Welcome to my brand new road trip series where this Scottish Guy takes America once again, and for the first time ever I'm in Savannah, Georgia. In this video I'm sharing my first impressions!
So people have been asking me this for over two years now, and I understand why. Over two years ago now, I made some videos about the new house my folks had bought in the highlands, with promises of updates. But then the whole project ground to a halt, for various different boring reasons. And progress has been slow. But finally, two years later, here's an update on my parent's home up in the Scottish highlands. And it's still not done! Maybe i'll update you in two years from now with a fully completed house, but i doubt it!

New York holds a special place in my heart for many reasons - itβs the first place in the US I really got to know, but it surprises me every time.
Just like your favourite beach, NYC changes with the tides.
And going to the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time is always a special experience.
The Brooklyn Bridge, an architectural marvel and a symbol of innovation, stands as one of the oldest roadway bridges in the United States. Its construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1883, connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn across the East River. Designed by John A. Roebling, the bridge was a pioneering feat of engineering, being the first to use steel for cable wire, and it introduced the use of pneumatic caissons for the towers. Tragically, Roebling died from an accident related to the bridgeβs construction, and his son, Washington Roebling, took over the project. Despite facing numerous challenges, including the bends, which affected workers operating under high pressure within the caissons, and Washington himself becoming incapacitated, the project pressed on under the guidance of his wife, Emily Warren Roebling. Upon its completion, the Brooklyn Bridge was the worldβs longest suspension bridge, celebrated for its beautiful Gothic arches and cable design. It quickly became an iconic part of New York Cityβs skyline, serving not just as a vital transportation link but also as a symbol of resilience and human ingenuity.

We visit the Glenfinnan viaduct, also known as the Harry Potter Bridge, where the Harry Potter steam train crosses over. Our friend @julianamaltablog is a long-time Harry Potter fan and was happy to see it up close.

Boone Hall Plantation, located in Charleston, South Carolina, stands as a living testament to the region's rich and complex history. Established in 1681, Boone Hall is one of America's oldest working plantations, with a lineage spanning centuries. The plantation's picturesque entrance, framed by a canopy of moss-draped live oak trees, is iconic and immediately transports visitors to a bygone era. Renowned for its beautifully preserved antebellum architecture, Boone Hall's main house reflects the grandeur of Southern plantation life. The expansive grounds also include slave cabins, offering a poignant reminder of the enslaved individuals who played an integral role in the plantation's history. Beyond its historical significance, Boone Hall is celebrated for its vibrant gardens, featuring blooming flowers and meticulously maintained landscapes. Guided tours provide visitors with insights into the plantation's past, from its role in agriculture to its cultural impact on the Lowcountry. Boone Hall Plantation stands as a captivating destination that invites exploration into the complexities of Southern heritage and the enduring legacy of the plantation era.

In today's video, I am kicking off a brand new series travelling the American South, starting in Nashville Tennessee - and on our first night we arrived at the hotel and wen't directly to Hattie B's to try their famous Nashville Hot Chicken to see what the fuss is all about.
We are in the music city of Nashville for a few days and looking forward to the other things we'll get up to in the city.
In this video, we discuss some differences in American and British word pronunciations.

In this video, I look at some of my first impressions, and weird things i noticed as differences between the East and West coast of America. Some of these will be quite light hearted as I have a lot more to explore, but these were some thoughts after I explored the west coast from Seattle all the way down to Los Angeles, and East coast from New York all the way down to Key West.
