I Found a Fantastic SCOTTISH FISH AND CHIP SHOP Driving from John O'Groats to Lands End in my EV.

[@lucifermorningstar4606]

I have literally watched every video you have made for well over a year... The filmography, the sound quality and the editing is 10 out of 10... But that isn't the only reason you are so great.... It is your personality... That gets 11 out of 10! Keep up the great work!

[@davidnm21]

I agree👍

[@ctm1602]

Agreed 100%

[@trendingsoftware]

Great concept Lee to combine travel, food and EV to some interesting places. I love the little towns you visit and what kind of hotels you end up in. Keep 'em coming. Cheers Phil

[@TheMacMaster]

Thanks Phil :0)

[@iandmcneill]

Cheaper than a petrol/diesel car but probably same as the bus. You're right - things are not ready, sadly. Great insight - thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@iainferguson764]

Was watching another channel, RSymonds who specialise in EV's, mainly Tesla. He did a John O Groats to Landsend in record time vlog, worth checking out. He said its a waste to charge car to 100% all the time. Above 80% it slows down the charge so might as well get going rather than wait. Also best not to let it drop below 10% as initial charging will be slower also. Why do you call it a bathroom break lol we are not in the US.

[@michaelgutman4910]

Scottish fish and chips with no skin on the Haddock. Brilliant 🐟🍟

[@alisonengland3027]

Scottish fish and chips are the best. Try the battered white pudding excellent

[@melvyndackombe7352]

I can see the fun when someone pulls in before you after you have waited for a vacant charger.

[@bigmatt2896]

hhmmm i may park my V8 jaaaaaaaaag in one of these silly electric charging points to anger the masses :)

[@davidnm21]

Another great travel vlog Lee. I love Pitlochry it’s a beautiful stunning place up there in the Highlands. Have stayed at a self catering cottage and a hotel there, however I cannot remember McKays fish & chips. It really is a laborious job recharging electric cars you must be so tired off it. Anyway keep up the good work and I look forward to the next one👌😉

[@Stinkymole]

16 notes for that fish and chips meal, wowsers! Even if it was good quality, that is pricey!

[@junemccann5981]

Beautiful fish and chips in a beautiful place. It's been scorching this week in Glasgow Lee! Those ev chargers are a problem wherever you go Lee. Too much stress. Have a lovely weekend. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx

What a farce with the chargers, I dont know how you put up with it all !!! Pitlochry is gorgeous, the areas around there just magnificent. Take care xx

[@Lochayetheview]

Ther next time you are in Scotland, there is a Chip Shop in Kirkcaldy called Valentes, they have been in business for over 100 years, they even have their outlet on a brown sign. It is on Overton Road. Ask for a Breaded Icelandic Boneless Haddock, they make their own curry sauce as well. They do their own Ice cream too. Absolutely amazing chippy.

[@Mieke3133]

Not many tourists in Kirkcaldy

[@palace1439]

Pitlochry is lovely. Salmon ladder, Edradour distillery and a fantastic butchers up a side street. You should have parked at the theatre Lee.

[@kinross24]

John o Groats to Perth ionity chargers is only 230 miles. Easily managed on without stopping! Plus, when you arrive with low charge you’ll get much faster charging speeds to 80%!

[@edwardbennett2072]

Your a brave man getting an E V Lee all they do,is cost you time and inconvenience !But hope you get through it all ok best of luck mate 🤞

Lee! Did you not notice you was given two pieces of fish? you lucky devil!😋

[@chrisevans1731]

Haha...you made it. Now just imagine that journey north when the weather really is crap. The A9 between Perth and Inverness and from Inverness north can be remote and desolate during the winter....I used to commute up/down that road every Friday and Sunday evenings for 3 years. Whilst talking about weather....this part of the world isn't always as cold as you make out in this video. Awesome fish and chip shop in Beauly the last time I was there. The Ralia "services" is a handy stop. Charging for the toilet is new to me...used to be free and open 24 hours but this has obviously changed. (If you have to pay 10 bob to go then you might as well make it worth while and have a 💩 as well😉). Journey back south to Lands End should be easier because it's all downhill from John O'Groats😉😂 Thanks for another great vid👍

[@lesliecarter8322]

Another great vlog Lee. Fish and chips looked very good, fresh and quality food. 9 from me. As for the car chargers, rate them 3. They have no future, so many maintenance issues. Onwards !!! I actually did the drive Scotland to Cornwall in 1997 in a VW Polo ! lol. Been to Pitlochry, lovely little town. You should have prebooked your hotels on the way, sleeping in the car is not a proper sleep.

Charging time compared to filling up a petrol/diesel car is a no brainer. Hours as opposed to minutes ! Enjoying the fact that you are proving that the vehicles are ready for use BUT the infrastructure IS NOT. x

[@geoff72]

[@richardgelber2740]

Love your videos, along with the commentary, and nice production values with the editing and all. This EV rigamarole would drive me nuts here in the U.S. I have some friends who have them but use them locally or to the train station, etc. We're well behind you here in terms of public EV charger availability. I'm old enough and set in my ways not to be much interested in multiple kinds of EV chargers & software, etc. I'm retired but I already feel as if I work for my cellphone (mobile). All gas (petrol) pumps work the same and I've been driving for over 50 years. Planning ahead in order to drive 250 miles to Boston (for example) if the need should suddenly arise? No thank you. I'm a bit familiar with the terrain you covered; did some driving north of Edinburgh many years ago, but not nearly as far as Aberdeen, not to mention John O'Groats. I think my next car could be a hybrid, but that's as far as I might go... currently still managing with a 15-year-old Toyota (petrol only). Re fish & chips: Looked very nice, but like most Yanks I would decline the mushy peas and curry sauce and look for tartar sauce for the fish and ketchup for the chips. Ever have both ketchup AND vinegar on the chips? Very nice to my taste.

[@flybobbie1449]

In lockdown i did Brum to Lands End via the west coast and back M5. Two days, 650 miles, one tank of fuel in Berlingo. At the time about 55 quid. Weather was gorgeous, through all the villages i passed through never saw any children playing out in the sunshine. What a sad state of affairs.

[@sarakirk9542]

Hi Lee! Enjoyed that! The food was miles better than at the hotel! Trump Turrnberry - take note of how to make better fish and chips and it not cost the earth either. I bet if you ordered sticky toffee pudding you’d get the right one there and wouldn’t get doubled tipped either. Nor did the chips have black bits on them. This is what I am afraid of about chargers! Not enough of them out there and are they even working when reach them. I am waiting on a new car which could take 6-9 months waiting list . I’ve gone straight with diesel again as just don’t want the hassle of that stress you go through to charge up everywhere. Been to Abington services so many times now. That’s our stopping point when going to and from Scotland. Take care 😘👍🏻

[@weemark67]

Pitlochry wouldn’t be my stop off, for fish n chips, lovely area have stayed in couple of the hotels there. Need to learn how to pronounce McKays, rhymes with eye. Any, it looked well tasty. Only gripe, you discarded the lemon for the fish and there homemade tartare sauce. Looking forward to next video. Pity your not touring Scotland to do a fish n chips tour. Safe driving

[@malcolmcollett4705]

Another great video, looking forward to the next one, Thank You

[@garymcatear822]

I have seen quite a few reactors like you mate coming to Scotland and trying the fish n chips, however not one of you have ever tried the Scottish 'special fish supper', it's a couple a quid more expensive and it's coated in breadcrumbs not batter. The vibrant orange breadcrumbs against the virgin white fresh fish is a sight to behold lol

[@Ritchiemac]

That fish and chips looked delicious 10 /10! glad you liked Pitlochry its a lovely place for a few days holiday. You looked shattered at the end.👍

[@AJ-sv5qg]

A fish and chip review. That's a first, next you must do a full English breakfast which is also rare amongst food reviewers

Ive noticed that in Scotland you usually get 2 fish. You shouldve got a room in Pitlochry, theres a few nice hotels there.

10/10 those fish and chips look lush.

Danny from 'Rate My Takeaway' is on a US Tour sponsored by Parliament brand cigarettes. He rated the airline's food at the bar in the First Class section of Virgin Airlines. He took his foldable chair and table to New York and he went to Joe's Pizza in New York and had three huge different slices of pizza. One was a white pizza. You should watch the video where he went to the expensive steakhouse, Heliot's and travelled on Virgin Airlines, 'BIG Surprise for the CAMERAMAN' and the one today with him at Joe's Pizza.

If that fish was one portion that's the best looking one I've seen you order.

[@tonymoreton7166]

I always 'plan my journey'. I park my arse in the driver's seat & set off where I want to go. When the yellow light comes on telling me I've got 60 miles left, I pull into the next service station & fill up in 3.87 minutes. Then repeat. and repeat. Until my arse is parked at my destination with a beer & fish & chips. Keep up the good work, explaining why our politicians haven't got a Scooby's.

[@labw7253]

The fish and chips looked wonderful, 9/10. I'm glad that the charging was free though because the inconvenience isn't worth it for a few pounds saving. Free charging however, that's a big plus.

[@michellekingy1380]

Hi Lee, I fondly remember Lands End from my trip a few years ago. I would have loved to go to the lighthouse, but I have no idea if this is even possible. Always wanted to know more about it. The sea is so beautiful and wild. Please give us a few minutes of sea views with the lighthouse once you get there. Greetings from Vienna

Wow wowee, the winge soliloquy has partially abated but I will be watchin'for unexpected events to spice up yer travels in the TOYCAN Electro Conveyance. FYI on the trip up the coast to John O'Groats I spotted Nessie in the loch opposite a roadside stop.

[@HelenDemetriou]

Watching the stress you've had with your electric car confirms to me that I wouldn't want one lol Imagine being a woman and wanting to drive long distance and having to charge your car somewhere at night and having to wait all that time? Dangerous. Loving these videos, too. Loved the Trump hotel, also :) Thank you. Love from Cyprus :) xxx

Hey hun them fish and chips looks amazing. Chips looks fabulous so does fish and lovely and crispy fish is perfect and white xmy score is a 10 out of 10 from me xxx

[@camwhitman5425]

That’s some proper fish & chips. Good man, selecting Haddock. That’s my favorite. Used to live in London and traveled all over the UK and Scotland. We couldn’t get Haddock in California for me to make fish & chips at home, so was forced to use cod. Here in beautiful Iowa where I moved to last year, escaping Silicon Valley and California, haddock is readily available here, so I’ve been making the best fish & chips at home.

[@EvilSie]

Great to see Pitlochry, used to spend a lot of time there every October half term as my folks had a timeshare in the area. Sad to say I think I even recognise the car park you were in (didn't have electric charging points back in those days though). If you're ever in the area again the House of Bruar is worth a visit

I've never had to wait as long as 20 minutes to use a petrol pump. I once had to wait a quarter of an hour at a rural filling station in deepest rural South Africa but then the owner did have to nip off on his bicycle to find his assistant who had locked the pump and nipped off with the keys......

So much in this video, where to start... OK, for the Porche, does it drive nicely? The charge station situation makes me think twice, to be sure. As for the FnCs, looks freakin amazing!! I've had them in London and Dublin, but here in the US, we have a much tougher problem getting decent FnCs. Mostly the good places last a few years, then they close- Very upsetting. The best version I've is in the US, where I had the pleasure of enjoying, in a kiosk at Disney World's Epcot Center next to the lake. Sad really.. The best ever, in Leicester Square, don't remember the name of the place, but yeah, I envy you sir, you have access to the real deal👍👍 sorry for the long winded comment.. Lol

Tesla supercharger is open for you to use at Aviemore and it’s an ultra rapid speed v the 50kwh CPS units. Kingussie is a nice stop. Nae Limits Cafe has rapid Osprey units but realistically you could’ve easily made it to Ionity Perth without stopping!

MacMaster, is it ever worthwhile to take a small charge, drive on, then stop where there is a higher capacity charger? Is there some sort of website that rates stations by charging speed and other amenities? In US and Canada there is a website called gas buddy that shows prices, but there should be no problem getting customers to phone in charging speeds well.
