I used to scuba dive off the west coast of Scotland, when serving overseas in Germany, but never had the time to wonder the highlands.I think you should guide tours with 4 to 6 people in Jacobite highland gear like your videos show. That I would love to do one day. Your doing us and our ancestors a great honor with these vids thanks
I have good news, he does this now, though your gear is on you!
Man, I loved the history lesson. You made Scotland seem like a magical land from some fairytale or old epic tale. Great video.
It is a magical place. Esp the more north you go. Incredible. :)
Tom, what you’re doing is an important part of saving the past for the future.
Here where I live every rock, tree and stream have a name. My town is called Mariposa, because when the first Europeans came here the place was filled with butterflies. The first site of our town was called Aqua Fria. Cool water.
Because the Giant Sequoia live for thousands of years, each has its own name.
Look how many places in Scotland are named in old Gaelic or Norse , and though evolved there’s still a story to tell.
Even our personal names have a history of a deed or an important part of a life.
Connections to the past, give us connections to the future. Li'la Pi'la'mayáyé Ko'lá /Thank you friend for this gift of knowledge.
Really enjoyed this historical experience, beautiful landscape too! Thanks again for sharing.
What a lovely way to share Scotland with those of us the pond! Thank you!
Beautiful scenery. Love the sound of the small pipes. 😌 Thank you for sharing!
I thought hiking in my beloved Southwest US was rugged, until I saw your amazing video. I descend from the Campbell Clan, Isle of Skye. Thanks for the upload & be safe!
I got to say that watching your channel has reignited my passion for my family history, of the clan Donnachaid. My soul has always belonged to the mountains but being born and raised on the sandy shores of Australia, I often thought I was out of place. Now I know why, so thank you for rekindling this.
I love how you are honoring Scotland. These are wonderful videos and you have breathed life back in the Highlands. It's magical, truly
Ah, my knees woun't let me tramp around country like this anymore; so, thanks for taking me along! :)
Absolutely love it..... mountains fascinate me and the worlds they hide like the bandits waterfall that was amazing to me.....the highlands are my number one place I want to visit to hike, I could watch a video on each mountain in the highlands for hours
I keep coming back to this video-it’s so beautiful, it’s honestly one of my favourites, for the narration and the stories, the cinematography, and the overall feel it evokes. Beautiful work 👍
I loved this video! Thank you for showing us the beauty of Scotland and teaching us the names and stories behind the places.
Amazing places 💚 yes definitely do more content like this. Respect from Egypt
Definitely do more. You are the only one putting content out like this that I enjoy very much.
What a fantastic video! Years ago we drove through Scotland and saw many great scenic wonders but to hike through on foot like you is a great thing to see!
Beautiful! And if you're ever in Sweden, I can show you some of our "fjäll".
Definitely love the highland stories and tales. Would love to see more videos like this!
Thanks enjoyed 👏🏴 yep make more with our great scenery. However love your camping and scottish traditional wear videos aswell
Our Country is simply so Beautiful , being born in this land is like winning the lottery .
Perfect on so many levels! Thank you for sharing the experience.
I've never been to Scotland. Now that I have my DNA results, I know I'm just a small percentage Scott. But every time I see these beautiful videos, hear the language and history, it tears out my heart. I don't know why I'm so drawn to it, but I love it all so much. Your videos are wonderful! Please continue.
Beautiful- just the kind of video I was looking for. Many thanks
Love the old Scottish Highlander history, I will be in the Ben Nevis area later this year enjoying your country, more history lesson videos please sir, I love the natural wildness of the Highlands. Excellent channel content, thank you for your efforts and atb to you.
Fandabi Friday Fix! Just what I needed.
Lovely scenery.
Beautiful landscapes
Greetings from Canada! Nice video. Also nice to see in more detail the places where some of my Highland ancestors once lived.
Please keep making more videos like this.
Great video! Nice to learn a bit more about the history of the Glen. Probably my main reason for learning gaelic is to be able to interpret the landscape around me better when out in the hills.
Beautiful scenery and beautifully filmed
Thank you!
enjoy the video, i visited scotland ,one my favourite country ,with beautiful land scapes hoping return when get back normal !
Bloody hell your videos make this particular Albannaich pine for the old country. I was on Islay recently and I felt the pull of the highlands so strongly it was painful to leave.
Keep up the good work. One day I'll return.
Just awesome, Tom.
Really beautiful country
I really like this format and hope to see more.
Keep putting out these great quality videos, Tom. They really cheer up an Englishman's Friday. I really value your energy, commitment, knowledge and passion and everything you are doing. All the best, Mate.
Thanks mate! Really appreciate it. :)
Beautiful .great video .
You can't do too many of these. More, more, please.
I enjoyed your video but wish it was longer. Beautiful and wild countryside you have in Scotland♥️
Love all your historic highland videos they're fantastic. All the stories and tales and how they did things. Keep up the great work. I see you don't post nearly as often so I'm guessing you don't have the opportunity to venture and make films nearly as much.
Love your videos. Keep it up. These are my ancestors.
I am a little jealous. You video made me think about the reality of hiking here in Texas. Most property is owned or controlled. You cannot just go out walking anymore. Sad thing. Thank you for the video
I live in Texas. Are you anywhere close to the national forest? That's where I go wandering.
Beautiful stuff mate. Interesting too.
I could not understand why as a child I was drawn to Europe- though born & raised in Hawaii. A great melting pot of all places. I met my bio-dad in the early 80's. His ROOTS go back to Ireland/ Scotland, France, Germany and Sweden. I understood the love of Europe.
Thank you for sharing these Stories with me. New Subscriber to your channel. ❤✨🙏❤
Beautiful scenery and interesting as well.
Warm and interesting video! Thank you!!! Good luck in new journeys!
I love this content, the tone, the views. It’s inspiring.
Awesome video ! Keep doing what your doing, love these types of videos, helping keep our Scottish culture and heritage alive
Yes. I very much enjoy these videos whether they teach about your tools, equipment and garb or talk about the Scottish history as we view the gorgeous landscape. Your videos make me wish I was young again and had the time and funds to hike the Highlands! Thank you.
Great video again. You've definitely become one of my favorite outdoors channels in a very short time.
The video captured the atmosphere perfectly, great work!
Watching this eased some of my exam stress, thanks for sharing
Love the video. I look so forward to visiting Scotland. Absolutely beautiful and love the stories and history. Thank you!!
More hiking, camping and stories please.
The beautiful Scottish Highlands is a mesmerising sight for one's eyes to behold , especially whilst one traverses the same old pathways..... Scottish ancestral relatives would travel upon from long ago !!!
Awesome please keep it up
More of this please! Fantastic!
I did enjoy it - it was very good. I find the place names here on the border of England and Wales interesting. The ye intersect and tell the story of shifting boundaries. All the best. Mark
Yes please do more. This was awesome. ❣❣
I love these types of videos. The histories of the places are fascinating. Sad that much is lost already.
Oh wow I love this and would love to hear more.
Fantastic!
Yeah it's a great Video, you should definitely do more like this.
Thanks.
Some awesome footage there Tom. Scotland at it's best. Keep em coming mate.
I enjoy your videos very much, thanks for sharing them!
That was great
Love the vids from Clan Lindsay all the way from Australia!🇦🇺🏴
great little video.
Amazing as always. thank you =)
Awesome unique stuff.
That was incredible.😊
Quality vid as usual m8. Love from south west scotland x
LOVED THE VIDEO , MORE PLEASE , AND A BIT LONGER?
Nice cool vid highlander . Good to know your history
Looking at the land of my ancestors. Names that call to me. Thank you for sharing.
Another fantabulous video!
Love the vistas and your commentary. It's great to have the Gaelic place names and pronunciations. They're nothing like the Sassanach spelling would indicate. :) [I presume the Gaelic characters would be different]. Hmmm, I guess I should ask if that word usage is OK. I live in the Southwest USA so for me there's no negative baggage. Cheers!
Some awesome and beautiful country filled with much history.
this was great
Amazing :O !
Thanks Fandabi: I enjoyed the video While my family name (Spencer) is of Norman origins a large part of my sole is in Scotland. I enjoy the opportunity to feel more of it Thanks again Brian 78
Nice views ty
Magnificent
This video is 5 minutes, and 55 seconds long, awesome!
Yes. Do more.
Nice!
I am a little late to comment this, but I wanted to watch this in peace since it seemed promising :3
And I am not disappointed at all! :D
Some stuff I knew already (yay) but it was really interesting! And you made the video so well, plus when you talk I hear how the names are pronounced properly.
Thank you! :)
Edit: wow, your channel grew a lot! Over 420 likes in one day :D Congratulations!!
Thanks so much! I always look forward to your comments. They are always so positive and nice. Keeps a smile on my face :)
How cold was the dam that you swam in? Love your work, yourself and Erin need to do a Series on the mountain huts around Scotland in the future.
Excellent Tandem Triumphans
For a short 6min, I had an awesome vacation...
It's amazing where the names come from for different places.Chicago is from a native name for the area meaning "place where wild onions grow". The Tippecanoe River (near where I live) was a native name for a fish that was prolific in it's waters. The Gaelic names evoke a certain emotional quality to the places. The part of Scotland you've highlighted have a barren beauty to them, stark and strong.
BTW that's one sad sad story about Deirdre.
*GREAT VID* I feel another donation coming on! hahaha
thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. would have been great to have you camp more traditionally if possible since it's about history, and if you could tell a story or myth or 2 around the fire, or stove lol.
Loved the vid Tom. Please do more of the same.
banging!
Just became a Patreon supporter! You think next time you do a Highland Hiking video, you could answer some questions for us Americans? Like, do you all have a National Park Service? Who manages the land? Is it private land that’s for public use? Do you have park rangers? Are there hiking trails? Or do you just start walking? What’s the deal with hunting and fishing in these areas? Do hikers ever go missing and search and rescue has to be called?
Basically, I’m wondering how such a vast area is properly managed. In America we have thousands of park rangers and Department of Natural Resources agents, and yet people still go missing and poaching still occurs.
Yes we have a National Park service, although the area in this video isn't inside a National Park. The land is private, in fact all of the UK is privately owned I think but there are rights to roam and these are most liberal in Scotland where wild camping is legal everywhere but a select few places. We have park rangers but I'm not sure if they're as numerous as they are in America. I've been hiking here for years and I don't think I've seen a park ranger. There are hiking trails or footpaths you can follow on OS maps but you can just as easily make your own routes up. Yes hikers do go missing and on rare occasions die in the wilderness in the UK. We have a volunteer Mountain Rescue Service who do brilliant work.
It makes a pleasant change to hear someone actually pronouncing the Gaelic names correctly.
I just watched your CZcams video can I please tell you something about me i did my time with the Scottish wild life trust .
And I loved walking in the hills having good times with my mates but I don't get on the hills because I have bilateral knee pain (think you for letting me remember good times with my mates &wife )
Very interesting commentary, and the Highlands always look good.
Only disappointed as the video too short.
I do appreciate the vids are not easy to make, but if possible make these cultural/historical videos longer.
Nice, thanks for filming this and translating! More trips and stories would be great. Could you camp in the waterfall, hidden, bandit area? Is it possible?
Thanks :) You can and i did. It will hopefully be in a future video ;)
Fabulous! I shall eagerly await your video!
