You were so interested in that piece of road that looked like it came from San Francisco that you missed the massive building to the left! That was the Beresford Building. Said to be Glasgows first skyscraper and is a fine example of Art Deco design. Built in 1938.
Glad you are having a good time in Scotland. The Highlands really are gorgeous 😍. I'm a Scot and have visited a great deal of my country but had never been to Fort Augustus before a week ago! Have fun in Edinburgh.

Americans always stress the 2nd syllable in a word, like the French. But Loch Lomond is pronounced LOHmnd, not l'MOND. First syllable stressed, second syllable crushed. Follow that rule for most UK pronunciations.
They can pronounce it how they want, you brute ". Just messing Seeders, i did chuckle though. He was a light weight politician, Falklands/Malvinas time, was'nt he ?
I’m from the hills you called mountains at the start of the video they called the campsie hills at the bottoms a town called lennoxtown if you want to see somewhere truly amazing go to the Isle of Skye and go to either the fairy pools or neist point there’s no where like there anywhere else on the planet 😊
I live in the central belt of Scotland and love visiting the highlands. I've never been to Loch Ness or Inverness but did some tours last year. I recongised Glencoe and some of the areas around Loch Lomond. It's another world up there. Furthest North for myself is Mallaig on the west and Aviemore to the east.
Lots of big jumps in editing, from the 3 sisters in Glencoe to Inverness, OOOFT! Her accent reminds me when an American friend asked me how to get to "Lake Lamond" To be fair she did pronounce Glasgow and Edinburgh rather well, not your usual American tourist "Glass-cow" and "Edinboro" Glad you enjoyed your time in our amazing country Tay, you should have visited Dundee aka Tayside!
I’ve often noticed Americans are used to driving long distances in a short a time as possible, but trying to do that in somewhere like Scotland particularly in the Highlands, you miss so much, you would have just driven past so much lovely scenic and historical places. And try and stay away from the traditional tourist places, Loch Ness although is nice there are actually much more beautiful lochs and places to visit, some quite near Loch Ness itself where you can enjoy peace and quite away from the tourist throngs and commercialism
at @9:34 You can see my old house from there. Fort Augustus is a lovely small town / village. I think we got more tourists than residents that lived there.
low-mond , in summer the waters are like mirrors. you see the hills reflected perfectly. in my old job, i travelled all over Scotland - i wish i had kept a journal? Loch Fyne (fine) is good too.
I think the "castle" was on the left hand side of the road while driving north so possible Auchendennan House. It is very close to the Duck Bay and Cameron mentioned by others but these are on the right hand side. It was on sale in 2020 so plenty of videos/pictures inside and out available if you search for them.
I suppose it’s stereotypically Scottish to be unreasonably chippy about how non Scots pronounce place names, but I can’t deny that it makes me unreasonably happy to hear visitors especially Americans , pronounce Glasgow as we do. I am well aware of the condescension in this view but there you go. It’s the small things and all that. Anyway, thanks for visiting and coaxing a smile from me (not easy, another stereotype) .
The midges in the Highlands warned me that they would finish what they had started should I ever return! Their wingbeats are like the soundtrack to 'Apocaplyse Now!'
You need at least 4 weeks in Scotland to even start to do the place justice, there is so much to see. If this vlog covers everywhere you visited in Scotland I'm sorry to say you've missed a great opportunity, you've barely scratched the surface 😉😉
Theres over 1000 pubs and restaurants in Glasgow city centre,, so it’s not hard to find somewhere to eat,, as for public toilets,, you can go into and pub in Scotland and use the toilet facilities without purchasing anything with no problems 99% of the time ,, loved the video and we welcome all visitors to our Beautiful SCOTLAND 😀
It's often difficult to find a good place to eat when you don't know a city. It's just unfortunate that if you had walked the other way towards the city centre, for example, there woulds have been loads of choices without needing a reservation.
Looks like you made it all the way to Inverness, which is where the last 30 seconds of the video were shot. Please identify the names of the towns and places you visit in your videos!
the building you drive by at 7:11 if its just of the a82 and the one I'm thinking of its just someone's home normally you can see horses llamas and a big ass dog in the field in front.
Hard to find a Scottish restaurant in Scotland (and also hard to find an English restaurant in England). But the upside is there are plenty of other cuisines to try.
just a little thing Glasgow is pronounced as Glaz-go, rather than Glass-gow... lol the steep hill next to Beresford Hotel is a killer!!! My home is the higlands of scotland a place called Ardnamurachan its the most westerly point on british mainland! defo worth a visit next time your in scotland. Loch Lomond is Pronounced Low-Mund, I think the big place you slowed down for is Loch Lomond Manor. Glen Coe is famous for its beautiful views and that big mountian you stopped at is buachaille etive mòr. the small village on loch ness is called Fort Augustus, Great Video gonna keep an eye for your next video.
I see you appreciate Marks and Spencers (M&S) products. It is an iconic British brand; it also sells clothes, toiletries and other products but its Food Halls are highly regarded. M&S own brands are seen as premium not like supermarket own brands.
Glasgow Necropolis was heavily featured in the latest batman film, Batmans rendevous with Cat woman in the graveyeard scenes were all the Necropolis. Tonnes of movies over the years have been filmed in Glasgow, for me the the movie that caused the most disruption in the city center was World War Z. What a pain in the arse that movie caused me in my daily life. Was i compensated? Nope was i f**k.
@@tiggerwood8899 Glasgow is almost like little Hollywood now, i wouldn't mind so much if these film crews did not turn Glasgow city center to a halt. I was late for work every morning coz of f**king Brad Pitt.
She seems lovely but not sure why she didn't book in the town, Scottish Food is brilliant in recent years. What about The Gannet or The Ubiquitous Chip?
You didn`t venture very far for a place to eat. There`s 100`s of restaurants, cafes and bars that also sell food. In fact, you were only a hop, skip and a jump from Byers Road in the West End with lots of eateries. Get a free map from your hotel next time you`re in Glasgow.
I'm local, to Loch Lomond, looks like your along from the Duck Bay marina so your castle is the local youth hostel just called Loch Lomond youth hostel.
It's such a shame that you didn't stop for a few hours in the Lake District, before you crossed the border. Maybe you'll have time later because you won't regret it. The scenery is stunning and, if you liked the west of Scotland, you'll love the Lakes.......................................the ancient Englishman.
Cheers to you for enjoying our land lassie but I have to say that I will be fucking gutted if you don't try some Tunnock's Tea Cakes. I could recommend a vast range in addition but in the end it's all just shits and giggles lass. Be well, cheers 🍻❤
@@taystaunton : For such a small nation, the UK offers so much diversity Tay, Scotland itself is a great example of that, the West Coast is so different to the East Coast, the Border areas in the South are different to the Highlands, the further North you go, the more diverse, each city is unique, the extreme North West, although not a huge area, is wild and remote, and ruggedly beautiful, then you have the many islands, off both the whole West Coast, and then the extreme North East, and of course, there’s the 500, which is a fabulous drive! You need to take 12 months to see the UK Tay, and research knowledgable locals for the best guidance! 🙏🏻👍🏻
Just in case you buy a sandwich or a baguette out of many of the nice bakery places be careful because some of the gulls can be very aggressive and would think nothing of swooping down and grabbing the food out of your hand. Seriously!
Sorry you got bad advice on where to go in glasgow. It’s worth going again so you can see it properly. Avoid Sauchihall street completely, it was ok 10 years ago, not anymore. Stick to the city centre like merchant city area, George square, then West end Argyll street, Byres road, Ashton lane. Good luck!
Glad you enjoyed your tour of my very own Scotland, i always laugh when i hear Americans calling it "Loch Lo' mond", its just "Lomond", all one word, said exactly as it's spelled. :)
Catch a train to North Berwick and walk to Yellowcraig beach from the sands of North Berwick Or drive to Yellowcraig and walk to North Berwick Stunning
There’s a law of physics which means that when you are on a trip and not looking for a restaurant you pass one every ten steps and when you are looking for one they mysteriously vanish…. Happens to me all the time 😂
To say you couldn't find anything local to eat in Glasgow is ridiculous. Glasgow has literally hundreds of eating places .
Her Google was clearly not working that day, such a shame.
I thought this 😂 like blue lagoon in not far from where they were could have got a battered mars bar 🏴
My thoughts exactly, staying on Bath Street and not able to find a restaurant, only over 100 within 5 mins walk from the hotel, pmsl.

You were so interested in that piece of road that looked like it came from San Francisco that you missed the massive building to the left! That was the Beresford Building. Said to be Glasgows first skyscraper and is a fine example of Art Deco design. Built in 1938.
Jfk stayed there once

Not Cameron House. I been going there for the last 5 years. I believe it is Rossdhu House.

If you like doughnuts, Glasgow has huge ones (handmade in store) in Tantrum Doughnuts, Gordon Street.
