The Endless Adventure is there any reason why you vlogs are 3-4 weeks behind .
Is this because you don’t want to bump in to your followers or some other reason . 👍🏻
0:33 very professional 👍👍👍 great fun to watch it. ☺☺☺
Hiya. o/
I've got a bottle of 18-yr-old Glenfiddich you're welcome to try *without* lime if you're coming this way.
John Smith's Smooth is the safe choice in a lot of pubs if you don't like bitter or lager and can't face three pints of Guinness.
Ah my birthday. Have a good one guys 🙂
Your vlogs are mini works of art. As a Brit it reminds me there is so much to see in our small cluster of islands (globally speaking) if we could depend on the weather who would go abroad! That being said we also benefit from cheap travel to Europe, which I have often enjoyed. Thanks for helping me plan where to go next x
I was there working and spoke to the female she was lovely hope to see yous again next year
That part with the ducks was lit!
Drakes of Hazard, haha
Indian Runners. Always fun to watch :-)
Saying "lit" in Glasgow and you would get your jaw ripped!
I don't know what I was expecting, but I lost it when the ducks and collies appeared.
yeh i have a collie and that happens every year and collies are extremely popular here in dunoon cause there is a lot of farms in dunoon
Guys, I just have to tell you that I absolutely love watching your adventures! Your vlogs are so beautiful, very informative and extremely professional looking. Your joy & enthusiasm when experiencing new things is so infectious and as a Brit, I especially enjoy seeing you travel around the UK and enjoying all that this tiny island has to offer. I also applaud you for living the life that you want. So many would like to do what you do but choose not to - so good on you! Happy travelling! :o)
your comment says it all
As islands go it's big!
And so can’t.
My Dad's family, we believe, came from the little town of Rothe, south from Elgin where the Rothe runs onto the Spey. A few distilleries there, Glen Rothe and Glen Grant among them.
Yeah, stay clear of John Smiths beer. It's a bit like drinking the equivalent of mechanically reclaimed meat. There are so many fantastic brewers in the UK that make much superior beers and ales. Even the big supermarket chains will have at least a few local brews. To be honest, I'd sooner do without than have John Smiths
I agree John Smiths has to be the up there with the worst thing I have ever tasted!
@@timmyelite2951 I take it that you never had Websters. Those were dark days.
no name, I've bought It in Florida liked it, My father drank it
John Smith is rank! That and Fosters was always a pound a pint as that’s the only way it would sell.
@@noname-mq6vw I'm from North Yorkshire. There's tap water with more flavour than John Smiths. It really is lowest common denominator stuff for people whose rhetorical big guns are using terms like snowflake and hipster. I think the words you may have been searching for, between getting startled by traffic lights and looking longingly at your cousins, were normal and tasteful.
I was the kid in the black Adidas t-shirt and it was a pleasure being in ur video 🤙😂
We're adopting you here in the U.K.! 💖😘
Watched you two over the last two years and love your vids. I’m Welsh but have to say the Scots outdo us and the English/Irish for celebrating their heritage. Glad you enjoyed your day there and love the fact you love it here in the UK
Wayne Well in northern ireland has two distinct communities with two different national identities can't speak for england,but thats how it is in northern ireland.In the republic all the hallmarks of irish culture are strong the music and gaelic games except for the language which is much weaker then welsh .Half a million went to the fleadh(folk music festival) and its growing every year.
Wayne Beasley as an English who’s moved to Wales, it seems they’re very proud of it and definitely the language.
Braemar Games, Pitlochry and massed piping ❤ Scotland 🏴 Cymru forever ❤😊
The music with the marching ducks made it even funnier,hilarious!!😅👍💖
Hi, I live in Scotland and highland dancing is our traditional dance that lots of us participate in. I do highland dancing myself, I hope you enjoyed your stay while at Scotland! Lots of Love (love your channel btw 💕)
Awe! You just made those kids day. They will never forget how they met a youtube couple and were mentioned in their vlog. You guys are the sweetest. I enjoyed this video so much!
A Morson yes, they spent the next week telling the class about it
The big question is, when travelling to Scotland.. did you take the high road, or the low road... Sorry had to say it!
I loved that! Those dancers... Wow. Springs of steel in their legs! Thanks for showing us the cowel x
Really looking forward for some more Scotland. Great videos guys, keep up the good work.
Ahahahahaha! I can’t stop watching the ducks! Your editing is golden!
I love the way you both are so comfortable with the camera and make me feel as if I am right there with you two.
So all 3 of my cats reacted very strongly to the bagpipes playing in this video. they were running around meowing like crazy xD I experienced that once before when watching "The Crown", but somehow I can't force the reaction by just playing random bagpipes music. Thank you for giving me that extra bit of entertainment ;)
They have a great taste in bagpipe music ^^ that bagpipe scene in the crown was a fine piece indeed
Let's face it we all find them pretty offensive
Great video. Thank you. Love to be able to see the world through your eyes. Thoroughly enjoy your videos. I like how you combine the history and culture along with the local customs and food.
So cool to see traditional culture like this and you guys really appreciating it, thumbs up!
You guys are so kind 😃❤️❗️. Those kids loved you ! Your smiles warm up the coldest of days 👌. Be well and prosper 🖖
Brilliantly fun episode guys. From food to local festival it was perfect. And no need for drone shots! :) Safe travels and Blessings, James and Kim
I admire you guys for trying the local food everywhere you go and If ever i saw you guys in the UK i would love to come over and say hello.
Love the Highland games. I've been to one where I live in Canada, but it would be epic to go to one in Scotland. Thanks for sharing!
Great video from Scotland! Can't wait for more videos.
You guys do such a great job of capturing the vibes of a place! Feels like we have been to the Highland Games ourselves now, thanks!!
great festival. your video is excellent.
Another great segment. Sigh, I wish I was back in Scotland. Had the best time there and will return in a heart's beat!
Have watched you guys renovate renovated camper from the start, just going through the older food vlogs and found you came to my home town! Very cool
You guys are so fun to watch. Love these adventures in Scotland! Can’t wait to get there someday. 😀😀 My kids would have loved those rides!
Great to see you both, again! Xx
Awesome vlog, as always! Definitely the best travel vloggers out there!
glad to know the games are still going strong.. served in the Navy on board the USS Holland from 79-81 and got to witness one of those games.. lots of fun, food,,, and drinks ... I LOVED SCOTLAND!!!!
Great video from Scotland! Can't wait for more videos you guys are great.......I would try haggis
Looks great guys - I first tried stovies at a scottish wedding this year, they brought big trays of it out near the end of the night after all the drinking and dancing, it was such a great late night snack.
As an Englishman living in Scotland I can honestly say you made the right choice in stovies but the poor choice in John Smiths 😂. Looking forward to the next episode! 👍
Very beautiful video. Nice place. Great work friends.
Loved it .You took me back a lot of years . Have been in Canada for over 60 years.
Ach, I am so jealous that you were able to take in a typical Scottish Hieland (Highland) Game. Glad you enjoyed the Games. It was good to see that wee bit of home again. Enjoy the rest of your Scottish vacay. Slàinte.
love your shows. struggling atm and you give me a little bit of escapism n hope for the future. keep it up!!! 😊x
Wow! 151k subscribers, nice👌🏼 I’m thrilled that you are in Scotland, I would love to see more, l have been to an Orlando, FL highland fest, which looked very simulated to that. I love Scottish culture, I can’t wait for the next video 😆
I was there in 1974 while stationed on the USS Los Alamos AFDB-7 in the Holy Loch. I loved it, great time were had by all way into the night for several nights.
Another great video.
Don't ever stop.
I like to watch blogs of Americans visiting Britain, but only come back to your channel! Down to earth wholesome goodness, thanks guys!
What a fantastic video! You just keep putting out more and more amazing content. Two thumbs up. Getting accosted by that gang of Scottish youth was an amusing side adventure. :)
That must have been a great day! Thanks for the video 😊
I do highland dance I have done for 10 years! Hoping to go to coral at some point! The people I saw dancing where some that I knew! I’m so glad you enjoyed your time here in Scotland xx
I danced at the Cowal games in 1982 What a memory brought back Thanks guys
Looks like a blast guys! Haggis dog looks... interesting. :P
This was the only highland games I ever saw, more than a decade ago. In Dunoon as well. Happy you got to see that nice place.
Love your channel, love your enthusiasm for other cultures and foods. If your back in Scotland anytime try pick a time when the Edinburgh Military Tattoo is on you will love it.
Oh yah it is
Fantastic event to do
Guys if you get a chance head up north to Fort William and west to Ardnamurachan its fantastic scenery up there and great seafood
Strontian and Loch Sunart is just beautiful
And Aveymore
I miss scotland sooooo bad!! Really hope to go back this summer
Meat + Potato + A stove = Stovies
Though a pot comes in handy too or else you'll just make a mess of your stove.
Stovies are fucking amazing, defo my second fav but mince tatties and doe balls are number 1
I hope to be able to dance at Cowal someday, I recently got back into highland, it's super fun!
That looks like an amazing time. SO glad you got to meet some fans and if you're ever in San Diego, you can pick my brain anytime. It'd be good to share a whiskey or beer with you guys.
Never heard about those games 'till you guys mentioned it few videos ago, this thing is awesome!
Knowing how much you two wanted to go to the Highland Games I’m so happy it worked out for you. I would have watched the ducks and dancing, and eaten haggis dogs while listening to bagpipes in the background all day long! So much fun and could it have even been in a more beautiful location???
I love watching your videos of the U.K. I live in New England and also I’ve traveled abroad and all around the US. The funny thing is, I have not been to England or Scotland. Perhaps because we have so much in common. I was always bent on the exotic. However, I have to say that it’s so amazing and cool to see where most of New England’s culture is derived from.
Watching these videos of your travels to the UK, has sparked a desire to go deeper and explore the historical and cultural side, and of course the natural beauty of these iconic lands. Having a solid and sound background in US and World History, it would be fitting to vacation at the UK and be fully immersed.😊
Cullen skink was my favorite thing I tried there! Soo good!
I really like ur happy videos. Truly what’s great about CZcams. Always cheer me up some, ur a lovely couple.
You do such a great job in telling the best places to go and stay in Britain! Love the U.K.!
Haggis is awesome, so many different types, each good butcher has there own recipe, highland dancing,
You're in Scotland again. Welcome!
continuously fantastic content.. love it
WHAT a rich culture we have in GREAT BRITAIN . thank you both well done :))
I lived in the Uk for almost 7 years and I didn't know about Cowal Gathering. Looks amazing
The Lake District in Cumbria is Like a mini Scotland and very easy to drive through on the way back down the M6 motorway. Keswick, Grassmere and Windermere then back on to the M6 going south...
John Smiths is an English ale called a bitter. There are many bitters and they are still popular despite the modern invasion of lager (beer). Great video. ATB MMMD
Hey! Nice movie and documentation! I was competing this day for Germany and I was not able to see all of the attractions around the Event. Thanks for Sharing (-:
Great video. Loved the ducks - epic!
The swarming by the 'Neds' less impressive.... ;)
You have to go to the Military Tattoo held in Edinburgh every August!
Love the ducks!!!!
Welcome to Scotland!!
Love it!
Hope you guys do the Scottish 500! great videos, you 2 are a blast :D
if you guys ever get the chance to come back, you should come to the Royal Highland Show in Ingliston, Edinburgh. Its every year in June, around 3-4 days usually the 20th onwards and its just brilliant. It started out as an agricultural trade show so there's a lot of animal auctions and shows, and farming gear but its open to the public and there's a lot of stuff like pipe band competitions, dog trials, hand crafts, food and loads more.
Scottish Highland games, kilts and bagpipes! Yes please. 😆 Great video guys. And yes Logan Paul will melt your brain.
We were at Cowal gathering in 2013, the last year pipe band competitions were held there. We were welcomed at the Clan Lamont tent like family (the Lamonts inhabited the Cowal peninsula, and I'm a Lamont). Haggis and chips! And we heard a rock band belt out, believe it or not, Country Roads! I'm going to take in Braemar next time I go. Btw, you missed one of the traditions though. After the games, the bands all march down the high street in Dunoon wearing silly wigs and or Groucho glasses. I've got a pic of one band wearing Elvis wigs!
Cullen skink is good, you can pick it up in most super markets as well over there.
According to CZcams you've passed 150K subscribers, congratulations to the both of you.
Hahaha... Drakes of Hazzard...
Looks like you enjoyed yourselves... :)
Those kids though...
You gotta find the smaller batch Scottish beers...
Orkney Skull Splitter (Named after Thorfin Hausakliuuf, the 7th Earl of Orkney) is my favourite so far...
BrewDog make some interesting options also...
I was there at the same time as you guys and the ducks were amazing and I also danced the day before but that dog was the cutest
Love the fact your sticking to the good old Scottish 5 n drive rule 😜
if scenery is what you want "The Queen's view" at pitlochry is a must. Just up the road from my previou recommendation, the Edradour distillery.
Simon Templar in dunoon just now
Can't wait to go back to Scotland, you should check out Stirling!
This was a fun day!
Hey Guys...I love your videos - and am watching all of them. You are both intelligent; enthusiastic and lovely - but really...a "bunch" of hills! ... a Bunch (lol smiley face)
Looks like fun times!
Love Scotland. Love Scottish people.
When you're back in England you should try traditional cooked Haslet from a butchers (not supermarket ones). It's very much like haggis only nice.
Oh gosh, not John Smith's beer! You deserve so much better 🤣🙈 xx
Fantastic! More ducks and sheepdogs please... You film a nice sheep btw. Do a compilation? I, along with most, watched One Man And His Dog (sheepdog trials) - I love collies ♥️
I have always wanted to see the highland games have fun hope you come to Cheshire one day beautiful countryside and Cheshire cheese
John Smiths is from Yorkshire, brewed in Tadcaster near York.
My nephews girlfriend hadn't even heard of Stovies, so when my sister asked her "would you like some Stovies " she said "I've never had stovies before so just give me one to try it", and was totally perplexed when we all fell about laughing :)
'internal organs, I didn't grow up eating them'. that made me laugh out loud.
Awesome! I wish more men would follow tradition and do the Sword Dance and Highland Fling. Military tradition.
John smiths is brewed in Tadcaster North Yorkshire....like most British beers these days it’s owned by a foreign company. ( Heineken ).....
Comedy mixed up with history and culture! 😊👍
