Kingshouse Hotel (Glencoe, Scotland) 2021 : Review

The Visit

I have been here before, but it was a few years ago with a tour company and we only stopped just to see the deer.

Today me and a few friends were doing a wee Scottish drive, and I added here as a stop so they could see the deer and maybe stop for a drink or lunch.

The Food

Kingshouse Fish & Chips £17
Beer battered haddock, coleslaw, chunky fries

I am not a big fish and chips person, but I thought lets try something different.

On arrival this was a BIG portion, and it looked really really good….time to taste.

I started with the chips, these were very nice and had a nice slight crunch to them.

Now to the fish, ohhh this was very fresh, the batter was perfect and had a lovely texture to it….all in all it was very very tasty and highly recommended.

My Rating:

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Blueberry Smash Mocktail £4.00
Blueberries, honey syrup, lime juice & fresh rosemary

Today I was the driver, so I had to be a good boy and not drink any beers etc

I have actually cut back on a lot of alcoholic drinks since last year, mostly due to driving more and watching the wallet.

This was really tasty, very sweet and refreshing which was perfect after my long drive.

My first tandem Skydive at Skydive St Andrews 2021

The Visit

I am not a big fan of heights, but its something I have always wanted to do. I don’t know why, but something about it looked amazing even though I knew I would be mega high up.

This was a gift, and I knew the person who got me it would want me to use it….plus I REALLY wanted to to do it and have done for a long time.

Thanks to Scottish weather I have visited here 7 times before this video and unfortunately it was cancelled, but today they called me to say they had a free slot and I jumped at the offer…no pun intended.

This was better and different to what I had in my mind, and please do persist if you book as its 100000% worth it. The strange part was, I didn’t feel scared just excited and couldn’t wait to do it.

The free fall is the best part, its something you cant really explain you just have to experience. Then whoosh your floating up and back down to the ground….it goes from one extreme to the other and you don’t appreciate how good it is till your down and processing what’s just happened.

Unfortunately, the original music used I have had to take out due to Youtube copyright issues, but I can tell you George did a REALLY good job with my video I am VERY pleased with it.

Skydive Video was edited by George (Skydive St Andrews) and my tandem buddy was Łukasz.

I will 1000% be booking a second jump so keep watching for that video when I do 🙂

I highly recommend you check out Skydive St Andrews, everyone was very professional and very nice.

See you soon guys for my second dive!!!

4 Documents You Should Have With You When Immigrating

If you are planning on immigrating there are some important documents that you need to keep with you in order to make things go smoothly. 

Leaving these documents behind can cause a host of problems when you arrive at your new destination. It is best to be prepared and pack these documents in a safe place ahead of time, moving to a new country is stressful and the last thing you need to be is worried about not having the correct paperwork. 

With that being said, here are some documents you should ensure that you have when you are immigrating to a new country.

Medical Records

It is important that you take medical records with you when moving to a new country. You never know when you might become sick. 

Your medical records will allow the doctors in your new country to assess your past health history and your immunization records. 

Remember that a record of their immunization is often required for enrolling your child in school in a new country. You may also be required to show these before you can start a new job.

Birth Certificate

You will need to ensure that you have an original copy of your birth certificate when you are moving to a new country. Your birth certificate is an official document that will identify you, your place of birth and your parents.

If you cannot find your birth certificate. You may want to apply for a brand new copy before traveling.

School Records

If you have children, it is important for you to ensure that you take their school records along with you when moving to an international destination

When moving to a new country your child will probably need transcripts of their grades and test scores from your homeland. They may need recommendations from their teachers as well. 

As mentioned before, you will need to present their immunization record.

Marriage Certificate

You may not think much about it at first but for immigration purposes, you may need to prove that your spouse is who they say they are when you arrive in your new country. Your immigration solicitors may also need it in case problems arise.

The best and least complicated way to do this is through a marriage certificate. You may need it to help your spouse secure a job, become a citizen, or for tax purposes in your new country.

Take Care of Your Documents

One of the things you need to do while traveling is to ensure that you are securing these documents the right way. 

Make sure that you put them in waterproof packaging and place them in your carry-on luggage. You should also make several copies of them to take with you. 

Once you are in a new country you also need to be vigilant and ensure that you safeguard these documents. With all the hustle and bustle that comes with moving, things can get lost in the process.

Prevent this from happening by establishing a secure location for the documents as soon as you move into your new home.
