The Jacobite risings were principally about ending the Union and restoring the Stuart dynasty along with the Scottish parliament. You don't talk about the government or Hanoverian army when talking about the American revolution or any continental war, yet for some reason the idea that the Jacobite risings were a British civil war is still seen by many members of the public as the educated stance to take, despite modern historiography, especially in ENGLAND, acknowledging the rising were national ones. In 1715 the Jacobites raised roughly 22,000 men throughout the rising and in 1745 it was roughly 15,000. For the record the largest Scottish army to be raised prior to that point was roughly 30,000 men under James IV. 22,000 in 1715 was from a fencible, that is to say a military manpower of about 30,000 so these were not small risings and support was immense for the Jacobite cause, both directly and there were many who held Jacobite sympathies. This up swell of support for the cause came from opposition to the act of Union, the rising in 1689 was not particularly large, but after 1707 it was a different story. And for the record by the time of the risings the population of Scotland was at most 2-4% Catholic and had been that way since the 17th century. The most ardent Jacobites were Episcopalians, but there were many Presbyterians as well, particularly in 1715, who feared the Scottish church would lose it's independence under a continued union.

That was really interesting. Made me want to go there, which made me dissatisfied with my life cause I don't have the money, so now I feel lessened...Just kidding, that was really quite a professional travel vlog.

The car hire people can probably give you an automatic if you specifically request it. It might be more expensive but perhaps worth it from a safety, both physical and mental, point of view. You might also consider trying to find a pdf version of 'The Highway Code' online before you come. It covers the basic things in summary, like driving law, rules and regulations, signs and signals, how to deal with roundabouts, etc. Remember, there is no left turn (equivalent to right turn) against a red light, unless a lit green filter arrow specifically allows it.

There is certainly a monster in Loch Ness, lots of tourist jobs depend on it! If you're interested in William Wallace then the Wallace Monument, a tower standing on Abbey Craig, which overlooks the site of the battle of Stirling Bridge, is probably the main thing to see. It has an exhibition which tells the real story of Wallace (unlike the movie Braveheart, which is notoriously unhistorical). The Wallace Monument also houses the sword which reputedly belonged to Wallace. I live about two miles from a monument, just north of the city of Glasgow, which marks the site of the house where Wallace was betrayed to and captured by the English. Unlike in the movie, he did have a companion with him who was killed while trying to defend him.

Driving in the UK, if it is a residential area the speed limit is usually 30MPH, some areas with smaller roads are 20mph. A-roads are usually 50 but some are 40,60 or 70 depending on the size and amount of lanes, country roads are usually national speed limit with is 60mph but most people drive around 40mph on them because they aren't well maintained. Also it's pronounced Jac-O-Bite, as in Jack.

Best to just look for street lights. Unless otherwise stated (every 20-30 seconds at the speed limit) if there are streetlights it's 30mph, if not it's 60mph on a single carriageway and 70mph if there is a central reservation

@spencerwilton5831

Terence Lewis The national speed limit varies depending on the vehicle you are driving! So many signs are simply a white circle with a black diagonal stripe through it rather than a number. This signifies the national speed limit applies. It is up to the driver to know what the limit is for his vehicle and the type of road. For a car it would be 60mph on a single carriage way, 70mph on a dual carriageway or motorway. Lower for vehicles with trailers, caravans, large trucks etc.

The issues I did have: + looking at the mirror (it was on the wrong side for me) + following directions from friend doing the map reading. If he said turn right, I would turn to the offside which in the States is a left turn; and visa versa. + buying petrol (gas) was odd for me, in the States I had to pay first and so had to predict how much I wanted. + in the UK roads are numbered, whereas in the States it the route that is numbers and a road can have more than one route.

Cool video. Future reference, when pronouncing Jacobite/s. Think Jack not Jake. ;)

lol no offence but you need to learn how to say jacobite mate, also the jacobite army were fighting the British not just the English and they were fighting to restore the Stewarts to the throne of Britain. Half the British army was actually made up of scots who didn't support the Stewarts and were enemies with the clans fighting for the jacobite. After the jacobite defeat the British started the Highland clearances which brought about the end of centuries of clan warfare and the Highland way of life, they even banned us from wearing the kilt and banned the Scottish language gaelic, millions of Scots had there whole way of life destroyed and alot of them moved to America and Canada to start a new life and that's how places like nova Scotia came about

Yeah, the Dominoes was right across from our hotel haha. And that's exactly what happened to us. I just pulled out not thinking and Holly wasn't paying attention to what I was doing haha

there are no parking lots in britain, here they are called CAR PARKS.

Ok, I’m about to go off but not all gas’s stations are that price, you should go to Tesco, very cheap :)

What hotel did you use in Inverness?

Something I find weird is that, even in my hometown of less than 20,000 people, there’s a tower twice as old as America, one of the oldest tower houses in Scotland. To have history like that less than a 15 minute walk away is incredibly weird.

Lincoln Riddle Alloa Tower in Alloa (hence the name). It was the residence of one Sir Robert Erskine who was given the land of Alloa as a sort of reward for something, I can’t remember what.

Can I get one thing straight we do not drive on the wrong side of the road you do and the steering wheel is in the right position just look at American history covered wagons, stagecoaches and buckboards the driver is always on the right so tell me please why did Mr Ford put the steering wheel on the left ??????

Used to stick shift, you'll bang your arm in the door frequently. Roundabouts - chips! and they are everywhere: learn where to look for on-coming traffic if you are a swift driver. Single lane roads with evasion stops to pass an on-coming car: learn NOT to instinctively go to the wrong side when there is no other traffic to show you what to do. On the motor way, do not keep lane, and the slow one and fast ones are reversed, and, don't hang in the middle one(s) when more than two lanes in your direction. And, the third day or second week, when you feel comfortable driving, driving away from your countryside B&B, still remember you have to get to the other side of the road. Walk to the other side for the driver's chair. The more experienced you were on your side, the more difficult the other side may be.

@@kirsteneasdale5707- thank you. Used to driving on the right side and all these concepts foreign to me, I had to make something up when Google translate suggested one translation in a different universe. Passing places. So many memories. I remember when I remarked to my wife, the rental car's steering was rather vague at only 120. Her response: "those are miles, not kilometres, per hour." The fun.

The cars aren't tiny you get huge cars over in the UK mate

Ha this is funny... but imagine us driving automatic cars on the wrong side of the road in the USA.... My tip fly into Orange County and not Los Angeles and pick your car up the following day... the scenery is great in Scotland especially the last couple of hours on the train from London to Edinburgh.

I have driven in France and Germany and since I am from the UK it can be a little daunting at first. However, after a couple of days you adjust and it comes as second nature. Tip, always read up on laws and regulations for driving in a foreign country. Paris is very hectic and drivers are not patient at all especially to foreigners.

Paris traffic is crazy. Went there for Disney land and must have seen several crashes. Went by Ferry and coach, so didn't have to worry about driving. The traffic at Arc De Triomphe was pure crazy, I don't even think the parisians have much more of a clue when it comes to that roundabout. It was chaos.

OMG, you are just about to drive a manual car, on the left hand side of the road - I have been driving for around 34 years, and I am British, but I am bracing myself for what comes next (I have paused it to write this)...

You were in Drumnadrochit! (for lunch) Inverness, Glen Urquhart, Culloden and Jacobites all pronounced incorrectly but that's OK as it's very common to mispronounce them. Unforgivable is that literally no one would be able to see you in the Penta hotel waving as the windows are tinted!

A Hyundai i10 is a city car. You said that cars in the UK are small. Well, city cars are, by definition. There would have been plenty of bigger cars available but you seem to have chosen the smallest one possible!

Man driving there sure looks scary, are the pedals also arranged differently? It would be weird for me switching gears with my left hand lol. Take care and best wishes for you

ABC from the right, no different.

countries that drive on the left have fewer collisions,some experts say its because in humans the right eye is stronger than the left eye,so you will see more coming from your right.

30-40% of the worlds countries drive on the left. As brits driving in America or Europe etc - we experience the same thing to you. I find it takes about a day - then it feels natural.

Ik where that is! (I live there)

Florida gets more rain than the majority of the U.K. so when I went over there it felt dry to me!

Why don’t you know the speed limit?

@LincolnintheAdirondacks

Primarily because I didn't see a sign. I looked up and knew the speed limits, but in the US we have speed limit signs every where it seems, so I'm used to looking for those. The issue was resolved within a few seconds of that clip being shot. lol But I didn't include it in the video.
