We're in Killin for this video, and there's so much here to do and see; Loch Tay, Finlarig Castle, Falls of Dochart and Mike's hike up Ben Lawers where our drone Midge gets to new heights.
Greetings from Poland. One of your best videos. The opening drone shot was superb. I was impressed with the voice command camera. Didn't know they even exisited. Killin - Maragowan campsite looked lovely. Shame about the weather though. The pitch surrounded by hills and the river was beautiful. Finlarig Castle, Loch Tay and the Falls of Dochart were beautiful, The drone shots using Midge above the Loch made it even better. What fabulous scenery. I love old railways, brought about in this case by Dr. Beechings Axe in 1965. What engineering, all done by hand. The highlight for me was the walk up and down Bens Glass and Lawers. Midge worked very hard to produce the best drone shots ever. Brilliant photography. Thanks so much for producing such a wonderful vlog, made all the better by you three. Stay safe please and I'll see you again soon
Thanks Michael, glad you liked this one, it's one of our favourites too, and my highlight was also the mountain walk. It really made my day when the mist cleared on my way back and I was able to get the shots from the air, it always adds a different dimension to the videos. There was just so much to do and see around Killin, and stumbling accross Finlarig castle was a special treat.
Every video is getting better... Quality aerial filming... With pleasant and appropriate music... The rain is the downfall of Scottish holidays... And yes wagon wheels like many things are much smaller... Maybe they should rename them roller blade wheels now... 🤔
The first time we went to Killin was in a converted transit van 45 years ago Jonathan (3years) fell out the van and split his chin lots of blood but he was ok and Pauline(8yrs) went for a swim in Dochart falls it was during the summer so not much water in. I am enjoying these videos as they are covering a lot of areas we have visited in the past, I enjoy all your post and I am catching up with lots of your old ones
Hi Susan, we are not surprised that you remember Killin after that, poor Jonathan 😢. Glad you are enjoying our videos, we will not be posting quite so much this year so gives you a chance to catch up on our oldies 😂
Were booked in at Killin for a couple of nights next month. Really looking forward to going to the places you've shown us. Thanks for another great video.
Well that drone shot just got you another sub for sure ! Loved it , love your accent , great .. oh ,, as we are Cockerpoo parents the little furry character just makes it a solid decision .. thanks we will get into your other vids now while we travel around our area Brittany in our van ,,, we don’t have mountains like that though that’s for sure ,, Neil , Liz and Barneyboo the Cockerpoo x
Thanks guys, and thats the best ever name for a Cockerpoo that we have ever heard. The drone is a new addition this year so still learning but was very pleased with that shot. Hope you enjoy Brittany, we love it there.
Absalootly fantastic video.... i waited and waited... and laughed too along the way... and yeah it was worth it ... what you managed to capture at the end made it all worth while . I roared .. when i saw what you.. managed to capture with midge (classic name btw) - not forgetting the waggon wheel ( aye i know they were much bigger when we were wee..) Thanks , that was excellent.
Thanks for the great feedback, we were chuffed with the footage Midge came back with and I seem to remember wagon wheels being the size of dinner plates 😂
Great video, glad you got the name of the river correct, unlike me! There was a railway branch line there, ran from the Loch Tay jetty into Killin. People used to get off a Steamer and catch the train into Killin.
Absolutely fantastic video Mike & Tricia, fantastic journey, beautiful scenery, great history and your hiking was amazing! How wonderful at the end the clouds blew away and your drone shots were gorgeous of the mountains!! Loved your view and the circular shot of you on the mountain top…Brilliant
Have just found your vlog l really enjoyed it and am looking forward to finding more and looking forward to what is to come thank you for sharing your adventures with me see you soon
Great vlog. Great to see the kit you use we currently use GoPro 8 but thinking of the osmo pocket. Your vlogs are always so factual we love them 👍🏻🏴👍🏻
nice vlog mike and trish..lovely scenery and stunning views and nice to see you having a good time. you take care and looking forward to your next adventure.... dave L,pool
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot I save many of the places I would like to visit on Google Maps. I have saved the campsite and castle. Loved your walk in the mountains and great to get some drone footage. Is it a DJI Mini 2 you have?
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Yes I have the first Mavic Mini and the Mavic 2 Pro. I end up using the Mini because of all the restrictions of the of the larger one.
Ha ha, wagon wheels have always been that size... Your hands have got bigger over the years. But seriously though your channel is a real gem, I'm so pleased Dan and Mazzy mentioned you, great stuff thank you 👍👍👍
Love your videos! Every time I watch one I end up adding the place you visited to my list of "must see" places to visit when I go to Scotland. Take care, from Texas.
Great video Mike n Trish ....... we sat on that bench outside the pub at the falls a few years ago when we did a little tour in our mini before Harry. Great effort on that walk an brilliant drone shots showing the achievement - like the drama music to
Hi I am new to ur channel and just watching ur vlog and u said about the Drummond clan as I am from the Drummond clan as my mums mum is a Drummond and trying to find all about them and did not know that they had this castle and then the main one that is now I will be looking for this book and it was nice to hear our family name as I am planning on comming up to Scotland next year
Very enjoyable watch guys. We know that area well, been up Ben Lawers, stayed many many times in the Kenmore Club prior to getting our Campervan. Such a beautiful area, so sad to hear of the fire at the Crannog Iron Age House last night, we were going to suggest you visited it’s very interesting.
Our DJI Actions hardly ever listen to us. Very stubborn..... I will park the rest of the comment there for fear of antagonising half the population😉 Those Ulanzi clips look good. Might have to invest in one of those kits.
They are good, but way too expensive at around £25 a pop then need one for the tripod, selfie stick and windscreen mount, and I have the top parts on the osmo and my Canon SX740 with zoom lens and they let me interchange cameras very quickly.
That was a really enjoyable and informative video. Fabulous drone shots at the end too. I have an Osmo Action and have the exact same problem with the "Stop recording" command ... must be the Scottish accent! Was the edit going through Callander at 2:22 deliberate? ... I was rolling about laughing at the shop sign above what is presumably a hardware store :D
Thanks Donald, ha ha, no not deliberate and didn't realise it until you pointed it out. We're at home this week, if you fancy meeting up for a blether drop me an email at weebroonvan@gmail.com
Great video guys cinematics are stunning pro narrated we just want go to scotland NOW. Thanks could you please tell me what make of drone midge is Thanks
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Thanks mike, the shot you get are great no need for enything more i would think. keep the vids coming we love having our brakefast will watching you, Tricia & of course Keira, like the shows on tv 3 and 4 times over
Hi James, I will be turning 58 soon-ish, it looks more scary with the drone than it actually was, I am not good with heights so if the ridge had been very narrow I would have bottled it.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Thanks! I’m 73 and travel the east coast of the USA in my 20 ft R-Pod 180 and my Goldendoodle, Moxie! I’m also an FAA Part 107 Drone Pilot flying a DJI Phantom 4 Pro v. 2.0. Due to all that - I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you to David from Cruising the Cut! All the best!
How are you doing master mike mrs Tricia we are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students enjoy to explore places unknown to us it’s impossible for us to travel to Europe or USA even before global pandemic may god end this misery soon amen all of us are suffering I gathered main information about place you visited here it’s killin means white or fair church Gaelic it’s village situated at western head of loch ray stirring for merly Perth shire Scotland west of falls of. Dochart Main Street lead down loch at confluence of rivers dochart thank you for showing us such wonderful scenes you are as guide tourist for all people around world stay safe blessed bon voyage have nice trip good luck to you your loved ones
Brilliant video, really enjoyed that. I caught the falls of dochart in full flow last october and sent the drone out to get the shots czcams.com/video/beQCkOuXb-4/video.html
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot That's easily the most nervous flight I've ever done. The fear of hitting a stray branch was bad enough but when the crows flew out I thought that was it. They were all around the drone lol

Totally enjoyed Killin. Thanks for your tips. We'd never have seen so much without your videos..
Its a great place Killin, we would definitely go back there, glad to have given you a few pointers, cheers for watching!

The rain is the downfall of Scottish holidays...

Breath taking Mountain View footage . You must be in excellent health for that hike !
Beautiful countryside...and meals!
Yep, right on both counts, thanks as always for watching Ethan.

Thanks, we loved it there and I'm sure you will too 👍
Well done you two spectacular film of the Munro s I think we will try that area thanks for the inspiration Neal Tricia and Freddie
Hi guys, its a great area, that castle was a complete surprise we had no idea it was there and filmed it as we were seeing it for the first time.
Well that drone shot just got you another sub for sure ! Loved it , love your accent , great .. oh ,, as we are Cockerpoo parents the little furry character just makes it a solid decision .. thanks we will get into your other vids now while we travel around our area Brittany in our van ,,, we don’t have mountains like that though that’s for sure ,, Neil , Liz and Barneyboo the Cockerpoo x
Thanks guys, and thats the best ever name for a Cockerpoo that we have ever heard. The drone is a new addition this year so still learning but was very pleased with that shot. Hope you enjoy Brittany, we love it there.
Love Loch Tay, was so sad to see the Crannog burn down.
It was heartbreaking, we visited it a couple of years ago, otherwise would have went there and had it in the vlog.
Wow those drone shots were stunning. Take care Gill
Thanks Gill, we were well pleased with the drone shots 😀

Great video, glad you got the name of the river correct, unlike me! There was a railway branch line there, ran from the Loch Tay jetty into Killin. People used to get off a Steamer and catch the train into Killin.

Great vlog. Great to see the kit you use we currently use GoPro 8 but thinking of the osmo pocket. Your vlogs are always so factual we love them 👍🏻🏴👍🏻
Cheers, Osmo Pocket is good too, thanks for the feedback👍
Great video, very enjoyable to do a castle tour and then climb a Munro from the comfort of my armchair. Cheers 🍷🍺👍
Thanks 👍 we didn't expect the castle so it was such a bonus and the views from up the Ben on the way back were something special.
Brilliant vlog guys 👍👍😎
Cheers mate👍

Glad you enjoyed it Dave, thanks for watching!
Nice spot down by the river.

That’s a beautiful location and lovely little castle.
We loved it there, the castle was a great find.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot I save many of the places I would like to visit on Google Maps. I have saved the campsite and castle.
Loved your walk in the mountains and great to get some drone footage. Is it a DJI Mini 2 you have?
@@christianlewisphotography6910 Yes, its a great wee drone and just 249g so doesn't have the restrictions that larger drones have.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Yes I have the first Mavic Mini and the Mavic 2 Pro. I end up using the Mini because of all the restrictions of the of the larger one.

We appreciate that, I'm sure they used to be the size of dinner plates
Stunning drone footage, absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you too for watching and the feedback, so pleased with the drone footage
Lovely walks round Killin, and a chippy van in the village too. Been going for years and never tire of it.
I can understand why, its such a great place to visit and spend some time at.
Gorgeous!
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant,really enjoyed that.
Thanks Helen, that's really nice of you to give us that feedback 😀
How many sausages lol ....man after my own heart ..nice spot mate
Ha ha, I do like a sausage or two...or three...or....
What a great video. That drone footage at the end was amazing. Thanks guys.
Thanks so much for the feedback, glad I had Midge in the bag and she got out on the way back
Love your videos! Every time I watch one I end up adding the place you visited to my list of "must see" places to visit when I go to Scotland. Take care, from Texas.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm sure we will have more places for you to add to the list🤣
Great vid loved the drone footage
Cheers, we were well pleased with the drone shots, made my day 😀

Really excellent wee video those drone shots were spectacular 👍 thanks
Glad you like them! they made the treck so worthwhile.
So happy to find your channel again. Great visit to seeing the castle. Think of you guys while I enjoy my Scottish whiskey
Thanks Marie, I'll drink to that 🥃. 🙂
Great video Mike n Trish ....... we sat on that bench outside the pub at the falls a few years ago when we did a little tour in our mini before Harry. Great effort on that walk an brilliant drone shots showing the achievement - like the drama music to
Thanks Stew, great little pub 👍. Was well pleased with the drone shots 😀.
I hopefully in the future will be able to walk climb as well as you but have gone through a hip replacement in January all the best Neal
I have a friend who is a dog walker and has had that op a year ago, its now difficult to keep up with her, take it easy and you will get there 👍
The Scottish version of Life is too Short, love it; great pitch backing onto the river, the food looked lush too 😊
Thanks William it was a great pitch and yes we loved the food, good to have a wee treat sometimes 😋

Glad we were able to tell you a little about your ancient ancestry, maybe you can plan a visit there when you come up to Scotland.

Hi Gillian, we've been to the Crannog on Loch Tay before so gave it a miss, like you, shocked by the news today about the fire.
❤👍❤
👍🐾💕
Thanks guys great stuff, and wagon wheels were a lot bigger back in the day 😂😂👍
Think they should be called roller skate wheels now 🤔
Thanks guys ☺️
Our pleasure! especially seeing these views on the way back.
Our DJI Actions hardly ever listen to us. Very stubborn..... I will park the rest of the comment there for fear of antagonising half the population😉

What's your dram of choice?
Great life btw
Brilliant views from Midge. Your keen on the old hill walking. I think it would kill me!
Hmmmmm a lot to choose from but probably Laphroaig is right up there. Yep, like the hills and great views putting Midge up.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot indeed, my list is a long one and growing 😁

We don't need to find them, they find us🤣
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot very good😅😅
Tis a shame that you had the cloud cover at the top as the views are amazing, but you got that anyway going by the drone footage.
Great video guys cinematics are stunning pro narrated we just want go to scotland NOW. Thanks could you please tell me what make of drone midge is Thanks
Hi Alan, thanks for your comments, its a DJI Mini 2, its really the only option now for amateurs like me given the new drone regulations in the UK

When in killin you should go to the dam up the magernay land
Thanks, will try to remember that for next time 👍
Mike, if you don’t mind - how old are you? I’m so impressed with your climbing ability!
