Stellar effort Sir, absolutely love these, very much like your classic timetable challenges with an extra twist. You even managed to start at a station I’ve never even heard of!

II've added a long comment with a money spinning idea ! Which you both may be interested in maybe even get the Cards Sponsored !! So no outlay!!! regards Sue

That was great Scott. These playing card challenges are superb so keep them coming 👍

You and Steve Marsh are magnets for Stairs and anything uphill 😂. Thanks for another great video Scott.

Oh well, better late than never. For the past few months I’ve been bingeing on your videos (over 90 watched in the past week alone), and have enjoyed the wide variety of your content. I do quite like these challenges, and how you manage to keep things fresh and interesting. I’m looking forward to more of the same at some point, but meanwhile, remain at cruising altitude and keep on producing these great videos.

Brilliant. Love these challenges and it's great to see how much places have changed. Sadly some not for the better. Great work Scott

If "Aulds" was to attract a younger clientele it would to be called "Youngs"!

Yep, that "modern" building is the old Rothesay Academy, built in 1959 and vacant since around 2007 when it moved to new premises. There's been some kind of school on that site since forever and the 1959 construction replaced a fire-gutted previous one.

Title for next book - 'Cruising Altitude'. Great trip, Scott.

I wonder if the Etc. on Cinemas Etc. was referring to a Blockbuster?

I've just shared this video with my friend who's from Rothhesay and she'll love it 😊

That was one of your best yet, Scott. Jeezo, midgies in November! The Scottish midge is a hardy beast, for sure. You'll be ready for another sausage roll in Auld's after that. Next time you go, maybe it'll have been renamed "Young's", and it'll be rammed. Maybe not in November though. But that was great. Thanks for taking us along!

One thing that Aulds need to bear in mind - as their customer base becomes Aulder and 'moves on' - new Aulder folk are constantly discovering that they are no longer young!

You’ll have walked past my house between Fort Matilda and Gourock Pierhead. I can’t believe you went into Aulds on Kempock Street and you didn’t have a fudge doughnut. Sacrilege! Always nice when my wee corner of the world gets featured.

Wonderful video - my late Grandparents & my late Mum would have loved this. Their generation did doon the water

That challenge was great fun - well for us viewers at least. Well done finding them all. The coast is stunning! Thanks so much for the great video!

Always great watching yourself (and Steve Marsh's) adventures. I'm about 5 min from your first viewpoint there! It's actually easier walking from the station before Fort Matilda. Some great cafes and deli's in Gourock!

Love these challenges...photographs bring back lots of memories being born in 1960 and growing up in a place called Paisley...you might have heard of it😊!

Another great vlog, love the variety on offer! Had to chuckle at you 'sneaking' onto the golf course for that shot!

Love this idea, perhaps if you re-take all 52 photos you could produce a 2024 set of playing cards! I would buy one!!

This is such a nice slow TV, like rail away maybe, and Scott's a nice man

You got yourself a pretty big challenge here. 👍👍

Well done on Rothesay. Reminds me of some of GeoWizard's geo detective videos, if you've watched any of those?

Another great video. I hope you do more of the playing cards.

Great video again, and Scott I ordered your book!

Having really enjoyed your race round Scotland against Steve, your pack of cards could provide the bones for another challenge. You start at Buchanan, you each pick 4, one East, one West, one South and one North and the first back with the photos wins!

with a sausage roll at each stop...

Wonderfull video scott brilliant stuff enjoyed thanks brilliant weather too bonus eh

Your book has been ordered. I look forward to reading.

Really enjoyed this one Scott, I’m not one for sausage rolls but after watching this episode I thought why not after walking into Paisley from Elderslie this morning to do a bit of Xmas shopping! Train back to Johnstone of course.

I haven't been in Gourock since the seveties, whe I remember sitting in an Italian café liistening to the BBC's Gaelic service on the café's radio.Something else that has changed...

If Aulds do a good Scotch Pie then I’ll definitely check them out next time I’m up there

fantastic video

Go to Montague Street bakery. Been there for years. I returned to Rothesay recently ( first time in 30 years).. . Sausage rolls, great cakes soup & sandwiches available at excellent prices…. Great to go back despite the changes. Visit Ettrick Bay, Scalpsie Bay.. brilliant views out to Arran

I absolutely loved my Weymms Bay to Rothersay day trip when staying in Glasgow, think it was about £6. The boat was probably one of the best value for money travel journeys I had. A real treat and not too busy.

Another superb trip Scott . Very relaxing and great to look at those traditional towns/resorts.

That walk you did in Rothesay was my walk to school for 6 years in the 70s!

Mine in the 80s 😀😀😀

Excellent challenge 👍 You were lucky not to be nabbed by the Greenkeeper on the golf course. That grim Rothesay school needs rearing down.

Would love to see a Kindle version of the book. We find it easier to read things in the larger print. 🧐❤️

Your vlog sponsorship worked a treat Scott! Book ordered from Amazon and coming on Wednesday. Will be my main reading material for my 2-week holiday, beginning on Thursday 😊

Fab video. My youngest and I cycled up the road past the golf course on our way from the Largs campsite (which you walked past in your over the moors video) to the Bute ferry. It's quite a hill on a tandem with full camping kit, but nicer than being close passed on the fast main road.

And a very good book it is too. It's like reading a KZread video.

Love this card quest challenge. Hope there is more to come.

Loved this, Scott!

I'm going to buy your book 😊

Hopefully you make videos on the rest of the deck. I’ve loved these two videos.

M&S is on the up and up! Also Aulds baked goods can be bought at the Scotmid Coop

Great video Scott. The CalMac ferry journeys reminded me of my childhood when I used to visit my grandparents in Johnstone and Paisley. We would always go on some of the ferries when we were up visiting!

Great video Scott you went above and beyond scrambling through the undergrowth to get the last view. My daughter asked me for suggestions of what I wanted for Christmas so i'm looking forward to your book being delivered by Santa on the 25th.

My favourite place to eat in Dunoon has always been the Rock Cafe ever since I was a kid. I love their pancake breakfasts and big breakfasts

I have only been to Scotland once and I only 2 year's old and that was a visit to Largs, I must pencil in a visit sometime soon

Great stuff again Scott. There was plenty of time for a wee paddle at Dunoon though - bit disappointed!

A fantastic video Scott. I don't live in Scotland now but when I did Dunoon, Gourock, Largs, Campbeltown and Arran were my playground. It was lovely to see some of the places that I knew. I didn't know that the old pier in Dunoon was no longer in use. A big thank you. You bring a lot of joy with your videos.

I always like a good challenge Scott, thank you. My challenge for 2024 is to get to the summit of at least 400 Significant Islands of Britain & currently on 379 so just 21+ SIBs needed during 2024.

Just ordered the book!

Great video Scott! Wish I lived in Scotland, love the place. By the way, I was watching the Star Trek episode "errand of mercy" the other night, there's a great lookalike of you in it!

Great video Scott!

Thanks Scott. What memories. When i was12. 1559/60 we went on a school trip. Steam train from Scunthorpe to Glasgow. Ferry from Gourock to Rothesey. Never forgot it. Started my love of Scotland. We now enjoy coach holidays to Fort William etc

Excellent video Scott, loving this Playing Cards series, are you going to do the whole pack? Also Scott mentioned his book which I got a few months ago and it's a great read, what an adventure. I recommend it to everyone!

Just purchased your book. Looking forward to reading.

Bought your book. Looking forward to reading it here near Boston, Massachusetts ❤

Hi Scott Great video this was a trip down memory lane for an Auld yin like me, as a long exiled Greenockian. Largs is without doubt my favourite. Regards Crawford

Great to see another playing card challenge. The Argyll Flyer is the first and so far the only CalMac ferry I've been on so it was great to see her again, I'd love to try some more.

Excellent challenge! You could try some old newspaper front page pictures. Not page 2.

Hi Scott hope you're kk looking forward to your next video

Just watched this and have loved it! I've seen the Edinburgh/North Berwick one . My question is.... Are you thinking of doing the whole pack of cards?

That was great - really interesting. Your and Steve’s channels are great.

Great video as usual and included my favourite station Wemyess Bay even though I've only been to it once, it's just something about the architecture

Another brilliant playing card challenge Scott.

Absolutely brilliant video lots and lots of memories thanks Scott 👍

I'm happy that you came to Dunoon and hope you come back during the warmer months. Dunoon is part of the mainland and I think people assume that it isn't due to the ferries. There is a road that leads to Inveraray, Oban, Luss, Dumbarton and Arrochar.

Thanks Scottie. Another great video programme. (yes, I still spell programme the old fashioned way). And photographers always sought out hills in the past to take their panoramic shots from, because people liked horizons. Thats's why so many cities have elevated lookouts. In Dundee on my pilgrimage to where my dad was born (Invergowrie) smack in the middle of Dundee we found Law Hill. It gave us magnificent unhindered views of Dundee and Tayside. As we soaked up the view on a late spring morning, a wee rabbit grazed at our feet. A magic moment to treasure.

Thanks for the excellent video. I bought your book and am looking forward to receiving it. Since I live in Italy, it will take a few days. Like you, I had an Italian grandfather. Luckily, my recognition as an Italian citizen went through, no problem. I was sorry to hear that yours didn’t. What happened? I look forward to all your videos.

4:10 verified yapper

That was a lovely wee trip to parts I've not been to in a long time. 6:46 Was she having a cheeky latte in Aulds with you? Something's giving her some pep in her step! Also, can you stop saying "Jeezo"? You're giving my English wife _Still Game_ flashbacks! 😂

Love this series. Thanks!

Cheers Scott, interesting 😮

Fascinating idea Scott

Yes that was Fun Thanks

Good video Scott, was wondering if you were going to do anymore, glad you have

Nice challenge Scott! ❤

Epic video Scott! Literally show casing Scotland at is finest!

Fantastic challenge well done

Loved it, great jaunt.

The view from Lye Hil is stunning, but definitely prefer driving up.

Fantastic video Scott

Keeping my eyes peeled for any Dunoonians I recognise. My home town

Well done Scott! Keep up the good work and keep on at cruising altitude ☕️

Your videos are brilliant, glad I stumbled across your channel.

Another great video keep up the good work

Great reason for a day out. I look forward to some more of the pack. 😊

Nice wee video. You are absolutely right about Aulds. I hope one of your viewers is a friend to Aulds and passes on the knowledge.

Love the videos and your such an amazing story teller so of course I’ve ordered the book ❤❤

Well done Scott 👏 the video was amazing and you went all out to achieve your goal can't wait for the new video 😀 👍.

Great video. I stay on Bute, work with West Coast Motors. That was my old school. Closed in 2007 when the Joint Campus opened. One point re Dunoon - there still is a public library. It’s situated within the redeveloped Queens Hall.

Bought your book and really looking forward to reading it .😊

I never knew you wrote a book ! A book written by you was unknown to me ! Knowledge of your having written a book was absent in my case ! Never in a million years (54 years, actually) was it brought to my attention that you put pen to paper resulting in a published tome ! So I ordered it straight away before I forget. Er ... Could you repeat the question ?

Love Dunoon area. Interesting video

Thank you Scot for another fun video ! Your ideas on the video content are always original and entertaining. Your sense of humor is such a great plus. Look forward for more such creative content and reading your book !! Happy filming and Best wishes.

Just ordered your book. I loved this video.

Yea Again i found your book n amazon in usa ordered it cant waite to get it my Friend

Like these playing cards episodes. Hopefully you'll eventually do the whole deck.
