Q&A to celebrate 50k milestone. Life as a Youtuber and some useful tips.

[@steve-marsh]

Absolutely fantastic mate! Gees, you've been in an emergency landing!? What a story to tell! We now need a Q&A just about the items all around you, South Carolina hat, Szczecin poster etc etc :D Thanks for such an entertaining hour, I might just need to watch it again with that girl from Montrose...ps you've inspired me to do another Q&A too, it won't be as good as this, but still worth a shot :)

[@Torridon22]

Looking forward to another Q&A Steve! Please let us know when we can send questions - so many! 😊

[@teamquirky4908]

Steve, I'm planning on coming up to Scotland then flying to Belfast, catching the overnight ferry to Liverpool Any advice you can give me

[@DaveyPalmer1]

Another Q&A from you & Alicja would be quality Steve. Looking forward to it already 👍

[@Jimsraisedbedgarden]

@stevemarsh when you planning to do your forfeit mate ?

[@kenglenwright4040]

You are our other favourite Scottish youtuber Steve. Keep up the good work

[@totalmink]

Just found the channel can’t stop watching - Scott you are an absolute legend. Reminds me of home yet takes me all over the place. Brilliant 🙌

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

Congratulations Scott. I watch you exactly for the reason that you are not a typical Me Me Me travel vlogger 😀

[@colinrenfrew48]

Congratulations on your milestone. Your style, and keeping it real are two of the ingredients of your success. Good job!

[@keithparker1346]

Yes I like that he doesn't try to paint a rosy picture about everything

[@happysporran]

Congratulations on 50k, really enjoy the channel...and not just because I'm a "buddy". Buddy = person from paisley for all the non scots followers

[@tomgoesnomad]

No drone shots. No fast cuts. No fake smiles. Your videos are inspiring to those wanting to bring their own style to their travel vlogs. Thank you.

[@holygooff]

Congratulations, Scott. I'm not suprised to seen your success, since you're a very nice and entertaining person. I'm always glad to watch your videos.

[@AnoNymInvestor]

I agree 400 %!

[@carolinegreenwell9086]

That was such a great chat. I wish you were just as animated, chatty and spontaneous in your usual videos. Thanks

[@AnoNymInvestor]

He is usually.

[@Beechhill]

Congratulations! Your content is perfect for a grown-up audience, both travellers and daydreamers.

[@veganfortheanimals662]

Congratulations! Love your Chanel! Watching from Dublin Ireland. I travel a lot myself, I've picked up some tips from you. Thanks 😊😊😊🎉

[@FrankC321]

50K big accomplishment Scott! Enjoy your travels and perspectives on destinations.

[@patriciacasey2840]

Huge congratulations to you Scott from two armchair travellers in Arizona USA. Actually one of us still travels at age 75 and loves it. Wish I had started earlier than 70 years of age. Love the people I meet and the food. The other traveller would like to go but health and age limits that. Anyway, loved this show...wish that other fella we all know and love and shall remain nameless would do a Q&A too. Hopefully will be in Scotland in September....trip is booked and I am ready to pack my bags. Cheers...here's to another 50,000.

[@Marie-ly3kj]

New to your channel. So interesting and your sense of humour is the icing on the cake! Congrats on the 50k subs. Very well deserved.

[@AnoNymInvestor]

😂😂😂

[@beachman8106]

Thanks Scott, that has to be the very best live video I have ever watched. . As a fledgling KZbinr you have given me much information and food for thought. I started in September last year and have earned 3000+ views and 26 subscribers. I enjoy both yours and Steve’s videos. 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ from 🇦🇺

[@JohnK-w7t]

Very happy that you reached the 50K milestone. I've been watching your channel for some time and look forward to each new video. BTW-My wife & I greatly enjoyed your book. Take Care, John & Cheryl

[@tinsoldier1983]

Congratulations Scott, I must admit to enjoying watching your viewing figures skyrocket whilst waiting patiently on your regular Sunday upload! Well deserved, onwards and upwards.

[@markharkin5257]

Congrats on the 50k subs brilliant stuff... been watching your videos for quite a bit now, down to earth no BS. Would love to bump into you for a beer in Paisley or if you venture north of the Clyde lol

[@garethsmith2250]

Well done , well deserved love how your not using freebies like others do

[@Yag159]

Hey Scott. Great channel you have. Keep travelling--- and keep up with your unique style.👍🏻👍🏻

Wow Scott, this was fantastic .. so enjoyable, loved every minute!! Congratulations on this milestone - onward and upward for sure !! My husband and I love your videos so much, and send you our best wishes from Western Canada (formerly from the UK) ❤

[@peterosullivan9942]

Congratulations on the 50,000 subs. Love the site. PS - Re the 92 I am on 90 and have also done all the 42 in Scotland plus many hundreds more abroad and in the lower leagues. I think that's where I get my love of travel from.

[@alantheakston2805]

Congatulations on 50000 plus subs, and thank you for the great Q and A. blog. looking forward to your future travel blogs.

[@steevobarker581]

2 of my favourite KZbinrs get 50k this week. So well done the both of you, richly deserved (the other being Gary Eats). 👍👍👍

[@ianlove1215]

I see you have a Thos Cook rail timetable!!! Ever so handy for getting around Europe in 1970s & 80s

[@davidmcnally4773]

My favourite you tube videos, you are so genuine

[@mrwibble70]

I didn't know you wrote a book Scott. I've just this minute ordered it. Should come tomorrow 👍

[@teresahill6356]

Congratulations Scott .love your channel dont put yourself down 🎉

[@aclockworkcranberry]

For a long form video with seemingly few cuts you are damn good at this format! Hope you do Kenya one day. From Ngong Hills (one of the best places I’ve ever seen) to Tsavo national park (one of the best places I’ve ever seen) to Tiwi beach Mombassa (one of the best places I’ve ever been). Running theme there.

[@thepalace2446]

Loving the channel 😊

[@mabbas7841]

Congrats Scott what an amazing achievement wishing you all the best

[@davidknox5929]

Brilliant Scott

[@frankbarr1101]

Hi Scott - an interesting Q&A and we do share a number 1 bucket list item - Antarctica 🙏- some day You mentioned the most maligned Ryanair. Despite what people say, most of their flights leave and depart close to schedule and little goes wrong. Last year my daughter and I were flying Dublin to Glasgow. Glasgow closed when we were en-route and after circling for awhile we ended up in Edinburgh. Have to say on arrival we were met by Ryanair staff and brought to a central point in the arrivals area and within less than half an hour buses arrived to whisk us to Glasgow. I have flown a lot with them and that was the only issue Ive had - not their fault of course but handled very well nonetheless.

[@williamsdaf]

🙌Thanks for answering my question Scott! Great Q&A

[@CherylSteele-rt8dj]

No way are you the Joker. We love your films, trips, comments, research, energy, wisdom, face, smile and presentation. Love you! 😊

[@pkjlr77]

Just when think can't like Scott anymore, he pulls out a Michael Palin book and says he likes him as well. Love Michael Palin myself. As a kid I used to watch his travel shows and credit that with how I now love travel so much 👍

[@bitspieces1107]

And Paul Theroux!

[@MrGearoid65]

It's a fantastic achievement, Scott!!! Enjoy it. Thanks for the amazing journeys you take us on.

[@droningonscotland]

Congratulations Scott. I’m looking to reach 500 subs so I have a lot of catching up to

[@MrTsVideoEmporium]

thanks for taking the time Scott 👌🏻 happy and aafe travels 👍🏻

[@ginamartin6768]

Thank you for a interesting q&a really enjoyed it

[@pkjlr77]

Fantastic milestone to reach Scott, well done and very well deserved 👍🙂 Just wondered where you got your questions from? I would have asked one or two for sure if knew you were doing a Q&A. Oh well, hopefully you will do another when you reach 100k 👍 P.S Steve Bruce asking a question 👍 good to see famous football player/manager appreciating your brilliant channel as well 🤔

[@ThamesShips]

He put a message up on twitter / X asking for the questions.

[@ThamesShips]

He put a message up on X asking for the questions.

[@pkjlr77]

Ah right, thanks for replying, I obviously didn't see that 👍🙂

[@ianmacquarrie4544]

Really enjoyed this Q&A. Would love to meet you in October when you are in Dubai and happy to show you round

[@silgo7923]

Wow has really inspired me… perhaps vlogging on how Orcadians get to Glasgow in the winter…psst it’s via Inverness and takes 13hrs.

[@Jane-cv1fb]

Thank you so much for reading out my question. I enjoy your videos so much. Keep the good work. Jane

[@spreston1996]

I really love your channel.

[@roversfan16]

Great job, please keep the trips coming, you've given such great insight into European travel over the last few years.

[@donaldsmith5838]

Thanks!

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Thanks for your suport Donald. Greatly appreciated.

[@MsCroatianCanuck]

Congratulations Scott it is refreshing to see a prospective from a mature solo traveller. I was wondering if you and Steve Marsh used to work together in the past in the travel industry? Looking forward to you responding sometimes to your comments. Cheers time for a cuppa ☕

[@douglasgrahamdronefilmingp2068]

A most enjoyable video. Congratulations on reaching 50k subscribers.

[@mariannevontrapp1063]

You deserve it, I always like your video so much...and the cofee..☕

[@AnoNymInvestor]

Cruising altitude. 🤣

[@Chronograph71]

Congratulations, Scott! This is a good achievement, but no reason to stop! Greetings from St.Petersburg, Russia!

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

love your humour and enthusiasm

[@ohheyitskevinc]

Congratulations! I hear Naples is great but my last visit in 2016 was.. basically the same as yours. Got out and went to Sorrento instead.

[@chris8966]

G'day from Oz , congratulations on 50k subs. Onwards and upwards from here on ,good onya maaaaaaate.

[@pawepsyta475]

Well done Scott! As a fellow train enthusiast I love the artefact from IC81104 Rybak framed nicely there behind you :) I love our Polish trains. Keep up the good work!

[@DSTWizz]

Well Scott, not suggesting for a minute that you stop travelling and just do fireside chats instead, but I've been absolutely riveted for the past 54 minutes! That was great. Really good questions, answered with honesty and wit too. You really are a natural at this game. So looking forward to your journeys this year (especially the forthcoming Newcastle one...) and also to seeing you reach the next milestone of 100k subscribers! Keep going, keep travelling, keep the cameras rolling, and keep editing so skillfully too, and you'll be there in no time at all!

[@ADAMEDWARDS17]

Thank you so much. Great to see behind the scenes of what you do. I don't think I'd have the patience! Looking forward to the second Manson v Marsh challenge. And more of those playing card locations.

[@shanegermany5803]

Scott, your content is refreshing, original and always a pleasure to see. Your challenge to Steve Marsh was really good, hoping for a 2nd one, look forward to your videos in 2024.

[@holidaytripsholidaytrips7254]

6:26 Be sure to take the train to Narva. It’s a border town on the narva river. You have Ivangorod, Russia just a few yards on the other side. You get great views of both Narva castle and Ivangorod castle facing each other off.

[@johnlaidlaw1146]

Really chuffed for you Scott. Great content always enjoy it.

[@laszlopunaflex6625]

Great channel. Congratulations Scott, well deserved.

[@mcallisterk]

Hi Scott it's not what you look like it's the content in the videos and myself and my wife love your videos keep up the great work and congratulations on 50k.

[@barbaram5214]

Great video and really interesting and informative, Scott. Congrats on 50,000! I’m looking forward to any of your Baltic travels and the Australia trip and really all of your trips. I’ll be flying Lufthansa from the U.S. for the first time this summer so really look for your upcoming video on that airline.

[@samanthahaggart5261]

Found your channel after your challenge with Steve Marsh love watching your adventures. Congratulations on the subscribers.

[@tomslick8148]

Well done on 50k subs. Love to see you do the lapland express train at Xmas time

[@JettTyler17]

Congratulations Scott! Well earned as well! Thanks for answering my question (as TylerTravels17), sounds like an experience you won't be in a rush to see again! Hope all goes well with your Australia trip, I just did my first one there in November 2023 and I did some pretty amazing things out there!

[@AnnemarieEskuche]

Congratulations to 50 0000! I like your humour and dry comments! A part of my family lives in Edinburgh. So , I like all what has to do with Scotland or nice Scots.... You and the two guys from Montrose - I do not tell the names - ....are opening my view to cities and regions, I can never travel. Kind regards from the " Lüneburger Heide-". Perhaps you will visit this region ?

[@DIEMLtdTV]

I always enjoys your journeys, some of them epic, some look utterly miserable, well done on the milestone. As someone who runs a channel of more modest numbers and of a totally different topic (aimed at trainee Chartered Surveyors so fairly niche), I do see lots of planning involved in your work that the end result are some fantastic videos. Being someone who takes lots of video footage of commercial property, not for KZbin but for work, you do get some funny looks but I've never been stopped as I always make it perfectly clear I'm their on behalf of either the landlord or tenant. Happy and safe travels.

[@birdsbodger]

Well done! I like how you take on feedback too, not seen the UV dirt seeking torch again. I prefer it when you are sightseeing off the beaten track, its good content.

[@GazzaBins]

Congrats Scott! 100k is next :D

[@tanyabassett8287]

You and Steve Marsh are the best. You need to write a book together , style Paul Theroux ( I love him ). Seen Louis Theroux books but wasn't sure if it was his son, thanks 😊

[@People_of_the_Mouse]

Dude, you are the king of grumpy old men on a bus.

[@Crewgotwings]

Fantastic video mate. Im from Morley myself so glad you mentioned the little West Yorkshire town.

Congratulations Scott 👍🏻

[@sandymandy3926]

Congratulations! If you're looking for new ideas, how about a trip to Bat and Ball Station? I always see it on the scotrail app and wonder what its like😂. Here's to the next 50k🎉

[@kenglenwright4040]

You are perfect for us, love your content ❤️

[@Martycycleman]

Thanks Scott, superb.😊

[@bracketsthepolicefan]

Well done keep going

[@IanRuxton]

I live in Kyushu, Western Japan, not far from a bullet train station (Kokura). I am a regular viewer of your channel and look forward to seeing your Japan trip, and maybe meeting you some time.

[@izabela1961]

Congratulations on your channel and the magical 50 thousands! Are you planning to go to Cornwall or travel along the English coast from the East to the West, to see the cliffs, villages, bays, etc. My dream, maybe one day.

[@CaptainBuzzBee]

Scott, we enjoy your perspective, and that you don't predominantly make the video about us seeing you all the time.

[@maxslamer]

Congrats to 50k from Uppsala, Sweden. Some weird musical connections popped up in my head. But the first one, that Glasgow band Orange Juice made an album called "Kilimanjaro" turned out to be incorrect. I realised it was Liverpool band Teardrop Explodes first album that was called "Kilimanjaro", released in 1980. But Ladysmith Black Mambazo made me think of Paul Simon , and then I thought of Simon & Garfunkel's version of "Scarborough Fair". So there you have the link between Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Scarborough. :)

[@jimbles5071]

I LOVE PLANES, TRAINS, EVERYTHING. TELL ME YOU LOVE ME SCOTT!
