- The final part of UK's greatest roads trip with myself and @baldandbankrupt ended in Scotland! We finally made it after 3 long days of driving and seeing the wonders of Britain. What we was not expecting was Scotland to be our favourite place! We first made it to Glasgow in hunt for Scottish cuisine, haggis and Irn-Bru! Before heading through the highlands to the finishing point at John o Groats, what a journey it was! 🇬🇧

big up people of Scotland! loved it there 😎
Show us red head of Britain too 😁
You should have visited the towns in Scottish Borders
I love Scotland
Scotlands great pal just great
Where's Harald Baldr been?
Do more of these with bald , Ireland would be class after seeing u go across England wales and Scotland
I hope they dress up like pretty sheep and smile real big on there visit.
Great shout that like. You just know it would be gold already.
"We're not a couple, he' my dad." 😂👍
Honestly a brilliant 3 part series guys that was excellent British banter the entire time
Love Scotland! I hitchhiked all over UK & Ireland many years back, but didn't make it all the way to the northernmost point. So many legends gave me a ride...more than 100 people! Cheers🍻
I have lived in Scotland all my life and can honestly say that the whole ‘animosity’ thing is not as bad as you were making out at the beginning. Sure you might get 1 person in 1000 that would show you maybe some distaste, but the majority of Scots are very welcoming and hospitable people.
Was thinking the same thing they kinda of blew it a bit out of proportion think they did that with a few things in this video.
it's a Bold statement saying the Scottish despise the English i didn't find that at all and I've spent a lot of time in Glasgow with my Scouse accent i love Glasgow
Within 'English culture', Scouse is really Irish and 50% of Glasgow can been see to be Irish.
It’s all banter. I’m very aware it’s fine
@@BackpackerBen i thought so...the so called "Rough" areas and cities are always friendlier
@@spacemanclips and ironically despite blaming the English for invasion the Scottish have invaded Ireland way more times than the English have. The amount of Irish the Scottish slaughtered is off the scale, if you do some research on ancient history you’ll get the true picture. Plus all that shared heritage comes from mass rape and pillaging of towns and villages right across Ireland, by Scottish soldiers.
Are Scousers English?
British humour is the best thank you guys so much from Canada. I really get a kick out of all your videos.
Lmaooooo that joke about the girl from Bristol! Class!😂😂😂
The Bristol girls can take the banter ;)
As an Englishman living in Scotland it’s hilarious how worried you were, as long as you don’t slag off the country they’re sound.
It’s all banter mate cmon. We were not worried
the guy who looked like Bald from the back ha ha brilliant he even had the same Jacket on
Great trilogy with Mr Bald...would love to see you travel up the east of England together too!
Awesome.. love your channel.. discovered your channel because of Mr. BALD!
You two make a great team, I really enjoyed the videos!
Glad to see you both together!
This is the first Backpacker Ben video I've watched and I just subscribed. I'm only 5 minutes in but I watched Bald's version of this trip. Your manners are admirable - on Bald's videos you're obviously staying quiet because it's his baby and here Bald is hanging in the background a bit. I know it's not a big deal but it's nice to see.
Thanks for watching Casey! :)
Lovely to see you guys together.. awesome video..cool wet weather tho but you guys always make it happen...thanks
The Video was Adventurous and great again.
Nice one ben really enjoying this series
Thank you mate
Great thank you both for the tour.x
Glad you enjoyed it
I love the alternate look of Bald's videos, thanks for do this.
Love it mate
I'm addicted to Backpacker Ben videos brilliant stuff.
Welcome to scotland 💙 loved the banter guys very funny keep up the good work. 🇬🇧🏴🏴
love this series mate!
Thanks mate
Scotland is beautiful! And the people have the best sense of humour 😎
Lovely to see old Grassmarket again! Edinburgh is a great city! Never had the deep fried Mars bar though and don't think I will.
Loving the videos, Edinburgh is great. Did a ghost hunt at the vaults there and was pretty active.
bloody brilliant
Was waiting for this 😁😁😁
Hiya pal, we've loved these videos and subbed to you because of them. Your others look really interesting too!
Really glad you enjoyed yourselves here in Scotland and we didn't show ourselves up- see, we don't all hate the English, just the fannies 😝
Appreciate that mate! 😎
What beautiful and hospitality people wow wonderful country ❤️😊
Awesome video dude. Scotland looks like good craic
Good fun mate
Loved this series with bald, used to live in Plymouth myself and now living in Inverness so it’s nice to see you journey across the U.K. those Inverness hotel prices are bevause of the time of year you came, height of tourist season so prices go up by about £80!
Great video and the one in Blackpool Lancashire. I laughed at the bin view in Inverness.
Stunning scenery
Edinburgh is one of my fave cities i was last there in 2006 though been a long time! Great video Ben
So glad you saw Edinburgh, the most beautiful city of all, absolutely stunning
Yeh Edinburgh is beautiful. Haven’t been there for years, I must visit again. Great night out aswell, went on a stag do up there and we had a great time.
I remember a Scottish male in a Flixbus from Hamburg to Amsterdam. I take a seat behind him and he started talking to me. He told me that he like to fight with English people and he told some stories about his fights 😂 With a volume that everybody could understand him in the Bus. My feel was very uncomfortable but I was afraid to cut off the conversation with him.
Never feelt luckier to exit a Bus after this 😂
And that’s why I was worried to film 😆😆😆😆 heard many stories like this
@@BackpackerBen I think that in all prejudices of nations is a core of verity but scumbags you have in all countries. I also want to visit Scotland one time and I see there live mostly nice people and it would be a adventure :)
For some reason Scottish racism against the English is acceptable, whilst the English massively subsidise the Scottish economy. The dirty secret, little reported, is that either the English don't care because it's too far away, or the English closer by, would rather they f*** off a go independent.
Their appetite for independence tends to rise and fall with the oil price. Interestingly several areas who hold the oil supplies say they would seek independence from an independent Scotland, which would be an interesting outcome for the racist Scottish nationalists,.
Typical loudmouth Jock!
He was probably the biggest bullshitter in Scotland at the time and had probably never been in a fight in his life. There's plenty of folk like that here.
Love the duo
Haggis Supper and a can of ginger, I bet that sorted your hangover right out. Glad you had a good time, a lot of these places have a bad reputation but in reality the people would give you the shirts off of their own backs if you were ever in need.
Scotland looks beautiful. It really reminds me of driving through the Appalachian mountains of America. I can see why so many of the Scottish and Irish settled there.
Britain weather and the Red meat wow...- Loved Trainspotting movie.. Ewan movie...
Seen in Anthony Bourdain videos visit to SCOTLAND .. MARS fried ones....
Lovely mate.. Ben...
Bloody hell great vlog
The real home of the deep fried mars bar belongs to, “The Carron” in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire.
Also great live music this Friday 1st July, up in Ullapool, at Argyll Hotel.
Amazing trip. Thank you for confirming I never need to go to Blackpool
Been Scotland so many times,by train and coach, explored for 3 days on Scottish Citylink pass many times, or wandered around by train, never a problem, never even thought about feeling un safe,even at 3am in morning at Glasgow bus station waiting coach to Aberdeen, love Scotland great place, fantastic scenery.
Beautiful place 😊
Please do Britain again. Absolutely loved this!
Haggis is bloody wonderful :- Haggis (Scottish Gaelic: taigeis) is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach though now an artificial casing is often used instead.
Before you turn your nose up at it,read the ingredients for hotdogs or cheap beefburgers !
It's really not much different to sausage 'meat'.
Spot on Neil :)
It might be wonderful, but it sounds revolting.
Good one! Anyone watching should visit Glasgow and Edinburgh. I've visited both places and I'd love to go back!
When you come back to the US, let me show you around Vegas, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Keep up the great work, Gentlemen!
I saw the Loch Ness Monster on Lake St, Clair in 1971!
Warms my heart when people who have never been to Edinburgh fall in love with it so quickly. Greatest city in the UK by a long shot, so much culture and energy and vibrancy. Do yourselves a favour and return for a couple of days, you'll have a wonderful time.
not the greatest city in the UK
I’d love to return 😎
@@gazriley624 And yet you neglected to mention what IS (in your opinion) the greatest one. Scared we'll all laugh at you when we compare it to Edinburgh? ;-)
@@iankogneeto4882 yes i forgot...it's Liverpool followed by London i do like Edinburgh and Leeds though but the thing about Edinbourgh is they knocked down my fave Pub the Tap o' Lauriston and it's a long time since I've been there it's not the greatest as it's too small and once you go not too far out the centre you hit Leith and some rough housing estates
@@gazriley624 I enjoyed Liverpool...definitely one of the best UK Cities but like Edinburgh you don't have to venture far from the centre before you hit some right sh*t holes...same as every city really.
If you ever go up to Scotland again near to Loch Ness then drive 30 minutes away to Glen Affric. It is stunning!
I came to your videos via Balds channel, but really enjoying them.
Thanks mate! Welcome
"What's different about the haggis supper?"
"It comes with chips."
🤣 only in Glasgow ! 😂
The chips are the supper part...haggis without the chips is called a single haggis.
"Supper" is used in all chippies in Scotland to mean with chips
I thought you were supposed to have haggis and neeps?
@@MrDavidc yeah, it's more of a family meal. I've never had Haggis from a chippy before. If you make it at home you make it with neeps and tatties.
The Ben and Ben Show , very good , I like it , the content , of coarse . . Keep on Blogging , thanks .
Hey Ben. Hello from Canada Enjoying the channel, thanks for entertainment!
Thanks Erik 😎😎
10:30 It is insane to me how different the accent is from Englad to Scottland given that the distance is honestly not that big. It is like crossing Texas, accents in here do not change that drastically. Quite fascinating
Lovely Scotland🏴🐻🇬🇧
Haggis is brilliant with brown sauce. The one you had was a chippy version, in batter. Usually it's a bit bigger and round and wrapped in a sheep's stomache and I think it's boiled. I did a pub crawl from Glagow city centre, to the Northen suburbs and probably visited about 15 random pubs and it was all OK.
Cool epic Edinburgh was a treat !=8)
Another great video. Edinburgh looks amazing. Really cool to see that part of the journey that Bald and Bankrupt omitted. Glad I discovered this channel.
Thanks for watching mate
I’m a far eastern Asian , never been to Scotland , but even I know what haggis is , because I watched Anthony Bourdain .
13:05 It looks like the view from the station in Trainspotting where the lads went.
It really does
Good times
10:07 probs been said by now but what he’s saying is that when the sugar tax was introduced in 2018 barr’s changed the recipe to include less sugar and more sweeteners as if they kept it at the same sugar level as the original the can would have been more expensive than it was previously. So it stayed the same price but doesn’t taste as good as it used to.
@Glasgow Rossco agreed mate
Clarinda’s teashop on the goldenmile!
Edinburgh is an awesome city. Edinburgh Festival was amazing when I went. Also hiking up to the top of Arthur's seat has epic views of the whole of the city. Top 5 most beautiful city on Europe. 1 in the UK in my opinion.
lovely to see you in Glasgow but you haven't explored that much of it ?
i love Glasgow and i'm from Liverpool
You should have gone for a pint in the centre of Inverness, you might have enjoyed it more, we have plenty pubs.
So glad you found the deep fried mars bar.
Interesting note is that a lot of the chip shops in Glasgow are run by Italian families that immigrated in the 1920's.
This is why they are so much better than ones in England, well the ones in England that do kebabs as well
@@s125ish do not forget the Italian ice cream
@@s125ish Plenty in Scotland too, serving 'stonners' - sausage wrapped in doner kebab meat and deep fried ... mmmm, congestive heart failure. Delicious!
and deep fried mars bar is their invention not Scottish!
@@thomasoneil9338 sure. i am aware of that. just making sure to get all the details right.
I like these Dad and Son series :D
Been to Edinburgh lots of times it's beautiful.
Agreed!
Nice place, nice people I love to come there one day... Nice bro good video
wauw.....from Harald Balder...to Bald and bankrupt....to you....love your
stuff....I will be watching U
Legend cheers Dave
Iets not forget Simon 🤙
I always go to Scotland by camping as the hotel is a fortune in Highland area.
Nice video Ben from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 ❤
Jokes when you went in that bar boys hahaha brilliant
Thanks for watching mate)
I am not from Scotland, I've never been there, I don't know anybody from Scotland but I love IRN BRU since I was a kid.
The minis done quite well if its gotten you though the entire length of the British Isles, not many cars can boast of that wonder how many miles it added on?
Lovely scotland
This reminds me a little bit of Top Gear trips. Idk why :)
Great video lads 👍🏻
Yous done well getting out of Easterhouse alive 😂😂
That room for £125 was a total rip off
It’s the Highlands for you, all the hotels are extortionate up there. Even a basic B&B can set you back 50/60 quid a night.
The price wasn't too bad actually, for a twin room, I was in inverness in the late 90s, lol, think I paid 40 quid, expected it to be more expensive. Awesome video.
Good idea to neck a bottle of Buckfast before a three hour drive 😃👍
Ben says goodbye like , "Get lost!"
Did you mean Mars bar in batter, we have a chicken and chip shop in Enfield that sells those so it's crazy you couldn't find them in their place of origin xD
Irn-Bru watered down four Loko. weeee. Have fun bru!
Glad you enjoyed Scotland! Also funny that you posted this a few hours after the announcement of a referendum date for Scottish independence next year.
The racist nationalist Krankie announces it everyday - much to her annoyance the majority of Scots consistently vote to stay a part of Great Britain. As a proud Englishman, I wish every Scotsman their independence from massive English subsidies and think they should jump at the chance of EU subjugation.
Result will be the same as the last one, wee krankie will resign like fat alec did last time. Every cloud has a silver lining! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Gosh... you were so close to me... / Edinburgh ❤️
I think the guy outside the bar said “you missed it then, mate. If you didn’t have the sugar you didn’t have the actual taste of it… they might not’ve ruined it though”
So Rainy In Scotland 🏴
Dinnae listen to the stereotypes, we don’t have a problem with the English at all. Maybe a wee problem with Westminster, but not you guys. Scotland is one of the most friendly places to travel to. Glad you enjoyed it and hope we’ve changed your perspective. 😀
Dinnae 😆 quality word. Yeah it’s all rumours 👍👍
They literally had someone say "why doesn't that English tosser get out of my f*cking country". What an embarrassment. But the SNP seem to encourage it.
Lets be honest Sally, nearly half of Scotland does, but it's not at a personal level.
@@spacemanclips It's not half at all. It's a relatively small minority of Saltire flag-shagging Nationalists.
@@spacemanclips WOW what a small insular little brain you must have to assume the 50% of Scots who want independence dont like English folk , it's not about you it never was , how about growing a backbone and be proud to be an English man stand tall and stop pretending you're in a union with folk who you hold in contempt
Edinburgh, most probably one of the best cities in Europe, a beautiful place to visit but not at those hotel prices.....cheaper ones are available.
So glad you did this with Bald as would not have come across your channel otherwise. Been ill at home the past few days and your Pakistan videos have kept me entertained, so thank you.
Hope you guys do another venture together soon, maybe include Simon Wilson for a trio, now that would be a laugh.
Cheers
Steve
One of the worst hotel experiences of my life in Edinburgh - literally a used tampon in the room - seriously contemplated staying the night in the hire car.
Appreciate that Steve 👏🏼😎
Like how when he said its a mini Cooper says "we not a couple" 😂😂😂
The maddest thing is I really enjoy the British videos you both do but I don’t like going round myself😂
IRN BRU. 31.5% ? Smashin that one eh!
My god. We payed 100 quid a night in Edinburgh in 4* hotel 500m from train station in July 4 years ago. Weather was nice except day on arrival. We took a really long walk to the sea. Saw the zoological garden and the Queen Elizabeth II ship. A few Scottish pints and walked back. Really nice city. Did also a bus tour to a lake, castles and a whisky distillery.
