Scottish Highlands Fun | Mallaig, Highland Games, Glenfinnan Viaduct and Glencoe

We explored the western Scottish Highlands on a trip to Scotland. We ate fish and chips in Mallaig, visited a highlands game outside of town, and ended our day in Glencoe after visiting the Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Visited west coast for the first time in Sept - good food, friendly people and gorgeous scenery - the steam train over the viaduct was memorable.

Grandfather Mountain in the states claims to be the biggest Highland games in the world .You also triggered my fish supper reflex and I had to get one after watching this .

Adam and Madalyn, I’m from Glasgow, Scotland and I absolutely love your videos of your travels in my beautiful country. It’s evident how much you’ve enjoyed your time here and I just love your enthusiasm. By the way, the giant log you toss at the Highland Games is called a caber. Keep the videos coming.

[@AdamandMadalyn]

We had a fantastic time in Scotland and cannot wait to come back for another visit!

[@cherylramsey3409]

A little late, but I just found this video. Such a beautiful area. I am McDonald by birth and Ramsey by marriage. The Sc highlands are My ancestral home And I see you have been through Glenn Co. . Do you know the story of Glenn Co and the slaughter of a branch of the Mcdonald clan?

[@AdamandMadalyn]

We are familiar with that story…are you a descendant?

[@cherylramsey3409]

@@AdamandMadalyn I am part of clan Donald. DNA haploid group RM 269. I lost track of my Scottish ancestors back in the time of king James. When many fled from Scotland to Ireland, and then into Canada. Some Scottish people were just packed up by order of the kings and shipped out of Scotland, whether they wanted to go or not. I I do remember my father telling me how our ancestors would come down from the highlands at night to appropriate (steal) cattle,sheep and crops from the lowland clans. However, I have traced a lot of my ancestry to multiple mayflower passengers.

Sorry, spelling error Haplo group

At the clachaig inn you were literally a 5 minute walk from the site of hagrids hut 😊.

[@axeljacobs9723]

OMG that fish&chips looks good! Thanks for the upload! Great show!

[@AdamandMadalyn]

Thanks Axel!

[@grantross2609]

love the crunch...............hate the fish !

[@duneideann9241]

Very enjoyable watch. Respectful and looks like you guys had a lot of fun

[@AdamandMadalyn]

Thank you!

[@robertreape]

the tossing of the giant log is called tossing the caber or caber tossing

[@AdamandMadalyn]

Caber Tossing! Thank you! It really is incredible to watch!

[@wadesaleeby2172]

You have to pour some malt vinegar over all those things and then take a bite! mmmm Good! ☺️

[@Conzo71]

Thankyou

[@AdamandMadalyn]

You got it

[@kudzumoose3861]

I am surprised that your peas with the fish and chips weren't mushy peas. By the way, did you get a sticky pudding anywhere in Scotland? I had a great one in Inverness, memorable.

[@AdamandMadalyn]

We had sticky toffee pudding in Northern Ireland and it was divine!

[@alistairthow1384]

The chances are that the local clans left for the carolinas during the clearances.

[@AdamandMadalyn]

Alrighty!

[@margaretballantyne6232]

What a shame that you didn’t see the beautiful white beach at Arisaig/Morar x

[@AdamandMadalyn]

Agreed

[@rachelhudson8362]

Bagpipes sure sign it's a tourist place for sure

[@robertfarrow5853]

Eating with your fingers in a resteraunt. How American!

[@COShea-iw6ii]

Naaa... if you haven't had your fish & chips served wrapped in newspaper from a street vendor, you haven't had 'em yet. 😅

[@AdamandMadalyn]

Fair enough!

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

My perants use to say they would through me in the Crinan canal so i would find a husband, i can't swim, i could see the flaw in there plan. My mother is a MaDonald and i'm Lamont, so i'm from the most masicard clan and the 3rd most masicard clan. My crest is a red hand because there was a boat race to win some land, we were loosing so a guy on the boat cut his hand off and threw it on the land, we wone the land. So pleased to see you love our food please pass on how good it is so we can disstroy the idea our food is bad. Fabulous vlog, thank you.

[@margaretnicol3423]

If you are in Mallaig, saying the name 'Mallaig', how can you apologise if you're not saying it properly? Didn't you just asked a local how to say it???

[@AdamandMadalyn]

@@thomasoneil9338 Fair enough!

[@rosem2551]

So honest? Could u understand the dialect /accent clearly, or NOT? Is communication an issue anywhere in the UK for the average american?

[@AdamandMadalyn]

We’ve spent about 2 weeks of our lives in the UK and never had a communication issue, however we did struggle with roundabouts while driving
