3:02 3:02 Hey Guys. Supported NonStopDan since a long time back(2018?). Loved the content. Bought the Jetlag Hoodie and Fly T-Shirt for my wife and flown First on more than one occasion based on your tips, inputs and reviews. Watch you Oscar, getting more involved and creative. And then we watch you grow your own channel together. It's been a great journey from a voyuer and participation experience. Such is You Tube. And then you come to our home village in Dunkeld, and sit in the park by the river and the bridge, not even 30 seconds walk from our own 3:02 3:02 front door. Incredible, we are glad you loved it. Come and live in Scotland, there are worse places, and we love you for giving us another Wow moment. Love from us both. Glen and Kirsty
I have to be honest. I haven't even finished watching this video. First time seeing your channel on here probably because of the algorithms (im constantly looking as videos on Scotland) . I immediately said , well yelled at my computer lol, YES move to Scotland! lol I have NEVER been to Scotland or Europe at all. I have been watching videos and slowly planning to move to Scotland, God willing and my job..lol hopefully in a years time. by end of 2025. I fell in love with Scotland from afar. My heart is in Scotland while in USA. I've done EXTNSIVE DETAILED research on ALL Including the move process , visa process, work permit process every 6 months just to keep up with any changes. I say do it! the world is changing ..and I feel like MORE people are moving into Scotland of all places in the UK. Because of its beauty , cheaper cost of living, healthier foods peace ..PEACE!! LOL I wanted to retract my YES! to maybe hold of or no lol because I selfishly thought the lesser of people moving there will perhaps somehow have Scotland not make any of their move to their country restrictions MORE stricter! lol I cannot wait for the day that all of my thoughts and hopes and dreams to move , relocate there will finally come true. My journey is taking a bit longer to get there. But I feel in my heart it will. I don't even want to visit Scotland! why cause I wont leave! I just know it! lol so I need to make sure I do this right . Even if I ha to move to another country near it Ireland or England..My heart still aches and tuggs and says..NO it HAS to me It MUST be Scotland! Great video love the enthusiasm and personalities of you both. I haven't watched the entire video to see what your decision is , (still watching as I type lol lol ),but I wish you all the best! ❤from Chicago USA
Adding I love EVERYTHING about Scotland including its bipolar weather. I would prefer it to be ab it colder in the winters but I love the rain and wind. The only downfall I see is that many comes do not come with A/Cs lol The humidity may be an issue with me and the midges. So I will be moving where there are the least midges an for cool air it will be a fan and maybe if allowed (if im renting) a small AC (which is very rear I know 🙄) watched all of your video interesting check box list on rating the things that matters if you move there. Mines had 10 on all except the connectivity. yes I KNOW I havent been ther but! if it has sucky connectivity ..thats okay!..lol ☺
The beach at Morar was used as a location for the iconic film Local Hero...if you've not seen it , I highly recommend! I went on a walking holiday round Scotland when I finished high school in 1982 and ended up staying at a youth hostel near this beautiful beach just after they'd finished filming the movie and there were some remnants of the film set still there!...my friend painted a watercolour of the view across to Rhum and Eigg ( the islands you can see from the beach ) for our wedding
Edinburgh would be an excellent choice. Less rain in winter than on west coast of Scotland and the weather is generally mild compared to Sweden I think. No extremes in weather in the distinct 4 seasons. Transport links are good around Edinburgh/Glasgow . People are very friendly and welcoming. My rating would be 80-85.
You should visit Stirling Castle and the central region. The Trossachs is wonderful and especially Dukes Pass.❤ I moved to Scotland 3 years ago from the South East and would not go back.
The upside of Scotland's weather is that the winters are quite mild as well, and where Sweden's winter can strech into late spring, Scotland doesnt get too bad imo
@@wgrady222 have always been mild compared to others on the same latitude. doesn't matter how many years you go back. yes we get the odd few days when it's freezing and deep snow but even in the 70s when I grew up they were few and far between.
I think 2 points for the weather maybe a bit harsh . I think it really depends on where in Scotland you choose to settle down , i'm from Glasgow & we get a fair amount of rain but most of the time it's just a drizzle . 2 or 3 times a year we can get torrential downpours but they only last a day or two . At least once/twice a year we'll get gale force winds which is the backlash of tornado's from the Mexican gulf that the USA likes to send our way . The further north you go in Scotland there could more rain & winds than the rest of the country . But over in the east coast like Edinburgh they get more sunny days , not just Edinburgh but Berwickshire & Fife . I think if you stayed a year on the east coast your 2 points will maybe rise to 5 or 6 .
Scotland is full of micro climates. Yes, the west can be wet and mild, but the east coast (especially North Berwick and Dunbar) is famously dry, sunny and cool! Stunning coastline, amazing wildlife and beaches with views to die for. Edinburgh is about an hour by car and less by train.
I didn't visit Scotland, but when I was in England during the fall/autumn I was pleasantly surprised with the weather compared to how everyone usually describes it. I could see it being the similar in parts of Scotland. Also, not to be that annoying guy, but I think you mean "backlash of hurricanes from the Mexican Gulf". Those same hurricanes can cause tornadoes in the US, but tornadoes are usually fairly localized (with that being a relative and loose term).
Thanks for visiting! Hope you return one day. It's nice to hear people enjoy the food in Scotland (and the UK). Always hearing from people who often have never even visited that the food is awful when it really isn't the case. The local food can be a limited limited (although great quality), what really sets the UK apart (in my eyes) is as you have said, the variety of vegan, gluten free etc options and the variety of international options. Anyways, as I said, thanks so much for visiting and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Friends and I visited from the US(State of Georgia) and we LOVED THE FOOD! We went all over England, Wales and touched the Southern part of Scotland. Spent a month in the UK in total. I gotta tell y'all the world is MISSING OUT on Great Britain. The food in particular was phenomenal, we freaking LOVED Wetherspoons, Greggs and basically all the fish and chips shops. Your fries(chips) are to die for! Much much better than in the US.
Oh and we also went to Toby's carvery. While our buffets are huge and insanely overindulgent, I loved Toby's more. Maybe I missed buffets at that point but the food quality was amazing and the meat.... Best meat I've ever had.
Yes!!! Move to Scotland!!! Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL video!!! I am there with you!!! I would love to go but I am handicapped and deal with health issues. You guys are the best!!!
I think you scored all the most important things highly. The thing about the connectivity is that it's pretty easy and cheap to jump on a short flight somewhere you can get a better longer fight from.
Toured the north of Scotland during ten days in July 2022 incl Orkney, N500, Lewis and Harris and Isle of Skye. A must do trip! The most beautiful beach must be Luskentyre beach on Isle of Harris - photos of that beach was used in an ad for Thailand!!! "Same same but different",
Camusdarach Beach is STUNNING! I went there on a really hot day years ago and have the most beautiful photos! The water looks like the Caribbean with the rugged landscape of the Inner Hebrides in the background ❤ Also, that triangular house just off the beach is actually a holiday rental called Driftwood House. I’m very lucky and proud to call this beautiful country home 🏴 (despite the weather 😆)
Scotland is so beautiful. I love M &S stores! That bridge is very cool! Stunning is right. You are so lucky you found your bag. It would be a beautiful place to recharge your energy !
We did a road trip very similar to to the west coast portion of this a few months ago. The scenery is so beautiful. A few days on the road makes you want to see more... which is fine if the weather behaves.
We’re a blessed country: we have so much natural beauty and great infrastructure like schools and hospitals. I especially love where I live near Stirling because I’m right at the foot of the Ochil Hills and also within easy reach of our two biggest cities for my urban needs.
Loch Ness 36 km ( 23 miles) long and at its deepest point is 230 m ( 755 ft ) deep. Loch Ness has more freshwater than all the Lakes in England and Wales put together. Scotland has more than 30,000 freshwater Lochs ranging from small Lochans to the likes of Loch Ness and Loch Lomond. Scotland wouldn't have the lush green countryside that it has without the rain.
Great trip. I live in Erskine near Marr Hall and love my country. No matter how many times I’ve been to Glencoe, I am stunned by its beauty each time. Ironic that we are having temperatures 20+ oC at the minute!!
As a gay couple who also searched years long a place to settle, I would say you should consider Spain. It has combination of every good thing out there.
Nice video guys 😊 I live in North East Scotland and nobody seems to visit us 😂. On the plus side, we are much less rainy thanthe West Coast. Happy country hunting!
Oskar - I am the exact same when it comes to remoteness. There's something about far-flung outposts that is so fascinating to visit. It's one of the reasons I loved New Zealand and the South Pacific so much
i was on the steam train a few years back from fort william to mallaig via glenfinnan . I was luckier with the weather that day as was very sunny. If Scotland wasnt as rainy is a trade off as would not be so green.
Love it guys!! Also, I recommend you guys check out Corrur Station House as a nice getaway, would love to see you do a video on that! Very remote, only accessible by train or on foot!
you should make a circle round the airports you want to use, figure the travel distance and then decide - 2 days travel from the highlands to fly to ny
Next time in Scotland you should visit Knoydart! Most remote part of mainland Scotland and can only be reached by hiking into it or getting a boat (only about an hour) from Mallaig. And as a bonus if you get the train up to Mallaig it will go over Glenfinnan viaduct except in a normal scotrail train haha
I spent the first 10 years of my life, living on an island in Greece called Gavdos. It’s the most southern island in Europe, very small population, hasn’t changed very much since i lived there, 22 years ago… Highly recommend, if you life remoteness, peace and tranquility.
You have connectivity from Inverness down as KLM flies to schipol from Inverness, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. For instance, I can fly from ABZ (Aberdeen) to Seoul South Korea in just 171/2hrs that with a just under 2hr stopover at Schipol. As Scotland is non schengen, you just go through to the gate or stop in the business class lounge. As for Amazon same day delivery, there's a massive warehouse just outside Edinburgh in Dunfermline. Internet connectivity is good in Edinburgh, especially virgin, as they're currently offering 2k. Also, a settled Europeans will be entitled to vote in Scottish elections. Scottish school they teach diversity as part of the curriculum and dropped clause 28. Also Scotland is currently the only place where you can be married in church in the UK (got to love those episcopalians.) Hope this helps.❤
Aye - Very good - Im old enough to remember when tourist were few and far between and the most well known Potter was Pansy Potter The Strong Mans Daughter
Would love to see you in Scotland - how about the Moray coast on the north east? Much less rainy in the east (this coast is known as the Riviera of the North), and handy for both Inverness and Aberdeen airports (KLM Cityhopper flights to Amsterdam so no need to go through - shudder - Heathrow). Lots of lovely beaches and countryside. Forres / Findhorn good for vegan food! And if you are in the market for schools , Gordonstoun - co-ed international education. And - healthcare? We have the NHS in the UK...
Enjoyed Scotland during my university days where 10 of us rented 2 cars and drove all the way from London and roam around Scotland and stayed 1 night in Inverness and 1 might in Fort William 😊
i live in scotland, it is gorgeous! im so glad you had a great time, i was at the same concert. (you shoukd consider it, just be prepared for the weather 😂❤)
To be fair to Edinburgh regarding connectivity, there are also more than daily flights to Doha and Istanbul in addition to the European destinations so the "United, yay!" comment was a bit harsh 😂😂
100% agree with you Oskar! Searching google maps for cool locations is the way to do it 🙌 😍 it almost never disappoints. Also I think Dan may be in love with M&S 😂 rightfully so! It’s the best! Beautiful video guys! Loved seeing you all travel together.
The first video I see of you and 😍 and I’m vegan as well so that’s a big plus Lol. I’m planning a trip to Scotland in a couple of months so I came across you 2. Thank you
I throughly enjoyed your video. During the summer months in Scotland it doesn’t start getting dark to around 10-11 at night depending on the weather . If you have freckles & fair skin like myself we don’t like it too hot as we burn in the sun . I actually love rain & a good thunderstorm with lightning. I thought you gave us a decent score lads 👌🏻🏴
That monument where you were watching the train - Years ago me and a friend went to see it - It was winter so the place was deserted - We walked up the path and as we got to the monument a small jet plane flew overhead pretty low - On the way back down the path we found lying right in the middle of the path a big solid cylinder shaped block of ice big enough to kill you if it had landed on your head - It must have fallen from the jet plane that flew over
Summers used to be a thing in Scotland. Not the hottest and not the driest obv but something changed last summer and its continued into this summer. Never in my life have i seen this much rain..and you used to get a good few weeks of decent(ish) temps but it seems to be stuck at about 16 degrees c these days.
I’m not complaining I don’t like it to hot but you’re correct it’s been extremely wet , on the plus we don’t have to worry about water shortages not to mention our drinking water is of the highest quality in the Uk as are our rivers.
Great to see you guys in my home nation as I returned home this year. As a kid, I remember driving along the north road of Loch Ness and I never took my eyes off the loch, not for a second, not sure I even blinked. Travel is an issue as Heathrow is a way better hub. But Heathrow connections are terrible and I now overnight at the Sofitel (pretty expensive option). I average 100 flights a year so that’s a pain. I spent recent years in Singapore and I had forgotten how dark it gets here, cloudy summers and the short winter days(similar to Gothenburg). Edinburgh is as good a place to live as anywhere and I’ve lived all over the world. The arts; the food, the city itself… I love being back, but the weather… Nevertheless, would love you guys to chose Scotland. Don’t let me put you off.
You should have driven the North Coast 500. Also you need to visit the North East Coast. I live 50 miles north of Aberdeen and the coast is gorgeous. Glad you had such a fun time 😊
Love Edinburgh - Worked there for a while, but not fussed on the climate. Also worked in Stockholm and loved that city , but again winter weather is an issue and I am hopeless at Swedish. LA for 2 years turned me off the USA as a place to live (never again) . Eventually ended up in NZ with better climate, good food, super easy going folk and easy living. Only big disadvantage is connectivity.
Scotland looks fantastic in summer but not so much when it rains! Glad you're having a great time! Hope to see you further south like Brighton, Bristol etc
Disagree 100%....the rainclouds, the misty mountain tops give Scotland a moody mystical which goes above and beyond ......you should learn to appreciate rain
Water is a very precious commodity and ours is so good straight from the tap (faucet) so all that rain benefits us ,the flora and fauna and of course a very famous Scottish product WHISKY * (without the E).Other countries call it Summer ,in parts of Scotland, Summer is 4 hours on a random Wednesday in July or August. but we like it that way. Scotland has a fantastic music scene too which is often overlooked. Many Scottish trad musicians and singers on here at RUclips...RURA ,..PROJECT SMOK...JULIE FOWLIS....MANRAN....NITE WORKS...VALTOS...ROSS AINSLIE ...NATI DREDD...any of those names in the search box on here at RUclips will lead you to many ,many more Scottish voices ,songs and tunes.
Ps if ever transiting through Manchester, I only live 10 mins drive from the airport and a 4 min walk to M&S Food Hall so feel free to pop around ! Am off to try the ginger beer !
Scotland is beautiful! Love your video! ❤️ Looking at your criteria for place to live, you guys should consider Oceanside, California, sunshine/ beautiful beach town/ not too expensive (yet)/ convenient/ short drive away from both San Diego and LA
Trip looked amazing! What time of year were you there? It looked chilly and I’m assuming you were there a few months ago. Scotland has always been on my list.
@@goodemilyWe have a had very strange weather this past decade , mild winters and mild summers. It seems our seasons just flow into each other now with the odd day of “extremes” ie frost in winter and the occasional hot sunny day in the summer! The white winters of my youth (the 1970s and 80s) and the brown parched fairways of those summers seem long gone. Everything is now a vivid green here in Scotland.
Brilliant💙 it doesn’t rain as much as it seems😁 Much love from Edinburgh, guys💙🏴 Ps: apparently there are glasses you can get to stop sea-sickness.. I’ve never tried them but heard that they do work😄x
What a fabulous video... really enjoyed it so much, When i returned to live back in the UK from Asia i was blown away with all the veggie/vegan options... the weather i love as we have seasons and Singapore definitely didnt , Scotland i think you gave a fair score and as for Edinburgh i love it.. truly amazing countryside and views when you travel outside of the city, I think you did a great job guys of showing it at its best even in the rain, how many M&S shops did you actually end up visiting haha.. that was the my go to shop in Asia for true veggie/Vegan options .. thanks for sharing 🙂
I live 10 minutes from a markies and still get just as excited when I go 😂 hope they compensated you with a lifetime supply of Percy pigs for your rave reviews! Agree with all your Scotland scores. Love living in my home country just now, but the weather kills me 😅
The day after I was at Loch Ness there was a ton of Nessie sightings. It was a heatwave and a farm of llamas broke out and went wading. Loch Llamas! 😂🦕
Hello guys u should check out North Wales . Im 45 minutes away from Liverpool, 1 hour away from Manchester and around beautiful landscapes. You get a bit of both
Mention 2 of my favourite places in the world…Dunkeld (where I’ll be in 2 months) and Queenstown (yes literally other side of the world). Even noted the car park at the end of Dunkeld high st edited into Edinburgh segment !
What do you think of our final score for Scotland as a place to live?😉 Let us know how you would rate it in the comments! Thank you guys for watching as always, you're the best❤

A wise decision! (Confirmed by a proud Scotsman living just outside of Glasgow 🙃)

Winter is coming.

You would both find Scotland very welcoming to you and your future family aspirations, with excellent schools and health services in Edinburgh.
Education levels in Scotland are poor at best and the NHS is in utter crisis so I'm not sure where your take on these points has come from??
Scotland is stunning 😊

@@tomekmeszka8586 i have lived there it's mild compared to canada or scandinavia
the UK has mild winters compared to other countries of the same latitude. I think Edinburgh is further north than Moscow.

I love Clair and Peter,this is the best travel quadruple ever 🤍
We love them too!!
If Scotland wasn't so rainy & had more sun it would not be so absolutely beautiful. It is a trade off that I am not willing to do.
We put up with the rain because it provides us with lots of greenery and ensures we have great food.
Scares off shallow tourists though! And than God for that!
Yes!!! Move to Scotland!!! Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL video!!! I am there with you!!! I would love to go but I am handicapped and deal with health issues. You guys are the best!!!
So beautiful even with the clouds and rain, glad you got at least some sun!

I love Scotland too but, Americans can only legally stay for 6 months how are people moving there so easily?
Scotland is definitely on my bucket list. I agree that Queenstown is one of my favorite spots in the world. Also love Cape Town.

Great VIEWS !!! Oskar's voice is melonic. Happy Traveling !!!
I live just outside Edinburgh and love Scotland but I do agree about the weather wish it was a bit warmer!
Such beautiful scenery…..always a joy to travel with you..
Nice video guys 😊 I live in North East Scotland and nobody seems to visit us 😂. On the plus side, we are much less rainy thanthe West Coast. Happy country hunting!
Don't decide till you stay through our Scottish winter!
Oskar - I am the exact same when it comes to remoteness. There's something about far-flung outposts that is so fascinating to visit. It's one of the reasons I loved New Zealand and the South Pacific so much
i was on the steam train a few years back from fort william to mallaig via glenfinnan . I was luckier with the weather that day as was very sunny. If Scotland wasnt as rainy is a trade off as would not be so green.
Love it guys!! Also, I recommend you guys check out Corrur Station House as a nice getaway, would love to see you do a video on that! Very remote, only accessible by train or on foot!
you should make a circle round the airports you want to use, figure the travel distance and then decide - 2 days travel from the highlands to fly to ny
Next time in Scotland you should visit Knoydart! Most remote part of mainland Scotland and can only be reached by hiking into it or getting a boat (only about an hour) from Mallaig. And as a bonus if you get the train up to Mallaig it will go over Glenfinnan viaduct except in a normal scotrail train haha
I spent the first 10 years of my life, living on an island in Greece called Gavdos.
It’s the most southern island in Europe, very small population, hasn’t changed very much since i lived there, 22 years ago…
Highly recommend, if you life remoteness, peace and tranquility.
You have connectivity from Inverness down as KLM flies to schipol from Inverness, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. For instance, I can fly from ABZ (Aberdeen) to Seoul South Korea in just 171/2hrs that with a just under 2hr stopover at Schipol. As Scotland is non schengen, you just go through to the gate or stop in the business class lounge. As for Amazon same day delivery, there's a massive warehouse just outside Edinburgh in Dunfermline. Internet connectivity is good in Edinburgh, especially virgin, as they're currently offering 2k. Also, a settled Europeans will be entitled to vote in Scottish elections.
Scottish school they teach diversity as part of the curriculum and dropped clause 28. Also Scotland is currently the only place where you can be married in church in the UK (got to love those episcopalians.) Hope this helps.❤
Aye - Very good - Im old enough to remember when tourist were few and far between and the most well known Potter was Pansy Potter The Strong Mans Daughter
I could see you guys settling in Scotland. With M&S and all that natural beauty, you can’t go wrong.
Thanks for visiting Scotland. Come and stay in St Andrews on the east cost. You would love the town and you’re only one hour from Edinburgh. 🏴
Would love to see you in Scotland - how about the Moray coast on the north east? Much less rainy in the east (this coast is known as the Riviera of the North), and handy for both Inverness and Aberdeen airports (KLM Cityhopper flights to Amsterdam so no need to go through - shudder - Heathrow). Lots of lovely beaches and countryside. Forres / Findhorn good for vegan food! And if you are in the market for schools , Gordonstoun - co-ed international education. And - healthcare? We have the NHS in the UK...
Enjoyed Scotland during my university days where 10 of us rented 2 cars and drove all the way from London and roam around Scotland and stayed 1 night in Inverness and 1 might in Fort William 😊
i live in scotland, it is gorgeous! im so glad you had a great time, i was at the same concert. (you shoukd consider it, just be prepared for the weather 😂❤)
To be fair to Edinburgh regarding connectivity, there are also more than daily flights to Doha and Istanbul in addition to the European destinations so the "United, yay!" comment was a bit harsh 😂😂
Yes! Bring your waterproofs but you will love it 😃
100% agree with you Oskar! Searching google maps for cool locations is the way to do it 🙌 😍 it almost never disappoints. Also I think Dan may be in love with M&S 😂 rightfully so! It’s the best! Beautiful video guys! Loved seeing you all travel together.
The first video I see of you and 😍 and I’m vegan as well so that’s a big plus Lol. I’m planning a trip to Scotland in a couple of months so I came across you 2. Thank you
Also.. sun is good for ur mood, but I’d argue the greenery is even better😌😁 And whenever it is sunny or a nice day you appreciate it much more😉
We'd make you welcome.
All the best from Edinburgh.
I throughly enjoyed your video. During the summer months in Scotland it doesn’t start getting dark to around 10-11 at night depending on the weather . If you have freckles & fair skin like myself we don’t like it too hot as we burn in the sun . I actually love rain & a good thunderstorm with lightning. I thought you gave us a decent score lads 👌🏻🏴
That monument where you were watching the train - Years ago me and a friend went to see it - It was winter so the place was deserted - We walked up the path and as we got to the monument a small jet plane flew overhead pretty low - On the way back down the path we found lying right in the middle of the path a big solid cylinder shaped block of ice big enough to kill you if it had landed on your head - It must have fallen from the jet plane that flew over
Dan, it’s time to start keeping your stuff on you at all times. No more using storage on the planes or removing bags when at the beach. 🥰
Summers used to be a thing in Scotland. Not the hottest and not the driest obv but something changed last summer and its continued into this summer. Never in my life have i seen this much rain..and you used to get a good few weeks of decent(ish) temps but it seems to be stuck at about 16 degrees c these days.
I’m not complaining I don’t like it to hot but you’re correct it’s been extremely wet , on the plus we don’t have to worry about water shortages not to mention our drinking water is of the highest quality in the Uk as are our rivers.
Great to see you guys in my home nation as I returned home this year.
As a kid, I remember driving along the north road of Loch Ness and I never took my eyes off the loch, not for a second, not sure I even blinked.
Travel is an issue as Heathrow is a way better hub. But Heathrow connections are terrible and I now overnight at the Sofitel (pretty expensive option). I average 100 flights a year so that’s a pain.
I spent recent years in Singapore and I had forgotten how dark it gets here, cloudy summers and the short winter days(similar to Gothenburg).
Edinburgh is as good a place to live as anywhere and I’ve lived all over the world. The arts; the food, the city itself…
I love being back, but the weather…
Nevertheless, would love you guys to chose Scotland. Don’t let me put you off.
Appreciate this a lot🙏🏼 Welcome back home!
You guys need to perform a pairwise comparison which incorporates weighting to properly compare
Looking forward to seeing other places rated. Liked the sunshine score 🌞
As a Scottish fan of your channel you should DEFINITELY move to the best wee country in the world!😏😉🏴
Good job everyone .
You’d be very welcome, glad you like it here
I find your guy’s videos absolutely charming! Love both your channels!
That's so sweet🥹 Thank you❤️
You should have driven the North Coast 500. Also you need to visit the North East Coast. I live 50 miles north of Aberdeen and the coast is gorgeous.
Glad you had such a fun time 😊
Love Edinburgh - Worked there for a while, but not fussed on the climate. Also worked in Stockholm and loved that city , but again winter weather is an issue and I am hopeless at Swedish. LA for 2 years turned me off the USA as a place to live (never again) . Eventually ended up in NZ with better climate, good food, super easy going folk and easy living. Only big disadvantage is connectivity.
Yes Welcome to Scotland 🏴🏴🇮🇹🇮🇹. I am Italian nurse retired with British passport. Brilliant content.
Scotland looks fantastic in summer but not so much when it rains! Glad you're having a great time!
Hope to see you further south like Brighton, Bristol etc
Have to disagree , clouds , rain only adds to Scotlands beauty if it’s sun your after , there’s always Spain 🇪🇸
Disagree 100%....the rainclouds, the misty mountain tops give Scotland a moody mystical which goes above and beyond ......you should learn to appreciate rain
Scotland us beautiful and Glencoe is a heavenly on Earth for me. And i am from Thailand.
We do have warm summers. Just not this one.
I love Oskar's "brick" to skip rocks...LOL..it went "THUMP"..What a great video...I wish you could see the Loch Ness Monster!!!!
Play those bagpipes
Water is a very precious commodity and ours is so good straight from the tap (faucet) so all that rain benefits us ,the flora and fauna and of course a very famous Scottish product WHISKY * (without the E).Other countries call it Summer ,in parts of Scotland, Summer is 4 hours on a random Wednesday in July or August. but we like it that way.
Scotland has a fantastic music scene too which is often overlooked. Many Scottish trad musicians and singers on here at RUclips...RURA ,..PROJECT SMOK...JULIE FOWLIS....MANRAN....NITE WORKS...VALTOS...ROSS AINSLIE ...NATI DREDD...any of those names in the search box on here at RUclips will lead you to many ,many more Scottish voices ,songs and tunes.
I suppose it's just perspective. I moved from Ed to Fife ( much prefer Fife ) but hate the rain.
Ps if ever transiting through Manchester, I only live 10 mins drive from the airport and a 4 min walk to M&S Food Hall so feel free to pop around ! Am off to try the ginger beer !
LOL, the Loch!!! - sorry. That is why it's not called the Lake Ness monster. Lol...really sorry lol
Yes please stop calling it a lake. Its not England its a loch in Scotland. We consider ourselves different from the English.
They pulled a Halifax bomber out of Loch Ness in the 1970’s and restored it.Its now in Brooklands museum near London.
The one with the Barry Gibb teeth is kinda hot so glad you loved my beautiful Scotland
Scotland is beautiful! Love your video! ❤️
Looking at your criteria for place to live, you guys should consider Oceanside, California, sunshine/ beautiful beach town/ not too expensive (yet)/ convenient/ short drive away from both San Diego and LA
Trip looked amazing! What time of year were you there? It looked chilly and I’m assuming you were there a few months ago. Scotland has always been on my list.
It was June and the temperature was literally 8 degrees😭
@@OskarandDan oh wow. I I didn’t realize it got that cold in the summer.
@@goodemilyWe have a had very strange weather this past decade , mild winters and mild summers. It seems our seasons just flow into each other now with the odd day of “extremes” ie frost in winter and the occasional hot sunny day in the summer!
The white winters of my youth (the 1970s and 80s) and the brown parched fairways of those summers seem long gone.
Everything is now a vivid green here in Scotland.
Brilliant💙 it doesn’t rain as much as it seems😁
Much love from Edinburgh, guys💙🏴
Ps: apparently there are glasses you can get to stop sea-sickness.. I’ve never tried them but heard that they do work😄x
I think Peter looked totally pissed of most of the trip 😂
Yes, you should. Been here 17 years.
Speaking of engagements, when are you lads going to take the leap?
Looks so green
What a fabulous video... really enjoyed it so much, When i returned to live back in the UK from Asia i was blown away with all the veggie/vegan options... the weather i love as we have seasons and Singapore definitely didnt , Scotland i think you gave a fair score and as for Edinburgh i love it.. truly amazing countryside and views when you travel outside of the city, I think you did a great job guys of showing it at its best even in the rain, how many M&S shops did you actually end up visiting haha.. that was the my go to shop in Asia for true veggie/Vegan options .. thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you🙏🏼 And we lost count of the number of M&S stores🤣
I live 10 minutes from a markies and still get just as excited when I go 😂 hope they compensated you with a lifetime supply of Percy pigs for your rave reviews! Agree with all your Scotland scores. Love living in my home country just now, but the weather kills me 😅
The day after I was at Loch Ness there was a ton of Nessie sightings. It was a heatwave and a farm of llamas broke out and went wading. Loch Llamas! 😂🦕
I have been to fort William and I have been going every single year since I was born
Scotland has a lot of natural tourism, if people are a lot into forests i think is the best place to go.
Hi from Edinburgh.Was the bakery you visited in Dunkeld ARAN? That one is owned by former Great British Bake Off contestant Flora Shedden.
At 15:23, this is Loch Shiel, the black lake of Hogwarts.
Hello guys u should check out North Wales . Im 45 minutes away from Liverpool, 1 hour away from Manchester and around beautiful landscapes. You get a bit of both
Google Luskentyre beach on Isle of Harris 😍
Yes
As a Potterhead I love this so much 😍❤️
Wow so pretty boys. Love the nature.
LOVE YOU GUYS
I love Scotland so!! We have land there that we are building a house on incase 45 wins we have to place to move to. Looks like you guys had a blast!!
Wow, that sounds amazing🙌🏼
Mention 2 of my favourite places in the world…Dunkeld (where I’ll be in 2 months) and Queenstown (yes literally other side of the world). Even noted the car park at the end of Dunkeld high st edited into Edinburgh segment !
Queenstown is everything🥹
