty well there. I hadn't thought of it until she said it either.
omg you really should have had a few nights in Amsterdam! Such a cool city
We've had some friends that have been there on trips that have loved it. We need to go back at some point.
@@TheMagicGeekdom and it's only a 45 minute flight from England :')
I hope you can visit Hastings, Battle, Rye and Camber Sands (they are close to each other) when you return to England. Also, Brighton (known as London by the sea, for the lanes, shops and harbour). Torquay and Bournemouth are also nice.
Glad you enjoyed the uk
Thank you, Lesley. It was really wonderful!
Grassmarket used to be a cattle market.You'll be pleased to know that not even us scottish people know who the statues are lol
Loved your videos Hurry back xx
Thank you, Lynne. We hope to be back pretty soon.
