beautiful stadiums in Scotland I love football in Scotland greetings from Mexico

Hope you enjoyed speaking to my father-in-law, Brian. The guys a legend. Very friendly and accommodating. Great man.

[@FootyAdventures]

Yeah, what a legend he was! Please say hello from me!

[@andyallan2909]

The Buccaneer at the service station in Elgin is a reminder that the RAF station at Lossiemouth used to be a RNAS base (Royal Navy Air Station).

[@FootyAdventures]

Cool, thanks for letting me know!

[@biglads4tw]

@@FootyAdventures The service station is also a good place for cheap whisky

[@stevenroper2754]

The dolphin emblem at Nairn County might have something to do with the Moray Firth, the stretch of coast where Nairn is located. Dolphins are regularly seen in the Firth, I've seen them myself from Fort George, not a million miles from Nairn, (but Chanonry Point is the best place to see them).

[@michaelbond7096]

SAM, I think I enjoy these types of vids as much as you do. Being American and not having the funds to travel you're videos are absolute class. If you have the chance and means I'd love to see any sides that are located in the Deeside area . Thanks in advance and keep up the the great job.

[@UncleJun50]

Been buzzing for this one! Forres Mechanics have a brilliant ground, love that stand

[@FootyAdventures]

Yeah it's a great ground! Cheers for watching!!

[@alanfox691]

Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland When you where in Forris You should of visited Logie Park home of Forris Thistle the other football club in Forris. When Pollok played them they Where in Junior Football Playing in The North Region Junior League system. Personally I love these kind of vlogs when you just rock up at grounds as The Americans would say & chance your arm if you can get in to the ground or not. Keep Safe.

[@FootyAdventures]

@@alanfox691 I'll definitely go there next time! Glad you enjoy these kind of videos 👍😊

[@alanfox691]

@@FootyAdventures It's amazing how a place like Forres just the the size of it can support two football clubs not like we are talking a city the size of Glasgow or Edinburgh here.

[@FootyAdventures]

@@alanfox691 so true the same could be said for irvine and I'm sure there's some other towns that have two teams but are quite small. Can't think off the top of my head but I'm sure you know a few!

[@eggman081979]

Sam, you have so much knowledge and passion in your work that it makes us all appreciate football no matter where it is played. Keep up the excellent work.

Cheers Greg!

Forres Mechanics my favorite stadium so far, please make a full video there!

[@FootyAdventures]

Yeah I'll need to do a full Forres vid when I go back!!

[@123scotyboy]

Great video mate 👌🏻 love these highland grounds ❤️💙

[@RossParker1877]

Top notch as always! Love staying overnight at Lossiemouth when Clyde are up at Elgin. Forres Mechanics was my first ever Highland League ground. Went up to Ross County but it was called off! There's another spitfire in Grangemouth if you were out that way doing a vid on Falkirk, Bo'ness or Lithgae Rose. Keep the top quality content coming, can't wait for part 2!

[@adamg94]

These vids are so much better than the bigger teams! These clubs need exposure at the ending of this pandemic

[@thecountyareshite6307]

I love to see how instreststed you are about the stadiums and highland football as a whole, you have earned yourself a sub mate 👍👊

[@FootyAdventures]

Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel :)

[@grantyoung394]

Class video again mate. Love to see you back In Scotland as well lad. Can tell you that you will love the atmosphere at the games when fans are aloud again. Would recommend trying to get to a Edinburgh derby

[@basher0808]

I work in a bookies, I had a random guy come in and we had a long talk about stadiums and then recommended me your channel! Little did he know I was already subscribed and we had a good chat about how good your content is!

[@FootyAdventures]

Oh wow, good to hear that! Thanks very much to you both

[@robbichan4810]

Yessss, the can cans, played for them through the youth academy then to ross county and back to mechanics. So cool seeing these places i know so well on the channel

[@iFivesFootball]

Another quality video, thanks for sharing and visiting the highlands, your videos are class.

[@FootyAdventures]

Cheers mate! Highland Groundhopping P2 coming soon!

[@DavidUKesb]

My two most favourite grounds in Scotland are Albion Rovers and Queen of the South. Both an old school throwback to the past.

[@connor6691]

I love how welcoming these Scottish clubs are! Also think Forres Mechanics stadium might be my new favourite just ahead of Brechin City

[@FootyAdventures]

Yeah they're the best!!!

Thanks again Sam brilliant as always number one channel on KZbin.

[@raymondporter2094]

Just watched your Ross County video where you arrived just before Christmas but didn't get in. It might sound odd (like supporting Hartlepool whilst also having a sweet spot for Darlington) but I quite like ICT at the same time as REALLY liking Ross County. Love Dingwall and will be going up there en route to Ullapool again in about 2 months time. Used regularly to stay on the caravan site which is directly next to Victoria Park (which is also the name of Hartlepool's ground). I enjoyed your video of North Yorkshire clubs and Marske is only a few miles from where I previously lived on Teesside. I saw your video visiting Boro (which you seemed to enjoy). ST holder there.... Keep the videos coming!

[@finnairn3801]

Great content! Derek is a great guy at Station Park. Next time we will show you around inside!

[@FootyAdventures]

Amazing thanks! I'll be back up for next season!!

[@boxyfella]

Just found this channel. Love it. You've got to get over to Fort William - such a spectacular setting for a ground. I went to a match there once, I was able to just walk right in and pick my spot. I felt so guilty I went back out and went up to the guy on a gate and paid my money. After all, these clubs need every penny they can get.

[@adamcran9859]

Great job my good friend ❤️👍🏻

[@joshquinn4964]

This makes me want to go to uni in the highlands. Lots of great football clubs. Great video Sam. A few suggestions for you: Fort William Banks o' Dee Port of Glasgow FC Spennymoor Town

Lossiemouth actually won the North of Scotland Cup in 1995 v Fort William in the final at Forres (I should know I was there)

[@jamesstewart5067]

Iain Stewart (no relation) was a goal machine in the Highland League for Lossie. He moved to Inverness during their initial move to the Scottish League, I think for £30 k. He would later manage Peterhead.

[@leenisp8nis909]

Fun fact, they actually pulled that plane from RAF lossiemouth to the petrol station over 2 nights down the main road.. also the plane is a buchaneer I believe which is also what the petrol station is called

[@blythmitchell5682]

Was towed down from RAF Lossiemouth in 1994 when the Buccaneers were retired from Service and replaced by the Tornado.

The Moray Firth is a common place to see dolphins so I guess that's why Nairn choose the dolphin. I remember coming to a Nairn-wick game probably 10 years back and sitting on that grass bank on a gorgeous sunny day.

When I was cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats I passed Dingwall there just happened to be a match on Ross County Vs St Mirren an evening game, in the Scottish cup well it would be rude not to right!

The jet is there as RAF Lossiemouth is just round the corner

[@ramsfanyt8227]

Little known fact that the capacity of Ross County is greater than the population of the town its located in (Dingwall). Also its the Scottish team I support due to being a small underdog team that is so remote and we both have County in the name I suppose. Just didn't want to support one of the bigger clubs so chose the Staggies.

Excellent video. Just don’t confuse a northerly latitude with the Highlands. You didn’t get into the Highlands until you were a few miles west of Forres. Strangely, the majority of clubs in the Highland League are in the north-east but fair play to the Highlandmen, they thought of it first.
