- This video is filmed in 4K and is part of a series touring the beautiful Outer Hebrides, Scotland in our little white motorhome.
PART 3 - We take a ferry to the Isles of Uist, where we stay at two different campsites, Moorcroft Holidays and Balranald Campsite, plus a fantastic park-up next to an incredible beach on Berneray. This island is a lot larger than Barra and we needed more time to properly explore all the places we wanted to see, so we plan to go back again in the future - it is a beautiful island.
PART 1 - we start our journey from Oban, taking the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry to Castlebay, Barra. Our first campsite is Borve Camping and Caravan site and it's from here we start to explore the Isles of Barra and Vatersay.
PART 2 - we move on to Scurrival Campsite, where we discover more beautiful beaches, the ancient Cille Bharra Church and of course the famous Barra Airport where we film the aircraft taking off and landing on the beach - a magical experience.
PARTS 4 & 5 - We explore the Isle of Harris where we stay at Pairc Niseaboist campsite, then treat ourselves to a week's stay in an apartment with stunning views overlooking Luskentyre beach, you seriously do not want to miss this, what an amazing place!
PART 6 - We move on to the Isle of Lewis before catching the ferry back to the mainland.

Thank you
John and Barbara
Your choice of music makes this landscape all the more majestic (if that's even possible). 🥰
Thank you.
And to think we have all this within the UK magical
Really magical! Some incredible skies, and amazing views from the drone. Keep them coming!
We toured Scotland and the outer Hebrides during an 8 week tour in April and May last year. It was the best holiday we’ve ever had and simply fell in love with Scotland. Thanks for taking us back there 👍🍻
Thank you. One of our favourite places too.
I think you have been extremely lucky with the weather. To make an epic journey from the South and find paradise in the Western Isles is rare as it is very often bleak.
Hats Off to both of you for bringing this into my life, it's almost quite spiritual...
We were so lucky with the weather, especially on the Isle of Barra with the blue skies.
When working on Benbecula my favourite walking island was North Uist. Wonderful beaches for swimming and cliffs with nesting fulmar. The sea foam at Scolpaig in a storm was impressive! There are standing stones and chambered cairns. Otters and Golden Eagle too!There was no caravan park at Balnarald then, just a rough track and the bird reserve.
Thanks for sharing! The Isles of Uist are amazing.
The beaches in Scotland are just stunning. Thanks for sharing. Irvine & Karen
Thank you.
What a lovely video thank you.. and especially showing a map .. because living on far away continents we dont always know where these islands or locations are.. ❤
Thank you for commenting and we're pleased you enjoyed the video and found the map helpful. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Thank you for another video reminding me of the time I was there. One thing that struck me was that your vehicle is bigger than my car, so good views all around. Also it would be better with two people to share the driving. One eye on the road, the other on the views. So much is missed when you have to do all the driving. Thank goodness for drone shots. ilona
I drive the van and keep it on the single track roads, Barb does the videoing and also admires the beautiful scenery!
We really enjoyed watching these videos, have never been so lovely to see what its like there. You probably alreayd found out but I think the orange flowers are Crocosmia.
Thank you for your comment. If you get an opportunity to go to these wonderful Islands, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for telling us the name of the lovely orange flowers.
Weve done a few of the Islands and seen a load of vlogs ,but yours is by far the best depiction and some brilliant editing,,Were of to Uist and Barra next month BTW
Wow, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it - have a wonderful trip to this islands next month.
As a retired pro photographer I've loved watching this series. You certainly have a natural 'eye' when it comes to composition. As a fellow motor homer who's been to the Outer Hebrides I feel that you really have captured the magic of the islands. Our van is almost identical to yours (Elddis Accordo 105 Prestige) and there's an image at 13:45 which stopped me in my tracks. If I'd taken it of our van, I'd have it in a 24"x16" frame above my fireplace, just stunning.
You've got nice balance, not too much drone footage (which I feel can get boring) nice music which isn't out of place and no annoying voice over with descriptive graphics. Perfect for viewing on the TV with glass in hand. I hope that the islands remain unspoilt. You were very fortunate with the weather.
Thank you for posting, I'll certainly be watching them again. I feel another visit coming on!
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such encouraging comments, it is appreciated. We have been photographers for many years but this is our very first attempt at videography so we value your observations. We are glad you enjoyed the series.
@@touringforlife9806 Wonderful first attempt, I've never tried videography, made many videos using stills and Proshow Producer going back 10 years or so. So satisfying when it all comes together.
I don't know how you're going to top the Outer Hebrides as a subject!
Good luck, looking forward to your next project. No pressure 🤣🤣
Very nice scenery - and excellent editing and prestentation B)
Thank you for your comment, we hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
@@touringforlife9806 You're welcome and thank you for sharing - i'll be sure to check out the rest :)

Beautiful film of my favourite place in the world. Please just correct your spelling of Benbecula(No r).. Fantastic series.
Thank you so much for commenting and we are glad you like the videos. Ooops didn't notice the spelling error...that one slipped through the net unfortunately, sorry.
Just came here to say the same thing!
Thinking more for the locals who are already hard pressed with the inflated prices of all commodities as it is
So Compton MacKenzie is buried on Barra
Tight little island whwredidthe Ship SS Polititian go aground ? On or near Erisky ? Dumping a great load of Scotch Whisky bound for the U.S. Compton MacKezie’s book Whisky gGalore. My daughter has friends on Barra who grandparents told them of this bit of island history 😊
Thanks very much for the information, very interesting to know.
A cut above other video attempts
Sure is - nice editing, relaxing music... very nice indeed
Hello, Nice views! In which month have you made this journey?
Thank you for your comment. We were in the Outer Hebrides during September.
Thanks, I'll to go next Mai. @@touringforlife9806
I gave thumb up, but you should really show Uist historic places, not just roads and beaches, we can see that on every Hebridean photo
Thank you for your comment. Our one regret is that we did not allow enough time to fully explore this wonderful Island.... on our next journey to the Outer Hebrides we hope to do it justice!
When you stop at cafe or restaurants and campsites you should mention the prices so people can be warned of the ridiculous prices some of these places charge.
Really? They’re not any worse than anywhere else… 🤷♀️
If you can’t afford it, don’t do it
Benbecula, not Benbecular.
Yes this has already been pointed out to us....sorry for the mistake.
