I'm chelsea and that's James and here we are on the north coast
500 a road trip around the top of the Scottish highlands
As well as stunning views we've been staying in B&Bs all week
so in today's video we're waking up somewhere a little different...
Good morning from day four in our luxury shed
Glamping. It's a glamping pod. This morning,
I mean it's still pretty foggy but still nice to have my coffee out here
So we are just past Durness right now and today we'll be
traveling along the top, going to John O'Groats which is the
furthermost point of mainland UK, I do believe, and then
coming down the coast to Wick which is where we'll be staying tonight
It's time to get on the road but first, do you want to see what breakfast we've
got here? It's very exciting.
Oh my days
We enjoyed our Cocoa Pops but we would like a little something extra wouldn't
we? A little bit more filling, yeah, let's go find a cafe
I think we found a cafe. It's open. We've just realised it's cash only.
We ran out of money yesterday. Definitely worth
making sure you've always got some cash on you
a lot of places do take card but places like the zip wire all that kind of stuff
cash only. Fortunately we're at Betty Hill now, we just passed
the post office which will do cash back so
let's get some cash first.
Look what we've got - a Scottish tenner
it's very pretty got to make sure we spend them up because the UK -
England - are rubbish aren't they and not accepting Scottish ten pounds.
It's legal tender pow that's legal tender i've got phone
Pal, that's legal tender
I've got phone signal!
Absolutely smashed my bacon butty from
Betty Hill Cafe Didn't even film it but it was great
We're now walking across the car park through a field
to get to the Strathnaver Museum
Haunted Victorian baby
Noseless bust of Theresa May
A lady's boot
It's like a community museum
it's all volunteer-led and a lot of love and passion, locally created,
has gone into that museum. Because you've probably seen enough of us driving
especially in this fog, let's just get to the next place.
By far the biggest place we've seen
in ages. It's not gonna give you your Instagram shots let's say
but a very good place to stop if you need to like,
get a few things from the shops, get your petrol, get your cash out
and a lot of the cafes have wi-fi so it definitely has
its uses.
We are now going to done it because they have a
gin distillery, that's right, Scotland may be known for its whiskey and its scotch
but gin is on the up as well so it would be rude
not to do a little a little sample
This is the shop and this is where they make everything here in the distillery
Thank you
So there's nowhere to drink gin here
which we're a bit gutted about but we had a little taster. Basically that's
where they make the gin and then you've got the shop
however they do tours and a bit of like tastings twice a day
eleven and two but you should book and
i'll put the price here of it - I'll find out for you
We're at John O'Groats, we're at the tip of the uk
I feel like... Wonderful thanks
I feel like a borrower
a sandwich for a month
i don't know why i'm laughing mine's pretty bloody huge as well not quite as
big but um
David A Stevenson built it in 1924. It's only 11 meters high actually but
stands a massive 64 meters above sea level
and it's one of 200 lighthouses that cover the north coast of Scotland
Did you genuinely just remember that from reading that?
yes that's incredible
i've just nearly stacked it, it's quite slippy Oh come on we don't need to go
any further around here We do we're going to the stacks
What's that? I don't know but it's on my map
Is that a woah I hear? Look at how many birds there are!
This is what we came to see
Are these puffins? They're puffins Are they? Yeah!
Oh yeah They're so noisy
I didn't realise that there's stacks of
puffins down there and I really wanted to see some puffins
We're staying in a private room in an Airbnb tonight
which is the first time we've done this however
i'm really excited by it the reviews are amazing
It was also the cheapest option by far cost us just over £51 including
the Airbnb taxes and fees and it comes with breakfast. Now I wasn't
gonna mention this because i don't really like to put
a date on when we do these holidays mostly because
I'm so slow at editing
However, tonight is the semi-final where England are playing Croatia in the
World Cup. We are very much in Scotland right now
however we're gonna go watch it
This is the room it's really cute what do you think James?
It's nice for £51 pounds and we get a full cooked breakfast tomorrow don't we
What's that? A little note. "Welcome Chelsea and James, thank you for
booking your stay with us. aAll the best, hugs, Lisa and i hope England win tonight
and also look what we got yes Lisa, yes Lisa!
Right, I'm gonna sort out this and get ourselves to Wetherspoons
Trying to blend in and realise that I'm
dressed as the bloody England flag
you're joking we're being evacuated
James said that if England won would order
tequila. Since England have lost, we're gonna order double tequila
What a random night
England lost as you already know, rubbish, but we had a good night didn't we?
We went to some very local places
it was good though some guy stopped us to get in the club
and i was like who's this local? He quizzed us for about 10 minutes at least
Five minutes. Ten minutes. He was the bouncer
We've really enjoyed today. We definitely are noticing a difference in
the landscape, it's getting a lot flatter Yeah i think we'll see that even more
Thank you for watching this day. Tomorrow we're staying in a castle
We're at Dunrobin castle. I just made an arse of myself
oh my god
So thank you for watching

England were ever gonna make it. Okay, adieu to you and you and youuuu
Forget the bloody car, that's impressive love. Yes, yes!
