there also another back story about bathgate bathgate is knowing to have a disused railway station which opened in 1968 as a terminase then closed 2010 and it now sits by argos disused plus this video was very informative to teach people about bathgate and some people who dont know about but well done 🙂

@thewanderingkilt4698 13 күн бұрын

I think that was for MAT Transauto, it transported cars on special railway carriages. It finished further down where b and m is. The disused station at argos opened in the 90s think and was the link just to Edinburgh, it was so popular they added the link to Helensburgh, thanks for your comment cheers g

You didn't have enough time to explore? You're not kidding. You never got more than about 200 metres from your starting point. Paisley's number of listed buildings is second only to Edinburgh in Scotland. And you started out at Poundstretchers and went back to it more than once. Hmmmm. Low marks for effort.

@properjob you are probably right, I was driving past and thought, I have twenty minutes, better than nothing. I was planning on going back when the weather was good. Regardless of what I film it can only be a tester pot kind of thing to encourage other folk to visit. I don't know it as well as I know other places or I would have been more thorough, cheers g.

Love the video ❤ so informative! After watching your video, I was inspired to visit Dunkeld myself. It's truly stunning! I especially loved experiencing incredibly low clouds over the bridge - they looked magical! I was so inspired I even put together my own virtual tour focusing on the views and the food. It was a completely different experience filming it! What was your favorite spot to grab a bite in Dunkeld? Please check out my video too I would love a feedback ❤

@Fatimalillyy hi Fatima, great effort. What do you use for filming? I always film in 4k, I use an osmo action 5 pro now. As to where I went for food, sadly only the coop, I waited 30mins. To get served in the hotel but left. I film lots of places, not all of them work, so the ones that are on my channel are the better ones. It's always a good idea to introduce yourself, I didnt like the sound of my voice at first, you get used to it. Just keep filming,cheers g

A huge thanks for this video. I'm an Ayr born lad only a few short weeks off turning 80, but I left Ayr for the land down under in 1954 aged 9. My Grandparents and their children including my mother lived in a flat above what is now Aldi (as best a guess based on a family history story my Uncle wrote.) They moved to Lochside Rd. I think in the late 1930's. I vaguely remember walking up and down the main street and going over the bridge, I remember friends and I trying to row a boat on the river, probably in the early 1950's. I also remember the beach.

A very pleasant vid that brought back good n bad memories, as a child cycling down the coast from Port Seton to the newt and frog ponds across the wooden bridge, as an adult, the waggon Inn was Fabulous for meals with exceptional staff. The chippy was also great. About 6.9 in I see the white house on left where entrance to waggon Inn was , I noticed the reddish timber pillar at main door which I installed over 20years ago is good as new. The Earl of wemyss was a great guy also his wife and I used to stop for a pint with my brother's dog in the inn and Nigel tranter the author was also there with his lab, made it interesting when both dogs trying to settle in front of log 🔥 without fisticuffs..., However,as wife and I were returning from beach a tad muddy I simply enquired at golf club car park to a "gentleman" If club house was open to non visitors for a coffee, the snooty git looked down on me and exclaimed, certainly not in that attire😂 I replied I don't go out on the mud in my Sunday best . That's always been a problem with Aberlady , and the coast in general,full of golf people that think they own the place.

@thewanderingkilt4698 Ай бұрын

@rha4374 yes, sometimes golf clubs can be so snooty, I have had it too. Civility costs nothing.

Stayed in Girvan recently. Best AirBnb ever. Paid the same price for worst AirBnb ever in Oban. Walks near Girvan are spectacular, some of the best. But Girvan itself is sad, needs refurbishment/advertising/Something to draw the tourists in. Lots of potential but the walks/forests/ scenery need to be promoted more because there is nothing to draw people to Girvan itself.

When I was a kid my gran worked at the Kay Park trampoline and crazy golf hut, so always got free entry lol, the old baths with the wave machine were a treat, as were The Galleon, The Dean Park and free tours for having a library ticket was good, 20p for a bag of animal feed. Some of my best memories are in this shite hole, but that is the thing, as a kid you are oblivious to the scum bags. ;)

I've always known we have Scottish ancestors, but it didn't show up in my specific Ancestry DNA results-though my cousin's did. Well, my mother finally took the 23andMe test, and hers confirmed Scotland, with a "very close" genetic link to Fife! I’ve been to Edinburgh before, and I absolutely loved it-it felt like home.

Fife is such a beautiful part of Scotland, check out some of my other videos from there, culross, dysart, crail, pittenweem,falkland and st andrews. It will give you an idea of the place.
