That was breath taking views. Shaun, thank you so much for this wonderful adventure through Scotland. I want to visit Scotland before my keeper comes to get me.
Hello Shaun, I love your videos, I am from the state of Montana, the link I'm sharing is a new blip where one Montanan got out of his car and started playing the bagpipes in the middle of stand still traffic. I thought you might appreciate it. kpax.com/news/montana-news/2019/06/04/bagpiper-tunes-up-while-stuck-in-traffic-along-i-15/
@@apathysassylum4986 I loved that. Would've loved to have been stuck there that day. Hope all was ok in the wreck
As a Texan, I always appreciate a chance to see some of the different Cows folks have around the world
I'm a Texan, too. The bovine on the thumbnail looks like a hairy Longhorn. Smaller and way more hair, but that horn shape! I know absolutely nothing about cattle breeds. I though Longhorns came from Spain. A cross, perhaps? At an rate, they are really gorgeous animals.
@@SteamPunk-xp2uv The hairy coos are a native breed of Scottish cattle they have been in Scotland for hundreds of years .
@@duncancallum Thanks mucho! They may be native to Scotland, but whose to say someone didn't bring some to the Americas at some point, like the Herefords from England? That horn shape had to come from somewhere.
Highland cattle can best be described as adorable, and their calves are the cutest things in nature.
This has been so well done. The production, editing, the brilliant drone shots, but most staggering was the magnificence of the landscape. Words fail to communicate how the scenes reached out and touched me, moved me. I have said it before, but me Nan, and me Grannie would have cried and been proud. And I would not have understood a word that they were saying, but I have no doubt it would have been the best thanks of all. Tarah from the Great State of Texas.
Spinies are like crawfish in gulf states of US
Hey Shaun! New Orleans local here. I’ll be traveling to Scotland in early July right after Independence Day and will be staying in Edinburgh. Your vlogs have been very resourceful and inspiring and each video makes me more excited about this adventure I will have soon. Thank you for the time and effort you put in these videos for everyone around the world to see!
Spent 8 days in Scotland in April, while I made it around the lower part (Edinburgh around to Glasgow) I didn't have the time to make it up to the NC500. You have convinced me I need to make another trip to Scotland just for this part of it. Thanks for the great vids.
I had no idea that Scotland has such beautiful...jaw...dropping...views. Thank you for sharing. Great video and I love that car.
Thank you so much for the absolutely gorgeous scenery around the NC500. I loved it. Truly.
Debra Martin thanks Debra 😊
Oh my God what a beautiful waterfall
Very breathtaking place
Aww the white cow!
Im in love with that car!
Im so glad you all made it.
Thank you for the Adventure
Shawn, This was an awesome finish to you NC500 series, what spectacular scenery that you showed us and as for you not like heights; I appreciate that you have to stay true to you! An epic "Thank you!" Take care!!!
Ditto
Thanks for braving the suspension bridge and lookout point for us! I get nervous with heights, too. Good Lord is it beautiful there. My hair stood up on my arms a few times! I've only been as far north as Inverness, so was awesome to see it.
Can't wait till August when me and my husband are coming to Scotland for our honeymoon! We will be driving all over Scotland for 13 days and stay in Edinburgh for 4 days! Thank you for all the beautiful videos of Scotland!
I really like your videos Shaun.
Thank you for having us along on your journey! I hope to trace your path some day.
Hey Shaun,
I am so enjoying your road trip! My husband and I drove it 7 years ago. The Applecross reminds me of the hairpin curves on Lariat Loop to Lookout mountain in Colorado.
Thank you and Teka so much for Sharring such an amazing road trip! Definitely need to do this when I'm there! And YES! Tesla! Drooling! 💕 outstanding footage of a remarkable vehicle!
Spectacular scenery? Of course! It is the Highlands for a reason. Applecross Pass looks absolutely delicious !!
Thank you Shaun for showing me places I never thought would see when I was a boy. It is like my father described. Especially of interest was the Cows. They are known to run a man through and toss them into the air like a Kaber. I would enjoy doing the trip on a motorcycle myself. CAT liked the cow scratching itself. He does things such as that from time to time.
I truly enjoyed seeing the highlands through your lens. Beautiful
Fantastic scenery! The Applecross Pass looked like CGI. I had an old friend here in America who met his wife in Scotland, and they still owned a home in the far north. He used to tell me that I could take the family there for a vacation any time I liked. I was never to take him up on his offer, but I sure wish I could have.
Your eyes have been blessed with those magnificent landscapes ♥️😍 I wish one day I’ll visit Scotland 🤗
What a lovely trip! I am with you on those scary foot bridges! Great cows!
Loved the series, thank you. I travelled the same road last September solo in a Ford Fiesta, following my ancestry. The Scottish folk were very friendly, took me 6 days, hard driving in some places, you are spot on what you say about the food, I thought I was being fussy. Thank you from Tasmania Australia
And that's why my last two trips to Scotland I've done in a campervan Shaun. It means you have your bed with you so you don't have to push yourself to be at a certain destination by a certain time in order to check in. You can buy cheaper options at supermarket's for your meals, which means you can find a gorgeous spot to park and eat and sleep all in one each night. I did, and I can tell you I got to see some glorious sunsets this way. So maybe your next driving/touring trip you can try it in a campervan and compare the two styles. I hired campers that didn't come with a bathroom but a port-a-loo saved that hassle and for showers I visited either hostels or the town swimming pool.
@Shaun having now watch the entire series of videos about your NC500 adventure, I want to thank you for sharing it with us here. The highlands of Scotland have always been a place that I have wanted to visit. I may never be able to get there, but thanks to you I have been able to get a very good look at it, and that would not have happened without you and your efforts.
Blessings.
Beautifully shot panoramas and drone video. Excellent job, sir.
BTW you won't like going to the Grand Canyon in the US if you have a fear of heights. My wife and I went five years ago while we were in Las Vegas; it's close, so why not? Incredible place. We were at the west rim on the Hualapai Indian reservation, which includes a place called Eagle Point (apparently some people have been falling off the edge lately, so they got too close) and it's a straight shot down about 500-600 feet before you start hitting the slope down at this point. They also saw fit to put something there called the Skywalk, which is a U-shaped bridge over the gorge with a clear acrylic floor; you can see through where you're walking. You would likely forego this if you don't like being able to see through that upon which you trod, but my wife and I had no problem at all. There were several others who shared your distrust of what the couldn't see, as they were inching along with their toes on the steel supports, shuffling along like it was a rope bridge. Hilarious. There's a section toward the end that's frosted so it looks fairly solid, and they were walking on it with no problems lol....oh, well.
I'm thoroughly impressed with this series. Nicely done, sir. Those spineys look really tasty.
Keep up the good work.
Touring Scotland vicariously through your camera lens. That Applecross area makes me wonder how many hiking trails pass through those mountain ranges. Now that's something I would love to do in Scotland.
Thank you for the breathtaking views on your journey.
Just came across your chanel Shaun. Loved the NC500 series. I live in Glasgow. For the past 4 years, all my holidays have been in Scotland purely due to exactly what you said in the series. I realised I was taking our beautiful country for granted. This trip is defo on the list. Can't wait to do it! Thanks for sharing xxx
Another great video Shaun. And your camera and drone work just keeps getting better and better. Absolutely stunning!
Kevin Roberts thanks Kevin, really appreciate that 😊
Nice road trip. Thanks for taking us along.
The Parrot Rescuer thank you 😊
Highland cows look like trunkless Snuffleupagus'. I want one! They are adorable!!
Thank you so much Shaun. I absolutely loved this series! Every frame...pure beauty!
10:15. That is gorgeous! Thanks for the upload, Shaun!
Shaun the scenery and music mix in the first half was magical. Almost as elegant as the movie Blade Runner. Edgy music beautiful scenery. Dude!! I would have NOT gone on that bridge over the gorge. Call me a tampon, but a six person weight limit??. What if one person was a giant fat Bastid of 25 stones. The Same thing for the look out. Highland Coos were gorgeous and so relaxed. If I lived in Scotland in the barrens areas, I would love to spend my time starting tree seedlings and planting them in those areas. Oak, birch, elm, walnut, apples, oranges, Nordic Pine, and Pines. Admit it.. You really wanted to do a Tokyo Drift on that downhill road. Too bad you couldn’t do mor time on the road and give more reviews of stops along the way. Thank You for Sharing Shaun. Cheers.
Coo! Loooka' that Handsome Hieland Coo! What's the difference between tablet and whisky fudge ?
Thanks for another wonderful video, Shaun!
Hey Mary Ellen, tablet is a fairly hard sweet in consistency as opposed to fudge which is softer. Very similar in how you make both but more beating and whisking required for tablet xxx
Fudge 🤮 Tablet 😊
Wow. Thanks Shaun. Beautiful. Enviable experience.
Thank you for introducing the NC 500 to me and my future wife. We will be visiting and getting married in your beautiful country from the US. We truly enjoy and love your personality and channel. Thank you for sharing yourself and your adventures.
The gorge was awesome. What a beautiful, beautiful place! Highland cattle are really neat animals. There is a blogger in Sweden who has a herd that he uses for milk and meat. Holy moly what a crazy road. Scotland is definitely on my list.
that was a fun trip!!!! and i can't believe i've forgotten tablet. i don't eat much sweets and only think of making tablet at christmas. now yu've reminded me i must make some!!!! thank you.. you've been running around about where i grew up. i have really enjoyed this series.
Who needs to go abroad when we have this!! Great videos, thank you
Claire Devine Agree thought the same recently, we went to perranporth in corwall .The Highlands are due , on my 50th next year .Cannot wait.
I’ve never been to Cornwall, I hear it’s lovely, the highlands are just amazing, it’s a different world, you will love it!!
What a fantastic trip!
- perhaps something for my to-do list!?
I loved the multi-colored coos!
They were so charming 💙
This reminds me of some of the areas I've been to in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, namely the state of Washington.
When I was in the Army, I was in Scotland for one cold night at an airfield waiting to catch the next flight to Kuwait.So that is my only experience in Scotland.But from what I've heard from other people who live there or have visited, and from what I've seen in movies and vlogs, Washington seems to be a lot like Scotland in regards to terrain and climate. on the west side of the state, the weather is beautiful in the summer and nonstop cold rain in the winter. The difference on the east side is, instead of rain, there's snow. I hope to take a real trip to Scotland one of these days, Edinburgh. will definitely be one of the stops among many others.
Highland cow nothin'! I know a four-legged sasquatch when I see one!
Loved the road trip, Shaun!
The countryside was beautiful. 🌳
I don't know why watching this video made me cry...all the beautiful scenery and such. Scotland has always held a special place in my heart. Maybe it was home in a past life huh? 😀
the Highlands are gorgeous!
Love the scenery....I don't often comment but I watch every video. Scotland is an amazing country and would love to visit sometime. My ancestors immigrated from Deeside/Aberdeenshire (Highlands area) to New Jersey here in the U.S. in the 1800s. From New Jersey they traveled to Ohio and put down their roots as pioneers with 13 children. My family has preserved their history via genealogy. There is a piece of Scotland in Central Ohio. Also, something that may be of interest on another trip to the U.S. is visiting the Amish and Mennonite communities. Most people find it really interesting that Amish people travel by horse and buggy in this modern age we live in. Lancaster, Pennsylvania is another good stop for more history on the Amish and Mennonites who migrated to the U.S. from Germany and Switzerland. Shaun....would love to have you visit my state of Ohio!
Thanks so much for the kind words Susan. I’d love to visit Ohio one day!
Everything is so beautiful! Everywhere you look, each sight is more breathtaking than the last. Thank-you Shaun for taking us with you on this fabulous journey.
Shaun, thank you so much for sharing this lovely adventure! I love it!
You’ve given me some great ideas for when I finally get to visit Scotland. Thank you!
You should have stopped at the Kylesku Hotel, they have a fantastic seafood restaurant there with lovely views! Next time!
I would love to see you, Tessa and your sister rent an RV/camper and travel to more lovely locations in Scotland❤️
The scenery was spectacular! The gorge would have been better......but I totally understand you being nervous crossing that bridge! It looked incredibly high for sure! Loved the series, beautiful scenery, and wonderful narration! Thank you Shaun! And your wife is beautiful, you should let her be in the videos more! ❤️❤️❤️
I've been to bealach na ba this april, and it was filled with snow, and no cars around. It was absolutely stunning! I'm from Brazil and loved to follow the same road with you again.
Just a curiosity, how do you filme road travel without trembling the camera?
I think your eyes almost roll when you eat tablet. It must be that good! Thanks for a most interesting trip.
I would be somewhat shy of that high bridge, but the views are amazing. Seeing thrust would seem scarcey to me. I’m not good at heights either so I get it. Ooh the landscapes are beautiful!! I would just love to visit Scotland.🥰
That was AWESOME! I can't wait to visit. Thank you for sharing your trip. 🥰
Watching from my arm chair in Kentucky USA and my legs went tingly when you showed that ped bridge! Gorgeous
What a spectacular trip! Thank you so much for taking us viewers with you. Now I can't wait until the next one!
I love watching your vlogs in Scotland. I could cry every time I watch them. I miss Scotland so much. The most beautiful country 💙 I hope you’ll do other vlogs about Scotland 🏴
Such absolutely gorgeous landscape! The waterfall was just breathtaking! However, my anxiety level was up just watching you on that bridge and then the car trip with deer and cows in the road!!! Yikes! It was nice to see the animals but not so nice to think what could happen if you hit one! Also, it freaks me out that there were cars coming at you on the "wrong side of the road!" Really, I wonder if my hubby and I do come for a visit to Scotland, if I could relax and take in the scenery while he was driving, LOL!!! It was nice to see it all from your camera. :-) Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
Scotland is gorgeous
That looks like butterscotch fudge :) lol its not that high. Look up Bridges in "Spokane, Washington" That gorge is so pretty! WoW look at those Mountains!! Beautiful ! 11:30 in,, beautiful area! 11:48 in Hills of stone, no trees.. and yet so pretty!! What a drive!!
My neighbor here in west Pennsylvania, US. Has a herd of about 40 highland cows 😊
That was terrific Shaun! Thank you so much!
Another beautiful highlands trip! Wonderful and exciting!❤️👍
I am from the Highlands, Truth be told you could not have looked very far as there are a good many brilliant places with excellent food at decent prices. A little planning, a chat with the locals would have helped you along.
My folks stay at Ardnamurchan and I spend a lot of time there, and I must say that whole area and to Fort William, I disagree. Good food is overpriced, while cheaper places just serve bad food. And in this video in particular, I spoke to the locals. Scourie is a particularly small community and there are literally 3 or 4 options. I stand by my observations. The places that make an effort can charge what they want, while the others can get away with serving microwaved food, because there are so few options
Shaun, your enthusiasm for Scotland is infectious! This series has been an absolute blast to watch. This road trip is on my dream to-do list for sure! I was having some serious Outlander vibes seeing some of the landscape. Thanks for another great series!
Gorgeous scenery.
Just found your channel today and I'm looking forward to watching your videos of your beautiful country!
The coos are cool too.
Thank you!
We did the Bealach na Ba uphill, in horizontal Scottish rain. Couldnae see the road. So much fun lol
Heading up to Durness in August, camping, great chocolate factory there
Hey Shaun...love that Tesla too ...I just bought tshirts and sticker ...love them ..I'll be the talk of my small town in Colorado...which I don't mind..I appreciate your vlog so much I'm learning alot ...and just started outlander ..well you rock and keep on vlogging
Amelia Walker, I'm a big fan of Shaun as well, and no offense intended, and I doubt you meant it this way, but you never actually said that you bought the car, which, you being from Colorado, I'm sure you did, but I being from NY, had a great idea.
I don't actually need to buy the Prius, I just need to buy the gear and wear a bit of it always, to be the coolest cat in town, other than for the people who know me. They will know that the Prius E-Pass sticker (of course, officially you can't buy that sticker, but not that I can't), right under the 'Civic' embossment on the rear of my 94 Honda, would be totally bogus, but not everyone would know that.
That is one of the pleasures of living in such dim light after all.
Again, not picking on you Amelia, it was just a simple omission on your part, as if you even agree with me on that. I personally mess up more by 9 o'clock in the morning, than most people mess up all day. Then again, I might take more risks than most, such as trying to get my foot out of my mouth, as in this case.
Meaning, no bad implications, I just found what you said to be inspiring.
I was just thinking of me, in Manhattan, in some cool bar, with hot women all over and me, being splayed out in some discreet bit of Prius gear, as it is a sure bet.
But that the bulls eye can dance around a bit. First, I'm closer to 70 than I am to 30 years of age, so that needs to be considered. I just did the math, imagine this. I am actually closer to 101 years old, than I am to 30. Yes, I'm 66 years old, and damn proud of it (or just lucky, actually).
So, I've been in a committed (or is that 'omitted') relationship for the last 25 years, and yes, to the same woman, but I forget which one of us was committed and which one was omitted, so I suppose it must be I, either way, take your pick, as apparently she does, as convenient.
That's what I tell her everyday, so I don't know what to refer to her as if she may be my 'might as well be married wife', or is she my 'common-outlaw-wife'?
Butter my buns and call me a biscuit, I don't know. Sorry to bother you. I just liked the idea of buying the gear, and not necessarily the car.
@@dobiebloke9311 lol I love swag of all kinds ..nah I don't own the Tesla..idk if I would especially on my ranch ...lol might get muddy alot and the snow would make it impossible to drive up my driveway...lol ..like an ice highway....I love that your 66 and slaying the ladies I'm sure they appreciate you more than you know...I get asked a lot if I'm Irish or Scottish...idk..I'm me lol..in my family my mom an dad are southern and I was born in Germany so idk what heritage I am..also my parents don't have red hair or any I imediate family...just lucky I guess...I e been to New York for like 5 min ..feel like missed out .. thanks for the chat ... swag on sir..xoxo
That's interesting about the food being bad, I can see that in the smaller towns in the Highlands but having lived in Glasgow for nearly a year I've not had any bad food experiences. And I'm a student so I'm not exactly rolling in money!
Beautiful! If I ever get to Scotland, I will bring a case of peanut butter and crackers so I don't have to eat spinies and chicken burgers. 😀 Thank you for the map so we can follow along.
The highland coo is so cute.
I was stationed in Southern California and the Family home is in the SF bay area. I would drive the 500 miles home and the 500 miles back every long week end. It took 13 hours or so each way.
Amazing beauty! Another awesome post, Shaun.
Gutpunch thank you :)
love the videos keep up the great work i see big thing in your future
Wow. It was interesting when u explained about the electric car charging stations. The landscapes, seascapes are just incredible. The Highland cows were cool. This series was wonderful! I always learn something from your vlogs. Looking forward to the next topic!
Congrats on being on the high bridge walkways, those are not my favorite. I too do not like heights. It's wonderful to travel with you on the vlog. Great scenery!
Loved every bit. Have to remind myself that this entire piece - and all your videos...are one-man-productions. (Or, should I say, husband/wife-team creations??) Either way, the production quality is remarkable. As engaging as any documentary style film anywhere. Beautiful footage.
Excellent road trip guys 🙋♀️🙋♀️. High 5. I don't do heights either, however, I went to Vegas last year, and forced myself to do the skywalk at the Grand Canyon 🙀. Was so glad I did it though 💝
Great series, Shaun! Thank you for taking me along for the ride. Scotland has so many beautiful places to see and I won't be able to see everything in my upcoming trip in August. So these videos allow me to lengthen my trip in a way. Keep up the great job and see you soon!
Really great shots, Shaun! Although, I’m not sure those roads compare to the windey roads we were used to in Colorado...try 11,000 feet above sea level ;) haha
The cattle are very different from the USA. Gorgeous scenery.
Thanks for taking us along, Shaun. And congratulations, you have done an amazing job with this series!!
thought the starter was TG (US person here)--fun drive though and nice to see the changes in Ullapool (last there in '06)...
Thank you so much for video series. Scotland is for sure at the top of my bucket list.
Never fail to impress Shaun! Simply beautiful land, coo, well everything! Cheers!
🇺🇸lovely. I knew you were a cool dude but especially when I saw you comment on Canadian studmuffin’s channel!🏴
Great video, it would be nice to see fast food places take root up in the highlands. Drive thru fast food, on a budget. We have a similar treat, to Tablet called fudge which we sell in shops, in Michigan. Tourist who visit the Upper Peninsula, in Michigan are given a nickname by the Uppers, in the U.P. The uppers call tourists who visit the U.P., fudgies. Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula, is separated by a bridge; Michiganders who live below the bridge are called trolls and those who live above the bridge are called uppers.
You must google "White River Junction" on the New Hampshire and Vermont border the gorges are very similar.
Pass me some Tablet and Irn Bru. 😁😍 I'm wanting "Yer bums oot the windae" t-shirt for my bday pressie 😁
Sorry I died at your bridge walking. 🤣🤣🤣We have suspension bridges here in America (probably brought from Scotland. Lol). Theres one in the state of North Carolina that I was terrified of when I was wee. My dad had to carry me across it. I'm going back there for the first time in many years and walk that bridge myself. Lol. I love the suspension bridges now but still canny climb trees and get back doon 😊🤣
Great series, Shaun! You truly make me want to ditch were I live and just explore Scotland for the rest of my life!
I couldn't go to bed until I saw the last of the series. Thanks for the beautiful road trip.
Wow! Fantastic journey Shaun! Thank you for this! The camera work and drone shots are so amazing! I love the highland coos! Breathtaking! Too bad you didn't have a whole week for the trip! I'm going to share this with my daughters and mother. Them I'm going to watch all four videos back to back on my big screen! Thank you for the wonderful vacation! So happy that you and Teka got to enjoy this time together! Perhaps your family could adopt me, and I could live the rest of my years in the Highland cottage! (Just a thought... Lol) Much love and blessings to you and yours ☮💜
Got my cashmere scarf there...nice stop.
Your vids are great!! If youre ever in Utah, let me know. Excited for your next videos.
I saw your map and it had some very familiar town names (I grew up in Seattle WA and have been to Aberdeen WA often). I knew of two others with the same name and wondered if they were connected to Scotland in any way and here is what I found:
.
**Aberdeen, Washington - founded by Samuel Benn in 1884 was named after a local salmon cannery to reflect its Scottish fishing port namesake Aberdeen, Scotland.
**Aberdeen, South Dakota - est.1881 Alexander Mitchell who was responsible for the choice of town names, was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, after which the town of Aberdeen, South Dakota, was named.
**Aberdeen, Maryland - est.1720 named around 1800 by Edmund Law Rogers, cousin to the Earl of Aberdeen (who became Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1852).
.
**I thought this would interest you. You can Google more info on these cities if you wish. It seems the Scottish pioneers carried some of Scotland with them by naming geographical locations and sites. Washington State did not exist until 5 yrs after Aberdeen WA was established. It was still a part of the Oregon Territory.
.
**Dundee, Michigan 1823 - Persuaded by a native of Scotland, village was named "Dundee".
**Dundee, New York 1834- Name was taken from Dundee, the city in Scotland.
**Dundee, Iowa.
**East Dundee, Illinois.
**West Dundee, Illinois.
**Dundee, Oregon.
.
The name Dundee to have been applied to many roads and counties too. I think you could Google any name of a loved place in Scotland and put USA on the end and will surely find the paths you countrymen took in their journey across the North American wilderness.
++)My own Scottish ancestors took the route of immigration to: Pennsylvania-->bought land in North Carolina-->settled in southern parts of Indiana-->Oklahoma Territory-->Washington State (abt 10yrs after it made statehood.) That is a pretty standard pioneer route as trails were established thru the wilderness.
