[Eugene Levy]
They say to travel is to live.
3
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:16,434
Well, maybe, if a day at the airport
doesn't suck the life out of you first.
4
00:00:19,354 --> 00:00:23,149
I mean, where else would you be told
to arrive two hours early...
5
00:00:23,149 --> 00:00:26,278
- [metal detector beeping]
- ...only to become dangerously close
6
00:00:26,278 --> 00:00:28,863
to being two hours late?
7
00:00:29,364 --> 00:00:33,410
Still, I think my travels last year
were good for me.
8
00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:35,912
They seemed to broaden my outlook.
9
00:00:36,580 --> 00:00:38,039
To a degree.
10
00:00:38,665 --> 00:00:42,794
So now, I'm taking on
what is apparently a must-do
11
00:00:42,794 --> 00:00:45,380
for any respectable traveler.
12
00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:46,882
[intercom chiming]
13
00:00:47,507 --> 00:00:49,134
I'm doing Europe.
14
00:00:50,844 --> 00:00:52,762
All right. Where are we, exactly?
15
00:00:54,347 --> 00:00:56,600
I'm going all continental...
16
00:00:58,393 --> 00:01:01,521
from the very top to the very bottom.
17
00:01:01,521 --> 00:01:06,818
I'm heading off the beaten track
to discover some real hidden gems...
18
00:01:06,818 --> 00:01:08,111
Are you getting this?
19
00:01:08,695 --> 00:01:12,657
...and embrace
this budding spirit for adventure.
20
00:01:12,657 --> 00:01:14,159
Look at me. No hands.
21
00:01:14,743 --> 00:01:15,827
Oh.
22
00:01:15,827 --> 00:01:17,954
They're right here. What is this, the bow?
23
00:01:19,247 --> 00:01:21,958
I'll be educating my taste buds...
24
00:01:21,958 --> 00:01:24,377
- [laughs]
- Wow, that was so good.
25
00:01:24,377 --> 00:01:25,921
[whistles] Grapes are ready.
26
00:01:27,005 --> 00:01:29,841
- ...and trying to live like a local.
- [dancers singing, cheering]
27
00:01:29,841 --> 00:01:32,302
- Welcome to my village.
- [laughs]
28
00:01:32,302 --> 00:01:34,930
- [Levy] This is insane.
- [sheep bleating]
29
00:01:34,930 --> 00:01:37,057
I just saved your life. Remember me.
30
00:01:37,057 --> 00:01:40,101
I'm packing any worries in my luggage...
31
00:01:40,101 --> 00:01:41,519
[imitates moose call]
32
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:43,021
Here they come. Here they come.
33
00:01:43,021 --> 00:01:45,899
You never know what the body's gonna do
when it's in abject terror.
34
00:01:45,899 --> 00:01:49,444
I don't think I've done anything
quite like this since I was a kid.
35
00:01:49,444 --> 00:01:52,447
- [cheering]
- ...and I'm about to utter three words
36
00:01:52,447 --> 00:01:54,241
I've never said before.
37
00:01:55,116 --> 00:01:56,326
Ready for takeoff.
38
00:02:06,503 --> 00:02:10,632
If Sweden taught me more than I thought
I'd ever know about mosquitoes...
39
00:02:10,632 --> 00:02:11,591
[lowing]
40
00:02:13,134 --> 00:02:16,263
...I'm hoping this next stop
on my European travels
41
00:02:16,263 --> 00:02:19,599
can teach me even more about me.
42
00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:24,771
Scotland is my mother country,
or should I say my mother's country.
43
00:02:25,272 --> 00:02:29,901
My mother was born in Scotland
and lived here till she was 13.
44
00:02:30,443 --> 00:02:32,571
This is my very first trip.
45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,583
And it's not just my family
with close connections to Scotland.
46
00:02:44,583 --> 00:02:49,462
{\an8}The family that's been coming back here
time and time again is the Windsors.
47
00:02:49,462 --> 00:02:51,548
The British royals.
48
00:02:53,592 --> 00:03:00,557
From Queen Victoria
to Queen Elizabeth II and now Eugene I.
49
00:03:00,557 --> 00:03:01,766
[horn honks]
50
00:03:02,934 --> 00:03:04,185
Thank you very much.
51
00:03:04,686 --> 00:03:10,442
{\an8}They say it's better late than never
and at the age of 76, I'm living proof,
52
00:03:10,442 --> 00:03:13,778
{\an8}as I've traveled nearly
a thousand miles from Sweden
53
00:03:13,778 --> 00:03:19,993
{\an8}to the far North of Great Britain to
touch my family tree in bonnie Scotland.
54
00:03:23,538 --> 00:03:28,293
My journey of self-discovery starts in
the place where the late Queen Elizabeth
55
00:03:28,293 --> 00:03:30,587
chose to spend her final days.
56
00:03:31,087 --> 00:03:32,380
The Highlands.
57
00:03:32,380 --> 00:03:36,885
I can kind of see why this would be a
place for them to escape to.
58
00:03:36,885 --> 00:03:38,470
Quite beautiful.
59
00:03:39,179 --> 00:03:40,513
And vast.
60
00:03:41,723 --> 00:03:45,769
The Highlands is home to roughly
10,000 square miles of stunning,
61
00:03:45,769 --> 00:03:48,021
if somewhat rugged scenery.
62
00:03:48,730 --> 00:03:52,984
[laughs] All right. Where are we, exactly?
63
00:03:52,984 --> 00:03:58,823
If I'm staying in a tent in Scotland,
this could be the last episode.
64
00:04:01,451 --> 00:04:03,495
My mum grew up in Glasgow.
65
00:04:03,495 --> 00:04:06,456
You know, there was a difference
in lifestyles, I think,
66
00:04:06,456 --> 00:04:09,584
between my mum's Scotland
67
00:04:09,584 --> 00:04:14,089
and, uh, the, uh,
Scotland of the Windsors.
68
00:04:14,089 --> 00:04:15,632
[drumming, skirling]
69
00:04:15,632 --> 00:04:18,593
I'm planning a pilgrimage back to Glasgow,
70
00:04:18,593 --> 00:04:22,472
but here in the Highlands,
I'll be staying in a pad that looks...
71
00:04:22,472 --> 00:04:24,975
[chuckles]
72
00:04:24,975 --> 00:04:27,894
...and sounds fit for a king.
73
00:04:27,894 --> 00:04:29,396
[chuckles]
74
00:04:32,274 --> 00:04:33,567
[chuckles]
75
00:04:38,196 --> 00:04:43,034
Welcome to Scotland. I'm Lynne.
I'm the owner of Candacraig House.
76
00:04:43,034 --> 00:04:46,204
Well, thank you.
This is what I call a welcome.
77
00:04:46,204 --> 00:04:47,664
[Lynne chuckles] Can I show you inside?
78
00:04:47,664 --> 00:04:49,457
- [Levy] I would love to see inside.
- [Lynne] Okay.
79
00:04:49,457 --> 00:04:50,375
[Levy] Yes.
80
00:04:54,254 --> 00:04:56,798
Candacraig is a luxury Highland estate
81
00:04:56,798 --> 00:04:59,134
dating back to the 17th century,
82
00:04:59,634 --> 00:05:03,346
which makes it
around 200 years older than Canada.
83
00:05:04,306 --> 00:05:10,020
But today, this whole place and its
12 bedrooms can be yours for a steal,
84
00:05:10,020 --> 00:05:13,773
if your steals start at $12,000 a night.
85
00:05:13,773 --> 00:05:16,985
Oh, very nice.
86
00:05:17,527 --> 00:05:21,781
[Lynne] This house is actually designed
by the same architect as Balmoral Castle,
87
00:05:21,781 --> 00:05:23,450
where the royal family are.
88
00:05:23,450 --> 00:05:27,871
- How close are we to Balmoral Castle?
- Yeah, about half an hour away.
89
00:05:27,871 --> 00:05:30,373
Wow, so literally, your neighbors.
90
00:05:30,373 --> 00:05:32,876
- [Lynne chuckles] Absolutely, yes.
- And they've... they've been in here?
91
00:05:32,876 --> 00:05:34,211
- [Lynne] They have.
- Okay.
92
00:05:34,211 --> 00:05:37,172
The current king
and queen have been guests.
93
00:05:37,172 --> 00:05:39,841
[Levy] I guess when
you already own a castle,
94
00:05:39,841 --> 00:05:43,470
you kinda wanna nose
around in everyone else's.
95
00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:45,138
- In here?
- [Lynne] Yes.
96
00:05:45,138 --> 00:05:47,974
[Levy] But it's not just the royals
who like it here.
97
00:05:47,974 --> 00:05:49,392
[Lynne] This is our dining room.
98
00:05:49,392 --> 00:05:52,479
Oh. Well, you know you're in Scotland.
99
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:57,150
[Lynne] Many of your Hollywood colleagues
have been in here over the years.
100
00:05:57,150 --> 00:06:00,820
- Okay. Who was here?
- Steve Martin.
101
00:06:01,404 --> 00:06:02,906
Robin Williams.
102
00:06:02,906 --> 00:06:04,324
Sean Connery.
103
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,411
- Really?
- So I think you're in good company.
104
00:06:08,954 --> 00:06:10,914
[imitating Sean Connery]
Gentlemen, the answer is simple.
105
00:06:12,207 --> 00:06:15,710
[normal voice] Sean Connery,
he was sitting in one of these chairs.
106
00:06:15,710 --> 00:06:18,547
Tartan, we've seen it in kilts.
107
00:06:18,547 --> 00:06:23,760
I've never seen it on the walls and
on the ceiling, and on the lampshades.
108
00:06:24,302 --> 00:06:25,595
Tartan city.
109
00:06:28,139 --> 00:06:32,018
But an excess of tartan isn't
the only thing on my mind.
110
00:06:32,894 --> 00:06:38,108
I've arranged to meet Michael,
a Scottish expert in Jewish ancestry...
111
00:06:38,108 --> 00:06:40,902
- [Michael] It's good to meet you.
- How are you? Nice to meet you.
112
00:06:40,902 --> 00:06:46,783
...who's been unearthing the family history
of my mum, Rebecca "Betty" Kudlatz.
113
00:06:46,783 --> 00:06:48,577
Listen, it's a little scary.
114
00:06:48,577 --> 00:06:53,999
{\an8}You never wanna uncover the kind of
information that's gonna be embarrassing.
115
00:06:53,999 --> 00:06:57,377
"Your great-grandparents
were murdering thieves,
116
00:06:57,377 --> 00:07:00,964
unfortunately doing
a lot of plundering and pillaging."
117
00:07:01,882 --> 00:07:03,466
[stammers] "Really?
118
00:07:04,467 --> 00:07:06,261
Really? [stammers] Okay."
119
00:07:07,053 --> 00:07:11,182
{\an8}[Michael] First of all, we have
an extended family tree
120
00:07:11,182 --> 00:07:13,393
{\an8}and these are your great-grandparents,
121
00:07:13,393 --> 00:07:15,020
Samuel and Nellie.
122
00:07:16,313 --> 00:07:20,817
Um, I have never seen
these pictures before.
123
00:07:20,817 --> 00:07:23,486
[Michael] So these are Louis's...
your grandfather's parents.
124
00:07:23,987 --> 00:07:26,990
They came from a small
town called Nasielsk,
125
00:07:26,990 --> 00:07:31,286
{\an8}which is about 25 to 30 miles north,
northwest of Warsaw.
126
00:07:31,286 --> 00:07:33,997
And it was 1891 that
the family came to Glasgow.
127
00:07:33,997 --> 00:07:35,874
- [stammers] What was that name of the...
- Nasielsk.
128
00:07:35,874 --> 00:07:37,167
Nasielsk.
129
00:07:37,667 --> 00:07:40,921
Did your mother ever say why did
they go to Glasgow in the first place
130
00:07:40,921 --> 00:07:42,589
and then why did they decide
to go to Canada?
131
00:07:42,589 --> 00:07:43,965
[Levy inhales sharply]
132
00:07:43,965 --> 00:07:49,221
Well, people at the turn of the century
were kind of coming to America, right?
133
00:07:49,221 --> 00:07:50,138
Yeah.
134
00:07:50,138 --> 00:07:53,975
But I don't know necessarily
why they chose Scotland. Do you?
135
00:07:53,975 --> 00:07:56,561
Um, at that time,
it was actually quite rare
136
00:07:56,561 --> 00:07:59,898
to get boats which went from mainland
Europe all the way to North America.
137
00:07:59,898 --> 00:08:02,525
It was very expensive
and these were very poor families.
138
00:08:03,151 --> 00:08:05,820
So most families would do
the journey in two steps...
139
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:07,239
- Right.
- ...to pay for the...
140
00:08:07,239 --> 00:08:08,531
- for the journey.
- Okay.
141
00:08:08,531 --> 00:08:11,785
[stammers] And they came to Glasgow,
and that must've been a bit of a shock
142
00:08:11,785 --> 00:08:16,122
because they went to live in the Gorbals,
which was a very poor area.
143
00:08:16,122 --> 00:08:18,375
- Right.
- Although they stayed there for 30 years.
144
00:08:18,375 --> 00:08:19,334
Yeah.
145
00:08:19,334 --> 00:08:21,711
[Michael] And here's
a photograph of the family.
146
00:08:22,462 --> 00:08:24,506
Your mother is... I think
she's one of the youngest.
147
00:08:25,966 --> 00:08:27,634
- Is that her?
- I think that might be her.
148
00:08:27,634 --> 00:08:28,718
[Levy] Yeah, that's my mum.
149
00:08:29,594 --> 00:08:30,428
Yikes.
150
00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:42,649
I'm actually proud that I,
you know, had relatives
151
00:08:42,649 --> 00:08:45,819
who wanted a better life for their family.
152
00:08:45,819 --> 00:08:48,321
And to think what they had
to go through at the time,
153
00:08:48,863 --> 00:08:50,991
you know, that's pretty major stuff.
154
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,786
If my mum had stayed in Scotland,
of course, I... [stammers] ...you know,
155
00:08:54,786 --> 00:08:57,497
I don't know who you'd
be interviewing right now.
156
00:08:57,497 --> 00:09:03,420
I-I-I certainly wouldn't be here, I mean,
because she met my dad in Canada.
157
00:09:05,589 --> 00:09:10,719
It's extraordinary to consider
these sliding door moments in life.
158
00:09:12,387 --> 00:09:15,307
And while I've never been
to this beautiful country,
159
00:09:15,307 --> 00:09:17,267
it clearly shaped my mother's childhood.
160
00:09:19,102 --> 00:09:23,106
Now I'm finally here,
I want to embrace everything.
161
00:09:23,815 --> 00:09:27,777
So I've accepted an invitation
from one of the locals
162
00:09:27,777 --> 00:09:32,324
to what I'm told is
a do-not-miss national pastime.
163
00:09:32,324 --> 00:09:34,868
- Robert.
- [Robert] Hello. How lovely to see you.
164
00:09:34,868 --> 00:09:37,370
[Levy] I'm assuming
it can't be as unnerving
165
00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:39,247
as moose hunting in Sweden.
166
00:09:39,831 --> 00:09:41,291
Or can it?
167
00:09:41,291 --> 00:09:42,709
What are we up to? Where are we going?
168
00:09:42,709 --> 00:09:44,794
Well, we're gonna do
something nice and traditional today.
169
00:09:44,794 --> 00:09:47,672
We're gonna take you down
to the River Dee in Royal Deeside
170
00:09:47,672 --> 00:09:49,799
to do some salmon fishing.
171
00:09:50,383 --> 00:09:52,719
- Salmon fishing.
- Yes.
172
00:09:52,719 --> 00:09:54,429
Okay.
173
00:09:59,643 --> 00:10:03,188
Why is salmon fishing
so popular here in Scotland?
174
00:10:03,188 --> 00:10:08,276
Well, Eugene, we've got really lovely
rivers, with some amazing salmon in them.
175
00:10:08,276 --> 00:10:10,195
You know, they're a very energetic fish.
176
00:10:10,195 --> 00:10:14,449
So, as tiny, little fish,
they sail down this freshwater rivers,
177
00:10:14,449 --> 00:10:17,744
they then will sail
right across the Atlantic Ocean,
178
00:10:17,744 --> 00:10:20,038
and that fish will then turn
179
00:10:20,705 --> 00:10:22,749
and go right back to
the same river it came from.
180
00:10:22,749 --> 00:10:26,336
It's coming back to spawn,
it's not coming back to get caught.
181
00:10:26,336 --> 00:10:27,337
[Robert laughs]
182
00:10:31,258 --> 00:10:33,468
[Levy] The salmon's migration
back to Scotland
183
00:10:33,468 --> 00:10:36,471
sounds considerably
more hazardous than my own,
184
00:10:37,055 --> 00:10:41,226
but these prized fish draw
anglers here from all over the world.
185
00:10:41,977 --> 00:10:46,189
And landing one isn't
quite as easy as you'd think,
186
00:10:46,189 --> 00:10:49,526
so Robert's enlisted
the help of an expert.
187
00:10:49,526 --> 00:10:50,777
- [Levy] John.
- Eugene.
188
00:10:50,777 --> 00:10:52,320
- Pleased to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
189
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,822
- Welcome to Royal Deeside.
- Thank you.
190
00:10:53,822 --> 00:10:55,198
Excited to be here.
191
00:10:55,198 --> 00:10:59,578
John is a gillie,
a Gaelic word for attendant.
192
00:10:59,578 --> 00:11:01,955
I guess a kind of Highland guide.
193
00:11:01,955 --> 00:11:07,627
There's nothing he doesn't know about
fishing, except for how bad I am at it.
194
00:11:08,211 --> 00:11:10,130
Although, he'll soon find out.
195
00:11:10,130 --> 00:11:12,674
Right. Got something nice for you to wear.
196
00:11:12,674 --> 00:11:15,677
[Levy] The whole thing
is not to offend the gillie.
197
00:11:15,677 --> 00:11:17,804
Okay, lads, if we just get the braces up.
198
00:11:17,804 --> 00:11:20,932
I'm gonna be the good student.
I'm gonna be the-the good pupil.
199
00:11:20,932 --> 00:11:24,352
I'm gonna be really enthusiastic.
I don't wanna ruin his day.
200
00:11:25,186 --> 00:11:27,105
[Robert] Look at you.
Looking the part, Eugene.
201
00:11:27,105 --> 00:11:29,190
- [speaks Scottish Gaelic]
- [laughs]
202
00:11:32,235 --> 00:11:34,779
[John] The cast I'm gonna
teach you is the Circle C.
203
00:11:35,655 --> 00:11:36,907
Round.
204
00:11:39,743 --> 00:11:42,996
And the second part of the cast,
the actual coming round,
205
00:11:42,996 --> 00:11:45,123
is lift a tray of drinks.
206
00:11:45,749 --> 00:11:49,628
And it's whisky, and it's my whisky.
I don't want you spilling any of it.
207
00:11:50,545 --> 00:11:52,756
[Levy] If John
thinks I'll be able to do that,
208
00:11:52,756 --> 00:11:56,051
he must've raided
the drinks cabinet already.
209
00:11:56,051 --> 00:11:58,220
Right. Easy enough.
210
00:11:58,220 --> 00:12:01,681
But I guess the best
thing to do is just give it a go.
211
00:12:01,681 --> 00:12:02,766
[John] Sweep it right round.
212
00:12:03,391 --> 00:12:05,393
- Yeah, there you go.
- [Robert] Ah, look at that. Well done.
213
00:12:05,977 --> 00:12:07,103
- Spot-on.
- [Robert] That's good.
214
00:12:07,103 --> 00:12:08,730
- Huh?
- [John] Give it another go.
215
00:12:11,650 --> 00:12:12,734
Perfect.
216
00:12:14,444 --> 00:12:16,780
- [Robert] Ah. Well done again.
- [John] Superb.
217
00:12:16,780 --> 00:12:17,697
How's that?
218
00:12:17,697 --> 00:12:19,491
All we need to do is catch our salmon now.
219
00:12:19,491 --> 00:12:20,617
All right.
220
00:12:21,493 --> 00:12:24,162
This could be my whole new thing,
you know?
221
00:12:24,162 --> 00:12:28,208
Give up golf, pick up salmon fishing.
222
00:12:42,973 --> 00:12:48,019
I get why people might find this
the most relaxing thing in the world,
223
00:12:49,145 --> 00:12:52,065
because it is quite...
it is quite beautiful out here.
224
00:12:57,153 --> 00:12:58,822
How you doing over there?
225
00:12:58,822 --> 00:13:00,574
[Robert] Well, I haven't caught anything.
226
00:13:00,574 --> 00:13:02,284
How you feeling about it all?
227
00:13:02,284 --> 00:13:05,996
Thi... This is now nosing its
way up as my number-one sport.
228
00:13:05,996 --> 00:13:09,374
[Robert chuckles] You look very happy.
229
00:13:12,377 --> 00:13:15,714
[Levy] I've heard that the royals
enjoy a spot of fishing here too.
230
00:13:16,298 --> 00:13:18,967
This river runs right
through their estate.
231
00:13:20,176 --> 00:13:22,721
And I hope they're
having more luck than me,
232
00:13:22,721 --> 00:13:27,309
because after an hour in the water,
I haven't had so much as a nibble.
233
00:13:28,602 --> 00:13:30,228
Hey, Eugene, any bites?
234
00:13:30,937 --> 00:13:35,191
Uh, nothing yet,
but I think I had a few close calls.
235
00:13:35,191 --> 00:13:36,902
You wanna call it a day?
236
00:13:36,902 --> 00:13:39,905
- All right. Let's do it.
- [John] Okay.
237
00:13:41,197 --> 00:13:43,450
[Levy] The salmon may be off the hook,
238
00:13:43,450 --> 00:13:48,121
but it seems that drowning your
sorrows is all part of the experience.
239
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:50,373
Would you like a wee dram?
240
00:13:50,373 --> 00:13:53,084
[Levy] Time for my first hit
of the hard stuff.
241
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:56,046
I don't... I don't care for whisky.
242
00:13:56,046 --> 00:14:02,135
[stammers] It's a... It's a tough drink,
but, uh, the guys that I was fishing with,
243
00:14:02,636 --> 00:14:07,265
I think they were both delightful, uh,
Scots, you know?
244
00:14:07,265 --> 00:14:12,562
It's kind of the bunch of guys just going...
[chuckles] ..."Good fish on you." You know?
245
00:14:12,562 --> 00:14:14,564
It made for a good afternoon.
246
00:14:16,691 --> 00:14:22,864
And what better way to round off a good
day than by channeling a previous guest,
247
00:14:23,949 --> 00:14:29,037
Sir Sean Connery,
and ordering a vodka martini?
248
00:14:29,037 --> 00:14:32,958
I'm kind of liking Scotland
and this is, like, one day in.
249
00:14:33,959 --> 00:14:35,919
There's a charm to it.
250
00:14:36,586 --> 00:14:41,174
My mum and that side
of the family is just...
251
00:14:42,634 --> 00:14:45,178
right at the forefront of my mind.
252
00:14:45,178 --> 00:14:49,182
You know, it's something I never
thought I... would hit me this way.
253
00:14:50,475 --> 00:14:55,188
Tomorrow, I'm determined to discover
more about my family history here.
254
00:14:56,439 --> 00:14:59,484
Let's hope those bagpipes
don't start too early.
255
00:15:08,994 --> 00:15:11,371
After a majestic night's sleep,
256
00:15:11,371 --> 00:15:15,625
I'm beginning to enjoy being
the king of my very own castle.
257
00:15:18,003 --> 00:15:20,505
This is quite magnificent, isn't it?
258
00:15:22,215 --> 00:15:25,343
But today I'm leaving the Highlands behind
259
00:15:25,343 --> 00:15:29,389
and heading to Glasgow to learn
more about my mum's childhood.
260
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:35,145
My mum only talked about family stories.
261
00:15:35,145 --> 00:15:41,985
It wasn't so much about her life in the
Gorbals, so I'm actually excited about it.
262
00:15:42,819 --> 00:15:45,405
It's over a hundred miles to Glasgow,
263
00:15:46,156 --> 00:15:49,826
and I've been told about
a pit stop en route I can't miss.
264
00:15:50,577 --> 00:15:56,249
One of the few remaining artisan
craftsmen who does everything by hand.
265
00:15:56,249 --> 00:16:00,253
I'm halfway there to have earned
the right to wear a kilt
266
00:16:00,253 --> 00:16:02,839
because half my family was Scottish.
267
00:16:03,423 --> 00:16:06,343
For family events,
they would put the kilt on
268
00:16:06,343 --> 00:16:09,387
and just kind of, you know,
have a great time.
269
00:16:09,387 --> 00:16:10,597
There'd be a lot of laughs.
270
00:16:11,223 --> 00:16:14,267
And if they can do all
that without wearing any underwear,
271
00:16:14,267 --> 00:16:20,440
then this is a family tradition
I have a duty to explore, nervously.
272
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,817
- [kilt maker] Hi, Eugene. How are you?
- You must be Bill.
273
00:16:22,817 --> 00:16:23,985
I am so.
274
00:16:23,985 --> 00:16:25,528
Uh-huh.
275
00:16:27,405 --> 00:16:29,366
The key to a kilt is the tartan,
276
00:16:30,784 --> 00:16:33,954
and there are over 9,000
recorded patterns,
277
00:16:33,954 --> 00:16:37,999
nearly half of which symbolize
a different family or clan.
278
00:16:39,251 --> 00:16:43,004
I don't know whether, uh,
my family has a...
279
00:16:43,004 --> 00:16:44,506
- Yeah.
- [Levy] A tartan.
280
00:16:44,506 --> 00:16:48,843
I don't remember my family
talking about their particular tartan.
281
00:16:48,843 --> 00:16:50,220
[Bill] Okay.
282
00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:54,391
We got to try and find something
that would relate more to yourself,
283
00:16:54,391 --> 00:16:55,642
to be more personal.
284
00:16:56,643 --> 00:16:59,896
Well, my line of work is comedy,
285
00:16:59,896 --> 00:17:02,232
so is there a co...
is there a comedy tartan?
286
00:17:02,232 --> 00:17:03,400
- Well...
- [Levy] Uh...
287
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,110
Depends how comical you want it to be.
288
00:17:05,110 --> 00:17:06,527
[Levy chuckles]
289
00:17:06,527 --> 00:17:07,987
What about this one?
290
00:17:07,987 --> 00:17:12,700
It's known as the kosher tartan,
and it's a Jewish tartan.
291
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:16,161
Well, that sounds like
it's right on the nose, doesn't it?
292
00:17:16,161 --> 00:17:21,626
Okay. Now I need to take
some special measurements.
293
00:17:22,334 --> 00:17:24,254
- How do you mean?
- Well, I need your waist,
294
00:17:24,254 --> 00:17:25,546
- your bum and your length.
- Oh.
295
00:17:25,546 --> 00:17:26,715
Yes. Okay.
296
00:17:30,677 --> 00:17:35,056
I need top of your hip bone
down to the center of your knee.
297
00:17:35,932 --> 00:17:39,477
[Levy] Apparently, Bill's
made more kilts than I've had bagels.
298
00:17:40,103 --> 00:17:41,605
Although, I'd have laid off them
299
00:17:41,605 --> 00:17:43,982
if I'd known he was coming at me
with a tape measure.
300
00:17:43,982 --> 00:17:44,900
All right.
301
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:46,902
Keep in mind I just had lunch.
302
00:17:46,902 --> 00:17:48,320
[Bill] All right.
303
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,363
Now, there we go.
304
00:17:50,363 --> 00:17:52,407
97 centimeters.
305
00:17:52,407 --> 00:17:54,200
I don't know metric.
306
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,036
It would be around about a 38.
307
00:17:56,036 --> 00:17:59,706
Oh, it's not a 38. I'm not a 38.
308
00:17:59,706 --> 00:18:02,542
I'm a 34. Yeah.
309
00:18:02,542 --> 00:18:04,544
The tape measure doesn't lie, Eugene.
310
00:18:04,544 --> 00:18:06,087
[Levy sighs]
311
00:18:06,087 --> 00:18:09,549
I think I'm gonna be
in very safe hands with Bill.
312
00:18:10,383 --> 00:18:12,469
Well, I'll not tell
you the sizes for here.
313
00:18:12,469 --> 00:18:14,888
- I'll keep it all to myself, will I?
- [Levy chuckles] Okay.
314
00:18:14,888 --> 00:18:15,847
[Bill] Yeah.
315
00:18:15,847 --> 00:18:20,936
I think the detail that goes
into his work is quite intricate.
316
00:18:20,936 --> 00:18:21,895
There we go.
317
00:18:21,895 --> 00:18:25,148
- Okay. Whatever that is.
- Huge.
318
00:18:25,148 --> 00:18:26,942
- [laughs]
- Thank you.
319
00:18:26,942 --> 00:18:31,071
I sewed a button on a shirt once,
and it was exhausting.
320
00:18:31,863 --> 00:18:34,407
[Bill] Can I offer you a small libation?
321
00:18:34,407 --> 00:18:37,369
I can't honestly say
I'm a... I'm a scotch drinker.
322
00:18:37,369 --> 00:18:39,329
- Whoa, Nelly.
- [Bill] Really?
323
00:18:39,329 --> 00:18:40,372
That's good.
324
00:18:40,872 --> 00:18:43,124
Uh, well, here's to you, Bill.
325
00:18:45,043 --> 00:18:48,713
- [Bill] And to you, Eugene.
- Here's to you and here's to your craft.
326
00:18:48,713 --> 00:18:50,048
Your very good health, sir.
327
00:18:50,048 --> 00:18:54,594
[Levy] Two drams in 24 hours
and I'm still a hesitant whisky drinker.
328
00:18:54,594 --> 00:18:57,556
[Bill] Now, if I don't get going,
you're not gonna get a kilt.
329
00:18:57,556 --> 00:18:59,599
[both laughing]
330
00:19:00,433 --> 00:19:05,063
But for me, dressing in a kilt
will always feel like wearing a costume
331
00:19:05,063 --> 00:19:09,693
unless I'm able to more
profoundly understand my Scottish roots.
332
00:19:11,152 --> 00:19:16,533
If anything tells you I'm truly a
reluctant traveler, it's that only now,
333
00:19:16,533 --> 00:19:22,789
a hundred years after my mum left these
shores, I'm finally visiting Glasgow...
334
00:19:26,418 --> 00:19:28,712
the city where she was born.
335
00:19:32,424 --> 00:19:36,720
This is about as different
from the Highlands as you can get.
336
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,599
I mean, it really does look
like a working-class town.
337
00:19:42,350 --> 00:19:45,270
And I'm kind of glad I'm here.
338
00:19:48,940 --> 00:19:51,776
When my great-grandparents
arrived from Poland,
339
00:19:51,776 --> 00:19:54,487
they and thousands of
other immigrant workers
340
00:19:54,487 --> 00:20:00,160
settled in the Gorbals, a housing district
on the south bank of the River Clyde.
341
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,412
This is the Gorbals.
342
00:20:04,873 --> 00:20:05,957
This is it.
343
00:20:05,957 --> 00:20:07,417
It's an odd feeling.
344
00:20:08,376 --> 00:20:10,503
And I've had plenty of
odd feelings in my life,
345
00:20:10,503 --> 00:20:13,965
but this is... this is a good odd feeling.
346
00:20:16,635 --> 00:20:21,056
The building that my mum lived in
until she was 13 was demolished
347
00:20:21,056 --> 00:20:23,225
when the Gorbals was redeveloped.
348
00:20:24,726 --> 00:20:28,355
But genealogy expert, Michael,
offered to show me around
349
00:20:28,355 --> 00:20:31,274
a time capsule that does still exist.
350
00:20:32,275 --> 00:20:33,818
So, this has been frozen in time.
351
00:20:33,818 --> 00:20:37,113
This is pretty much kept
as a tenement in Glasgow looked like
352
00:20:37,113 --> 00:20:38,782
in the early 20th century.
353
00:20:38,782 --> 00:20:42,619
So, this is the best we can do to
give you a flavor of what life was like.
354
00:20:42,619 --> 00:20:44,996
- Okay? So, you ready for it?
- [Levy] Okay. Let's take a look.
355
00:20:44,996 --> 00:20:46,289
[Michael] Okay, let's go.
356
00:20:46,289 --> 00:20:49,834
[Levy] With 60,000 people
crammed into an area
357
00:20:49,834 --> 00:20:54,965
about half the size of Coney Island,
living conditions in the Gorbals tenements
358
00:20:54,965 --> 00:20:58,051
were said to be
amongst the worst in Europe.
359
00:20:59,261 --> 00:21:00,470
[Michael] And here we are.
360
00:21:01,513 --> 00:21:04,558
So, this was the heart of the apartment.
361
00:21:04,558 --> 00:21:05,475
The kitchen.
362
00:21:05,475 --> 00:21:07,143
- This is where everything took place.
- Wow.
363
00:21:07,143 --> 00:21:09,312
- [Michael] A multipurpose room.
- Wow.
364
00:21:09,312 --> 00:21:11,314
[Michael]
They would cook around this table.
365
00:21:11,314 --> 00:21:13,316
- They would eat around this table.
- [Levy] Okay.
366
00:21:13,316 --> 00:21:15,777
And you may have noticed,
um, something in the corner.
367
00:21:17,696 --> 00:21:18,905
- Bed.
- Yeah.
368
00:21:18,905 --> 00:21:23,034
That's called the bed recess because,
um, people actually slept in here as well.
369
00:21:23,034 --> 00:21:27,289
You couldn't afford to have a
kitchen room not being used as a bedroom.
370
00:21:27,289 --> 00:21:29,374
Not when you have a large family.
371
00:21:29,374 --> 00:21:32,752
Also, underneath the bed,
you may have the bath,
372
00:21:33,295 --> 00:21:36,089
which you would pull out
to, um, fill up with water for the kids.
373
00:21:36,089 --> 00:21:37,340
Oh, my.
374
00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:41,595
[Michael] Um, your... your mum and siblings
probably had a bath once a week.
375
00:21:41,595 --> 00:21:44,097
If you were lucky,
you were the first kid to have the bath.
376
00:21:44,097 --> 00:21:45,807
And if you were unlucky,
you were the last kid
377
00:21:45,807 --> 00:21:47,851
to have the bath in the same water.
378
00:21:48,852 --> 00:21:49,853
Wow.
379
00:21:49,853 --> 00:21:52,230
[Michael]
Um, this is the... the 1921 census.
380
00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:55,775
Um, your great-grandparents
had passed away but, um,
381
00:21:55,775 --> 00:21:58,945
{\an8}we have your grandparents,
Louie and Flora,
382
00:21:58,945 --> 00:22:02,407
{\an8}eight children and the boarder
in the same number of rooms,
383
00:22:02,407 --> 00:22:04,242
but not as nice as this one.
384
00:22:04,242 --> 00:22:06,161
- Not as a nice as this one.
- [Michael] Yeah.
385
00:22:06,161 --> 00:22:10,373
Um, originally, when your family
arrived there would be shared toilets.
386
00:22:10,373 --> 00:22:14,711
So, you were probably sharing
a toilet with maybe 25 or 30 others.
387
00:22:14,711 --> 00:22:16,254
- Outside?
- Outside.
388
00:22:16,254 --> 00:22:18,798
Possibly with a door. Possibly not.
389
00:22:18,798 --> 00:22:22,135
I don't think that's something
that ever came up in conversation.
390
00:22:22,135 --> 00:22:23,386
Yeah.
391
00:22:23,386 --> 00:22:26,097
I wish I would've actually gotten into
392
00:22:26,097 --> 00:22:31,102
how did 11 people actually,
you know, get by.
393
00:22:31,102 --> 00:22:34,022
She never talked
about that kind of detail.
394
00:22:37,943 --> 00:22:40,487
[Michael] So, here we have the bedroom.
395
00:22:40,487 --> 00:22:43,114
The mattress
is actually made of horsehair,
396
00:22:43,114 --> 00:22:46,993
- and the bedding is, uh, made of straw.
- [Levy whistles]
397
00:22:46,993 --> 00:22:49,537
[Michael] So, I'm not quite sure, um,
how comfortable the bed would've been,
398
00:22:49,537 --> 00:22:51,373
but it-it probably was quite warm.
399
00:22:51,957 --> 00:22:55,168
[Levy] She was a lot of fun,
and she had... she had a great laugh.
400
00:22:55,168 --> 00:22:59,005
And, um, she just enjoyed...
401
00:23:00,173 --> 00:23:05,595
basically enjoyed life
and always looked at the upside of things.
402
00:23:06,721 --> 00:23:11,518
Eleven people in
a two-bedroom situation, you know?
403
00:23:11,518 --> 00:23:13,812
- And yet, never heard a complaint.
- [Michael] Yeah.
404
00:23:16,314 --> 00:23:18,984
[Levy] While this might be
the closest I'll ever get
405
00:23:18,984 --> 00:23:21,152
to the home my mum grew up in,
406
00:23:21,653 --> 00:23:27,409
{\an8}Michael wants to take me someplace
I can walk in her actual footsteps.
407
00:23:30,662 --> 00:23:31,997
[Michael] When were you
last in a synagogue?
408
00:23:32,831 --> 00:23:33,665
It's been a while.
409
00:23:33,665 --> 00:23:34,833
- [Michael] Yeah?
- Yeah.
410
00:23:37,836 --> 00:23:40,088
The Garnethill Synagogue.
411
00:23:41,214 --> 00:23:44,009
[Michael] I'm not quite sure how it
compares to the ones in Canada.
412
00:23:44,009 --> 00:23:47,429
I don't think I've been
in a synagogue this old.
413
00:23:47,429 --> 00:23:50,682
[Michael]
Right. The synagogue was built in 1879.
414
00:23:51,975 --> 00:23:55,228
It was the first purpose-built
synagogue in Scotland,
415
00:23:55,228 --> 00:23:58,148
and the Gorbals is about
one-and-a-half miles away.
416
00:23:58,148 --> 00:24:03,820
So, I guess it's possible my mum's family
417
00:24:03,820 --> 00:24:05,739
would've been in here at some point
418
00:24:05,739 --> 00:24:07,616
- for some special occasion?
- [Michael] Yeah.
419
00:24:07,616 --> 00:24:09,784
They certainly would've
been here for a wedding
420
00:24:09,784 --> 00:24:11,536
or a bar mitzvah or something like that.
421
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:13,163
[inhales sharply]
422
00:24:14,205 --> 00:24:15,248
Wow.
423
00:24:15,999 --> 00:24:19,711
She would've been, you know,
seven, eight, nine, ten.
424
00:24:21,338 --> 00:24:24,716
It's hard to think of her
as a... as a little kid, but...
425
00:24:27,844 --> 00:24:33,975
Actually being here a hundred years later,
I'm feeling a bit of a, you know... a tug.
426
00:24:36,478 --> 00:24:38,063
[crew member] Do you think of her often?
427
00:24:38,063 --> 00:24:40,232
Every day. Yeah.
428
00:24:40,232 --> 00:24:41,733
My mum and my dad.
429
00:24:41,733 --> 00:24:46,571
There's always one time in the day when...
when they just kind of, you know, uh...
430
00:24:49,449 --> 00:24:50,283
come into mind.
431
00:24:53,161 --> 00:24:59,876
I feel like I owe it to my mum to
have seen where it was it all started.
432
00:25:01,461 --> 00:25:07,676
I've never quite felt the
attachment to where the family is from.
433
00:25:07,676 --> 00:25:10,053
It was only an attachment through stories.
434
00:25:11,763 --> 00:25:14,975
So, I'm... I'm... I'm...
I'm glad I... I'm glad I came.
435
00:25:14,975 --> 00:25:16,059
I'm glad I'm here.
436
00:25:16,643 --> 00:25:22,148
Um, and, uh,
I'm glad I'm kind of reconnecting.
437
00:25:45,797 --> 00:25:49,384
As I wake up on my final day in Scotland,
438
00:25:49,384 --> 00:25:53,388
I know that what I learned about
my mum's childhood in Glasgow
439
00:25:53,388 --> 00:25:55,807
will live long in my memory.
440
00:25:58,018 --> 00:26:02,939
But to finish my family story,
there's one more stop I wanna make.
441
00:26:05,442 --> 00:26:07,694
I've discovered the final resting place
442
00:26:07,694 --> 00:26:11,197
of two of the bravest
people I'll never know.
443
00:26:11,698 --> 00:26:15,035
My great-grandparents, Samuel and Nellie.
444
00:26:15,619 --> 00:26:20,290
{\an8}"In loving memory of our dear mother,
Nellie Kudlatz.
445
00:26:21,499 --> 00:26:25,086
{\an8}Died January 1921."
446
00:26:25,712 --> 00:26:29,257
{\an8}And my great-grandfather.
447
00:26:29,257 --> 00:26:30,884
{\an8}How about that?
448
00:26:31,885 --> 00:26:33,762
Patriarch, right?
449
00:26:34,387 --> 00:26:38,350
Well, it's as close as you can
to touching your own family tree.
450
00:26:38,350 --> 00:26:41,228
Getting... Getting to
the roots of the tree.
451
00:26:42,395 --> 00:26:45,106
{\an8}They were looking for a better life.
452
00:26:46,316 --> 00:26:48,318
They did a lot with what they had.
453
00:26:52,989 --> 00:26:56,785
Spending time in Scotland
has brought me closer to my clan...
454
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:02,165
and I'm surprised by how at-home I feel.
455
00:27:03,208 --> 00:27:06,127
A little Northern Ontario to me.
456
00:27:06,753 --> 00:27:11,800
Now we have a... kind of a full-blown
rainbow peeking up right behind me.
457
00:27:14,177 --> 00:27:15,554
Yeah. It's pretty, isn't it?
458
00:27:18,098 --> 00:27:21,226
When I think of Scotland now, I mean,
459
00:27:21,226 --> 00:27:23,937
I'm... my mind's gonna
kind of run the gamut
460
00:27:23,937 --> 00:27:29,609
from Candacraig... which
is just the grandest place to stay...
461
00:27:29,609 --> 00:27:32,070
to the Gorbals, you know?
462
00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:35,949
And, um... And a connection that
I'm glad I was able to make...
463
00:27:37,784 --> 00:27:38,827
coming here.
464
00:27:44,332 --> 00:27:47,794
Before I go,
to celebrate my newfound heritage,
465
00:27:49,504 --> 00:27:53,758
tonight I've been invited to
a good old-fashioned Scottish shindig.
466
00:27:56,261 --> 00:27:59,431
But if I wanna raise a glass
like a true Scotsman,
467
00:27:59,973 --> 00:28:04,185
there's a family favorite I'm gonna
have to develop a taste for first.
468
00:28:05,353 --> 00:28:07,939
My grandfather would...
469
00:28:07,939 --> 00:28:14,070
had a little shot of whisky,
uh, once a week, every Friday.
470
00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:20,327
I've never been a scotch drinker but I've
always admired scotch drinkers, you know?
471
00:28:20,327 --> 00:28:24,706
There's something very cool
about a scotch on the rocks,
472
00:28:25,749 --> 00:28:28,627
but I've never been able to down one.
473
00:28:30,503 --> 00:28:34,591
So, in honor of my grandfather
and to look a bit cooler,
474
00:28:35,091 --> 00:28:39,054
I'm heading to a local distillery
to meet whisky expert, Gary.
475
00:28:39,054 --> 00:28:40,680
Nice to meet you.
476
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,350
- Welcome to Loch Lomond distillery.
- Well, thanks for having me.
477
00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:45,685
So, this is where
it all happens, isn't it?
478
00:28:45,685 --> 00:28:48,188
Yes, very much so. The magic of whisky.
479
00:28:51,691 --> 00:28:54,319
[Levy] My God,
you've got some barrels here.
480
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:57,781
We hold close to half
a million casks across all our sites.
481
00:28:57,781 --> 00:28:59,199
[Levy] Okay.
482
00:28:59,199 --> 00:29:02,327
{\an8}Scotch whisky
can only be made in Scotland,
483
00:29:02,911 --> 00:29:07,374
but most of the casks here
actually come from the United States
484
00:29:07,374 --> 00:29:09,876
and were once used to hold bourbon.
485
00:29:09,876 --> 00:29:13,463
What is it about the casks
that are so critical
486
00:29:13,463 --> 00:29:16,967
to the actual production of the whisky?
487
00:29:16,967 --> 00:29:20,595
It'll bring in more flavor,
um, and it also adds the color.
488
00:29:20,595 --> 00:29:23,431
So, the spirit that comes
from the still is actually clear,
489
00:29:23,431 --> 00:29:24,766
{\an8}but once it's in the cask,
490
00:29:24,766 --> 00:29:28,520
{\an8}that's where that gets that
wonderful golden, caramel, amber color.
491
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,230
Comes from the cask as well.
492
00:29:34,067 --> 00:29:35,443
Welcome to the warehouse.
493
00:29:35,443 --> 00:29:39,197
In here, we can store
up to around 8,000 casks.
494
00:29:39,197 --> 00:29:41,157
Before we try the actual scotch,
495
00:29:41,157 --> 00:29:44,953
uh, I've also brought
a sample of the new make spirit.
496
00:29:45,495 --> 00:29:47,581
So, this is the spirit
that comes off the stills.
497
00:29:47,581 --> 00:29:51,877
It's a clear liquid with all th...
all that color coming from the casks.
498
00:29:51,877 --> 00:29:53,753
You can give it
a wee swirl around the glass.
499
00:29:53,753 --> 00:29:54,838
Just bring it up to the nose.
500
00:29:54,838 --> 00:29:57,424
[Levy sniffs, sighs]
501
00:29:58,174 --> 00:30:00,010
- [groans] It smells...
- [chuckles] Sorry.
502
00:30:00,010 --> 00:30:03,263
I-I shou... I should mention
it's a... this is at 63% alcohol, so...
503
00:30:03,263 --> 00:30:04,931
- I was gonna say. Yeah.
- Yeah.
504
00:30:04,931 --> 00:30:08,393
'Cause that just cleared my sinuses
right... you know, that... that was,
505
00:30:08,393 --> 00:30:10,937
uh... that was... I wouldn't
say it was a healthy sniff.
506
00:30:10,937 --> 00:30:12,564
[Gary laughs]
507
00:30:20,906 --> 00:30:21,907
Ow.
508
00:30:21,907 --> 00:30:24,159
So, you'll get every bit of
sixty-three-and-a-half percent.
509
00:30:24,159 --> 00:30:26,119
Wow. [sniffles]
510
00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:29,164
Um... [clears throat] ...so... [clears throat]
511
00:30:29,915 --> 00:30:31,499
I'll be with you in a second, Gary.
512
00:30:31,499 --> 00:30:33,209
[coughs]
513
00:30:34,794 --> 00:30:36,004
Mama.
514
00:30:36,004 --> 00:30:42,427
[chuckles] It took... That just stripped
a few layers of skin off the esophagus.
515
00:30:42,427 --> 00:30:43,637
That was tough.
516
00:30:43,637 --> 00:30:46,389
So, why don't we
move on to the whiskies then?
517
00:30:46,389 --> 00:30:49,726
[Levy] But apparently
some kind of alchemy happens
518
00:30:49,726 --> 00:30:54,022
once that jet fuel
is left to mature in an old cask.
519
00:30:54,022 --> 00:30:55,607
[Gary] This is 18 years old.
520
00:30:55,607 --> 00:30:57,984
It's been in a bourbon cask
for all that time.
521
00:30:57,984 --> 00:31:00,987
So, can you see straightaway, there's a...
there's a difference in the color,
522
00:31:00,987 --> 00:31:02,697
- and that's come from the wood.
- Yeah.
523
00:31:04,866 --> 00:31:06,368
So, you should hopefully get more of...
524
00:31:06,368 --> 00:31:08,578
- more of that fruit character, I guess.
- That smells better.
525
00:31:08,578 --> 00:31:09,621
Yes. So, it's mellowed out.
526
00:31:09,621 --> 00:31:10,830
Right.
527
00:31:11,331 --> 00:31:12,999
[sniffs] So, if you wanna give it a try.
528
00:31:12,999 --> 00:31:14,167
Here's looking up your kilt,
529
00:31:14,167 --> 00:31:16,127
- as they say.
- [laughs]
530
00:31:18,922 --> 00:31:19,881
That's wonderful.
531
00:31:19,881 --> 00:31:21,341
[Levy] This is actually
532
00:31:21,341 --> 00:31:25,136
- a very good-tasting drink.
- Yeah. Super.
533
00:31:25,136 --> 00:31:27,681
It's almost like a stewed apple character.
534
00:31:27,681 --> 00:31:30,517
I'm getting an almost-drunk sensation.
535
00:31:31,685 --> 00:31:33,520
That was better than
I thought it would be.
536
00:31:34,896 --> 00:31:36,481
I was surprised actually.
537
00:31:36,481 --> 00:31:37,857
You pick up any flavors on it?
538
00:31:38,858 --> 00:31:41,570
- Nope.
- [laughs]
539
00:31:44,322 --> 00:31:45,657
[Levy] Back at my castle,
540
00:31:45,657 --> 00:31:49,327
it's time to celebrate
before my journey continues.
541
00:31:50,328 --> 00:31:54,624
And I finally feel ready to
proudly wear my kosher kilt.
542
00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:57,627
- [all] Wow.
- Well, well, well.
543
00:31:57,627 --> 00:31:59,504
Well, well, well.
544
00:31:59,504 --> 00:32:00,714
Do you feel comfortable?
545
00:32:00,714 --> 00:32:02,841
[Levy] Yes, I feel very comfortable.
546
00:32:02,841 --> 00:32:05,385
My own... very own tartan. Huh?
547
00:32:05,385 --> 00:32:09,097
- [music playing]
- [rhythmic clapping]
548
00:32:09,681 --> 00:32:13,101
Tonight, the best of Scotland
is on the menu.
549
00:32:13,101 --> 00:32:14,352
Good whisky...
550
00:32:14,352 --> 00:32:15,353
- Cheers.
- Here we go.
551
00:32:15,353 --> 00:32:16,479
Cheers.
552
00:32:16,479 --> 00:32:19,316
[Levy] ...which I
can now genuinely appreciate.
553
00:32:20,442 --> 00:32:23,111
Haggis, Scotland's national dish...
554
00:32:23,111 --> 00:32:25,113
- Quite good.
- [all laughing]
555
00:32:25,113 --> 00:32:28,909
...which might take me
a little longer to get on board with.
556
00:32:28,909 --> 00:32:31,077
And a wee Highland fling.
557
00:32:37,667 --> 00:32:41,504
Well, I grew up
not really feeling Scottish,
558
00:32:41,504 --> 00:32:47,093
and somehow,
it has seeped into me in a few days,
559
00:32:47,093 --> 00:32:50,388
that connection to
my mum's side of the family.
560
00:32:50,388 --> 00:32:53,016
And that surprised me in a good way.
561
00:32:55,101 --> 00:32:58,730
There's kind of an attitude
that my mum had, and her family.
562
00:32:58,730 --> 00:33:00,941
They were a very fun-loving people.
563
00:33:01,608 --> 00:33:06,988
Everybody that I've met seemed to
reflect that high-spirited affability.
564
00:33:09,491 --> 00:33:11,493
[all cheering]
565
00:33:16,623 --> 00:33:20,544
I was hoping for some adventures
on my European journey,
566
00:33:20,544 --> 00:33:25,799
but what I wasn't expecting was
a new perspective on my own life.
567
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,803
I came to Scotland
feeling like a stranger,
568
00:33:30,303 --> 00:33:35,100
but I leave here knowing that
this country is part of who I am.
569
00:33:35,809 --> 00:33:38,436
And I think my mum would be proud.
570
00:33:38,436 --> 00:33:40,355
[all cheering, applauding]
571
00:33:40,355 --> 00:33:42,440
- Well done, Eugene.
- [Levy groans]
572
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,985
- [Bill laughs]
- Good.
573
00:33:45,652 --> 00:33:48,029
- That's a workout.
- [all laughing]
574
00:33:48,029 --> 00:33:50,657
[pants] Luckily,
I've got air-conditioning.
575
00:33:50,657 --> 00:33:52,158
[all laughing]
576
00:33:52,158 --> 00:33:53,952
[all cheering, applauding]
577
00:33:55,745 --> 00:33:56,746
Next time...
578
00:33:57,455 --> 00:34:01,918
My European journey brings me to
the most visited country in the world.
579
00:34:01,918 --> 00:34:04,462
Let's do the French kiss.
You're in France.
580
00:34:04,462 --> 00:34:06,590
Full speed ahead, driver.
581
00:34:06,590 --> 00:34:08,925
You know you're in France
when a car was designed
582
00:34:08,925 --> 00:34:11,303
- for two farmers and a sack of potatoes.
- [Sonia laughs]
583
00:34:11,303 --> 00:34:13,637
Feel like one of the Backstreet Boys.
584
00:34:13,637 --> 00:34:15,640
That doesn't seem like a good idea.
585
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,392
I don't think they like me.
586
00:34:17,392 --> 00:34:19,311
I try to have a joie de vivre every day.
587
00:34:20,019 --> 00:34:21,146
- [friend 2] This is pretty good.
- [friend 1] Whoo!
588
00:34:21,146 --> 00:34:22,396
- See that?
- I see that.
589
00:34:22,396 --> 00:34:23,773
- [Sonia] Left, left, left. [laughs]
- [Levy] Uh-oh.
590
00:34:23,773 --> 00:34:25,608
- [Levy chuckles]
- He's late.
591
00:34:25,608 --> 00:34:27,527
I don't usually wait for men.
