Weekends are hard for me since my husband died. It’s nice to watch your video on Saturday mornings. Sometimes I watch twice. Thanks. Anywhere you go is good.
Go for a pub crawl in Inverness! 🤗 Of course not! But: I was working as delivery driver for a medical supplies distributor here in the Cologne-Bonn area. Among my customers were many families with members who were terminally ill. With some, I had the opportunity to have a word in four eyes and would always tell them that, when the inevitable had happened, they should go on a vacation. Just to break up their daily habits and expectations. The ones I met again later confirmed that was a good thing to do. There's one much overlooked very benign if not sobering fact to coping with the loss of a loved one: Much of the coping is getting used to the new situation. A break from the stream of daily routines and sights is a great help there, and a holiday is a great break. How I know? Last survivor of a family here. Done my share of grieving. You win no points for days spent in grief, you deserve a good time and you know your hubby would have said that, too. So do something to help yourself make things easier and brighter for you! All the bestest to you! 🤗
Steve’s posts are part of my Saturday morning ritual too. Sometimes I just let the videos run back-to-back while I take of things around the house. Heartfelt condolences about the loss of your husband, love and blessings to you. ❤
The food looks incredible and the puppy is a good host for the house. Reminds me of the guest house we stayed at in Stirling - they had a big Scottish Deer Hound called Kishmul who kept wandering into our room,we loved him.
18:10 That's a place known as 'Ship Space' - closed since the death of the owner (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShipSpace). The four-funnel ship is a 1:10 scale model of the Titanic.
@@colinmacdonald5732 The Titanic was about 270 meters long, which would put a 1:100 model at 2,7 meters. The one in the video looks a "wee" bit longer than that. 😉
It is Titanic. The buff colored stacks, mean White Star. The enclosed promenade deck means it's not Olympic. And the life boat davits aren't the gantry size that they put on the third sister the Britannic. Lovely model. Too bad it's out in the weather.
Steve and Alicja you are a hoot can’t believe you got up for breakfast and a hike after your pub crawl, I would be sleeping all day but it was so fun going along with you thanks for sharing with us much love from 🇨🇦
My husband and I LOVE Inverness I was so excited to see you did not one but two videos on it. It is absolutely misjudged which is fine by me because that means less crowds. Also Inverness airport IS THE best airport I have ever flown in and out of. So small and easy you are in and out!
oh my gosh! just like your last video you've taken me back nearly 50 years. working as an auditor, my colleague (stephen Higgins) and i started to walk through the islands one evening. we followed the canal towpath until we actually reached the end- the entrance to Loch Ness! with a carrier bag of beer each we stayed all night, wearing suit and tie. not bad for a couple of Manchester lads, we lit a campfire (no tent) and told drunken stories till the sun came up. Maybe 1974. unforgettable.☺☺☺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Greetings from Sri Lanka! Heading that way in April 2025 with 4 other mates and the wives in tow. Our long-awaited Whisky Tour to celebrate us lads turning 60! Inverness is the first stop after Edinburgh and where we plan to be based the longest. This Walking Loop video and the Pub Crawl one was just what we were looking for to give us an 'insider POV' of the place. Loved it!! It's stuff like this that makes this world a smaller place and brings us all closer together. Many thanks!! You and Alicja are an awesome pair. Here's to many more such trails together. "Ayubowan" (as we say in Sri Lanka, "may you live long")!!
That was just awesome! I didn’t want it to end! Thankyou so much for your exploration of this pretty city. And yes, the food looked really really good! ❤
When the craziness of California gets too much for me I always turn to watching your travel videos to calm down a bit. They bring back so many wonderful memories of my 5 summers roaming around this beautiful land, dropping in on small town highland games, island hopping on the Cal Mac ferries, sheepdog trials, bustling Edinburgh during the festival, the music, and friendly people. Not much chance I'll make it back but I have fond memories and your videos to escape to when the news is so grim.. ❤
Oh that morning hangover look 😮🫣😂 What a beautiful breakfast table. You certainly chose a wonderful accommodation. Walking around the Inverness islands is a joy. What better way to recharge. 👏👏👍😀
OOh what a fabulous video! You may have felt fragile but still you excelled yourselves, I loved it. Alicja cracked me up, 'I'm only half your size, I have right to feel more rough' 🤣 The Castle View Guest House...well... just wow! Awesome food, awesome dog, awesome room, awesome view! I want to go! I watched your pub crawl but somehow I missed this one & went straight to Skye 😆 I loved this as much as that one and it's always so much fun when there are the 2 of you 😉 Bless you both x
Thank you for the tour of Inverness. My long gone grandfather lived here until he emigrated to Canada after the end of WW1 but kept returning to Scotland until his death. Even though his roots were Glascow his fave place was Inverness.The walking tour of Alicja and you is the same he took a century or more ago and it made it real for me. Thank you.
My daughter and I went to Inverness in March and will return again in a couple of weeks. We love it. It's a nice stopping point for me to tour, and my daughter will hop a train to Aviemore to meet up with her hiking guide. This time, we will have a full day just for Inverness, and that trail might be something this old grandma can do at a slower pace. We'll see. Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed it.
Oh folks, I felt the hair the dog with you guys in the first five minutes of the video haha 😂 I’m watching it from this point on, but I’m stoked to see what the rest of the video holds haha. No better way to end the video than with some ice cream! Love you both! Tell Alicia I love seeing her wear that good clean Buckeye toboggan when she does. Steve every weekend my friend and I watch your weeks videos. I love you dude and I pray for your good health and that you both are safe, happy, and healthy. -Reese
I really enjoyed the both of you on your walk along the Calidonian Canal, i was shivering sitting here in my nice warm house. I don't know how you did it after night out on the town, briĺiant as ever. You are so natural, a lovely couple. ATB
Thank you for another great video, I can't go exploring at the moment my illness got worse so I can't make journeys but watching the both of yours has really gotten me through some difficult times, I know that might be said a lot on RUclips but genuinely the relaxing nature and exploring and your personalities just truly helped me through some tough times. Thank you.
Yet another great start to a weekend. Thanks, Steve and Alicja. Your videos are always a great lift. That thought got me to thinking about the fact that nothing lasts forever. Someday you may want to retire from video creation and making travel connections. We fans will need to come up with a plan for handling withdrawal. 😅 (Watching reruns will be good for awhile. In fact, I already do that when waiting for my Saturday morning fix feels a bit difficult. 😊) Best wishes...
I’m still hung over from watching last week’s video and now you are off walking around on a windy cool morning. Good for you both! Hope you are recovering in Newfoundland!
Another entertaining video. Thank you, Steve and Alicja. I felt the pain of your morning after. However, I was impressed with your resilience. I think most of us have been there, haha. What a fantastic B&B. It's got to be one of the best I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Due to my age and finances, I know I'll never be able to visit Scotland. That is why your videos mean so much to me. I absolutely love them, and actually feel like I'm there when I'm watching your videos.. Thanks you so much for taking the time to share your beautiful country with the world.
Definitely do the Caley Canal we've done it 3 times and well worth it. Caley Cruisers are brilliant easy to maneuver and loads of fun and very peaceful along the canal.
Recently stuck thinking where to go for food in Inverness recently, decided to head to the Innes Bar after your reccomendation. Only lived in Inverness for 30yrs and had never heard of it. The food was brilliant, cheers for the tip and will definitely be back.
I’ll definitely be watching this episode more than once! I’ve only driven through Inverness once, but was mightily impressed with what little I saw. Before we were married, my husband spent some time there, and it ranks as one of his favorite cities. I’m going to love rewatching this with him! All your food looked fantastic I hope I get to come back to Scotland someday. Cheers, and ATB!
I was there for a couple of days back in '91. Spent an entertaining evening at the bar near the blue car at 3:30. The hotel I stayed at was close to the one you did. What a beautiful town.
My wife and I were just in Scotland. We visited our son and wife in Gourdon and enjoyed Inverness. We followed your footsteps almost excactly,. Thanks for the fine tour. We're back home in the Puget Sound now enjoying our fall weather,
Reading some of the comments. I love your videos, but hope you realize how many people really find your videos important in their lives. You help a lot of people. Good work!
Oh Steve you have done it again, what a breakfast at the Castle Guesthouse. After watching your very interesting and enjoyable video had to make a Bacon roll😅 Both hubby and I felt hungry.
Weekends are hard for me since my husband died. It’s nice to watch your video on Saturday mornings. Sometimes I watch twice. Thanks. Anywhere you go is good.
Ah bless you, hope this cheers you up x
So sorry, thinking about you. X
Please make an effort to go for a weekend away, you may surprise yourself how much you enjoy just exploring.
Go for a pub crawl in Inverness! 🤗

That guest house is FIVE STAR!!!!
That should win an award from the Inverness tourist board. Regards Ken.
That guest house is the best I have ever seen for style presentation and excellent food. I think one would say outstanding.
My late husband decorated that hotel! Such a good position for a beautiful place.
The food looks incredible and the puppy is a good host for the house. Reminds me of the guest house we stayed at in Stirling - they had a big Scottish Deer Hound called Kishmul who kept wandering into our room,we loved him.
I belive it’s 2 night minimum and £330 for the 2 nights.
Well how much for the b& b Steve great video thanks
Gonna book me a stay there I think.
18:10 That's a place known as 'Ship Space' - closed since the death of the owner (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShipSpace). The four-funnel ship is a 1:10 scale model of the Titanic.
I'm guessing it's 1:100 scale model?

@@colinmacdonald5732 Titanic was 269 metres long (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic). The model at Ship Space is definitely more than 2.69 metres long!
Used to be a Titanic museum thing on the Beauly road. You could see a big sign for it from the main road.
Greating to Scotland's bonny pair of travellers from West Coast Southern Africa
Cally Canal trip?? Wow! I'm definitely voting for that Steve!
Is Jacobite Cruises still a thing? I'm a bit out of touch with all things Inverness.
The model boat is the Titanic. The man who built it, and lived there, sadly died a couple of years ago.
When I saw the four stacks, I thought the same! Titanic. 👍🏼
My husband said straight away that it looked like a replica of the Titanic
It is Titanic. The buff colored stacks, mean White Star. The enclosed promenade deck means it's not Olympic. And the life boat davits aren't the gantry size that they put on the third sister the Britannic. Lovely model. Too bad it's out in the weather.
Wow, he was talented. That must have took him ages.

Great two podcast visit to Inverness. Thank you for the tour.
Two two are a delightful couple.....never boring .I am enjoying these videos immensely.
Yes please a canal cruise

Should have popped into Leakys bookstore, stunning wee place
Usually...especially me...having wifey along can be a drag ...when it comes to pubs and fun...but she rocks it...lucky man Steve!!!!
I am glad you gave a shout out to the BnB, looked an awesome place to stay, and a credit to the hospitality industry.
Both Inverness videos were amazing. Now on my bucket list. Europe videos can wait
What a great walking tour. It really shows the beauty of Inverness.
My daughter and I went to Inverness in March and will return again in a couple of weeks. We love it.

Perhaps your finest work to date, while nursing a hangover even! Or maybe due to the fact. Loved the banter, breakfast and boats.
I love you dearly Steven,but so much more when you bring your “Sidekick” with you !
I really think you guys should do that boating trip on the Caledonian canal, would make excellent viewing.
Lol a bit tender hangover in Inverness.. looking forward to it. .. breakfast looks great
Steve and Alicja, very nice vid! Göta is pronounced, phonetically, yoetah. Keep on filming and traveling!
I have to say Steve your videos are splendid it really makes my day .great viewing.
You two are the cutest! If you haven’t before do a bit on how you two met!
I’ve done that same walk. It’s lovely
That certainly looked a wonderful breakfast, just what is required after the night before.
Oh folks, I felt the hair the dog with you guys in the first five minutes of the video haha 😂
I’m watching it from this point on, but I’m stoked to see what the rest of the video holds haha.
No better way to end the video than with some ice cream!
Love you both! Tell Alicia I love seeing her wear that good clean Buckeye toboggan when she does.
Steve every weekend my friend and I watch your weeks videos. I love you dude and I pray for your good health and that you both are safe, happy, and healthy.
-Reese
What a beautiful walk! Thank you for taking us with you!
Another stunning Vlog love these Schottische vlogs such dramatic and wild panoramas thanks so much
What a fabulous b&b..😄..well done for filming after a pub crawl
Another great video.
The walk was interesting with the canals.
Well done Steve & Alicija.
I have put on about 3 kilos watching your videos and all the shots of food.
What a delightful video! Very well done, Alicja and Steve. A great view of a beautiful city. Nice! Carry on with more
I really enjoyed the both of you on your walk along the Calidonian Canal, i was shivering sitting here in my nice warm house. I don't know how you did it after night out on the town, briĺiant as ever. You are so natural, a lovely couple. ATB
another great video and good laugh inverness is so lovely
Some great content is always assured on this channel.
One of the best videos yet, love the entrance to the canal, and what a treasure of a guest house. Thanks Steve
We hired a boat from Caley Cruises. Fabulous trip (we were lucky with the weather).
Do it!
Wonderful videos, Steve Marsh! The wife and I really enjoy them. Cheers, from the U.S.
Thank you guys❤ refreshing and calm video, makes my nerves better, I enjoyed the walk very much
Thanks so much :)
Thank you for another great video, I can't go exploring at the moment my illness got worse so I can't make journeys but watching the both of yours has really gotten me through some difficult times, I know that might be said a lot on RUclips but genuinely the relaxing nature and exploring and your personalities just truly helped me through some tough times. Thank you.
My very favourite video ever. I roared with laughter. Hungover Alicijia is a comedy genius 😅
I do believe the word “wee” was spoken about 100 times in the “wee” video. 😀. Enjoyed it! Thanks
Yet another great start to a weekend. Thanks, Steve and Alicja. Your videos are always a great lift. That thought got me to thinking about the fact that nothing lasts forever.

Hi, wish you would show us some of the "wee" flowers along some of your walks.🙃🙏
A Spring walk with trees and a rushing river...perfect!
My home !!
Fabulous! Another great video. The Castle View Inn is superb, especially with Mia holding court!
What a lovely wee town/city great hospitality and food
You should go to Plockton the home of Hamish McBeth
Wonderful video. I want to go to Invernvess now.
You cant go to Inverness without visiting the Black Isle. Absolutely stunning and, where my family came from
I’m still hung over from watching last week’s video and now you are off walking around on a windy cool morning. Good for you both! Hope you are recovering in Newfoundland!
Another entertaining video. Thank you, Steve and Alicja. I felt the pain of your morning after. However, I was impressed with your resilience. I think most of us have been there, haha.
What a fantastic B&B. It's got to be one of the best I've ever seen.

Canal boat videos would be really cool to watch
Lol. The day after the night before. Legends 😂
A canal house boat cruise would be an excellent video.
Very enjoyable 🎉
What a lovely place to visit, one for the bucket list, great video both of you.
Oh my god, Mia is so cute! 😍🥹
I love your video style, and nice to see both of you doing videos together
That is some breakfast!
What an awesome guesthouse, so impressive!
Once she said it, I couldn't unsee it: Alicja, Ms. Shrimp of Inverness!
Definitely do the Caley Canal we've done it 3 times and well worth it. Caley Cruisers are brilliant easy to maneuver and loads of fun and very peaceful along the canal.
Recently stuck thinking where to go for food in Inverness recently, decided to head to the Innes Bar after your reccomendation. Only lived in Inverness for 30yrs and had never heard of it. The food was brilliant, cheers for the tip and will definitely be back.
There is never a bad time for ice cream BUT mint no ways reminds me of toothpaste 😂

That was a lovely trip to Inverness, thanks for showing us much more than we normally get in a video of the place. Cheers!
What a fabulous reminder of the reasons why I don't drink alcohol....love Inverness.
Great combo with the pub crawl. Really enjoyed, thankyou.
A great video again Steve. It was fantastic to see what Inverness has to offer.
My home city, love that you guys have visited!
I visited there last year and I can’t wait to return.
Mia is so cute❤
Caledonian Canal Cruise is a must, a couple of my friends did it, they loved it.
Do it
Do it
Do it 😊😊😊
Yes I can vouch for Inverness! The best city.
Enjoyed the video of Inverness
Inverness looks awesome ❤
What a glorious dinner! Both of them! Wonder if I'd get through the larger one.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Thank you for always taking me along.
I was there for a couple of days back in '91. Spent an entertaining evening at the bar near the blue car at 3:30. The hotel I stayed at was close to the one you did. What a beautiful town.
Great memories of my time spent working in Inverness, and the fantastic lunchtime walks around the city centre and beyond.
My wife and I were just in Scotland. We visited our son and wife in Gourdon and enjoyed Inverness. We followed your footsteps almost excactly,. Thanks for the fine tour. We're back home in the Puget Sound now enjoying our fall weather,
