I just love the autumn colours, they are spectacular near the Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall, with the orangey-red of the bracken and the beautiful golden trees. In my mind that made up for not being able to get the very best view of the waterfall. Having moved from the Highlands to live in Spain 10 years ago, autumn colours are one of the things I really miss.

Great video, you definitely got a welcoming back home to the beauty of Scotland in the Autumn. My fiancé and I visit Scotland in October most years and it never fails to wow us. On our way home this year via visiting our friends in Moffat we too were able to see that outstanding waterfall. Wedding plans are really coming together for you, so happy for you both and hopefully look forward to seeing your wedding when it happens. Oh lucky boot find eh,

As a fello Scot’s of an older age I realise the stresses and strains and the responsibilities of being a best man, I therefore put myself forward to be a standin of said duty in case said fellow man is a tad under the weather and therefore can’t undertake said responsibilities/duties. I also put myself forward as standin father of the bride Again in case said person is a tad blootered the night before. My kilt is on standby

Yes same place- looks like he’s upped his game since 2020. There were no facilities or parking bays when we were there - we had to reverse next to the house and were happy to pay £20 but he insisted it was £20 each which we thought was excessive so didn’t stay.

Think it is you that is ' not all that bright ' by making uncalled for comments like that; Keyboard warrior springs to mind. The fact that these guys are happy to record, and show, their mishaps goes a long way to saying they are genuine - and human 🙂. I for one enjoy laughing with them and seeing what they get up too.
