Visited Scotland 🏴 a few times, climbed Ben Lomand and drive through Glen Coe and the majestic scenery. Iam sure God took time to create Scotland 😁😁
Just absolutely stunning - no other words for it...!
You are so obviously proud of your country as I am of mine (Wales), trekking in the Highlands is definitely on my bucket list.
I may even fit in a wee dram or six....😉
Stay safe out there....
I don't know who needs to hear this, but everything is going to be fine. Release all negative thoughts and relax
When I visited Scotland 13 years ago, I became convince that the saying "uphill both ways" originated there and I would love for that to be my daily concern
That was an absolutely breathtaking video! Thank you for giving us a look at the majestic beauty that is Scotland. 👌😃🚶🚞🏞🏔🗻⛰
Susan Millard thank you Susan, glad you enjoyed it! 🏴
You're welcome. 🙂
Wonderful vid! I'm excitedly planning my Scotland adventure for 2019 and perhaps a move! Looking forward to your next installment!
Love from Canada.
Katherine Somerville thank you very much and glad it’s brought a little bit of inspiration! Plenty more on the way here and on our blogs 😀
One of the things that most attracts me to Scotland is it’s moodiness. From the brilliant blues to the mist covered mountains it hits all of my emotions. This is a wonderful compilation!!!
I have one comment to add to your tribute - maybe add some soundscapes to add natural background noises? The sounds of Scotland are so amazing. I love listening to the Scotland Outdoors podcast and at the end of many of them they have a beautifully composed soundscape.
Your Instagram videos always have background wind, or stream, or birds, even people talking, which adds to the character.
Beautifully done and this is but a very small comment that comes from someone who appreciates your wonderful work!!!
sgreer thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed! Audio is a challenge for us for sure - wind can interfere a lot with the overall quality as with previous videos but will certainly give some more thought as to getting the balance right with background sound 😀
Just beautiful!! 💛😘💛 I would love to visit these places some day.. thank you for sharing! And I'm so looking forward to the next video and just so you know..the books are better 😊 (season 1 is really good though..) Hugs & sunshine 🌞 N
Sunshine&SilverArrow glad you enjoyed it, they are magnificent indeed. And yes we’re looking forward to more Outlander chat - glad you enjoyed the books too and have to agree, season 1 was the best on the tele 😀
Wonderful. Amazing video.
NYbissett glad you enjoyed it 😀
Great advice, heading to Scotland to go hitch hiking in a few weeks and going to be doing lots of walking and hopefully will venture up a mountain! Thanks Neil
The Microwave Express my pleasure! Happy hiking! 😀
There isn’t really a culture of hitch hiking that exits in Scotland anymore (not for a long time). Public transport is pretty good and can get you to some pretty out of the way places. The West Highland Railway will take you to the highest, most remote station, or even to places that are only an hour or two away, such as here in Arrochar where there are beautiful forest walks or several Munros to climb.
Would love to explore the Isle of Skye! Neil, is there a place in Scotland you have yet to visit and still want to explore? Looking forward to your upcoming Outlander video!
rach elle Skye certainly is very easy to love. It’s over-capacity in the summer months these days so best to visit off-season 👍. I’ve been almost everywhere now aside from the smaller islands but Jura is on my list as are parts of Orkney’s North Isles and more of Sutherland’s peaks. 😀
I personally love Skye and don’t think it can be beaten for beautiful landscapes and that magical Scottish feeling however I have yet to go to Harris. Where would you say is the most magical place you’ve been to on Harris?
Skye is incredible and King of the Landscapes. Harris just has something that gets me. Ceapabhal on South Harris is extraordinary and the horseshoe peaks at Clisham in the north are good places to start 😉
I'll be sure to check them out, I think we'll need a long weekend to take on Harris - thanks for the recommendations!
Hello. Do you have an advice for the footwear in Highlands (many places you just introduced) in July/August thru-hike style? would normal light trail running shoes do, even though they are not necessarily waterproof, or would you suggest gore-tex ones, or even boots? The thing is, in experience of a lot of thru hikers, if it rains, no shoes will stay dry, and if your shoes are not gore-tex they will dry much sooner, and won't keep all that humidity inside like goretex do..I wonder what are your thoughts..cheers)
I go proper waterproof hiking boots. It's likely to rain, you'll get muddy and the terrain will be unpredictable so just easier to be prepared. The style is down to personal preference of course but loads of providers available here, online and high street. Also, restaurants and hotels don't really do dress codes up north (they get it, it's the outdoors) so focus on the practical. Hope that helps 😉
@@scotlanders2612 Thank You for the quick response..would u say waterproof pants is a must? It's going to be my first time hiking in Scotland, but I hike light, so I don't want to bring too much stuff with me..
@@Adam-rh9my I tend to choose days that will be dry but if you don't have that choice then yes I'd have waterproofs with you that you can jump into. You just never know what you're going to get with our weather!
@@scotlanders2612 :D yeah..but that's why I'm. platonically in love with Scotland. thank you)
