Glad you liked my country. It seems everybody goes to Glenfinnan for the Jacobite steam train which is associated with Harry Potter. However, Glenfinnan played a very important part in Scottish history, it is where the standard was raised by the clansmen along with Bonnie Prince Charlie at the start of the 1745 rebellion. I would recommend visiting the visitor centre there and crossing the road to the Jacobite tower, climb up inside and pull yourself through the wee opening to stand with the statue of the clansmen. The view down Loch Shiel from there is amazing.

You're a breath of fresh air . . . crack on!

[@Rebeccad55]

This was amazing! Thank you so much for making this video. I felt like I was right there with you. I’m so excited to go to Scotland, I can’t wait! I don’t know when that is, but I can’t wait 😊

Something you may not have realised is that stretch of road you travel down at 11:00 on the way to Fort Augustus is in a famous scene in the cult 1980s movie Local Hero, which is about an American who comes to a small Scottish village to build an oil refinery but ends up falling in love with the place and the people who live there. It's full of famous actors and won loads of awards, inclining for its soundtrack. In fact, even fans of the film don't know where the road is.. but now you do.

Scotland.....nowhere like it on earth! When you went to Balmoral, you must have passed my house! Great vlog.!

Love seeing people travel around my country and be so excited about it!

Come back in the summer. Doesn't get dark till after midnight. If you liked Scotland in winter, Man you're in for a treat.

14:50 - "i was ready before you were born, son" 😆

[@DB-stuff]

Made me smile, thanks.

[@scottcjmckelviephotography]

haha I love the fact you just went without much planning and hit the roads, you basically did the best thing to experience Scotland seeing the scenery and whatnot and looks like you had an amazing time despite the bad weather that Scotland can typically get.

[@andrewmorton9327]

Love your insane enthusiasm! Top tip, if you go to Scotland in winter you have to expect bad weather.

[@panchomcsporran2083]

Looks like you had the good weather.

[@BrkicM-motoandvideo]

Great video and you have been on beautiful places. I was on a 🛵 trip in 2019. and Glencoe is the best place I saw. 🙋🇭🇷

Very enjoyable wee vlog - hope you enjoyed your trip from a Scot living in Abernethy, Perthshire, Scotland !

[@susanyoung2427]

Wonderful vlog. I too traveled around Scotland as a solo traveler.

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

Yep its dark at 3,39 and not light until 10am. Try coming in June 24nr day light very odd coming out of a club in Dundee. So happy you enjoyed my country. Im lucky to have seen the salmon jumping, amazing they are nakered at the end.

Thank you for the tip about the Green Hotel. NOPE, nope, nope, nope, NNNNOOOOOpe. And then entering Blaire Castle, which has more guns in its lobby than a Texas Walmart. But them views! The nature! The expansiveness of it all. Ah, majestic.

This looked absolutely amazing but, "the green hotel" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 was pretty terrible... I feel? New subscriber ❤️💕

[@TicketyBoo.]

Well done, I live in Scotland and you had me impressed. One thing though. There nay not be any clothing under a kilt but saying there is 'nothing' under it is definitely not true. 🤣

[@diamond1897]

When asked if anything is worn under the kilt, The correct response should always be "No madam, Nothing is worn, it's all in perfect working order"

[@johncampbell9216]

You can’t wear anything under the kilt, as underwear would just drop to your ankles when marching. Haggis is not “sheep’s stomach”. the scaling in which it was traditionally cooked was a sheep’s stomach. These days it’s a plastic casing, and you don’t eat the casing… except when eating hotdogs and wieners, they ARE encased in the same stuff as sheep’s stomach. The haggis contents are exactly the same thing as any samosa filling.

[@michaelcraig3078]

Very good

[@alancarlyon3928]

So sad you got some bad weather! You should visit the isle of Skye, you don't need a ferry, as a bridge has now been erected! Scotland has so much more too offer, haste ye back!

[@SWR112]

Don’t say Lake it’s a Loch 😂 and yes it rains here a lot. When we get blue sky days it’s even more stunning.

Great Video from Scotland, I can't wait to go back, new subscribe here #426

[@nevillemason6791]

Note for any future UK trips. At 6:38 you seem to be filming the countryside while driving. Using a mobile phone for any use while driving is a big no, no. If the police catch you it's a £200 fine and six penalty points on a licence. Don't know what happens if you have a non UK licence but it's still not worth the risk.

[@kaikito7662]

Hate to break it to you Jane, but we don't go to church on a Sunday morning. Most Scots - in an attempt to recover from too much drinking the night before - walk Zombie-fashion to the nearest newsagent for some burnt rolls and a lot of ice-cold Irn Bru.

[@cacy663]

We will be visiting the end of September and early October. Is there a GPS app you can recommend that will allow us to download maps/directions for when there is no signal later? Thanks in advance! Great video!

[@Indianajaneadventures]

I exclusively use Google maps. There is a download offline function. I would also recommend getting a local SIM card on arrival so that you have a phone to use. It’s about 20 pound- very worth it. Then you will have GPS as well

[@cacy663]

Thank you! I didn't know about the SIM cards. I'll look into that. @@Indianajaneadventures

[@Peter-yj8fj]

When did you visit, November?🤣🤣🤣i live here and don't see as much rain as is on your video.

[@user-qu4vv2vj3w]

Glencoe does that to you 😊

[@midikeys1]

How’s the driving from the left side? I will be visiting next year, but a little bit hesitant to drive.

[@Indianajaneadventures]

Just follow the car in front of you! You will be fine!

[@derekroper3168]

What month was this filmed? I’m going to Scotland in October!

[@Indianajaneadventures]

End of November! Starting to get cold and near snow. I would say October should be better. A lot of things were also closed for the season by the time I was there (funiculars, farmstays)

[@barbarakissee9677]

Can I ask what kind of shoes you wore?

[@Indianajaneadventures]

Mostly my Sperry Duck Boots. Definitely dress for rain.

[@lovermonkey]

So, what did you have to do to get gas?

[@Indianajaneadventures]

I went inside a little station and told the cute old man working I did not know what to do! He actually had to turn the gas on manually which I have never seen. Then he walked to the car did the whole thing for me. Pretty sure he wrote the number down and I paid at the end. I did go to a modern pump later and it was a little more user friendly. When in doubt, applicable to most anything, just ask! Especially in Scotland. Friendliest bunch.

No they didn't think you were out of your mind,they hear your voice and just though,aye she's American that'll explain the question😏

It's usually three pounds for ham and tomatoes but again they just thought aye she's american😂

How do you know it's genuine ingredients in Real Scottish haggis?the lungs are charred black and stink of stale cigarettes and the heart comes with a filling...clogged arteries,boom boom😂
