Absolutely loved this video! The air-fried food looked incredible, and it’s so impressive how you cooked it all in your campervan. We’ve just subscribed and can’t wait to see more delicious recipes and adventures like this. Thanks friend for sharing such a fun and tasty experience! Big Like! Best wishes, Chiara & Donato from Italy!

@@fuoridalsentiero Thanks you two, we are glad that you found us, there sure will be more cooking in the van and adventures to come👍🐾💕

Apologies for delayed watch this week - Swans can be scary I find. The drone shots show the grand scale of the site - nice work. Difficult to imagine how busy these places were in their day Air fryer what a luxury

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@getawaygeese Thanks guys, the air fryer will be reserved for hook- up sites but a real treat when it comes out👍💕🐾

[@stellam8157]

Great video. Fish n chips looked delicious

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@stellam8157 Thanks, yes you can't beat agood fish and chips, and that was a strong 7/10.👍💕🐾

Just spent two nights on that exact pitch. Very nice cl and we had the place to ourselves.

Aww, this brings back memories of when I use to tramp over from N.Ireland with Irish butter for Walkers shortbread, parked up in the factory, could get supplies from Asda and go to the Station Hotel for a bite to eat and a pint. So it's on the bucket list to revisit when I retire soon and get a caravan. Lov the vids.

Air friers are game-changers. Our kids clubbed in together and gave us one last Xmas, and we love it !! My daughter says her partner was a big "braai" fan (barbecue), they usually had one every weekend. Now, since the airfrier, they have had hardly any as it's quicker, easier and much crispier 💙🦋

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@didevilliers1238 We have one at home and agree they are game changers, so we were keen to try one on the van, and glad we did,, it will definitely be coming with us from now on👍💕🐾

Great video as always. The editing is excellent and your videos have a real professional feel about them without being too slick!!. Loved the air-fryer segment- it may just have persuaded Mrs W that we get one for our Carrera!

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

[@julieworn5159]

@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot question for Tricia…. This is Mrs W here lol! Do you recommend an air fryer and do you use it more than the oven in our vans. Love to meet you both when we are up in Scotland next year. Love your travels ❤ Julie

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@julieworn5159 Hi Julie, I use one at home all the time and this is the first time I have tried one in the van. I really liked it and will definitely be taking in along on future trips for when we are on hook-up. I don't use the oven in the van much, mostly the grill or gas ring for stir fries, but the air fryer could be my new best friend 😉

[@didevilliers1238]

I have been thinking about this video and just had to pen another comment - regarding the sculpture / stone carving in Elgin cathedral - that very naughty little look on Tricia's face as she directed you to have a gander at "what lies beneath" - absolutely PRICELESS 😂😂😂😂

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@didevilliers1238 she has a wicked streak in her. I thought it might have been a spider 🕷 she knows they freak me out 🤣

[@dianabelcher39]

A great video showing all the history attached to Elgin, the cathedral was most interesting, lovely drone footage, the pet shop with all the goodies!!!! Judging by the amount of carvings lions must have been very important... Congrats on the air frier they are big time savers...

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@dianabelcher39 Thanks, yes loads of lions and to think the stone masons had probably never seen a lion, just been told of and described to them. Loving the air fryer 💕💕💕

This is not just fish and chips, this is M&S fish and chips!! (Not sure that's grammatically correct.) We haven't been up to Moray since the 90s when we did the whole journey from the Midlands in one leg with 3 "are we nearly there yets?" in the back. Must go again as it's clear we missed such a lot. Thank you for the drone shots. Laura (1st time commenting but a long time watching.)

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@toeinthewater28 Thanks Laura, that comment was well worth waiting for, it's probably not changed much since the 90's but well worth a wee return leg for you at some point👍🐾💕

Didn't know Elgin was a Scottish name/town. We have an Elgin here, a suburb of Chicago, but here they pronounce it with a soft g like the gin drink. Love your videos!

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@ukaly1 I wonder if it's possibly named after our Elgin, so many UK place names were adopted when people emigrated. Thanks for the feedback 👍💕🐾

[@nigeldavey1043]

I've not checked all the comments but if you don't already know, theskull and crossed bones on that grave (and there were possibly others) denote he was a poor Knight of Christ and the Temple of Solomon. In short a Knight Templar. There are quite a few graveyards in Scotland with Templar graves in them, particularly in the Edinburgh area, East end of Ferry Rd at Leith and Roslyn of course. But from memory I think they had a Commandery at Elgin too. The motif also appeared on their merchant ships and I believe flags on their fortified buildings. If you're in the habit of mooching through gravestones have a look-see if you can spot any more. The hidden carving under the shield could have been a lot worse. I was expecting from your build up and the positioning if it was still attached to the fabric of the ruined Cathedral that it might have been a Sheila-na-gig. And if you don't know what that is , I'll just say " nobody wants to see that at teatime on a Friday but I'm sure you can Gooit if you have too. Let me just say it's the equivalent of what you did find but equal to "the divine feminine" of Christian symbolism. 'Nuff said I think. By the way, I think Air Fryers are the best for Fish and Chips, I had Scampi and Chips out of mine this evening😋

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@nigeldavey1043 The date on that grave was 17th century which I would have thought would be too late for the Knight Templars which I always understood to be medieval, but perhaps they spanned many generations. There are a lot very old graves with skull and crossbones that are not KT's, and we have a good look around Banff medieval graveyard in a couple of videos time, lots of skull and crossbones, but I don't think any are KT's, or indeed if any of them made it this far north. Perhaps otherwise engaged further south in their concealment of the holy grail at Rosslyn 😉

Hari OM I always drive though Elgin on the way to other places (one of those not so fun driving experiences) but you have given me some incentive to stop on the next visit north. Which of the car parks did you use? I love my air fryer... but the name is deceiving. Remember they are really just mini ovens. I have done everything from scones, cakes, puddings, souffles and roast dinners up to the standard no-fry frying. You can even 'boil' eggs! Doesn't save time, but it does save water. YAM xx

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@yaminthegrey Lossie Green car park, just a short walk through the park to the Cathedral or town centre. That's a few ideas for us for the air fryer, we (ok let's be honest, Tricia) will be trying other meals when we are on hook-up 👍💕🐾
