New DJI Drone Vs Old tree. We're off to the Bute-iful Firth of Clyde island of Bute. In between the rain storms we visit some amazing historical places and get close (a bit too close) to nature.
There's also a guest appearance from a very famous old Scottish lady...

I’m so happy to see that your drone survived and I look forward to seeing a video aboard the Waverley. Really enjoyed looking around Bute, thank you for sharing it with us.

Hi Ian, glad to see that the drone is back working again. I’ve always wanted to visit Bute, it is as you say “very pretty “, cheers Steve

Yeah, we really like it there. Just big enough to have everything you need but rural enough to have lots of pretty bits.

In the USA courgettes are called zucchini.

Glad you found the bowl. Good eye there. That iron hold the boat upright in storage. They used to grease them, and they kick out to slide back in water. Beautiful scenery there. That church needs much work to convert. Being next to the road would not be ideal.🌻

It’s a cracking looking church, and there’s not a lot of traffic.

Charity shop record section. I swear there were some similar records there from the other place you folks went. De'Niro is doing very well at those circle gates. Those islands are on my bucket list, at least one of them. Thanks for sharing!

You do see a lot of very similar records.. lots of tartan and wistful looking young ladies.

Thanks. I just found out I had ancestors from there who settled in New Hampshire sometime pre-colonial.

I don’t think the people mind DeNiro zooming around on them. Love learning the history of the places you visit. Love the drone footage. You sure that wasn’t a whomping willow tree? They attack birds and such 😂

Ahh, that makes sense. It wasn’t me being an idiot, the tree started it 😂🤣😂

Glad the drone is o.k.! We saw what Deniro bought, but not Bex or your purchase. But fun shopping!😊

The "big pink trumpety plants" are called Naked Ladies. My mom was pointing some out to my husband on a recent visit, and his response was that they were pretty but a bit disappointing.

Another cracking video both. You visited some things that I missed last year so I'm just going to have to go back too aren't I? Phew I winced and held my breath when the drone said how do to the tree.

@scotlandonashoestring 9 ай бұрын

There’s quite a lot to see, we love Bute. Although they are a bit careless with where they leave their trees.

@phosawelonewolf2886 9 ай бұрын

So many things to see. Don’t know where to begin. Let us know what happened to the plate, where you put it. I Think I would have hung it on the wall. Glad your drone made it ok. Very lucky. Was a fantastic vlog.

@scotlandonashoestring 9 ай бұрын

Thank you. The plate is sitting in a table for now awaiting its permanent home :)

I really enjoyed this episode. I laughed so much. But learned along the way too. Dinero is so cute. Now I’m wondering. Is a dog getting the zoomies a Scottish expression? My Scottish husband uses the same terminology when our dog gets the zoomies. I’d never heard it before. I’m glad your drone survived. It would have been a sad day if it had been badly hurt. I look forward eagerly to your next installment.

@scotlandonashoestring 9 ай бұрын

I’d never heard of Zoomies until we started hearing about Greyhounds. It’s a term that just fits though :)

Such interesting places today. Thank you. Very intrigued at the churchyard monument you filmed as the surnames are my family name - could they have been ancestors? Going to have to delve a bit now !!! Happy travels
