Shetland is Scottish so much nearer Scotland capital city, also full of small irritating mistakes.

Check your facts on the Prime Meridian!
The prime meridian is the astronomical meridian running through Greenwich and is NOT used for GPS, this meridian is defined by the direction of Gravity. Gravitational meridian is not a real term.
The meridian that is 102m to the east is the Geodetic Meridian, and this is the one use for 0 degrees on GPS and is aligned with the earths centre of mass.
The diagrams are also waaaay out!

Click bait thumbnail and irritating voice.

The Severn Estuary is actually on Wales' south coast...

@WelshAl

You displayed the meridian about 2 miles too far east.

Apart from the glaring errors others have mentioned please get distance correct.

Km IS NOT killymetres.

Reread the word, it is kilo-metres or kill-lom-eaters.

Don't let killy emerge again.

You might have mentioned the sub-sea level areas of East Anglia.

uk measures distances in miles - whats this weird keelomeeters you keep using?

@SteveNicklin
@

What's a 'killy metre'

@simonshepherd4615
@

Hardly mentions Wales, but we are used to that, not even on the flag could easily put a red dragon in the centre.

@charmianjohnson2364

What the hell is this poorly researched slop?

@matthighley1461

Meridian line runs through Grimsby and cleethorpes. Its sad that the only thing they have foe Northern Ireland is gianst causeway. When there are many other items.

DREADFUL PRONUNCIATION....OR AS THE BRITS WOULD SAY....TOTAL BOLLIX

And No mention of Temperate Rain Forests.

Pronunciation?

@David-l4k9v

Isnt there also an ancient micro rainforrest?

Some of your 'facts' have not been fact checked.

@altair8598

You seem to have struggled a bit with your 'facts'.

@philbarnes6678

Folks this is not a human speaking. And this is the reason some of the pronunciation is very odd at times.

If you want to measure the distance from Lerwick to the UK´s capital, London, then it makes more sense to include the distance from Lerwick to Norway´s capital, Oslo, which is about 860km. Alternatively, if you´re taking about larger places like Bergen then Aberdeen is about 270km from Lerwick. Scotland´s capital, Edinburgh is a about 390km from Lerwick.

That handy arrow mIssed Sark by a couple of hundred miles.

So like Northern Ireland can't be counted the way its shown here, there's no sea between us and the Republic.

It's a pity the Union flag at 0:46 is incorrect.

@charlesxix

Jesus this guy really needs to check his facts eh? So many mistakes....

@Debbie-Duck

lurise?

@1nicksart

why are you quoting everything in Km?? In UK we measure distance in miles.

@reeley

Total crap

@alanfrost4661

Amazing facts? You say the Severn bore can reach as high as a 5 story building? Thats between 50 - 75 feet, but the maximum recorded bore was 9ft (1966).

@willowwobble

You put the Prime Meridian in the wrong space. It runs through Gemreenwich, not LCY.

@dingo7772000

We use miles not kilometres.

Impressed by the vast information

Obviously in pre-reformation times, the fact that two pilgrimages to Saint David's in Wales was classed as the equivalent of one pilgrimage to Rome is a fascinating fact to me. A very interesting video about our great country, thank you.

@johnwhitehead1305

Never knew Sark was on the Thames Estuary. Some well researched video!

@pontecarlo2314

3:25, false info, it was made by a giant a long time ago, trying to get from Scotland do Antrim to beat another giant up.
Benandonner built it to get to the home of Fionn mac Cumhaill.

@pucayoutube

Well at least you did show the Cathedral at St David's and not the ruin of the old Abbey. Most show that and talk about the Cathedral leaving the impression that it is a non functioning ruin! But you did sort of give the impression Wales was in England!

@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey

Sark is on the channel islands not kent

@harry9392

You left out the largest fresh water lake in the British Isles, lough neagh in Northern Ireland

I think geography 360 needs to learn some geography

@IanCorrigan-l2s

Really good video. Nice to see Scotland getting a lot of mentions ❤😊

@michaelrooney1454

Hmmm

@NoisicalPortfolio

Very interesting topic, however, when you discuss anything about the UK, why do you use metric? We use imperial. I have no idea what 12000km is. I don't talk about France and use miles. Seriously, keep the units relevant to the units used in the country.
