We've lived in Scotland for the past 25 years and enjoy it immensely. You can have several seasons or climates in a single day over the vast sweep of the highland area where we stay. The day may begin with a springlike rain and mist, progress to sunshine and a hot summery afternoon, and end in a star-filled sky and evening around the woodburner that feels like winter's on the way. We began living in Fife at St. Andrews, moved to Edinburgh for the years my children were at university and retired to a village in Perthshire. All hugely interesting historically and truly beautiful, each in its own way. The scenery and wildlife are magnificent. The people are friendly with a great sense of humour and they love to celebrate at the drop of a hat. The only downside is that, if you aren't from here, you'll never be "Scottish" and will remain forever an outsider at some level. That we've yet to overcome and the precedents aren't good. Even so, I've no regrets and believe we picked a country where I'll be happy to live indefinitely.

The clip of Edinburgh street at 1:30 is in Stirling, the street view of Stirling at 4:57 is Dublin, the drummers from 7:32 is not Inverness, 14:35 & 14:46 is not Aberdeen, 14:50 IS Aberdeen.

Right - I love Dundee as it's my home city, but I would not put it in the top 4 places in Scotland haha. I definitely would not put it above the highlands, edinburgh and glasgow haha. In my opinion, the top places are Glencoe, loch lomond and the trossachs (you can give stirling a miss), Cairngorms, and anywhere on the west coast. If you want see the real Scotland, avoid the big cities.

My wife and I both love Scotland, have visited there from Texas three times since 2019. Our first visit was well aided with the Explorer Pass from Historic Scotland (we bought ours at Edinburg Castle). It showed us many "off the beaten path" attractions to seek out. One of them was Bonawe Iron Works. Ironically, there were castle ruins that moved us more than Edinburgh Castle. Particularly, Urquardt Castle. Clava Cairns, which is close to Inverness, was also quite amazing. The historical abbey at Iona was magnificient, as was another stop on the same tour to see puffins on a high cliff. All of this was initiated from departing from Oban on a boat. Oban was wonderful to see, especially the Nori's Fish and Chips, and the gift shop at the Oban distillery. I hope we go back to Scotland soon. Like another person said, the Isle of Skye is staggering in its beauty. I could go on and on as I am reminded, and I have not seen a huge part of Scotland yet.

I think personally that Edinburgh is the most beautiful place in Scotland. A very beautiful country!

[kenneilson]

I traced my heritage to Newhaven, Scotland. Yes, I have been to Edinburgh and Oban. Would love to return someday.

I have never been to Scotland. What a beautiful country with a rich heritage and cultural history!! Thanks for a great tour of the beautiful cities of Scotland!! I subscribed to your channel !!

I really enjoyed the video, it’s really interesting how you ranked each of these places, a somewhat unconventional choice of ranking placing Dundee, Aberdeen & Inverness above Edinburgh and Glasgow. The omission of the Hebrides and the North coast was also a bit surprising. There are so many places in Scotland worth a visit and many of them will be somebodies favourite spot
If any other viewers are planning a trip to Scotland I would suggest watching a good number of these types of video to form an opinion of where you’d like to visit as everyone has a different favourite and all views are subjective ( not in anyway a criticism of this video).

I was in Scotland in 1991. I didn't have a lot of time there but Edinburgh was great and I really enjoyed being on a train and seeing the beautiful green countryside go by. I want to go back and hike in the highlands as well as visit some of the islands.

You missed one very important point at st Andrew’s. You show the students & faculty walking in their red robes but you don’t say why. When I was there every Sunday morning they do this to pay tribute to the students and faculty who died tragically in the sea. It is a sight to behold with all that red marching to the sea

Went to Scotland this year. It was beautiful and I can't wait to go back. The history and geography are breathtaking ❤

[phatzwave]

Visiting the Isle of Islay and Orkney islands were some of my favorite places to go when in Scotland.

[catherinegill]

My husband & I visited the Orkeny islands in our camper a few years ago. We have to say it was one of the most beautiful trips we’ve ever had. There is so much to see I would certainly recommend a visit 👋👋

[LieWinarto]

I have never been to any place in Scotland. I think Scotland is a beautiful and interesting country. Just hope and pray that one day I will be there to enjoy everything. Ameeennn...God Bless.
