The Stirling, Perth, Inverness and Aberdeen stations bring back memories of my visit as an 18 year old in 2000. The scenery between Stirling and Inverness is not something I will ever forget. I spent 5 months in Scotland. Inverness, Aberfoyle, Aviemore and Aberdeen. The only memory of Queen St is a run from the taxi ranks to the platform to catch the train to Inverness.

[@PS3GamingScotland]

This was such a brilliant idea for a video. I really enjoyed the beautiful shots and music. Isn't Scotland beautiful? Great video!

[@grendel_nz]

Back in ~1986/7, there was a special Rail Day with a rover ticket for £5 go anywhere. It was green topped. We started at Dundee station and did the loop to Perth, up to Inverness, a stop off in Nairn, then on to Aberdeen and back to Dundee late at night. It was great, busy and exhausting. Well Done ScotRail. Not sure they repeated the experience as they were overwhelmed by demand :) great way to see Scotland.

[@steve-marsh]

Oh Dave you're giving me ideas!

[@stevewest6133]

Two things learned from this video, as an American who hopes to visit Scotland. 1) The train looks quite convenient. I'm considering not renting a car. That would ease a huge concern, as I wasn't looking forward to driving on the left side! 2) The countryside is forested. I pictured all of Scotland looking like Skye, with rocky short grass highlands, barren of any trees.

[@steve-marsh]

We have a few trees but nowhere near enough. But it does make for a stunning landscape as well, a bit different to anywhere else. The roads can be really difficult, and often left/right doesn't even matter as they are so narrow you just go right down the middle :D

(It took great patience to wait for Brent to finish work so we could watch it together.😉) I will have to live vicariously through your videos Steve until we get there next spring. Can't believe the beautiful weather you managed to arrange from the Scotland weather gods. And you tire yourself out just for us viewers, but I know you thoroughly enjoy what you do. We are so very grateful that you chose to take up the camera and give everyone a closer look at such stunning places and in doing so I believe you have discovered so much more about your own country too.

Btw, you are running an awesome channel! Thank You! 🤩

[@steve-marsh]

Hey thanks so much and wish you a great first trip to Scotland! As well as being a challenge, this is an awesome way to sit back and tour the country so recommended! Although I'd also recommend going as far north and west as you can while here, the scenery just gets better the further you get up into that corner in my opinion. I think you can do the Scotrail challenge anytime really, but I'd advise buying in advance if you can, 'on the day' prices can be a lot more.

[@jamesg6491]

@@steve-marsh Yes, great point you mentioned about going as far north and west as possible, while I am there. I was actually thinking about that lately.

@5:01 .. yes ! Edinburgh rock is lovely, far far better than the normal rock. Great video and enjoyable to watch. My wife and i visited Edinbugh earlier this year for the first time in 20+ years, then had a trip to Glasgow .. Both mini breaks were fantastic. Going again to Edinburgh in January and Glasgow in June 2024. Hotels already booked and trains for EDB too, so something to look forward to. York + Leeds trip in March, so we'll need to start packihng soon. Regards from Whitley Bay

I really enjoyed watching this video, I’m not a local but know my way round it’s good to see everything up and running again after the virus.
