I think you're right that the NE tends to be left out, hence the recent advertising push on television I noticed yesterday for Aberdeen. The borders and Dumfries & Galloway suffer similarly with tourists rattling past in their enthusiam to get to Edinburgh. Glasgow gets forgotten too mind. It's not short of embarrassing stuff (brilliant buildings left to go to ruin, some drunkenness etc). But the Burrell art gallery/museum in Pollok Park (5 minutes on the train from Central) is one the best you'll see and it's free. Back to Aberdeen: I'm guilty of neglecting it for decades so I must put it on my bucket list.

I'm a Scot and I lived in Stonehaven from 1961 to 1964, so it was a real memory jogger to see the places I used to play like Dunottar Castle, where we would play Jacobites versus the English Redcoat invaders. Back then the castle wasn't considered a tourist venue and there was never anyone there, so we would take a picnic and spend many hours there during the summer holidays.

I''m definitely in the camp of "Stirling castle is better than Edinburgh". As you say, the staff are dressed up and in character and enthusiastic. Plus just look at the location of it. Edinburgh castle's location is not bad though sitting as it right above the Princes Street gardens and the exit from the rail tunnel (the best way to arrive in EDinburgh imho). By the way, one of the original concepts of sculptor Andy Scott's Kelpies was for them to be moved up and down by the water but the idea was also to allow visitor access inside them which would have brought too many health and safety issues. Urquhart castle is also a cracker for it's Loch Ness location and interest. Nice video thanks guys.

Elizabeth is the main one in St Helier and has the addition of "the duck" an amphibious vehicle to get you over to it" But Mont Orgueil or Gorey Castle seems to have more in it. Hamptonne Country museum is an old farming museum. Is actually quite good. The Underground Hospital built in the second world war by the occupying German soldiers is also pretty interesting. Plenty of German fortifications still kicking about, plenty walks, be it cliffs, beaches, some stunning bays. Great food and drink establishments.

It was pouring down when we were at the top and it was so windy we could barely stand!! I haven't seen proper puff candy in years, it used to be sold everywhere, I miss it! I also prefer Stirling Castle as well. Hope you'll visit Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. You can do cruises on Loch Lomond from Balloch, Luss, Tarbet and Balmaha, have lunch on Inchmurrin Island (private ferry to and from the island!), visit Luss (a famous conservation village that was featured in a soap opera called High Road for many years), visit the viewpoint and art installation at Inveruglas, Visit so many waterfalls (Falls of Falloch, Grey Mares Tail, Falls of Dochart, Falls of Leny, Bracklinn Falls (the most impressive IMO), Inversnaid Falls and Little Fawn), Go for a sail on Loch Katrine, Drive the Duke's Pass, visit Callander, or Aberfoyle and David Marshall Lodge, or do some of the smaller climbs like Conic Hill, Ben A'an, Gouk Hill or the Dumpling. You can tell I used to work for the tourist board! There's tons to do here and not many youtubers or content creators visit cos they're always just passing through!

Queen Victoria built a pyramid to Albert, if that’s the tomb you mean, it’s up at Balmoral. Thanks to Scotland’s roaming rights you can visit and I think they even sell tickets for Afternoon tea at Balmoral now but I’ve heard they are like gold-dust.

That’s the one! Can imagine that afternoon tea is near impossible to get in to.

Everything is juice in Scotland, unless you live in the parts of Scotland where everything is Ginger Irn Bru = juice Cole = juice Pepsi = juice Orange juice = juice Orange Squash = juice If you want real orange juice you have to ask for fresh orange juice If you want orange quash you have to ask for diluting juice

Why do you have the t-shirt with the red hand on it, its just thats that is my family crest and for obvious reasons we do not use it. The crest came about when my clan tried to win some land, we had a row boat race and who ever touched the land first won the land. My guy was loosing so he just cut his hand off (as you do) and threw it at the land so my clan won the land. The Lamont clan is the third most massicard clan in Scotland. My mother is from the MaCdonald clan, the most massicard clan in Scotland. It's no wonder there is a saying that 'Scotland is built on blood and bone.

We can assure you that hand is not the one from your family crest. If you look closely it is the sections of the hand a palmist would use to ‘read your palm’. It is part of the official merchandise range from some of our favourite KZbinrs, Sam & Colby 👍🏻

I love your Scotland videos. I like that you know you're in Scotland when you come across an IRN BRU. Saying that, I found some IRN BRU in Guernsey, the most southern part of the UK near enough to France.

We do love an Irn Bru and we can get it in supermarkets here but it’s not as abundant as it is in Scotland… which is a shame.
