- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2018 | The Highlands stoke kilted dreams of Scotland…where legends of Bonnie Prince Charlie swirl around lonely castles. We visit the "Weeping Glen" of Glencoe, bustling Inverness, and the battlefield at Culloden. Then we'll make a pilgrimage to the spiritual capital of a major clan, and go prehistoric at Stone Age burial grounds and Iron Age island forts. Venturing along the Caledonian Canal and watching for Nessie at Loch Ness, we work up an appetite for modern Scottish cuisine and enjoy traditional folk music.

I have visited Scotland 93 times and started visiting on May 1972. Scotland is one of my favourite places on the planet
Lucky you!!
Why not just move there?
wow, lucky you. what memories
@Queenbee Dat... Exactly!!! ;)
And what place in Scotland is you favor, why?
Where will be a good nice place tu buy a Castle?
Scottish highlands are so beautiful.
The original hillbilly clans
moonfarmer1 ........gods people and the salt of the earth
Nbella Música Yes not the peopple
It's shite, have to travel 20 miles to find any decent shops.
Rishirishi Roopnarine Aye everycunt lives in the lowland schemes. Although I live in Scotland, the highlands seem to be some sort of myth. Like a completely different country.
Scotland is the most beautiful place on Earth!!
The extraordinary historical aspect, the unspoilt natural beauty of the countryside, the rugged & awe-inspiring highlands, and the super friendly Scottish people.
I am not a Scot but I would love to be!!!
You might be interested to know that some survivors of the massacre of Glencoe left Scotland for good and went to America. There they fell in with the Sioux and enjoyed (if that's the right term) their way of life enough to stay with them. There they fell victims to another massacre at Wounded Knee. The details of this little-known piece of history can be found in the book, "Glen Coe and the Indians," written by James Hunter.
I live in Inverness, it’s a nice place to live and keeps getting bigger and better,
Would love to visit you
Beautiful sweet town:)
ohh..lucky you..the capital of highlands and gateway no northern tip at thurso...
I live here too. A junkie tried to put his bank card through the grilles in a bridge once.
I love Inverness
I lived in Scotland from 1999 until 2001. Best time of my life. I know it sounds sad, but I loved my everyday routine, the carefully planned weekends with sightseeings and weekends in the highland. Haven't been able to find that satisfaction since...

I've visited Scotland a year ago and I have never seen a land so beautiful. I never felt more at home.
I am Scottish born Aberdeen you are so right. It is a beautiful country. My son his wife my daughter,and myself were there in July. So happy to see it all again!!
Watching this makes me nostalgic even though I have never been to Scotland.

@@steveburnside3242why
Was in in England last summer. On a whim, decided to go to Scotland. Glad I did, Scotland was wonderful and they have great museums.
@redmotive National museum is incredible. The problem with the museums in London is if you want to see something like swords there are 5,000 or more? One could spend a month just looking at them. Overwhelming. Do the same in Scotland and the museums have 20 or 30 or about the right number to look at.
The castles are incredible. After several days one gets castled out. There are just so many of them. Same with churches. They are incredible. But after visiting castle after castle or church after church one begins to realize they are were all built with my castle/church is better than yours because...... (fill in the blank.) Ours is bigger, taller, older, has more windows, more stained glass oldest bible, largest altar, most painting..... One soon begins to realizes it was soft of the nuclear arms race of the era.
One thing I found was really cleaver were castles or manor houses with sword steps. Brilliant
Doug Spindler i was churched out, but i was only 16 when i went. However, seeing the Westminster Abbey at the end of the trip was incredible. And i thought the highlands may have been the most beautiful place id ever seen b then and now some 14 years later
@@llamov Europe has some of the most amazing churches. It's unbelievable the amount of time and effort that was put into building them. If only the same amount of effort was put toward science and medicine.
England is a shitden
And the people are amazing
Since watching Outlander, I'm enthralled with this beautiful land and history.
The motto of the Highlands should be wild and free. It was something of that that made my great grandparents choose Australia as the place they emigrated to
Yes I agree, love Outlander. I particularly like Bear mcCreary's innovations on that wonderful Scottish folk tune Skye Boat Song
It's Time for Fiscal Policy for Public Purpose So am I .......I live here!
Scotland,is absolutely stunning! I am a history buff and I also love the architectural designs and of course,the history that come with it. If I was given a chance to live in Scotland,I would move in a heartbeat!😊👍🏼💕🏴🇬🇺
Me too!!! I just started season 2 and I just love the scenery and their culture I'm definitely going to visit
Ookay I kinda regret not knowing this show until now, like seriously.
This show's what I truly need during this quarantine time, when travelling is prohibited and the very need to travel will be unfulfilled for a long time.
Thanks for making the show, and the bloopers? They are funny 😂
Hello 👋👋
Stay in your native Yankeeland.
I visited Scotland June, 2019 for the first time in my life and fell in love with the country!!!! Thank you very much for your updating! I miss so much Scotland now..... Thank you again for your lovely footage!
I lived on the other side of the country at RAF Edzell in 63-65, 74-75 and 80-83. Scotland is the most beautiful place on earth! CWO4 (Cryptology), USN, Retired, 73-95.
You are correct, it is the most beautiful place on Earth. I come from Edzell, now live in England. I'm part of the Pictish diaspora, you know, the people who inhabited the North-East part of Britain before the Scots took over. The Eastern side of Scotland is often overlooked, as it stands in the shadow of the more dramatic Western Highlands but you've only got to visit the glens of Angus to know that you are in God's own country.
As a proud Scot who has been to many of the places you have made content on, I have to say you have done a really lovely job 💜💜
How's it going in scotland mate!
I would love to visit your country one day. it is stunningly beautiful.
I grew up thinking I was very Irish, but have since learned I’m way more Scottish. I’ve been to Ireland, loved it, and felt very comfortable there. Now, I look forward to the day when I can travel your homeland. And proudly, my ancestral lands.💚
👍🏿
@Atha1ia hello
I went to the scottish highlands a lot growing up and I honestly really appreciate it. It's possibly the most magical place in the united kingdom and I wish more people knew about it because it is so great.
it looks amazing, especially the scenic drive
I was raised on Rick Steves and PBS! I'm so grateful to RS and team (and other awesome shows like Steve Irwin and co's work!) for giving me an interesting and scholarly way to study so many cultures and places!
Scotland is calling me I must go!
Take me with you. My heart skipped beats looking at this documentary. I would never leave there if I could go. It's the most beautiful place in the world to me.
Yes you definitely must being a Stewart. Go not far from Perth your family seat (aka the place where your clan comes from) and start your visit from there. Enjoy.
O Danni Boi!
definitely you must go. Do you enjoy the sound of the bagpipes? They really evoke the mood of Scotland for me
It looks like a beautiful country.
Scotland is a dream for me! I live in the middle of the French Alps but I dream to come and live several years in Scotland, just to see...
Visited scotland three times; last in the 80' s.
Just can say; my heart is in the highlands !!! Greetings from Germany.
Go on for indepence and a free Scotland !
Scotland is already a free country within the United Kingdom. It has its own government and justice system. Please study the facts, not the romantic myths.
From Canada & have toured Scotland 3 times. In April 2019 we scattered my wifes Scottish Moms ashes at Dunrobin Castle then toured The Highlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow etc. Had our 53RD Anniversary while there & had a terrific time. 3 restaurants & 2 hotels gave us free comps when we mentioned it was our anniversary trip!! EG: 2 free breakfasts, 2 classes of champagne, bottle of wine, truffles, desserts etc The Glasgow hotel gave us a violin case full of numerous snacks & beverages. AWESOME & FRIENDLY VISIT.
I’ve been to Scotland and I must say,It’s my favorite place to be. I LOVE SCOTLAND,MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME!😊👍🏼💕
Neesa LoveOfArt I’m glad you like my country 🏴 it’s truly gorgeous here.
@ Neesa LoveofArt...My mother’s maiden name was Douglas. She and I took a road trip over the Highlands many years ago. I will always treasure our time there! I also feel of Scotland as my “home away from home”.
Neesa loveOfArt
I'm from Malaysia. I have been in Sotland many times since March 2008. I really fall in love with Scotland. Scottish people are so nice. I went to Isle of Skye, Loch Lomond, Inverness, Aberdeen, etc.
Please visit my channel and I hope you will like it. Love and respect from Scotland.
I ve visited Scotland one time. I hope it wasnt the last time. I love the culture, the language and the country. 🏴💙
After watching Outlander, I am sure going to visit Scotland! In love with the culture and beauty and history!
Scottish Highlands am proud to call home
Oh- the border collies!! "I was blessed to share my life for 17years with one!! Amazing dogs!!
Hello 👋👋,Kate .
Having been to Scotland in 2019, it is more than any video can show. Appreciate seeing all that this video has to offer but would like so much more. It is true that Culloden Battlefield is an emotional experience, especially for decendants of those who fought and died there. The Royal Military Tattoo in Edinburgh every summer is a wonder to enjoy. Glasgow with all its majestic architecture and excellent sites is a trip unto it self. A short trip outside Glasgow you can learn of the Govan Stones or you can take short train trips to the birthplaces of Robert Burns or Dr. David Livngstone. St. Andrews will always be a place for me to return in the future. Pilotcry is a quaint town not to miss. Have a dram of scotch and enjoy. Slainte.
For those of us who descend from those clans who fought and died at Culloden, this is a sad and yet, treasured video, Rick Steves! I have personally been to the areas you covered in this video. I cried at Culloden. You truly learn real history there! A beautiful place, Northern Scotland!!! Thank you, Rick Steves!
such a poignant part of Scottish history - Culloden
My Clan , McIntosh fought at Culloden , one of 2 Clans that did not lose their colours

Hello, I am from Kalimpong, a tiny hill town of East India and i have studied Scottish Universities Mission Institution, the oldest Scottish Missionary's School in the whole hilly region. We are somehow connected with the Scottish culture and interestingly our school band is famous just because of Scottish bagpipes.
Profoundly grateful to be able to live it.
Thank you for showing us wonderful Scottish highlands.
❣️🌈
My first visit to Scotland was in 1997. I was barely 18 years old, and of all my travels, it remains a very special place to me. I remember buying a bottle of Oban for my parents from a shop in Stirling as a souvenir upon my return home. If I ever had to move somewhere outside of Canada, Scotland is likely where I would end up. Greetings from Vancouver, BC.
Glad you enjoyed Scotland and have precious memories. Haste ye back x
Looking through the comments, I seem to be the only Scot still residing in Scotland, in Beautiful Perthshire Haste ye back! 🏴
How is it in the Highlands? Seriously I am English and wouldn’t set foot in Glasgow if you paid me (I won’t go where I am hated because I am English) but would love to go back to Scotland. Love Edinburgh but will give it a miss also, but as I haven’t been up-to Aberdeen or Inverness I would love to visit.
@@leigh-mariehamilton3361 I do not know what prompted your Highlands comment ... but,
I LOVED Glasgow.
Yet another scot here. I live about a 45 minute drive from oban. Love the views everyday
It has been my childhood dream to visit Scotland... hope to be able to before i disappear from the face of this Earth... thank you for this virtual tour
I live in England, the West Midlands, but have never been to Scotland. The fact it is 235 miles to the nearest town, Gretna Green, has something to do with it, the logistics are a little daunting. But once the pandemic has died down I hope to finally make the trip to Edinburgh and the Highlands. Thanks Rick for so many amazing travelogues!
` The logistics are a little daunting` ? Hop on a train or coach and you`ll be in Scotland in next to no time. We`re not living in the dark ages.
It is so worth it, you won't regret it
I come from Greece and this is the first place I want to go abroad. It is such a beautiful and wild place... and it's culture... I hope I go as soon as possible...
Hope you're having a wonderful day?
I'm going to Athens in march this year! hope to see you
Loved Scotland after watching this🥰...What a beautiful place!!!
Love living in these beautiful Scottish Highlands!
I"m incredibly jealous!!! My brother went there for work and came back and said he had such a great time. I wanna go!!
where are you waiting for then
My dad is from Scotland. It’s the most beautiful country🏴thank you for this video :)
One extremely beautiful country and it's people are so welcoming.
Pat TheHombre.its changing though pat..😦,
scotland is being overrun with tourists, depends on where you go..edinburgh will always welcome tourists..because the town centre is generally full of non scots..ie..english. and the old eastern bloc..
@@johngr9963 : can I ask you why you think the country has changed that much?. With the majority of people having more 'disposable cash' it's understandable tourism has increased, but has immigration (old Eastern bloc citizens) really changed the Scots outlook?. I always thought the Scots were far more tolerant than their southern neighbors. England seems to have an issue, which according to what I read, is an issue of non stop immigration and all of them being given 'free stuff'... housing, education, medical services, etc and etc.
What a beautiful country, really want to visit someday soon! 😀
We have such a beautiful country, filled with epic and inspirational history! Discovering all of it makes travelling wonderful!!
Thank you for excellent summary of complex history. My husbands family left Scotland after Glencoe and we visited his homeland In Glengarry. We stayed at The Glengarry castle hotel. We visited Skye and Iona, enjoying the magnificent museums on the Islands. Your videos are wonderful, we continue to learn from you! Keep up this very important ministry!
Hello...
My family and I traveled through England, Scotland, and Wales when I was 7. When we got to Loch Ness, I was on the lookout for the monster. I didn't see Nessie that day but I still believed he was there.
Nessie is widely considered to be female
Anna C. Sahlstrom .......nessie can be seen when you least expect her :)
No such things as lochness monster😂
Frank Eeee ....... oach shoosht you.........we all know nessie is real and brings alot of tourism too

Visited in June 2017.Scotland is a land of mountain wildernesses, Amazing and very peaceful .
I'd love to live on those highlands. It'll be so peaceful
Thank you so so much, Rich Steve, for creating these wonderful and inspiring travel videos on such a highly professionel level.

BLUE MOON of KENTUCKY .........When your ancestors left for America they left a piece of their heart here......you will be reunited with that when you visit..........Do alot of research first on places yould like to see - it doesnt have to cost the earth.....you can travel cheaply once here and towns and cities arent huge distances apart.......Keith will see you right (laughs)
I loved visiting Scotland but always be prepared for rain and misty weather. The same is true for Ireland but the Scottish highlands are so beautiful when the heather is blooming.
Thanks again, Rick Steves, for taking me to places far away. Way cheaper than an airline ticket.
I visited the Highlands last week and they are truly stunning! Thanks Rick for the inspiration. Just a note to say that there is a lot of work going on at Fort Augustus on the canal but it was still lovely to visit. From there we took the A82 to Glencoe Valley which was unbelievably beautiful. Can't wait to go back.
🏴 Welcome everyone, I hope you enjoy your stay. 🏴
Delta November your mum was asking how you are with your medication ? she has not seen you in weeks.
🇩🇿🇩🇿🏴🏴
Highland valley is just like a paradise
Thank you Rick Steves for your videos of the Highlands and of the Islands and Norway. My ancestors came from those beautiful places to America and some to Canada, Ireland, Australia. They left in order to survive. They were sons of Mac Eanurig (Henry) (Henderson, and it’s variations.) and married women of the MacDonald clan after the Scottish King “gave” Glencoe to to the MacDonald of Skye. Marrying was preferable to fighting. Two son’s of Mac Eanurig survived the Glencoe massacre and traveled North East and then to Orkney Isle and one married a Norse lady there. After Culloden, family members filtered to the lowlands, those with Mac Donald last names often switching to Henderson to stay alive, lived in areas in the Lowlands until they were able to go to Ireland and to Canada, Nova Scotia, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa or America. We are a scattered bunch, but we survived. I was happy to hear a couple of years ago, that the head of the Campbell Clan finally found it in his heart to apologize for what his ancestors did to ours in Glencoe. A terrible thing done can maybe now finally be healed for MacDonald’s and Henderson’s! 🤗
Such a beautiful country
Hello how are you doing hope you're having a wonderful day?
Hello 👋👋👋
8:18 The Massacre of Glen Coe was one of two real-life inspirations used in the "Red Wedding" Episode of GoT.
No way, that's really cool. I didn't know that and I'm Scottish and a close descendant of Clan Campbell!
You sound really proud to be a back stabber
The massacre of Glencoe (one word) was a bairn's tea party compared to the 200+ Lamonts that were slaughtered by the Campbells in 1646 (yes, I am a Lamont).
@@tsarnicholasii274 they massacred and backstabbed all Celts pretty much

I'm planning a 2-week visit in either 2020 or 2021. One curiosity at the Culloden memorial: There are flowers and other mementos left at the clan markers, but one clan's stone is always heavily decorated-Clan MacKenzie, thanks to the Outlander TV series. I first learned about Culloden and the Clearances from that show, and have gone on to learn much more of Scottish history as a result. Fascinating and sad.
Last time I was there, They were just starting to excavate the grounds for the new interpretive center, which I hear is fabulous. Enjoy.
Samee here i fell in love with Scotland and Scottish history from the outlander series and now i know Scottish history more than i know my own country's history 😂 though it made me hate England for what they have done through the centuries to Scotland and to the Scottish culture😔
I also want to visit Culloden. I first saw and heard of it in the series Highlander in the 90s. But my calling to go there comes from something older. Bummer is that Scotland is quite vast and other places of interest long ways from Inverness area.
MacKenzie is a local clan
I loved every moment of this episode. It was fascinating to see how my Scottish ancestors lived in the Highlands. So much awesome information. Love it.
Would that be clan maczoppa?

Hello 👋 Ana.
Ana luiza
My great grandmother, Mary MacDonald, was descended from one of the survivors of the Campbell massacre at Toriam Castle. The family fled to Nova Scotia in the late 1780s and settled in Williams Point (Southside Harbor). My great grandmother's side married into the Campbell, MacLeod, Morgan, and MacKinnon families.
Wayne Johnson the Campbell’s you sure ?
@@keithlordofalbascotland3371 Yes. It's well documented. We have Campbells in my family tree too. I have no reason to lie.
I lived in Edinburgh about 8 months and I loved it. I am visiting it whenever I travel to Europe. Great video.
Hello 👋👋
It is amazing that there are no trees in the mountains and they are covered with moss. I don't know Scottish history and Jacobite at all. But the Battle of Culloden in 1746 seems miserable to me. So sad. Anyway, Thank you Rick for sharing your great masterpiece video. It's perfect.
About Scotland I read in my matric school . Teachers taught us about highland region there are also some pics of green mountains and lakes. Many time we student talk about this heaven country that we must go there one time in our life. From our country there are many obstacles to get visa for this country like bank statments taxes etc. Now its dream only for me to visit there but thanx your you tube channel who give the energetic videos. Thanx
Im from Turkey and i just want to say scotland's highlands deserves more tourist than paris.People just going to paris for what?

I just visited Scotland's Highlands. It's breathtaking. I also love the scenes of this season as you can still see some snow. You can also tell how Scottish people, especially a fantastic bus tour guide, are proud of their land and culture.
For those drawn to the Sottish Highlands, check out Route 500 which covers the wonderful coast and mountains north of Inverness.
or the A830, the Road to the Isles, after which the famous tune is named.
A82 from Glasgow to the Scottish Highlands is definitely the most scenic road
It's not called Route 500 it's correct name is the North Coast 500 or NC500.
It’s the north coast 500, and it’s stunning.
@@juliareadscottishpiperandh4861 The A830 Road to the Isles is only part of the NC500 (scenic route around the coast of Scotland) and not the whole thing.

The Scottish Highlands offer a captivating blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and cultural heritage, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking an unforgettable Scottish experience. Whether exploring historic castles, hiking through rugged landscapes, or sampling fine whisky, the Highlands never fail to inspire and enchant visitors with their timeless charm and beauty.
Headed over in June to play some shows then stay for some hikes. Perfect upload timing THANKS!
