Holidaying In Scotland's Wildest Town 🏴

- 🏴 What do you think of when you imagine the United Kingdom? Big cities? Football? Buckingham Palace? Well what if I told you there is another part of the UK which is culturally a million miles from those cliches. A place so wild that even most Brits have never heard of it. A place that doesn't even use the same calendar as the rest of the country and celebrates Christmas in January. Believe me? Well, watch and learn about it all for yourself as I take you to the edge of the nation.
Up the Gers!

Bald participated in a customary Scottish holiday. He started in Glasgow but got absolutely wasted and found himself in Aberdeen. 😂
I had to look up how far that is,
@@mrpopenfresh HAHAHAHA nice one bro
The only colours in Aberdeen are the bloody traffic lights! 🚦
Lol
As you do.
For anyone interested the plane did indeed crash land in Shetland in 1981. It crashed due to landing gear failure. The aircraft suffered damage on landing and as a result it wasn't economically viable to repair it. No one was seriously injured.
Because of bad weather the aircraft diverted to Sumburgh. On approach the pilot tried to lower the landing gear but all three gear legs remained up. The aircraft overshot and circled while the pilot used the emergency manual system, but only the right-hand leg extended and locked. Further attempts to lower all gear legs were without success and the pilot made a gear-up landing. The main
cabin door could not be opened but the occupants evacuated the aircraft via the overwing emergency exit.
Damage was minimal and once lifted onto its undercarriage, the aircraft was moved to a stand. It remained there for some months until a French team arrived to remove the four Astazou engines and other useful parts. What was left was abandoned in a quiet part of the airport.
It remained there for 26 years until the runway was extended, but instead of being scrapped it was saved and now resides in a private garden in North Roe in the north of Shetland.
Ooo that's shet
I bet it was a BOEING 😅
Interestingly, to any aeroplane geeks out there, it was a Potez 840, a 1960s French four turboprop engined 18-passenger executive monoplane, the last aircraft to use the Potez name. Ultra rare. Only eight were ever built.
Very rare plane aswell! It was a French manufacturer, not a lot of those were made.
Thanks for the info!
Benjamin survived Russian prison, Mauritania, the Darien gap and a lot of other dangerous places. But he ends up messing up his ankle in Glasgow, and being spat at by a seagull on Foula.
Imagine if that had happened in the South American jungle?
was it not a Fulmar which only threatens to spit on him?

cool thanks for that history mate
Thanks for posting.
that was nice side story 👌
That answers that question, thanks 👍
The aircraft with the registration number F-BMCY is a Potez 840, which experienced a significant incident on March 29, 1981. Operated by the Club Aéronautique de Paris, the aircraft was forced to divert to Sumburgh Airport in the Shetland Islands due to poor weather. During the approach, the crew encountered a technical problem with the undercarriage, leading to a belly landing. Despite the challenging situation, all seven occupants survived uninjured, but the aircraft was deemed damaged beyond repair.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Did the same research before reading the comments... Seems it's a bad callsign / registration number. While I found the information you stated, I also found another current one with a tragic incident. A tragic incident occurred at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on May 29, 2024. A person fell into a running jet engine of a KLM airlines Embraer jet plane with callsign F-BMCY, which was about to take off on a flight to Denmark. The individual tragically lost their life in this horrifying event.
@@Opa_Andre in 10000 years, no one will be able to do anything becauase every possible number combination will have had one or more incidents since the beginning of mankind.
Very rare aircraft - only 8 were built. Actually 2 of this modification.
I love that the lady in Foula was taking care of her ponys and when you wanted to leave the island she was at the airport and had to show Backpacker Ben how to fasten his seat belt 😂
40:28 "This is a letterbox..."
Ben: "Ohhhh" 😄
Ben sure was struggling with that task.
Bald.. you speaking Dutch and saying you grew up in Holland is one of the things I never expected from you hahaha, legend!
How long did he live there ? Apparently it's in Dordrecht although he pronounced it like Hoendrecht :D
I am from Dordrecht… didn’t expect this!😅
Ja heb hem daar niet eerder over gehoord
Godverdomme
Ja leuk! 😅❤
10:00 'Imagine sacrificing your life and your future for this nation only for your nation to turn into this' Powerful words and very depressing. We need change
Make UK Great Again 🤩
My grandfather lost two brothers in WW1, such a terrible waste.
Not just in the UK also in Germany and all Western Countries
Not a very good example. Britain has one of the highest standards of living in the world!
I live in poor and harsh Russia and I laugh at how people in UK think that they live badly. Are you out of your mind or what?
@@andyzorrX its about the standard we hold ourselves up to. Our country is falling apart slowly u can see it clearly. Not my problem russia has poor living standards, like comparing apples and oranges. No point
It's summer time in Scotland... and Bald is wearing three layers.
if you waited instead of trying to be an early comment, you'd see where he's going is chilly. the high there today won't even be 60F some of us play chess, some of us play chutes and ladders.
Summer is our favourite day of the year
Scotland doesn't have a summer
@@wraithstrongopark what's your point?
@@alec4025didnt you understand? damn 😎
The reason the closed hotel has the 'open to non-residents' sign is that until the late 1970s you could only get a drink on Sundays in hotels and then only if you were a 'bona fide traveller'!
And have a drink after 22:30 at night, hotels had different licensing rules back in the day🍺
My cousin from Dunfermline visited us here in England when he had recently turned 18 (UK drinking age). When I came in to the living room around noon he was sat reading the newspaper."Tam" I asked "are ye no fir the Pub today?". "Ha Ha" he retorted snidely "it's Sunday". "And?" I questioned. "Pubs are shut on Sunday" was the stern reply. "Not in England they're not" was my informed response. The draft from his hastened exit of the room turned a page on the abandoned newspaper! Wherever you're suppin' Tam thanks for the memory.
Honestly that bird spitting I can’t stop laughing 😆
It spat at him I spat my tea
are you still laughing?
@@maelcrusty8243 To this day, he continues to laugh.

Fulmar. See also how St Kilda islanders obtained oil for cooking.
The aircraft is a Potez 840, a French designed 4 engine 18 passenger plane. Produced between 1961 - 1967 there was only 8 ever built. It was diverted to Sumburgh because of bad weather but the landing gear failed to deploy and on the 29th March 1981 at 2pm, it landed but overshot the runway, suffered minor damage but was written off, it then remained at the airport for 26 years until it was moved to the private garden. It had 7 souls on board but all escaped alive.
No wonder it’s in someone’s back yard if the French designed it.
Why was it moved to someone's private garden?..... I'm lazy to google I know...

Yeah to be honest I wasn't expecting Bald saying anything close to that :/
And Bald agreeing with them made me respect him even more 👍

@@beatnik6806you’d probably hate how he feels about migrants coming from Latin America
27:34 That's a french 1960s business jet that diverted to Sumburgh, in the south of the Shetland Islands due to bad weather. On approach, none of the three landing gears were able to be lowered, so they had to land without the landing gear extended. There were no casualties and only minor damage, but the jet was left at the airport and later stripped of all useful parts by the owners and then shipped to this private property in North Roe, in the north of the Shetland Islands for some reason
Strange looking jet ;)
@@kattn01 Turboprop plane to be precise, yeah
American here. Scotland is wonderful. The summer we went was unbeatable. The people we met in Edinburgh and Glasgow were all fantastic. *And I never want to hear another peep about rubbish British food* . Every meal we ate was wonderful: the seafood, the salmon, the lamb, yes even the 3 helpings of haggis with taters and neeps I ate one night. Alba gu brath!
Good to hear, you are welcome back anytime.
Well thats scottish not british 😂 british food seems bad
Most Americans that criticize British food don’t have passports. Travel broadens the mind. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
@@doc7569 How contrarian AND combative of you to say. Very nice. What an absolute delight you are.
@@aleco678 Same food, slightly different names. There is absolutely no difference in food
I live in Port Glasgow!!
Clune Park street went dowmhill in the 90s/2000s- it was filled with drug dealers and addicts,the houses were even sold on auctions for as little as £2000. Landlords scooped them up,filled them with anyone on dole as they get their rents paid by the government (guaranteed cheque every month for the landlord) and then they let the houses rot , didn't repair them, didn't do them up inside etc.
There was murders , someone was killed and body hid in the floorboards too.
Its said that those landlords are basically hanging on to them so theyll get bought out for the land as they're too dangerous to live in ,too old and rotted to fix up and make liveable again.
You should have went to Ferguson's shipyard,you were right next to it at the statues or Newark Castle was right there too, for history of the town.
Also ,its a pity you didnt get any interviews in the auctioneer after the game, the despair would have been amazing to see 😂😂
Enjoyed the video!

I nearly spit out my coffee when you popped up wearing full Viking regalia. 😂😂😂
It's at about 21:40. ❤

I lost my coffee when the bird spat at him 😂

Very sad . Many areas of the US look like this. Upstate Ny looks like this , towns in PA, west Virginia, the midwest , Southern states . Factories moved out . Our country has been sold out by politicians who lack foresight and who pander to billionaires.
I live in the Appalachian Highlands and yes, there is similar ruination here. Strangely enough, early settlers to this area were largely Scottish. My heritage is Scottish.

Mr. Bald and Backpacker Ben deliver again with real content and authentic people. Thank you for the journey and the laughs! Can't wait for the next journey. Cheers from Florida!
He can put that into his Revolot account
Godverdomme! I have been watching you Chanel for a longgggg time already and now I find out you grew up in my home town of Dordrecht?! I checked the street and it’s a side street from the Frans lebretlaan. That’s where both my parents are born and grew up. Damn men. We might have played on the streets there as kids when I went to visit my grand parents.
Like realy wtf mennnnnn!
should say potverdikky, it's more polite.
At first I was thinking, why would Bald be embarrassed by old ladies watching him vlog only to burst out laughing when he turned up as a viking soldier at 21:50. Amazing dedication to the bit.
those exiled to Australia definitely had the last laugh
Benjamin bullying Benjamin is one of the best things lmao
If I was Backpacker Ben I wouldn't believe a word Bald says by now.
Especially when he translates other languages for him.
Don't know why Ben still falls for it.
I lived on the mainland for 10 years, and now, thanks to you, I must visit Scotland and all the historic islands I never knew about. Absolutely marvelous to watch the Viking treasures. 😊

2 most funny things ever. Backpacker Ben doing his "morning intro" before the trip and when on the remote island that guy "Are you filming me?" (ya). " You should ask first" then Mr Bald asks him lol
21:39 funniest transition “imagine if you will…” hahaha
That island with green swaths if empty grassland with shiny sun in the sky, just few dilapidated houses was the most peaceful i have ever seen
I would like to feel that even for 15minutes
found this online about the aeroplane at 27:46

What I don't understand is we complain over and over again about a housing problem, yet thousands of buildings stand empty. Why didn't they use those buildings for new housing before they all rotted away?
the main housing problem is that there aren't houses in areas people want to live. to be blunt, there is a reason why those houses were abandoned-there are few jobs, the shipbuilding and port industries that caused this town to grow are a shell of what they once were. people want houses in oxford, cambridge, london and the like, not here.
They do, thst plot is being redeveloped. Have a look at the Glasgow subreddit for flats a s houses with damp problems and bad insulation. That's why some are torn down for redevelopment.
@@hoixthegreat8359 All you say is true, but a better government could still use those areas, by making special advantages for industries that don't have location requirements to settle there, or by moving government business to more remote locations, increasing the workforce.
This has worked in my country, when the textile industries died because everything was being made in bangladesh and vietnam, new IT and electronic industries got there instead, with tax cuts or other benefits to make it worthwhile for those companies to make that move.
the housing problem is because of mass immigration, not lack of houses
@@hoixthegreat8359 Are you saying those buildings couldn't/shouldn't be used to house the poor destitute souls arriving here from the war torn continent of mainland Europe?

One of my most memorable vacations ever was a driving tour of Scotland, my wife driving and me partaking of as many drams of single malt per day as possible. From several days on Islay, then working out way up the west side through Oban past Ben Nevis into Inverness, on to Glen Morangie and up to my Castle Varrich near Tongue my forebearers clan Mackay. Damn we missed the ferry to Orkney Islands and Highland Park, maybe next time. Traversing south through Speyside lost count of the distilleries. Did stop for Iain Burnett’s truffles and stocked up, pairs well with so many single malts. Finished up with Stirling Castle before heading to Glasgow to catch the train to London. All of the Scotts we met and interacted with were amazing, welcoming and friendly. Best vacation ever!
Scots, not Scotts...
Wait what?! You grew up in Dordrecht? Dutchie here. I've missed that somewhere hah. I've family living there. Bassie en Adriaan, one of my favorite shows back then 😎
Great vid my man! Enjoyed watching again!!
Full of surprises our Bald
Godverdomme! Quite funny how he can be seen as very rude by religious people when he says that.
I'm not related to poor convicts, my family didn't immigrate to Australia until the 1950s, best decision ever my grandad made $1million as an engineer for a new patent he created, back when companies valued their workers. Scotland has some of the world's most smartest intellectuals, and where eversmart Scots go like Australia they do well. It's depressing to see those grand old homes become disused, that is so disrespectful. Here in Australia they would be heritage listed and preserved

Superb series in so many ways, but would it be possible making your sidekick at least pretend he's enjoying the ride?
The happiest I've seen Ben was in the bloopers. He likes to have a cool image. It's funny to have opposite characters in a video. Makes for good entertainment. Like the 3 stooges. You have a serious typically unhappy guy next to happier and dumb characters.

Hey Bald I think your friend Benjamin has short term memory loss. He was showed how to attach the shoulder strap when you guys first headed to the Island. But on the return trip, it was as if he was never was shown and had to figure it out all over again.
You're on to something. The guy was headed somewhere close to the Arctic circle - and he forgot to take a jacket!

@@JohnDoe-tv4zfNobody will ever be excited to see you evidently.
Those pods are an absolute rip off. I did a 23 hour ferry from Rosyth to Bruges many years ago and i snoozed on just about every seat on the ship. Apart from the one in the pod i paid a premium for. At one point the guy seated in the one behind me had decided to stretch out for a sleep under the seats and when i looked down, his head was staring back up at me....between my legs lol

20:12 I worked in that hotel in 1984. Flippin awesome memories of Shetland (where my Grandfather hails from).
I find it so jarring to see this guy in Scotland, after watching his videos for so many years. Funny part is I've lived in a lot of the places he visited, such as Port Glasgow. So many valid points, such as the Clunes estate. Was funny to see the mention of the shipyards decline, as I work in the remaining shipyards left in Glasgow. The industry has dramatically declined, however, recently business has picked up again, due to the new orders of the new line of frigates, for the Royal Navy. Hope to see you back again Bald 👍
Welcome to Scotland!

One of my favourite RUclipsrs, visiting my favourite Island, as soon as I saw the intro it was a smile from one cheek to another with genuine excitement.
I use to live in the Shetland Islands in Baltasound, Unst and I miss it dearly.
This made my week seeing this this video.
Thank you for visiting the lovely island of Shetland, it's an area of the UK that is unspoilt and makes you proud to be from the UK.
I love your video's it really feels like we're going on the adventure with you, for me it felt like being back there.
I've watched countless numbers of your videos and have developed a love for seeing ex-Soviet countries.
I'm so genuinely happy you visited the Shetland islands, its such a beautiful place, for me I look at it as freedom.
I'm not afraid to say - it is my "happy place" lol.
If your panning a holiday I'd recommend going to Scotland and spending your money there, the scenery is lovely and the people are first class (from a UK citizen)
but the rain
And the midges
Are there no tress in Scotland?
When the UK needed him most, he returned
Beautiful sky on that little island. Thanks for sharing.
The Scotland episodes are in the top 3 and thanks for them bald !!! 👊🏴
😂😂😂... loved that you made him take the boat home by himself.
😂😂😂 OMG this was so much fun. This is the first video I am seeing from you and I have had such a laugh. I am planning a trip to scotland with a friend and I searched for recent uploads. Gosh thanks for your humor

Thanks lad. You bring the whole country together. And all the other countries as well.
Hats off❤😂😅😅
Thanks, the visit to Foula and brings back memories from when I visited 30 years ago and that phone box was working. I camped near the airfield in bad weather and used it’s restrooms as my camp site facility. It’s an amazing place. It has the second highest sea cliffs in the uk which have a huge 200ft fissure in the middle called “”Da Sneck Ida Smaalie”. Also on the mountain you can find the wreckage of several plane crashes where planes into the only mountain within thousands of miles of sea. Also in the nesting season it is dangerous to walk without being dive bombed by “bonxies’, big sea birds defending their nest. I remember that despite being seemingly peaceful there seemed to be arguments and feuds between neighbours, particularly over who owns what land. Also has amazing sea arches and apparently wreckage can be found on the shore, including from from HMS Oceanic which sank along the coast.
Haha so wholesome how the pony girl talked to you on the island with the ponies, and then a couple hours later she was there again helping Ben with his seatbelt
