I acc live in Scotland. If your planning to go to Edinburgh I would recommend going to the harry potter places there, Edinburgh Castle, the Edinburgh vaults, and maybe the Edinburgh dungeons. There's a beautiful little village called Linlithgow where there's a burnt out Palace called Linlithgow Palace where Mary Queen of Scott's lived whilst she was hiding from Queen Elizabeth the first "people" which were hunting her down. So that's my little guide of recommendation x
i know im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Sage Seth Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I just have to say I like that you include what Clay reads because if your a slower reader than Regan you can read along with Clay. Which I did when he was reading The Book Thief. Keep it up I love your reading vlogs!
I live in Glasgow!! and as a foreigner living here I can give you a few cool things to visit. I would say a must do is the botanical gardens, the Glasgow university and the kelvingrove park. Kember and jones is a great cafe in that area, also papercup ( amazing for coffee) . Restaurants in the area that are cool are Hanoi ( vietnamese food) Babs in the city centre ( Mediterranean food) Stereo ( vegan ) , the brew dog bars , it's a local brewery and they also serve amazing food. The waterstones in sauchihall st. Is one of my fav chain bookstores and caledonian books one of the best second hand bookstores in Glasgow. In Inverness you should definitely visit the bookstore that it's in a church, it's gorgeous. I would also recommend going to the harry potter bridge by train, doing some natural locations such as loch lomond, and maybe taking one of the distillery tours, my favourite ones are Oban and Arran. ( talisker is the famous one but not too good) . Let me know if you want more details, cafes, etc. Enjoy!!!
When you’re in the Isle of Skye, stop in the small town of Portree. They have a few adorable book shops and there’s a really good and slightly hidden fish and chips shop right next to one of them that had the best fish I’ve ever had. Also, try to do the ferry at Loch Ness Castle. It was really fun. The highlands were my favorite part of our tour last year. The Ballachulish Hotel was a Potterheads DREAM! There isn’t a lot around the hotel but it’s so cozy and feels so old and historic. There’s just so much gorgeous scenery to see, and driving through the snowy mountains where it feels like you’ve stepped into Narnia was a memory I’ll never forget. You guys are going to love it!
Hey Regan, I live in Glasgow and it's definitely worth spending half a day here but not much more than that. The one thing that is A MUST for Glasgow is the main building of Glasgow university. There is a museum inside so its open to the public and you can just walk inside the campus and the building looks JUST LIKE Hogwarts. It's the most beautiful university I have ever seen. So if you only see one thing in Glasgow, it should be that
Scotland is my alltime favourite country!! I would reccommend the Jacobite Train in in Fort William (then you can experience the ride to Hogwarts over the famous bridge in a train itself)! - This is probably half a day trip. And if you wanna do more Harry Potter related stuff I also really liked the Walking Tour in Edinburgh, which is also for free! Doune Castle is good for Outlander and Game of Thrones fans, because scenes from both series were filmed in it 😍
Alicia Croft I’ve been there and it’s really not worth it, packed with tourists who just want to take a picture and leave, much better to visit the inspiration for diagon alley - the shambles in York (I think), so much cooler!!!
I went to Scotland last summer and did the same loop! You'll have a great time! Glencoe was stunning. :) I also really liked Portree, the Old Man of Storr, Eilean Conan Castle (used for filming GoT-Winterfell and Outlander) and the Glenfinnan Viaduct (you can see the train go across, made famous from the HP movies). The lochs are pretty, too, and the hairy coos are so cute. And Edinburgh has a tooon of HP-related places (Victoria Street, Spoon, Elephant House, the cemetery...). They have HP walking tours for diehard fans, too, haha. I did the dark history walking tour by Sandemann's and really enjoyed hearing about its past. So much more to love, too! I loved the whole city. Take a little trek up to King Arthur's Seat if the weather is nice. 💕
Omg im from scotland! You're gonna love it! Definitely spend 1/2 a day in glasgow at least! You'll love edinburgh its very harry potter feels. Skye is gorgeous! I also recommend you go past doune and see the castle there especially because you have mentioned monty python before and it was filmed there!
Always love watching your vlogs!! I am still in the beginning of my reread of Harry Potter, I'm on chamber of secrets now and I am also in the middle of The Name of the Wind. Loving this book and its kind of my introduction book into Adult fantasy which has intimidated me for a long time but I have Always been interested in. Your fantasy recommendations videos have helped me a lot when it comes for getting into this genre.
I live in Scotland (highlands) Glasgow is the best there is a good restaurant called vapianos. Also while in scotland you must try a deep fried mars bar - scottish delicacy. Edinburgh is the best! You can go to the elephant House cafe which is where jk rowling wrote Harry Potter. Also on princes street go to the waterstones bookstore!!
Hey hey what I noticed about your new “Feelings” sweatshirt is that the wording is made with fuzzy fabric - which makes it read as ‘fuzzy feelings’ 👌🏻 great vlog!!
I’m from Glasgow, most people when they visit go to Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, Glasgow University, The Necropolis or The Botanic Gardens. In Edinburgh you could visit the Castle, have lunch in The Elephant House (where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter), visit Mary King’s Close in the Old Town under the Royal Mile or go on a ghost tour or the Dungeon tour. There’s lots of tours from Edinburgh to Glen Coe (you could visit Stirling Castle on the way) and onto Inverness which has Urquhart Castle, Culloden and Clava Cairns and if you are travelling to Skye don’t miss Eilean Donan Castle at the Kyle of Lochalsh which is just before the Skye Bridge. Skye has fairy pools, Dunvegan Castle and Portree. When travelling back from Skye to the mainland I always stop off at Fort William and visit Glenfinnan ( you can see the Harry Potter steam train going over the viaduct) and the Glenfinnan Monument. Basically there’s tonnes of places to visit but just bring clothes for all weathers!
I did a roadtrip around Scotland this summer and my favorite was Eilean Donan castle and Kilchurn castle. But I also recommend stopping at smaller and “unknown” towns. That’s where you find the little gems! Oh and also definitely drive through the highlands! It’s amazing, you’ll feel like you’re in lord of the rings.❤️
In Scotland, I'd recommend going to Sugar Daddy's in Edinburgh! Also Glasgow is pronounced like 'glass-go'! Edinburgh Castle is good as well as Camera Obscura in Edinburgh
I am so excited you're going to Scotland!! :D I'm Swedish, but currently am studying in Scotland. In Edinburgh, I absolutely LOVE this café called Lovecrumbs, and Sarah J. Maas (the queen 🙌🙌) went there the last time she was in Scotland. I am also reading The Priory of the Orange Tree at the moment and am loving it :D
When you're in Edinburgh, you definitely have to do the Mary King's Close tour! That was amazing! Walking through old Edinburgh overall is beautiful! Almost anywhere you visit has beautiful scenery and you will take endless photos! Scottish mac and cheese is also THE BEST!
Omg my roommate and I just came back from Scotland! The Isle of Skye is so beautiful and if you like Outlander you can go see the stone circle at Callanish. Also, I was obsessed with the sticky toffee pudding. Try it, it’s AMAZINGGG
That skirt would look lovely with black boots and tights in the winter.😆 Glasgow's great. My family don't live far away so I like popping in when I visit. Some great museums. Stirling Castle and Edinburgh Castle are great too. There's so much to see. I'd like to go to Culoden at some point.
I’m from Inverness, Scotland!! You’ll love it here! It’s a little bit out of your way but I would recommend going to Loch Ness to try see Nessie. The Isle of Skye is beautiful! I would also recommend going to see Fairy glen and the Fairy pools in Skye. If you get good weather are some lovely coastal/beach walks all across Scotland.
Inverness is a great place to visit! The Castle Tavern is a gem. Also, if you’ll be taking the train at all, pack a picnic lunch and Prosecco- it’s lovely!
You should visit St Andrews while you're in Scotland, 15 mins away from it is the Scottish Deer centre where you can hand feed deers, see Scottish wild cats, otters and wolves. The beach is lovely at St Andrews, if you're into the royal family it is where Will and Kate went to uni, they have a great ice cream shop called Jannettas, they have over 50 flavours. There's also an aquarium, but you can usually see the seals from the path . There's a nice coastal path nearby that goes through Anstruther where there is a really good fish and chips shop.
I just love listening to u talk at night. I got my headphones and my phone and I just listen away and fall asleep. I'm in love' with reading and reading vloggs. I'm currently reading letters from skye. Anyways love ya. Peace and goodnight.
Glasgow is a really nice city, lots of good food, a cool Victorian art gallery called Kelvingrove and also some good vintage clothes shops - I think you should definitely spend a day there before going on to Edinburgh xx
This was again a really pleasant to watch! My little sister has started watching your vlogs with me because she thinks you're cute: inside and out. She just likes the vibe you give even though she couldn't care less about what you are reading.
I’m Scottish and live in Aberdeen (the north east) and I’m so excited for you guys!! Skye is beautiful, there are so many hidden gems around the island. There’s an amazing little bakery in Dunvegan in Skye called Jan’s and it’s got great cake! On your way to Skye you could stop at Eileen Donan castle, it’s like classic Scottish castle vibes. Loch Brittle is gorgeous and there’s loads of beautiful locations like the faerie pools and beaches where you can find the tiniest, most ornate little seashells. Also, if you’re driving up from Edinburgh opposed to getting the train you should stop at Dunnottar castle. It’s this beautiful landscape on the east coast in Aberdeenshire (which you’d drive through before getting north/northwest to Skye) and it’s on a cliff edge at this beautiful beach and it’s a set of castle ruins. It’s awesome! The town of Stonehaven is beautiful too. Also, Loch Lomond near Glasgow is a much nicer Loch to visit and go on a boat ride on than Loch Ness (which you’d probably pass on the way to Skye), but both are great! Scotland is a beautiful place to explore.😊 Also (sorry- this is majorly long) Edinburgh has some incredible bookshops in the city centre. There’s a street just off the Royal Mile which partially inspired Diagon Alley, and there’s a lovely Harry Potter shop on that street. There’s just some awesome independent bookshops in the area and they’ve all got something so whimsical about them. 😊 If you go to Inverness, Leakey’s bookshop is stunning. It’s a giant secondhand bookshop that’s in an old church and so still has stained glass windows etc. It’s beautiful and is teeming with books, gives a very Beauty and the Beast library vibe. Whatever you guys do, I hope you have an awesome time!!😊
Another awesome reading-vlog, love 'em! I actually thought you were a full time youtuber. But you mention your work several times. Can I ask what you do? :)
I specifically wait until I’ve a book and tea in my hands before I start these vlogs as they motivate me to finish my books :) thanks Regan. So much quality in this, specially FMA, drool. Oh by the by, Glasgow is pronounced “glazgoh” 😉
Oh wow! You'll love Scotland... I would absolutely recommend visiting the Trossachs National Park whilst you're there. I know you said Glen Coe, so I assume you'll be passing through the Three Sisters pass which is STUNNING. Oh and of course, you can watch the Hogwarts express go over the infamous Glenfinnian Viaduct, because what self-proclaimed book worm wouldn't want to see that!?! :D
My sister and I just finished planning our 2 week Scotland road trip as well! We found an adorable BnB on Isle of Skye that we’ll be at for a few days.
Love that skirt you could pair it with like a white or cream blouse and a black blazer or even a black blouse with some sort of jacket if it's still cold. I would keep the skirt.
That’s so exciting your coming to Scotland! Definitely spend a bit of time in Glasgow, you would love the West End with all cute shops. My husband and I spend yesterday in Edinburgh and we went to the Elephant House where Harry Potter was “born” which was lovely. I hope you have a wonderful time ❤️
I love the animal print skirt! It looks great on you, you can totally pull it off!! (Edit) on the Isle of Skye definitely check out the fairy pools! They’re gorgeous! Could be spelt faerie...
Hey Regan, I studied in Scotland for a little while. Besides the staples of Inverness (which has an amazing book shop at Leakey's Bookshop) Arbroath is a really cool, sleepy fishing village that has the best fish and chips at Marco's on the Shore. Also, spend as much time as possible in Edinburgh. There is so much history and stuff to do.
Im only 10 mins in but have to comment already! First, the skirt looks great, keep it. Second, I live in Scotland and am super excited for you to see it!! You can do the NC 500 which is a dedicated trip round the north west - it doesn't include the islands but you could always stop off there. Glasgow is the biggest city so I would recommend staying there for the day before moving on and I also suggest spending a night in Fort Augustus. Its a small town where you can do a Loch Ness tour and it's beautiful with a really nice local pub which I also recommend, also lots of nice places to walk.
Since you like middle grade and young adult, you should totally read the Bloody Jack series by L.A. Meyer. The first book is Bloody Jack, it's a quick read and they are hilarious! It's about a girl who decides to pass as a boy and join the navy during like the 17th/18th centuries. I have never had so much fun with a book series. I rate then higher than Harry Potter, not in quality, but in feeling. They just made my heart so happy and my face crack with laughter. Love your reading vlogs!! Thanks for the content!
Haven’t had a chance to watch it yet but man do I love seeing a nice long Regan reading vlog! I know what I’m watching tonight while I put the kids to bed ☺️
Omg yay you’re going to Scotland! I would spend half a day in Glasgow. No more than that probably. But visit the cathedral and the necropolis behind it. Very pretty and close to the city center (Glasgow is quite small)
Went to Scotland last summer, ADORED it!!!! I hope you have a nice trip. You should really visit Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh if you’re into light hiking and maybe stay in Glencoe a bit longer because it is STUNNING. And definitely eat the fudge. Some smaller towns between Inverness and Edinburgh have great pastries, pies and ice cream. Also, if you vlog Isle of Skye I might legit cry cause I want to go there soo bad😂🙌🏻
Woohoo, you are coming to my home country of Scotland, so many great places you need to visit as it's so beautiful. I mean Edinburgh is just so beautiful and so many amazing historical places to visit, and then about 5 minutes from me you have the enormous horse sculptures that are so pretty to visit called the Kelpies. Stirling has great history too, the North of Scotland is beautiful.
Glasgow I'd say spend half a day, it's better shopping than Edinburgh and has really cool places to eat and is probably slightly more trendy. When are you coming, are you linking it into the Edinburgh Festival as that's when Edinburgh really comes alive?
My sister used to live in Aberdeen, Scotland! A great place to get souvenirs from Isle of Skye is Love from Skye. They make jewelry that looks like the island and things like that. I also recommend going to the Faerie Glenn on your way to Skye it is really pretty for walks.
Yes! I love full metal alchemist brotherhood, I watched it so many times ❤❤ and I totally agree with you on the first opening! I just got to rewatching the second season again...
Oooh YES SCOTLAND! I'm Scottish so here are a couple of recommends: Go into Glasgow, it's a lovely city with great restaurants, bookshops, and the University looks like Hogwarts. You should drive around Loch Lomond, it's beautiful. If you're heading up North to Glencoe then go even further North to Inverness purely for Leakey's Bookshop (it's the biggest secondhand bookshop in Scotland). There is also a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins that live in the sea up there and you can go dolphin watching. Obviously Edinburgh is amazing, loads of history, great places to eat and shop, and great bookshops. Have the best time! (It rains a lot here, even in Summer so...pack waterproofs!).
Matilda is super cute on that blanket!! I’m listening to the audiobook of Priory of the Orange Tree. So good! I’ve traveled a lot in Scotland!! Skye is incredible💫
You should definitely spend some time in Glasgow!! I’m from England and it’s one of my favourite cities, it has amazing shopping, restaurants and bars!
I visited Edinburg 2 years ago from school. If you want a nice view over the city you should visit Calton Hill. Also I can recommend to visit Mary Kings Close :)
Priory of the Orange Tree sounds so good! I had seen it lots lately but not really anyone talking about what it's about and it sounds SO GOOD. I love a giant fantasy novel haha. And YES visit Glasgow! I've almost finished my study abroad in Glasgow and I adore it. It's an underrated city. I'd say deffo spend some time in here, the University of Glasgow and Kelvingrove Art Gallery are well worth the visit. I'd say if you do decide to stop, make sure you visit the Hunterian Museum inside the uni and and you HAVE to try Tantrum Doughnuts (which is near Kelvingrove), the doughnuts (esp the creme brulee) are amazing!! I'll miss it so much when I leave.
I just got back from Scotland (like literally 6 days ago)! It is such an amazing country and I am so excited for you guys to go! Glencoe is absolutely one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. You will get amazing pictures when you go there. Edinburgh has lots to do, especially free museums, Calton Hill, Edinburgh Castle and the Palace at Holyrood which are all great and I highly recommend. Also Greyfriar's Kirkyard has the tombstones were J.K. Rowling got character names such as Tom Riddle and McGonagall. I just stopped outside the Elephant House because it was super crowded but it says "The Birthplace of Harry Potter" on it which is super cool. And you probably have plans and whatnot but if you have a free afternoon in Edinburgh, the zoo is cool and everyday they have a koalas, pandas, and a Penguin parade where the penguins come out of their enclosure and walk along this path for everyone and it is so cute!
I'm from Scotland, I recommend going to Inverness, Dundee, Glenrothes, St Andrews and Aberfeldy! These places are full of history and beautiful scenery ❤️
I'm so glad you're liking Samantha Shannons new book. I picked it up right away and I cannot wait to dig my teeth into it!!! Recently I just finished Legendary by Stephanie Garber, Gemina by Kaufman and Kristoff and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Scotland: GLAMIS CASTLE IS THE BEST!!!! (Great tour with creepy tales, love it - not too creepy if you don't like that - ) And the Hard Rock Café in Edinburgh is bae. Other than that, yes this vlog motivated me to read big books again
I study in Glasgow and it's an amazing city to be in! They main tourist attractions are the university of glasgow, which is known for looking like Hogwarts, and the museums, but honestly it's a fun city to be in, especially because the people are super friendly!
Edinburgh is a must, there is Tom Riddles grave to visit! Glasgow Uni building looks like something out of Hogwarts. Aviemore and the highlands are spectacular for the beautiful scenery and being biased as I’m who lives in the Scottish Borders, I would highly recommend a trip to Melrose Abbey and some of the other Abbeys in the Borders!
Okay, as I moved to Scotland 1.5 years ago, here come my recommendations (this is going to be long): Glasgow: the Necropolis is pretty cool, also the University of Glasgow in the West End (I study there) which looks like Hogwarts, close to the university is a nice park (Kelvongrove Park) with a beautiful museum, the Kelvingrove musem and art gallery Edinburgh: the entire old town is gorgeous, as a Harry Potter fan you may want to go to Greyfriars Kirkyard a cemetary with many graves that inspired JK Rowling, most famously the tomb of Tom Riddell, but you can also find McGonagall, Scrymgeour, and John Watson; the Elephant House is a café that advertises itself as the birthplace of Harry Potter because JK wrote parts of the first book there so it's usually very crowded; if you want a less busy, but still Harry Potter related cafe, I would recommmend Spoon not far from there. Apparently Rowling also wrote there and it is really cute with good food, cakes, and coffee. If you want cheap but good food, the Piemaker is brilliant (note that pies in Scotland are usually savoury, so you have ones with meat or the very yummy Mac&Cheese pie). In the old town is also the Central Lending Public Library with a very beautiful reading room on the first floor. As for other nice places: Glencoe and Glenfinnan (the Glenfinnan viaduct is the one from the Hogwarts express), Loch Lomond, the entire Isle of Skye is gorgeous. On the way to the Isle of Skye you can visit Eilean Donan castle which looks pretty cool. If you have time, I would recommend a stop in Oban. It is a town on the westcoast which looks really cute. At the harbour is also an amazing seafood hut (I believe it's just called the Seafood Hut) on the pier. They have really cheap seafood platters and even whole lobsters. Have fun on your trip! Scotland is beautiful
You should go to Fort William and see the actual physical train they used in the Harry Potter films for the Hogwarts express. And Loch Ness and Inverness itself is just magical!
Okay, so I know I shouldn't glorify relationships I see online BUT Enjoying each others company while watching anime, reading together, filming together and gaming together, also having 'couple' friends, living in the city in a cute apt, and having fun while doing it all, but still able to go off and do your own thing independently is just so freaking RELATIONSHIP GOALS UGH. Regan & Clay 4evs :D *Also the cut to him laying on the ground bc he got tired was the fucking cutest thing ever. Like, what? XD
Perfect friday night: cup of tea, blanket & a Regan reading vlog ❤️
I acc live in Scotland. If your planning to go to Edinburgh I would recommend going to the harry potter places there, Edinburgh Castle, the Edinburgh vaults, and maybe the Edinburgh dungeons. There's a beautiful little village called Linlithgow where there's a burnt out Palace called Linlithgow Palace where Mary Queen of Scott's lived whilst she was hiding from Queen Elizabeth the first "people" which were hunting her down. So that's my little guide of recommendation x
lewis stanton 2006 did you mean this to be a comment reply? Xx
I would watch a reading vlog from you everyday.
Same
i know im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Ayden Maximilian Instablaster ;)
@Sage Seth Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Sage Seth it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
Matilda needs her own show. Seriously.
She gets me motivated after watching her vlogs
I just have to say I like that you include what Clay reads because if your a slower reader than Regan you can read along with Clay. Which I did when he was reading The Book Thief. Keep it up I love your reading vlogs!

Absolutely loved this reading vlog!! I think Im going to do a 24hour readathon soon and vlog it!! Hello from a small booktuber❤️❤️
Read by Zoe is hosting one on 30 march.she has an announcement video u can watch it for more details
When you’re in the Isle of Skye, stop in the small town of Portree. They have a few adorable book shops and there’s a really good and slightly hidden fish and chips shop right next to one of them that had the best fish I’ve ever had.

“You can only see your head in this shot”
“I am who I am”
😂😂😂 love you guys
Now you have to read Outlander before your Scotland trip!!
REGAN NOOOOO WHY DON'T YOU PULL APART THE STRING CHEESE
Hey Regan, I live in Glasgow and it's definitely worth spending half a day here but not much more than that. The one thing that is A MUST for Glasgow is the main building of Glasgow university.

I wasn’t sure about the skirt when you held it up but once you tried it on it’s a yasssss

Alicia Croft I’ve been there and it’s really not worth it, packed with tourists who just want to take a picture and leave, much better to visit the inspiration for diagon alley - the shambles in York (I think), so much cooler!!!
@@kristenfader2088 Sadly that is not in Scotland ;) But York / Yorkshire is also beautiful, and for Americans, not that far away :D
@@KatTalks It is in Scotland, the real inspiration was Victoria Street in Edinburgh!
@@kristenfader2088 That sounds good too. I have heard that, I would still want to get a feel for the place and have a little look :)
I thought Spoon was much better than Elephant House. Not a lot of people and she also supposedly wrote there as well. :)
I went to Scotland last summer and did the same loop! You'll have a great time! Glencoe was stunning. :) I also really liked Portree, the Old Man of Storr, Eilean Conan Castle (used for filming GoT-Winterfell and Outlander) and the Glenfinnan Viaduct (you can see the train go across, made famous from the HP movies).

Blanket goals 😍 I need a big furry blanket haha and girl, you 100% pull off that skirt, it looks so good on you!
Omg im from scotland! You're gonna love it! Definitely spend 1/2 a day in glasgow at least! You'll love edinburgh its very harry potter feels.
Skye is gorgeous! I also recommend you go past doune and see the castle there especially because you have mentioned monty python before and it was filmed there!
Best times were when my hubby then boyfriend and I would go for road trips. Such great memories.Have fun!!
Always love watching your vlogs!! I am still in the beginning of my reread of Harry Potter, I'm on chamber of secrets now and I am also in the middle of The Name of the Wind.

Not sure if you’ve already read Mistborn: Secret History but it’s a must!
Also I love the printed skirt.. you pull it off.
Hey do you read it after A Hero of Ages or after all 6?
Sadiya Definitely after the second era!
I live in Scotland (highlands) Glasgow is the best there is a good restaurant called vapianos. Also while in scotland you must try a deep fried mars bar - scottish delicacy. Edinburgh is the best!

I have the same blanket I got as a gift like a year ago. My pug Tori also loves it!! She does the exact same thing as Matilda, I kid you not.
I live in Glasgow and I highly recommend going to Ashton Lane for dinner! It's a very cute little lane with nice pubs and bars. Highly recommend :)
I did a roadtrip around Scotland this summer and my favorite was Eilean Donan castle and Kilchurn castle. But I also recommend stopping at smaller and “unknown” towns. That’s where you find the little gems! Oh and also definitely drive through the highlands! It’s amazing, you’ll feel like you’re in lord of the rings.❤️
Woohoo a vlog! I'm currently reading crazy rich Asians because you talked about it a lot haha, I like it :) also rereading game of thrones books
In Scotland, I'd recommend going to Sugar Daddy's in Edinburgh! Also Glasgow is pronounced like 'glass-go'! Edinburgh Castle is good as well as Camera Obscura in Edinburgh
I am so excited you're going to Scotland!! :D I'm Swedish, but currently am studying in Scotland. In Edinburgh, I absolutely LOVE this café called Lovecrumbs, and Sarah J. Maas (the queen 🙌🙌) went there the last time she was in Scotland. I am also reading The Priory of the Orange Tree at the moment and am loving it :D
I live near Glasgow and it's so nice, especially for music and things! I'm going to Edinburgh uni this year, Edinburgh is a nice touristy place
YES! Bokuno Hero Academia is a great Manga and anime. I hope you enjoy it.
Yeah! Highly recommend reading the manga when you're all caught up with the anime
When you're in Edinburgh, you definitely have to do the Mary King's Close tour! That was amazing! Walking through old Edinburgh overall is beautiful! Almost anywhere you visit has beautiful scenery and you will take endless photos! Scottish mac and cheese is also THE BEST!
Omg my roommate and I just came back from Scotland! The Isle of Skye is so beautiful and if you like Outlander you can go see the stone circle at Callanish. Also, I was obsessed with the sticky toffee pudding. Try it, it’s AMAZINGGG
Also tried haggis, got to say, wasn’t my favorite...
That skirt would look lovely with black boots and tights in the winter.😆
Glasgow's great. My family don't live far away so I like popping in when I visit. Some great museums. Stirling Castle and Edinburgh Castle are great too. There's so much to see. I'd like to go to Culoden at some point.
I’m from Inverness, Scotland!! You’ll love it here! It’s a little bit out of your way but I would recommend going to Loch Ness to try see Nessie. The Isle of Skye is beautiful! I would also recommend going to see Fairy glen and the Fairy pools in Skye. If you get good weather are some lovely coastal/beach walks all across Scotland.
Inverness is a great place to visit! The Castle Tavern is a gem. Also, if you’ll be taking the train at all, pack a picnic lunch and Prosecco- it’s lovely!
The longer the book is just more to experience
That completely changed my feelings over big books !
You should visit St Andrews while you're in Scotland, 15 mins away from it is the Scottish Deer centre where you can hand feed deers, see Scottish wild cats, otters and wolves. The beach is lovely at St Andrews, if you're into the royal family it is where Will and Kate went to uni, they have a great ice cream shop called Jannettas, they have over 50 flavours. There's also an aquarium, but you can usually see the seals from the path . There's a nice coastal path nearby that goes through Anstruther where there is a really good fish and chips shop.
I could watch the Matilda-blanket scene all day long! 😂 She made my day. Terrific video.
Just got back from Isle of skye. Stop off in Broadford and stay-in Fossil Cottage with Fiona and Greg. From air bnb I think. Romantic, cozy. Beautiful
I just love listening to u talk at night. I got my headphones and my phone and I just listen away and fall asleep. I'm in love' with reading and reading vloggs. I'm currently reading letters from skye. Anyways love ya. Peace and goodnight.
Glasgow is a really nice city, lots of good food, a cool Victorian art gallery called Kelvingrove and also some good vintage clothes shops - I think you should definitely spend a day there before going on to Edinburgh xx
This was again a really pleasant to watch! My little sister has started watching your vlogs with me because she thinks you're cute: inside and out.
She just likes the vibe you give even though she couldn't care less about what you are reading.
Your reading vlogs are my favorite! 😁
I’m Scottish and live in Aberdeen (the north east) and I’m so excited for you guys!! Skye is beautiful, there are so many hidden gems around the island. There’s an amazing little bakery in Dunvegan in Skye called Jan’s and it’s got great cake! On your way to Skye you could stop at Eileen Donan castle, it’s like classic Scottish castle vibes. Loch Brittle is gorgeous and there’s loads of beautiful locations like the faerie pools and beaches where you can find the tiniest, most ornate little seashells.
Also, if you’re driving up from Edinburgh opposed to getting the train you should stop at Dunnottar castle. It’s this beautiful landscape on the east coast in Aberdeenshire (which you’d drive through before getting north/northwest to Skye) and it’s on a cliff edge at this beautiful beach and it’s a set of castle ruins. It’s awesome! The town of Stonehaven is beautiful too.
Also, Loch Lomond near Glasgow is a much nicer Loch to visit and go on a boat ride on than Loch Ness (which you’d probably pass on the way to Skye), but both are great! Scotland is a beautiful place to explore.😊
Also (sorry- this is majorly long) Edinburgh has some incredible bookshops in the city centre. There’s a street just off the Royal Mile which partially inspired Diagon Alley, and there’s a lovely Harry Potter shop on that street. There’s just some awesome independent bookshops in the area and they’ve all got something so whimsical about them. 😊 If you go to Inverness, Leakey’s bookshop is stunning. It’s a giant secondhand bookshop that’s in an old church and so still has stained glass windows etc. It’s beautiful and is teeming with books, gives a very Beauty and the Beast library vibe.
Whatever you guys do, I hope you have an awesome time!!😊
No way. I live in Aberdeen too! Love that there are more of us that watch her channel. I can 100% back these travel recommendations
@@hayleysmith1817 Do you really?! No way! Awesome, haha. What are the chances? I'm obsessed with Booktube, I've been watching Regan for years haha xx
@@amytalksbooks4254 yeah! Near kincorth! What a small world! And yeah me too!
I love the skirt! A t shirt and a Jean jacket would be really cute! You can pull it off!
Another awesome reading-vlog, love 'em! I actually thought you were a full time youtuber. But you mention your work several times. Can I ask what you do? :)
I specifically wait until I’ve a book and tea in my hands before I start these vlogs as they motivate me to finish my books :) thanks Regan. So much quality in this, specially FMA, drool. Oh by the by, Glasgow is pronounced “glazgoh” 😉
The Isle of Skye is beautiful and worth a visit! I also really enjoyed the quiet and wild landscape of Isle of Lewis and Harris..
I always love your reading vlogs Regan ☺ so relaxing and fun to watch! And your weekend routines with Clayton are so cute! 😊
Aww Millie is so cute especially with her new soft blanket. I never read fantasy but you always make me want to pick them up more. Love your vlogs!
Oh wow! You'll love Scotland... I would absolutely recommend visiting the Trossachs National Park whilst you're there. I know you said Glen Coe, so I assume you'll be passing through the Three Sisters pass which is STUNNING. Oh and of course, you can watch the Hogwarts express go over the infamous Glenfinnian Viaduct, because what self-proclaimed book worm wouldn't want to see that!?! :D
My sister and I just finished planning our 2 week Scotland road trip as well! We found an adorable BnB on Isle of Skye that we’ll be at for a few days.
Love that skirt you could pair it with like a white or cream blouse and a black blazer or even a black blouse with some sort of jacket if it's still cold. I would keep the skirt.
That’s so exciting your coming to Scotland! Definitely spend a bit of time in Glasgow, you would love the West End with all cute shops. My husband and I spend yesterday in Edinburgh and we went to the Elephant House where Harry Potter was “born” which was lovely. I hope you have a wonderful time ❤️
Keeper of the lost cities is my favorite! So glad you like it! Neverseen is my favorite one
I love the animal print skirt! It looks great on you, you can totally pull it off!!
(Edit) on the Isle of Skye definitely check out the fairy pools! They’re gorgeous! Could be spelt faerie...
I’m reading Priory of the Orange Tree too, and I’m loving it so much!!
Hey Regan, I studied in Scotland for a little while. Besides the staples of Inverness (which has an amazing book shop at Leakey's Bookshop) Arbroath is a really cool, sleepy fishing village that has the best fish and chips at Marco's on the Shore. Also, spend as much time as possible in Edinburgh. There is so much history and stuff to do.
Im only 10 mins in but have to comment already! First, the skirt looks great, keep it. Second, I live in Scotland and am super excited for you to see it!! You can do the NC 500 which is a dedicated trip round the north west - it doesn't include the islands but you could always stop off there. Glasgow is the biggest city so I would recommend staying there for the day before moving on and I also suggest spending a night in Fort Augustus. Its a small town where you can do a Loch Ness tour and it's beautiful with a really nice local pub which I also recommend, also lots of nice places to walk.
Since you like middle grade and young adult, you should totally read the Bloody Jack series by L.A. Meyer. The first book is Bloody Jack, it's a quick read and they are hilarious! It's about a girl who decides to pass as a boy and join the navy during like the 17th/18th centuries. I have never had so much fun with a book series. I rate then higher than Harry Potter, not in quality, but in feeling. They just made my heart so happy and my face crack with laughter.
Love your reading vlogs!! Thanks for the content!
Haven’t had a chance to watch it yet but man do I love seeing a nice long Regan reading vlog! I know what I’m watching tonight while I put the kids to bed ☺️
Thank you for the Mistborn rec I'm only 100 pages in and I'm already loving it!
Please don’t ever stop doing reading vlogs I’m obsessed 😍
Omg yay you’re going to Scotland! I would spend half a day in Glasgow. No more than that probably. But visit the cathedral and the necropolis behind it. Very pretty and close to the city center (Glasgow is quite small)
Went to Scotland last summer, ADORED it!!!! I hope you have a nice trip. You should really visit Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh if you’re into light hiking and maybe stay in Glencoe a bit longer because it is STUNNING. And definitely eat the fudge. Some smaller towns between Inverness and Edinburgh have great pastries, pies and ice cream. Also, if you vlog Isle of Skye I might legit cry cause I want to go there soo bad😂🙌🏻
Woohoo, you are coming to my home country of Scotland, so many great places you need to visit as it's so beautiful. I mean Edinburgh is just so beautiful and so many amazing historical places to visit, and then about 5 minutes from me you have the enormous horse sculptures that are so pretty to visit called the Kelpies. Stirling has great history too, the North of Scotland is beautiful.
Glasgow I'd say spend half a day, it's better shopping than Edinburgh and has really cool places to eat and is probably slightly more trendy. When are you coming, are you linking it into the Edinburgh Festival as that's when Edinburgh really comes alive?
Clay’s “this looks so good” was so unexpected, I died😂😂😂😂
My sister used to live in Aberdeen, Scotland! A great place to get souvenirs from Isle of Skye is Love from Skye. They make jewelry that looks like the island and things like that. I also recommend going to the Faerie Glenn on your way to Skye it is really pretty for walks.
not that I'll probably read an 800 page book, but you explaining it, sounds amazing! I always get good recs from you! xx
Yes! I love full metal alchemist brotherhood, I watched it so many times ❤❤ and I totally agree with you on the first opening! I just got to rewatching the second season again...
Oooh YES SCOTLAND! I'm Scottish so here are a couple of recommends: Go into Glasgow, it's a lovely city with great restaurants, bookshops, and the University looks like Hogwarts. You should drive around Loch Lomond, it's beautiful. If you're heading up North to Glencoe then go even further North to Inverness purely for Leakey's Bookshop (it's the biggest secondhand bookshop in Scotland). There is also a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins that live in the sea up there and you can go dolphin watching. Obviously Edinburgh is amazing, loads of history, great places to eat and shop, and great bookshops. Have the best time! (It rains a lot here, even in Summer so...pack waterproofs!).
Matilda is super cute on that blanket!! I’m listening to the audiobook of Priory of the Orange Tree. So good! I’ve traveled a lot in Scotland!! Skye is incredible💫
You should definitely spend some time in Glasgow!! I’m from England and it’s one of my favourite cities, it has amazing shopping, restaurants and bars!
I visited Edinburg 2 years ago from school. If you want a nice view over the city you should visit Calton Hill. Also I can recommend to visit Mary Kings Close :)
Priory of the Orange Tree sounds so good! I had seen it lots lately but not really anyone talking about what it's about and it sounds SO GOOD. I love a giant fantasy novel haha.
And YES visit Glasgow! I've almost finished my study abroad in Glasgow and I adore it. It's an underrated city. I'd say deffo spend some time in here, the University of Glasgow and Kelvingrove Art Gallery are well worth the visit. I'd say if you do decide to stop, make sure you visit the Hunterian Museum inside the uni and and you HAVE to try Tantrum Doughnuts (which is near Kelvingrove), the doughnuts (esp the creme brulee) are amazing!! I'll miss it so much when I leave.
Watching your reading vlogs always get me motivated to read
Reagan, love you so much. Thank for all your recommendations, they are great!
Hi from Mexico.
You: "Im so excited for spring"
Me in south america: GIVE ME MY WINTER I HATE WARM AND HOT SEASONS
This is always my favorite part of the weekend!
spend a day in glasgow! i absolutely regret not staying there for more than a day so don't make the same mistake as i did! :)
Love your reading vlogs so much, I feel like they make me read more too! 🖤
Same here :)
I just bought this book but it's so large I've been putting this, now after this video I can not wait to go and pick it up later ❤️❤️❤️
i love your reading vlogs!!
I just got back from Scotland (like literally 6 days ago)! It is such an amazing country and I am so excited for you guys to go! Glencoe is absolutely one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. You will get amazing pictures when you go there. Edinburgh has lots to do, especially free museums, Calton Hill, Edinburgh Castle and the Palace at Holyrood which are all great and I highly recommend. Also Greyfriar's Kirkyard has the tombstones were J.K. Rowling got character names such as Tom Riddle and McGonagall. I just stopped outside the Elephant House because it was super crowded but it says "The Birthplace of Harry Potter" on it which is super cool. And you probably have plans and whatnot but if you have a free afternoon in Edinburgh, the zoo is cool and everyday they have a koalas, pandas, and a Penguin parade where the penguins come out of their enclosure and walk along this path for everyone and it is so cute!
I'm from Scotland, I recommend going to Inverness, Dundee, Glenrothes, St Andrews and Aberfeldy! These places are full of history and beautiful scenery ❤️
You should hit up Loch Ness near Inverness or Invergorden and near that area is lovely or ascent houses is epic!
I put both of the books you mentioned onto my Amazon Wish List. They sound interesting and fun.
I'm so glad you're liking Samantha Shannons new book. I picked it up right away and I cannot wait to dig my teeth into it!!! Recently I just finished Legendary by Stephanie Garber, Gemina by Kaufman and Kristoff and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
You should defo visit Oban when you go to Scotland it’s really cute and has access to a lot of islands!
Scotland: GLAMIS CASTLE IS THE BEST!!!! (Great tour with creepy tales, love it - not too creepy if you don't like that - ) And the Hard Rock Café in Edinburgh is bae. Other than that, yes this vlog motivated me to read big books again
I study in Glasgow and it's an amazing city to be in! They main tourist attractions are the university of glasgow, which is known for looking like Hogwarts, and the museums, but honestly it's a fun city to be in, especially because the people are super friendly!
Edinburgh is a must, there is Tom Riddles grave to visit! Glasgow Uni building looks like something out of Hogwarts. Aviemore and the highlands are spectacular for the beautiful scenery and being biased as I’m who lives in the Scottish Borders, I would highly recommend a trip to Melrose Abbey and some of the other Abbeys in the Borders!
Take a day and explore Glasgow it has beautiful parks. Check out the west end , botanical gardens, and kelvingrove Park
Okay, as I moved to Scotland 1.5 years ago, here come my recommendations (this is going to be long):
Glasgow: the Necropolis is pretty cool, also the University of Glasgow in the West End (I study there) which looks like Hogwarts, close to the university is a nice park (Kelvongrove Park) with a beautiful museum, the Kelvingrove musem and art gallery
Edinburgh: the entire old town is gorgeous, as a Harry Potter fan you may want to go to Greyfriars Kirkyard a cemetary with many graves that inspired JK Rowling, most famously the tomb of Tom Riddell, but you can also find McGonagall, Scrymgeour, and John Watson; the Elephant House is a café that advertises itself as the birthplace of Harry Potter because JK wrote parts of the first book there so it's usually very crowded; if you want a less busy, but still Harry Potter related cafe, I would recommmend Spoon not far from there. Apparently Rowling also wrote there and it is really cute with good food, cakes, and coffee. If you want cheap but good food, the Piemaker is brilliant (note that pies in Scotland are usually savoury, so you have ones with meat or the very yummy Mac&Cheese pie). In the old town is also the Central Lending Public Library with a very beautiful reading room on the first floor.
As for other nice places: Glencoe and Glenfinnan (the Glenfinnan viaduct is the one from the Hogwarts express), Loch Lomond, the entire Isle of Skye is gorgeous. On the way to the Isle of Skye you can visit Eilean Donan castle which looks pretty cool. If you have time, I would recommend a stop in Oban. It is a town on the westcoast which looks really cute. At the harbour is also an amazing seafood hut (I believe it's just called the Seafood Hut) on the pier. They have really cheap seafood platters and even whole lobsters.
Have fun on your trip! Scotland is beautiful
I've lived in Scotland all my life and I'm screenshotting this because i still need to see a lot of these places! It's such a beautiful country
@@carly885 😂 to be fair, I've seen a lot more things in Scotland than in Germany (where I'm from)
Hi Regan! So obsessed with Priory of The Orange Tree! Currently on page 273! 😊❤
You should go to Fort William and see the actual physical train they used in the Harry Potter films for the Hogwarts express. And Loch Ness and Inverness itself is just magical!
Ok I want a Matilda and her bowl Merchandise line sticker for PeruseProject channel
Okay, so I know I shouldn't glorify relationships I see online BUT Enjoying each others company while watching anime, reading together, filming together and gaming together, also having 'couple' friends, living in the city in a cute apt, and having fun while doing it all, but still able to go off and do your own thing independently is just so freaking RELATIONSHIP GOALS UGH. Regan & Clay 4evs :D *Also the cut to him laying on the ground bc he got tired was the fucking cutest thing ever. Like, what? XD
