Lol true

Aye, and I'm weirdly looking forward to it cause this crappy muggy weather ain't it

Ain't? 😬

Scotland is really far north

Wooooow

Go to work in the dark, come home in the dark... Love it.... :|

Indeed, by about 30 miles.

I’ve just learned something, thank you 🙏

@@terryoconnor5262 Me as well.

Yup, I think theres culturally this idea of the US as being 'across the pond' you instinctively assume its laterally across the pond. Also when you see NY City dealing with mega snows, its so counter intuitive to picture it much further south than London, which is much milder.

@@wobaguk let’s not overthink this mate… I’m just no good with geography and didn’t expect that we were more northern than the USA… no need to dissect the physiological roots of it 🤣

Longer videos are coming...

Erm I’m sure Alaska is 😂

Most people fail to realise just how far south the USA actually is, compared to Europe. NY is on the same latitude as Naples in southern Italy, and DC is level with Sicily. The north coast of Scotland, on the other hand is at 58 degrees...the same latitude as Churchill MB...where the polar bears regularly wander into town.

@@alfresco8442 and the Shetland Islands are above 60 degrees and if you drew a line on a map directly west from the northernmost part of them, the first land you would hit would be the southern tip of Greenland! I believe all of the us, except for Alaska, is further south than the southern tip of England including Maine!

Thanks. Long videos are coming...

You mean the further North you go the days are longer? What about the Norway? That must be light too right??

Doesn’t get dark at all here really, just doesn’t get warm either 😆

@@shorelifeliving4858 Hang on I remember the summer of 1976 it was warm in Scotland then I was there and know.

Shame we get the reverse in winter lol But it’s nice while it lasts. I also think it’s a bit of a Scottish obsession “ah the nights are fair drawin in/oot”

@@angelwithadirtyface3 something quite nice about it too, especially in stormy weather (so long as you’re inside and the heating’s working 😆)

@@pauldavis6390 daughter said to me at the weekend (was nice!) ‘it’s not often you get a sunny day in summer is it! Usually only happens in winter’. When she was 4 she came running inside shouting ‘mum, mum! The summer ball - it’s here!’ I thought she was talking about a dance until she took me outside and pointed at the sun 🤣🤦‍♀️😆

It's 12.42am and it's still not completely dark in Glasgow, and I'm on the outskirts of the city so artificial light isn't contributing... In summer I wish for winter and winter I wish for summer, I'm never happy lol

You've got a Scottish name

It’s safe btw and always has been just don’t turn MSM on.

Scottish humour dictates you sacrifice a child and spread jam on their coat to keep the midges away.

Don't remind me. I'm already noticing that it is getting darker that little bit earlier.

@@jackdubz4247 yip, solstis is long gone

Fife... yes.

@@MacandBlair cheers for reply, loving the channel

@@MacandBlair St.Andrews, Crail, Pittenweem and Anstruther in Fife are nice to visit.

That video is coming...

@@MacandBlair Thankyou looking forward ☺️

Down time is important... along with family time.

@@MacandBlair Terrible thing about the US is how little time some people get off work. Great thing about the UK is how much time people get off work. I'm very glad you're able to make the most of it. :-)

Visiting Loch Ness is planned for a future trip..

@@MacandBlair just thinking of places for you to visit in east anglia. they are closed due to covid, but should open up again soon. 1, gypsy hollow halesworth suffolk. it is a bed and breakfast , but in a 200 year old gypsy caravan. at night they build you a bonfire outside the caravan, a give you marsh mallow to toast and set up candles around the caravan. in the morning they bring your breakfast to the caravan. they have a normal bed and breakfast on the same site, so make sure you book the caravan. 2, cley -next-see, on the north norfolk coat. you can have bed and breakfast in cley windmill. inside the actual windmill, the rooms are round and so is the furniture. they also have converted barns so make sure you book a room in the mill. you can climb to the top for a fab view. they will also do evening meals. but cley village is beautiful it had a gourmet pub and an ordinary pub. it also has a legenday smoke house. they catch the fish, smoke it and sell it at the same place. they also sell samphire (pronounced samfa) which is a local edible sea weed and is amazing. both these places are dog friendly. 3, host in at burham market. quite upper class.....ie wipe boots on way in!!!!! they are an old coaching inn, which is now a small hotel. they have some normal rooms , but they also have 2 old fashioned railway carriages, which are fab. it is also dog friendly and dogs can sleep in the rooms for £10 extra per night. dog also have their own menu for breakfast, or they can have the full english, and they can eat with you in the dining room. near by is holkham beach, which is the best in norfolk. miles of golden sand edged by pine trees. there is a seal sanctuary that you can take a boat trip to go and see. there is also burham thorpe , where admiral lord nelson was born. the village hasnt changed since then....flint cottages a norman church, which also serves as a museum to nelson. the pub, the lord nelson, is the same one nelson drank in. it make its own liquor. the famous one is nelsons blood. the legend is that when nelson died, his crew men preserved his body and in rum and spices, so they could bring him back to burnham thorpe where he wanted to be buried. as he was a war hero, king george 3rd, insisting in burying him in west minister abbey. all they crew had left was the coffin containing rum and spices which also had nelsons blood mixed in. they drank it hoping it would give them the strength and courage of nelson. they still make nelsons blood liquor to the same recipe, which belongs to the pub and is the only place allowed to make it.........legend has it that each bottle contains 1 drop of nelsons blood!!!!!

Eh?

@@colinbellew3020 Eh?

There are none at the moment, you've got to have tourists to have touristy bits, lol. I live in Glasgow and was making regular overnight trips to Edinburgh when I could during lockdown, hotels were so cheap and the streets were deserted, it was a great, I just made the most of it as it will NEVER happen again.

@@sheenamaclean8324 Nice

@@sheenamaclean8324 pretty sure it will lockdown in Autumn

Most Asians do

@@alemgas yea right,

Sorry for your loss...

Thank u it was very sudden n I seen ur video I got a bit of a shock its a wonderful place to gather ur thoughts that's why Michael was there but he was drunk n fell in ....I bought the angel Michael statue n it now has a place in my home thanks for showing how beautiful Edinburgh is to folks x ❤

I did... beautiful country and cows.

Please piss off and let people film how they want.

Its not a competition!

Further south you go, the more regular night/day is, IE split 12/12 hours. UK summer time is like 18/6 (Scotland like more like 19/5) while winter is like 6/18

Why?
