    Already watched day 2 stunning vistas! Can I just say I love Scotland! 💗And you're right for one person I have a 4-cylinder suv the 2 back seats lay down flat makes to a full size very very comfortable bed. That would be the only way to do it. you're not having to rush to get to your hotel. Very smart Shawn. Can't wait to see the rest of the videos! If I'm not mistaken around Inverness is where they film most of the Outlander series? Not positive. Thanks so much for taking us along this awesome Journey. And as always safe and happy travels💗 ps 💘 castle 😲 so envious of you guyses castles. Oh and let's not forget the gardens that go along with the castles. The only impressive one I've seen in the 🇺🇸 the closest to a castle with never-ending Gardens that I can think of is in Miami,Fl. Viscaya which has unbelievably survived multiple hurricanes but I suppose it makes your castles in Europe look like a little summer home.lol

    Great start to your NC500 adventure. Definitely a good idea to travel counterclockwise, as from a natural scenery point of view, you'll totally be saving the best until last. Looking forward to seeing what you make of the NW coast from Durness down to Applecross, which in my opinion is some of the most amazing scenery in the world (although I do admit to being slightly biased). But yeah, areas such as Assynt and Torridon are just completely out of this world. Looking forward to seeing if you visited Smoo Cave in Durness, and the Geopark at Elphin, as well as the ridiculously picturesque Ardvreck Castle and Kylesku Bridge. So much to look forward to on your journey :-)

I actually clicked on one of your coaster vids first, enjoyed that so watched a few more, subscribed and then noticed that you have this 2nd channel which is even more up my street! Your presentation skills are superb and your video is always crystal clear. Really looking forward to checking out all of your other videos. I used to live just a stone's throw from the Kelpies near Falkirk so it was great to see that video. I am based on the south side of Edinburgh these days so looking forward to checking out your Edinburgh vids. Great stuff - keep 'em coming! :-)

      I'm not sure if I'm correct with this or not, but I think it may be an English thing. Apparently, when heading towards London, the English will say they're going 'up to London' (with the fact it's the capital), and when heading away from London, they're going 'down'. So maybe it's the fact he's heading away from London, considers himself to be going 'down'. But yeh, I'd class northwards as going 'up', but each to their own :-)

I was going to go to the Merry-Go-Round Museum, but they had a sign saying they had to close last minute (on the website, it says open Tuse-Sunday except 6/26 rn). It is an inconvenience, but they did put a sign on the door.

      Hi AdventureShawn, I am on holidays at the minute and plan to do the Northern 500 as a week long (9 days) plus Isle of Skye. I am also thinking of living out of the car. Practically how did you go about personal absolutions like bathing and bodily functions. My apologies for the intimate question but without booking campsites with facilities or hotels which are expensive and scarce this needs some planning and wet wipes and deodorant for long periods don't always provide the answer.

    Hi Shawn I don't know what frame rate you use on your video camera, but when you upload things to RUclips at 60fps there is a lot of stuttering, especially on panning shots. You need to match your recording FPS with your upload FPS, because after watching this vlog it gave me eye strain and a headache, and being someone who has lots of experience with video editing I'm sure you would like to correct this problem for future uploads, thus making it a lot more enjoyable for your subscribers and followers. I look forward to seeing this improvement in quality in the near future.. Thank you.
