Thanks for your comment. I didn’t park at the gate I parked at the lay by, you can see that at the beginning of the video as I pass the wall where the river is on the bend. I don’t know who it was who parked at the gate at the end of the video but as you say, it is a bit irresponsible as emergency services may need access.

@@ColinM_UA-cam oh sorry, smart thinking. It is irresponsible but that is people for you. Hope you enjoyed your hike, it’s always a great day out! I was there for 6 hours hiking, doing photography and admiring the view with a friend. All I’d say for anyone planning on going is to wear appropriate footwear and bring clothing for cold and wet just incase as well as the necessities of water and snacks possibly even a picnic!

Yes, we enjoyed our hike, the weather & scenery were perfect!. Great advice there on what to take & wear, always be prepared for the unexpected!!

@@ColinM_UA-cam definitely, especially in Northern Ireland

Glad you liked the video!. If you like the Titanic, then Belfast is a must see destination with lots of titanic history.

@@ColinM_UA-cam thanks for the information sir 😊👍 you deserve more subscribers 💯💕

I think most people would come to that conclusion for a U-boat. It’s still cool to see a Russian boat from the Cold War era!.

It was the stern of the ship nearest to the gate with the stairs

@@ColinM_UA-cam Thank you for your prompt reply. Your answer makes sense given the raised area the dockworkers were standing on beneath the propellers. Thank you again!

A beautiful part of Ireland that I want to explore more!

Why limit yourself to just Scotland, when it is one of the U,K.’s best roads??

Approximately 30mins to 60mins, hope that helps.

Glad my videos helped you out! Hope you have a great time in Scotland 👍🏻

@margaretyerves2748 it’s a wonderful area with beautiful scenery & somewhere I want to explore more. Glad it brought back memories for you!

Sorry it annoys you, but you have a few choices. 1. Skip forward the video 2. Don’t watch it Thanks for your comment

It’s a great scenic drive for sure!

I didn’t know that she was brought up there, I would’ve mentioned it in the video had I known. One of the best weather forecasters in my opinion!!

You’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed the video!

@johnkerr1953 thanks for the high praise,i’m glad you enjoyed it!. The steam boat on Loch Katrine is on my bucket list for the future for sure!

@shooster5884 Thanks very much for the nice comments. Glad you enjoyed the walk & video too, it certainly has a lot of interesting history!

@robinroyponnaiyan9481 It takes 40minutes for the full cruise

@mervmac182 thank you, glad you enjoyed it!. Check out some of my other videos on the channel, that you might enjoy too!

@jackwatsonepic626 glad my video helped you out, enjoy!

Thanks👍 , From teeside 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻

Glad it brought back happy memories for you!. You must’ve seen the scenery in all weathers, in the 3 or 4 times you traveled along the road. Thanks for your comments.

@@ColinM_UA-cam For sure.Nothing beats coming through Glencoe with the sun going down and red and light and dark blue sky's at the end of the glen,and deer running about on the hills and fish jumping out the still lochs.Magic!Had a tear in my eye watching it.Thought I was too young to be a sentimental old fool.

@ianleishman6774 You paint a wonderful picture!. Nothing wrong with being sentimental, it’s amazing how a sight or even a smell can take you right back to a moment in time & evoke happy memories.

Nothing wrong with Fife either by the way. A wee run along to Anstruther for what are probably the best fish and chips ANYWHERE then round to St Andrews for ice-cream at Janetta's in South St.

@weepair2 Sounds lovely, there’s lots of great driving roads in Scotland for sure!

@grahamkitchen6650 thanks I’m very interested in all things Titanic (Titanorac), have you checked out my Titanic playlist, for my other videos? ua-cam.com/play/PLLJWOBbl8uQAcRM9_TUBtiO7ieODLZhsQ.html&si=ce09DObfghs7GLPf

Me too, so I will just do that Cheers 👍

Yes, that is a stunning road also

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ooh I can imagine, not really any alternative

Well, this Scot drives it regularly and it's still my favourite road, no matter what. Never fails to excite the senses 😍!

It gets my vote too!!

Glad you enjoyed it. Be sure to book early as the Jacobite can sell out quickly, especially the first class carriage. Scotland is a beautiful country, you will not be disappointed!!!

​@@ColinM_UA-cam 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it!

It’s an amazing place with views to die for!

Not a tourist trap, when you have a choice to go on it or not

I agree, the journey is famous worldwide & spectacular in its own right, but you can’t blame west coast railways for tapping into the Harry Potter franchise as it brings so many customers.

Thanks for the kind words, it’s much appreciated!. It’s my favourite place to visit on the north coast & took me several attempts to make the video as it’s 60 miles from where I live & the weather was either too windy for the drone or not sunny. I wanted a nice sunny day to show it at its best!!.

@thomasgraham5842 glad you enjoyed the video & that it brought back some memories for you!

Love a road trip, but it’s even better with the stunning Scottish scenery as a backdrop!!

Thanks for the comments & glad you enjoyed!. The video was made over two visits. The first visit was at the end of lockdown when the Giants Causeway was still closed, this was when I got the main drone footage. The second visit was more recent and comprised the walk to the Giants Causeway. I was unaware of the no drone flying there as I use an app to check no fly zones & it didn’t mention this on it. Also on both visits I never saw any signage to say no drone flying anywhere. Both of my visits were early morning so no people or very few were present. As the Giants Causeway was closed at the time of my first visit, it was perfect to film with no people around as you wouldn’t be able to film normally with people around due to drone regulations.

We would’ve loved to explore the area more and film the Jacobite from different locations but had very limited time. The Jacobite tickets usually go on sale in December I think & can sell out in days for the first class carriage. As you say, you can take a normal scotrail service & see the same sights, but the steam train is an exceptional experience!

The condemned had no idea that they were spending their final hours living next to the hangman’s noose.

@@ColinM_UA-cam Yes, they thought they were going down the corridor, across the yard to another part of the jail. Not 20 steps from their bed! Albert Pierrpoint's fastest execution was 7 seconds from entering the cell to pulling the lever on the trapdoor!

Thanks for your comment, I tried to find some music that I thought would sound like it would be used in an underwater scene from a film or documentary. 👍🏻

It’s old English word for jail. You can use either or, but in this instance I used it because that is how this experience uses it.

Thanks Luke, glad you enjoyed it! It’s always nice to see a steam train, even better when you’re not expecting it.

@@ColinM_UA-cam yes for sure, I had no idea the Scots Guardsman would be there when I was at Carlisle and it was the highlight of my day when I seen it. When I first seen it from a distance I was thinking it was the Flying Scotsman (I'm not into trains really and know little about them)

Glad you enjoyed it, it’s a breathtaking train ride. If you haven’t seen it, check out my glenfinnan viaduct walk video for a look at the viaduct & station. 👍🏻

It's not the "Hogwarts train". It's a scenic train journey that has been running since the 80s. It is nothing to do with Harry Potter.

@@leeosborne3793 I kinda figured! Although, isn’t it the train that was used as the Hogwarts Train in the movie? I always thought the train in the movie was fake/non-existing

@@lynnvc402 The locomotives and carriages used in the films are real vintage British ones, and the ones used on this train are similar. What I'm saying is that this train is not a Harry Potter tie-in or an official Harry Potter product. A lot of people seem to think it is.

West Coast Railways supplied the engine & carriages used in the Harry Potter films. The actual engine “Olton Hall” is on show at Warner Bros Studio Tour in London. West Coast Railways do promote it as the Hogwarts Express & even have a Harry Potter shop on the train. They’d be foolish not to capitalise on the film as it brings extra visitors to ride the steam train. It is also mention on their website “Hogwarts Express”.

No problem mate, I know how much you love cars!!

Thank you!

No, barbecues are not allowed. More information can be found on their website under terms & conditions.

It is very basic for sure!
