LEAVING SCOTLAND 😢| St Andrews Cathedral & St Rules Tower | Fife Travel Vlog

- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2019
- In our final travel vlog from Scotland and the UK we explore the amazing St Andrews, a gem of Fife and one of the most... ⬇ More Below ⬇
Today we tackle the amazing St Andrews, exploring the cathedral ruins and scoping out the views across St Andrews from atop of St Rules Tower!
As our time in Scotland comes to an end we can't help but feel so impressed, blessed and in love with this country! Fife in particular has blown us away with it's beautiful seaside villages, huge list of things to do and so much going one - not something always associated with the UK.
St Andrews is so much more than just the home of golf - it's got a very special presence and some incredible tales about it's church, cathedral and St Rules Tower as well.
Scotland has definitely been kind to us with the weather, we've had 95% sun during our time in Fife! That's far from normal, but any chance to explore St Andrews in the sunshine is a win in our books. Speaking of our time in Scotland, if you want to see more of our trip here's the full playlist of our time in this epic country - bit.ly/30ApLuo

So where do we travel next? 🤔 Stay until the end for a preview of the next vlog & next country! 🏴 Want to see more of Scotland? Here's the full playlist of our time in this epic country - bit.ly/30ApLuo
Daneger and Stacey Welcome back anytime, guys. Thanks for such a positive review of my country. X
There’s the sea life centre in st andrews
Daneger and Stacey watched 1 of the video of 🏴 and must of watched 6-7 now great reviews for best wee country in world
I just wanted to say thank you. I've lived in Fife my whole life and when people travel to Scotland they usually only try the usual tourist things, but they always miss Fife and we have so much amazing things. So thanks for showing it off and hopefully encouraging more people to come explore
That's so nice to hear, thanks Holly!
I’m a bit of a history nerd (Rhett). I’d love to explore Scotland. It’s so rich with history! Looks like you’ve had some great weather (except for the chilly wind) during your stay there too🌞
Definitely a lot of history for you to dig into, Rhett! A few things we had to strip from the videos cos we, or our guides, went so deep into the history it would be TMI for most people... not for you!
Daneger and Stacey not for me at all! But o get it, you definitely have to take it out of the vlogs. Still, you did well to keep in some very interesting facts😊
Scotland and Greece are probably my favorite countries, so I'm just so excited!
Ah the perfect combo!
Have just sat through your Fife travel vlog and being a Fifer born and bred I was very impressed with your interpretation of our little kingdom you have painted a beautiful picture of what's on offer here and it makes me proud to be a Fifer...thank you
Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment, John. Glad we did you and Fife proud.
You have truly captured the essence of Scotland in all your vlogs whilst there...and I loved every one of them! I'm so pleased that you featured the history and antiquity of this beautiful place. Thank you so much. Moving right along, headed for Greece and I can't wait.
By the way...I really enjoy the 'teaser' video that you show at the end to give us just a glimpse of what's to come. Well done!
Nice to hear you're enjoying the little teaser - think we'll be looking to keep that in there! Takes a bit more time, but definitely keeps things interesting waiting a few days for the next one
*The* oldest university in Scotland. If it was a Sunday the Students would have been walking the pier. St Rules church was built on the site of an older Celtic Church, stemming from the 4th century CE. The opening scenes of Chariots of Fire were filmed on the west sands at St Andrews.
Love St Andrews went there on holiday when I was in my mid teens, nothing to do for someone that age but I loved just chilling on the harbour wall chatting with my mate.
I should be used to it by now but every time I watch one of your videos I’m surprised by the quality of it. The way everything is shot and edited, the music and just the whole vibe of it all is amazing. You always manage to find the perfect balance between talking to the camera and showing off everything around you; between giving us lots of interesting information and letting the pictures speak for themselves. Keep up the wonderful work , I’m looking forward to all the future adventures you’ll be sharing with us :)
You win top comment for the day - we both sat here smiling reading this and loved it. Thanks for warming our hearts today.
I have just found this vlog and the others from Fife, and Lewis and Harris. What a lovely couple you are. I’m so impressed by your sensitivity and respect you’ve shown towards my home country. Thank you for capturing such fabulous footage and your appreciation of the experience. Has been wonderful to see your visit to Fife too, so few vloggers ever go there. Welcome back any time 🏴
Thank you so much! That really means a lot, glad you've enjoyed!
Yay! Yay! Yay! Greece, exciting!
First ep coming today!
@@DanegerAndStacey it'll be the first thing I do tomorrow morning with coffee in bed ❤
Hello I’m korean boy! 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
I like your video 🙆🏻♂️🙏🏻✨
I’m your big fan ❤️💚🧡💙💜
Hey 🖐🏼 Thanks for the love!
Looks like a great area. Nice vlog, thanks for sharing!
Cheers Bruce - such a cool place
I grew up in Tayport 1 1/2 miles west of St Andrews go to St Andrews a lot . St Andrew's is also the starting point of The Fife Coastal Route.
Such a beautiful part of the country!
Proud be Scottish im from Dundee glad yous had good time guys
You should be proud! Thanks, we loved it
Thank you so much for your Fife videos! I have really enjoyed watching them and your enthusiasm really shone through. As a Fife resident for 20 years, I realised that I haven't seen half of the places you visited and it has encouraged me to go out and explore so much more of the things which are local to me! Thanks again :-)
So glad to hear that Dave!
Two smashing people - hope you'll come back some day.
Cheers, John - we will soon!
Was at St Andrews just the other week with my missus and kids, meeting my brother and his family over from the states. First time I'd been in 10 years and first time my kids had been at all. They loved it. Even the castle, which didn't have a great deal to see, kept my kids busy and occupied for a while. Didn't have time to go to the cathedral.Pity, many of Scotland's castles, cathedrals and abbeys are mainly ruins, thanks primarily to Henry 8th and Cromwell.
Glad you took the fam and everyone enjoyed - theres definitely a lot going on there and such an insanely beautiful setting as well huh!
"Let the winds blow high,
Let the winds blow low,
Down the street in my kilt I go
And all the ladies say hello
Donald where's your troosers?!"
Now me and my husband have this song stuck in our heads, too!! 😂😂
Haha yup - we went to sleep on this night with it just implanted in there!
Andy Stewart, the boss
'A lassie took me to a ball,
and it was slippery in the hall,
an a wis feart(afraid) that ah wid fall,
'cause a hudnae oan ma troosers!
I believe the next verse is an impersonation of Elvis
Daneger and Stacey .............heres a rude one you wont get out your head LOL....its the "ball of kirriemuir".... kirriemuir is in angus and home of peter pan (j.m.barrie author).
ruclips.net/video/y64uWjtSKAo/видео.html
You also have glamis village and glamis castle nearby which yould both love to see - its amazing......then down to arbroath for delicious fish and chips at the harbour or why not try fresh smoked kippers - mmmm delicious.....then down to bonnie Dundee (where i live)& the new V&A museum at waterfront - right next to captain Scotts ship Discovery then a trip up "the law" hill for a panoramic 360 degree view of Dundee and the hills of fife beyond to the south or sidlaw/angus hills to the north....then head east to Broughty Ferry :)

Lovely vlog and St Andrews is somewhere I want to go this year. So thanks for giving us the low down... THose steaks... nom nom nom!!!
Definitely worth a look Michael - we didn't really do St Andrews justice, could send a full day there exploring
It is amazing video for me!! keep uploading ❤️
Always more to come!
🏴 Thank you for sharing with your followers my bonnie wee Scotland. I have loved your videos. Haste ye back! Oh and my friend's grandfather is Andy Stewart and lived in my hometown of Arbroath. The man who sings "Donald where's your trousers" #Factoftheday
Oh no way?! That's a crazy coincidence! Gotta love that song
Always love following your blog journeys, and Greece is great ,so look forward to watching this part of your travels..oh that lovely blue sea its been a monsoon the past couple of days here in Yorkshire. Have a fab time both you😎❤
Thanks for following along. The water in Greece is ridiculous!
I really enjoyed your series in New Zealand and so thought I'd check out some of your other videos- so glad I did because I am from Fife, and used to live in St Andrews but haven't been able to go back in over a year because of covid, so this was a nice trip back!
Hi guys. I LOVE your vlogs. I am Scottish but live in Spain now. Thank you so much for highlighting my country and going to places I have never been. I hope I take the leap to do what you both have done one day....I have been to around 35 countries....but I envy you both. Such a fantastic couple. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness xx
35 countries is definitely impressive for someone who's not doing it full-time, nice work! Thanks for the kind words, Leigh.
I had to listen to that song, and now it's become an earworm. Thanks ;)
Ahhh sorry about that hahaha
Scotlands gonna miss you guys.best videos ive seen on youtube regarding scotland and all to see.
Means a lot - thank you!
Scotland trip was Epic :)
What a stunning old castle. It must have been massive originally, wow. I can imagine on a moonlight night it would feel horror movie spooky.
Love that smoky smelling barn restaurant. Served on a wooden block no less, Yummy
Fun series.
GREECE next! YAY
Best, James and Kim
The scale must have been insane before hand! Greece is such a special place, can't wait to share.
It's not that creepy, we used to sneak in over the fence at night times and sit at the bottle dungeon and drink vodka, Madras days!
Hello guys. I just watched all of your Scotland vids and was delighted to see you had a great time (although I was rather confused by that big yellow thing in the sky, never seen it before?). Thanks for showing my country in such a lovely way, we often take for granted what is right on our doorstep. Stay safe on your travels, ‘Haste Ye Back’🏴🇳🇿
Thanks Iain - yeah it was a bit weird, that big yellow thing actually followed us for about 9 days and wouldn't piss off. We got used to it, never took it for granted, but definitely a bit odd.
Had a blast following your tour of my homeland.Given me the motivation to explore more of it myself. (Also great camera work & informative,non shouty presentation.Good job guys👏👏)
Haha that means a lot, thanks Martin
glad you enjoyed visiting the ancient kingdom of fife.......loving your videos......haste ye back....x
We loved it, thanks Carol
I did it! I watched all of your videos since the beginning, after I came across your channel a while ago. I really enjoy following your adventures, and I can't wait to see your next destination.
No way?! That's seriously impressive. Hope you've found the quality and style improve and develop over that time
Daneger and Stacey I only skipped a few “costs of living” videos about places I’m not really interested in visiting, but other than that, I watched everything. And yes, I sure did!
That steak looks awesome!! I cant wait for the next vlog..... GREECE!!!♡♡♡
Worth every penny! You guys been to Greece?
Yeah, you were right about the song - can't get it out of my head! Hahaha. Though I love it, made my evening!
Same with us - only just started to get it out of our heads haha
Come back and do the North Coast 500 in a campervan!
That sounds pretty rad
That's probably the first time the word rad has been used to describe theNC500😁
If you ever come back to Scotland, try Glasgow and the west coast and outer hebrides, they will blow your mind.
Nice film... 👌🔥My parents were both from the Kingdom as they call it... If you Ken wot ah mean.. 🤗.. You should have checked Crail out as it is a gem of a little fishing village with a nice harbour and beach.. but you can't do everywhere... You certainly seem to of enjoyed bonny Scotland though.. 👌👌🔥😀
Hola from Costa del Sol, Spain! 🇪🇸Of all your recent scary staircases that was the scariest! The song Donald where's yer trousers takes me back to my early folk music scene days in the 70s where it was a popular turn!! 😂
Hola! Hope you're loving it there and got some great weather. Also hope we didn't get Donald where's yer trousers stuck in your head for too long
Loved the Scotland series!!!
Such spectacular photography!
Llamas and sheep-too cute.
I never eat fish...hate it, but you made me want a bite of your fish and chips!! All the food looks amazing.
What a beautiful trip you had.
My husband has started watching RUclips and I found him watching your Croatia series!!! He was so excited to tell me about this new channel!! Haha!! Showed him my subscriptions!
Although we only count as one subscriber you’ve another faithful follower.
Continued safe travels!
Ah Terese this was a lovely comment to read! Glad you've been enjoying and your hubby stumbled across us as well! Hoping we can sneak a little trip back to Scotland some time soon
Thanks for responding!
You’ve got soooo many comments I commend you for giving your followers attention!!
Remember, as I commented before, we have family in southeastern Slovenia who would love to show you the lay of the land!! Take good care
Shall we say it finally? Poland is in the past, your new best place is Fife! :)
It's been said people! It's official! 🎺 The king and queen have spoken 🤣
@@DanegerAndStacey although i hoped slovenia will be number one on your list...but i am ok with Fife too! :)
I've absolutely loved you guys tour of Scotland😎 I'm ever so slightly jelous to be honest. I've never had an Anstruther fish supper😂 well done to you Dane on eating your fish with your hands. Thats the best way👌🏼 Great content.
So glad you've enjoyed, pleased I ate the fish the right way as well haha. Keep well and thanks for the positivity 👍🏼
Small houses and tight stairs - don't forget that people back then were a lot smaller too.
True. We heard it's to do with sword fighting as well, the right handed holder below can't really swing the sword
@@DanegerAndStacey That's why people in the UK drive on the left. It was the same with horses. Leaves your sword arm free.
You do know that kiwi's are thought of as cousins in scotland! I've really your tour and excellent camera work! and it looks like you got scotland in the middle of a sunshine phase thats very rare here!
Should try Wallace's monument Stirling. Its 246 steps with spectacular views
inspired me to get my channel back up and running, improv trip to york tomorrow from fife. pick up the camera. HASTE YE BACK!
You better have taken that improv trip, Robert - holding you accountable here... did you film yet?!
@@DanegerAndStacey in york, picked up a new a6400 and vlogged a bit today. even my misses is getting involved! :D
Putting every video on the playlist and letting it stream on its own while I do the cooking. I see that you have one Korean fan, oh this is getting so international. Your avid fan from the PH ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️🇵🇭
Hope you're cooking for like 13 hours haha! Whatcha making?
@@DanegerAndStacey I actually did that with your BGC vid. LOL. But I wasn't cooking that time. Just made Spaghetti Carbonara for me and my Filipino friends. 🇵🇭
ahh yes Greece will be gorgeous i'm sure. heading out there in a week myself - to Crete.
We've not been to Crete - but heard incredible things!
@@DanegerAndStacey oh yeah me too can't wait to get there. they have so much to see: a lagoon, old little cities, ancient ruins and even a pink beach.
Good morning !!!!
It's a sunny morning even! 😍 Hope you have a great day.
great video just subscribed.
Thanks so much!
I feel you :-/ it was hard to leave as a student
That steak looked GOOOOOOOD !!! NOM.NOM.NOM.
We used to hoilday in a caravan in st andrews
We'll miss your Fife vlogs 😔.
Yeah na
😂
You maybe be leaving bonnie Scotland but i think you will be back after falling in love with my country
You're 100% right!
Go to Dundee, new V&A + Kiwi coffee at “the Bach”
That sounds amazing!
Hi guys! I love your videos and the quality is amazing. I noticed in the videos that Stacey is mostly using a Sony camera now and I was wondering which type it is. Also are you still using the same camera for the videos? Maybe you could update your page on the gear cause it's really interesting to see! :) Keep on posting! Lots of love
Thanks for reminding us - we do need to update our page! Stace uses the Sony a6400 for photos, but we still use the GH5 and lens combo on our site for video
@@DanegerAndStacey Cool! What lens is Stacey using for her camera? Still looking for a good lens for my Sony a6000 and your photos look stunning 😍
I have to ask, how do you add the subsciber count and animated bit onto your videos, on the bottom left? is it just a clip you have on your editing machine and add to each video manually? or some other fancy system youtube allows?
I came up with the idea about how we could make it one day (Dane), so Stace designed up about 8 or 9 frames in photoshop and exporting individual images of the progress. I turned it into a video file with the clicks etc. The text is live, but the same font as the other elements. So its all custom, meaning I can adjust as we grow and its unique to us.
You should have visited the eden mill distillery its run by the st Andrews university and is award winning next time you visit have a look
Next time, thanks for the tip
Nice meals
Pity you didn't have time for the castle. It has a couple of interesting and unusual features. One is the bottle dungeon. This is a pit cut straight down into the rock of the sea cliff on which the castle stands in the shape of a flattened wine bottle. There is a round floor then the walls slope inward to a small round opening like the neck of a bottle about 15 feet above. Once someone was down there escape would be quite impossible without the aid of a ladder or rope.
The other interesting feature is a rare example of a siege mine and counter mine. I believe there are only three or four surviving examples in the world. When the castle was under siege the attackers tried to dig a tunnel (siege mine) through the rock towards the castle. Their intention was to undermine the outer wall so that it would collapse and allow them to rush in through the gap and capture the castle. The principle defence against a siege mine was a counter mine. The defenders, hearing the sounds of digging, would themselves start digging their own counter mine with the intention of intercepting the attacker's mine before it reached the walls. This is what actually happened at St Andrews. The defenders, using the sounds of digging to guide them, and after one wrong turn, managed to break into the siege mine at the top of the leading face. This made it quite impossible for the attackers to continue digging and the siege mine had to be abandoned. Mines and counter mines were a very common siege technique but very few have survived. Mines were still being used to dig underneath and blow up enemy trenches even in the First World War.
Cracking information there! Wow - loved reading that and reminded us of a lot of the research we did in advance, definitely a bit sad we didn't check it out
The chariots of fire was filmed on the sands of st andrews
You went to Scotland without seeing Edinburgh? Really wanted to see that :( Next time :D
Oh - just replied to your other comment. Sadly we ran out of time, we'll be back soon!
Yeh missed Dunfermline which was once the capital of Scotland and the burial site or King Robert The Bruce
You also didn’t appear to try the tonic wine buck fast
Unfortunately not! We'll just have to come back
Yass 😁
😍😍
First! 🏆
Will ye no come back again?We hardly knew ye!
Of course we would! Planning a sneaky trip in a month or two
Does it make a difference to your stats if I let the ads play instead of skipping them?
Aww Angie, yes it does help us, thank you! Watching the vids to the end tells RUclips as well it's good and the suggest it to more people ❤️
@@DanegerAndStacey good, I'll keep doing it then ❤
❤️ Thank you!
i keep forgetting to ask you guys, would you ever say yes if you are invited to Amazing race?
I'd totally be down for it - asked Stace and she paused... she's unsure.
@@DanegerAndStacey the only thing which i cannot imagine you two doing is running all day long without a beer or any vegetarian food...
As for the "Donald song". You pronounce it as "Troozurz"! The Scottish word for "Trousers"!
Had a chuckle at the two of you squeezing in to the tower through the metal turnstile. With all of these stairs, could it be, "a certain stature" of visitor is discouraged from attempting this ascent? Thinking of that scene in the "In Bruges" movie ...... 😂
[link: ruclips.net/video/YCOMXRE9sBE/видео.html ]
Totally forgot about this scene - perfection!
You should have went to Scotland’s secret bunker
Is it Donald wears or Donald where's?
WHERE is your troosers - because he's wearing a kilt 😀
Will ye no come back again😥
Most definitely - we've got a taste, we'll be back!
😀
How come when you did UK , you didn’t do Wales 🏴. The best country of them all. If you liked Cornwall’s beaches , it’s nothing compared to the Gower Peninsular. And the scenery around Snowdonia is mind blowing. Just saying lol
Haha! Wales is on the list, don't worry about that - just hasn't worked out with any of our sporadic trips to get there yet.
Ha dane couldn't fit his muscles in the turn style what am i talking about i couldn't fit my tummy in there either the laws of physics be a terrible thing.
🤣 if Stace can barely fit, we're all screwed!
You and your partner are a pretty good team. Please take your backward baseball cap off, though. You're too old and too educated. It makes you look like Kevin. (Brit comic Harry Enfield referee).
Thanks Ray, appreciate! Hats staying as is though, sorry.
