Great vid guys.

Well done for trying haggis! Haha, I like it but only if I switch my mind off to what it is! What you should know is that the texture also has a lot to do with the oatmeal and other inoffensive bulking ingredients!
Travelling when cheaper: Couldn’t possibly know when is best for travel from Canada, but the cheapest rates for visiting Scotland would be outwith School holidays which is peak season. This means Easter, 7 weeks of summer, October week, and of course Christmas. Your best bet for this is to check the local council website for whatever area (example, GOOGLE “south Ayrshire council school holidays” for Ayr holidays).
Another tip is that school holidays in England are different so if coming to Scotland in peak season, fly to Manchester in England as it may be cheaper, and drive up here (about 4.5hrs).
Also, don’t forget to tick the West Highland Way off your bucket list! Check out their Facebook pages for tips and to read the experiences of people who’ve travelled across the globe to do it.
Just come across you today. Will be sure to follow more of your journeys 🫶🏻x
Irn-bru is sold in large glass, chilled, bottles. It is ESSENTIAL as a hangover cure here in Scotland.
Haggis is by far one of my favorites. Next time you have it, get a wee dram of a slightly smoky scotch to pour over the meat.
I think I could get into it with some scotch and gravy honestly - Trevor
I live in Ayrshire, and I think you made a pretty good choice to pop down from Glasgow. Lots of tourists insist on visiting the Highlands, but it typically involves more travel time, and there's just as much to see in the Lowlands. I recommend my home county of Galloway particularly, as it is often likened to Hobbiton.
Oh my goodness! You didn’t think of beaches in Scotland 🙀 they have some of the most beautiful in the world! You have to visit the Orkney isles. Go do it 🤪
We will look it up! Thanks - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers You should look up the Outer Hebrides which is a group of islands off the North West coast of Scotland and contains so many beautiful beaches but probably the star of the show is Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris which is not classed as just one of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland but also the world!
Well they are unspoilt because they are cold and dreary to go there. Spent a week there in Summer...
@@DelightfulTravellers Seilebost Beach, enough said.
Going to Scotland in February or March is better than you may expect. Very green. Cheap flights also. Suggest going to Stirling and seeing the castle where Mary Queen of Scots lived and also the William Wallace monument. Take the ferry to Arran too. Beautiful island. Go to the West Brewery on Glasgow Green. Great beer and food and as a bonus its close to the terracotta fountain. The Peoples Palace on the Green is also fun and informative. Lastly take in a Rangers match at the Ibrox. A local told me to check out the Ranger fan pub next to the subway(which is an experience in itself) entrance on game day. It was insane! So much fun listening to Ranger fans singing club songs and drinking ales, while shoe horned into a tight space.
The funny bits in haggis is actually oatmeal. Good and fair review. I'm a Scot and I adore a good haggis (some of them are awful), but I know just as many Scots that either don't like it, or won't even try it! Good vid guys
I was born in Scotland and lived there for 55 years and I don't think I ever met a Scot who hadn't tried haggis. But I didn't do a survey either so I can't say for sure.
Ayrshire resident, glad you enjoyed the town, I think the secret to eating haggis is to not know what's in it. The one problem with Scotland in the summer is the midges, so if you're thinking about a nice summer's days stroll anywhere near a loch (lake) then be warned, the Scottish midgie is a nightmare.
As someone from Ayr, it was lovely to see you enjoy the town ❤
Hopefully we repped your town okay 😀 - Trevor
There is no stomach in Haggis.
Traditionally it was cooked in a sheep's stomach, but today that's been replaced with sausage skin.
It is the offal from sheep and cows, hearts lung and liver minced together with oats and seasoning.
My paternal grandmother was from Ayr .... I visited years ago was beautiful!!!!
No way! It's such a great little town. We had a blast in Ayr 🤙 - Trevor
Haste Ye Back
I am Scottish and lived there for 55 years and have now lived in the states for more than 10 years. There is no stomach in haggis. It was traditionally cooked in the sheep's stomach but that was just a casing, it was not eaten. Although you can still buy haggis in a sheep's stomach it is more common now for it to be in an artificial casing which is not eaten either. What you had was sliced haggis, which is a slice from a rolled haggis much the same size and shape as a salami. Tatties are potatoes and neeps are mashed turnip.
I grew up in Canada with an English grandma and we had Sunday roast with yorkies most Sundays. Great memories!! Happy Travels
I’m from South Ayrshire there are some lovely beaches in Ayrshire and no visit is complete without a visit to Culzean castle.
We are an island after all so we have many many beautiful beaches!!
Haggis is composed of the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep (or other animal), minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal and seasoned with onion, cayenne pepper, and other spices.
I think the reason that Yorkshire Pudding never made it to the US is that Yorkshire is so beautiful that nobody wanted to leave.
haha
You guys needed to try Haggis with whisky sauce!! It's so much better that way!! Also Haggis contains nutmeg. I hope you will give it another try elsewhere. In Edinburgh the Whiski Bar Room has great Haggis and so does the Haggis Arcade Bar
Noted for next time! It needed some sauce for sure 🤗 - Anna
Ohhh I love haggis, I ate that every day for 2 weeks. You need to try it with whisky sauce
If we can find it like that, we will! - Trevor
Yup, or even a nice spot of peppercorn sauce enhances taste of haggis.
The first meal looks amazing and good job trying haggis for the first time:) Great video!
Not surprised you didn't like the haggis as first of all there are all types, some really good and some not so good, but also it is made with minced sheeps heart, liver , lungs with oatmeal and various spices there is NO STOMACH in it this is a myth , yes in the old days it was traditionally cooked in a washed out sheeps stomach and although this can still be found it is mostly made in casings or bungs, you can also get vegetarian haggis which tastes a lot like stuffing !
Amazing sightseeing !
Amazing Video !
I love Scotland 🎉
🤗
Nicely done Trevor and Anna. Never a dull day with Yall
Cheers 🍻 What a day of delicious food (and some bad) 😅 - Trevor
You should have tried Lorne Square Sausage in a roll with brown sauce it’s the best. Haggis is the best and best time of year to visit is probably between May and July tbh but this year has been rubbish tbh. If you ever visit anytime again soon let me know hahaha I will cook and bring you a slice sausage roll myself 🤣🤣
Haha next time for sure! - Trevor
Got your survey, filled it out! So excited!!
Amazing! You're the best Kim 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers so are you guys, would love to have the opportunity to travel with you.
All we want is pre 2018 irn-bru back 😁
I think if you drank irn-bru anticipating orange citrus you’d be disappointed
Yay I'm really excited to see you're going to be in the Lakes District, you'll love it. Although I can't imagine you'll be visiting my little town. Hope you'll your time in the Lakes. I've enjoyed seeing your Scottish series. 😀
We so can’t wait for the Lake District! - Anna
This is my home town,glad you enjoyed your visit,there are obviously quite a few other places to eat and the last two you were in are classed as pubs with grub and are a couple of the oldest ones in Ayr,sorry you didn't like the haggis,it is an acquired taste but if you hadn't been told what was in it would you have enjoyed it more,very enjoyable video guys,haste ye back
We had a blast in your home town! Ayr was great and we just might have to give haggis another try 😬 - Trevor
Never seen you before so how on earth did I come across this! 😅 But great to see you guys in Ayrshire and braving our national foods. You probably went to Tam O’Shanter a bit early or on the wrong day for the vibes. I’ve not been in but seen a bit of buzz around it on a Saturday. Your Yorkshire puddings didn’t look the best but hope they tasted good and you should absolutely try making them at home!! They are so easy to make and so delicious with a chicken, beef or pork roast. Perfect yorkies have a soft base and crispy top and sides 😋
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip to Scotland. I’d recommend the West Highland Way next time which is popular with visitors world wide. Don’t forget your hiking boots! 😉 x
enjoyed the video,we stay just up the coast in Irvine, Ayr had a great town centre 20-30 years ago,sadly like most towns around here the high streets are struggling
🤗
Welcome to Ayrshire! We hardly get many tourists down here compared to other regions! 🏴
A good roast beef has the beet medium rare and melt in the mouth . It it’s grey then it’s overcooked .
The Inn is where Robert Burns used to frequent. Burns cottage is a good place to visit also Culzean Castle by Turnburry is awesome. Enjoy the lake district
So good to know. Bring on the Lake District! - Trevor
Found Haggis to be similar to American scrapple. All the scraps of the pig!. Thought haggis was great. Maybe you got some sub par haggis.
We used to go to Ayr every year for years, try Burns cottage a bit if Scottish history for you. Enjoy Ayr.😊
Yorkshire pudding are the best and so easy to make!, traditionally go with beef but i make them every roast dinner
and always roast potatoes!
🤤
Fun video!!
We had so much fun filming it! 🤗 - Anna
I enjoyed the video. If you are ever back in the States, you should do the Bourbon Trail in Northern Kentucky. We had a nice time and the countryside is beautiful. We have visited 3 distilleries there and our favorite is Buffalo Trace. My husband also enjoys Woodford and Early Times. Safe travels!
We'd luv to do the Bourbon trail! It's high on our list - Anna
Come back in May…..generally dry and a bit cheaper because the schools are not on holiday. I’d also try and visit the Isle of Arran too. It’s beautiful.
Top dollar I was born there and it is stonking expensive , at 70 , I still love Kelvin bridge where my wife and I lived in 1976 when we got married.❤
Macaroni cheese pies, deep fried mars bars, tattie scones, fruit dumpling, white pudding, morning rolls, tablet, cullen skink, square sausage, cranachan….. all good Scottish dishes to try….. well maybe not the fried mars bar! 😋
Welcome to Ayrshire! I'm just down the road from Ayr in Kilwinning so good choice on visiting the West Coast! Irn Bru is our national juice and made from girders 😂 Haggis neeps and tatties is the bomb! Top with some peppercorn sauce and it's a winner, thanks for trying it though guys, it's not everyone's cup of tea
If you go back to Ayr or Girvan there is a beautiful place called the souters inn in a small town called Maybole. The food is amazing. Also No one knows what Irn Bru really is. I’m not a fan of haggis either but the needs and tatties are good lol.
from Cobourg ON, and just love haggis, like meatloaf, and sausage, everyone makes it different.
Sometimes haggis isn’t the nicest. However, Balmoral chicken puts a different slant on it. Loving your videos btw.
Ayr looks lovely! Brave guys I think I would have passed on the Haggas anything liver I just cannot..😆.
Another fabulous food vlog. ~Cara 😊
You'd like the Haggis guys! 😉- Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers 😂😂
Ayr beach is one of the nicest beaches in the southwest of the country. Next time you're in that neck of the woods I'd also recommend Largs. The best Irn Bru is the 1901 edition, which tastes most like how ordinary Irn Bru tasted prior to its recipe being changed due to the sugar tax. Irn Bru Extra is also fairly good. Ordinary Irn Bru like you tried is now my least favourite. Haggis varies wildly in quality, and that doesn't look like one I would have particularly enjoyed I must say - it looks way too dry so I'd have wanted a whisky sauce with it. That is a really neat idea they had though with the sharing plates, and yes I would say that's more a local's place - you're probably the very first proper youtubers they've ever had! The best way to have Scotch whisky is with a little bit of water to your own taste - not neat, and never with ice. Also Arran is amazing to visit - the village where Arran whisky is made - Lochranza - just has deer wandering about it! Best time to visit would probably be Spring - early summer, and a chain to keep in mind is Premier Inn - nothing fancy but they tend to be cheap and they're always spotless. Next time you're here please visit Loch Lomond and the Trossachs!
I live on fish n chips, mince pies and tea biscuits when I travel to Scotland. Troon has amazing fish n chips. My uncle had a caravan near Ayr so have been there many times. Seeing your video makes me want to go back to visit my moms family. She was a war bride. When I go there, I always count on rain, so when the sun does shine it’s a big bonus. Just don’t go in Dec. Brrrrr, very damp and cold. Even colder than our Alberta winters.
We're so glad the video brought back such great memories for you 🤗 - Anna
Ok now I’ve watched it. I absolutely love Irn Bru and haggis but definitely not for everyone! My Canadian friend said irn bru tasted of cough syrup! I would advise coming to Scotland in May. It’s outwith UK school holiday time and no yet peak season but the weather is generally milder (although it’s Scotland so 4 seasons in one day isn’t uncommon!). I’m from Ayrshire but absolutely recommend visiting the Highlands and Islands if possible - Lewis/Harris/Mull/Arran are all fantastic. Dumfries & Galloway is a very underrated area of Scotland too. Loved this video 😊
Luv all these tips! Thank you so much - Anna
I love all these areas you mention. I live in central Scotland, but was brought up on the east coast. You would love the villages of Johnshaven, Gourdon. Also Stonehaven and Montrose have lovely beaches.
Born in Ayr. Sure do miss the food and going down to the beach with a fish supper.
The Dow Clan Immigrated from Scotland to Dow Settlement🙂 in New Brunswick CANADA many Years Ago 🙂🙂Another Awesome Video Trever & Anna 🙂
Thanks so much! - Trevor
I always put a little HP sauce on my haggis. Not the biggest fan of neeps (turnips) though. Laphroig is very peaty. I’m more of a Glenlivet fan.
Whenever you return “home”to Halifax can find Irn Bru at the Pete’s Frootique grocery store 😊
Are you serious?! haha we did NOT know that - Anna
You two are a pair off belters!!!!
Thanks... I think? - Trevor
You should have got the train to Ardrossan (same distance) and ferry over Arran.
Didn't know what a roast potato was lol. And yes dive into the chicken with your fingers, staying 13 miles from Ayr, I'd say you made a great choice, apart from tam o shanter lol
When you drink single malt, if its a 8yr old take a sip and keep it in your mouth and count to 8, then swallow it, that when you get the true taste of that malt, enjoy.
Fun travels
So fun 🤗 - Anna
To take the edge of haggis next time your in Scotland, try sweet chilli haggis normally from a chippy.
Loved that beer. I wish I could get it here in the States
I'm sure at some pub you'd find something similar no? - Trevor
Haggis is absolutely amazing I eat it at least once a week 😝
Haggis looked like a slice that has been reheated approaching cremation . #should be light and fluffy .
Those white bits are grains (forgot which one). It looks a bit dry, but a boiled one is juice.
Good to know - Trevor
It tastes like a molten lava version of childhood drinks x
haha that's a great explanation - Trevor
When it comes to haggis you should try different brands. For example I cannot stand *halls* haggis but LOVE *mcsweens* . I hate liver kidney etc but in mcsweens you cannot taste them. In halls own you can.
Also from Ayr ,you were wrong about haggis although it can taste slightly different in different places ,can't believe you came to Ayr and didn't visit Burns cottage.
The mince and tatties needed skirlie with it .
You had one Scottish meal: Haggis, neeps and tatties. The rest you can get anywhere in the UK. They are justifiably famous for their world class fish and seafood, which I presume you'll sample in another video.
Hi not a bad choice to go to Ayr. I'm 54 miles north of it a small town called Port Glasgow. The haggis doesn't actually contain stomach it just used to be cooked and boiled in one. Most of the haggis you get now in supermarkets is in an artificial plastic casing. You can also buy a vegetarian version. Fellow Canadian kd lang has apparently had the vegetarian version on visits to Glasgow when doing a gig there and liked it. Have you been to Edinburgh in August during the Fringe festival? The atmosphere in Edinburgh at that time is amazing. Although the hotels then in Edinburgh could be pretty expensive. But you could always stay outside of Edinburgh and travel into the city. Glencoe is also a great place to see the scenery is so dramatic. If your interested in Skye I have a video I did there on my channel. The view from the Old Man Of Storr on Skye is world class.
Thanks for watching Pete! and for all the tips - Trevor
Never add ice to a single malt. The flavours are just too nuanced and delicate to then add ice, which then just locks up the flavour instead of releasing it which is not what you want. If you want, you can add a splash of water to reduce the ABV intensity and it helps release the flavour. If you really want Scotch whisky 'on the rocks', do that only with blended whisky, whisky liqueurs or whisky cocktails
I do that with blended whisky but to be honest.. I just prefer it cold 🤷🏻 (like some folks like cold red wine... which I think is nuts) 😉 - Trevor
I agree! No ice in whisky! Ruins it!
I live 30mns from Ayr... it's nice
Every place that sells haggis has different suppliers so they all don't taste the same, best bet if visitor is to get haggis supper from chip shop or if self catering a canned tin of GRANTS haggis add mash and butter.
Haggis isn’t a weird taste at all. It’s just like a spicy meat pudding
Nice 😂😂
Ting from Jamaica is a grapefruit soda that also outsells coca cola in its own country
I think Anna started to move in slow motion after that sip of Scotch 😂😂
haha 🙈 - Anna
I love Haggis wow
I had Yorkshire Pudding several times at the Holiday Inn in Dartmouth for fund-raising dinners about 30 years ago. It wasn't crispy though, more soggy.
Any good? - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Unfortunately, no. It landed solidly in the "so this is why people hate British food" category.
Very brave in trying the haggis. Next time you’re in Colorado or Wyoming, please try some Rocky Mountain Oysters (Deep fried sliced Bull testicles)
Noted! Thanks Tim - Trevor
My home town.
That was pre made haggis you had, you need to get the real deal
Vegetarian haggis is nice. Maybe try that and get the taste without having to get your mind round the lungs, etc.
Love Irn Bru, love haggis but whisky? No thanks. Ayr is a nice place, I’m from Fife (East coast) and there are some nice wee coastal villages etc, then you have St Andrews… Anstruther, which is famous for its fish and chips…. we are also only 30mins from Edinburgh or Dundee. I was up in Inverness and Highlands just last week actually, it IS a beautiful part of the Country but at the same time, Inverness itself is maybe a bit TOO touristy. That’s maybe just me, when I explore new places, I prefer the authentic ‘off the beaten track’ kind of approach
Yorkshire pudding is Christopher's favourite!
It is pretty tasty that's for sure! - Anna
Hi guys, Scotland looks so nice, it’s pretty. Lol there has to be foods you guys don’t like on your travels, it’s fair enough you’re only human. That haggis didn’t look too good to me 🙈
Our fav part about travel is definitely the food! 😀 - Trevor
The correct way to drink malt whisky, not whiskey!, is with a little local water, not neat or on ice.
Vista may as well be a wetherspoons where its amazing x
🤗
Aye, b'when y'grew up thinkin' boiled cow's udder an' vinegar sandwiches were'a treat then haggis is now't'be feared.
If you're want to go to the Highlands then that doesn't necessitate going to, or staying in, Inverness. Tbh personally I'd generally skip Inverness. There are plenty other parts of the highlands that are nice and aren't quite as busy. If you want to try an island, the one you can see from Ayr - Arran - isn't a bad choice because its very nice and scenic, and, whilst it's popular with Scottish visitors, it doesn't seem to get as many foreign ones. It has mountains, beaches, a castle, a distillery etc, all on a fairly small island.
the roast dinner is really associated with England. The Yorkshire pudding is the clue.
Thanks
Thank you so much! 😊😊
Ive had haggis twice now, first time it wss horrible, but the secend time i tried it i loved it, think its one of those things where some places does it really well but others use cheap meat witch makes it disgusting
Best part of beef is silver side 👌🏻
Yorkshire pudding is pretty easy to make actually.
😋
Haggis is brilliant especially deeo fried its not what you think.
Most burger vans in Scotland sell beef burgers which are made from cows heart, I don't eat them sorry folks from letting you know
You both psychology talked yersel out of the haggis. Ye don't know what yer missing. 😂
lol .. next time!
Irn bru in a glass bottle is superior to a can 😊
I love irn bru.
Aye!
Love the video of Scotland! Can’t wait for the next one. Greetings from our nation’s capital! I’m here on a few days of vaca!! Take care!
Enjoy! Have so much fun - Anna
