This is Why You Should Travel to SCOTLAND

[@sunnyplace729]

I had the pleasure of having Graham as a tour guide on 2 different occasions during my visit in 2014. He really is a fantastic guide, it was great to see him again. This video brought back lots of great memories.

[@khalidalali186]

I was fortunate enough to have visited Scotland when I was a kid in 1997. I was only 7 years old, but remember quite vividly spending three weeks in Avimore and Inverness up north. Beautiful places.

[@trevorjory3002]

Great memories for me Gabriel, I climbed 'Ben Nevis' in 1984, now I'm lucky to climb out of bed, .. 'happy boxing day', thanks and take care.

[@horseplop9]

Would you climb it again?

[@Tycoon-7]

How old are you now 🥺

[@BillKing3456]

A few years ago, when we took a tour on our way from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye (for 2 nights), our tour guide van driver changed things up when we approached Loch Ness by switching from talking about often brutal Scottish history, etc. to the fact that Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page once owned a house on the east side of the lake/loch. He then played Stairway to Heaven instead of Scottish traditional sorrowful ballads and our trip got way cooler. The band Yes also came up with the song Roundabout in this area. And The Police's Synchronicity II is about (in part) stirring Nessie from the depths .... the west coast of the Isle of Skye, by the way, is right up there with Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way and the Oregon coast, all stunning.

The village you were in Gabriel was Pitlochry, its in Highland Perthshire. Beautiful village, that really come to life when the Victorians connected it with the railway in 1863, it was one of the stops Queen Vitoria used to make on he journey from London to Balmoral Castle. By the way, the best sausages in Scotland are flat and square, they are called Lorn Sausages, you need to try them before you leave.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, thanks for the info.

[@MarkBH70]

From what little I can gather, my family is supposed to be from the Scottish Highlands: I looked at two evidences. My grandma used to say "wee." I didn't think much of it, just thought it was a regular word. Nice to see it! Never before. Looks quite beautiful!

[@Thezangizo]

I love Scotland. Every year i spend a week camping and driving through the highlands. Brilliant video. 😀

[@AnkleSnapper72]

I like how at times you walk the city on your terms, but then others, you take a tour and get an expert guide to places like this. I find it's so good getting out of the city for day, seeing the history, villages, countryside. Very much enjoyed the highlands and the lochs, looks a fun day out. Thank you for your continued sharing of your adventures.

[@sanchoodell6789]

Thanks Gabriel for taking us around on your travels. Only recently discovered your channel (as you do!) . Like your style, quite informative but informal, down to Earth and not too much ego. Yes Scotland, I have to say, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Only visited Edinburgh 2 years ago by train from London and drove to the highlands, Perthshire etc April 2017 very worthwhile.

[@japankofun]

Edinburgh itself impressed me more than I expected, but was really glad to see you get out into the Highlands as I've been curious about that part of the world myself. Weather wasn't great for scenic views, but the Glencoe area looked pretty amazing nonetheless. You just keep adding destinations to my long list of places to see - but don't stop ;-)

[@daveh1247]

Merry Christmas Gabe. Sorry the weather was so miserable. Thanks for showing us your tour.

[@Earthgal063]

Gorgeous. Wonderful music too 👍Thank you, Gabriel, Merry Christmas n Happy New Year, safe adventures. 🕊

[@iamleela8305]

I’m going to go to Scotland in a month because my step dads Scottish So I wanna see it,so far it looks VERY BEAUTIFUL

[@juliegoodwin6850]

Thanks for another terrific video! Looks beautiful even in such chilly weather. Best wishes to you in 2019 and look forward to another year of your amazing travels!

[@markbolyard1849]

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, but this will be my first time actually commenting. I’ve only ever left the States once unfortunately, back in 2005, and spent the entire time in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The Highlands were by far my favorite region the entire trip, so naturally I enjoyed seeing parts of it again here-it brought back many fond memories actually. Glen coe was my second favorite part of the Highlands, the Isle of Skye being my favorite. Really wish I had visited more islands that would have required a ferry because of that-hindsight you know. I think that’s part of why I enjoy your videos so much actually, you just seem a genuine traveler and less a “tourist” in these videos. There are some touristy things now and again that just can’t be passed up, such as Loch Ness, but I enjoy just seeing the streets in these cities and towns as much if not more than those rarities actually. I had a lot of fun just walking around in them myself and sort of experiencing daily life in a new area as much as when I visited castles, cathedral/monasteries, museums, etc. They were great for what they were but as time goes by I remember the small things more and more over exactly what was in a museum or exactly what the sites looked like when I visited them. I mean, that’s why photos are great, but even the mundane activities is what really sticks and you never know what you run into while doing so. Even when doing those planned excursions actually. I went to the Tower of London (just one of those touristy things again, practically a must if in London though imo) but my two biggest memories of it are completely unrelated to the actual Tower. I got side tracked there, but just wanted to say thanks as I really enjoy the way you just explore a lot of these areas and share them with us. It’s an underrated experience imo that more people need to try if given the chance to travel abroad or even more locally. The big Named sites are well worth visiting, but just breathing it all in and taking a step back from all of the tourist traps is a memory one shouldn’t deny themselves either.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Great, thanks for saying hello Mark, glad you're enjoying the videos.

[@jaylip_trends]

I remember watching this in 2018...when I fell inlove with Scothland, I can not believe how fast life has gone...Coming back to your Vlogs is amazing...Gives me Chills... you've done an amazing Job showing Us how beautiful the World is..and that we should consider traveling. I am happy to say, I am vising Dubai in August and the UK in September. Gabe you're an Inspiration to people like me, being scared of traveling alone. More Videos...never stop please Will soon join you on Travel Vlogging ❤

[@EinkOLED]

I bet that was a long day. Hope you have a happy new year Gabriel and look forward to many adventures. Thanks to your tour videos, as a single male traveller I have followed in the footsteps of your visits to machu pichu, iceland, california and many cities around europe.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Very cool. Yeah very long day, about 12 hours and a lot of driving.

[@deviousdevil5556]

Hi Gab, you're my true inspiration for World tour. Thanks and hope we'll meet one day. With lots of love ❤

[@МилаРашић]

Beautiful country,brave people..maybe one day..thank you..greetings from Serbia👋

[@pattralee]

A fabulous rail journey is the 5 1/2 hour Glasgow Queen Street to Malliag train that goes over the viaduct that featured on Harry Potter as well.

[@jimspeirs1264]

Nice to see that you made it to Glencoe and that the clouds were down , making it more moody in my opinion . Very cool video ! Cheers Gabriel, enjoy the rest of your stay in the UK .

[@marafarnham595]

Thanks Gabriel! Another amazing video 😊❤ be safe and warm! See you in your next video

[@evehosgood]

Nice to see the Highlands, wonderful part of the world. Best wishes from Cardiff, Wales😊

[@leonpascar9676]

The West Highland Way hike is a great activity in Scotland during the spring and autumn

[@Blackboarddiscover]

Thanks so much Gab for this video. Really an easy travel guide to Scotland.

[@salmetal01]

Lovely to see you in our beautiful country. I find Glencoe to be so much like South Iceland. If you ever get the chance to visit south west Scotland I’m sure you would love it. Not touristy at all and absolutely stunning. And Shetland in January during Up Helly AA is a must!

[@JesseStLouis]

I love how misty it is. Very foreboding yet intriguing. Ive heard about some cool hidden coastal parts of Scotland that i really want to explore.

[@MonaichFother]

Really nice video Gabe I am taking notes

[@Potomacstud]

Gabby is one of the best tour vlogger in my book!

[@searam1]

I LOVE travel videos, but getting to see the countryside from this bus was extra special! It is the 26th and I truly hope you had a smashing Christmas, alone as you were! I thought about that yesterday and drank a couple of brews in your honour! Boy, I will do many things to justify an extra brewsky, sometimes! But, seriously, I hope you had the happiest Christmas you could have! Sean

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks Sean, cheers!

[@paultakeotravels6325]

Beautiful area. So much wide open spaces. I also loved the song you used. Will check it out.

[@DeanaandPhil]

Nessie is real! And it lives in such a raw, beautiful country! Great video! =)

[@toni5543]

Paul Mcdonough Natural beauty is everywhere. Let’s love our shared rock in its entirety :)we are so lucky to live in the uk 🤗

[@lucasduncan1082]

Paul Mcdonough Haha, England more beautiful than Scotland?! 😂😂 The Lake District is the most scenic part of England and it doesn’t even compare to the Scottish Highlands ... they are like mediocre foothills in comparison! And as for your lakes ... they are also shit in comparison to the Scottish lochs.

[@OwenGarvey]

Paul Mcdonough your at the windup surely 😂🤔

[@janetjones4310]

Beautiful country. All I can say is wow!!!

[@kpriya286]

Beautiful ! Enjoyed watching your Scotland videos ...

[@karmathegiant]

Nice video and interesting information about the tectonic plates!

[@trish.goes.ironman]

Great video! I'm going to Scotland in June this is very helpful. Thanks, man!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Great, thanks a lot.

[@wanderingspirit7021]

Great video Gabe. Happy Holidays.XMAS in Europe sure looks like fun.

[@marinabassi3767]

Wow, thanks for this wonderful tour ! Nessie is right to choose staying in his loch all these years, the view is just too exceptional, isn't it ? Happy 2019 Gabe, you are the best 🌍👍🙏.

[@jamesabell9494]

Hi thanks for looking around Scotland. I love travel and like watching your videos. At the moment, I have to stay where I live in Scotland due to work commitments and am treating where I live as a traveller here for now, it is always great to see people enjoying Scotland. It is a shame you did not tour around the rugged north coast and the outer Hebrides, I spent some time in Iceland and it feels connected to that land too!

[@robertmcross1]

Welcome to the UK!! Love your videos and commentary, feel like i'm travelling with you !!!

[@KarinLynnBates]

It’s great to see the Highlands! I was in Inverness staying with a 5th cousin in January 1985, and he and his family lived very close to Loch Ness. We went all over the same area: Fort William and Glen Coe, then to the west coast across from the Isle of Skye, where my ancestors left Scotland for Canada & the US. It’s so amazingly beautiful and ancient in the Highlands. I really hope to go back one day. I’m really glad you took that tour! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼✌🏼

[@northofyou33]

Karin B, I was there in 85 as well. My ancestors also are from Scotland (and Wales and Ireland). It's incredibly beautiful, and I felt so connected personally through my ancestors. I always swore I would go back, but so far haven't made it. I hope to visit in 2019 or 20.

[@KarinLynnBates]

northofyou33 Yes, my ancestors are the same: mostly northern Scotland and Orkney, and some English, Irish, as well as a bit of German & Scandinavian. I was only 16 when I was there. My cousin took me to Culloden, and I had NO idea what I was seeing. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I’d realized what I’d seen and wished I could’ve remembered it better. Youth is wasted on the young, lol. I hope you get to go back soon!! ✌🏼

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

My ancestors are from Scotland as well. I still have extended family in Glasgow. I've never been though. I'm an American, living in Texas.

[@KarinLynnBates]

polifatts You should go! Scotland is an amazing country!

[@Gabrielafitnessmudrayoga]

Awesome! You should also come here in the summer, especially to the Findhorn Bay (very well know Findhorn Foundation Eco Comunity is here.) This is a beautiful natural part of Scotland. And sunny weather in the summer here! :-)

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

Damn, looks amazing. My family is from Scotland so I've always wanted to go there, especially the highlands. I'm surprised there is no snow yet this time of year..

[@suruunconditionalluv3360]

Very Nice Historical Tour... ❤❤❤

[@alexlurye1815]

Yo Gabe good job on all the videos still watching daily lol.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool man, thanks.

[@tomtravels372]

Love the videos man. You’ve actually inspired me to take a solo trip so this May I’ll be heading to Amsterdam! Keep up the good work Gabriel!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

That's awesome, have a great trip.

[@JoolsUK]

I will take a camper van up there soon. And wake up to those Highland views :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Nice, that would be the ultimate way to explore Scotland.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Beautiful scenery. Merry Christmas Gabriel. Your definitely the number one travel channel, followed by Where's Poppy and Travellight joint second, and finally Indigo Traveller number three.

[@CaliWeHo]

I love Scottish accents! Gorgeous video and music. Thank you.

[@chriss6356]

Something about the rustic parts of the UK makes me feel like I’m in medieval fantasy.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah I agree.

[@hubertvancalenbergh9022]

A fruitful and gregarious 2019 to you, bro'. I'm sure you'll find one or two spots on this planet you haven't visited yet ;-)

[@hayley2116]

Great video, I love the Scottish countryside, I would like to go to Loch ness one day! If you're ever in England again, I recommend the Lake District and Peak District.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks. I went to the Lake District when I was 18, it was beautiful.

[@BlueShadow777]

An Englishman (in fact, a Geordie) giving a guided tour of Edinburgh 😆 and, although he referred to Princes Street gardens as being one-time the Nor Loch, he didn’t explain to his passengers what exactly a “loch” is...! There may have been some who we’re oblivious. Okay, okay... anyone can learn the history of a place in order to give guided tours, it just seems a bit odd not being Scottish.

[@Dunsapie]

Daniele, the definition of a Geordie is a Scot with his brains bashed out. In fact, they may be English by nationality but ethnically they are Scots.

[@duncancallum]

Does that mean Scot's hae nae brains also. LOL. @@Dunsapie

[@Dunsapie]

Duncancallum, Oh no, not at all. Scots have brains as they chose to remain in Scotland.

[@gopherbar]

I was in Edinburgh a few weeks ago and the Christmas market was a ripoff, £14 for two mulled wines when in Germany it was €7 for two

[@duncancallum]

Dinnae buy them then ,

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Amazing scenery, especially travelling through Glen Coe. I would love to visit Edinburgh, its cheaper to fly (from Wales) than drive so Ive got to do it one day. Thanks for sharing.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

You live in Wales? I visited there when I was 18. I remember Caernarfon castle and getting rained on while hitchhiking.

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Gabriel Traveler ah Caernarfon Castle is a great castle to explore! I live in Pembrokeshire, a huge county in the south west of wales and yeah, it does rain a lot here but it’s beautiful 😁

[@connorwilliams584]

If you are ever in Edinburgh again hit me up! You deserve an off-the-beaten-path tour!

[@BilboScotland]

Amazing movie--and I'm Scottish--seemed like a pretty '' keep themselves to themselves '' bunch of co travellers you are stuck with there---at this time of year you see the foggy misty aspect of Scotland which has a haunting beauty--similar to that you see in Ireland. The whole Loch Ness/Inverness area is beautiful but fair to say it is tourist central if that's your thing,,, but wherever you go you are only a mile or so from wilderness

[@remurraymd]

wonderful video prettier and warmer in summer but the history and rugged beauty is still amazing!

[@brochestedbs]

What a pity the weather was so bad. If you get good weather (best chance in May, June or September, October) the scenery is magical.

[@iam_lord2301]

Good job 😊 how I wish I could travel like you Gab

[@callummetcalfe1745]

Hi Gabriel, I watch your channel a lot. Didn't know you were just in Scotland! Aberdeen is my home town. I have just return from a short trip to Karnataka and Goa in India for Christmas and New Year. Hope you enjoyed Scotland, Glencoe is real beautiful, much greener in the summer. Did you try the Irn Bru drink? Keep Up with the videos man! Peace

[@MastMaulaPuran]

wow really amazing. I never been there. i hope i will visit one day.

[@dougyoung2294]

Glad to see you got some representative weather

[@tokyosweetwalk7129]

wow, how lovely country. id like to go there...

[@reneerangihuna8690]

Hey Gabe, you definitely must return in the summer time to climb Ben nevis and stay at rowardennan youth hostel located at the base of the mountain. I worked there in 2016. Very charming hostel set right on the banks of loch Lomond (Google for pics - they have their own jetty and the ferry brings passengers in and out of luss village if you don't have a car) stunning scenery, great hostel with awesome food! My favourite job while I lived in the UK 👍

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah I'd live to climb Ben Nevis, that would be epic I'm sure. Probably easier than the Himalayas.

[@iancampbell6925]

[@saddoncarrs6963]

You picked the best time of year to head up the A82 to Loch Ness - it's a caravan/RV nightmare from about April onwards. Glad you enjoyed the trip. One question - why is it you can pronounce Pitlochry correctly, yet you pronounce "loch" as "lock"?

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thank you enjoyed your Scottish tour , greetings from Malta

[@northofyou33]

How do you like Malta? Did you retire there? I'm thinking of checking it out.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, That trip to Scotland was amazing no mention of William Wallace, I thought you may have seen a location where any battles may have taken place. Interesting mention of the tectonic plates to form Scotland and maybe not as important but no mention golf courses the birth place of this game.

[@voxley19]

You were asking about cameras following the problems you were having with your GoPro Hero 7. If I were you, I'd wait and see if GoPro issue a further firmware update that might correct the issue before buying an (expensive) RX100 VI. If you are interested in the RX100 cameras, you might consider the previous (V) model which has a faster f1.8 kens than the f2.8 lens of the VI, although the VI has a much larger zoom range. If you search on KZbin for "Jared Polin Sony RX100 VI vs V", you'll find a great video comparing the two cameras. Jared Polin is American, so you'll feel at home! One thing I would say is that you will be far less unobtrusive using an RX100 than a GoPro for vlogging in the street. Sorry I've gone on a bit, but I hope these thoughts help.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

No worries, thanks for the info, that helps. I'll consider getting the V instead of the 6, plus it will be cheaper. My GoPro might have an issue aside from the update, because no one else has reported the same problem I'm having.

[@keithwilson3388]

If you're going down south to England then visit the north. Liverpool is amazing and very cheap. Also, the English Lake District and there are more castles in north Wales than anywhere else.
