Bonnybridge. The unassuming little town in central-belt Scotland with an incredible claim to fame - it has the highest concentration of UFO sightings ANYWHERE on Earth. And let's be honest, driving through the Main Street, you'd never believe it. Join us as we pitch our tent right in the heart of town and brave something much more challenging than alien abductions - the Scottish weather in winter! Enjoy the video...

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)

I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is both my business model and a result of doing everything myself. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips! But more than anything else, it's about budgets. I generally need to film a number of videos on each trip to break even. And each one of these take a while to fall into place on a Saturday morning.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for YouTube Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

    why do people have to litter, if they can't find a bin just hold on to it till they do or take it home and dispose of it there, its not rocket science
  • Thanks, my wife and I had 49 years of similar adventures. She passed 5 years ago but watching you two brought a thousand memories to mind ! Thank you again.
  • @ColsScotland
    Excellent video :) Glad you pointed out about the people who leave stuff behind. I'm proud to be Scottish. I don't understand people who treat nature wrong. :(
  • "You said there was a zero percent chance of rain..." In Scotland. In March. Frankly if you believed her I think that's on you, Steve, sorry....
  • In 94. Me and my family were camping on shell island, Wales the UK. We had a BBQ and then it got to my daughters bed time, so i got them into their sleeping bags and went back to my family. On shell island at night, you have a perfect night sky.. No big cities or bright lights. We sat there admiring how beautiful the stars really are. Probably an hour or so later, this "star" starts moving weird. Remember this is over the Irish Sea. Ireland had no fast jets or anything fast at this time. It must of been hundreds of miles away because it was only double the size of a star. It moved from left to right in a second, then up and then back again. Then it traveled across the sky and did a 90 degree turn... and again, and then did it faster and faster. No human could survive this... As the "star" was moving two more lights appeared from below and me beaning young thought they were docking. But may be they were missiles fired at it because one flashed an the "star" moving it slightly an before the second could hit it shot up and faster than my eyes could see, gone.
  • Even if Bonnybridge isn’t that Bonny at the moment, Scotland in general has some of the finest scenery to be had anywhere in the world.
  • I grew up in the middle of the Falkirk triangle and it was always my contention that the reason Bonnybridge saw so many lights in the sky was (a) it was on the landing flight path for two mid sized international airports close by (b) it is right under a major transatlantic flight artery (Europe to western North America) so loads of high level air traffic passes above and (c) lots of military activity back in the day - aircraft used to pass through the area from the likes of RAF Leuchars (now gone). Just call me Sceptical Sam 😂

    Good to see Europe has their own Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. My father as a former member of the IB (Investigate Bonnybridge) informed me that the folks of Bonnybridge are some of the nicest people he had met and that despite the volume of litter and strange objects scattered around Bonnybridge no one could recall seeing anyone dropping any of that garbage. Also, the local council is on record as stating that despite extensive clean-up campaigns the detritus keeps on appearing. 😀😀😀This mystery requires Steve and Alicjia to investigate further.
  • Looking forward to this. Its a tradition in our house on a Saturday morning to sit down with bacon buns & watch Steve Marsh , its like catching up with an old friend. Keep up the great content Steve , we absolutely love your travel content & visiting so many quirky countries we'd never normally get to see.
  • You two had me in stitches. Alicia rocking her babushka look . So entertaining! The litter is out of control. Why do people think this is alright?
  • Aleicja you broke me up in the mask. You two have the greatest attitude and humour! That makes our Saturday morning!
  • I can’t help but smile when you say Bonnybridge. Reminds me of Stoneybridge from the comedy show ‘Absolutely’😝
  • @jaynorris3722
    I've been enjoying your videos so very much. The one where you met up in Poland and you told her you hated the train because it was taking her away from you, well that had to be the nicest thing I've heard anyone say to another person in a long long time. It was from the heart and it was real. Every time you look at her there is such love in your eyes. Thank you for being real, not phoney or soppy. Aleshia is a lucky lady.
  • @kevinh96
    Litter is a huge problem across the UK unfortunately. It's down to laziness of the people who always tend to think it's someone else job, councils no longer employing actual street cleaners in favour of those little trucks that miss half the litter, a lack of bins due to council cutbacks. It's also a lack of enforcement and fines as the police don't often enforce littering laws due to a lack of funding, meaning they have to prioritise other crimes instead of what they see as petty crime like littering and these days even shoplifting.
  • Steve Marsh goes on trips aw roon Europe and Scandinavia by himself gets haim and says Tae his lass I'm taking you somewhere special in the next trip, aye special brew
  • I remember going back a bit, The weather for weeks was consistent cloud. Then one fine day the sun came out?The sun had never been seen for so long that people thought it was a UFO.
  • @JamesTilsley1
    For some reason I found you wandering round a depressing Scottish town truly compelling.
  • Alicja's cameo at the start of the video was brilliant and hilarious, Mate! 😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
