We Found Scotland in California
#AncestryPartner We took an AncestryDNA test, and we both found out that we have family history going back to Scotland, so we decided to try and immerse ourselves in Scottish culture. So instead of booking a flight to Scotland, we spent a day immersing ourselves in Scottish culture right here in California to see how much of Scotland we could find close to home. We started at the Seaside Highland Games at the Ventura County Fairgrounds for pipe bands, Highland dancing, the Grand Parade, and Scottish food, then drove to Los Angeles for dinner at the historic Tam O'Shanter. Inside, the walls are covered in family tartans, so we went on a mission to find ours before finishing with prime rib, toad in the hole, and sticky toffee pudding. 🧬Travel like your ancestors with AncestryDNA: https://www.ancestry.com/t103593/rd.ashx?ancid=fivixcneb0 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 An AncestryDNA Test Sent Us Chasing Scottish Roots 0:22 Why We Looked for Scottish Heritage in California 1:23 Scottish Highland Games in Ventura, California 1:48 Searching for Our Family Clan Colors 2:48 The Highland Games Parade and Bagpipes 4:12 Trying Scottish Meat Pies at the Festival 5:37 Tasting Scotch Whisky from Different Scottish Regions 8:08 Can We Find Our Family Tartan in Ventura? 9:34 Tam O’Shanter: A Historic Scottish Restaurant in Los Angeles 10:41 A Scotch With a Personal Family Connection 12:10 Trying a Traditional Scottish Dish for the First Time 13:04 Did We Find Our Family Tartan in Los Angeles? 13:55 A Scottish Dinner That Felt Like Family History 14:45 How Ancestry Changed the Way We Explore 15:13 Could Your Ancestry Inspire a Local Trip? //SHOP OUR FAVORITES: ○ LTK: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/theloverspassport ○ Amazon Storefront: https://amzn.to/46Ym9EF ○ ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop/loverspassport //FOLLOW OUR ADVENTURES ○ Website: https://tlp-storefront.netlify.app/index.html ○ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theloverspassport ○ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theloverspassport ○ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/theloverspassport ○ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theloverspassport?lang=en **FTC Disclosure: This video is sponsored by Ancestry.
