  • Scottish bagpipes playing. Edinburgh

  • Edinburgh Edinburgh

  • Edinburgh So we still don't quite know how to pronounce

  • the name of the city. As a Canadian, I would be saying Edinburgh but I keep hearing the

  • locals saying Edinburgh, so that's what we are going to go with for the rest of our videos.

  • Well, as you can probably tell we're not in Kansas anymore and by Kansas I mean Chiang

  • Mai, Thailand. Look at what we're wearing. In our winter clothes. Today we're exploring

  • Edinburgh for the first time. This is our first impressions video.

  • Background music playing. The views of the castle are phenomenal from

  • here. It's time to go climb up for an even better vantage point.

  • And to get there we're going to Granny's Green steps.

  • Background music playing. Screw this hat. I've got myself a proper Scottish

  • winter trapper. More like I've inherited his hat.

  • Background music playing. I'm feeling the Christmas spirit here in Edinburgh.

  • Background music playing. To go on the Ferris Wheel it's going to be

  • a ten minute ride and hopefully we'll some nice views of the city.

  • And we are moving. Woo hoo! And we're only half way there. We're going

  • to even go higher up. Are you scared? Yes, and we're not even at the top yet.

  • We don't like heights at all. We're probably using up all of our courage points doing this.

  • Oh, yes. All for the viewers right? Background music playing.

  • Well there has been a lot of ginger sightings here in Edinburgh. I fit right in.

  • Background music playing.

  • Background music playing. So today we're going to be doing a tour with

  • Haggis Adventures. We're up in the Scottish Highlands and we're going to be visiting some

  • of the main sites around this area. Background music playing.

  • Every time I come here I always get really emotional. I can't explain it. It's a place

  • that is very very close to my heart. This is the battlefield. No jokes. No humor.

  • Guys. This is a massive war grave where my ancestors and other people's ancestors died

  • needlessly. So, just respect it guys. As you're making your way through here. It's the same

  • as if you go over to Europe and you go to these Second World War places. Just utmost

  • total respect. Background music playing.

  • A big massive shield and a big ginger beard. And long hair. Quite intimidating, eh?

  • Boom. Five of you guys have just been disemboweled. Now you guys over here boomfff. I probably

  • just slit through your jugulars. So with one man I could have taken out eight red coat

  • soldiers. That's why the Highlanders were known.

  • The people come here. They sing songs. They tell stories. And they remember. If you guys

  • were to come here just after the 16th of April all the way around this would be five hours

  • and things like that. On the anniversary of the battle during the day they bring a little

  • piper out who is actually blind. And they bring him up here and he stands here for forty

  • five minutes and he plays songs on the bagpipes for forty five minutes. The length that the

  • battle lasted for. And I dare any of you to come and stand next to him and not cry because

  • I did and it is just such an emotional thing. There is just silence and all you can hear

  • is the pipes just playing through and you're just looking around you can just imagine it

  • happening. And it does really really tug on your heart strings because war is such a terrible

  • thing and one thing is guaranteed with war is death. Death and destruction. really really

  • sad. These flags here. The three lions represent

  • the connection to England. fleur de lis a connection to France. And the flower is the

  • connection to Ireland. I think it's quite cool. So this is the Royal standard of King

  • James. If I had to stand here in this battle field 250 years ago and I was flying this

  • flag I would have been taken for treason and hung and killed. This is pretty cool actually.

  • And another interesting thing that one of the Jacobite generals did. If I had saw this

  • being a Jacobite soldier this would have inspired me to have courage and morale. He actually

  • led a charge into the front line against the British government army. Snapped his sword

  • in two, lost his horse. Came back out of the front line of the British government army.

  • Got another sword, go another horse and led a second charge in. Now to me that's balls.

  • If I had of been there and I saw one of my generals acting like that I'd have been YEAH!

  • Come on let's go! He's also the patron Saint of Russia and he's

  • the patron saint of Greece as well. So he's not just exclusive to Scotland. This flag

  • is very important as well. Background music playing.

  • clava cairns. Pffff. There isn't actually much to say about this place because it's

  • a mystery. You still have people coming here in the winter solstice with professor suits

  • on and they all argue with one another basically. Eh, these chambers are older than the Pyramids.

  • They were built by teenagers because the life expectancy back then would have only been

  • about 30 years old. So these tombs were built by teenagers. Now you might have had a dome

  • coming over the top as well. And as you can see the sun is actually just setting right

  • over there. And I believe it's either in the summer solstice or the winter solstice that

  • the sun actually sets in alignment here and the sun beam comes right down in this chamber

  • and there would have been a fire and smoke and all of us would have been sitting in here.

  • So image that beam of light coming in and all of this room started filling up with a

  • smoke and light and things like that. Very very very spiritual.

  • People who come here. If they take any of these rocks from these cairns and take it

  • back to whatever it is they are from bad things happen to them. So much so people actually

  • come back here and replaced the rocks. So there is your disclaimer guys. Don't take

  • any of the rocks. Hahaha. Don't go on facebook. Dave my arms is falling off! I did tell you

  • not to take the rocks. Hahaha! You have been warned.

  • Background music playing.

  • Background music playing. After the rising you had 1719. Spain and England

  • are shall we say had an alliance with one another and voided that alliance, so Spain

  • decided to play the Jacobite card. They spent 300 of their crack Spanish mountain troops

  • to help the highlanders. Thank you very much Spain! Woo! They went down to the eilendon

  • castle which is where I'll be taking you shortly. Unfortunately, for the Scots and the Spanish

  • we were defeated, so it was another failure and arising. Thanks for trying to help us

  • guys. Hahaha. So it's quite crazy to think guys that there were was actually Spanish

  • soldiers fighting here. That's why we've said about Jacobitism being part of Scotland. As

  • I said, Bonnie Prince Charlie was offered to become King of America, so an International

  • dimension as well. What a beautiful place for a battle guys. What a beautiful place

  • for a battle. Background music playing.

  • Wind blowing. So today is day two of our tour of the Scottish

  • Highlands. The blue skies are gone and it is rainy, cold and the weather is just very

  • Scottish and dramatic. So our first stop of the day is eilean donan castle and that's

  • just right behind us. Brrrr. When I'm cold you know it's really cold. Oh yeah! Bone chilling,

  • wet and damp right now. Background music playing.

  • Aside from just the impressive Castle there is also wonderful views here.

  • Background music playing. Wind blowing.

  • SO we've just been warming up in a pub right now. It is really cold, damp, wet and windy

  • outside, so we've got tea for two and we've ordered some traditional pub fare.

  • Background music playing. I actually quite like the damp and the rain

  • because it reminds me so much of home where I grew up on Vancouver Island.

  • background music playing. It is super windy. Our guide Dave this is

  • the windiest he's ever seen it here. I bet you can barely hear me right now.

  • Wind noises. Background music playing.

  • Background music playing. Today is day three of our Haggis Tour adventure

  • and we've had all kinds of weather. On day one it was pristine conditions - sunny blue

  • skies and day two was insane. Howling winds, rain, chilly and today we have a nice overcast

  • day. And we've got great views from the back of the mountains.

  • So the snowy peak we have over in the background is Ben Nevis and it is the highest peak in

  • the UK. It's a real treat that we can see it today.

  • Background music playing. So here is inverlochy castle which dates back

  • to the. So we've just been wandering around the ruins and seeing what is left of it even

  • now. Background music playing.

  • And just behind us we have the three sisters. There is not much explaining to do the scenery

  • speaks for itself. Background music playing.

  • So we're visiting the William Wallace Memorial. Fans of Brave Heart will certainly know who

  • this is. What was interesting was that our guide actually told us that many of the scenes

  • in Brave Heart were actually historically inaccurate.

  • Background music playing.

  • Background music playing. It's our first meal in Scotland, so we've

  • decided to go with something very typical. We're going to be eating the National dish,

  • which is Haggis. So let's go into Whisky Room. So today's meal is all about Haggis. We are

  • starting with Haggis spring rolls. So let's see what those are like. We've had a lot of

  • spring rolls lately in Thailand, Vietnam and other places in SE Asia. Mmmmmm. Never Haggis.

  • And it's also the first time trying haggis. Oh, so hot! Is it hot? Mmmmmm. I'm pleasantly

  • surprised. Oh, yeah. Haggis is good people! Those are hot. Mmmmmm. Wow, so many flavors.

  • It's delicious. I think I've found myself my new favorite spring roll. Haggis spring

  • rolls. Background my playing.

  • So for those of you who aren't familiar with Haggis it's a savory pudding made with sheep's

  • pluck. And that means a sheep's heart, liver and lungs. And if that doesn't sound appetizing

  • enough it's wrapped in the sheep's stomach and it also includes spices and some oats

  • and onions. So that's what we're going to be trying.

  • Background music playing. It's time to cover this bad boy in some gravy.

  • Oh my, oh my. Look at that. So Haggis is served with neeps and tatties,

  • which is basically turnips and potatoes. First bite. So I've got lots of haggis here. Neeps

  • and tatties. Lots of gravy. The verdict. It's awesome. Yeah. That's not

  • an acquired taste. I love it on the very first bite.

  • Do you like it as much as I do? It's a really nice rich winter dish. And like

  • normally I don't like organs. I've had liver before and it has a very strong flavor but

  • somehow when it's all mixed together and they add spices and the gravy it's perfect. I like

  • it. I like haggis! And it's a cold day today so I'm trying something

  • else very Scottish here. It's a nice warm drink. It's called a Hot Toddy. It's got hot

  • water, whisky, lemon and honey. And that sounds good to me. Take a sip. Oh yeah. It goes down

  • nice. Okay, First sip of the Hot Toddy. I'm not

  • I've ever even tried this whiskey. So let's how it is in a hot drink.

  • Ooooh. It's nice. It really warms you up but it's not a strong and overpowering as I thought

  • it would be. This is nice. And it's also very aromatic because they've put some cloves along

  • with the lemon. Like Christmas. So far you're liking Scottish

  • food. Yeah. Background music playing.

  • Background music playing. What's your name? Sam. Sam how you doing man?

  • We're doing a deep-fried snickers, a Twix and we've already done a Mars bar already.

  • Awesome. I'm going to unwrap it. Stick it in the batter. I can't tell you that because

  • it's my secret. Hahaha...secret recipe? Of course. The Twix. One. Two. Mix it around.

  • Give it a little shake. And there it goes. Ah, that looks good. Now for the Twix. Here

  • is the Twix. There you go. How long do you put them in there? Emmmm, we just keep it

  • about...2 or 3 minutes. We fry them separately. This is just for the Mars bars. Mars bars

  • only. Awesome. So the temperature. This is 170 degrees. And while the batter cooks the

  • chocolate will melt. So the batter will cook before the chocolate. Ahhh, perfect. That's

  • so cool. So we've been hearing lots about the Mars

  • bars but Sam here went overboard and tried three different chocolate bars that have been

  • deep fried. So what do you have? Well, at the recommendation of the guy at the chip

  • shop. He recommended I also try the Snickers and the Twix bar, so we've got it all right

  • here. Let's unwrap that. I don't want to drop it here. Okay. Let's see that thing of beauty.

  • Isn't that gorgeous. Alright, so which is which? So I believe this is the Snickers.

  • We've got the two Twixes here and that is the Mars bar. Alright. And you're feeling

  • a little queasy today, so I'm going to be the one trying them all. Yes, you are. Enjoy!

  • So first up. And you can tell they really feel as though they've been deep-fried and

  • melted. This is flimsy in the hand. Ewww. Yeah, this is a Mars bar. I can tell from

  • what is seeping out. Take a bite. Oh, Wow. That is so much better than just having it

  • on its own. It's all melted inside. It's gooey. And you've got the crispiness from the batter

  • on the outside. Mmmmmm. One more bite. Next up Twix. Next up we have the Twix. This one

  • is a little longer. Oh yeah. Is it still crunchy? Yeah, it's still crunchy on the inside. You

  • can see this. All the chocolate has melted on the outside. It's just so much better than

  • having it normally. And the best for last. Best for last. My favorite

  • of all these bars is the Snickers, so I have high expectations for the deep-fried version

  • here. The battered version. Oh yeah. It just melts. All caramel and chocolate inside and

  • the peanuts. Oh,. Let's see the inside of it? That is amazing.

  • Okay, so you've tried all three. Which was our favorite? Definitely the Snickers. Why?

  • Because I love Snickers bars and this just enhanced it. So, it's not surprising that

  • taking something that is already unhealthy and making it even unhealthier would make

  • it taste better.

  • Music playing. So this afternoon we are going to be doing

  • a little bit of a taste test. So we've raided a Scottish supermarket and picked out some

  • items that we thought looked very local. So we're going to try those and see what they're

  • like. Yeah, overall we've got five different things. Two beverages and three things to

  • eat. So first up I'm going to be trying something

  • called Irn Bru and apparently after Whisky this is Scotland's second national drink and

  • it looks like a regular fizzy drink. It kind of looks like it could be orange flavored

  • but I hear it's just sweet and doesn't really taste like fruit. Oh, I'm going to need help

  • opening this. Hahahaha Rawwwr. Thank you kindly.

  • So it smells very sweet and sugary. It doesn't smell like orange.

  • Hahaha. It's a bit like cream soda maybe. It's just

  • really really sweet. Like sweeter than Pepsi or 7Up. Oh yeah?

  • Yeah, it reminds me a lot of cream soda as well. Which isn't my favorite beverage, so

  • overall I don't think I'm going to be an Irn Bru man anytime soon.

  • Next up we've got Mackie's of Scotland's Haggis and cracked black pepper flavored chips or

  • crisps as they like to call them here. Right, exactly. Chips here would be referring to

  • like french fries, so we're going to call these crisps. Let's open it up here. It's

  • going to be like Kettle style chips. Crisps, I mean. Kettle style crisps. Let's try this.

  • You can tell that has a smokey flavor. Can you taste the Haggis? Ummmm, yeah, kind

  • of but I mean it has more of a an all dressed smokey flavor in my opinion. I do like them.

  • Why won't you be trying any of those delectable crisps? Well, I got really sick shortly after

  • eating Haggis, so just the name, just the sound of Haggis kind of makes my stomach turn

  • a little bit, so I'm staying away from haggis flavored chips this time around, which is

  • good for me because I get to eat them all. I like them. Good.

  • And what do we have here? Next up we have Crabbie's. Here in the back it says that it

  • is best served chilled with ice and lemon but we have neither of those. Room temperature?

  • And actually we don't even know if this is Scottish or not but I think so. Let's assume.

  • It says following in the pioneering footsteps of the first Scots. Well, there we go. And

  • what is it? I think it's a Ginger beer isn't it? Ginger beer, okay. With alcohol.

  • Hmmmmm, what does that mean? Ginger beer. Hahahaha. That's exactly what is is. It tastes

  • very gingery? Yes, I don't love beer, so I'm not going to say I love it but it's a nice

  • smell. It smells like ginger tea. Tell me how you like it?

  • Oh yeah, I like that a lot. It's got a very. It's quite sweet. I mean normally beer doesn't

  • have this sweet of a taste, so this is a nice refreshing beverage. Refreshing at room temperature.

  • True. And we've got Butterscotch chocolate. Let's

  • give it a go. Hahaha, that's upside down but that's okay.

  • Let's try a piece of this. Mmmmmm. Oh wow! Oh yeah, you really taste the butterscotch.

  • It's creamy and sweet and delicious. Is this milk chocolate or is it dark bitter

  • chocolate? No, it's really sweet. You'll love it. It kind of reminds me of Dulce de Leche. Dulce de Leche

  • chocolate huh? Like it then? Yeah. I do like it. I mean normally organic chocolate isn't

  • that great in my opinion because it's a little bitter. A bit too natural for me. But this

  • is quite nice. She takes another bite. Nice and sweet. It's creamy.

  • Shortbread cookies. This is Christmas in a tin. Mmmm, smells like Christmas? Oooooh,

  • those look good. I can tell I'm going to like this. Nice big thick cookies. Crispy? Not

  • crispy. Just crunchy Christmas cookies, you know? Mmmmmm. Going to share those? Maybe.

  • You know this would make a really souvenir people. If you're visiting Scotland get Scottish

  • shortbread. Those are real good. It reminds me of my Mom's

  • shortbread cookies. She used to make for me for Christmas and I would eat a lot of those.

  • And last but not least we have tablet, which is a sweet treat that everyone has been talking

  • about. And this is what I'm most looking forward to having. This is supposed to be very much

  • like fudge and so I can't wait to try it. This one is whisky flavored. Mmmmm....mmmm.

  • Oh yeah! So I'm just going to go at this like it's

  • a chocolate bar. Just bite right in. Smells good. Oh, wow. That is really really really

  • sweet. Is it soft, crunchy, gooey, chewy? It's a little. I wouldn't call it crunch.

  • It kind of crumbles in your mouth and yeah I can taste a hint of the whisky. I mean it's

  • not overpowering. It's more sweet than anything else but there is definitely a hint of whisky.

  • It smells like cheese. Take a bite. That's the smallest nibble ever. Okay, it's sweet

  • when you taste it but it smells like cheese. I'm not kidding. Is that the whisky smell?

  • Could be yeah. Do you like the taste though? Yes. Even though I'm just nibbling at it.

  • I'm like grazing it with my teeth. It does taste nice. Very sweet. The smell? Mmmmm-ooooh.

  • The smell doesn't do it for you? It gets a nay from me.

  • Okay, so favorites. What was the best thing you ate? I really liked the tablet and the

  • ginger beer the most. Why? Well, I just love to eat fudge and I like to drink beer - especially

  • anything with ginger in it. Gingery beers....mmmmm. Okay, so my favorite I would say was the shortbread

  • cookies. Those were really nice. It reminds me of Christmas and least favorite I'd have

  • to say the tablet just because it smelled really bad. I'm sure regular tablet is great

  • but the Whisky flavored one I'm telling you it smells like cheese. Like go buy a pack

  • and sniff that and come back to me. And I think the thing we both didn't like was the

  • Irn Bru. Yeah, it's a bit too sweet but not terrible. I didn't like it at all. That was

  • my least favorite by far. Anyways, so yeah when you come to Scotland try out these products

  • and try out other things and let us know what you think. And if you have any suggestions

  • of things that we should try while we're here in Edinburgh just leave it in the comments

  • below. I think tomorrow we're going to be hunting for some deep-fried pizza. Number

  • one goal. Yeah, we just had the deep-fried chocolate bars today so. Okay, tootles. Bye.

  • Arrrrggghhhhh! Hahaha So this morning we are at the Loony Dook and

  • it's a bit of tradition here in Scotland that the day of New Years people jump into the

  • freezing waters of the Firth of Forth and it's all to raise money for charity, so we're

  • going to watch them do that. Are you going to do it? No way!

  • Cheering. More cheering.

  • Hahahaha! Yeeaaaah!

  • Yeeeeeaaaah! So there is a man wrapped up in bubble wrap

  • that nearly floated away. The rescue team picked him up in the water.

  • So that was one of the coolest, craziest and I must say zaniest events I've ever seen.

  • I'm glad that I was behind the lens and didn't go into the water. Everyone looks freezing

  • cold right now.
