Thank you for all your efforts. Did you / will you be visiting the Southwest of England?

[@kydeanderic]

Not on this trip, but maybe someday! -E

[@funkfreeze]

Kyde and Eric you should do a final 'country review / summary' vid where it's just the two of you talking about your take on a place before and after visiting. Great videos, very relaxing to watch. I'm a new sub.

[@JagerScot-01]

FUCKIN LOCCCCCHHHHHHHH.

[@youweechube]

wow im so excited that theres going to be videos from "Italy, Croatia and Greece" !!! i had no idea where you guys had been and kinda thought this might be the end of the Europe series. Been to a fair bit of Italy but not the other places, looking forward to seeing your adventures !

[@ballconei4879]

I was only looking for reactions of Americans eating British food little did I know that I was about to come across what I now consider the best videos and the nicest couple on KZbin.

[@kydeanderic]

Happy you found us and are enjoying! -E

[@halcroj]

Ditto!

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

Ballconei Oh man, check out their channel... these guys have traveled the world! I absolutely love living vicariously through K and E!

[@THX_1138]

I stumbled across this youtube channel not long after you posted your first UK video. I've been following it religiously ever since. I love the length and pacing of your videos; they're not rushed, so there's enough time to get a real feel for each area that you visit. I must admit that I feel rather sad to see you go (especially with such an unpleasant ending to your UK experience), but no doubt you will have many exciting new adventures in Italy. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you. It was a blast!

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the series! -E

[@alexysq2660]

**THX1138PR* ~Yeah, i felt very much the same way...!

[@wipeout2098]

If you like the "lock at the Loch" then you'll love knowing the canal goes to Loch Lochy where there's a "Loch Lochy lock." :D

[@ianbaxter431]

It would work if the 'ch' in Loch was pronounced like a 'k', but as it isn't then it doesn't really work. :p

[@alexysq2660]

**ianbaxter431* ~Oh, but now, Dear...it's *close enough,* it is ({; D ...!

[@misery13666]

Your regular viewers know you don't usually complain like this. At worst you joke about bad situations, so this had to be on a new level. I tweeted ryanair and included a link and timestamp so they get the picture of what their system is doing to their customers.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, it was pretty awful. Honestly I still get angry thinking about that week, hahahaha. Ryanair is totally aware, I think it's a system in place by design to bump people off overbooked flights. -E

[@heresjohnny999]

Not just Ryanair either, a lot of them do it.

[@SteveScottRacing]

Thank you for visiting Scotland. Having travelled the country several years ago doing forest regeneration work, your videos have brought back many good memories of the highlands. Amazing how nice the place is outside the cities.

[@kydeanderic]

The wilderness is amazing! -E

[@halcroj]

Apart from Skye, I thought you were incredibly lucky with sunny days for much of your trip round the north of Scotland. Really does show the countryside off to best effect. Also delighted that you liked your Rowies in Aberdeen, though you should really have taken them to where ever you were staying, warmed them up, spread them with lashings of butter and then marmalade. A dish made in heaven!!! We live in London now. You've just made me want to go back to Aberdeen. Just for the rowies!!

[@Aiden-qf7oc]

As a fellow Scot, it’s sad to see this short series end but hope to see you back!

[@caitandrews533]

"It's not our responsibility to tell you how long the canal is" hahaha xD

[@kydeanderic]

HAHA

[@martindornan1667]

Kyde and Eric The Caledonian Canal is 60 miles long from Fort William to Inverness. Only one third of the entire length is man made, the rest being formed by loch Dochfour, loch Ness, loch Oich and loch Lochy. These lochs are located in the Great Glenn a geological fault in the earth's crust. The Caledonian canal was opened in 1822. It was built as a shorter and safer route between East and West of Scotland.

[@langdale55]

Great video guys. Love your positive spirits. Sorry for the service problems when in Scotland. I’m going to share the last 15 minutes with my colleagues in the Scottish tourism industry. Please accept our apologies for any distress caused. Slainje!

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks for the understanding! -E

[@pozzo6828]

I was enchanted by Scotland... and UK in general, through your lense. It is easy to see why some of these places inspired great poets and painters. Stunning, stunning landscapes. Personally, I could live with the food, no prob. considering the nature was beautiful as it was. Thank you for this series. Grade A.

[@kydeanderic]

It truly is beautiful. -E

[@pulchralutetia]

Your videos are better than TV!!!

[@kydeanderic]

Not sure if that's a very high bar to clear, haaha. But thanks! -E

[@debdobdoornob]

As I Scot myself I’ve really enjoyed watching your journey round Scotland, especially seeing you guys try things that seem so normal to me! Hope the crappy ending doesn’t taint your overall experience and view of Scotland. I’m now subscribed to check out what you get up to next! 😁

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you enjoyed them! -E

[@msminicooper2010]

Ya know, Ryanair really isn't an airline. It's just 100,000 parts flying in formation. :))))

[@sueellenturscak8196]

Everything you post is so lovely and often delightfully challenging! I love how you two are so synced and able to deal with the challenges of travel. I also love the thriftiness! We are just starting to travel, and your vlogs have been so inspiring! Even when things do not work out, you have a great attitude, and lots of alternative things to do. Great inspiration! My dude is also very tall, so it's fun to watch Eric navigate places where tall people have challenges. We often look at your vlogs before we venture to various destinations. Loved the Croatia series. Our experience there was very similar, and it was fun to watch your vlogs and relate. Our favorite things in Croatia were the walnut brandy and the burek for, like, a dollar - spinach and cheese, or some yummy meat, in delicious pastry, available pretty much everywhere. Yeah, we also didn't like the rum and the so-called "licorice" rakija. (I think we might have bought the same set of small bottles that you had.) Honey and walnut were the best, and we had those almost every night at the cafes along Tkalčićeva. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experiences! Looking forward to exploring Scotland based on your experiences!

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Enjoy your adventures! -E

[@zorrozorro42]

Stick a couple butteries bottom-up under the grill 'til they're just beginning to crisp, then flip them & do the same to the flat side. Then remove and spread with raspberry jam. Be careful because the lard makes it very hot when grilled. The taste is outstanding. If you must eat them cold then do it with slightly salted butter spread thinly on the flat side.

[@sparkysno1570]

Loved all your videos about Scotland . Hope you enjoyed and will visit again:) cool couple.

[@theoutdoorappreciationsoci8858]

The stone circle was a recumbent stone circle guys (an interesting google). I live a stones throw away from Stonehenge and I'm very fascinated by stone circles and the Neolithic era in general . The recumbent stone circle is a Scottish peculiarity though and very interesting.

[@scorpionige]

Guys, what I love about you is your genuine, warm and honest demeanor throughout your travels. You smile and laugh so much, but are absolutely confident enough to talk about the occasional disappointments that you encounter. I am sensing that the Ryanair fiasco and shocking Airbnb host were the tip of the iceberg and that your last week in the UK was a huge disappointment for you. All I can say is that I've loved watching your videos of your time in the UK, and I'm sure that I speak for many people here who feel very sad indeed that the visit didn't end as well as it should due to frankly inexcusable and unacceptable behaviour that was completely preventable. I hope that your memories of the trip as a whole are much happier, and that you come back soon and visit other amazing parts of the UK, as you will be so welcome, I promise!. Love & peace xx.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much for the understanding! And you are right, the things we detailed were not the entire picture, it'd take ours to explain everything hahaa. -E

[@lynngascon8799]

Hi guys, I love that you made me enjoy this new adventure with you, the good and the bad. It was nice to learn about the ugly side as well as the fun, fabulous sites and foods.

[@gasperkosmac7672]

Scotland’s landscape is just surreal, it’s like nowhere else, at least not on the continental Europe. Maybe Iceland or New Zealand come close AFAIK.

[@bikeyspice]

You guys deserve the biggest hug ever after your experience with Ryan Air

[@JohnSmith-pq7vn]

Hi Guys. I have loved watching your travel vlogs and seeing how you both have a great sense of fun and adventure wherever you go. I am Scottish, and I have to say that I totally share your frustration and disappointment with the situation you found yourselves in at the end of your stay. I actually think you were very understated about your problems. Ryanair, well I'll never understand why they are still in business. It's not news that they are a bunch of crooks. Edinburgh airport staff however are equally to blame, if not more so. "It's not my resposibility", oh yeah. Then don't complain when you have to deal with an airport full of angry frustrated travellers who you could easily have helped but chose not too. These people deserve to have passengers shouting at them. Make it your responsibility or suffer the fallout. If your not part of the solution, then your part of the problem. All they have to do is say, "Ryanair, get your shit together or piss off and stop giving us all a bad name". You have of course hit the nail on the head by realising that this is their chosen way of getting people off overbooked flights. Totally unacceptable. Hope you have a great time onward travelling, and the whole of the UK would love to see you back soon, Ok maybe minus one torn face old airbnb cow! (Could you not take her with you to Italy... sorry Italy!) P.s. If you have had a bad stay in a hotel etc, please name and shame, only then will they maybe make an effort to improve!?

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks for understanding. We don't mind mentioning a bad business name, but we'd never mention the name of an individual in a way they could be ID'ed, of course so we will have to keep our Airbnb host experience to ourselves. Haha. -E

Great video guys,come back to Glasgow.Btw Irn Bru is mostly used by Glaswegians to treat a hangover and it works! :-)

[@martynadams2011]

So pleased you guys finally got to Venice to continue your journey. I hope you are not planning to fly Ryanair any time soon? my last (as in final) Ryanair experience was a flight from Bari back to UK - I’ll just say it took me 19 hours! So sorry you had to experience this sh*t

[@kydeanderic]

Haha, yea, they will be avoided.

[@tonymarshall3978]

the best thing for a buttery is if its from a packet you should toast it but if its from a bakery have it cold with tea or coffee

[@timrogers7693]

Oh man.. that ending is so hard to listen too. The Highlands is my home so it upsets me to hear that you had a hard time towards the end of your trip. I solo-traveled around the the globe through the 80's and 90's so know how one mean-spirited person can ruin an adventure and conversely how one one act of kindness can stay with you forever. I think people in the service industry here are often low paid and generally uninterested - especially in bigger businesses but there is also a Scottish dourness- particularly in Aberdeenshire that can be hard to breakthrough (and plenty of friends from there will acknowledge that) which comes across as hard-faced cynicism. Even now it throws me when I encounter it.. Of course it evaporates as soon as you get to know the person - at least usually! Crazy Airbnb hosts? There ain't no accounting for that shit!

[@nmccutcheon2243]

This was wonderful! I don’t know why, but I’m utterly fascinated by Scotland!!!!

[@kydeanderic]

It's got some magical bits for sure! -E

[@vaspetrol]

Hey you dudes, so sorry to hear about the trouble you had at the airport, it's gonna take me ages to get through all your videos but I'm loving them . Much love to you Guys 😊😊

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you found us and are enjoying! -E

[@33Crazydude]

I really enjoyed your final video, thank you for the upload. Out of curiosity, did you guys get the chance to visit Glencoe, fort William and places like Lochaber? Oh boy, those place are awesome.

[@kydeanderic]

Nope, didn't get a chance! Too much to visit, not enough time! -E

[@markgrice8088]

You 2 guys crack me up, love your interaction..we can feel the love

[@chrisb8756]

Hi Kyde and Eric. Discovered your videos by accident, but have been watching these avidly since. I'm really enjoying these, but sorry to see you had so much stress on this one. Look forward to watching more. I live in York (UK) by the way, but if I ever see you in the street and stop for a chat, I won't be offering you anything of that nature! Good luck! Chris!

[@kydeanderic]

Hahaha, thanks Chris! -E

[@AnimeStarwind]

First off I want to say that cornflakes with banana’s is amazing! Lol secondly, a Kelpie is a Scottish water spirit that usually takes the form of a gore, but can also take the form of a human. They usually appear around lochs and pools around Scotland. I really loved this Scotland series, but now I’m excited to see your travels through Italy!

[@kydeanderic]

Excited to share Italy! -E

[@YourNewAesthetic88]

Hi guys. Started watching your videos after the Edinburgh episode and have since lost entire days to catching up with your previous content. I'm sorry your experience of Scotland ended on such a downer, we generally are not an unfriendly, unhelpful people so I'd put that down to bad luck more than anything. It's been interesting seeing my city and country through someone else's eyes; Edinburgh is a fantastic city to live in but there probably is quite a lot we could do better! If you're ever back in Europe during August make sure and pop over to Edinburgh for a few days and give us a second chance, the city is a whole different proposition during the annual Festival (the biggest arts festival in the world!) and for a few weeks at least we give those big cities you mention a run for their money!

[@jbcvabeach82]

I feel like I was with you on your trip, I love the way you guys cover it, even the airline issue! My brother and I are visiting the UK this July. I feel so much more prepared after watching, thank you for posting!

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you dug the videos from the UK! Enjoy your trip! -E

[@yeovil07]

hope you come back to the uk, your videos are by far the best travel vlogs on youtube , keep up the great work

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! -E

[@pssurvivor]

It's so comforting having Erik in the background while Kyde tastes all these weird meats and fishes. I'm equally scared of certain smells and textures so it's nice seeing someone echo it otherwise travel shows always show people being adventurous with their food

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, there are just certain things I can't do, haha. -E

[@vvmmuu]

So sad to hear of your anxiety. Hope you have normal / great times ahead. Beautiful couple.

[@kydeanderic]

Thank you! -E

[@paulabercrombie9718]

I first by chance started watching the endless adventure,but Kyde and Eric add that humour which makes them more fun to watch.If you stopped doing this,you would make great comics.

[@kydeanderic]

Haha, we aren't funny scripted, it's gotta be off the cuff I think. Thanks though! -E

[@theambergambler1]

Scotland is my home. It's wonderful to get your views and perspective of Scotland, even though the ending to your trip was not very nice. Airports are odd places, but all that was so unnecessary... Oh, just so you know It's not pronounced Cock... (see also Cockburn Street in Edinburgh, is pronounced Co-Burn Street) we pronounce it Co Bridge... as in co-operative, the opposite of how R**n**r and your end of trip AirBnB host treated you. If you come back, and I hope some day you do, visit Argyll and Oban area, gateway to the western islands, there are day trips on the ferry .... you don't need to take a car onboard! Really pleased I found your videos, look forward to some more! Slàinte!!

[@peteq1972]

Been loving your trip here in the UK, sorry to see you go :( have a great time.

[@suzibaldwin9541]

I was just in Scotland in July.......I LOVE the parts I saw, which consisted of mainly 2 major cities, Edinburgh, Glasgow, but other places of interest included Dumfries, Oban, etc. We were there during a "heat wave" of 22 degrees (70 degrees). The Scots were complaining and I was thinking, "Heat Wave??". I would recommend Scotland as a travel destination. Try "tatties and Neeps". amoung other things.

[@kydeanderic]

We were there during a blizzard that shut down Glasgow for many days! -E

[@femaletrouble]

70 degrees?! I would be whining about being chilly. I'd be burying myself in my flannel zip-up. But I'm from Florida, so I guess I'm kind of a baby about the cold.

[@danielwalker26]

My goodness what a mess Ryanair puts themselves in. So glad that you made it to Italy finally.

[@collectivelight]

Sorry to hear about the bad experience with the airline. Hopefully they will improve that situation since so many people are having the same issue. Hope you have better luck on the next leg of the trip!

[@kydeanderic]

We think it's a system built in to boot people off overbooked flights without paying compensation, I don't think it's going to be fixed. It's working just as they want. But thanks, the rest of the trip went perfect! -E

[@gas1958ify]

So sorry to hear ,your trip here to Scotland,ended with some very bad negatives ,about our service industry,likely the majority of us Scot's agree with you,and we ourselves hate been past from pillar to post,when we have a complaint ,about something,which could be easily rectified,if someone just had some gumption to take responsibility to deal with the situation. I myself do not blame the ordinary worker ,for this problem,but i do blame really bad management,all the way to the top. The people here in Scotland,really take pride,for being known as a friendly and kind nation towards strangers,and i am sure many of us ,who have followed ,you both on your journey around our shores,feel somewhat saddened it ended with negativity,on your last few weeks here,in Scotland. I thank you both for uploading some beautiful and lovely video's,of which some where very funny indeed,i enjoyed viewing your video's very much ,and i hope ,the rest of your journey went well,and you both had a great time,as you seem a very lovely couple,who are really down to earth.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much for the understanding! -E

[@nigelmiller407]

Really enjoyed your videos guy's on your travels around the UK really enjoyed watching them all. It's been really interesting to see things from an outsider's perspective about a country I love and have lived all my life. Good luck in all your future travels.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed! -E

[@paulabercrombie9718]

Thanks for yet another great video,you two wouldnt function without each other.

[@skaboy-ro1gm]

the Easter Aquhorthies stone circle that you were in, is famous because a scientific team set up an experiment to see if the legend of the stones 'singing' had any truth to it, and they found that the stones give off a measurable sound, which they can't explain why or how they do it. There was a tv programme about it ( I think it was an American programme). As Eric said there are loads of stone circles in the NE of Scotland, most of which are easily accessible

[@kydeanderic]

Neat!

[@fallingonabruise]

Such a shame that your trip ended on a bad note, looking forward to seeing your next adventure :)

[@pushtheenvelope]

Your experience just sums up the Ryanair experience - it's wilfully, arbitrarily and unendingly awful. From hidden fees, to bullshit admin, to the migraine-inducing yellow they insist on decking the cabin out in. But they know they can get away with it because on the majority of routes they're by far the cheapest provider, hence the indifference of which you felt the wrong end. So unnecessary. So horrible. Thanks for all the videos of the UK and IoM- I always enjoy seeing a visitor's perspective of my country, and I'm looking forward to sharing the rest of your trip with you!

[@kydeanderic]

I almost feel personally responsible for the atrocious treatment you had at the hands if Ryanair. Please dont judge all Britains by you experiences in the outer most reaches of the land.

Me and my wife sat down last night to watch your latest video, were glad you had a good time in Scotland we love driving around the country as often as possible. have to say how disappointed we were in your experience in your last week. as for RyanAir they are the worse airline in the UK. we could understand why you were angry it seems to us someone could have warned you about it. Then to cap it of your airb and b finding the countries worst landlady, i suppose there are folk like that everywhere. we hope it will not put you of coming back to Scotland in the future. we have loved watching your videos and feel inspired you go and see some of the things you found that we had missed. And its wrong that ryanair require a stamp that no one else require maddness!!!

It’s the Caledonian Canal that joins the East Coast to the West Coast. Loch Ness runs down an ancient tectonic plate no longer active. It separates new rock formations on the South side from the ancient Caledonian structures on the North side.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

I am Welsh and I can tell you that the stone circles are pre-Roman Brythonic from when the Celts ruled the high countries of these Brythonic - I mean British, of course - isles. They are found all over Wales and Scotland, which shared a common culture, heritage and language until fairly recently - about 2000 years ago. Stonehenge is different. It is very ancient, even by Celtic standards. It dates back to a time when Celtic culture dominated all of Western Europe, many thousands of years ago. It's quite possible that the myriad small stone circles dotted around Wales and Scotland were created as nostalgic reminders of the good ancient days: a product of racial memory 2000 years before we were born. However, I have another theory about stone circles. I think they were the first music and stand-up comedy venues where druids - renowned for their skills in battle and their edgy sense of humour - entertained crowds numbering in the tens with their ready wit and off-beat takes on ancient life, and sang many popular songs about the earth and love and the weather. It's marvellous to see this ancient tradition revived at the largest stone circle jerk of them all: Glastonbury. Rolling around in mud and effluent is certainly the best way today to discover your inner Celt. It almost makes me proud to be some sort of modern pseudo-Celt with barely a Wiki-level understanding of prehistory. Wishing you a very good Spinal Tap from Wales. Land of my fathers and all that. Lechyd da!

[@kydeanderic]

Neat theory!

Andy Baker yeh I saw that. Just they won't know that's an original sweet from UK. They might just assume that's the name of a type of cake.

[@bam-skater]

Ryanair, like most airlines tbh, overbook the aircraft. I suspect what you have just witnessed is their way of removing the overbookings.

[@annother3350]

True - I'm sure you're right

[@JohnD640]

And the pieces finally fall into place, Watson!

[@alicedell8595]

That's not the point. It's the airport staff with its "not my responsibility" bollocks that needs to dramatically change. A shaming video is crying out to be made!

[@beccarmagie]

i kinda feel "not my responsibility" is indicative of an issue in scotland as a whole. People are underpaid, brexit price hikes are taking their toll, a lot of what you paid was higher than it used to be, mental health and NHS services are failing and people honestly are just starting to break. Scotland has a reputation for its dourness and humour, but we are usually friendly and helpful as a whole. In my job, which is customer service, i find myself saying that, because if I go "out of role" or above my role, I am not compensated, and im actively punished in some cases. at other times, you go above and beyond and try to make processes for people to follow, eg telling all airline staff aware of a ryan air issue to tell people, but you as one person have little influence on the whole company and no reward for attempting it.

[@rja421]

Yes, I was about to write the same comment. I think it is law that compensation must be paid if they can't fly you so this seems like a convenient way to lay off the responsibility onto the customer.

[@weswemyssonbass]

Guys, check out the Flightright website to see whether you might be able to claim back compensation from RyanAir. They're already being dragged through the Irish courts for cancelling flights due to their flight crews being on strike. There's lots of info online on claiming compensation from them.

[@chelsal]

So sorry you had such a bad experience with Ryan Air & during your last week in Scotland . Really enjoyed your videos within the UK , hopefully one day you will have an opportunity to visit Southern England.

[@sudonum3108]

I went on a backpacking trip that took me all over north Scotland about 15yrs ago and your experience at the hands of one bad samaritan after another definitely chimes with mine. I thought I was being victimised because I was a solo traveller but turns out it's just part of the"Scottish" experience. I'm a Scot by the way, glad you at least enjoyed the scenery.

[@kydeanderic]

Haha, can't say I'm thrilled to hear that other people also had poor experiences. To be fair, we met lots of nice people too. -E

[@sudonum3108]

For every bad samaritan there was a good one but the deliberate malice exhibited by the bad ones left the greater impression unfortunately.

[@weswemyssonbass]

You're gonna love Croatia! As long as you're there during the Spring/Summer when all the boat links are running. xx

[@kydeanderic]

We actually already filmed it, we were there in the spring. It was amazing. -E

[@charliekassyk8357]

I LOVE that your reason for going to Aberdeen was because of Johnson from Peep Show. You two are the best!

[@kydeanderic]

Aberdeeeeeen!

[@Harry-gb2tr]

Hi Guys. So sorry you had such a bad experience in Edinburgh and the infamous RyanAir. Hope it does not put you off coming back to the UK. I think you would appreciate working though Southern England (Kent and Sussex) then go on via Devon and Cornwall - great coastlines and food :). It is also great fun to go over and explore the Channel Islands and Isle of Scilly - its so pretty ! take care.

[@tylerkuite]

Roose Nestacles & The Constant Stream of Astonishing Circumstances, you guys should publish a book lol

[@domramsey]

I'm sad that your last couple of weeks in the UK was so bad! If you ever come back to London, we'll make it our responsibility to make sure you have an amazing time! Looking forward to your Italy videos!

[@garthlyon]

I'm in danger of falling in love with your coupledom. Bravo for getting off the beaten path in Scotland - and for not sugar-coating the downsides (jobsworths, "not my-job" and non-existent customer service in places).

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you are enjoying! We try to be fair in any criticism we may have. -E

[@celt67]

It never ceases to amaze me why so many Americans (not specifically just you guys...) on KZbin come to Scotland in the middle of winter and are surprised that it's cold and windy....and off-season as far as tourist-friendly amenities go. For example right now, Edinburgh has the largest international Arts and Comedy festival in the world annually going on right throughout the summer. The entire landscape is green and inviting in the Highlands... not bleak and snowy like it was back when you guys were there. As for RyanAir... they're NOTORIOUS as a dreadful airline with terrible customer service. I'd rather walk to Italy than take one of their planes.

[@kydeanderic]

We never said we were surprised about the weather. It was just a factor about our visit. We can't travel during the summer due to work obligations so it was winter or never. -E

[@timrogers7693]

And The highlands are beautifully in winter - even if the days are short. Summer can be a real disappointment in the highlands wet, midgy, touristy and not that warm. Spring and early autumn are always the best times to visit. I think it was great move coming earlier in the year.

[@funkfreeze]

Personally, I think the Highlands are more distinctive in the winter. They're dramatic and that is emphasised in the harshness. Summer smooths the edges. Winter is the fit for the Highlands. You saw it at the best time in my opinion. Scotland? I've never been made to feel welcomed there, but I'm English. Goes with the territory sadly and I just don't think they're welcoming of other Anglo nationals. Italy on the other hand? They'll treat you like family just for giving them a smile. Venice, and the rest you'll see, is magic. Forza.

[@timrogers7693]

I don't recognise that Grant.I have plenty of English born friends here and they have never had a problem because of where they are from - they are as much a part of the community as anyone else. its not Glasgow afterall, where your accent can be a problem if you are in the wrong place. All kinds of people wash up in the Highlands and its a generally welcoming place. As I have mentioned elsewhere there is a dowerness in Aberdeenshire which can be hard to penetrate but ant-anglo? Nahh.

[@martindornan1667]

Grant Cruickshanks The over 450,000 English people who live in Scotland must not be feeling unwelcome. Have you not ever thought that it maybe just you that is not welcome.

[@Andrew-uf7uu]

I hope it didn't spoil your time in Bonny Scotland, you had some great times. + GWAR!

[@indy-biker-stevie]

E&K, those lock gates are at Banavie & are called Neptunes staircase, theres 8 lock gates all together & were designed by a famous Scottish architect called Thomes Telford & the lock gates were completed in 1811.

[@scottishsuzuki8132]

Hi guys, love your travels here in Scotland. A kelpie or (water kelpie) is a mythological creature we have that can take the form of a horse. It’s said they protect children from dangerous stretches of water.

[@MrCakerape]

We actually have a Loch called Loch Long, some stellar naming from the clans

[@andynixon2820]

If you liked the settlement of cock bridge you may also appreciate the village of Twatt in the Shetland Islands .

[@skuzzbunny]

You guys are just the best, glad you made it to Italy finally.....!!!D

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! -E

[@Bartaci]

Really enjoyed this Scotland series of videos! Sorry about the whole Ryanair business, they are a bloody joke, but you get what you pay for i guess. Hope you come back and see some more of Scotland, you should come spend some time in Ayrshire and the west coast. West coast is the best coast after all :)

[@margaretgray6808]

This is the first time I have ever commented on you tube. I felt I had to. I am so very sorry for your terrible experience here in Scotland. I have lived her all my life and yes I too get disappointed with the some appalling attitudes. Not everyone is like that but a significant portion is. If people don't enjoy their stay or want to come back we have only ourselves to blame. It was heartbreaking to see how happy you were to leave to go to another country. Maybe one day you could return to see the Glencoe area and we could redeem ouselves. But for now happy travelling.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much for your understanding. To be fair, most of our memories are positive and we certainly had some wonderful days during our visit! -E

[@andrewgraham4372]

Stumbled upon your videos and I have really enjoyed watching them. I especially like the UK ones as being a Brit it is fun seeing how others react to our unique quirkiness that we think is perfectly normal. Britain is full of places and towns with strange and sometimes rude names, I cannot tell you why but it makes everyone laugh. It’s a shame you missed the southern half of England and it’s well worth seeing Devon, Dorset & Cornwall next time 😀

[@kydeanderic]

We can visit the south next time! -E

[@AlexMcGinlay]

It's a real shame you didn't get to see Glencoe. That truly is a brilliant place to go through.

[@Louisa93able]

That bird in the water was quite rare; it was one of the divers and it came along just to see you, or maybe to get onto KZbin!

[@davidforman6191]

butteries should be eaten hot/lightly toasted and spread with butter. far nicer than croissants when warm. originally they were made with lard to preserve them on the fishing boats as normal bread went off during trips to sea.

[@eviltwin2322]

A kelpie is a mythical water creature (there are many in Scottish folklore) meant to resemble a huge otter with a horse-like head. You're welcome! 😊

[@StephenNultyToxteth]

Have really loved your UK videos. So sorry to see your problems at the end of your visit to Scotland, especially missing your chance of spending your anniversary in Venice. Despite the problems you had I really hope you visit the UK again in the future and perhaps visit more places in England and Wales.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, next time Wales is certainly on the menu! -E

[@noghd2560]

Your Scotland videos have been awesome guys. Thanks.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. -E

[@AlbaSaab]

Unless I’ve missed it, I can’t believe you didn’t go to the west coast. It’s the most beautiful part of Scotland.

[@kydeanderic]

We went to Ullapool and then down to Skye, but didn't go further south than that on the coast. The area around Ullapool was our favorite. -E
