  • Is that ex English Royal Navy pub landlord still there? The most ignorant bloke I have ever met in my life & I'm English. 

  • We went last summer and stayed on the camp site. The good news is that it's too b***** cold for the midges.

  • Affa bonnie!

    Gordon

  • oo6dartsoo6 - This was filmed in 1926 ffs. A lot has changed since then you know!

  • first part of this is not at john o groats this gate looks more like dunnet head light house there is no wall or gate in to john o groats

  • The Phrase like many a good Scotsman he knows the Value of a Half Crown. A Half Crown 2/6= is probably worth £ 15 or €20 in Todays Value. Another Sassanach willing to throw his Money away,I'll try and Whidle a bit more Money out a Him he must be saying. Great Video.

  • Superb footage of the north east Caithness.

  • What a wonderful clip! Truly a glimpse back into the past. Thanks for posting.

  • That 'old' man was probabaly 46!

  • Pity that it now looks like a dump with a hotel that needs to be demolished asap before someone gets killed. The Polish Tea Shop doesn't do much for Scotland either and having to pay 20p for a piss after going all the way there is disgraceful as is having to pay to have your photo taken by the official signpost. The place is now a mess and is getting worse. The only good thing is the burger bar as you actually get a good meal all be it outside and usually very wet.

  • Totally agree... Me and the Missus just did the trip up the East coast from Glesga to John O Groats, then back down the West Coast home... Rip off of the highest order. 20p for a piss and the ugliest motherfucker i have ever seen, a face like a warped beetroot trying to convince me to pay whatever the fuck it was to have my picture taken,... If your reading this you tramps wankstain,... It was me that smeared faeces on the cubicle wall and i hope you had to fucking clean it...

  • Great to see these priceless old sequences.

  • This kind of channel and such material is what YouTube was made for, in my opinion. Not for inane vlogs and people miming to pop. Many thanks for making this footage available so we can all understand our heritage better. :D
