- Get ready to ditch the guidebooks and dive into the true soul of Scotland!
Episode one of our epic travel documentary series takes you off the beaten path and deep into the heart of the Highlands. Forget tourist traps and picture-perfect vistas, we're going in search of the stories that whisper from the windswept hills and resonate in the cobbled streets.
Our journey begins in Perth, the ancient capital city steeped in history and buzzing with contemporary life. From the majestic River Tay to the towering Scone Palace, Perth sets the stage for an adventure unlike any other.
But our hearts yearn for the vast open countryside, so we're heading north into Perthshire, a land of emerald valleys and rugged peaks. Our first stop? The charming town of Blairgowrie, nestled amidst the rolling green hills like a forgotten treasure.
Blairgowrie may be small, but its stories are BIG. We'll meet the locals who keep the history alive, from weavers who have mastered ancient crafts to farmers whose families have tended the land for generations. We'll explore hidden corners, unravel forgotten tales, and discover the heartbeat of a community that thrives in the shadow of giants.
Tune in for episode one and prepare to be swept away by the raw beauty, the vibrant history, and the indomitable spirit of the Scottish Highlands. You'll never look at a travel brochure the same way again!

Blairgowrie and Highland Perthshire is such an underrated place, the walk along the Rivers Tummel in Pitlochry, Tay in Perth and Ericht in Blairgowrie are beautiful
Heya Tyler! Thanks for dropping by and for watching. It means alot. I agree with you, it really is an underrated place. What river walk is your favourite?
@@ThisIsKylesLife the Pitlochry one, you get views over the Tay Forrest Park and you can go over the "shakin Brig"
Thanks so much for making this video focusing on Blairgowrie. My grandfather, Alexander Davidson, sang tenor in the Presbyterian church choir in Blairgowrie before he left for Canada in 1904. His father had a bakery in Kirkmichael Parish. I have few particulars, only that they were Davidsons in Perthshire, and Blairgowrie has always held an imagined place in my memory. 💐

The effort you put into these videos is amazing and so underrated!
Hey Zack, thanks for that :) I’m glad you noticed!
Excellent production. Really enjoyed the aerial shots, such a spatial perspective....
Thanks Dave and it was lovely to meet you in the passing today. Loved hearing your story. Hopefully catch you again sometime :)
Class video Kyle, particularly loved the aerial shots, you've put a lot of work into these videos and it shows man, just well made content
Aww that’s lovely of you to notice the effort 😊❤️ thanks for watching!
Well done Kyle :)
Klaudia 😁 thanks! Enjoy your holiday coming up and stay safe :)
This is the best one yet, Kyle! Those drone shots are awesome!
Venator Dude, thanks for this. I appreciate it ❤️. Which drone shot is your fav??
@@ThisIsKylesLife I love the one over the wellmeadow. It's so cool to see it from that angle. That whole montage at the beginning with the drone shots and music was stunning as well.
Venator was it the birds eye drone shot flying upwards revealing the ‘cross’ of the Wellmeadow? Hmmm... my favourite drone shot was flying towards the castle on the hill with the river in the distance.
I live in Edinburgh and I wanna move there
You should if you can ✨
Awesome video Kyle. As an Australian with Scottish ancestry I will definitely come and visit Blairgowrie when international travel is allowed again. :)
Cheers, Luke! You’ll enjoy exploring Blairgowrie for sure. PS. I wrote about this comment on FB -
“The beautiful part about having an Australian, Kiwi, American, and Canadian audience is that we’re able to share our beautiful town, Blairgowrie, with those at the other side of our world. Especially with those whom have never, ever heard of the local people who make this the magical place we come to discover, until now.”
“Thank you to our fellow Aussie, Luke for his lovely comment on Episode One of our Discover Scotland Series.❤️”
@@ThisIsKylesLife My pleasure and thanks for the wonderful Facebook post. :)
I was in his store last August, a couple times, but he was not there. I hope he is doing well!
He’s still busy making his tweed whenever I’m walking by his window :)
A branch of my family, the Gilruths, came from Blairgowrie to America in the early 1700's. Hope to see this soon.
Hiya! :D Lovely to read your comment. Ah the great migration to the states. I heard many also continued north into Canada. Did any of your family make it that far north?
@@ThisIsKylesLife My branch came to the South, where we are now. They travelled with one of Daniel Boone's parties into Kentucky/Ohio River valley and spent some generations, there then my GGF came to Mississippi, where all of the other branches of my family came (they' all came in the 17th and 18th centuries from different parts of Britain).
@@MegaElvisdI'd love to know more about your families travels from my dear town Blairgowrie
