When I'd passed my driving test, literally only a few weeks later, as a family we went on holiday to Scotland. We were there mostly to walk, which is what we did. Mum, Dad, my brother and I. And our small black dog Tim. The latter was always a bit full of energy, and loved dashing about the outdoors like life itself. He was totally in his element out there! Until he slipped a disk in his back, about 7 miles from where we'd parked, and about [a lot more than that] from civilization. Somehow, I ended up going back for the car, while parents and brother tried to look after little Timmy. So one of the first times I'd ever driven the family car was in an emergency situation, up a steep valley, on a dodgy, shale, narrow, mountain track, with a sheer deep drop to a river on one side. Many hundreds of feet below, no border, and just about room for the car. If it wasn't an emergency, I doubt it would even have been legal for me to drive it, despite Scotland's permissive access laws. I bloody loved it! The hardest part was staying focussed on the road, and not just admiring the scenery. 😂 So you see why videos like this make me a little bit emotional by recollection. Also, love you guys; you are such a wonderful pair to watch. Thanks for bringing this memory back to me. And slightly late congratulations too!❤
Wow, what a wild story! Driving in those conditions sounds terrifying (and exhilarating!) -I can’t believe that was one of your first times behind the wheel! Poor little Timmy, but it’s amazing you stepped up to the challenge and made it through safely. Scotland’s landscapes have a way of creating unforgettable memories, don’t they? So glad our video could bring you back to that moment. Thanks for sharing your story and for the kind words. We really appreciate it!
Thank you so much! Glencoe is where we truly fell in love with Scotland. Its vast, rugged and untouched beauty is still breathtaking, no matter how many times we visit.
great viewing, came here after the wedding and canal boat ones. I live in Scotland myself, moved from England. No going back for me, maybe if I got a canal boat that could change .........
Thank you! As you probably saw in our wedding video, the UK has our hearts, especially Scotland, so we understand your move. We did see that Scotland has it's own 137 mile canal system so maybe you could get the best of both worlds!
five years? hell that tells me andrew is after secretly buying that mountaineering cottage as a home ,loved how he kept wandering around it as your walking back to car speaking to camera lol.
Lol. You’re absolutely onto something here… 100% his dream home. I also laughed at that moment… Next trip to Scotland we’ll have to dedicate a whole day trip to wandering the grounds of the mountaineering cottage 😂
When you drove down Glen Etive you would have passed Dalness Estate halfway down. This belonged to Ian Flemings family and was the inspiration for Skyfall lodge and the Sore Feet statue in Fort William marks the end of the West Highland Way.
How can we tell you're Americans? Well, you still haven't learnt how to use cutlery properly....but we'll forgive you that since it's always a pleasure to watch you exploring.
You can stay at the Lagangarbh Hut for the princely sum of £24 per person per night inclusive of VAT. Maybe a bit less luxurious than you are both used to, but the craic will be good and the views are not too shabby.
Hi @jayandsarah ! We’re still here 👋 We’ve simply been enjoying our first year of marriage. We have some exciting adventures scheduled for Aug 2024. However, we are missing everyone on here so we might have 1 or 2 spontaneous travel videos coming your way soon 😉
What a great couple you are, full of joy and fun. So happy you enjoyed our wee Bonnie Scotland. Lang may yer lum reek, haste ye back X
Thank you for your kind words! Scotland has captured our hearts.

Congratulations to a lovely bride and groom. You visited one of my favourite places in my homeland - Glencoe

Congratulations to you both🤩
Thank you so much!
*_Congratulations!_*
Thank you!
I've been down that long road right to the end of the road which I thought was very enjoyable , but a bit long road but very nice.
It can be quite the drive, especially if it's busy. However, as you mentioned definitely enjoyable and worth it in our opinion.
When you drove down Glen Etive you would have passed Dalness Estate halfway down. This belonged to Ian Flemings family and was the inspiration for Skyfall lodge and the Sore Feet statue in Fort William marks the end of the West Highland Way.
Andrew is bummed we missed out on that. …guess that means we have to go back now! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I love this part of my country.
Ps Glenn Etive is pronounced Eh tiv,
Ah, thank you for the correction! It is a beautiful beautiful area, we can’t wait to be back!
How can we tell you're Americans? Well, you still haven't learnt how to use cutlery properly....but we'll forgive you that since it's always a pleasure to watch you exploring.
Haha that’s something we haven’t heard before! We’ll have to take notice next time we’re in the UK. Thanks for enjoying the adventures!
You can stay at the Lagangarbh Hut for the princely sum of £24 per person per night inclusive of VAT. Maybe a bit less luxurious than you are both used to, but the craic will be good and the views are not too shabby.
Good to know! That would be a great place to stay especially when hiking in Glencoe. Thanks for sharing!
Babies must be born here loch et-iv
