Scotland , A tour with Billly......., December 13, 2005
This review is from: Billy Connolly - World Tour of Scotland [Region 2] (DVD)
As a tour guide, Billy is awesome. He shows you the best of his much loved country. He is hysterical, but also shows a more personal side of himself through the tour. Beautiful footage of the country, I really enjoyed this and ended up going to Scotland to see some of the beauty myself....If your interested in Scotland or Billy this is a must see.

Beware. Region 2 DVD Won't Play on most US Players, June 26, 2006
This review is from: Billy Connolly - World Tour of Scotland [Region 2] (DVD)
Please be aware that this DVD is Region 2 encoded and will not play on most US DVD players which are Region 1. You can buy player which will ignore the region code on Amazon - just search for "multi region dvd player".
But it is an extermely funny DVD and well worth getting a multi-region player if you are a Billy Connlly fan!

Scotland as You've Never Seen it Before, June 10, 2011
This review is from: Billy Connolly - World Tour of Scotland [Region 2] (DVD)
Breathtaking scenery coupled with witty commentary and fond memories of his youth by Billy Connolly make this set a marvelous treasure. There's a good deal of historical insight from the Big Yun, as well as live performance in various stage locales about Scotland. The Scots love Billy & they love joking around with him, too. He's quite at home with his very embraceable inner child. Laced throughout the shows are recordings of Billy singing & playing banjo. Now, don't pull a face - he's really very good, though he's too funny to spend his whole life singing!
WARNING to Americans - you will need an all region player to view this set (it's Region 2, which won't play in unmodified American DVD players) & it's in PAL (European) format, as well, so you'll need a monitor that can accept the different frequency. I know our Phillips 22" monitor had no trouble with PAL, but our Samsung DLP requires a converter box. One hopes that with the Obamas' embarrassment over DVD format issues in their gift to the British PM, we may one day live in a region free world, but don't hold your breath!
