The same goes for Island, Norway, Finland and Sweden. You have access to all nature and free to camp (with limits) as long as you respect residents and their privacy, you are free to pick berries and mushrooms.
Thank you for this one. Didn’t realise how long it was, so extra props to you☺️
There’s not many people who do go out destroying stuff, usually the younger ones who go out camping and drinking, but there’s a lot more people who clean up as soon as they see it.
That river where you are is beautiful, you would love it here in Scotland (in “summer” though😂)
And the folklore is Scotland is endless.. our national Animal is the Unicorn which says it all. Stories from giants all the way to Fairies, even have a place called the Fairy Pools that are absolutely gorgeous. You should definitely look more into it.
Much love to you and your family from Scotland💙🏴
Sounds like my kind of place for sure! Fairy Pools sounds so interesting 😊.
@@NAIATHEDRAGON On the Isle of Skye. To my mind, having travelled extensively, that island is the most beautiful place I have ever seen and the Fairy Pools is one of the highlights. Folklore oozes from every stone.
As for safety by night ? Very few people around (even more so at night... difficult to travel safely off road after dark), and no dangerous wildlife in terms of bears, wolves or big cats. What MIGHT kill you is the environment itself, but that's true of most wilderness areas.
She didn't really go into what a "bothy" is.
A bothy is a small house or bungalow that are in remote areas all across the country , very often stocked with food, drinks, firewood and candles and are free to stay in when ever you want, there's usually other hikers/bikers/likeminded people passing through and everybody tries to leave something nice for the next person 👌 a lovely community💓
As a Scot, I find our use of Bothy interesting as I have family who moved to the North East of England decades ago and they also have Bothies in the area and Northumberland area too. They actually featured a murder of a person using a Bothy in an episode of Vera fairly recently.
'That's all anyone wants to hear, is I'm free.'
That's as close to freedom as Americans get, is hearing about it.
A brothie is just a little shelter that you can find all over the highlands in case you get lost or caught in the ha or fog you can get out the elements there free n basic but have fire places ect..
My sister works for Scottish Water. They based her in one during lockdown. She loved it.
That snowboarding game I believe was called 1080. Was a fun game too. My Scottish wife loved it. Thanks for the upload, and your intrerest in our unique right to roam. Love from Scotland
Thanks for reacting to this! 🙂
🤜🤛💯💯
Bothies are always unlocked; for anyone, it is tradition to leave something (maybe teabags for example) for the person behind you to use if they need it.
The tree getting cut down on hadrians wall, the tree from Robin Hood Prince of thieves.....that made the country angry 😡😡😡😡😡
That part of Hadrian's Wall is actually in England not Scotland.
Lovely reaction. As a Scot it's always heartening and quite humbling to see folks from around the world reacting to our beautiful wee place. you really have to come stay a while. I think you'd tune into it no problem at all. Cheers.
First of all, your subtitles couldn't cope! They weren't too good for Scots English, but the first song at least was in the hundreds-of-years-old language of the Highlands and Islands, Scottish Gaelic (here pronounced Gallic).
My English parents had a long retirement on a Scottish island, and for a while I owned their house. The long-standing lack of punishment for trespass was codified in 2003, and therefore there is so much glorious landscape to walk all over.
But one of two words of warning for non-Scots. You must respect the mountains. Even in summer, the weather can suddenly turn, and you must dress right. (In layers; it is not only snow that is a killer, but icy wind and rain can also lead to death from exposure.) And in winter there is a proper system of avalanche warnings. Mountain Rescue - they're volunteers - get fed up with tourists not taking elementary precautions.
In late summer in particular, biting flies called 'midges' can drive you crazy, so take the bug spray; and it is wise after walking to check yourself for sheep ticks, which if left in can occasionally lead to Lyme Disease. There are little hooks you can get to remove them easily.
And above all, respect the Scots! Don't patronise them; they're a very tough people, but usually well educated, with a great respect for learning.
Scotland has many ancient monuments, including many Megalithic structures from the Neolithic period going back to 3500 BC.
To defend England and Wales a bit, we do have areas with a Right to Roam, and our two countries are criss-crossed with Rights of Way you have a legal right to use.
Definetley alot of important information. Thank you!
Trees are sentinel of time, ,standing, watching, as we scurry around in our busy lives just like they did for our grandparents and there's
True!
I am full on with you mate about trees. I've always lived in towns etc. Trees just soften the image & hold so much history. There is a tree in our local park which me and my brother used to climb. That was 70 yrs ago. My brother has passed away, but that tree is still going.
The houses they stay in off grid are called Bothies. It's like a mountain cabin in the US, but very old and made of stone, usually with a fireplace and somewhere to sleep and escape the bad weather for a while. It's free, you just walk in. Some have basic facilities like tea & coffee sachets and maybe some packs of noodles people have left behind for the next person, books, board games or whatever, there's a few hundred of them all over the highlands and islands. The only rules are put the fire out when you leave and bag up your trash and take it with you.
Bothy.🤷♂️
@@Davidjohnson-o6g A Bothy and Bothies is plural I would expect.
One thing they don't mention, we don't have any large predators so nothing is going to try eat you. Stay clear of the deer when they are rutting or any farmers bulls even though highland cows are really friendly, but other than that it's safe.
Respect the land for the land sustains you.
scotland is tiny man you can drive the full length of the country in 7-9 hours depending on traffic the narrowest distance coast to coast is 50 odd km and the furthest you are ever from the sea is 65 km .also outside the central lowlands, it's to all intents and purposes empty . if you get the chance you should visit as with all that said it's quite a diverse country geographicly
Good reaction, you didn't miss a trick.
Sycamore Gap tree, they say there's a chance it might be saved. I hope they're right.
Ironically, roaming would probably get you shot in "the land of the free".
Good one, so true. Thumbs up!
Yup
Stunning ❤
With you talking about the tree, as a Scot, there are quite a few traditions within Scotland that celebrate nature and seasons. You might be interested in 'Up helly aa', Beltaine and something called all souls day that is slightly off nature but might be interesting to you.
Im familiar with some of those 😊
1st and foremost the land belongs to the Scottish people..even the highland royal estates we have the right of access..lots of people have met King Charles while walking on his land but it's allowed..there are provisions though.. gates must be open/closed..no damage can be done to the land or live stock and you respect other users and the land owner...do that U can walk for weeks hassle free..and the little stone huts they are living in are free to use they are called Bothies and are maintained by Scottish heritage and the wildlife park department..simple rules there too..leave it as U find it...if U use fire wood replace it so whoever comes in next has dry wood 4 fires, take away all rubbish, and toilet U need is dug and buried at least 20meters from the dwelling...simple really
Have a look at Skara brae, its 5,000 years old and its in Scotland
SSX was the snowboarding version of Tony Hawks from EA.
the captions on that were hilarious
Lol
Cats were granted the right to roam in 1971
English captions❤
theres nothing to be scared of at night .theres no dangerous animals or anything like that .there is no wilderness in scotland pretty much every inch of land has been altered in some way by the hand of man . naturally scotland was forested . the reason it is now cleared is because of thousands of years of human occupation.the right to roam does not mean you can light fires or damage anything you feel you need . leave only footsteps take only memories.
I didn't catch his name, but I'm pretty sure that singer/piper/cattle man was the guy who raps in Gaelic for the Afrocelt Sound System ?
Amazing high energy dance fusion of African and Celtic music... Check them out... Best band I've seen in the last 10 years. (RIP Simon Emmerson )
Thanks! That sounds interesting.
@@NAIATHEDRAGON I Checked... It IS Griogair (Gregor , spelled the Gaelic way).
I believe he's a crofter ( what Americans would call a homesteader), living in the Western Highlands.
Check out a song called "Cascade" in which he plays pipes, then does a little of a traditional form of acapella which translates into English as "Mouth Music", as the vocal not only delivers the lyric, but also does the job of all the instruments, and then he goes into Gaelic rap. They are all masters of their crafts, which are mostly traditional instruments and styles.
Originally the driving force was Simon Emmerson...If you watch a live video, he's the bald guitarist. He died last year. He was a lovely guy, very highly principled, and I believe was also living off grid.
If you like what you hear, check out their wiki entry and look at the list of previous collaborators. You've probably done reactions to many of them.
They do things the right way !
Should check out Scottish history 🎉🎉🎉
Some things you can't do without a permit, fishing for example, what the lady said at the start about "Land ownership" is true, its only something like 500 people that "own" ALL the private land here, though I have right of way to go anywhere I please, as long as I am not harming anything or making a mess, being disrespectful there is no "Tresspass" law in Scotland in a legal manner, it's considered a "Civil offence" not a legal one, different courts deal with it, In order to prossecute someone for tresspass, you need to personally take them to a civil court, which would require you to have their name and address etc and none of their grounds keepers has any right to ask anyone for those, Police don't deal with "civil cases" they can only be called out to "keep the peace" in such an instance, though most folk are polite enough not to camp in anyones gardens, so if everyone is being respectful then everyone goes about their business in peace.
The bit about the burnt tree, had a lot of aholes during lockdown, you see lots of people who would normally go abroad couldn't and all the newspapers were advertising "top 10 places to visit in the UK" and a lot of aholes went there, it's a bad side of advertising places on the internet, you can't control who decides to turn up.
Should check out Scottish free water,health services 🎉🎉🎉
The irony is they are brainwashed to think that those socialist type services are outright affront to capitalism, yet they may soon back a man who supports dictatorships and the Wests very own enemy, likely he will also sell their nations sovereignty for profit!.
In Wales we have open access land which is virtually all of the mountainous areas, on open access land you can free roam but the only difference is it's illegal to wild camp....but! there is a caveat to that, whilst wild camping is technically illegal it's also tolerated as long as leave no trace guidelines are strictly adhered to, so basically it gives the national parks and landowners the right to move on nuisance campers who camp too near people's homes, make a noise, leave litter etc. there was a huge rise in nuisance or 'Fly-Camping' during Covid and a private security firm was hired to patrol the park and make them pack up and go home. Bothies are also nationwide across the UK, not just in Scotland, I live in Snowdonia which is a mountainous national park in North Wales and we have several bothies where anyone can stay whenever they wish, I think the open access land laws in Wales are very similar to those in England too, and in areas like the Lake District national park they have specific rules like you can only wild camp above the last stone wall, or something along those lines. I wild camp a lot and never have any issues because I only camp above 2000 feet so you never get in anyone's way or annoy anyone that way, also in Wales and England you're never meant to camp within about 50 feet of a footpath.
Does Wales have many dangerous wildlife?
@@NAIATHEDRAGON No, we have Adders but they only kill about 1 person a decade across the whole UK, I think the biggest threat is being trampled by cows which happens occasionally, but we have no apex predators like big cats, bears etc.
But remeber everyone america is free
No bears few wolves
There's no wild wolves :)
English subs don't help much when it comes to Scottish Gàidhlig 😅
Alba shaor 🏴
