This special seems to instil in viewers a sense of nostalgia. There is nothing too flashy about this Scotland special. No explosions. No major accidents. No major misfortunes. It's just a very charming love letter to the days of the past. Everything is dialled down. But that doesn't mean it isn't amazing. Its just more mature and a bit more grounded in the situation that we find ourselves in due to COVID-19. Its a great testimony to how the world has changed over the past year but in the same time that doesn't mean that somethings won't go back to the way they were. Clarkson, May and Hammond; the trio. I have this strong feeling that that will never change. And that sort of consistency is just brilliant.

There is nothing new in this show. It's the same thing that Clarkson, May and Hammond have been doing for years.

And that's why it's brilliant! Why mess with a great formula?

There is a reason the Guardian TV reviewer hated it. It's everything they hate: toilet humour, not remotely environmentally sound, childish and culturally disrespectful. I loved every minute. It's the remedy for the total wokeness we have to endure day in and out currently.

So much simpler than Madagascar and in the same time so much better. This is like one of the earlier top gear specials on a shoestring budget.

I still don't get how such big American engines produced so little horsepower.

Oh there will be a moment when Hammond will be wearing a certain type of a uniform, please hold on to your couch or else you will fall down from it laughing uncontrollably.

Please more of those simple ones, bigger does not mean better ( the cars in the episode prove that ).

Good, solid episode.

Sure it's been cut back because of covid but the content is still solid and there were real laugh of loud moments.

Just shows you how strong a trio this is when then can have covid cut backs and the episode is arguable stronger than some of their bigger budget episodes.

Could actually have done with being 30 mins longer and seeing a wee bit more of Scotland.

Nevertheless defo worth a watch.

Maybe not their best episode, but all things considered - still a feat of production!

Love seeing the dramatic scenes of scotland and the good old fashioned humour we've loved for so many years... The ending was a tad anti-climatic - if not quite bizarre!

Grand tour, the way everybody loves it. Its a big episode full of funny stuff. Reminds me a lot of the epic Argentinian top gear special, in the best way. Even though its in Scotland, It feels more an adventure then exotic Madagascar ever did. Ad to it some gorgeous American cars and the classic banter and its perfect episode. More of this please!

Sorry to say but it was not even nearly as good as the original grand tour or even the specials it was not bad totally.

Felt like an old episode of top gear, filled an hour and a half up nicely.

Another hilarious episode of the grand tour solving life's great mysteries... like how to tow a camper properly and use an outboard motor. So many good laughs and a few great cars.

Up until this episode I've enjoyed the Grand Tour specials but this one was pretty hard work.

We know it's all staged but this episode seemed worse than the others - the bit with the fire engine was painful. Are we expected to believe there was a parked fire engine nearby unattended that they could freely use?

It was also really disjointed and the bridge part at the end was pointless.

I love Top Gear and The Grand Tour but someone who represent cars over 30 years don't know who build Zastava !!! Zastava is from Yugoslavia today Serbia and not from Soviet Union we were never part of Soviet Union !!!

This Special was definitely the trio back to their old Top Gear days. It was funny, entertaining, if felt natural and had its usual moments with things going wrong. One of my favourite specials of The Grand Tour years.

More of this please boys, MORE OF THIS!!! :-D.

The trio goes on the enchanting roads and castles of Scotland. Filled with classical pranks and jokes the trio is known and loved for. Even though filmed in Scotland it has a strong American influence. The episode contains many famous and infamous American cars that just fit in.

I really hope the producers of Grand Tour see the reviews. This is so much better than the last instalment we had. Nearly as good as the Mongolian special. Back to what they're good at, just driving cars from one place to another with challenges that don't need a tenuous story like pirate treasure driving it.

Just 20 min in and its already better then all of the hollywoon comedy's of last two years. They are the best start of the day one could dream of.

As with all us Grand Tour fans we await with anticipation on the new special, as was my anticipation with this episode. I was, however, a bit disappointed.

With this special, we are presented with the classic trio formula, but that is, in itself, not enough. My critique for this episode origins from the lack of cohesiveness and, as someone else pointed out, grounding, in the episode. My expectation was beautiful scenery, nice drives, a dash of comedy and some consequent mechanical problems along the way. But what we, as viewers, received was an episode that had no real 'plot', they seemed to have planned it out, but they really did not use Scotland's full potential. The caravanning, for example seemed very unnecessary, and they disappeared halfway into the episode. Furthermore, the challenge between the Soviet and Americans was just plonked right in the episode, the race was not particularly interesting and seemed to have no real meaning behind it. The american commune part was also extremely confusing, and it was clear, that the sports bar Jeremy arrived at, was nowhere near the supposed commune on North Uist.

I am a big fan of Scotland (I love Scotland), but GT did not really do it justice, as they did in the episode with the three italian sports cars. I would have liked to see a map of their progression and place names mentioned, so we could have followed the trio; instead, it seemed a bit aimless.

But you, of course, have to remember the situation they are in, it is COVID-19 and they have to follow some serious and strict guidelines, and they made a great episode under these circumstances. It felt very toned down and nostalgic (almost worrying me this was the last special, ever). The cars were also great: beautiful and cool!

I hope to see a more exciting and cohesive special next time.

Happy movie/series watching.

This is your typical tg/tgt special, however that is is no way a bad thing. Highly enjoyable throughout and the final 30 minutes is some of their best stuff. This trio deserves to be recognized for all the entertainment they've given us over the past 10+ years.

Lochdown finds Clarkson, Hammond and May not being able to travel far because of the pandemic and that doesn't massively hinder this special. There's still plenty of caravan chaos, misjudged car modifications and fun challenges all set against really beautiful locations, proving they don't have to travel too far from home to see some jaw droppingly epic scenery. It's a really good special even if it betrays its own format a bit too much.

The central idea of bringing massive American cars through Scotland is a lot of fun because of how ill equipped they are but the random offshoots in other vehicles, no matter how fun, just don't fit. The general idea of the specials is that they're stuck to their chosen cars and even though these segments change up the formula, they do bring it closer to a regular episode of The Grand Tour which kinda defeats the point.

Buy some unreliable cars, accidentally find yourself off road, smash up some caravans, modify said unreliable cars, bully James May.....it's the same tired Andy Wilman formula.

Clarkson has proved he can do so much more with Clarksons Farm, and he needs to capitalise on this.

Yes, it's the same old format. That's the draw of the show. The chemistry between the 3 of them is unparalleled. The scenery is stunning, the production is first class and the expected and unexpected stunts always leaves me in anticipation of the next episode. Well done especially considering the limitations of the pandemic lockdown. Clarkson, Hammond and May have given us 18+ years of incredible entertainment.

This is the lads doing what they do best - messing around, poking fun at each other, and entertaining the rest of us.
