Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

You forgot the number one rule in the UK: ALWAYS respect the queue! Whether it be a shop, the bus stop or a pub, always recognise the person in front of you in the queue is before you. There will be consequences if you don´t.

I'm living in Aberdeen for about 5 month and I'm loving the scottish people. They're really friendly.

Went to Scotland in 2018 and I’ve been dying to get back ever since! I loved Edinburgh but anyone who goes to Scotland and doesn’t spend time in the highlands is really missing out. Heaven on Earth!

I love that all of your donts are basically 'dont forget to have a great time'

When I moved to Scotland from US, my Edinburgh friends said ' when you are on a train, you are expected to be willing to talk with your fellow travelers' - that was good advice. The problem with driving a car is you are enclosed and so you don't get to chat to people. So my advice is - be open to people. I actually had a man on a bus in Donegal come to me as he was leaving - 'are you traveling on your own?' I said, 'yes' - he said, 'good for you!' People like to meet visitors. Also, when you see a piper playing on the street, like in Edinburgh, remember to leave him or her a bit of change - I had to point that out to my dad - people playing music in the open are doing it, yes, for your enjoyment, but they are not being paid by someone else, so remember to give them a few of your spare coins as a 'thank you for your music, I enjoyed it!'

Spent 4 weeks hitch-hiking alone around Scotland in 1989, came up to Orkney, that was a life-changing experience. This summer my wife and I are going back, now by car, and can't wait to see it back. Thanks for your useful story.

[BlueBlossom]

As a Scot this is really fun to watch. I love how much you guys are enjoying Scotland!! I grew up abroad and moved back for university, I absolutely love it here. People are so friendly and the nature/architecture is beautiful!

THANK YOU FOR ADVERTISING OUR AMAZING BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND UNDERSTANDING SCOTTISH PEOPLE, ENJOY YOUR VISIT, LOVE FROM ABERDEEN SCOTLAND 👍

[Georgesn]

As a Scot I can confirm this is pretty accurate... Though it is also true that as a visitor, you are required to fight a haggis to the death

Biggest Don’t of Scotland: Don’t call Edinburgh Eedenboro

[GabrielTravelerVideos]

You forgot to mention the sticky toffee pudding!! ;) It looks good by the way. Haggis is pretty good too actually, also neeps and tatties.
