- We arrived in Glasgow just in time for the biggest snowstorm in years (The Beast from The East!) but managed to explore a lot of what the city has to offer...and eat!

I love when tourists come to Glasgow to visit. The city has so much more to offer, hope you come back to enjoy it more (maybe when the weather is better)
Strange watching this cos it's bloody roasting in Scotland just now
the coldest winter on record and now the hottest summer on record...something, something climate change etc......
To those outside the UK - roasting here means mid 20C's and a heat wave is when it reaches 30C lol. I love being British and don't have an issue with our weather here but let's face it, most countries would consider this weather as an ideal day to go out for an afternoon run.
this was filmed months ago
Huge Jobbie ... aye it is coz me n the troops are spit roasting yir da
The door that closes to the kitchen is a fire door. Fire regulations because you are on an upper floor.
That makes sense, I thought it was a panic room at first lol
Kind of funny that you post a video from the UK During the middle of a pretty uncommon cold spell while the weather now is in the middle of a equally uncommon hot spell.
northeu yuuuup!
it was filmed months ago
RIP kyde
Life Liver,
Adventure,
Your smile will be missed as will the joy you bring ?
What should be on Kyde's tombstone? Haha.

Think Glasgow is the best city on the planet , very cozy when it snows & people (most) are friendly! So all in all a good place to be!
Glasgow is friendly as fuck, the only place where the person who stabbed ye will then give ye directions to the hospital.
I agree , best city . Sometimes described as warm acid .
Tunnocks of Glasgow, a great little company that make excellent confections.
The UK has quite a northerly position and Glasgow sits almost on the 56th parallel, but winters are generally not too severe thanks to the gulf Stream.
The beast from the east was a rare thing, lol
Glasgow underground is the third oldest in the world after London and Budapest.
What you see is what you get, you've made your bed you'd better lie in it...
worst snowy winter for decades. now its the best / hottest summer for decades a few months later. :) 2018 in Scotland has been crazy
The cone on the wellington statue used to be pranksters, the council kept taking it down until eventually they stopped as people just kept putting it back on, realising it was more dangerous to keep "inviting" people to climb up and stick the cone back on. People take the piss here though, was walking past it to work last week and there was 9 cones on. The horse also had a cone to make it look like a unicorn, which by the way is the national animal of Scotland. Hope the weather didn't put you off Glasgow too much, we loving getting visitors.
Haha, love the cone!
Hi guys, I'm Glaswegian and I keep coming back to this video, and showing my friends, as its sooooo strange seeing you review our city. I've been to Japan and follow you guys. The beast from the east was great fun, we totally aren't used to weather like that. I got days off work ;) The circle subway was the only transport for me, going one way. Also bread meats bread has moved to a bigger place!
Also, the cone on the statue started as a prank. The council got sick of dealing with it so it became a landmark. Few years ago someone managed to get 16 cones on
In Britain, flats generally have to the kitchen isolated for fire safety reasons. hence the heavy door
Makes sense!
I'm not complety cogniscent on the latest fire regulations , but most flatd have to have a sealed hallway from the bedrooms to the front door. None of this opening straight into an open plan living space in US apartments. But some newer apartments do this, so I assume they have other fire safety features that means those regs don't apply. I do know you more than two storeys in a house, no room should be open to the staircase and all doors should be fire doors.
When we had that big snow storm in Kyoto I was amazed that the trains were still running, although around 20 minutes behind schedule.
sounds like Eric may be into wagon wheels if he prefers less air in his teacakes.
Me irl
wagon wheels are awesome
Mallomar
My favorite thing is Eric in a mirror. Makes me laugh every time.
I'm always delighted to see I have that shot, haha.
the kitchen door is a fire door, its point is to close itself , if there is a fire in the kitchen it will hopefully hold back the fire longer
I don't know about Kyde's tombstone but Spike Milligan (a British comedian) said he wanted 'I told you I was ill' on his. When he died his family tried to have that done but the cemetery wouldn't allow it. So they translated the phrase to Gaelic, as the cemetery didn't know what it said now, it was allowed
Haha
Never seen Glasgow's botanical garden. Did get to see Berlin's. Worth it!
Worth it if you're into metal and glass structures, too. The greenhouses are spectacular enough themselves.
Hahahahahahaha!!!! The vegan Capital!!!! I think that's because Glasgow It's renowned for it's inhabitants never eating vegetables (apart from the potato in various fried guises)
Instead of a BLT, you just ask for a 'B'?
bluewolf -- the only thing you can eat in scotland is the mars bar, right?!
You should also try Tunnock's Caramel Wafers similar to the Caramel Log but far better. Milk chocolate on the outside with layers of caramel and wafer in between.
yo! The kitchen space is a major source of 'fires' and the door is a 'Fire-rated' self closing door designed to isolate a fire in that room and enable you to safely escape, especially if there is only one exit from the apartment and/or the kitchen opens on to that exit route.
That plant with the folding up leaves is called a 'Sensitive Plant' Botanical name is 'Mimosa Pudica' They have thorns, grow purple fluffy flowers and produce seeds in pods that you can dry out and sow the following year. As a child, between 8-10 years old I used to grow loads of these plants in our green house and sell them to neighbours for 10 shillings (50 pence) to make more pocket money.
I’ve also heard them called “ticklish” plants
It’s a plant’s way of trying to discourage insects from eating their leaves (a main issue for a plant)
The late, great Spike Milligan has on his tombstone a quote
"I told you I was ill"
Preparing to go to Glasgow for the first time in a few weeks, thanks for this guys!
Enjoy! -E
The UK is temperate, we only get snow usually every 2-4 years and usually it either doesn't stick, or it is gone in a day or so.
hence why theres no investment in snow plows etc, it would be a big waste of money overall
Indeed, but they could grit more of the roads and look into the other travel networks better.
Scotland and northern England get it every year somewhere,though nowhere near as much as in the past.
Did Charles Dickens have snow imported to set the mood in A Christmas Carol???
@John Doe - the higher areas of the British Isles tend to get snow every year as Mike has mentioned; this is less than 5% of the UK. Scotland, being the northern most country of the UK is more likely to get snow, Wales is also more likely than England to get snow. England is the most densely populated and so is a few degrees warmer around the towns and cities and so snow does not last as long.
They complement each other so well.
Definitely try the sheep haggis as in my opinion tastes better. Great video as usual!
25:35 Eric, it's too cold outside for milkshakes. You'll freeze all the boys in the yard!
The boys are important
The kitchen door in the Glasgow flat is a fire door,its to stop a fire spreading giving you time to evacuate the flat.most house fires start in a kitchen.
The potato scone. As it maybe named in Scotland. In England we call it the potato cake. Simple ingredients of potato and flour and butter .normally buttered.
Why is the cathedral so dirty? Well it has been standing there for nearly 900 years. It probably picked up most of that during the Victorian era when Glasgow, like everywhere, was thick with smoke and smog from all the industry and residential chimneys. During the 80's and 90's it was the thing to sandblast our sandstone buildings to remove this and get that shiny clean. The trouble was they found out later that that process did a lot of damage to the stone work which made it vulnerable to the elements. A big regret. Thank goodness they didn't do this to the cathedral!
Dudes I loved that haggis, I miss it now that I'm back in the States.
😍❤🌸🌹
Scotland is funny. March was crazy blizzard sideway snow weather, last week was heat waves and humidity.
Hey guys I used to live just a bit from your flat.You are very close by Glasgow's 2 largest park's Pollok and Lynn both excellent places to visit with interesting historical architecture.
What I love about you guys is that you are so non judgemental on your travels. You respect, appreciate and enjoy all types of different cultures on your journeys. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thanks so much! Glad we aren't jerks! Haha. -E
This is an original travel video. Not many from abroad would think to travel to Scotland in February. For that exact reason , you are giving us a feeling of what it is like to be a local in winter in Glasgow. Well done.
Can I ask why you two are bundled up inside of buildings ? Are they conserving heat ?
I guess we just weren't warm, I don't remember. -E
How could you not like Irn Bru? How dare you!!!!
they put sweeteners in it...
Irn Bru rocks
It's better ice cold from a can. From the majority of videos most from the US seem confused as they clearly expect an orange tasting drink, but anything is better than Fanta ;P More seem to like than dislike though. The teacakes shown have clearly shrunk over the years judging by this video.
I just stumbled across your channel.
I'm a bartender at the Ubiquitous Chip. The bell is just for the kitchen to let the staff know that food is ready to be taken out.
And the traffic cone on the statue isn't an "Official" thing. Drunk people kept putting them up there on the weekends and it became a bit of a landmark.
You can make potato scones, just boil some potatos, mash them not too creamy, add butter and flour, no milk or anything, mix it until you can roll it and then fry it in a pan.
You should try Wagon Wheels which is like a bigger flat tea cake !
Cool vid, thanks for visiting. The Beast from the East was pretty exceptional and there were 17 fatalities in UK alone, nevermind across whole of Europe. It wasn't totally normal for the trains to be off that long, there was a red alert on the country warning people not to travel. There was very limited services.
Remember also that Scotland has nothing between it and the arctic winds, this is what makes the Scottish mountains so dangerous(even though not very tall by int standards). the ice cold winds freezing everything up can be far more of a problem than some snow.
Basically you came at worst time but glad you still enjoyed it.
It was actually the break we needed, so it worked out. Plus it was neat to see Glasgow I unique situations
It's beautiful ,go on ,you are doing wonderful
Have you tried the Wagon wheels, this is sort of what you would get by crushing the tea cakes, and there is more biscuit on the bottom.
Love your videos. You are such a likeable and interesting couple. It's nice that you spend so much time in each place and get see things that tourists would never get to see.
Thanks so much!
In Canada we wouldn't even have noticed such a minuscule amount of snow. And I live in southern Ont.
Yea, but you probably have the infrastructure to properly deal with it. -E
yes we pay people to pile it at the ends of our drive ways.
I'm from Glasgow I wish I had known we could have met up.
We are currently in a heatwave.
Daniel Euan Henderson You would of scared him off for good ya wee creep!
Its him..... Noway
It was only 30 m8 chill🤣
It was 33 one of the days, which in Glasgow is unbelievable
Daniel Euan Henderson wis jst abt to comment tht man where abts u stay
26:20 We call those moriviví here in Puerto Rico. They're fun little plants.
Never seen a machine like that in Glasgow. Interesting , I need to get on that central station tour
Love a potato scone, I would have it in a roll with black pudding for breakfast
It's so crazy to remember just a short while ago we went through all this weird snow storm considering the heatwave we are now having. XD
Sorry we were so closed down - we really are hopeless when it comes to this sort of weather. Though I'm not convinced it's not just an unspoken agreement between us Glasweagians to be hopeless with bad weather just so none of us have to work or go to school :P
Haha, good plan!
Nice area I was brought up 500 yards from your flat and my dad was an engineer in the factory opposite. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Going to Scotland in 2 weeks, so I was waiting eagerly for this episode!!
Enjoy!
I'm with you on the Irn Bru thing. They used to have an advertising slogan for it when it first came out "Made in Scotland from girders" Quite accurate because it does taste like a mouthful of iron filings
Hahaha
Hi Kyde and Eric, If in Scotland and someone ask's you did you fall the answer is "No I was trying to Brake a bar off chocolate in my back pocket" quote from Billy Connolly ans that wasn't snow when the snow is up to a Car mirror then you know it's snowing in Scotland .
HILARIOUS that you feel you need to explain how a radiator and a boiler works - wow ha ha ha
People outside of Europe don't have the same type of heating systems. You might find my heating unit here in Japan interesting, for instance. -Eric
Kyde and Eric Fair... so as a European I find it hilarious 😅
Lol, the deep fried Mars Bar is for tourists. I've never met a single Scot that's had one.
You guys are missing out.
lies, their the shit! no need for the sugar though.
Bluewolfe96, is that the wee chippy under the bridge, across fae where the Schipka Pass used tae be?
I've had deep fried mars bars and I love them. I'd also highly recommend deep fried creme eggs but be warned of the molten fondant bursting out and scalding your hand.
The guy wae the beard doing the tour is Paul Lyons. A right good guy.
He was amazing!!
Another fascinating exploration - love this.
The best ever I-phone photo I ever got was from Glasgow Central. Cost about $150 to get it customed framed, but well worth it. :-) Beautiful train station.
Heavy Kitchen door is a fire door, required by law in rental properties. Means if there's a fire that starts in the kitchen it won't spread to rest of the apartment / the other apartments in the building
Also a nice city!
We do get Snow but your right we don't usually get it as heavy as we got it, I noticed that you where saying that the kitchen door is a bit heavy the reason is simple, it's a fire door to stop flames from spreading, plus you can't have any Scottish Blood if you don't like Irn Bru lol.
We pick up and eat sandwiches in Scotland, even in "posh" restaurants like the chip. At least I do.
Also, haggis neeps and tatties, to get the perfect effect, you need to mix it up into one big pile, like Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters.
Oh, and put your egg on top of your tattie scone and cut them both in half. Then eat in two forkfuls.
Vokera, are good boilers, Gary didn't cheap out on the heating :-) and regular Tunnocks wafers are sooo much better than the coconut mutations
David Elder was a big industrialist and philanthropist, Govan, he had an hospital and a park named after him.
If you want to do something you can only do in Scotland then I would recommend just hiking in the Highlands or visiting an island of your choice. Perhaps you already have? The landscape is unlike any other. It's broody and severe - but in an astonishing way. It's not cutesy and idyllic like the English countryside. Neither is better or worse, just different. I'm not even Scottish but I still go up as much as I can because of it. Also, on the Irn-Bru, the government has forced companies to reduce the sugar content of the drink, replacing it with sweetener. It now tastes disgusting! I am still angry about it!
Stay tuned, we shot quite a bit up in Northern Scotland. -E
Keyser Söze speaking of the scottish isles, the outer hebrides are worth a visit especially the isle of lewis, fantastic landscape and excellent beaches (except the water is bitter cold). Worth a visit
Brave. Strange time to visit as so cold and miserable but I guess less tourists and cheaper - ish.
We can't travel in the summer due to work constraints. It was fine, we ended up quite enjoying our visit.
The Irn Bru, more of that is sold in Scotland than any other soda including Coca Cola. Personally love it It tastes a bit like a cream soda that you would find in the states. Missing home but good to see the changes to our favorite city. My heart belongs to Glasgow.
That door to the kitchen is a fire door ha
Love when you were talking about the type of fries and showing the beautiful architecture 😂😂😂
Hahahaha
You two make me laugh out loud, I’m having a lot of fun catching up on your visit to Scotland. Menu translation..... ! Lol
Should visit "st mary's vaults" next time in edinburgh ,underground shops and houses from 1700
Can get a guided ghost tour ,when I went on it things happened to me I still cant explain to this day
keep it cute and quirky
Petee
another great vid, from these two.
Thanks! -E
Like the city and the people,
Mirrors are green~ I don't remember the exact explanation but if you've ever walked into a room with a large mirror in front of you and behind you, you can see the green toward the edges.
i think the fried Mars Bar came about when Britain fell out with Iceland over fishing ( the cod war) the chip shops needed something else to fry, someone tried Mars Bar.
I'm going to have on my tombstone: The shell is here, but the nut is gone!
Oh I love rutabaga, so flavourfull. But no Kyde, you can hang your stuff on the heater in the bathroom, but if you don't, it heats the room. It is quite common in Europe. 😊 it was cold because you hang your stuff on it. Thanx for the great and loooong video. All thumbs up
I had no idea Americans called turnip, rutabaga. You learn something new every day!
Eat Travel Rave Repeat I had to google rutabaga too, you don't learn that in a dutch school 😉
Turnip and rutabaga are different. Turnip has a stronger taste and white flesh, rutabaga has a milder taste and slightly orange flesh.
John Doe and..! Very tasty
I like raw turnip with a bit of salt, but I LOVE cooked rutabaga. In fact there is some rutabaga in the fridge right now in a chicken and vegetable baked dish I made the other day. Good stuff.
Love these videos when thry try our food drink and amazed by our customs. We are unique
16:23 Wegmans !!!! Wow !!!! I thought they were only in upstate NY.
Thats like Canada's winters for 6-7 months out of a year lol.
(1:08:42) Haha - it's like your Tokyo appartment laid on its side.
Both Kelly Macdonald and Craig Ferguson used to work at Ubiquitous Chip
Cruitheach ...Who could ever forget Kelly Macdonald and Ewan Mcgregor in scenes from one of the most unforgettable Scottish film ever made ?
@Ed Denoy Well indeed. The instinctive removal of his protection was improvisation of the highest calibre
Cruitheach You've got a sense of fine detail when it comes to cinema, my friend.
@Ed Denoy 😉😆
And Clare Grogan.
Wow, my neck of the woods, I remember this time, we stayed in the house most of the time. The city isn't built for any extremities, the roof of the science centre melted in a recent heat wave.
Eric trying to pretend like he's classy on-camera... Dude, I've seen you drunk by yourself in a laundromat playing with a yo-yo. :P
Ah, don't shatter the illusion man
LOL JOE. That was a joe-Blow
He is not playing classy at all. He seems like a very chill out dude, down to earth and a super nice guy!
Triaminic lol, that's what mom gave us too.
We had plants like that by my house when I was kid growing up in Jersey.
Spike Milligan's tombstone says 'i told you i was ill' !
p.s. sure this has been answered but in Glasgow all privately rented properties have to be "fire safe" which means self closing doors. Its a pain in the arse!
Eric. What the hell was that you was eating. I looked like you bit into a cloud. Because its rained grease. But bamb. It looked tasty.
I love the super long ones!
Oooh er missus!!!!
The bathroom may feel cold because of it's high ceiling, so all the heat has risen to the top. I agree shower curtains are better than those perspex shower screens.
The entire apartment had high ceilings, but it was the only unbearably cold room. As was typical of the bathrooms we came across in the UK. Haha. -E
I cant wait to see more videos in Scotland! I've gotten to visit twice now and going back next year! I also got see parts of England and Wales back in April. Love the UK overall!
Kyde’s grave stone will read “nice cock!”
I’ve been waiting for this part of the series! Going to Scotland is high on my bucket list because not only was my mom born there, but I also have tons of family there. I’m highly looking forward to seeing all the adventures you two will have there, and everything you will get to experience!
Your kitchen door is a fire door. That's why it's so heavy. It's designed to isolate a fire in the kitchen so that it doesn't spread to the rest of the building.
I agree with you about the bathroom. I had one of these in an Airbnb in England last year. It's ability to move seemed to offer no advantages an ,in fact, can be dangerous. Grab rails on the bath tub wall are definitely a must. I hope you had a non-slip mat in the tub. This configuration seems to be a recent designer fad.
Guys, turnips are yellow Rutabagas , boil,butter, mash, mmmm. In the USA the Milky Way is what you ate as a Mars bar in Glasgow, and the Mars in the USA is has no caramel and is what the uk calls. Milky Way. ..Confused, great !
I thought that after she said 'This is venison haggis' she said " it's not cheap it's deer" :)
*sheep
I am surprised that there is no CO2 detector within the boiler closet or bedroom where the boiler is.
