So here we are. Glencoe. Scotland.
Hello. Welcome to Loch Lomond. Yeah we're at Duck Bay aren't we? Which is right at the beginning
of Loch Lomond. No, it's Rainy Bay. It is. It's not good weather at all. Yeah, it's a very gloomy drive up
unfortunately. So this is Scotland. Should have come in August really? We should have...
oh it is August! When you get a bright day, it's a cause for great celebration
and make the absolute best of it, but there's a lot this. Unfortunately. Yes.
Anyway we'll do our best. Loch Lomond.
Often considered the boundary between the Lowlands and Highlands of Scotland,
Lomond, a freshwater Loch is 22 miles long and 5 miles wide.
So there's this wooden stand here so that you can admire the views of the lake.
Can't really see them today unfortunately.
So we're driving on up to Glencoe, and it's got worse
This is a day to be cozy. We're thinking about getting the jumpers out.
As evening approached, the rain cleared, so he drove up to Fort William for dinner
and caught these stunning views over Loch Linnhe.
Hello. We're having a lovely evening. We are. The weather's really improved
suddenly hasn't it? It's not -10C! This is the Loch
we're staying in a pod overlooking, this lovely Loch. I don't know the name of this Loch.
But it's beautiful, and we're just sat looking at the waves.
Are there waves in a Loch? No. It must be so big that uh...
Yeah, it's like the sea!
New to me! But yeah, we're really hopeful for tomorrow now.
Fingers crossed.
So. Glencoe. The sun shining, I'm so happy. After yesterday, I thought that we're gonna have a
complete washout in Scotland up in the Highlands, but a little bit of patience, and look at this!
Hello. Welcome to Glencoe Scotland. Absolutely beautiful isn't it?
Stunning. Can't believe the views and we've got beautiful weather, fingers crossed today. We're
making the most of it. We're not pausing for too long anyway no no
It's really really sunny, it's absolutely amazing yeah, so come and see!
Formed by a volcanic eruption about 450 million years ago and further moulded by Ice Age glacier,
these stunning views have been admired for centuries.
So we're in the thick of Glencoe now aren't we? Absolutely beautiful.
It is amazing! I just can't believe my eyes. In-fact I'm slightly regretting using the word Glorious for an Oxfordshire village.
Exactly. This is unbelievably gorgeous. It's a little breezy. Yeah we've come up the mountain side slightly to
get better views. It's quite busy coming along the road but we've been fortunate that we've
found some quiet lay-bys haven't we? Yeah it's fine. Yeah, there no one else here,
I don't think in this spot. We're the only ones that climbed up a mountain. Yeah. No one else stupid enough!
It's wonderful. You've got to come and see. It is amazing!
If you are visiting Glencoe, be sure to allow a few days in case of rain or poor visibility.
So a lovely waterfall, just by the roadside. Exactly. I mean who could believe it really. I mean after
all those stunning views and suddenly we fall across this amazing waterfall.
You love waterfalls! I do! He loves a waterfall. Not as big as Niagara this one.... but nearly. Yeah we'll say it is!
Glencoe falls also known as the Meeting of the Three Waters,
best after heavy rainfall and stunning in the Autumn.
So do we know what this flag is Fay? No I don't think we do!
Something dreadful for all I know! We'll have to check that out. We will.
The Lion Rampant is the Royal Standard of Scottish Royalty, dating back to 1222.
The massacre of Glencoe is another shameful stain on British history.
