We all need a reminder of summer today! Road Trip DashCam - Montrose to Balmoral Castle, Scotland

As we are currently stuck in an intense spell of horrible weather (well, here in Scotland anyway), I thought it would be nice to post a bit of dashcam footage I had sitting on an old SD card gathering dust on my desk. So here it is - a drive from home in Montrose to Balmoral Castle, and all on a beautiful summer's day. I hope you enjoy the drive :)

Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!

Steve as a newcomer to your Channel I am enjoying your videos. This one in particular is outstanding. The scenery is so beautiful it’s like time has stood still in the little villages along the way and the vintage buses. I cannot help thinking of our dear late Queen Elizabeth II. It is no wonder she loved Balmoral so much and chose to end her days and leave her Soul in that part of the Universe. Her Happy place full of childhood memories. The music made it all the more emotional whilst watching.✨✨

[@iantovey7132]

All I can say is, WOW! After watching your drive to Balmoral I am in awe and relaxed. The scenery, the weather, the music, and the two old buses. We are planning a trip to the UK maybe next year. My other half has never been, me, I grew up in Lancashire, till I was 16. Since then it's been the USA. We were thinking of traveling as far as Edinburgh, but might have to add the drive to Balmoral into our travel plans. Thanks Steve, for this awesome video. Scotland is amazing!

[@pbyguy7059]

I have diabetic neuropathy and these days cold = pain. And it's real painful out in the Puget Sound area lately. Thanks for the ray of sunshine man.

[@steve-marsh]

Ah you're so welcome! My dad gets that too

[@bernicebest]

I remember this beautiful scenic rout Steve, I believe this is what everyone needs just now, I have emergency dental work ahead of me 🥴 it would be wonderful if this could be transferred to my dentist ceiling! Oh! to be in Scotland where my cares would melt away, thank you 🙏 for this mesmerising tranquil journey to “Balmoral” sad now that our dear Queen Elizabeth is no longer with us! great memories for me of a time long past Steve, blessings to you and Alicja from a dismal wet & windy Derby’s country side, 😊🥀🤗 “Slainte” 🥃

[@steve-marsh]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, just remember it’ll be over soon and you’ll feel so much better for it! Thanks as always for your lovely comment 😊

[@bernicebest]

@@steve-marsh Thank you Steve, I’ve not had a lot of luck with dentists over the years, so I’m quite fearful of them! luckily I have found a great mercury free one, I was unfortunate to have mercury poisoning some 25years ago, so it helps when someone knows what your talking about!

[@RaymondCalloway]

Absolutely wonderful drive, peaceful, mesmerizing and soothing. Plus what perfect weather for it all too, thank you!!!

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks Raymond, days like that are a distant memory now :D

[@bramgroenewoud3541]

Dear Steve Thanks I enjoyed it to see a nice part of my beloved SCOTLAND Grts from the Netherlands

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much mate!

[@censport]

You don't know how much I needed that after the stressful week I've had. Thanks Steve, that really hit the spot! My weather app said you had some heavy rains headed your way. Stay safe and dry!

[@steve-marsh]

So glad it did the trick! Aye, it's horrible here and not moving, stuck indoors hence the opportunity to edit this one :)

[@falafel4618]

''The time will come when winter will ask you what you were doing all summer.'' (Henry Clay). A lovely drive to watch and some really relaxing music (almost too relaxing - I nearly nodded off) - just hit the spot after a long, dark, dank, windy week! Thanks for posting this Steve

[@steve-marsh]

Beautiful comment, and nice to see my videos are still sending people to sleep :D

[@jornspirit]

...thanks for the 'on-the-road' meditation - indeed a good reminder of Summer 💛😍

[@jeremybanyard4448]

This was truly stunning, we were only in Fettercairn 2 weeks ago, for a BBQ /birthday party, and we were staying in St Cyrus. And what a lovely drive over to Balmoral. Had the privilege of playing the organ in Crathie Kirk on a visit, was even invited back for the Sunday service but was not staying that long - could have been playing for Her Majesty!! Loving the videos, thanks Steve

[@lauraautry6992]

A beautiful day for a beautiful drive…thank you 🤗. I have always wanted to visit Scotland and hopefully one day I will. Thank you Steve for being the best travel agent . Ireland is the closest I have been to Scotland. 🤗❤️

[@paulharvey9149]

Steve, you've done us proud - this certainly is a welcome sight in such a dreich spell... All the more so for the like of me who can't drive and for whom any drive anywhere is such a rare treat! Fettercairn certainly looks like the kind of place I'd like to explore... I remember reading about the Cairn o' Mount Road in The Courier when I was about 12 - and now, 46 years later, I have seen what it looks like for the first time! I was at Braemar a few times as a child, and I did a day trip by train and bus from Edinburgh to Ballater about 13 years ago and, was then driven south along the A97 from Huntly to the A93 and Perth a couple of years later, but that's about the limit of my experience of that part of the world - mainly owing to the lack of public transport, and never being fit enough to cycle! So, many thanks, my friend - and should you ever feel like doing any more of these drives, I for one would love to see them.

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much for that Paul! I tell you what, drives like this certainly give ideas for future videos as well, really want to have a closer look at some of those fabulous wee villages!

[@bobhewings6812]

That was a lovely relaxing video Steve. What a beautiful scenic drive, with a lovely piece of music in the background. Not got to Balmoral yet but is on the bucket list for the not too distant future,thanks for the glimpse. Stay safe you two.

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers Bob! Yet to actually visit the castle ourselves yet, but if the drive there is anything to go by, it'll be spectacular!

[@getyourwillhere]

Been there have video of a Ferrari meet up that happened while there.

[@kudzumoose3861]

Enjoyed the road trip. In addition to being a great "spring" break, it reminds us that all those little towns not usually visited by tourists are beautiful, fascinating and deserving of attention. Get off the tourist path and just wander the roads.

[@jjfromhonolulu9023]

Beautiful drive Steve, music is perfect. I hope you go back and visit some of those wee villages (bring your camera!) and share those on KZbin. Very Very Very Nice!

[@robertbeaty8744]

Ok , Steve you out did yourself on this video. It’s nice and we appreciate your out of country videos but the ones you do locally are on another level. Nothing beats a van video through the surrounding country right out of your back door! The only traffic jam I saw were people on bicycles and lovely old buses. This video was hypnotic with the scenery and music. Just well done. Do we maybe see you guys on some fat tired electric mountain bikes some day? Could take a load off those feet and knees! Anyway, stay safe.

[@steve-marsh]

Oh Robert, it was a pleasure to be in those traffic jams :D Hey, we'd LOVE electric bikes, the only problem is we don't have anywhere to safely store them. What we'd do for a wee garage! :)

[@djmark143]

Beautiful drive Steve, thanks for taking us along. I already decided to take the wife and kids to Scotland next spring for a holiday as your Scotland videos really made me want to visit Scotland again. Have driven the road from Cairnryan to Hull many times when going to The Netherlands where I was born and raised but I really want a proper holiday in Scotland now. ^^

[@steve-marsh]

Oh I wish you weather like this!

[@colin.d]

Looks great when the sun shines (and that blue sky!!)

[@steve-marsh]

It's a rare treat :D

[@russmeans]

Steve you make me miss Scotland so much! Driving the back roads are some of our favorite memories. A few more years to go before we can go back. Please keep these type of videos coming. Thank you

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers Russ! A lot to be said for taking the slow road sometimes eh? :)

[@michaeljackson2838]

@@steve-marsh Always, not sometimes! The best places to eat are always one street back,and the best roads to travel are these. Long may it continue!

I second that sentiment. Miss it very much.

That was soooo relaxing to watch. After a stressful day I'm really chilled out now. Thank you Steve.

Such a lovely, tranquil video Steve. It's great to see the roads of Scotland 'live'. I spend so much time on Google maps looking at street view planning trips. Maybe one day I'll actually commit to the drive north! The buses you passed were lovely......a reminder of a bygone era.

[@steve-marsh]

Aye, those buses were a bonus! And that whole trip was a reminder it’s sometimes nice to take the slow road :)

[@StripeyNick]

@@steve-marsh Oh very much so. Sometimes when I venture up to the north, it's nice to take the A470 through mid Wales rather than the monotonous M5/M6 (I'm based just outside Cardiff)

Lovely & what a beautiful day. The music was very atmospheric but then it started to make me feel melancholy! I looked up Balmoral, what a shame the Victorians demolished the old castle. They went round demolishing anything old, we no longer have an Elizabethan manor house here for that reason. 😢 You're furnishing me with such a huge bucket list & I'm 65 😬 🤣

The bus you followed is one of the buses that my granda would have worked on, I spotted "Alexander and son" on the rear of the bus and that's where my granda worked...at Larbert where the main garage was. Even after 65 years I can remember catching those type of buses when he took me fishing in Loch Earn. Falkirk to Callander, Callender to Loch Earn. How the memories come flooding back with the glimpse of the rear of a bus!!
