Northern Scotland!

Northern Scotland was even more beautiful than legend has us to believe! And the animals we met along the way! Pure magic.

[@ocelot8611]

I'm from the UK, and your vlogs on Britain have been an eye opener even for me. Many of us don't realise how spectacular this island is.

[@Kat.....]

Rewatching this series. I find it hard to travel so I just live through you guys instead lol

[@kyotocoversjimanderson782]

Those islands off the north coast are the Orkney Islands, with some of the most amazing prehistoric settlement remains in Europe.

[@inkyscrolls5193]

Just for the record, John o' Groats is the most northerly _town_ but is not the mostly northerly point of the British mainland. It's very close, but not quite - Dunnet Head, which _is_ the most northerly point, is about 11 miles northwest of John o' Groats. The northernmost point in the UK is Out Stack, Shetland, roughly 150 miles further north. When you were in John o' Groats you were north of Juneau, Alaska!

[@crglwr5648]

Inky beat me by a year. Lol. Was going to say something alike.

[@etherdog]

This reminds me of one of my favorite movies of all time is "Local Hero" with Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert about a Texas oil company wanting to buy the town of Airsaig to put in an oil refinery. Lots of very subtle humor. I watch it about every year and it is so sweet and nuanced. Directed by Bill Forsyth, who did "Gregory's Girl" which featured Keira Knightly in her first role.

[@sarahk5724]

Wow, beautiful scenery on a perfect blue sky day.

[@GypsieRhythms]

"Can you hear the grass?" "...an impressive beet moment." I love me some great outlandish quotes and you guys supply a plethora of them! Your humor Is on point and your travels are superbly unique! Thank you for the great content!

[@nicholasmarroulis2466]

Just got out of surgery and was so happy to be able to watch more of your adventures. Thanks guys!

[@kydeanderic]

Hope you are feeling good soon! -E

[@AmeliaAbroad]

I’m really upset right but I open up KZbin and see a new video from y’all and a smile instantly shows up on my face. I love y’all. Your videos really make me feel better I’m so happy you share your life with us :)

[@kydeanderic]

I hope you have a good day!

[@paulmoore4223]

Amelia Abroad hope your day picks up Amelia, love from England

[@andynixon2820]

I'm English but my good lady's Scottish . I'm reliably informed that those cattle are referred to as heery coos .

[@kydeanderic]

haha

[@andynixon2820]

For us English the Scots are a mysterious people . Keep up the good work , may the force be with you .

[@baronhoban]

andy they are called highland coos

[@baronhoban]

no

[@ianleishman6774]

Jerry Gregor you called it right!

[@barbarossa5700]

*Scotland has over 790 offshore islands,* most of which are to be found in four main groups: Shetland, Orkney, and the Hebrides, sub-divided into the Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides.

[@shaunvlog]

Welcome to Scotland. Hope to see you back and we can do some collabs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎥🌎

[@scottythedawg]

Seeing pictures never does justice to awesome landscapes. I never appreciated the grand canyon until I saw it first hand. Scotland really does have such incredible beauty, it too really needs to be seen to be appreciated. I am glad you two go that extra mile and drink it all in. Great Videos, a pleasure to watch!

[@nigelmiller407]

Great entertaining video really enjoyed watching it. Those small ponds as you called them are actually called lochans.

[@hannahkate2727]

The bigger town you went through I live there and was so excited to see you go through also it’s called Thurso

[@veroniquevoisin3087]

THANKS KYDE AND ERIC IT GREAT WATCHING YOUR ADVENTURES

[@biaedwards4025]

Different in a good way - travel adventures with Kyde and Eric is time well spent!! Thank you for posting your videos.

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you like our take on travel videos! -E

[@russellhogben6628]

I think you’re very brave tackling Scotland in February.

[@kydeanderic]

If you are impressed wait until you see next week's video. Hahaa -E

[@MikeGreenwood51]

I'm a new comer here. Late February 2018 and March the 1st was when 'The so called 'Beast from the East hit'. So tempretures dropped below normal in England (-9°C). But it was far milder in Scotland.

[@andybrockbank3027]

I think they were brave tackling Scotland.

[@seeker7679]

Hey guys just wanted to say that I've particularly enjoyed your Scotland videos. I've been living in Canada for the past twenty years or so but was born and raised in Dundee so your videos have been a trip down memory lane for me, so especial thanks for that. I'm really happy to see how much you're enjoying Scotland, the diversity of scenery is quite amazing. I'm hoping you guys managed to make it to the west coast anywhere north of Glasgow. The beaches are incredible and for me it's the most beautiful area of Scotland. Anyhow keep up the good work guys. You two are a lovely couple and it's a pleasure to share in your adventures. Take care, be safe and have fun!

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much! -E

[@beccarmagie]

Aww man I'm living in Dundee now, but from the south west of scotland originally, im hoping for a future video where Kyde and Eric visit my necks of the woods

[@crglwr5648]

Hope you enjoyed our beautiful land. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻💙

[@CoopzVideo]

Another awesome video! It makes me realise how much I take my homeland for granted, it's refreshing to see it through your eyes. Looking forward to the Skye video!

[@andytraill]

As a local it's amazing to watch you be exited by what for us is mundane there's a complete level of open truth to your experience. We're wrong you're right, all the very best for your channel and the future, enjoy it!

[@noghd2560]

Scotland is amazing. No place in the world is so accessible yet has such a feeling of remoteness and connection with nature.

[@blakefish80]

OK, since I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago, I've been pretty much binging on Eric and Kyde vids. I'm currently following you guys around Taipei on your trusty steed "Juicebox" 😂 I genuinely can't believe how long you guys have been committed to the travelling lifestyle... it's just absolutely incredible. At this rate, I'll probably catch up to your modern day adventures in about a month... 😂

[@kydeanderic]

Haha, glad you found us and are enjoying! If you catch up in a month I'll be impressed! -E

[@blakefish80]

Kyde and Eric... yeah, I was being pretty optimistic there.. Maybe 2 months? Hahaha. Safe travels you two ✌

[@bjornrecalcitrant8822]

Your videos are very addictive and I love your zest for life- can’t wait for the next instalment!!

[@kydeanderic]

Working on it right now! -E

[@freddiefurter]

It's actually really cool to see an outsider's perspective on the peaceful paradise I'm proud to call home! To see you guys enjoying the beautiful Dunnet beach that I walk along to work was awesome! Hope you enjoyed! Haste ye back!

[@SteveScottRacing]

Smoo cave is pretty awesome. There is indeed a boat that you can take a ride into the cave. Haven't been there for a few years, need to get back there soon.

[@phillight9495]

I'm from the lake district (england). Wow!! What a beautiful place. Fantastic video guys, thoroughly enjoyed It.

[@kydeanderic]

GLad you enjoyed! -E

[@Gazzo5]

Loved the video guys, glad you guys enjoyed our great land

[@johndow7807]

what a lovely couple! loved this video. Thanks for promoting Scotland

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! -E

[@jew-wheelsvanderburg]

Another Great Video Guys thanks for the stunning views

[@edspreckley1]

Love your videos your descriptions of everything is so interesting.👍

[@bushchat28d]

"... shhhhh, can you hear the grass?" wonderfully illustrates in just how many ways you were enjoying your travels; a pretty epic comment! Next time you think of coming to UK save up enough pennies so you can go to Orkney and Shetland they are both amazing places and the scenery will blow you away (much like the wind!). Enjoy your videos, wit and stories, keep up the great work!

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much! Yea, going up north would be awesome, we'll save it for a warmer season! -E

[@weechill333]

When you are at john o groats the island that you see is called Stroma. That’s where my dads family grew up. No one stays there since I think the 1950s. The beach was Dunnett beach. The ponds are lochs lol Great video 🍻

[@hexher616]

What a beautiful place!

[@kydeanderic]

Absolutely! -E

[@heywolfmoon2570]

"Shhh, can you hear the grass?" I loved that! I could sit there forever listening to it.

[@dantheger85]

another great video, kinda of forget how beautiful my country is at times

[@elihill8918]

Nice to see you guys!!!

[@bjornrecalcitrant8822]

From Glasgow originally but living in Australia past 27 years, so it’s been great seeing your take on Scotland and you’ve seen more of it than I ever did! Now I’ve gone back and started to watch all your earlier videos....entertaining and informative!

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you are enjoying! -E

[@danyduran6302]

Heading to Edinburgh in a month! Super excited and even more watching these videos! You guys are awesome

[@kydeanderic]

Enjoy!

[@alanprice7584]

John O groats is the farthest point from Lands End, Dunnet Head is the most northerly point on the mainland, really enjoying your reactions to the UK.

[@Caithnessflyfisher]

Nice to see you guys at Groats.. But the most northerly point of the UK is actually Dunnet Head... I fish the lochs there.. Great to see you guys enjoying where I live

[@collinhunter9792]

[@louisfig1208]

Great vid guys keeped me and my mates intetained. We are from Scotland and the pony is called a Shetland pony and the cow is called Hiland cow.

[@kydeanderic]

GLad you enjoyed! -E

[@Phlegmwahn]

At 2.38 the island is Stroma. It was abandoned by the last residents in the early 1960s. A local farmer now owns it and keeps sheep on it.

[@robinknox3569]

Great video guys. I’m Scottish (from the south west coast) and I’ve never been as far north as you got. We have some really great islands off the west coast that you’d love....next time!!

[@robertelliott2216]

Great video guy's hope you enjoyed Scotland.Haste ye back.

[@chrisdado]

So good to see you guys got out of the towns and into the remote areas. Too often tourists just hit London and tourist hotspots and never see the good stuff over here. The remote coast and highlands of Scotland are awesome.. If its not raining and blowing a hooley :) Happy travels.

[@caitlinveal5709]

I don't know if you have already done this, but could you guys do a video explaining how you plan the budget for a trip and what resources you use to find local spots to do cool things like that castle? I'm loving this series!

[@kydeanderic]

We don't budget very much, we tend to just live and explore cheaply. Sometimes people in our video comments give us tips on things to do, sometimes we just google around for things, sometimes we just use google maps to see what's in areas. There isn't really a straight answer, to be honest. Glad you are enjoying! -E

[@Rosie681129]

Hi Kyde & Eric, I have been binge watching your wonderful travel videos (started with London, as I live in London) It is fascinating to see what people from other countries think of our country 😮🙂 Watching you both & seeing your experiences is just fab! You are lovely, genuine people, sharing your travel experiences with us...... I'm so glad one of your videos was recommended to me 🙂 I must mention just how lovely the moment was when you both first spotted Jack the shetland pony... OMG 😁... The most gorgeous pony ever! Haha.. He would definitely had fit in your car! 🚗 🐎 😄 Best wishes to you both & thanks xxx

[@kydeanderic]

So happy you found us and are enjoying! I agree, Jack would have totally fit!!! -E

[@tonykeast9966]

Oh man... I'm so excited to see your reactions at the next stage down west. You saved the most special part til last, for sure. I live South West facing Arran. Ayrshire coast. Your jaws will be on the floor very shortly. Seeing your reaction to everything is awesome. I love it when I see people understand it is beautiful and enjoy it. Thumbs up and get ready for the food to rock, now you are nearly in civilisation again, nearly.

[@kydeanderic]

It was amazing up there. Next week's video has some killer landscape. -E

[@kydeanderic]

That pony has to be midgets in a suit, right? How can nature make that?!

Awesome, glad you enjoyed!

[@SparkFromWithin]

I made a mistake by overlooking the Europe series, that pony was missing from my life. So fluffy! What an absolute unit!

[@kydeanderic]

Hahaha, glad you found him! -E

[@ivandavies1388]

Another excellent video! The actual most northern point is Dunnett Head near John o Groats. Shame you missed the Shetland isles as they are full of history and archaeology. Keep up the good work

[@rachaelbaird3061]

My home and heart. Scotland 💙

[@jdeigh99]

I love the North Coast of Scotland. You must have driven past my Grans cottage! I don't visit as often as I would like, it's a magical part of the world.

[@anonymes2884]

In 2018 we officially reached Peak Pony ;). The large flat expanse in the north east around Caithness and Sutherland is called the flow country BTW and it's the biggest blanket mire (peat bog basically) in Europe. And yep, small country roads can be a bit mad here, a lot of them will be at the national speed limit which is 60 MPH on a single carriageway. My dad used to say that's not so much a speed limit as a dare ;).

[@MartinJames389]

The sad thing is you miss so much by sticking to a road. Shanks's pony (two feet) is the way to see the Highlands. You comment on the land's emptiness of people, but there's missing history there. The Clearances. Most of the population was EVICTED in the 18th and especially the 19 century, with great cruelty, to make way for sheep, which were more profitable or the fuedal landowners. It was the same in the Hebrides. It's where a big chunk of the population of Canada came from. Gaelic is still spoken in Cape Breton. A big chunk of the population of Glasgow, too, where the industrial revolution's misery and exploitation was suffered by dispossessed and evicted Highlanders and refugees from the famine in Ireland. Historically, as you passed from Caithness, from the flat Tundra of the Flow Country, the Causey Mire (Europe's biggest expanse of blanket bog), to the mountains of the North-west, you passed from Norse Scotland to Gaelic Scotland. Just look at the placenames! Many of those in Caithness could well be in Yorkshire! The islands you couldn't afford to sail to (the Orkneys with the Shetlands much further North) were once parts of Norway. As you come to the Gaelic placenames, however, you'd need a quick course in aspirated spelling to pronounce them (though some got Anglicised in the 19th century). Only 16 letters in the alphabet, so many sounds are represented by combinations of letters which look very odd if you don't know them.

[@kydeanderic]

Interesting!

[@previouslyachimp]

@Martin James - This was a lovely and informative post, but FYI if you call them 'The Orkney's' they will lynch you in the street lol! They're referred to as The Orkney Islands, or simply Orkney. Don't make that mistake or we may never hear from you again! :)

[@bazzzzz6175]

Ah, another cool video, chaps. So glad you've been enjoying our country. The north is particularly beautiful. Especially the north west. If you have time go to the Isle of Skye as it's JUST the most magical place in Scotland. The north of Scotland IS another world though. That's why I love it so :) I've been watching your videos since you guys went to York (because I just happened to be going to York with my girlfriend and father, on holiday) but loved your Glasgow, Edinburgh and up North. Keep smiing and having fun. It's great to watch :)

[@Yesica1993]

OOOOOOOO, THE LITTLE PONY! I wanted to hug it!

[@kydeanderic]

I KNOW!!!!! ME TOO! -E

[@neilmorrison7356]

My dad was born on Cape Wrath which you passed after Smoo Cave

[@CognitionSpeaks1]

What a beautiful country Scotland is. I've enjoyed seeing all the mountains. :) I also love both of your enthusiasm for your surroundings. I'm constantly smiling and laughing as you guys were when you filmed this! Great work guys!! :D

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks!

[@G4RY1159]

If i had a pony id call him Tugboat lol Great to see you are both enjoying Scotland etc Enjoy

[@willx8837]

great video guys, always enjoy

[@ur2c8]

Gorgeous scenery and cuddlywuddly animals. You are very lucky to be able to do what you do. I wish I could do it (apart from eating beetroot).

[@kydeanderic]

You just gotta go out and cuddle some animals, it's not hard! -E

[@The3ringer3]

have fun

[@johnevans2044]

Eric commented a lot on how the landscape kept changing as you drove. This is so pretty much everywhere in Great Britain, as you've probably already realised. Great Britain is geologically very diverse - it contains a very large proportion of the rock types found in the world, all packed into a relatively small area and spanning almost all geological ages. This is the reason why the landscape changes so much across quite small distances. If you look at a gelogical map of the whole island you'll soon see how astonishingly diverse it is!

[@achloist]

About 20:30 you were in Assynt. I definitely saw Sullivan and I think Quinag. It is an amazing place.

[@gayle5185]

Dunnet Head is the most northerly point of the mainland. John O' Groats is famous for being one end of the longest distance between 2 inhabited points on the mainland (lands end in Cornwall is the other). Enjoying the vids guys, look like you're having a lot of fun :)

[@ThePonkster]

Welcome to my part of the world - Im glad you like it ! You are right about the ferry cost , they are expensive for us too !

[@andeez4663]

I'm a tad disappointed that you didn't go to The Orkney Islands. The archeology there is pristine, henges, barrows, settlements etc Clearly it was a major hub in the neolithic and Bronze Age. Maybe next time!

[@kydeanderic]

The logistics of getting there just didn't work out. -E

[@halcroj]

And the Standing Stone circles like Brodgar and Stenness predate Stonehenge.

[@kydeanderic]

@gilburton Due to work restrictions we rarely can travel during the summer. -E

[@xParesh]

Wow another amazing video. You've seen more of the UK than I have and I live here. Love how you've gone off the tourist tracks and done your own thing and seen the real UK. It's really got me wanting to go to some of those places myself. I'd request two follow up videos if you may. 1. Your overall impressions of the UK before and after your visit. 2. You impressions of Japan and the US having been to Europe. Your opinions are so in sync with how many people see things so I'd be fascinated to see your perspective and if/how its changed with your new experiences. I look forward to seeing more videos. Very happy subscriber here. Take care and God bless.

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you are enjoying! We try to do little summary videos now and then tacked onto the end of our normal videos but I don't recall how deep we went into discussing things to be honest. We try to avoid "comparison" videos because it just makes people angry. Hahahahaha. -E

[@michaels640]

I only discovered this week that Sutherland (NW corner of Scotland) means South Land, as this land was the southern part of the Viking area based in what is now Norway.

[@Victoria11275]

That small fluffy pony, though 😍 Another great installment in your UK series. The Scottish highlands look amazing!

[@kydeanderic]

They are! -E

[@Captally]

Smoo Cave brought back some memories of one of my trips in that area back in 1968. All the wood walks were not there then but there is a story, too long for here, about asking a local about the nearest pub which brought about an extra two days in the area! The term "peat reek" is ever burned into my brain.

[@FalloutConspiracy]

Eric, your Bjork shirt @ 8:45 is everything!

[@kydeanderic]

Oh, I know. -E

[@ballantynemoyes8019]

Glad you got to the cave of Smoo. It's a beautiful part of Scotland.

[@kydeanderic]

Lucky we stopped!

[@garethleyshon1393]

You missed out on going over to the Islands (Orkney). Scapa Flow is the sea between the Islands, and used to be the base for the British North Atlantic Fleet (both wars). There is a museum, Italian chapel (Prisoners of War), Vikings, Iron Age ruins. lots of history.

[@kydeanderic]

We couldn't afford it with money or time, unfortunately.

[@nickdsnik1675]

Thanks for not missing Smoo Cave, what a magical place. Did you notice the stream in the field just south of the cave? The stream that disappears down a hole in the middle of the field.

[@kydeanderic]

Oh neat! No we missed that! -E

[@Dreadpirate46]

Great video! At first I thought you were wearing an Orphan movie t-shirt, Eric. And then I looked closer and realized "Oh, that's Bjork!" haha

[@bradleygarrity9274]

4 year anniversary of me watching y'all is tomorrow.

[@kydeanderic]

How do you know that specific date? Hahaa -E

[@bradleygarrity9274]

Kyde and Eric lol because I wrote sent it to someone the first time I watched it.

[@margaretgaskin4928]

Suddenly realised - you have to watch Local Hero. Or maybe you have though I think you would have mentioned it. Magical Scotland. You have to watch it.

[@eezZzee]

I love you guys like an old friend.. im not a fanboy but its always lovely to see you. thank you for making me smile.. I'm blessed cos iv got hours of you guys to watch from 5yrs ago.You guys do it so well huge hugs. You are gonna be massive even peole at work love watching your vids over my shoulder. Keep making em il keep watching. BTW i work nights and i watch in my downtime :) I'm a brit and think you havnt tried to make us lok stupidand love you for it. I want more gimme gimme more of anywhere huge hugs again stay amazing!

[@michaels640]

If you drive down the west coast towards Oban the scenery gets very high and impressive. When Pangea was breaking up and the early continents were moving around, Britain picked up as NW Scotland (low bits) a bit of what is now Canada. The snail shells in Europe have a turn (clockwise or anti-clockwise) But American snail shells are the opposite, and these N American shell remains are in the rocks of N W Scotland.

[@lesleymunro4964]

While up there, have a look for the "Falls o' Shin", near Lairg. It's inland from the coast, but worth seeing, as you can see Salmon jumping up a smallish waterfall. And the reason the landscape is so empty - that's what the "highland clearances" did, where landowners burned families out of their crofts, stuck them in boats, and shipped them off to Canada and Australia. Its why these places have a big Scottish contingent.

[@kydeanderic]

Sounds awesome, but we arent there anymore! -E

[@stewartross1233]

Lesley Munro QA

[@rodden1953]

Lesley Munro I just made the same comment , i wish more people knew about the clearances .

[@marybertelt3658]

John O'Groats is not the most northern point in Scotland. It is advertised as such. The place is called Dunnet Head. Your videos are great, I like that you go to remote areas.

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you are enjoying! Dunnet Head needs to step up it's marketing game! -E

[@xetalq]

John O'Groats is the northernmost town on mainland Britain; the northernmost point on mainland Britain is actually Cape Wrath.

[@scottdow6404]

Hello from Scotland we hope you guys had a braw time welcome back anytime och aye the noo
