    I thought I’d miss your adventures on the boat, but must admit as long as the two of you go anywhere by any means it’s a wonderful thing to be part of as viewers, always interesting, always puts a smile on my face, thank you, and happy anniversary to both of you;)

    You two are just delightful!! Two landlubbers at the northern most point of Scotland being side eyed by seals divebombed by vicious gulls and chilling with puffins!!! Waiting to enjoy your sandwiches and crisps!!! You've brightened my day no end!! Hope you'll do a lot more around Scotland!!! Thanks so much!!

    This is every bit as interesting as your narrowboat vlogs. I love wild and woolly places like north Scotland, so this was great for me. Also props to you for respecting the wildlife and using land camera only. You have again brought a smile to my face, so thanks gents.

    In Dutch "Groot" is actually pronounced as "Groat", so your explanation makes absolute sense!

    In 1998 I was on a tour with a bunch of fellow Scottish country dancers from northern California. We stayed a night or two in Thurso and then, along with our bus, boarded the ferry to Stromness. We stayed several nights in Kirkwall and explored from one end of "Mainland" (the main Orkney island) to the other. Fascinating place. "Land of my high endeavor, land of the lousy weather, land of my heart forever, SCOTLAND THE BRAVE!"

    I love the videos of you traveling to different places along the canals.
    When you take us around and show us everything and tell us the history of those places, it's so interesting.
    Even though I enjoy your homestead, I hope you can still take us down the canals.
    Wishing you health and happiness.🚣💙

    Jan de Groot was my ancestor. The De Groots were given there name some 4-500 years ago and is one of the oldest families in Holland. Most are associated with Delft where 3 of them were burgomasters of the town over about 150 years. Hugo de Groot was 5 times burgomaster and a founder of international law. He is honoured with a memorial to him in the town square. A namesake of Jan was also 4 times burgomaster of Delft. His son became ambassador to Sweden and his offspring stayed there married Swedish wives and eventually my grandmother was born. The name developed into Groth (Swedish armaments manufactures) and then into Groves when they immigrated into England in the 1800’s.
    Hope this is interesting to you. Really enjoying your move into ‘highlanders’.
    Cheers

    Nice to see you both again and thanks for properly researching and getting the info right! I get so hacked off with folk who just perpetrate the same nonsense and stereotypes about Scotland. Some of it is cringe-making! When you have the time and dosh, you'd love visits to Orkney and Shetland. Very different in geology and culture but both packed with amazing history and sites. Folk generally have no idea how much further North Shetland is, and how close it is to Norway. Cheers guys and thanks for another lovely vlog.

I now want to do the entire route around Scotland and see all the scenery. So keep up the trips so I can make a list to see and do when I get over there.

    This was a lot of fun. I love the Jeep Wrangler - keep on the maintenance schedule as if it's a six cylinder problems may crop up otherwise. Shawn, your presentation as a RUclips personality (because that's what you are on this end of the kaleidoscope) has improved so much since I first saw you both out before Silver Fox. Colin seems born to it but you have grown into it and I dare say (dare I say?) that you could hold an episode or two on your own at this point. Well, maybe Otis could help. Colin needs a vacation to work on the radio station. Maybe you could do a history of Scottish pubs?
