I came across your road trips in Scotland by accident. The best I've ever watched. And by the way, You are better presenters than most professionals on TV. You are both naturals. Well done in showing how beautiful my country is. 👍

There's so much I love about this video. The waterfall, the drone shots, the music, the pie. But most of all I want to say, 'yes, whenever I go hiking I end up pretending i'm hiking across middle earth.' It just has to be done.

Wow, beautiful waterfall and those caves are so cool! Also, great question about if there may be a limit of how much beauty we can recognize and truly appreciate. There often feels like there is a loss of that sense of amazement and wonder in our own experiences when we live in a world where we can pick up our phones and scroll through thousands of photos and see just as many videos of breathtaking landscapes so easily... and just keep scrolling without really valuing what we're looking at. Have to remember to actually stop and smell the roses! 😄

I loved the part where you explain that Scotland was once attached to the Eastern United States. Heather grows wild in Scotland... and the only other place it does so is Nantucket Island off the East Coast of Massachusetts. Imagine that! My father's family emigrated to the US from the Loch Ness area. We're of Clan MacDonald.

The scenery is lovely and your camera-work is stunning. Thank you for sharing this with us. As for those bonker folks----about 20 years ago when we were much younger (mid-40's) we visited the UK and we got off the beaten track on Snowdon in Wales. The path led to a scree and we didn't think we had any other option on how to get to the top. I'm thinking it was even steeper than what you just showed. I was pretty scared let me tell you! Of course we get to the top and see that there was a more reasonable path that we missed...and took that back down. I sure hope no one was filming us!! It was kind of you to watch out for them. :-)

I did the NC500 & sometimes the beauty can be completely overwhelming. I wasn't until I got back to London that I realised how gorgeous Scotland is. I'm definitely going to do it again. Happy & safe travels. Terry.

I've seen a lot of Scotland but still you see spectacles that you have to be derr to witness,you feel a real belonging to the land,

Beautiful waterfall! I would go to Scotland for those pies! Lol

When finishing the NC500, don’t forget to go to Glen Etive and drive the whole single track road to Loch Etive. James Bond and M were there (Skyfall). And when you are there, enjoy Glen Coe en take the ferry to drive around the Isle of Mull (and if possiblein this season, take a boat trip to Staffa!) And as we can not easily travel to Scotland from the Netherlands due to the Covid restrictions, we enjoy your videos even more! Thanks!

We felt exactly the same on our Scottish road trip this summer. Endless miles of bounding beauty. You need fresh eyes to appreciate it all. We took a ferry to the Outer Hebrides and ended up extending our stay there because it was so beautiful! So we still have to go back and do the NC500! 😝😍 another great watch, thanks!

Thank you for making this video for us in such soggy weather. The view is breathtaking. You two have the whole place to yourself. That's so awesome! Looking forward to your next video.

Fantastic work, we have loved revisiting some of the places we enjoyed on our Scottish road trip a couple of years ago, and that waterfall was amazing and wow, words we overused on our trip.

Absolutely stunning scenery, loved it so much will watch again. ❤️❤️

Wow, this Scotland series is just amazing! ❤

Hello alex & emma. Fantastic video.. love all the content, music and info you put together. All the best, safe travelling and thanks for sharing.

I *LOVED* the Hawaiian slack guitar music at Achmelvich Beach! Inspired idea for such a bone-chilling stretch of water. Keep 'em coming, these videos - they are keeping me going.

I was born in Scotland and we had some holidays up in the highlands. And strangely it's the smell I really remember. It's so clear but with a hint of heather and dampness. I'm loving these videos guys! And that drone shot of the waterfall was incredible.

I've seen people climbing vertically up scree in trainers...I could barely watch. So gutted I missed that waterfall when I was doing the NC500 last year! I spied the Applecross road in your preview for the next video. I'm looking forward to seeing it as we were talked out of doing it due to how bad the road is supposed to be! Hoping to see Ullapool in your next video, I love it so much! There's a stunning waterfall near Fort William, Steall Falls, that I wanted to go to a couple of months back (but the route is closed till the end of October). Another stunning waterfall is at Kinlochleven, but it's difficult to get up close to. I did manage it a few years ago, but gave up on my last visit!! If you've got time there's some amazing waterfalls in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park including the Falls of Falloch (small but *very* impressive), the Falls of Dochart (a series of rapids running through a village called Killin), Bracklinn Falls at Callander (unfortunately the bridge there is shut which means you don't get the best views, so you're best visiting when the bridge has been replaced), the Little Fawn Waterfall in Aberfoyle (near a great spot to see Red Squirrels). On a similar theme there's the Devil's Pulpit near Drymen (which is pronounced Drimin!! Get there early to avoid disappointment, I live 10 miles away and haven't managed to visit yet, trying again this weekend though!)

Most crazy thing I have seen: husband taking a picture of his wife VERY CLOSE to a black bear while I was camping in the Adirondacks, New York State, USA. The bear was eating and the husband just kept telling her to get closer so he could get a better picture. I have had a bear come into my campsite and they are usually looking for food. If you secure your food and keep your distance they will usually just move on. It is very stupid to get too close to them while they are eating or when they have cubs. They are not as agressive as grizzly bears but they are still very dangerous. All I could think was, "she needs a new husband!!!!"

Great video. Very beautiful scenery to walk through and explore. Really needed it after a day of house painting!

Thanks for the recommendations - were doing the NC500 over the holidays and loving your tips!! Lochniver pies were great and so was the Drumbeg road we took to get there. Have fun in Austria!!

Normally, I watch your videos on my iPad, but today, I watched it though my Apple TV on my big screen TV and the beautiful drone shots and the scenes of the waterfall were so gorgeous. I’m glad I saw it on my TV because this was great to watch. Keep up the great work on these videos! I love your vlogs!

I do love the west coast of Scotland, it made me go on the quest for wanting even more beauty...found it on the Isle of Harris. Truly the most beautiful place in the U.K. I now live here and never tire of how stunning it is.

Your drone shots are awesome. I especially enjoyed the footage of the cave. Cheers guys

So worth the hikes. Thanks for sharing so much beauty we can always use more.

Breathtaking scenery and wonderful videography...your enthusiasm is evident in the quality of your videos and you are both funny and natural in front if the camera. I had no idea Scotland is so beautiful...lucky Beans 👍

And for anyone watching this video and reading this comment - much of our modern understanding of geology has been influenced by studies of the rocks in Assynt. And Knockan Crag is well worth the visit on a decent day, as it is the area where evidence of the Moine Thrust was demonstrated. Normally you would expect that layers of younger rocks would be deposited on layers of older rocks so, if you took a slice like a slice of a cake, the older layers are at the bottom and the rocks become successively younger as you come to the surface. In the Moine Thrust, a sheet or layer of older rocks from the east of Scotland, pushed by geological forces over the aeons, maybe moving at the speed human nails grow, was pushed westwards through and over other layers of rocks previously in place there, and ending up poking out of the ground at places like Knockan Crag, OVER THE TOP of younger rocks. At first people couldn't understand how older rock appeared to have been laid down on top of younger rocks. All good stuff, and wonderful views to be seen everywhere.

Another sublime video! Please keep 'em coming

WOW!!! You two are a breathe of fresh air!!! Great video! Thank you and have subscribed!👏👏👏👏

Amazing video. So happy to see you discovering so many wonderful places.

love the drone footage of the waterfall

Such beautiful scenery! We have to go back when we can spend more time and hopefully have better weather. We were in shock when we got to York and there were so many people. Being in Scotland with so much space spoiled us. Thanks for another great video

See any gold in those streams? I have read that people have been panning for gold in the NC500. And, I never thought about, can you endure too much beautiful scenery? You two have definitely shown us some wonderful landscapes of Scotland. Loved that waterfall on the first hike. Aside from drunken behavior, I've only seen the same as you, people hiking off-trail where they might hurt themselves(why?). Thank you lovely Beans for taking us on a tour of the western NC500, it has left me longing for more.

I live by the Olympic National Park, and several years ago, I hiked up a snowy mountain trail. Only my tracks were visible in the snow going up the trail. Coming back down the trail I saw large cougar tracks in the snow following my tracks. I never saw the cougar😾 but I left the area very fast. I love your videos,💑 Stay safe don't push the limits on the trail. Cheers 🍻🍻🧔

What an awesome road trip 😎 The hike to the Waterfall was totally worth it. Thanks for the video and keep them coming 😃

Such a stunning place, even in the soggy Scottish weather. Loving these vids 😍 💜

These are just two of the nicest people. Thank you for coming to our country.

Like you I went up the east coast and back down the west coast (saving the best until last). As I was doing this on my own I had to stop numerous times to take in the magnificent scenery. I did this route back in 2016 before ‘staycations’ and in early May before the midges. It really is the most memorable trip. Thank you so much for bringing back those fabulous memories.

This series of videos from the NC 500 is so inspiring, we NEED to do this!

That was lovely. Thank you very much.

great video! I watched on my laptop for a change and the bigger screen definitely did your drone shots and the splendour of Scotland's scenery more justice. Your photography and production are really good. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip & you continue making videos, you're awesome.

Stunning footage vof the waterfall. Oh believe me we seen Tourist trying to climb Arthur seat in Edinburgh Not the proper way 🤦‍♀️ but they managed just . One side the path is rubble like. So not very nice on foot you can slide away very easily otherside there is a path . West coast is wetter and more midges😜 alway remember visiting Family on the west coast. We had plenty of insect repellent with us 😅. Looking forward to your next video

Great video and Scotland does look incredible. I just couldnt cope with the weather though, its dire!

Did they have fish 🐠available? How much petrol have you used so far? What are some of your expenses to watch out for? What a fun trip so far!☺

I did the NC500 anti-clockwise with my wife in August and we both agreed it was awesome. The weather was great, blue skies pretty well all the way, so the views were amazing. Every bend in the road we went round we just waited for the next ‘wow’. We got to a point that we stopped taking pictures as firstly they didn’t do it justice and secondly we were on sensory overload! Great video.

Beautiful. When I can next get back to the UK, this is definitely on my list of things to do.

Loved the video, especially the bit when you were wrestling with the drunk farmer.

Nice coffee at the coffee hut. Did the NC500 a few weeks ago and loved the west coast. The comment about too many take aways is spot on. You need loads more time to soak it all in.

Absolutely loving this trip, every time you go round a bend it’s like another scene from Jurassic Park!! And I’m watching on my new TV, it’s like I’m there!! Keep’em coming Beans!!!

Store all those beautiful scenic views away in your memory banks. As seasoned travels such as yourself can attest, it's not all unicorns and rainbows out there. Love watching your reactions to things I've seen in my travels. Brings a better appreciation for what our world has to offer.

Guys this video is fantastic. I was casually watching multitasking but within 10 seconds I was glued to this video. Thanks for sharing…. I’m a bit envious 😊😂😊

Once again good Quality vlog... 👍

What a great place you found, great video!

Scotland is amazing, so beautiful. Really enjoyed this video (I always enjoy your videos), and you two are lovely 🙂

Loved the video. It make me want to visit Scotland. The craziest thing I have seen is someone trying to take a picture of a bison from 2 feet away.

So much beautiful nature! I agree with how nice it is to reach a reward at the end of a hike. A waterfall, beautiful caves..perhaps the next one leads to...a pub!! 🍺

Totally relate to the natural beauty appreciation overload. I'm from England but have lived in New Zealand for five years now and I feel like my benchmark has been set ridiculously high, especially after visiting Milford Sound, which I don't know can ever be topped (you guys would love it here)!!

Good video about a part of the NW Highlands (Assynt) I have visited many times. I trust the next one is about Ullapool or further down the coast to Poolewe and Gairloch - both very much worth a visit. I will be going back up to Ullapool in the next month (my wife & her sister own a former hunting lodge/residence for rent that used to be available for hire before they acquired it - right at the start of Loch Broom.

Amazing scenery. Your videos are brilliant. Love your personalities. 👍😊💙

Love it! We done a tour of Scotland last year (Not the NC500) and spent 12 days in the back of a Mondeo. We have recently picked up a converted LWB Sprinter so can't wait to start full time van life in a couple of months!!

Great video! I love it when you are telling a couple of 70 years olds off for taking chances going up that hill.

Told you didn't I? LOL Nice drone footage by the way!

We did the Knockan Crag walk with the tour guide in the summer. Well worth booking a slot. It puts the whole landscape in perspective. This spot at the side of the road just happens to be where they discovered plate tectonics, and at one time formed the base on a mountain range as high as the Himalayas.

Hi guys wow the waterfall is amazing

WOW. did not know that about Scotland and North America. Cool. thank you

My first 500 was in 1966 and it looks like there's been a vast change. We did it in a Minivan and had constant rain. Had to sleep in the Mini some nights and in the far North the road was just 2 strips of tarmac with grass growing in the middle of them. Long waits for ferries where there are now bridges and no trails for tourist attractions. For shelter from the rain we had to cook in a workman's hut at the side of the road not much bigger than a sentry box. The midges were awesome and woke up one morning to at least 10,000 on the inside of the car windscreen. A wipe with a towel left a arc of midge scum on the towel.

We did the nc 500 in may this year. We had our 7,9 year old son & daughter with us. I know all about overwhelming beauty. Kids look at that view. Yeah dad can we have another film on 😂 It’s a great route, we under estimated the time driving each day. We had to bribe the kids with stand up paddle boarding sessions at every beach or loch. Great video and trip

I would also recommend the Edinburgh Road trail, just so gloriously beautiful going off the motorway as one heads towards Edinburgh.

Brilliant video guys.. Beautiful place 👍 ps. .Ardnamurchan.. most westerly point in the British mainland. a must 🙂

Harriet and I (Jim) did the NC500 about six years ago. The stunning beauty of the terrain, the rushing water, It's larger than we expected. Some of hiking was a little sketchy. But overall, We totally recommend it. The vlog brought back nice memories. Sending you LoL . Harriet and Jim. Richmond, Va.

I’m a fairly new follower and have enjoyed seeing the US through your eyes. Now I’m traveling back a bit to follow you around Britain 🇬🇧❤. This post of your touring and hiking in Scotland is really interesting and lovely. I’ve been to England just a few times (not nearly enough!!!} and absolutely love everywhere I’ve visited (Cotswolds & Gloucestershire, Lake District, Hampshire), but Scotland is still on my to do list and your vlog shows just how I have imagined it! I so agree with Emma about feeling you’ve stepped into JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth! I’d be watching out for Bilbo and Gandalf and Aragorn and Frodo and Sam!

ah so, Bealach Na Ba in the next episode 😊 You’re covering some really great locations on the NC500. As a local I’m really enjoying it.

So true. We did several weeks with a 4 wheel and camper through the Canadian Rocky Mountains.. At the start you stop at every mountain and glacier and by the end we had had our fill of mountains with glaciers!.. But it was all spectacular. I so want to do west Scotland.. The geology is some of the best in the UK!
