My husband and I went to Scotland in 2011. We went from Glasgow westward stopping to see my ancestral castle near Inverness. We headed north spending a couple days on Isle of Skye. We ended up in Edinburgh, but we loved the highlands and could have spent all of our time there. We stayed in B&Bs. Feel if we were younger we could of done more hiking. Enjoy your time😊
We went to Isle of Skye after driving the North Coast 500 in this series, and I can't wait to share those videos, too! I think the Isle of Skye is my favorite place in Scotland, so I'm thrilled to hear you were able tot visit! 😀
Haha! Love that. I admit our slow travel road trips in 2020 and 2021 were fun, but we're back to planes and trains these days in addition to automobiles nowadays!
Hey Guys... glad you enjoyed it here (I live in, and love Caithness ... you pronounce it wrong, think Cape... but with the 'TH" being as English language depicts... and Ness.... like loch Ness). Come again, but with better foot wear 😁😁. Great Blog, you went to see much more than most do when visiting, and you gave myself and my wife some ideas too. We're not originally from here, but we love it in Caithness. Not everyone makes it here, it's much more about being part of it, than part of the wide media driven world. Both my wife, Jen, and I have travelled extensively, and spent time with the locals and in strange off the beaten path places. So we applaud you both. Gonna subscribe, and enjoy your travels with you. If you come back, let me know... there's way way way more to see... and the islands are a must for anyone reading this.
So glad you enjoyed watching the video!! Yes, we ABSOLUTELY want to make it back to Caithness on another trip. This time we'll pronounce it correctly, too, haha! What have been some of your favorite off-the-beaten-path places around Caithness that you'd recommend we check out? 😀
I'm another person that doesn't like getting close to the edge of cliffs, I don't think of them collapsing but rather me stumbling and going over the edge!
I enjoyed that a great deal. I live in Wick and know all of the places you visited but it was great to see and hear your thoughts on this wonderful area. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your time here.
Great Content ! You guys really explored Scotland. We didn't do Wick and Caithness. It's trip we will take with our cousin probably in late summer or early fall. How was the driving at that time of the year? Was it November ? Hope you guys are doing ok. Sending you much love and affection from Richmond, Va. 😍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Thanks guys!!! Thanks as always for watching! Yes, it was November and it was hard to drive that time of the year just because we were under SUCH a time crunch with wanting to only be on the roads during the daylight (since there are no street lights and plenty of wild animals). Hope you guys are doing well, too!
Great you explored the interior of Caithness! It is the county my wife and I now live in and we really like living there. If you like Neolithic stuff you really have to go to Orkney. Stonehenge is just a modern rip off😂😂😂😂🦄🏴🦄🏴🦄
@@MeansToTravel I love the Grey Cairns in the central chambers there are stones set like standing stones and are really impressive. We both like Dunnet Head and DUNCANSBY HEAD and Stacks. Our dogs love the beaches particularly Dunnet Beach We live in Thurso so will have to wait for that video.
@@mr.meanstotravel no problem it is funny how people get some words right that you think they would have problems with yet others for example Sinclair they get wrong for the local pronunciation. Edinburgh is one that a lot of Americans get wrong but I sometimes think they get confused as even locals pronounce it differently depending on which part of Edinburgh they come from!
@@neilmorrison7356 We must go back when we can actually go inside the cairns! In the next episode we go to Dunnet Head, but the wind was so bad in John O Groats for us that we didn't get to explore much of Duncansby Head, unfortunately! Thurso is in the next episode, too, so I hope you guys like it! 😀

Thank you for this. I was born in Wick and left when i was 10. I have some lovely memories, it was lovely to see the old place again
Our pleasure! It's a really neat town!

Every time I see more of your NC500 trip I think the same thing...
Y'all enjoy road trips about 1 billion times more than we do! 😂
Haha! Love that. I admit our slow travel road trips in 2020 and 2021 were fun, but we're back to planes and trains these days in addition to automobiles nowadays!
@@MeansToTravel yes, I bet you have lots more content to get to editing and publishing, don't you?
@@MagentaOtterTravels oh heavens yes haha!
Yay 😊 great fun. I do love the moody landscape of Scotland and sheep. Thanks for sharing 🙌☀️👍
Us too! It was so interesting to see all of this bog area in autumn - especially after so much rain!
@@MeansToTravel 😊🍂🍁
Such a fun day full of history!
Almosttttt like we got to go back in time, but not quite 😉
I really loved visiting a longbarrow in the Cotswolds and sitting inside a 5,000 year old tomb! Such a unique experience 😊
Yeah I absolutely love your Cotswold videos, and virtually tagging along on adventures like those!
@@MeansToTravel I have certainly learned to appreciate ancient history so much more after spending this time in Britain 🩷🇬🇧
Yes! It’s everywhere! 🙌🏻
I can't believe how many stone circles there are in Britain!😮
Right!? And it's crazy how little we know for sure about them! Makes them all the more magical. 😀

I love all the history Derek!!
He's delighted you say that, because it's one of his favorite things to share about in our videos! 😀
So so SO loved exploring this stretch of the NC500 with the lovely MeansToTravel! 🎉
I couldn’t agree more, it was such a fun day exploring with you!
I'm another person that doesn't like getting close to the edge of cliffs, I don't think of them collapsing but rather me stumbling and going over the edge!
That’s a good point too! That’s something I’ve thought about a lot at cliffs in Utah where there are a lot of loose stones! 😳🙈
Eliz, I stay away from edges too 😉
YOU GET IT! 😆
I enjoyed that a great deal. I live in Wick and know all of the places you visited but it was great to see and hear your thoughts on this wonderful area. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your time here.
Yes we loved exploring your area! So glad to hear you enjoyed the video, and we hope you like the rest of our Scotland series! 😀🙏🏻🏴
That Castle Sinclair used to be huge!🏰
It did! So many people must have lived there back in the day!
