Scotland on a Shoestring
Великобритания
Добавлен 11 янв 2023
Come with us on the road less travelled as we load DeNiro the Greyhound into Daisy our work-in-progress camper van and head off in search of cemeteries, castles,, coffee and charity shops.
We love exploring, and in this channel we hope to highlight the less well known places to visit in Scotland. We also occasionally venture further afield.
We really hope you like our wee channel.
All our videos are hand made in Scotland. Our content is mostly filmed on a GoPro 11 with a Rode fluffy microphone to keep the wind noise down. We also use a DJI Mini 3 drone. We Make our own music using GarageBand and the videos are edited in iMovie.

Journey's End? We head for the edge of the known world as we explore a changing coastline.
It's a seaside vanlife adventure in Daisy the Ducato as we head out to see the sights with DeNiro our rescue Greyhound (mostly) leading the way.
We're heading south this week as we explore some of the beautiful coastline of Yorkshire from Spurn Point to Bridlington and then across to York. Sandy beaches, lighthouses and proper old fashioned seaside towns, this area has them all and more including a rather special steam train.
Alas we do, literally, reach the end of the road. Well it had to happen at some point.

This week we're in the heart of Scotland, the wee county of Clackmannanshire. The day started with a visit to Castle Campbell, where we found out the hard way that rules are rules.. apparently. We explore the Devil's Mill (fortunately the devil was out) before a random pin on Google Maps took us to an a-maze-ing maze. Oh, and we visit some big metal horses heads.

We've been for a wee explore from the top to the bottom, and back again, of the stunningly beautiful Mull of Kintyre. A part of the world made famous by Paul McCartney and Wings, ther eis so much to see and do, from the bustling main town of Campbeltown to the remote and rugged grandeur of the peninsula's coastline. Oh, and we find a carving of one of DeNiro's ancestors on an old tombstone. Goo...

In search of more of the Scotland you may not know, we head for the West coast to explore what they call the most beautiful shortcut in the world. The Crinan Canal cuts through the majestic landscape of the Kintyre Peninsula. Once a bustling trade route it's now one of the most awesome cycling and walking routes we've ever seen. The canal starts near Lochgilphead and its 8 mile length passes sc...

Well that was the plan, but the Scottish weather had other ideas. Rained off Bute, diverted to Gourock, well and truly soggy after Daisy sprung a leak and dodging a Nuclear submarine on the way back, it was certainly a me...

Very well done, both of you!
Hello from up the river in bonny Clackmannanshire. I really enjoyed that. Those weeks beaches along the Forth are lovely.
Awesome vlog! Sunday is always a good day because the latest video from “Scotland on a shoestring” is ready for viewing. I’m sorry, but I think the cheese scone looked like a hockey puck. That end of the road is a little scary. Only girls cook? 😅 Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Thanks as always. We were relieved we didn’t wake up any closer to the cliff edge than we started.
Cool! 🚂
I love trains!❤😊
It is so sad to see a cemetery not looked after. The maze is not for me -very claustrophobic. But the Kelpies are! One day i hope to get there. So incredibly beautiful.! Congratulations on the half marathon.
Thank you. I need to get back and find the middle of that maze.
The kilns were beautiful. Another great adventure.
They are amazing, I had no idea they were there.
I loved the Railway museum! Luckily at the first beach you didn't take your drone or it would have been sucked into the windmills.. As for the concrete on the beach I believe they are anti tank barriers. Possible some of the other pieces of concrete might have been WWII related also. Loved the joke about racing De Niro....
Hey, we visited Dollar, Dollar Glen, Castle Campbell, Muckhart (including the church and cemetery you were in) while we were in Scotland! All of those videos are still coming up on our channel in our Scotland road trip playlist later this autumn (but there is a bit of our visit to Muckhart that our local friend in Scotland posted on his channel, showing our walk from the Muckhart Inn up to the church and our visit inside).
There’s loads to see in that area. The walk over the top from the Castle looks nice too.
@@scotlandonashoestring indeed, plenty for you guys to go back to see.
I love Bex’s crocheting. Has she ever made a jumper for DeNiro? I’m relieved that you didn’t really have to dump Daisy. So much has gone into her.
DeNiro doesn’t have a cricket jumper yet… boy who knows.
Great thumbnail !
Ta
I loved this episode! Beautiful day and photography! Zooming is the best!😊 Be well, stay safe all. 😊❤👍🥰💜
Thank you! You too!
Great thumbnail! Serious question: was that cheese scone worth walking 10k for? Btw, if you’re ever near Helensburgh when you’re back home in Scotland, there’s a nice amount of charity shops on the front that we’ve had good luck in. :)
Serious answer.. Cheese scones aren’t worth walking across the street for 🤪
@@scotlandonashoestring In USA, maybe its a California thing: cheese bagels, cheese bagels with jalapeno's (actually very good), whole wheat bagels, blue berry bagels, onion bagels. That cheese scones did not look that great, it's a good thing to educate us yank's. Imagine the look we would get if a yank went in a scone shop and said, "oooh, that cheese scone looks good"!
Bex is fine as my dear ol' mum would have said BLUE and green should never be seen! N&Nx
My granny said: Red and green should never be seen Except on the back of an Irish queen. Bex would make a very good Irish queen. 😊
Blue and green should never be seen, except in the washing machine. Red & green .... if those 2 colours can't be together, there goes Christmas. How about if the colour combination can be found in nature, it can be worn anytime, anywhere?
That’s the version we know !
Shame the land just erodes so quickly. Good they realized and didn't develop a pad parking close. Always enjoy watching DiNiro run on the beach. He is so happy and free. That pie was a meal.. Enjoy and happy travels.
It’s surprising how much of it is gone, and the rate is accellerating
Blimey. All that erosion. I was going to mark that park up but it probably won't be there by the time we get there! "Look at her hits!!!" 😂😂😂😂 I absolutely love The Mallard! Glad yer vand didn't drop off the cliff!!!!!!!
It’s a great wee park up. It’s a long straight road to nowhere so you’ve got plenty of road that hasn’t fallen into the sea yet :)
Week isn't complete without a DeNiro Zoomies session 😀I remember going to the train museum many years ago, looks like they've added to it a lot since. Fab cardi Bex, love the colours, I'm in the middle of my 1st ever blanket!
Thanks! Zoomies make things better :)
@@scotlandonashoestring They do!
Pacific Serenaders, oh my. Good thing you passed on that album. That's what they would have played in the 70's at tourist locations. Too twangy. I can suggest a better album, but it must be listened to from start to finish, like Led Zepplin iv. Group is Hui Ohana, title of album Hui Ohana. Very much enjoyed the video, interesting, fun, and watched it 3 times.
Ooh, I’ll check that out if it’s on t’ music streaming thing.
@@scotlandonashoestring If possible, get the lyric's, translation to english.
I live near York 😁
It’s a lovely town!! Some of my favourite museums are there too :)
@@scotlandonashoestring I like rip on too 😁 if I’d known you were around I would’ve liked to have met you 😁
Peebles? Really? Much better places in the Borders methinks.
We’re getting through them.
30 years ago when I used to take horses to Ayr racecourse and stay overnight in b&b the town was so very grubby and run down. We couldnt wait to go home 😮 Dundee was no better.
Dundee used to be awful! One of the few places we worked in pairs. It’s much better now, they’ve spent a fortune.
That large kiln was really impressive. You could definitely take some very atmospheric pics there.
Be really good to get inside, I wonder how far back they went and what’s left up on top.
Beautiful lighting effect with the lime kiln arches. Well done.
Thank you. It did look very atmospheric.
God, you're a moany git.
Another great video! We had wanted to drive all the way down to Campbeltown (especially since we are Campbells) but decided to just spend the afternoon strolling around Tarbert before heading back to our AirBnB in Crarae Furnace. We enjoyed seeing Tarbert again in your video! Great photo of the boats, even with your phone!
Thank you. We’ll be heading back that way soon. Looking at the old maps there is so much still to see there.
@scotlandonashoestring looking forward to those videos!
Ah, Prestonpans...now I must go look up which of my ancestors lived there and why.
It was a busy old place, Mining, fishing, salt, pottery, loads going on.
So interesting! That grave from 1675 surprised me!
Yeah. Don’t know if that’s a replacement stone or what. Need to get back there for a better look.
Loved this!😊🎉❤
Thank you!!
😊❤🎉
Back in the day I went on a coach trip from Essex up to Scotland and Pitlochery and Rumbling Bridge were one of the destinations along with Edinburgh Castle and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs! This was in 1969! Thanks for showing it to us. I read a thing on IG that said something along the lines of 'allowing dogs to save our lives but not letting them indoors', ie castles is a mistake. Thanks
That would be some drive! An excellent intro to the wee country though.
Cool kiln pictures
Thank you. Never been there before, very unexpected.
Lime was used in so many processes . Interesting to see the Kilns. Seeing old boats deteriorating is sad , upkeep costs are very high. Ah grave stones are very interesting. I like the witches grave stone story about keeping her from rising. DeNiro zoomies are full of pure joy .
I was surprised by the boats. There must be quite a lot of money slowly sinking there.
What a neat perspective of the Forth Bridges. Enjoyed the views of the harbors and boating community. Living near a fairly large harbor, seeing how the Scot's do it rounds out the total experience. Watched a few short's afterwards and I had to contain my laughter!
We do love harbours and the sea, something there good for the soul.
Very cool kilns! I really appreciate your respect for others around you while filming.
We try!
Another awesome vlog! Love seeing DeNiro romping about 😊 Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Such a beautiful country…so much history.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice of the security man let you in to see the castle. Those lime kilns are impressive! Interesting about the witch. Aw. Shame you can't see the salt pans. Almost looks like a Cornish tin mine. Have finally caught up with all your vids!!!! Thanks for showing us around! Ju 😁
All of them?? Oh no, we'll need to get more made ;)
@@scotlandonashoestring 🤣 Also... have given up on learning to crochet!!!!! Epic fail on my part! Sorry Bex!!!!!!! 😭😭😭
That's some kiln works!! Amazing to see it all still there. Wonder what they mean by 'Rooms' on the gravestones, can't find anything on Mr Google about it, very odd!
It's still cool to find new things like that. We've been to, erm, one or two graveyards and not seen that wording before.
@@scotlandonashoestring Very! Haha - have to keep an eye out for more!
Good to have a pootle! I wonder if the harbour is closed because of the amount of wrecked hulls submerged...?
Yeah, not sure. Lots of money worth of boats rotting away there.
So cool to see your video clips from Inveraray, Kilmartin, Lochgilphead and Ardrishaig as it reminded us of when we were in all four of those places (which we've shared on our channel). We thought about going up to the Crinan basin and the sea lock where the canal starts but didn't make it. We did cross the end of it where it exits into Loch Fyne at the south end of Ardrishaig (when we were on our way to Tarbert). Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventures as it brought back good memories!
We’d never been to Crinan, it kind of blew us away!
@@scotlandonashoestring we can see why. Wish we'd been able to fit it into our trip.
And some beautiful weather to complete the scene 👌🏻
That just finished it all off, what an amazing place!
It certainly is 🤩
I love greyhounds they are incredibly sweet natured❤
They’re just the best!
😂😂Puffin or Nuffin'😂😂 😂😂Grillers in the Mist!😂😂 We write postcards too! Bex has inspired me to learn to crochet! 🧶 🐧 (couldn't find a puffin picture so a penguin will have to do!!!!)
Be careful, Crochet is addictive!!
I live in New Zealand and my surname is Pennycuick, so have always been interested in the family roots. Thanks for the video!
Our pleasure!
Who remembers the Russian designer Erte,I always used to love the art deco fashion prints with the beautiful fashion and the elegant grey hounds,they are lovely dogs
We didn’t but we do now!! Awesome.
I think that, as much as I loved Skye and am definitely headed back to explore the Outer Hebrides, my couple of hours with the Kelpies at the end of my visit to Scotland have stuck with me the most. They are magnificent.
We’re definitely keen to get back to the Outer Hebrides, loved it there more than just about anywhere else we’ve been.
Wonderful! 😊❤
Thank you! 😊
How wonderful ❤
It really was!
How cool is that! ❤️❤️❤️
