Is this van life stuff really for us?! Haha I think we're far too messy and smelly for it đ Being full time van lifers now (lol) we have to deal with the tiny space but I guess thats one of the only downside to incredible road trips across the Scottish highlands and FREEDOM!
This week we find ourselves basically not wanting to move on from the Cairngorms national park haha it's amazing!
We meet some local hairy residence and have a quick canoe on Loch Morlich! Rain and everything.

Still can't understand why there are only 71'000 subscribers. They deserve so many more
Just now watching this in 2024 and they are now at 356,000 and I'm thinking the same thing. They deserve so many more.
Bruh I thought that carrot was Craigâs finger and could not figure out what was hanging off his nail đ€Šââïžđđ
Same
đđ lil manky old ginger finger
Me too!! đ

Omigosh! Me too!!
Saw you guys on the road passing through Rothiemurchus, and involuntarily screamed "CUSTAARRD", my mate was pretty confused đ
hahaha! đ wish that was on film!
Almost was on my end, but had just switched the gopro off đ
âWhere the lads and the lassies wear skirts..... it may always pish downâ đđ Love you guys... Hope youâre âKinging-Itâ in Scotland.... x

Craig "I didn't know I was on death row"
While wearing a black and white striped tee
hahahahahh
Love the new vid, best part or my Sunday :)
haha we didn't put two and two together on that way đ He's such a cheeky cow.
We just found you guys, oh my goodness SO HAPPYY!!! YEEEEEEAH!
Whoop! Thanks for tagging along guys!! Welcome aboard!
I smiled from start to finish watching this, you two are brilliant. x
As a Canadian, watching you paddle makes my heart hurt. I absolutely love this channel and you guys are hysterical. I nearly peed my pants when the bird took out your drone in the last video!!!! After watching your videos I have never wanted to travel more in my entire life, but our province (Ontario) is still in a freaking lockdown. My car is outfitted and ready to go as a camper as soon as this lockdown is lifted!! Thanks for the inspiration and hilarity, you guys are awesome!!!
I love you two - thank you! Makes much better viewing than anything else these days! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!!
@@kingingit You two are adorable! X
You guys just crack me up, so hilarious. Never fails to make me giggle with your mad shenanigans. A fan from Cape Town. Take care and safe travels.
haha Thanks for watching Wendy! đâ€ïž
My favorite vloggers! I tell everyone about your channel. If you're ever in California I can definitely show you a great time!
Ah legend!! Thank you! đ„łđ„ł
Oh man, those high land coooooos! They have my little heart going crazy!
How bloody gorgeous are they.
Also, obsessed with Custards guts. The inside of her is absolutely stunning.
I was also obsessed with seeing highland cattle when we holidayed in Gardenstown on the NE coast of Sconny Botland. We happened upon a cuddly toy one, which was branded as âCuddly Cooâ, who I christened âColinâ. He lives on my parcel shelf in my car.
the music in this video was spot on! i love your videos! they make me smile and actually laugh out loud. great adventures
to you. be safe.
Aw thank you Marilyn, we always try and use happy music or stupid music to fit the scene đ thanks for noticing! â€ïž
The only add reads I don't skip through đ
A busy weekend working 18 hour days I have caught up on so much CZcams but always find myself coming back here going through old videos to go to bed with a smile on my face, such a feel good channel đ€đŒđ€đŒđđŒđ€đŒđđŒ
You guys in that boat were hilarious. âWeâre goin round in circlesâ. Love it đ
You two crack me up and I surely do appreciate it. So many who try to be funny arenât. Theyâre dumb. You two on the other hand slay međ
Haha cheers Robin! đ
I always watch your videos with a big smile!
Your film making gets better every week you absolute beauts
Aw thanks George, you're a champion â€ïžđ
Started following when you visit Canada a while back. Now catching up on your older blogs. You make me laugh so much.
You two are the funniest people. And from a Scottish person - your accents are incredible!!
Love you guys - highlight of the week watching your Sunday video x
Thanks so much Sandra â€ïžđ
How fab is Scotland... Loved the vlog guys! :)
I, like so many others have been isolated since mid March. You two legends help to make it bearable. Thanks for that!
So glad to be of service P! đ„ł
My favorite vloggers. Iâve been with you all the way. Canât wait for new podcasts!
Greets from Brussels
Bruno
Aww you legend! Thank you so much! Working on new podcasts as we speak! x
You guys Crack Me Up! What's even funnier, neither I nor Closed Captioning can understand half of what you say, but it doesn't matter. Still hysterical đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł Thank you for the show! I also appreciate the sharing your highs and lows of daily life.
That drone footage though... simply lush!
You two just crack me up. Thanks đđ€Łđ
Those views â€ïž
A cool thing you can here is stags roaring and you can hear them from a long distance. It is just a great sound. Thanks for your great video.
You guys are adorable, much love from a Van lifer from America đșđČđ„°.
That is so true about the best vanlife feeling is fully emptied, topped up, cleaned van. GLADIATORS READYYYYYYYYY!! đ Although waking up at sunrise on a beautiful morning and chilling with a coffee looking at a beautiful view is pretty special and a lot less hassle! đ
Omg.. Iâm Scottish.. Iâm less than I minute in and Iâm âpishingâ myself laugh đđđđ.. I love you guys!!!
Hahaha a true reflection of van life waking up to a van that looks like the Rolling Stones had a party in there đ€Ł
My hubby and I love you two. You two are natural comedians we love it. Thereâs always time to laugh with you too. And I know everything isnât always roses but I thank you for showing us both sides. I am retired and my husband will retire soon I would love to do what youâre doing even though I am retired most people think Iâm like in my late 50s early 60s Iâm a go-getter like you girl and I love all of your clothes just not sure where you put all those clothes but theyâre absolutely adorable in your wigs. Iâm a hairdresser of 40 years and plus and theyâre amazing. Iâm also a artist and those cows that you love I painted one of those and my daughter hangs up on her front porch I see adorable?
Aimee and Mr. Bull have matching nose rings. đđ€Ł
Sunday evenings are for a lovely roast, and waiting for the #wearekingingit vlog to drop!!
I was rolling when Aimee was emptying the toilet đ. Craig, you may need to let her empty the water every once in a while!
Iâll do the water next time Jon.. heard itâs a tough job, but someoneâs got to do it đ
Coooor what a beautiful placeđ
That intro đđđ Superb vlog...
You two are so flipping adorable xx
Them cows though đ absolutely stunning! We love watching your journey through such a beautiful part of the world, have the best time â€ïž xxxx
We have just left Cairngorms, what a beautiful place I didn't want to leave. Thanks for the video it added a few more things onto our journey and I got to meet reindeer!!!!!!
Whoop! Same as us Lau, we loved it, spent way more time there than we said we would! haha. x
Proper job - smashing vlog as always! We love the Cairngorms - so beautiful. Definitely the best feeling when you've done all the van chores!
It's so true! đ I know, we're loving it a bit too much we don't want to leave!! BUT NC500 calls again.. be lovely and quite for us now too im sure!
Ooh yes would love to see more vlogs of you doing the NC500.. Also brilliant Scottish accents in the intro, makes us laugh so much đđ
Loch Morlich was beautifully calm and mirror-like, when I went there. Saw a deer and a mountain hare there.
Great video! Adam is a beast isn't he! Love the "love boat" inspired music đđđđđŒ
Haha a BFG if you ask me. With a beautiful singing voice đ
How are you guys not viral?!?!?! Youâre so funny!
You are the best lads! And even though I am 48 years young, I want to grow up to be like you. Love kids. Se cuidan. AdiĂłs. đ
Haha thanks Carla! Never grow up - thatâs the ticket đ„ł
I know. I wish I knew that 20 years ago. But I have a 10 year old daughter, and she's teaching me to be fun again. Also my husband he is a goffy with a huge heart. Love you guys.
Omg grandma bannister lmao đ€Ł plus breakfast spicy or non spicy. And those cows ! đź
Wouldn't be a sunday night without a kinging it upload, best way to top off the week. PS. howling at aimee saying she doesn't have PPE for the toilet.
Sorry we're late Dan.. wouldn't leave you totally hanging though! đ
haha đ it's a job(by) and a half that little toilet.. Heavy as two men when it's full - which is always! đ Curry night is every night.
@@kingingit curry all the way!! What did you think of the Bridge?
As always you make me smile
great vlog as usual. we were at cairngorms lower mountain car park wednesday night... rained all night but still loved it.xxx
You two always leave me laughing! Craig, you are quite the professional driver!
I held my breath when I saw Custard barreling over that tiny bridge!
He FLIES Elizabeth đ our stuff is always flying everywhere we always need to make sure we batten down everything đ
What a gorgeous view Scotland has! đ€
It's just incredible Shannon.. đ
đđ€Łđđ€Łđđ€Ł Iâve said this before and Iâll say it again â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžyou two youâre so funny and happy beautiful people. I enjoy watching your videos. Great job!đ
Thank you Martha! đ
I've never watched a single video of yours where I didn't laugh! Hahaha!
You guys are hilarious!
These are terribly unbearable depressing times and thank you for making me laugh! You take care out there lads!
- RAM, from The Philippines
Ram - you little legend, thank you â€ïž
Say hello to everyone in the Philippines, we loved our time there so much x
As always, i really enjoyed the vlog. This Scotland trip brings back nice memories.
Glad you enjoyed it Ron, thanks so much for watching đâ€ïž
Loved this video guys and yes your right about the empty loo ...the full water tank its a great feeling lol ...house dwellers will never get this đ€Łđ
haha simple things in life!
Only just stumbled across this gem of a channel. The two of you are pure comedy gold and seem like a great couple so keep the vids flowing.
šThe haggis run wildšđđđđđđ
đđđ legit had to google haggis when we first got here and someone made that joke to me đ
Kingingit has done it again, lovely to see you two enjoying life, have a great time guys!! â€ïž
Thank you always Vamo, appreciate it đ
My entire maternal family is from there and Iâve never met them or been so thank you soooo much for the thorough full slow exploration of this gorgeous country! đđ€
Love the highland cows! This is my first time on your channel and you guys are hilarious, definitely going to check out more.
Aw thanks miss! We love the coos too, theyre so funny! Thanks for watching x
Another brill video, and your love of highland cooows is beautiful. Keep being you as it lifts the rest of us up with your infectious happiness. (except when your emptying the loo, even the cassette ones can be a pain ). Stay safe, Stay Happy.
Iâve been binge watching your videos. Hilarious! Youâve been to many of the places I want to go. Iâm getting so many ideas! Thanks for what you do⊠oh, I found you through Eamon and Bec.
You guys are just the funniest. Love Sunday evenings watching your vlogs. Definitely my favourites x
Aw you're a champion of the world, thank you! đ we appreciate it!
Another beautiful part of the country. Last time I was there I went up the ski lift and there was snow at the top....in August! Brrrrr.
You have a pretty window view where you are. Love youâre new hat Aimee and I want one cause I have a jacket that colour.
Haha no way! Itâs getting very chilly here now đ„¶ heater stays on a lot longer! Thank you! I do love that colour itâs my new fave!
Another gem of a vlog! Stay safe and healthy sweetiesđ
Ah you're a wee legend Sugs, thank you! Thanks for heading over! đ
Brilliant. The only decent thing worth waiting for. Always makes us smile. Thank you. đ
Youâre a legend Steve!
best. intro. ever!!!!
After crushing our fun bags two weeks ago with Aimees Cancerversary Nostalgia 'greet' (Jockinese for 'cry'), it is great to see that Starburst Smile back on her gorgeous visog. Another 'look at what we're doing and you're not' inspirational tour de force. Thanks lads xoxo
Thank you Our Lord, you always put on a great show! Beautiful land scape. And thanks for making me giggle. Xx
We were in Scotland a year ago and got to see COO calves up close. There are a couple of sheep farmers that demonstrate the skills of their Border collies which was also fantastic. They are in the highlands also. The dogs are so smart and skillful.
I actually love seeing your travel experiences! Get so exited when I see your faces pop up with an new video! Used to go camping at Loch Ness all the time every summer, so happy to see you two appreciating its beauty, Iâm from Inverness but moved to Glasgow 2 years ago now and I truly miss the scenery up the Highlands. I aspire to get a van in the future and do exactly what youâs are doing, living every day to itâs fullest đ§đŒđ«x
Aw thanks Tasmin, you're so lucky to be from scotland - what a place! We have everything crossed that you can get a van and do it in the near future... it's well worth it!!
Gorgeous! The scenery, the animals even the presenter ^-^ Stay safe the Pair of You!!
I watch from London ontario canada. I love watching you show. You make me laugh
Thanks for watching Suzanne! â„ïž
What a gorgeous episode! I can't get enough of this one. It's just perfect right now! You rule it, guys! đ
â€ïžâ€ïž
@@kingingit đž
We're currently touring around the Highlands and have been keeping an eye out for Custard and yourselfs. Safe travels x
You guys are awesome! As, of course!, is Custard. I do like custard. The artwork was a really nice touch for the van. I hope that the artist will be willing to release a couple more masterpieces to perk things up? I suppose she already has an agent, doesn't she? Does she know that her work has been seen by over 26,650 people? Do let us have a better look next time? Scotland is at the top of my bucket list, but I am going with my daughter and/or my grandson. They won't consent to the Cairngornes unless there is a 5â Castle on the premises. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will pack up to go back home with them and then make a sharp left at the airport at Edinburgh to catch the train back out to REALLY see Scotland. Shopping for Kilts and visiting Castles is fine, but I do not EVER consider shopping a leisure activity. They won't let me hire a camper, a narrowboat or anything local. They PRESUME that one in their 60's is daft and needs constant looking after. THIS Granny is going to give them a run for their money!! ÂŁ100.00 to pull up in custard to help me make my escape when they pop into another fudge shop on Princes Street? Please?
You make me feel better about everything. Thank you!
Aw thank you â„ïž Iâm so glad xz
Brilliant, love you guys and those cows!
Yes!!! Sunday afternoon has been made!! đ
Whooop! Yes lads!
Brilliant video make me homesick for Inverness where I was born and bred stay safe đx
Thank you Julie! Will do and we hope you can visit soon!
Great job! It's so pretty there
Aimee, emptying the shitter is a small price to pay for not having to drive that big girl, man up woman, hold your breath and think of your happy place đ©đ·đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I thought your romantic gruel looked delicious, I always think "bitsa dinners" are the best, bitsa this and bitsa that lol.
Your filming and photography is incredible, Scotland is absolutely stunning. I'd love to see you touring all around the UK in custard showing us what we're all missing out on on our own doorstep finding hidden gems of places.
Your videos absolutely make my day, enjoy the rest of your highland travels. Get watching Outlander to see if you can find any filming locations near you xxxxx
Thanks Hayley! I donât want to give Craig to toilet job because it would always been seen as âa mans jobâ and I donât need NO MAN to do it for me đđ
He can also start cooking more from now if heâs going to complain đ
@@kingingit I can hear your voice in my head saying that, I don't need no man to do it for me and stomping off doing your brilliant walk đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I'd happily empty the shitter to not have to drive and take in all the wonderful scenery, but criticise my cooking you can starve sunshine đđ»đ„ đ
Quick question, TromsĂž or Reykjavik in January? Xxxx
Loving your Scottish accents in the intro guys. You are definitely getting better. Stay for a few more weeks and youâll have nailed it. Fife is gorgeous if youâve got no definite plans - and the pubs are still open there!! Woo hoo! đ€Łđ
Hi-lari-ous...you guys are creating the most magical memories (& videos), and... helping me out by having the Scottish holiday that I missed out on this year. HUGE thankya
đđđ
Aw sorry you were unable to come Ros, i hope we're giving you some inspo and tips on where to go and what to see when you can finally get yourself out here đ„ł
Me, my (free) bus pass & camping kit...bring it on next year! Hopefully waayyy up north (the islands). Had a memorable experience near Avimore which included midges, nettles, wild shrubs & my butt! đł For now, content to be living in the Scottish Borders.
Watching you guys trying to paddle that canoe made my day! Brilliant!
Haha completely forgot when we booked the canoe that weâd have to paddle. Pretty fuming really đ
Brill start as usual your Blogs just keep on delivering every week thanks very much
Much appreciated Raffire man!

Just stunning you two, excellent pleased go pro is back. I've got a little parcel ready for you when you do next stop x â€
