I bought the ultimate Scottish road trip guide and if you’ve not been before it’s well worth it! Takes you through all my favourite places and if your not familiar with the areas or short on time is a must have guide. Video is spot on as always 👌 just got back from Mallaig, that drive though glencoe never gets old.

Seriously do not know how Chris and Dani don't get more views on their channel. The photography is fab, the video editing and content is simply first class. That combined with no nonsense views of Chris and then Dani at times making him eat his words is just so infectious ❤

😂😂😂 can you imagine how often im wrong at home! Haha. Thanks mate, channel has been slowly dying all year. Went from 150-300k monthly views down to 20-30k monthly views in past 6 month! Bit mental but presumably people just don’t want to watch it haha

Can't wait to get back!! Moving home after 32 years in Germany, in 6 weeks there will be no more "we'll do it at the weekend " we can go when we want!! Just wanted to say that when we've been driving around Scotland I've always got my flyfishing gear in the camper so we go to places (normal) tourists don't generally go, you might want to check out the area around Scourie, there are some amazing sights among the hill lochs and lochans along the single track roads. Thanks for giving me something to watch at 6am Chris!!! All the best!!!!

Totally agree with everything you recommended. We did that trip 3 years ago. Outstanding. Looking forward to doing it again soon. As a north east girl I love your vlogs. Familiarity is so important. Like minded people if you know what I mean. 👍👏👏 keep up the good work. X

Great video mate. I think Glencoe and Skye might be a future trip for me then as I’ve not been by the former and only crossed the bridge for the latter. From a personal point of view I’d recommend Shetland after being up there last month which is the best time to do it because of Simmer Dim. I’m pleased you included Glasgow on there though as from a driving perspective it shows how Scotlands road network can go from one extreme to the other in the space of a few miles.

It would be hard for me to make that as since I always have my Campervan with me I’d be recommending places that I personally had not stayed at which i would rather not do. At least this way I’m confident in everything I’m recommending

Thanks for another great video Chris, in your experience what time of year is best to do a road trip like this? Want to miss midge season if I can and have never been to Scotland.
@ChrisSloanes Жыл бұрын
No problem, hope you enjoy it. Personally we tend to stick to May or September. This way you have a good chance of decent weather and most if not all the Midge are either not there yet or already dead. This year the Midge arrived earlier with the heatwave so May was not great either.

I live up here. I can get to Glencoe in under an hour and even though i see it quite often and relatively easily it never fails to be breathtaking. Glencoe, Skye and Glen Garry are all amazing but I'd also venture to Torridon and Beinn Eighe for some of the most jaw dropping views. I'd also strongly urge anyone to check out one of the most beautiful parts of the UK as another road trip: Highland Perthshire. It spans east and west. It's called Big Tree Country for a reason too; the most Amazing woodlands anywhere in the country. Dunkeld and the monstrous pine forests, Aberfeldy, Loch Tay and Kenmore. And the mountains of Schiehallion, Ben Vorlich and Ben Lawers. Loch Earn and Comrie. And in the summer visit the Crieff Highland Gathering, one of the best games youll see. The whole county is beautiful.
@kumasenlac55049 ай бұрын
If Perthshire had some decent beaches you really wouldn't need any of the rest of Scotland... Slight exaggeration admittedly but it really does have top class everything else in a compact space. My favourite time for Perthshire is autumn as the trees turn to fire.

@@kumasenlac5504 You're right. I drove around in autumn and the colours of the trees on the mountain sides reflecting on the loch surface... It was like a dream. Absolutely breathtaking.
