I love how his Scottish accent comes out even more when he's talking about Scotland. 😊

I can't believe Sam mentioned the taxi drivers! lol - I LOVED Scotland when I visited (and am returning soon). The taxi drivers were the absolute BEST; funny & entertaining, personable. One even adopted us & tailored his schedule to ours for a couple of days. JUST the best. 💗

I"ve been wanting to visit Scotland ever since I started reading Outlander about 25 years ago and I'm finally going in 2 months. I can't wait!

I have been to Scotland twice and everything Sam said about it is the absolute truth! The people truly are wonderful, the scenery is superb and the food is great! I’m sure the whiskey is magnificent but I can’t attest to it because I don’t drink it but I can’t believe you would waste your time with whiskey made anywhere else in the world! In a word, I believe Scotland is magical!

As an American everyone in Scotland is so friendly. Loved my time there.

[dee-exotica]

That made me laugh a little at the end when he said "They'll find out everything about your life before you finish your journey". I wonder how they deal with quiet people. Hhmmmm

[faerlywell]

I've been to Scotland 3 times, specifically have done a road trip around the highlands twice and it's never been enough for me. I plan to go back as soon as I can.

[hannahdickens]

Delightful. I did go to Scotland in my 20's on a backpacking trip around Europe. I got to see a festival in Edinburgh. The youth hostrl sas in a castle. And I recall great vanilla fudge...maybe it was that tablet you showed. ( I am 70 now.)

So informative for 12 minutes only! I love the passion of the narrator - you can feel through the screen how Sam loves his native lands ❤
Oh, forgot to mention that Scotland is my dream destination, and I hope to get there quite soon. We Ukrainians love Scottish longing for freedom ✨😇
