🚨NEW VIDEO 🚨
Glencoe in Scotland is one of the UK’s most incredible hiking routes… but with most visitors arriving into the Scottish Highlands by bus & train at Fort William, is it possible to reach Glencoe by bus & head out for a great hike before catching a bus back to Fort William?

Well, that’s exactly what I attempt in this video as I embark on a journey to tackle the Devil’s Staircase hike, which guides you to the West Highland Way’s highest point.

Watch the video at the link in bio now & comment below if you’d like to explore Glencoe too.

Milan’s San Siro - one of world football’s most iconic stadiums.

It serves as the home ground for both & .

Away from football, the stadium is set to host the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in 2026.

The stadium is easily reachable from Milan’s city centre using the No. 16 tram or the M5 metro line.

It’s been a big week in Glasgow as the oldest international football fixture took place between Scotland & England for the 116th time.

The friendly marked the anniversary of the first ever international football match which took place in 1872 at the West of Scotland Cricket Club where a Scotland eleven took on England.

In this week’s video I travel across Glasgow starting from where international football began passing Ibrox & Celtic Park before arriving at the current day home of Scottish football, Hampden Park.

Give it a watch to discover how Glasgow is undoubtedly a football city.
