- NEW SEASON: SCOTLAND
POV of Eilean Donan Castle, the 13th Century landmark and one of the most photographed fortresses in all of Scotland (also found on nearly every tin of shortbread cookies in the country 😉)
Featured in James Bond as the Scottish HQ of MI6.
The castle nestles itself in the Scottish highlands, at intersection of three tidal lochs. Now, you may have seen others here filming the location, all those pro drone operators, and vloggers but my friends, let us be honest with ourselves...
Did they stop at the Rowan Tree to admire the blood red berries?
Did they read to you the story of the Oyster Catchers harboring the cross?
Did they time the castle drone music to sync with your soul?
This is a real take without the travel vlogger hype.
I do hope you enjoy.
It was a shorter film day for us but by the good lord and William Wallace, do you know what's coming up next?
This Scotland adventure is getting good. REAL good.

I grew up before mobiles/cell-phones and only knowing 'dial' telephones; later 'push-button' style (with just landlines or telephone boxes on the street). It was SO FUNNY to hear someone say "I've never done this...", when dialling a number ! 🤣🤣🤣
I love how you love my country! ❤
It's a very special place
Another great one Shane! Really great footage. Sheep eating birds. Who knew lol. Awesome stuff!
Thanks Johnny! Yeah I was surprised when I read that but I’ve seen videos of goats being taken down valleys in Greece so I know it’s possible lol
My daughter's wedding was at a wee place called St.Mary's space not far from Oban. They had some of their wedding photos taken at Glencoe 🏴 Love my homeland 🏴
The castle was also used in the film Highlander as the home of the Clan McLoed
Wow, I'm taking notes of all these beautiful places you're filming and I'm adding them to my trip-list. I absolutely NEED to stay in that room with the plaid walls. Awesome! ❤
It cracked me up watching you guys trying to use the old rotary telephone. I remember those telephones from when I was a kid. Grandpa still has one, LOL.😂
Awesome.
Cormorant ( cor mo rant ) is black with a long beak and it does indeed stretch out the wings for drying off 🤗❤️🏴
Great video brother!
Thank you 🙏
If you go back via Glencoe I recommend stopping at the ski centre and taking the chair lift up the hill. If you go down via Loch \Lomond pop into Luss. Watch out for the EVIL car park where you need to be careful to not get a ticket.
Or cut over at Crainlarich and go down via Strathyre. If going back via inverness then there is Urquhart castle. But it is worth while also going along the coast to small places like Burghead (a normal wee town) and walk on the beach, or Spey Bay, Grantown on Spey. Pitlochry is nice, Fonab Castle is amazing for a very fancy high tea.
Then you can cut over from Balinluig to Killin and decide Lock Lomond (where I grew up) or Strathyre.
If going along via Aberdeen and down pop into Stonehaven and visit Dunnottar Castle.
If going into Glasgow, I can recommend a load of places. Kelvingrove Museum and Glasgow Uni is a must.
Look into The West Highland Way if you want to go hiking
I live just up the road from where Willim Wallace was Born, That castle is beautiful isn't it. X❤ Sky is wonderful I hope you enjoyed it.
William, Skye
@Skyemansthoughts ha ha I've just seen. didn't see was ment to be William Wallace, didn't mean he was born on Sky I live up the road from Elderslie.
That bird you see on the rocks are cormorants. Oyster catchers are smaller and much more active. The call of the oystercatchers is high pitched whistle sound like as described in the video.
Cormorants are usually quiet. There is another bird called a shag which is very similar to cormorant and it hard to tell them apart. If the guide said cormorants favour the rock then probably it was them but I’m never sure when i go birdwatching, even with books to help ID them i still struggle.
Hope you get to see Plockton,such an adoreable place.
Highland coos walking about.
We had fantastic smoked fish soup in the hotel.
Love Skye it's so beautiful.

SKYE FOLKS NOT SKY.

Many blessings to your daughter. She choose the right place.
Nice fam
Love, love, release the doves
I know exactly what your talking about when it comes to speeding. I absolutely hate it. We drove up to Fort William and the people who pushed ne to speed all the way up was shocking but i just stuck to 50ish, be more considerate people!
Better late in this life than early in the next😊 🏴
Yes but when you live and work here,,,and are stuck behind tourists who trickle along at 30 sight seeing,,,some of us are not on holiday.
@@james6901 Yep. What James said. It's not that speed carelessly; we know the roads, and we are usually doing a school run, working or just having somewhere to be. Just let us pass if you have a chance, and we will give you a little wave of thanks.
Hope you got to see the falls of clyde in lanark during your trip. Its a UNESCO World Heritage site!
Just googled it...looks amazing!!
The beginning of Prometheus was filmed on Sky fun fact"
Skye
Prometheus was filmed on Skye so not far from where you were
In one of the upcoming videos we go right to the spot where the starting of it was filmed.
2:32 Sheep come in flocks, not herds. Herds look after the sheep.
Wrong...Shepherds look after sheep. Herders look after various livestock. Cows, sheep, goats etc
I know you like your trees , you might want to take in the Fortingall yew tree in Perthshire . It is reportedly thousands of years old and was rumoured to have been visited by no other than Pontius Pilate .
The man who washed his hands of the trial of Jesus Christ ? .
There is also an interesting path with slabs giving details of historical events the tree has lived through
Keep up the good work 👏👏👏🤗❤️🏴
It is bad luck to cut down a Rowan Tree.
Herd = Flock. Np
you should visit t he lake district in England. its beautiful
Nothing compared to Scotland
@@stuartkerr5872 Well said stuart.
Skye
10.15 it will be locals driving with apparent speed , they think they know the road so well , but anything can change unknown to them ie fallen tree rock fall , sheep , pedestrians and so on 🫣🫣
RIP OFF SCOTLAND
