    If anyone’s wondering where the subtitles are, RUclips can’t comprehend a mixture of speech and wind noise, so I am manually typing every one out! They will be up in a couple hours. Hope you enjoy this week’s episode 👍🏼

Thanks for sharing, this one is one of your best adventures. Well done!

    lol! at 33:05 it's pronounced "ross-sythe" dockyard (Rosyth Dockyard), my home town 🥰 absolutely brilliant video guys! I have always wanted to visit Inchgarvie after having visited Inchcolm island back when I was in high school and passing by these historic islands on an almost daily basis for nearly 32 years.

    Enjoyed this one! we live in Fife, and hubby is a Veteran and anything Military he loves, we see these islands all the time and it was great to see them close up! I bet the outtakes and “bloopers” were hilarious! The Forth is notorious for its changing conditions from weather to flow. Look forward to the next venture locally. By the way do you guys know about the Cromarty firth where the submarine nets were secured there is access from Nigg on the north side, I’ve not tried the south side but there were gun emplacements and more on the North side of the Cromarty, when I was able to get there a number of years ago, it would be good to see and you seem to be able to unearth the history too, could make another good video coverering both the north and south areas where the military were stationed to protect the entry to the Cromarty Firth, hopefully that’s enough info to find the location 😊 happy exploring

    WOW Just WOW! I have said it many times lads, but you have blown it out of the park with this one, which has to be your best yet. I have never been so captivated watching one of your RUclips videos as I was with this one. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, at first for your safety and then for the wonderful images of Inchgarvie and its contents. Being a Scot who has seen this from afar many times, I never thought I would get to see it close up, and I have to say a massive thank all three of you and the help from your buddies at Hell On Earth. I also loved the fact that we got to see of the three of you a lot more in front of the camera. Thanks

    In 1970, we went to Inchgarvie in my uncle's speed boat. I have been to Hound Point on an oil tanker and been up on top of the the north tower of the Forth Bridge. You mention 12 pdr guns. 12lb shells were used in the guns, pdr = pounder. Inch means island. Calling this island Inchgarvie island is wrong. Beside the Forth Bridge central tower is Thomas Bouch's aborted bridge pier, now a navigation aid.

Glad my partner told me about this channel cos I've been watching these videos non stop. I'm Scottish and live not far from the forth road bridge, I was so gullible as a young child and my dad heavily convinced me that the forth road bridge was in fact a rollercoaster 🤣

    My family from Edinburgh and many times I was told stories of Messerschmitt from Germany sent to destroy the bridges and the gun turrets open firing on them. They tried to destroy the fourth road bridge many times all the fourth rail bridge. I don’t know which one was the main one but I know that the Germans constantly came up the firth of forth to try and get the bridge and the gun turrets would shoot them down or at least attempt.
