If Scotland is on your bucket list, this ten day road trip brings together everything people love about this country, dramatic Highland scenery, quiet lochs, ancient castles, little villages, island ferries, historic trails, and the wild weather that makes every stop feel alive. I drove across glens, explored ruins, wandered through old towns, chased waterfalls, and found moments that completely caught me off guard.
This video breaks down the route day by day so you can follow it or adapt it for your own trip. You’ll see Glencoe, the Isle of Skye, Stirling, the Kelpies, hidden waterfalls, legendary castles, and some of the most breathtaking roads in Scotland. It is a packed itinerary, but every mile is worth it.
Thanks to our great Producer Patreons!

What time of year was this filmed? You had amazing luck with weather.
What an amazing trip and wonderful video! And I'm literally laughing out loud over the Monty Python references. Watched that movie too many times to count during my high school days. Pops and the coconuts had me rolling!
❤🏴 Thanks for this video on Scotland! My Grandparents were from Glasgow and Edinburgh. It would be my dream to visit Scotland, visit these places, and see where they grew up.
59:58 Although that hot chocolate looks decadent, my favourite for hot chocolate is Angelina's in Paris, by the Tuileries Garden. Agree. It's next level!
Song is legit! Jardine clan from Canada here. Enjoyed the video
Your Dad singing the folk song was magical for many reasons 🥹happy trails to you all 💖
Good video guys, your dad’s knowledge of old Scot’s songs.. “the Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond”
It's criminal, I tell ya! Glenfinnan has been stolen by Harry Potter! It SHOULD be remembered as the birth place of Connor MacLeod (Highlander). "I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal."
I totally know that song and the words I never knew it came from Scotland though that’s pretty cool
I do believe those fantastic yellow shrubs everywhere are gorse. I've enjoyed a little blood pudding in Ireland, where it also a breakfast staple. I like it! Drizzle it with some egg yolk, oh my!
I’ve had black pudding before it depends on how it was cooked. I have a friend that lives in Glasgow and she makes it very well. And it was delicious.
Love watching your blog on Scotland brought back a lot of memories for me. I was there in 2018.
Thanks for sharing this awesome information , I'm planning to visit soon !
'You take the high road…' I knew the song! I remember it from my father listening to 'the hit parade' when I was growing up. Love the spontaneous singing. Is Pops single? 💚
I would like to know how much he laughed watching the Scots in Boston with the traffic cones during the World Cut.😂
Epic road trip to Scotland 🏴 I so enjoyed this video…..Thank You both
I went to some of the places you and your dad went, but went in late September – early October Of last year. I’d like to go in the spring. What month did you guys go?
I have to say you are so blessed to have such an amazing Father to do all of this with you. He is such a good sport. I imagine some of these things are quite the challenge . Live your videos . I will never see these countries so I see them through your lens for sure. Thank you so much
I remember some little Scottish girl singing the high road/low road song on “The Little Rascals” 😅
Fantastic video! Luss is 20 minutes drive from me, and every party worth going to in Scotland ends with a rendition of Loch Lomond, you should listen to Runrig's version! Ive walked the entire length of Loch Lomond on the West Highland Way twice (I highly recommend doing it!). that old bridge near the Rest and Be Thankful is called Butterbridge, but I don't know the history behind it. The MV Lord of the Isles is affectionately called Loti. At the closed road, I'd have recommended walking about a quarter mile down to the clump of trees – there's a series of waterfalls there and it's beautiful. If you're stuck for food next time you're at Glencoe Village or Ballachulish, head to Kinlochleven – there's a few options there (even if it's always busy with walkers) – and Kinlochleven is famous as it was the first place anywhere in the world where every house had mains electricity. I've been drinking Irn Bru while watching your video and can confirm that "cheeky wee heid" is cheeky wee head, talking about the fizzy head when you pour it!
Wonderful video !! We are headed to Scotland in September…so excited!! Is 'Pops' your father? Or grampa? Love his sense of 'life'
Hey there TML, great trip. I was wondering what month you did this trip? I am concerned about weather (rain and cold) in march. Thanks especially for the travel tips for Islay. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us
What month were you there?
❤ What a fantastic channel and what an amazing vlog 💯
I am Scottish who travels extensively in the Highlands, and even when I am sitting at home on the sofa watching vlogs on my country as I am now, I still feel so proud and patriotic of what majesty lies within our land.
This is a message to you and your viewers around the world … All of Scotland is beautiful, particularly the Highlands, and the West and North West Highlands are the most mesmerising area of the country.
Perhaps take in the Hebrides, Edinburgh and Glasgow too on your next visit.
This is one of the best compact vlogs I have ever seen about my country, so thanks for showing the world this buddy – not that we necessarily needed the advertising 😂
You are welcome anytime ✨
Take time to watch the video of Runrig singing "Loch Lo.ond" at their final concert on the banks, I'm sure you'll love it
This is my first time in your channel and just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed every minute of this video! Your Pops inspired me and I’m now his fan 🙂 Blessings from a Mexican fellow!
Wonderful you two are so entertaining.
Yes my great great grandparenths immigrated from Scotland to South Africa years ago, on my mothers side, my grandmother grandparenths , the Redpath family. I love scotland allot.
Its most beautiful country with most beautiful flag and love the song Flower of Scotland with all my heart.
I been researching aboit Scotland and my Redpath family, that side of my family.x
Kudos to Pops for his efforts. Glad he made it up there. Go hard or go home 😛
I really enjoy watching these 2 guys. So upbeat and beautiful scenery. You will love this trip to Scotland. I want to leave right now and go travel there same footsteps!
Very nice trip you and your pappa have taken me throught this video.
51:31 WHY YOU DO HIM LIKE THAT 😭😭😭
I can’t imagine the planning that’s involved with doing a trip like this, with all the hotels and timing your journey between them. I’ve never done anything like that.
Enjoying your videos, but just have to say, Glasgow cathedral (or any other really old csthedrals) aren't made of concrete, modern concrete (Portland) was created by a Brit in 1824!
Black pudding is Oatmeal, suet and pigs blood…. Ewe.. no thank you
Got a flat tire in our rental car about 10 minutes from smoo cave. Our trip was one fiasco after another, but was sooo much fun. I love Scotland!
I’m going in October, my granddaughter is getting married Nov 1. She has rented a whole castle. She lives in Anstruther. It looks so amazing. Thanks for your tour! I’m praying we have weather like you had when we are there.. we are there are 2 weeks.
Can we we all adopt your popes.
Those rocky water falls are going to be a great knock out.
Really enjoyed this video! I'm planning a trip to the UK and have added some of your suggested stops as you have captured it all so well. Thank you! I need to find your Pops' video on Haggis as my travel partner is.hesitant and I am determined to make him like it!
Well done guys
The Falkirk Wheel is well worth a visit along with the Kelpies. Scotland is amazing.
Well done Pops 😊
IMO Glen Coe is one of the most beautiful places in the world not just Scotland.
