The final part of UK's greatest roads trip with myself and ‪@baldandbankrupt‬ ended in Scotland! We finally made it after 3 long days of driving and seeing the wonders of Britain. What we was not expecting was Scotland to be our favourite place! We first made it to Glasgow in hunt for Scottish cuisine, haggis and Irn-Bru! Before heading through the highlands to the finishing point at John o Groats, what a journey it was! 🇬🇧

I have lived in Scotland all my life and can honestly say that the whole ‘animosity’ thing is not as bad as you were making out at the beginning. Sure you might get 1 person in 1000 that would show you maybe some distaste, but the majority of Scots are very welcoming and hospitable people.

The amount of Irish the Scottish slaughtered is off the scale, if you do some research on ancient history you’ll get the true picture. Plus all that shared heritage comes from mass rape and pillaging of towns and villages right across Ireland, by Scottish soldiers.

For some reason Scottish racism against the English is acceptable, whilst the English massively subsidise the Scottish economy. The dirty secret, little reported, is that either the English don't care because it's too far away, or the English closer by, would rather they f*** off a go independent. Their appetite for independence tends to rise and fall with the oil price. Interestingly several areas who hold the oil supplies say they would seek independence from an independent Scotland, which would be an interesting outcome for the racist Scottish nationalists,.

Sorry - having lived in Scotland for almost 25 years I can tell you that in 99% of cases there is no anti English sentiment. Scots treat people well - if you are being an arsehole then then you will be treated to reflect it. Iron Bru is brilliant and so is Haggis. Your first taste of haggis is not typical of the product. Patella make iron bru ice-cream that you can have with your deep fried mars bar.

Haggis is bloody wonderful :- Haggis (Scottish Gaelic: taigeis) is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach though now an artificial casing is often used instead. Before you turn your nose up at it,read the ingredients for hotdogs or cheap beefburgers !

Famous saying in Scotland you'll have more fun at a Glasgow stabbing than an Edinburgh wedding (im a wedding musician from Edinburgh and can concur) Easter House is on the Celtic republican part of the city. If you sung God Save The Queen you would get abuse because its linked to northern Ireland troubles) Years ago the area you were was on of the most dangerous areas in the UK. Loch Ness is expensive because of the amount of tourists who go there but Loch Lomond next to glasgow is prettier. Hope you avoid the midges (like mosquitos). When the earth was one continent (Pangea) Loch Ness was physically linked to USA The Appalachian Mountains. They still call them hillbillies from protestant Scots Irish ancestry Glad you like Scotland lol. I was shocked how London looks so amazing but a lot of parts of England looked like Coronation Street. We do our version of fried breakfast with potato scone (best bit) black pudding or haggis. You'll probably like red kola and deep fried pizza. I'll need to try a deep fried mars bar.

It’s the Highlands for you, all the hotels are extortionate up there. Even a basic B&B can set you back 50/60 quid a night.

Edinburgh is an awesome city. Edinburgh Festival was amazing when I went. Also hiking up to the top of Arthur's seat has epic views of the whole of the city. Top 5 most beautiful city on Europe. 1 in the UK in my opinion.

In 1997 I was given the chance to travel anywhere United Airlines flew, for $33USD each way and I had 4 one way tickets. I WAS going to fly to Edinburgh Scotland because I saw a movie once that was set in Scotland and the women in it were not only friendly, they were beautiful and I wanted to go and find a Scottish wife(I was 21 and full of hopes and dreams). I never traveled outside the USA and I just graduated from Technical school and wanted a better life. I sadly changed me mind and flew to Chile instead.. Came back home with many electrical sockets and switches I liked to collect from around the globe, but no wife and no girlfriend.. As a Puerto Rican I just blended in too well in Chile I guess.. I wonder what could have been in Scotland in 1997? I guess my biggest fear now is racism since that seems to be in vogue again. But who knows? I still see Edinburgh and think back to what could have been.. Sad but true.. Haggis? I was told it was sheep's BLADDER stuffed with mince meat and rice and spices.. Hence why so many around the globe say do not eat that lol! Meanwhile in Puerto Rico, my local pub is serving up pig intestines stuffed with mince meat and rice and deep fried or stewed!

Fair enough, there is a tiny minority of Scottish people who might try hassling a couple of young English guys having a laugh and filming but hundreds of thousands of English people live in and visit Scotland with no problems at all. Having said this, ANYONE walking around the "schemes" in the big cities at the wrong time is going to need a little bit of luck.
