Hey everyone, Merry Christmas, sorry I'm not able to respond to your comments as normal here, but trust me I still read every single one! Hope you're all having a nice day, thanks for watching :)

Incredible! My favorite video of yours...EVER! Hands down! This was so heart warming & amazing from beginning to end! It was also so wonderful to see you & Alicja together again in this enchanting Christmas adventure...from last year no less! You & Alicja are truly a 'dynamic duo" & are so sweet together! The sweet dynamic & rapport you have together is just so endearing & very special! Please don't ever change! Strathardle Lodge is such a magical place with such a beautiful ambience! It matches you both perfectly! No wonder Alicja didn't want to leave & you want to return so much! I would love to see that too! Please do! Then, after the wonderful time spent there, only you Steve, could be passing by at the exact moment when such a cute horse & Shetland Pony were playing, frolicking & rolling in the snow! Amazing! That was also the sweetest thing! After this, once again, we see your funny sense of humor! When you remarked that you were lost & so now would just have to stay there & build a log cabin. LOL. As well as, the 'Christmas Past" clip in black & white of you with the Antler headband on & Alicja wearing the Santa hat wishing us a Merry Christmas. Hilarious & very sweet! As well as... brilliant! Indeed! Thank you for sharing this delightful Christmas experience! The sweetest & best Christmas video on YT! Christmas blessings to both you & Alicja! God bless us every one!

Nice to see down to earth people enjoying the small pleasures in life. This is the way to a long, happy life. Love you guys.

Wonderful stuff Steve. Stunning presentation of Scotland. Your part of the reason I no longer tolerate mainstream television. Best wishes sir in to 2023 for you both. Love your channel

What a lovely video Steve and Alicia. Wishing the two of you a Wonderful Christmas 👍🎅🎄❤️

Good day Steve, what a wonderful set of videos. This is my first message to you and I hope not the last. I currently live in South Africa and am in the process of applying for my spousal visa to live in Scotland. I am 62 and have never been to the UK, so your videos have been a great inspiration and help in choosing where to live. my wife and I have chosen Cadham in Glenrothes as our new home. We have binge- watched just about all your videos and have enjoyed every one, Thank you, and I hope to see more. See you all in Scotland in February of 2023 , who know we might even bump into you on one of your wonderful adventures.

When we worked in Scotland as Caravan club wardens we had a recommendation from 1 of our members to visit the hotel/motel at the spital of Glenshee for one of their hot beef sandwiches, on our day off we went there and what a feast that was for a very reasonable cost. I think this hotel was destroyed in a fire but it wasn't just the building that was lost, the information and local knowledge that the people passed on to us in a short time was amazing and we in turn told many of our future guests about it and we never had anyone say that they didn't enjoy their experience.

I realized today how valuable your videos are for capturing the beauty of Scotland and another reason to be proud of her and her people. Merry Christmas, guys. 🎅 Be well and stay safe. 🙏

I am in a southern hemisphere summer right now, in Sydney, and am thoroughly enjoying seeing the beauty of a Scottish winter landscape. Thanks.

I drive this road on a regular basis to visit my elderly mother and my best friend since primary 1 on his farm in this stunning part of the world. Arguably one of the best driving roads in Scotland. Thanks for the memories on this dark wet Monday morning in the Central belt of Scotland.

In my childhood in the 1950s, we used to drive from home (in the English West Country) to the village of Glenkindie on Donside (not far from Strathdon) to visit my grandmother. Our route took us up Glenshee and up the Devil's Elbow. This was very dramatic, especially in a second-hand pre-war car! Haven't been that way for decades, so it was wonderful to see the road (even without the Devil's Elbow) in your beautiful video. The scenery was stunning and the light was fantastic. Another stunner, Steve and Alicja! Oh, and what a find Strathardle Lodge was. Wishing you a very happy Christmas and looking forward to more wonderful videos in the New Year!

The wee village, Blairgowrie & Rattray, is in fact the biggest town in Perth & Kinross. Stop over some time. or even better, try Alyth. Lots to see and do.

Thanks for another good reminder of my childhood stamping ground, in the days when the A93 included the Devil’s Elbow. When the school took us on a hill walk on the Cairnwell, we all had to get off the bus so it could negotiate the hairpin bend! Surprised you hadn’t heard of Blairgowrie, though. Nice wee toon.

Lovely mountain scenery, showing more of the beautiful Highlands. Grand Lodge too, making it look special, with warmth, lights and friendliness. Happy Christmas to you both!

What a cracking wee find that lodge is! Looked like a wonderful overnight adventure. Merry Christmas!

Fantastic video. My last time in Scotland late March 1997. Take my then Thai GF (now wife) to see my country. Stop Glen Shee center. That year patchy snow. No skiers but plenty paragliders. Had to find a snow drift to throw snowballs. First and last time for my wife. My last photo of my old Porche 924. before sell and fly back Thailand for ever.

A very large merry Christmas to you both. I do so love your channel. Please keep them coming. Much love from New Jersey in the states.

Oooh! Looking at this in February 2024! Bringing back a few travel memories from 2008! Kids can ski but I can't! But I can still throw a snowball! A little bit! Lovely video! Cheers me dears! 🙋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪

I really enjoy watching you two when you go on your road trips. There is always such a sense of fun, enjoyment and appreciation of the incredible scenery. When I lived in Scotland I really appreciated that was so easy and quick to get up into the hills. Nowadays I live in East Anglia. We’ve got some pretty cool places nearby but nothing to compare with the scenery of Scotland.

A few years ago (4?) there was a faily heavy snowfall in Edinburgh. So I got the gear on and walked up Calton Hill - around midnight. Transformed, it was - 15cms of snow, still falling but not a lot of wind. Made a brew, had a glass of Merlot (hiking tip - a good wine weighs just the same as a bad wine) and bivvied out. And at 8 in the morning, the building crew was up fixing the Observatory. That is what snow can do even to an urban environment.

What a great drive. I haven't been to Scotland for over 20 years now but I still remember such trips aound Loch Fyne or up near Ulapool. I shall have to come back.

Thank you (from England) for this picturesque video. I've always loved everything about Scotland, especially the dramatic scenery.

Yet again you have brought memories flooding back. Our eldest son hadhisfirst snow skiing at Glenshee, after lessons from the guy who taught the King! Such beautiful scenery up there. Merry Christmas to you both, have a great time, and thanks for the sheer joy of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well done Steve, you found the bar. Everything else is a bonus.

Thank you for all the content this year. Wishing you both all the best for Christmas.

Australian here. It is is pretty and it reminds me of my winters as a child, and the excitement of seeing snow, even if it was just a dusting. I come from a mountainous region called the New England. It is quite apt as a name as it does look a lot like parts of England, but at a similar altitude to the Scottish Highlands (but sadly without the lochs). But I have to say I prefer our summery Christmases. I think you tend to love what you grow up with. I am in Sydney now, and it can get hot at Christmas, but for me I think the climate in the New England of NSW is probably almost perfect. It tends to warm to but not too hot, and cools down at night. When we have had a good season of rain, it can also be very green. I would like to experience a white Christmas once, but for the rest of the time I love Christmas in summer.

Merry Christmas to you both. Thanks for another great video and a great year of content. I'm offshore for Christmas but seeing you guys having a great time up in the hills has cheered me right up!

Wonderful video and my kind of trip, someone else doing the driving. Thanks for taking us along. Merry Christmas from Tennessee

Merry Christmas Steve and Alicja! Glad to see your channel going from strength to strength. Work misses you, but I hope you don't miss work! 😄

Skiing in Scotland looks like skiing in the mid-Atlantic, if they’re not making snow, you are not skiing! At least you have a snowy view in the mountains.❤

Oh that Lodge was wonderful! And the Breakfasts! Nomnomnom! 😀🙋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪

Watching all the older videos on here. You two make such a good couple and the lodge was a great find

I enjoy that you appreciate where you live. Mountains and mountains with snow are able to cast such captivating spell.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the past 12 months of sharing your travels with us.

What a beautiful drive! The views are magnificent. That B&B is delightful. Your breakfast looked delicious. Great mini trip.

We were up that road at end of August it’s a great route even better in winter, although there are not enough stopping places for photos. That was some brekkie, looked fab. Have a great Christmas and New year both

Thanks for the view from you van and the snow looks nice and snowy and it is very beautiful view with the snow on the mountains and round and the roads are clear and nice to see you both out and about again have a good Christmas 🤶

This is wonderful. The wife and I just drove from Portree down to Pitlochry. What a drive! Incredible views. My first experience with what Scots call "lorrie's". They haul butt like there is no tomorrow!

These road trips are so special and the icing and sugar on the hills make it that much more magical. Thanks Steve for another wonderful video. Looking forward to 4K videos in future.

I’m a wee bit late in watching this. It was great to see you eating that clootie dumpling. My good friend (and pen pal for over 45 years), Maureen, who lives in Wormit, made it for my husband and me during one of our visits. I loved it! And I love seeing Scotland again, as I sit here in Illinois, USA, through your adventuresThanks.

Brilliant guys thanks. What an amazing country you live in you lucky bu--ers. Have a great Christmas and New year. Stay safe 🙏

Merry Christmas you two! What a lovely adventure, so beautiful!

You both have fun together. Just makes me happy watching you both!
