[@jb31842]

But the scenery didn't blow Kyde away...

[@kydeanderic]

You know, after the hike we did the day before and the less than ideal weather Isle of Skye didn't blow our minds as it should have, perhaps. I think in better weather it may have been a different story. -E

[@jb31842]

I think you missed the pun... the windiest place she'd ever been didn't blow her away...

[@kydeanderic]

Hahahaha, whoosh, blew right past me. Must be the wind in here. -E

[@sandalsspoon611]

How many more of videos of Scotland are yet to come?

[@andynixon2820]

I like you two . You're happy souls .

[@kydeanderic]

Thank you! -E

[@tracyg5890]

gosh i can't imagine how much more beautiful this place would be in the spring/summer when everything blooms. breathtaking

[@charlieanderson6599]

I live on the Isle of Skye and for me it’s definitely the best place it’s so beautiful, peaceful amazing views amazing people and so much more I seriously love living here

[@diegomontana7075]

You guys have the most beautiful smiles and excellent sense of humor. Thanks,,

[@TheBorderRyker]

Every time I watch your videos I just love your wonderful enthusiasm for life. Brilliant as always. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@kydeanderic]

Great to hear! Thanks so much! -E

[@patricialavender2902]

You really do the best videos. Just love you two, you really know how to make the most of life.

[@marycrossan9322]

Eric & Kyde been loving your trip around Scotland ,Eric & Kyde I do hope you both got a good feed after your treks across the mountain and Eric hope your ok after your fall. Phew!! Well done 👍 looking forward to catching up on your other trips around the world 💗💗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@SvenTviking]

9.27, the cottage behind your head was where I had the last holiday with my parents before my mother died.

[@Lysdexia]

A charming couple sharing the coolest videos with unbridled enthusiasm - delightful really.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much! -E

[@elleelle9381]

SCOTLAND IS GREAT, AMAZING and isle of Skye is Mystic I Love SCOTLAND. I come back in November 2018. Tx

[@MmostlyRandom]

My Aunt lives on Skye. it's an awesome place the Bridge was only opened in 1995

[@nobreyner60]

Even if you were face down you would still be staring at the Skye.

[@kydeanderic]

Haahahahaa

[@scottjustice8543]

That is what we in Scotland call a breeze.

[@gilmoyes2590]

Aye, a bit of a breeze.

[@bushchat28d]

Why are they wearing coats in that breeze??

[@decam5329]

Tsunamis in Japan a Scott would call 'brisk'.

[@tyronep22]

Best parts about this was that very big intro, man it's so nostalgic lol Kyde reminds me of the summer camp counselors I used to have back when I was a kid growing up. Just doing random fun things like that. This intro is like the after school T.V. You would have watched in the 90s. I was in Rhein Main Elementary in Rhein Main Gateway Gardens when I was a kid. It was a small school with the military and the best part was teachers like Kyde & Eric worked their just regular people who had just interest in teaching kids, some schooling but nothing too detailed as I learnt later in life. But it was just a fun experience a world when just being normal interested sociable and yourself was just fun. If wind can push E back you know that's some Serious PUSH. Magnetic Wind Pull. "Fairy Pools lol" great job you two, keep up the creative work. Twin Spirits.

[@johncalvert2232]

Before they built the bridge, (not all that long ago - or am I just getting old?) Kyle of Lochalsh was a ferry port. Nearly everyone and everything headed for Skye had to go on the ferry. That's why there's a pier there. There was (is?) also a ferry from a place called Uig to Mallaig.

[@kevza1978]

Scottish guy here. Fantastic videos, I've subscribed, and now watching through all your videos. Very enjoyable and funny. :D

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you are enjoying! Thanks for joining us here. -E

[@FalloutConspiracy]

That was some gnarly wind you guys encountered! And I agree with Eric, out of all of the names that have been given for islands, _The Isle of Skye_ has to be the coolest of them all!

[@Nomadic.A]

I need to go back and spend a week there. 2 rainy days was not enough. For anyone looking for last minute accommodation there is a facebook group called Skye Rooms. Lifesaver!!

[@Cupidssatan]

Watching your vlogs has made me appreciate my country more. I do love Scotland but it is easy to get fed up of it when you haven’t really got to visit any other countries, but you guys brought my love back❤️ thank you!

[@kydeanderic]

Wonderful to hear! -E

[@granthayes8423]

Alisha Fairbairn you Realy have to go explore some rural locations to Realy get a feel for how stunning our land is.

[@Cupidssatan]

Grant Hayes completely agree! I actually visited Mull recently and it was stunning, but really only somewhere I could spend a day or so❤️

[@granthayes8423]

Alisha Fairbairn awesome iv grew up in Aberdeen was lucky enough to live right on the coast in a place called Cove, summer time was amazing diving off the big cliffs Into water, moved to aviemore in the highlands got to know my way round up there Glen Affrick is stunning to go camping, I'd love to do what these 2 are doing trying to get right round each corner of The tartan land

[@Cupidssatan]

Grant Hayes that sounds awesome! I actually moved up to Perth from the Scottish Borders for uni and it’s been the best move I’ve ever made! It’s so much prettier and just overall a more amazing landscape! And don’t get me started on the water up here, it’s so much better!😂❤️

[@destrytosh]

I'm planning a 2 week trip to Scotland for next summer and was searching for videos of places to go... I stumbled across your Scotland videos, and I love them! You two are so enthusiastic and happy about everything, and it's awesome! Subscribed!!!

[@kydeanderic]

Awesome! Glad you found us! Enjoy your adventure! -E

[@racheltaylor6578]

The Quirang is really amazing near Portee

[@gmdhargreaves]

Amazing footage- you two are a great edition to You Tube you really are!!!!

[@fauxpastea4169]

I love those high winds. Sometimes you have to face away from it just so that you can breath.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea! It was intense! -E

[@JohnD640]

I saw a chicken lay the same egg three times!

[@chrisdado]

Was that the featherless one jammed in a tree fork?

[@twohelmets]

I hiked the whole length of Skye all along those peaks with full camping kit.

[@kydeanderic]

Amazing.

[@gyloir]

Another great video, thanks for the subtitles in the windy spots lol.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed !-E

[@caitlinveal5709]

😂 I bet you guys had some raw little faces after all that wind! Absolutely beautiful guys!

[@baronhoban]

when in portree you have to go up the lump next to the gathering hall i had some fun up there 25years ago

[@arkhitecture7437]

Looks like the boat is carrying wind turbine blades. Which are located off the east coast of scotland

[@jasonritchie8475]

This has gotta be the most fun I've ever seen you have on vacation hahaha 😂

[@clafenhagen]

In Ayrshire, Scotland, there is a hill that seems to make cars roll uphill

[@driftertravels928]

You should have checked out the Talisker distillery :)

[@crashbox7130]

Three minutes in looks like Duntulm Castle. Going back a good fifteen to twenty years ago I was on holiday on Skye and was visiting the castle on a very stormy day. A young couple had a very small child with them, and they struggled to keep hold of him to stop the wind taking him over the cliff. We were all squatting low just to reduce the affect of the wind as we desperately battled our way back to the car park. I'll never forget it.

[@kydeanderic]

Yikes!

[@johnhigson8952]

That weather was actually reasonable, besides the wind obviously, I can count the days I saw blue sky on Skye on one and a half hands. I love Skye, almost as much as I love Saint Andrews. Hope you're dry in the typhoon!

[@erichendrickson8319]

You should have gone to the Old Man of Storr. It was super windy when I was climbing it so you probably would have been blown off while trying to climb it. When the weather is nice Skye is awesome.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, we didn't go because of the wind and rain. -E

[@PastPresented]

You also missed the Fairy Glen at Uig ! And you didn't climb the Black Cuillin in sneakers ...

[@jonsmith8582]

I just hope you appreciate that you guys have a great life ! travel , scenery , your obvious love for each other , does it get any better ?

[@scottishbhoy1987]

Go to Dunnator castle east coast of Scotland. Beautiful castle I was there last week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sykode]

Correct those are blades of wind turbines, we saw one on the trailer of an 18 wheeler years ago, it was a longer trailer than normal and the blade still hung off the back 15-20 feet.

[@sandalsspoon611]

I’m going to Skye on Sunday, hopefully it will be less windy!

[@kydeanderic]

Hahaha, couldn't be more windy! Hahaa. =E

[@moneymayhem2000]

When you go, don't forget to visit the Old Man of Storr.. you know the rock featured in Prometheus and Game of Thrones

[@moneymayhem2000]

www.geekfill.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Old-Man-of-Stor.jpg

[@Scottishebikeadventures]

Excellent video 👍

[@Drdee1]

I'm so glad that Cafe Arriba is still going and still great! Surprised that you didn't find Dunvegan Castle

[@kydeanderic]

Long live Cafe Arriba! Such good food! -E

[@mleggieri801]

Gorton's fisherman fish sticks. Otherwise known as fish fingers in the UK. Love it!

[@bazzzzz6175]

Great stuff. I love Skye.

[@timdiggle5090]

If you guys like waterfalls then I recommend a trip to Iceland in the spring as the snow melts. I could, and did, stand watching the raging torrent of Gullfoss as if transfixed - probably more impressed by Gullfoss than I was by Victoria Falls in Zambia. There are plenty of other falls along the south coast - not such a volume, but a higher drop and, in one case, the wind was actually blowing the water back whence it came so that none of it actually made it to the bottom of the cliff. Well worth a short hop, either from UK or USA or even en route between the two, to Reykjavik (Iceland Air does some cheap fares between UK and USA via Iceland with the option of a short stay between flights).

[@kydeanderic]

Iceland is high on our list, but while it's close to the UK or USA we live in Japan and it's a bit of a hike. Haha! -E

[@marcod1600]

Very nice isle of Skye!

[@Raspsaysthewaffle]

This is a really lovely video. Yes those are the parts for the wind turbines and seeing them in action is pretty cool if you get a chance because they are goliaths! If you are lucky you’ll see the Hebrides during a storm. The wind pretty picks up even more and the sea smashes into the sea walls. The game is to run along the promenade before the wave gets you :P

[@MagratheaLegend]

Awesome, love it!

[@MissTeeFy]

If you watched Outlander you'd be familiar with the song "Over the sea to Skye". I recommend watching Outlander as you seem to have enjoyed Scotland.

[@dlawrence2052]

Just found your channel, you guys are the bomb. Strong videos, good editing, lots of useful info, And cute af. Looking forward to starting at the beginning. - Doug

[@kydeanderic]

There is a lot to watch! Enjoy! -E

[@G4RY1159]

Kyle of Lochalsh Nice part of Scotland and a place i hope you both had Fish & Chips

[@PHDarren]

Actually it's the same two little ponies, they just move them around for the tourists. :)

[@kydeanderic]

Hahaha

[@decam5329]

Shhhhhh. (Sorry, reporting you to the police for devulging state secrets.)

[@Parax77]

The best named island in Scotland is in Loch Ewe, you drove past it, and it is called the "Isle Of Ewe" you need to say it out loud to fully understand why it is the best name ever..

[@Yesica1993]

I see what you did there!

[@SvenTviking]

The old Inner London Education Authority owned a lodge on lock Ewe called Inverleiver, where I stayed in my teens. The road outside is “The Crow Road” from the Iain Banks novel.

[@MARKSTRINGFELLOW1]

If you have time try going to Arran they've got stone circles On the ferry you feel like your going to Kong island!

[@duncanmit5307]

💜💜💜💜💜💜 so windy.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, it was no joke!

[@whallee99]

You are right. Wind turbine wings. We just took a 1500 mile trip around the UK. We spent a couple days in Skye ourselves and we went as far south as London. We saw wind farms wherever we went, especially in England.

[@heresjohnny999]

there are far more turbines in Scotland, than England. 60% of the UK's wind resource is in Scotland.

[@PaulEcosse]

Very impressed with the windscreen on your mic. It works. 👍

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, considering the power of that wind it did great! -E

[@alanfindlater]

Did you guys miss Eilean Donan Castle a beautifull place, I live and still love to see the fantastic places in our country, and yea the wind is amazing at times, it blows away the cobwebs in your head for sure and leaves you knowing your alive.

[@kydeanderic]

We saw it on our way to Aberdeen! -E

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! -E

[@WhiteRoseAdventures]

Looks like such a beautiful place :) glad you had fun :)

[@charlieanderson6599]

The place you visit where the waterfall was on the cliff that was across the water was Glendale and is where I live best place on Skye in my opinion

[@charlieanderson6599]

The Scenery on Skye is like nowhere else in the world skye was voted the most beautiful place in Scotland

[@heresjohnny999]

now imagine winds much stronger than that, with temps about -15C on that mountain you climbed haha.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, which is why we were aware of the weather before we climbed it, hahaaa. -E

[@nigelmiller407]

Those rivers as you call them are called Burns not big enough to be called a river, It's a shame you didn't venture into the heart of the mountain range (Called the Cullins) because they are Scotlands answer to the Alps a very dramatic mountain range. Great entertaining video once again guys!

[@PresentingNic]

Nigel Miller I thought they were too big to be classed as burns? In fact I’ve never really ever thought about what would class a burn as a burn or a river as a river before.

[@nigelmiller407]

A Burn is a small stream, it depends on what you interpret a small stream to be.

[@PresentingNic]

Nigel Miller well I know, but it looks too big to be a stream/burn to me. It’s one of these google moments I think.

[@MeFreeBee]

Honestly, after watching the previous episode where they were so unprepared on their little mountain trek, I thought "I hope they don't venture into the Cullins, they might die!"

[@Sableagle]

www.skyemrt.org/callouts15.html www.google.com/images?q=Cuillin+ridge Probably a good idea *not* to wander up into those hills in February with inadequate gear, no maps, no compass, no experience and no filed plan.

[@phoenstv4022]

I love your videos u came to gargrave the village I LIVE THEIR

[@declanmcelhaney1677]

I stayed in Portree for 3 years lovely place and lovely people my fiancé family are from uig

[@mk6man452]

you should come to north wales for some beautiful country like snowdon you would love it....

[@susanmoniz6537]

I agree wings for wind power , was my first thought !!

[@PedroVonWorzelburger]

Another great video. So horrible for you two to go through what you did at the airport. Why do people lack empathy and caring? You would think a massive sign to get the "rubber stamp" would be above you before going into security. I love your enthusiasm for travelling guys! Again a very insightful video. Thumbs up!

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, a sign or if any of the people that had checked our documents had bothered to mention it. It's hard to comprehend, maybe we are just spoiled by service in Japan, I dunno. -E

[@gg41r]

On the subject of Wind Turbines. It is estimated that Scotland has 25% of the total European Wind Energy. Not only that, but we also have Wave energy too.

[@johnwalsh3635]

Wanted to hear you sing the song!

[@JohnD640]

Little or no infrastructure means the wind cuts! There are quite a few offshore wind-farms as at sea the wind can't dissipate. There's a big one off Rhyl in North Wales, you should see them spin!

[@bushchat28d]

That farm feeds into the National Grid I think at Meliden.

[@jeanpauldebaene]

I love both of you !! You are so happy, so funny and in a way so un-american.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks, but I'm not sure what is wrong with being American. -E

[@jonnno100]

Great video guys, very entertaining and interesting. Drowning in your own snot though Eric? TMI :-)

[@alexysq2660]

"Life on Skye"...as Kyde, so astutely, put it...! And, that wind up there is truly *"no joke* ...for real, yo" ({; D) ...!!! The sea, right there at the shoreline, as well; it's fairly deep...and somewhat rough, too! All of *that* aside, however...The Isle of Skye IS rather phenomenal, though...is it not?! ~Once again, brilliant video; thank you, both...!

[@gg41r]

Im not sure i agree with your statement about the Scenery on Skye...it is EPIC there!

[@kydeanderic]

To be fair we didn't have the greatest weather and we had just come from some beautiful days up on the Northern Coast so that was fresh in our minds. -E

[@biffbunion9997]

Did that woman at 15:30 say "Scotland feels like a cow pat...."?

[@kydeanderic]

I think she said "cow pasture." How'd she miss all the sheep? -E

[@heresjohnny999]

either that she meant the grass feels like a cow pat all time, cause its soft and wet haha

[@keandric2765]

Wow. Beautiful! Did you guys end up checking out any of the castles? :)

[@kydeanderic]

Not on Skye, nope.

[@roddysallie9861]

Can’t believe you did not go to the Neist Point Lighthouse⁉️ north/west

[@carolgibson2145]

Love you guys 😀 try living in Scotland lol

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Great video! Standing beside a 60 metre blade kind of reminds me of the monolith in "2001, a space odyssey " technology semi alien in design. If you can, visit a wind farm. Standing directly beneath one of those makes you feel so insignificant.

[@kydeanderic]

We'd love to meet with someone to show us around a windfarm! That'd be awesome. -E

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Kyde and Eric If you ever make it to Ireland, I'll bring you to a local one.

[@kydeanderic]

Hope to take you up on that! -E

[@wipeout2098]

Yeah, a wind turbine is basically like a 747 spinning on a stick. They're massive.

[@Tautolonaut]

I've stood under one of those when it randomly decided to switch itself on, no joke I screamed and dropped to the ground, I thought it was the end of the world! (I may have been a little high at the time)

[@craigyboy196]

Your right they are wings for a windmill for a wind farm

[@ryan1mcq]

Are you guys gonna go as far south as Oban? Thats a real nice place and you can take a ferry ride to the isle of Mull and go to Tobermory it is the most gorgeous little village :D

[@kydeanderic]

We didn't make it there this time! Sounds wonderful. -E

[@seamusc.530]

Once again love your stuff!!! Totally different from all the other vlogs......Keeping it real without all the garbage attached...It would be nice if you could get some of the locals involved in some way....... As a traveller of 66 years it's nice to see something refreshing and real... Now.....go to Conegliano and the Italian wine country, just North West of Venice...I know it well...Cheers !

[@kydeanderic]

More Italy is very much a place we dream of going! -E

[@kennethmclachlan9384]

wind turbine blades off loaded them within our port a few times

[@snakesocks]

The reason the turbine blades are so big is because there are more efficient that way. If you increase the blade length a small amount; the amount of power output increases a lot.

[@kydeanderic]

Why stop where they did? hahaa -E

[@peckelhaze6934]

They would shake themselves apart, and sometimes do. When they do go they can explode.

[@anonymes2884]

Yep, power captured roughly scales with the square of the blade length so double the length = four times the power. Not sure if Kyde and Eric saw one of the real monsters but last I checked the biggest blades were about 88 metres long (about 265 feet ?). There's a test site for big turbines off the other side of Scotland, near Fife.

[@Pogue4]

I knew it!!!! Peeing in the wild!!!! :)

[@G4RY1159]

Have you guys seen the Film BraveHeart ? A real MUST if you haven't

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, back when it came out. -E

[@MissTeeFy]

Sadly most of that was filmed in Ireland. Watch Outlander, filmed in Scotland.

[@G4RY1159]

MissTeeFy It's just a film

[@MissTeeFy]

Yes it is.

[@G4RY1159]

MissTeeFy LOL

[@jamesbrunton9507]

I slipped and fell on my ass just after the wooden gate in the place where you started your video. Did you see the Old Man of Storr and Kilt rock? I expected to see these pop up somewhere.

[@kydeanderic]

We didn't hit everything in some of the higher or areas away from the road b/c we weren't in the best weather during out couple of days there. -E

[@Jadeontwowheels]

I was here just over a month ago!! Such a beautiful little place (^_^) if you can, hire motorcycles to tour the Highlands. There's nothing better.

[@kydeanderic]

Sounds amazing! -E

[@StephenHitchens]

Yeh they're the blades for wind turbines. Wind power is big in the UK. We sometimes get 25%of our energy in the UK from renewable power like solar, wind, and hydro.

[@bushchat28d]

Sorry no - at best its 15% - but 15% of a lot is still a lot :-)

[@The3ringer3]

enjoyed

[@kydeanderic]

Glad to hear! -E

[@dannydorko7075]

You guys are pretty flye.

[@Cruithneach]

Did you manage to get to The Old Man of Storr? That's the quintessential Skye image. The Cuillins, seen at the right point, are stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful. It's a pity it wasn't a wee bit sunnier for you, as you'd have witnessed a veritably picturesque landscape

[@kydeanderic]

We considered it but were worried about the weather. -E

[@Cruithneach]

Understood!

[@Offensive_Username]

Fish-thing-guy is Captain Birdseye/Captain Iglo?

Are you talking about Gorton the fish stick guy?

[@kevintravis7549]

Kite surfing would be great.

[@dalecoleman8852]

Not many trees on Isle of Skye! Not easy to take root I would guess?

[@iTadakimAsu85]

Kyde was thinking of Gordon's fishsticks lol so 90s.

[@peckelhaze6934]

Eric, you're navigating roundabouts like a Brit. To feel the wind you can understand why the build windfarms in the area. Shetland ponies always have a sad look, they look totally fed up.

[@halcroj]

I keep waiting for you to get bitten by one of those ponies. Shetland ponies have a terrible reputation for bad tember.

[@kydeanderic]

They are done with the wind.

[@kydeanderic]

Hahaha, they were darlings! -E
