Driving To The UK's HIGHEST Road!

I take the Jaguar F-Type R to the UK's Highest Road, Cairnwell Pass in Scotland. It was a 4am start, but well worth it, as this was also where Top Gear filmed the original F-Type review with Jeremy Clarkson.

The Cairnwell Pass (Scottish Gaelic: Càrn a' Bhailg) is a mountain pass on the A93 road between Glen Shee, Perthshire, and Braemar, Aberdeenshire, in the Scottish Highlands. The border between the two counties crosses the summit of the pass. With a summit altitude of 670 m (2199 ft), the Cairnwell Pass is the highest main road in the United Kingdom, and at the summit is the Glenshee Ski Centre, Scotland's largest and oldest ski centre. Historically, the pass was a drover's route from the Lowlands to the Highlands. The road is often blocked by snow in the winter, with snow gates at Braemar, at the summit (south of the Ski Centre), and at the Spittal of Glenshee.

Everytime I’m watching STG, I constantly spend time trying to count how many different shots Sam takes for B-Roll. Immense amount of work. Thanks Sam.

This kind of content will sell Jaguars faster than Carole Baskin can save them.

hey sam, the driving shots and POV with no music was a right call. thanks for that. great video as usual dude.

I live in that area and drive that road regularly. About 20 years ago I was driving home from Edinburgh in my Fiat Coupe 20 Valve Turbo, enjoying a test of speed with a motorbike. I crested the peak of the hill in front, and as we passed the ski centre had to slow down for several vehicles that pulled out from the left. The bike cheekily scooted past and I went to follow, only to have the rearmost of the other vehicles swerve into my path as I tried to overtake. The air turned sprint blue to match the car as I lay on the brakes. I then noticed the passenger of that car, a black Discovery, looking directly at me while talking on a handset, the array of non standard aerials and the cars in front of it. That black Discovery, a black Range Rover, a little green Series 1 Landrover, a black Range Rover and a black Discovery in the lead.
They drove at 35 - 40 for the next 30 miles, not letting anyone overtake, until they turned into the right, where the driver of the Series 1, a little old lady in a headscarf, has a wee holiday home.

This is just one of those videos that makes you want to get out and drive! Another banger Sam.

There hasn't been enough fresh content on the new F-Type on Youtube. This is the sort of content my entire being was craving. Great vid Sam 🔥

[bhargavshatrughna]

The intro, footage and professionalism is just amazing. And no music with the driving shots so that we can hear that amazing V8 is a nice decision! Enjoyed this very much, loving the recent F-Type content.

[MiguelRibera]

Mega video Sam, the lack of music.. the improvisation, the landscape, the sound of that beast... Superb job!

[theriverGauja]

Absolutely loving the Top Gear tribute drive. Without having re-watched the original piece, the bit starting at 15:15 feels exactly like the TG segment. Fantastic!

[Bluenose]

That road looks epic and you got some amazing footage, breakfast looked decent too! Loving the roof down spirit Sam, loving the F-Type and road trip

[fraserpitkethly]

Fantastic video Sam. I can tell you were really enjoying yourself and it’s good to see that on YouTube.

[JM]

I love these kind of videos. Just you, a cool car and an awesome road.

[doggedlydetermined]

Truly beautiful scenery! No better way to capture the moment than in a gorgeous Jaguar convertible!

[mrmartin]

Drove my Calibra to Glenshee on a long road trip many years ago, it's a beautiful part of the world, stunning video as als Sam ( oops it was Glencoe 😊)

[samcas]

still loving my rwd f-type r since ordering it new back in 2015. this piece has made me want to get up at 4am and get it out more. I’ve thought about buying a roma to freshen things up but just when I thought I was out, that sound pulls me back in

[konshter]

That's the type of content I subscribed for! Thank you, the level of commitment is pure inspiration!

[Ejorna]

Unbelievable how underrated your videos are. Quality is one of the best out there. Thank you for not giving up when views might not be as good as we would like.

This must be one of your greatest video ever! Love the morning vibe with no music!

[fabienbrochard]

Being inspired by Top Gear's F-Type video too and to have done this road on a V6 F-Type few summers ago I can only confirm how great this road is. Thanks a lot for this kind of content Sam. Such a special place for drivers and your F-Type fits so well in that special place. Can't wait to come back to Scotland with a proper british car too. Hope to see more content like this one with your F-Type Sam - a french fan.

This is the road that Henry Catchpole took an Aston N430 over a few years ago for evo. I'm still yet to go but it looks fantastic!
