Back on Bute, we keep smiling in the face of the worst the Scottish weather gods can throw at us.

[@JennyGordon-s6v]

Thank you for another wonderful video. Love your humour and you make me laugh. Just love driving through these lovely villages with you. ❤😊 thank you.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thanks for coming along :)

[@tracicarr4883]

Love, love, love your cardi AND your wind spinner, Bex. That is one thing I have not made yet! Hate you got rained out on Bute but what an amazing journey you took us on today. Will never get tired of the bridges, graveyards - well all the stuff you share! Have a beautiful day!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Same to you !

[@belindawallace5203]

You’re spoiling us today - Places From The Past and SOAS both on the same day! Really enjoyed both episodes - thank you. Thank you also for my Etsy parcel which has arrived safely, Sirius thanks you for the box >^..^

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Glad the box has been upcycled :) If he fits he sits.

Another great video! And you know I am a sucker for your drone footage! Awesome…. Not a washout, it was excellent. Your dry humor is the best Dizzy. Bex has some mad crocheting skills…very cool! DeNiro is sniffing out the competition 😉. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thanks!! I’m just glad anyone watches my ramblings ;)

Loved this video. We are the Canadians you mentioned meeting at Coulter Kirk, and it made our day for sure. Yes, De Niro is the star in someone’s eye, in this house at least. When we saw your van I used my outside voice while demanding the van come to a stop, and abrupt that stop certainly was. Four of our wee group with the two boys have returned to the heat and humidity of Toronto. We will return when we are tired of this weather, or in a few weeks, whatever comes first. DEW Line. The Distant Early Warning line in Northern Canada was put there during the Cold War and staffed by Canadian Military and, perhaps, other members of NATO, sorry I can’t confirm that part. The wee bridge beside the former ford in Biggar is Cadger’s Brig, said to have been used by Wallace, dressed as a Cadger, while being hunted by some people. Thanks for making these videos, makes eating dinner in front of a screen laugh out loud funny.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Well meeting you guys made my day :) Thanks for the extra info. I had to google what a Cadger was.

[@marjane4344]

Oh wow todays video has a multitude of beautiful sky with others of rainy vistas. We enjoy seeing the differing cities and of course DeNiro who my grandson adores him. Bless him

[@scotlandonashoestring]

DeNiro says “woof” :)

I don't know how my Grandad managed to work on submarines, he was over 6ft and had to sleep in the torpedo tubes more often than not!! Spinners are looking great Bex - I've still not made any! Some very interesting graves & kirks. Beautiful wee places in general....off to look at your photos now 🙂

[@scotlandonashoestring]

In the tubes? Good job he didn’t get fired!!

[@tanithmessenger3581]

@@scotlandonashoestring Lol I know! I think they mostly put him in there cos he snored like crazy haha

[@ebsinger3250]

Thanks for the great video! You're giving us lots of ideas for places to visit when we return to Scotland for the third time! Greetings from Pennsylvania!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

You're welcome!! Glad we can help show off some of what this wee country has to offer :)

[@dthomp06]

Another great, fun, Vlog. Thanks for taking us along.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thanks for watching!!👀

[@cathyp4342]

I loved everything in this video as usual. You never disappoint. The submarine was a bonus! Really cool meeting your fans from Canada. I would have done the same thing if I saw Daisy, stop and go looking for De Niro ... Thanks for all you do.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

The submarine was amazing!!

[@pjk1714]

Enjoyed thoroughly.. Trying to learn more about the area and the little villages. Beautiful part of Scotland.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

There are a load of nice bits around there :)

[@FrankC321]

Scottish Borders, a hidden gem, eh? Enjoyed the drives through the countryside. Hope you folks were able to enjoy the games, as much as you could. Glad you guys are all doing fine! DEW is Distant Early Warning Line. Good guy radar systems looking for bad guy rockets and other incoming.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Ahh, I thought it was some railway thing :))

[@grapesodatravels]

Hurray for Biggar! The puppet theatre was closed when we visited. Is it still a thing? We remember the wee bridge in the town. Seem to recall the memorial bench there had quite a funny plaque....? We love puffins too!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

I think it’s still a thing but we’ve never been. Used to be a brilliant Victorian street museum too.

[@lydiaross2554]

I love the sign on the back of your van. Great advertising and promotion

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Also means I have to behave when I'm driving :)

[@sandiandgregh]

Weather wasn’t great but the video still was. Great to see the Waverley AND the sub. We were in Helensburgh last year and missed seeing a sub returning home by just a day. :( I can’t imagine serving in one. Too claustrophobic for me.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

The sub was amazing. Wouldn’t fancy being on one of those escort boats though.. bit choppy.

[@RobinMuirhead]

Beautiful unforgiving landscape!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Absolutely.

[@lydiaross2554]

Bed, Great job on the crocheted wind spinners

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thanks. Passes the driving hours.

[@reejan8109]

I've never been to Biggar, Lanarkshire (but I've been to Biggar, Saskatchewan). You're about 20 miles from where my father was born (Morningside/New Mains.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Is your Biggar bigger than Biggar?

[@Pollypocket38]

Great video… love ur jumper Bex do u have any for sale

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thanks - I’m fairly new to crochet and not at the level to sell them.
