Glencoe Road Trip: Discovering the Beauty of Scotland's Highlands

[@RaymondHogg-p2e]

Your drone footage sets you above a lot of other channels. Fantastic job!

[@aventuralina]

Thanks a lot for your feedback 🥰

[@PepitoGrilloCanarias]

Thank you for your videos. I visited Glencoe in 1993 and I must say that the area is amazingly beautiful. It was in winter time and I remember that the car we rented was totally frozen, well, not the car but the windshield , and doors. It took us 40 minutes to be able to clean the frozen snow and open de door. Great experience, I remember that some lakes and rivers were also frozen.

[@aventuralina]

I can imagine that it must be crazily beautiful in winter 😍 I’d love to see these frozen lakes someday myself 🤩

[@EZYTravels]

The highlands are such an amazing place to visit! Unique place in the world with so much natural beauty.

[@aventuralina]

I totally agree! This definitely wasn't my last trip to the highlands!

Another great video. Amazing shots of Glenfinnan from the drone 👏

[@aventuralina]

Thank you!!! Seeing that train crossing that bridge was a dream of mine for a very long time 🥹 No idea why I was so hyped about it but I am super happy with the shots I managed to take with my drone ☺️

[@ersrvd]

Thank you for sharing the views of Glencoe Valley! Great place to visit for Harry Potter fans and people that enjoy nature. 😃

[@aventuralina]

Glencoe is perfect for people who love nature (and Harry Potter freaks like me ✌🏼😁)! For me this definitely was the best during my Scotland trip 😍

[@brucecurtis6281]

Saying glencoe valley is like saying river Colorado river. Glen is Gaelic for the English approximation of valley. A wide valley is a strath in Scotland. As in Strathspey, of the river Spey, or valley of the river Esk , is the water water; esk being the English approximation of uisge; literally water. Uisge beatha means water of life. Basterdised as whisky in the English language translation. Like eau de vie. Modern spell check is an equivalent of the colonising English suppression of the Scots Gaelic place names. P

A really good beautyful place to enjoy peace, nature, landscapes. The Glenfinnan viaduct is very impressive and also in this place you can do activities like climbing the surrounding mountains and watch the waterfalls that are there. Thanks for showing us this amazing place Alina 😊 Scotland is a place of great beauty.

[@aventuralina]

Thank you for your really kind words 🥰 Yes, Scotland is absolutely amazing and the perfect place for all outdoor lovers 😍 I enjoyed this trip a lot!

[@antonioadventure]

@@aventuralina You're welcome 😊 that's great you have enjoyed this beautyful country and have made a great videos about Edinburgh, Glasgow and Glencoe Valley, i saw of all them 😊

[@johnscot1]

Very nice video of the "happy place" for this Scot and his wife. Love Glen Coe 😍. Tiny hint. Glen is a valley in Scotland, so saying Glen Coe Valley is like saying Valley Coe Valley. But what was VERY impressive was your pronunciation of Loch Achtriochtan. 👏👏👏!!

[@aventuralina]

Ah thanks a lot for enlighten me about the word Glen! I totally didn’t know that 🙈😅 And thanks also for your compliment about my pronunciation of Loch Achtriochtan. To be honest I think I have about three out takes of that 😂 It’s a tough word for foreigners 😅

[@johnscot1]

@@aventuralina 😂😂. To be fair most Scots would probably have to have a few efforts too😅. Any mountain/place name that derives from the Gaelic language is a struggle for non Gaelic speaking Scots.

[@aventuralina]

@@johnscot1 makes me feel good to hear that to be honest 😅

Super drone video

[@aventuralina]

Thanks a lot ☺️

[@marellacoyle6999]

I have just found you here and I thoroughly enjoyed the footage, Glencoe is my home and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. A small point fyi .... we don't have lakes in Scotland (apart from Lake of Menteith) they are called Lochs or Lochans . I've just subscribed and will have a look at your back-catalogue. Happy days enjoy Scotland.

[@aventuralina]

Hey there! Thanks a lot for your feedback! I am very honoured to get such a positive feedback from someone from Scotland 🥰 Welcome to my channel 🫶🏼 Also thanks a lot for the correction! To be honest, I thought that Loch maybe means Lake 🙈 May I ask what is the difference between a Loch and a Lake? Is there some kind of definition? I’m always happy to learn and would definitely put that in a video the next time I’ll visit Scotland ☺️

[@martindornan1667]

​​​@@aventuralina Loch means Lake or sea inlet in Scottish and Irish Gaelic language. The word Loch is commonly used in Scotland and Ireland. In Irish it often appears in the anglicised form "Lough" but is pronounced the same as Loch. In Scotland there are about 31,460 freshwater Lochs and Lochans (a Lochan is a small Loch) and there are about 100 sea Lochs. Loch Ness has more freshwater than all the Lakes in England and Wales combined.

[@aventuralina]

You are right! Thanks a lot for correcting me here 🙈

[@williamwallace5857]

In Scotland a valley is known as a glen. Therefore if you say 'Glencoe Valley' what you're really saying is 'Valley Coe Valley.' The word 'valley' is superfluous.

[@aventuralina]

I totally didn’t know that so thanks a lot for educating me on this. I’ll keep it in mind for my next trip to Scotland 😁

[@garymacdonald7165]

You still have 90% of Scotland to visit, including all the Islands,but glad to see your enjoying it and your videos are very interesting!

Alinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! :) Wow gracias a tu video veo y aprendo.. Glencoe es hermoso y muy tranquilo.... cero ruidos (o usaste algun anulador de ruido ambiental?)... las vistas increibles... y las tomas de dron... las montañaaas el verde, creo que es una de las cosas que me atraen de escocia, las tomas aereas, los lugares y me gusta como muestras el lugar me parece super instructivo. me sorprende que no habia mucho viento. jaja ya investigue sobre la masacre, el jacobismo y glencoe la vverdad no lo conocia. gracias alinaaaaa que estes genial :)

[@aventuralina]

Muchísimas gracias a ti por tu feedback 🥰 In Glencoe de verdad no hay nada de ruido. Allí vive poca gente. Hay una carretera “grande” donde se encuentra más carros obviamente pero nada en comparación con una ciudad. Es muy tranquilo y muy bonito este lugar ☺️

[@brucecurtis6281]

Loving your enthusiasm, and your appreciation of our country, and I am impressed with your excellent English. Um, but, you are in Scotland where there is also the Gaelic language! Don’t worry, most English people have no clue what either. Your pronunciation of loch Achtriochan was near perfect. But it is not a lake. It is a loch. And allt is river. Ard is a promentary Strath is an estuary or wide glen. A glen is a glen, not a valley, Yup, it’s a new language for most, but it helps to know why Glenfinnan is a glen of ‘ finnan’, Loch Alsh, is loch aillse, or foaming water, ( due to its fast tidal flow,) etc. Each place name has been written down in english format, and is just a noise; a pretendy approximation of the true meaning in Gaelic. So a loch is a loch. The English call it a lake….or failing, call it a lock. Sorry to get nippy, and your productions are really good. Many coastal places are Norse words too. Hey, vikings already! Enjoy, enjoy. Good luck and good travels.

[@aventuralina]

Thank you so so much for your feedback! It really makes me happy to read such kind and positive words. And I also highly appreciate that you are educating me a bit in Gaelic. To be honest, I thought that Glen is the Gaelic word for valley and Loch the Gaelic word for lake 🙈 So I really appreciate your correction here as I’d love to return to Scotland and will teach my audience better in the future ☺️ By the way, I have about 3 outtakes of me pronouncing Loch Achtriochtan. That’s a really tough one 😅 I will definitely come back to Scotland to see more of the north as well! There’s still a lot to discover 😍

Thanks so much for the video! This is so helpful as we are going to visit Glencoe during Christmas. May I ask what drone you were using? I have a DJI mini 4 pro. Not sure if it can handle the gust in the Highlands.

[@aventuralina]

How exciting! It must be beautiful there in December 😍 I used the DJI mini 3 pro. Sometimes it was quite windy and i was surprised that the drone stayed so stable 😅 So with the 4 pro you won’t have any problems I think ☺️ Have a wonderful time in Glencoe!

[@bigaldo246]

When you were at Glenfinnan viaduct you could have driven 7 miles west to see Dumbledore’s grave on the island of Loch Ranochan. And if you time it correctly you can see “The Jacobite” train pass bye.

[@aventuralina]

I didn’t know about Dumbledore’s grave 😯 That’s for the next time! I’d love to come back! There’s so much more to see and I absolutely loved Scotland 😍 And yes, I saw the Jacobite train. That was the reason why I wanted to go to that bridge 🤩 It’s also in the video 😉

[@bigaldo246]

@@aventuralinayeah I’ve been enjoying your Scottish videos👍. When you come back if you go to see Dumbledores grave make sure you have some wellies with you! It’s a bit bogy. But it is better than the bridge, When you see the train go past the island, especially if the train has lots of steam it’s special.👍 I’m not a Potter fan but even I nearly had a tear run down lol. Keep up the good work with the videos.

[@MichaelYarde]

Did you have any issues flying the drone? Research I’ve done recently says it’s a no fly zone now :(

[@aventuralina]

Oh really? I didn’t have any problems at all 🤔 Might be that they have changed the laws by now. I was there last year in September and I was allowed to fly everywhere (except at the Hogwarts train. I missed the sign there and saw it only on my way back 🫣😅)

[@MichaelYarde]

@@aventuralina that’s the place I’m in about, Glenfinnan Viaduct, I’ve seen in our videos that it’s banned. Shame.

[@aventuralina]

@@MichaelYarde ah, okay 🥲 Well as I said, there was a sign that it’s not allowed way before you get to the bridge. I saw it only on the way back. If I had known it I wouldn’t have flown it because there are guards nearby and you never know… :/ So I’d not recommend it. Nothing pops up on the remote of the drone like it does for example when you’re close to the airport. But anyway, you’ll risk getting caught by the guards nearby 😓

You gotta do some sacrifice to get those shots 😜 But also, I wouldn’t say I missed out on anything. I saw the train since it was super close and I love flying my drone especially in locations like these. That’s an experience for itself 🤩 Enjoy this place! I hope you’ll have a wonderful trip 🤗

I saw these signs when I came back 🙈 I arrived later than I wanted and was a bit in a rush. So I wasn’t really paying much attention when going there. When I came back to the car I saw it. I guess I was lucky 🫣
