Chickens are good for ticks, plus you get eggs. Win, win.
Would love to to have coffee with you 😊
Just wondering, I know you don’t do endorsements but I love Katie’s dresses, are they for sale in Scotland? I’ve never seen them 🥰
Absolutely do not give a second thought when people leave nasty or snarky comments. I am 73 now and I thank God we did not have social media years ago. People can be so cruel. Live your life like you want. You are kind nice people and you hurt no one. I enjoy your show because it gives me a chance to see scenery and a life style that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy otherwise. God bless you both.
Thank you and God bless you too. Kx
I agree , with all that you have said , I’m in my 70’s & I’m also so pleased that I didn’t have the internet when I was young . People can be so nasty now .
I love watching the videos , the scenery is amazing , everything about it , is just so relaxing 😌. 😘
Ignore the naysayers - they don't have a clue.
I will advise one thing - please always use your safety glasses. You are too far from a hospital to dismiss the ramifications.
No matter what life throws at you both, you rise to the occasion. If I was 40 years younger I would do what you are doing.
The lady is brilliant, a real worker, gorgeous too .
We learned very early to keep quiet if you do not have something nice to say😂 some people missed that class
Ye learn tae haud yer tongue!!
You two are hilarious together. Anyone who leaves any negative comments are clearly jealous of your lifestyle. You keep doing what you're doing and we will keep enjoying watching you
as long as your having fun fishing your doing it right. a bad day of fishing beats a good day of work.
I hit the LIKE button before the video even began because I already know how much I enjoy your episodes. 😁
😂 me too! ❤
I do that every time, because I know I'll always enjoy it 😊
@@richardeasterlow6988 Yep.😀
And me 😂😂😂 and its also one of the only channels where I let every single advert run too 😊
And me too always very entertaining 😁
The golden eagle when flying close is a powerful symbol of respect, honour, strength, courage and wisdom toward that person.
Wonderful story Scott told of "The Swooping Night Flight of the Golden Eagle Talons at Eye Level". Amazing!
My arms are sore just watching Scott at the ceiling!
My heart sinks when i hear you talk about tics, having had lyme disease myself, know as much about the condition as you can and respond immediately if you suspect you have it.
There are trolls everywhere, unhappy souls that have nothing better to do than cut down others. Your sense of humor and banter with each other makes me laugh, thank you!
I saved a sheeps life tonight, just over an hour ago, it was the only brown one in a large field of whatever breed the others were, but it was on its back, legs in the air, and barely moving. I though of your sheep, they look so placid things. By the time I got over to the sheep that was upside down I was knac.... breathless, asked it if it was still alive and it twitched, its eyes were rolled back, so I just grabbed two handfulls of thick woolly fur and yanked it over, my plan was to hold it for a few seconds so it could recover a bit, but it was too strong, it pulled me over onto the wet grass, it fell over again, then it was off like a Red Rum sheep. Hope your both up and running again soon. Great channel - and inspirational.
Nice work! Good man. Sometimes heavily pregnant ewes will get cast, stuck on their backs like that and they can't save themselves. So you not only saved her life, but her lamb's too. 🤍 Kx
You two are great take no notice Scott about the stupid comments ……… actually you made me laugh so much when you were filming Katie fishing and you said 26 hours later 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really enjoy tuning in each time your both a breath of fresh air ….lots of love to both of you your doing a wonderful job 😊❤🇬🇧
You two have such great senses of humour. I laugh at least once every time I watch
Yay Spring! Loved seeing Bree all warm and toasty in her bedroom! To save a few steps, park your wheelbarrow facing the way you will be going before loading. Excited to see you fishing!!
🙋♀️❤️. First of all, the inside of the cottage Is stunning! Second, the island is bursting with color! Third! You two look as healthy and happy as is legally possible! YAY! PS you're both funny 😂😅
Liked Scott’s nod to Eric Morecambe :)
I admire you both for doing such hard work with your own hands while making all of us out here laugh with your wit and good humor…thank you!
Great idea! We had 6 chickens and still had tick problems. We rescued 6 more and the problem stopped within a month. We have 9 now and still no tick problems. Just be aware chicken math is a thing!
I used to have 12! One tends to keep collecting them, eh?
😲Scott !! "could you fall in?" 😂 Remember, it's called 'fishing', not catching... I could fish for hrs and only get a nibble but still call it a fantastic day. Thanks again for the great laughs.
It's wonderful that you love your sheep and cats so dearly ❤
Just FYI, I personally loved the island diaries.
Me too xx
Great sense of humor you two have. I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing your life.
There's always one negative Nellie in the crowd! They have no idea. Best to ignore them. I love it when Scott cracks himself up 😆 Ah he's such a character. My beloved Mother and Father always kept chickens. There is nothing like the taste of fresh eggs!! Bree looks so cuddly under the lamps, I always feel like curling up with her, especially because it's cold here today. Thank you my lovelies xx Teresa xx 🇦🇺♥
Great comment about the scabby dug which reminded me about Billy throwing up on the wee wumans dug on the bust and saying “I don’t remember eating that”.
Also, I make comments to you and not to others so hardly ever see any other comments, good or bad.
Do what Wrangler Star does and just cancel the rubbish from your site and leave it for just us lovers of the channel.
Scott, whats brown and sticky?
A stick.
Cheers
I love his anecdote about the old woman on the bus, when it goes too fast round the corner and she's "gone from the bus". Had me in tears the first time I watched it. Kx czcams.com/video/jmXhriJbS1o/video.html
I'll absolutely check out Jim's site when it's ready! Before you even mentioned it, I noticed how stunning that stone carving was in the background. A viking ship would be right up my alley as well!
What a pretty pink tarp! Did you know that if you put the firewood onto the tarp, you could pull the tarp up the incline and then start tossing? An American idea, so sorry. I love watching you both interacting with each other. I could watch you all day. Alas, you are not a 24/7 channel. ha ha ha
The island diaries are when your format changed to having much more of the two of you in front of the camera and less about the renovations. It was a significant improvement and I commented about it at the time.
Hello and best wishes from Utah! I am impressed with how much you two accomplish
I wouldn't care if I caught nothing, the view from the pier is enough for me. Catching a fish is a bonus. Enjoy.
Try a baited hook….a worm….always catch a fish….a float is easy to see a bite in a bay or a lake….for a fast stream….use a thin roll lead…for a calm deep pool…where the trout rest 🎣 😉
Wonderful episode as always. I sure do love Scott’s sense of humor.
Would love to see more of Katie’s spinning wheel and the fibers arts you do.
Thank you for inviting us into your world and life.
Love the fishing spot.. maybe next time they will be hungry.. Enjoy the rest of your day ❤
Chickens will be a great asset & especially to keep those awful ticks away . Love them , so friendly, lovely eggs . What’s not to like .
I miss the Island Diaries . Just love your video’s .
This new channel is a welcome and unexpected delight. 😊 I have been to Scotland and the Hebrides several times and really loved it. So, your new adventure really interests me. So, I am living vicariously through this channel thanks to you both!
God has really blessed you both as you bless the world
Thank you so much. We're really grateful to have your continued support. 🤍
So atmospheric....I have painted my Scottish surroundings from an Island studio for 5 years, it's the atmosphere that never fails to stir the emotions.
❤ We really like your videos.
Our opinion is we don't see everything it takes to live and preform your tasks, so we shouldn't judge.
Lol the sunglasses are a dapper look lol.
Katie please don't fall in, don't listen to Scott. 😅
Scott stop harassing Katie. 😊
Great fun, enjoy your life on the island. ❤
Scott's quite a comedian may he should be called sandy Rome wasn't built in a day the fact you give us 2 nice blogs a week we are quite blessed also at least Katie finds you puns jokes funny even if your humour gos over some people's heads 😊
Please don't let the negative Nancy's get your goat with their comments. They just hate themselves truthfully. You two are the hardest working individuals I've seen in quite some time. Besides how many of those pissy commenters actually have their own island? Not one.
Thank you again for sharing your life with us all ❤. So kind of you both to take the time to do thus as well as renovating your home and going about your daily lives. Really enjoy this insight into remote island life. Keep well. Keep safe. Keep happy. Sending love ❤️
"Could you fall in" scot you are a hoot, and Katie please don't fall in 😂❤
I just love your videos. I look forward to each and every one😊
Your seedlings have to HAVE TO HAVE HEAT AND SUNLIGHT , It is very necessary, or they won't amount to much of anything. The heat below the plant is necessary for germination. I worked at a plant nursery for many years. We used a heating pad meant for plants. Herbs are extremely hard to start without warmth.
Thanks so much 😊
So many reasons I could never do what you're doing....mostly, people and their silly comments. The Man in the Arena poem. Anyone who has time to sit behind/in front of a screen and criticize others actually living life and working hard, has issues. I"m glad you can get on with it and do what works for your. 38.9K subscribers, not bad at all! Each time I watch an episode (sometimes I watch more than once!), I realize I am experiencing Fernweh! (funny you mentioned Steve McQueen today- I was in one of the local grocery stores earlier today, Ali MacGraw was there-she lives in town and is still lovely!)
I watched the diaries, but there were only 3 I think, they are very relaxing watching
Try to go fishing during the Slack Tide,if you only have an hour it might be Fun and Productive. 🎉
We Love You Both ! ❤
Pam & Jim
Love your channel. Scott, you really show your soft side when it comes to animals. Jeeves loves you, so content perched on your knee. Happy fishing Katie, you are the most patient on the island 🤣
Lee Majors - Six Million Dollar Man! I watched Monty Python because my dad loved it, but he didn't always understand the accents. So, I translated. I loved the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Guinea Fowl are the best tick control birds. Wasn’t the ‘curtains’ from Jabberwocky?
Guinness fowl are so noisy😧
Another great episode, so love your banter, I have been in stitches laughing out loud!! You make such a great pair! Looking forward as always to your next video. Take care keep safe!
Most beautiful couple living their lives to fullest.
I can only wish you two the best to navigate this difficult life and make it work to defeat the odds of difficult relationship.
I’m not experienced, myself.
I just know how beautiful and difficult it can be at the same time.
With that, I believe in you both to make this earth trumble for the love of one another.
Let it be.
🙏🏽
Dear Scott and Katie, I believe you would love the books of Derek Tangye. Derek and Jeannie left their wealthy social life in London to go back to their roots in Cornwall in the 1980s, to a derelict off grid cottage remote from any road, with 2 cats and 2 donkeys! They discovered the true meaning of happiness and solitude. Deceased now their fans have a website called Friends of Minack, and The Minack Chronicles can still be bought second hand.
Thanks for protecting your eyes😊
Thinking of the tick issue. They say some plants / herbs may also help deter them - Lavender, Mint, Rosemary and garlic. Scott try not let the odd negative comments get to you, the two of you work extremely hard and have a wonderful relationship x
Little tip for your seedlings I cover my with some plastic in the nighttime just to keep some heat in. Some seedlings are very sensitive to the chilly weather
Scott & Katie, I love your channel and adorable pets, but at 85 I no longer have the resources to donate to my favourite channels sadly, my first ever comment was on the ‘Outlander’ channel some ten years ago, I received a real hate mail, my dear husband had recently passed away, and I had just come out of hospital with a second heart attack, when I challenged that stranger I received an apology, but once something is said it can’t be unsaid, I believe if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all, life is now too short to worry about small minded people who seem to dislike everyone, I was once told by a gentleman it is because they have never had any love in their lives, and have very low self esteem, that didn’t make me feel any better at the time though …… anyway God willing for a wee while longer I’ll keep watching my favourite channels and enjoy Scott’s sense of humour and Katie your endless patience with him:) blessings to you both from an english rose 🥀 in the Derby’s Dales 🤗
Lo 22:56 ve fishing too. Could you try for early morning or near dusk? I miss the lovely mackerel from Scotlands west coast. Was born there but now live in New Zealand. Warmer, dryer but just as beautiful. We dont have the hisoric buildings and castles and miss that so much. Its such a lovely dive back into my childhood looking at your stunning videos. Thank you for sharing.
I'm just checking to make sure everything is OK. I didn't see a new episode on Sunday. I love your channel and look forward to seeing how things are going on your Scottish Isle.
Chicken poop is a really good fertilizer, we use that and crops here.😊😊
Scott you always look very handsome when you work .... one can see how Katie eye you from the side 😊
Never realised it took 6 hours to edit videos Scott well done making them for us.I enjoyed watching you with the fish lures explaining what they were all for and fishing Katie x
The filming and editing process takes 4 days out of my week. Two days filming, two days editing. I'm going to talk about this with Katie at the end of the next episode. Many people are unaware as to just how time consuming creating a vlog is.
Oh no my favourite 2 channels going live at the same time. Scottish isle won
Thanks, Sheila! ❤️
Lol it was an eagle, not an owl! You crack me up! Both are amazing and so majestic when flying close to your head. Their wing spans alone are amazing and the way they effortlessly glide is jaw dropping. I'm glad you shared your encounter with the golden eagle so I thought you would appreciate that it brought back a beautiful and heart warming 45 year old memory to me. Once in a lifetime to have a great horned owl do that. I wish I had seen a golden eagle as close as you did, it would have been terrifying and amazing.
Guinea hens eat ticks! But guineas are a challenge to keep!
Omg, you too are hilarious. Scott, your to funny with those glasses. I laughed out loud. 😂❤☮️🇨🇦
I absolutely will give Jim some business when his shop is up and running. I noticed that Celtic cross in the last episode and coveted it. (I thought of asking if it was a gift but figured if it was a gift it would be the only one the fellow made.) It’s very beautiful.
Hooray! Kxx
Me too! Can’t wait to be able to order one ❤
Me too!
Bedge. I love it 😂 xx
Oh, Scott, you make me laugh... 😂🤣 I'm not one of those who thinks you don't do anything. You've got to admit, though, Katie isn't backward in chipping in and doing her fair share... 🙂👍
I love you, Scott, because you're a cat man; I'm crazy about cats‼️ 😍😻🐾
Brilliant episode! I loved the island diary's, bring them back!! Our Veggies are just like yours, they need sun, we've had the sleet and hail here too, and it always rains and windy in North of Ireland! Ps still loving the humour! 😊
We use the term, Angler,over here in the mitten. When referring to fisher person, just saying.
We use "fisherer", over here.
Fantastic guys.Cant get enough of your channel.Love the banter.
Please please if your using power tools wear eye protection.Even a sander.
Thanks for another great video👍
Lovely to see you fishing Katie . I wondered why we hadn’t seen you do this before , fresh fish for dinner
The sarcastic comment about Scott's jacket getting dirty, I always wonder how you get them cleaned. Dust, rain and mud. Getting jackets cleaned when the weather is so bad must be a nightmare! Love the chit chat between the two of you❤when you're trying to be serious😂
Love watching your videos cannot believe people are jerks and make ugly remarks hope you just ignore them.
You've done it again! Not even 10 minutes in and I nearly choked on my crumpet with laughing. "Bedge" Great episode again! I think I say that every time. Loved the fishing. I hope you have some luck soon. Loved the chat at the end. Bree is such a character and Scott's imitation of her was so funny. Thank you for the entertainment!
Ha ha, thanks folks . I always get a laugh here! Ignore the nay sayers! There’s plenty who love you, Scott.
loving all the bird song!
10.32 starts stunning images of what makes this isle a little bit of heaven on earth.
It truly is wonderful. 🤍
Your channel is the only one my husband watches with me and really enjoys as much as I do!
He noticed your new foot pump has a gauge on it that should be measuring the pressure in what you’re inflating. Do your tires there have tire pressure recommendations on them?
Keep fishing and eventually you’ll catch something! When I was about 13, my cousins and I went fishing in the lake beside where our extended family had bought some land. We fished off the docks all the time and sometimes went out in a boat. Usually we caught nothing, but that day I caught over 50 fish. My cousin Mark caught 35. My cousin Tim caught 32. My cousin Tom caught 18. My brother kept coming out to our boat in another boat and taking them back to our great-grandparents, who scaled and cut off the heads and tailes and generally prepared them for freezing. The whole extended family, the 20 of us that were there, had a fish dinner than night! I’ve never had such a catch again. We were kids, using fishing rods.
Finally: sorry about the camera being delayed! That’s so frustrating.
Wow, what an amazing blessing, and a great family story for the generations! Kx
Finally you’re fishing. I was wondering when you were going to fish. 🙂❤️ love it! Seemed so sunny for you too! Alberta 🙂🇨🇦 ❤️ please fish more often!
Your doing an absolutely fantastic job me dear. You must of learned a lot from us Canadians. Keep it up😊😊
Guinea hens are good for getting rid of ticks.
You need a Harley Davison bike with those goggles😂😂. You have the boots, jacket,etc for the image. Then you get up the ladder and start sanding....what an anticlimax😂😂
What a lovely woman with the fishing rod ! My hubby and I love fly fishing - would love to see you guys fishing more 😊
It's been freezing where I am and my seedlings took an age to come up (well, the kale popped up and then promptly got eaten by snails). But even though it's still pretty cold, they've all come up now. I raised them in a mini greenhouse (plastic) with fleece underneath and on top, and they seem pretty happy. An option, perhaps? Must be lovely to have good weather and sunshine up there.
Put your tomato on window sill in kitchen and cover pot with clear plastic bag if seed any good will come thru in about 7 days
I spy a spinning Wheel!! Being an avid spinner myself, it would be lovely to see Katie spinning. Xx
Maybe you can give me some tips, I'm a rookie! Kx
I'd be happy to, anytime. I started by just sitting and treddling to get a steady rhythm. Then got myself some fleece, washed it and when dry i hand carded it into rolags. I advise watching lots of CZcams videos. Before you know it you'll be hooked. 😊😊 @TheScottishIsle
Guinea fowl are the best for ticks. 😊
Thanks for the great video. The two of you make me giggle all the time. Love the foot pump, very effective. Cheers and take care.
Lovely to spend time with you and enjoy your stunning home. Cheers, thanks for the video.
I went back and watched your first video again and loved it even more.I get my bearings more now when your moving through the house and property.I wanted to see the sheep again in the car on your arrival.We live in Australia.I don’t think we could cope with the cold weather.Looking forward to many more videos.They are different and interesting.xx
Hi Sue. You might like to know that I'm going to re-edit a few of the first episodes and do a more professional job on them (as soon as I have the time). These 'newer' versions will not replace the older ones, but I'd like to change the music to our current score and just tidy them up a little. Thank you for your kind comments and for watching us.
Katie, I don't remember seeing that castle-style spinning wheel in your kitchen before! Has it been there? (My memory is worthless.) Do you spin? Will you spin? It's lovely.
It's so easy for people who don't have a channel to not realize that "somebody" has to do hours of editing to make a nice video. And the filming also takes lots of time. Every time I see a little montage of Scott driving the quad from various angles, I think of all the time he spent getting off, moving the camera, backing up, driving again, etc. But maybe it's part of the humorous schtick of this channel to pretend that Scott doesn't get his hands dirty? We know that's not true :)
I think people prefer to watch you doing things, rather than sitting and talking. Except perhaps for a bit at the end -- it's a nice ending. But not the whole time. Hard to say!
So pleasant to watch you casting, with the scenery across the water. It made a lovely , peaceful view
“Could you fall in….” 😂😂😂 You two are hilarious!
I have a suggestion that I send with the most love I NO negativity intended. If Katie could spend more time filming Scott and share more screen time with him, it would help the viewers to be less judgemental against him. And we could enjoy his amazing humor more.
Thank you for this, we do understand this quandary. Sometimes he's off editing and I have to film myself doing things! But we know you guys want to see us both and appreciate it. ❤️ Kx
truly when circumstances allow you two to share your "lucy and rickey" rapport, the humor is off the chart. love you two and the new phade of your lives that you share. Do you!!
Weather manipulation is real!! Thanks for acknowledging that 👍🏼
Your harp music today reminds me of my favorite John Wayne movie, The Quiet Man, with Maureen O'Hara. So enjoy your conversations.
I love your videos, still can't believe you dont clear your beautiful furniture out of a room before you do the work! 😅
I like the color coded jobs idea!
Great sander and extractor but pleeeease wear a face make too, Scott, even the very best of systems still needs backup. Look after yourself mate. Thanks for all you're doing, loving it and nothing but admiration for you both. What an adventure!
New England, they say , if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.
Stay safe
