A Rainy Day Walk in the Edinburgh Countryside, Scotland

- Last week we had a thunderstorm and I took the sudden notion to go out and film it. Needless to say, I got completely soaked, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was strangely refreshing, and very peaceful, to just stand and listen to the rain as it came down through the woodland and across the loch.
As you probably know, Scotland gets all kinds of weather and I thought it would be nice, for a change, to film in less than ideal conditions to give some balance to all the sunny, bright shots I usually endeavour to capture. Hope you enjoy it and you find it calming and peaceful :-)

Hope you find this restful & relaxing at this difficult time. Thanks for watching and to everybody who's subscribed 🙂 I tried hard to record good audio, which was done under an umbrella. If you’d like a quieter video, just lower the volume. Have a good week.
Thank you David. I used to love walking in the rain. It’s a solitary pursuit that allows you to just listen and drop the hubbub,concentrate on what’s important and put it in perspective with the prospect of a hot shower when home!. Keep safe and well. C.
You’re so right Clive, there is something quite therapeutic about walking in the rain. It’s hard to describe, but it’s very calming and you can just switch off and lose yourself. Hope you’re continuing to make a good recovery and looking forward to visiting soon. Warmest best wishes, David 🙂
I have had this video in my watch later queue for far too long, and yet, I’m watching it at the perfect time. This is precisely what I needed tonight, thank you for braving the elements for this lovely moment of peace.
Thanks Stephanie, so appreciate you watching and really glad you enjoyed it. I got completely soaked, but it was definitely worth it. It’s a lovely bright Autumn day here in Edinburgh and I’m just off to do another tour - always glad when the ☀️ sun’s out 😀 Hope you’re ok and catch up with you soon. David
A beautiful video David, sights and sounds! We can enjoy the beauty of a walk in the rain without getting our feet wet 😉. And the unexpected ending of sunshine pushing through - the calm after the storm! Added bonus: The three bridges in one shot 😍! As always David, thank you for all the effort you put in for our enjoyment!
Thank you April, I very much appreciate your very kind words and support. The view of the three bridges is one of my favourites and even on a rainy day it looked great. It was quite a challenge to film and if I’d had the time I’d have done the audio slightly differently, but I learn as I go. Hope you have a great week. All the best, David 🙂
Hi David, There nothing like the sound of rain to calm the spirit along with the beautiful scenery. I ended my work day with your last video and started my day with this one. Thanks so much for all the time, effort and professionalism that goes into your work. Take care and be well.
Thanks so much Mike, so glad you’ve enjoyed these last two videos. I’m trying to do a few shorter one’s to try and get a little more out there and they are good fun. It was nice to show Scotland in slightly more challenging weather and that it can still be very beautiful. Thanks as always for watching and your kind support. All the best, David 🙂
David you really braved the elements for this video 🌧 we can’t imagine how wet and muddy you were by the end!! It was lovely to hear the rain and as always captured so beautifully 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for the mention. That meant a lot to us and we are so glad to have met you and become friends. You have helped us loads and for that we are extremely grateful 😊
Awww.. thank you 🙏 so glad you liked it. I think Fiona thought I was a bit bonkers going out in that weather, but when these daft notions hit, you’ve got to go with it 🙂 I got completely soaked and had to put all my camera gear in a box with silica gel and luckily it’s all survived. Always a joy to do what I can to help. You’re both so incredibly hard working and talented and really do produce the most wonderful videos. To do this weekly, with busy jobs, is just truly incredible and I have enormous respect for you both. Take good care of yourselves and catch up with you soon. All the best, David
Absolutely beautiful, David . . Thank you so much for this wonderful calming video - really special.
Thanks so much Kate, that’s so kind of you and deeply appreciated. It was good fun to make, if not a little hazardous 🤪 but I still enjoyed being out there. There’s something very refreshing and cleansing about being in a thunderstorm and I was glad to have ventured out. Thanks for watching and catch up with you soon. All the best, David 🙂
Gosh, looks like paradise David. What a joy to walk around there. It would
Certainly lift your spirits Beautiful trees and greenery ! Wondered what
trees all those different coloured berries were on? Vibrant colours!
Hope you had a ☔️ 🌧
Hi Maxine, hope you’re well and thanks so much for watching. Really glad you enjoyed it. There were Rowans, Acorns and Elderberries in the video which all flourish at this time of year. I love seeing them and thought it would be nice to include them. Hope you’re well and have a great week. All the best, David 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous. Most photographers would have hidden inside; you produced a gem.
Awww.. thank you that’s very kind of you. It was a bit daft going out in that weather, but it was worth it in the end and I did find the rain quite calming & peaceful. Thanks as always for watching, I really appreciate it. All the best, David 🙂
How peaceful and beautiful that was David...thank you so much....frank & lee.....
Hi Frank & Lee, hope you’re both well and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Hope to have a few more out soon. Have a lovely weekend. All the best, David
Hi David, how lovely, my tip is listen with the volume low-ish and let the nourishing rain visually do the talking as it were. During my post retirement vacation which started in May in the North west and the outer Hebrides, Uist's and Sky the rain and wind were my constant companions so it's a good reminder of that time. Thankfully I have now experienced some stunning hot weather too. I will be catching up on your videos in a few weeks after I return home. I can't understand why your Chanel is not taking over the world? I have a mental playlist of some of my favourites. I wonder if it's possible to 'Like' every time I watch one? not tried that? Stay well and I sincerely hope that you keep doing what you do. All the very best, Alan
Can’t thank you enough Alan for all your kind words. It really means a lot. So glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the Hebrides - what a trip it must have been. There’s nowhere in the world quite as special as the Hebrides, despite the wild weather at times. I will persevere with the channel and just concentrate on enjoying it. That’s all that really matters. There’s a specific formula for success on CZcams, that doesn’t fit with me and it’s more important to me to look back on work that is really me and was fun to do. Thanks as always for all your support & encouragement. Enjoy the rest of your amazing trip and always happy to meet and buy you a coffee when you’re in Edinburgh. Take care, David 🙂
So much beauty! Thanks for taking the time and risking a cold to get the clips. Wish I could visit there some day. Whoever owns the little house by the river must be a happy person. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks so much Guillermo, very much appreciate it. The little boathouse is just wonderful and is part of Dundas Castle. It’s a beautiful place for a walk with great wildlife. Thanks for watching and all your support. Hope you have a great week. All the best, David
Yikes am sooo late to the party great video david amazing capture on the nature off oor planet slow mo on the rain drops falling down ... hope u are well David ur vids are truly one in a million take care
Hi Alan, it’s so lovely to hear from you and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I got pretty soaked but it was great fun to make. Hope you’re doing ok and thanks as always for your support. Have a lovely weekend, all the best, David 🙂
In my next life I wish I will born in such a relaxing place
Dear David, as usual, your ability to capture beautiful images is unmatched. Tis a shame your vids don't get more views. I would like to offer a wee bit of advice. There are many like me that suffer from insomnia. Perhaps if you tag a video like this (with low music, gentle rain and little or no talking) with "to relieve stress /insomnia" it may get more views. If you go further down the rabbit hole, there is an entire "asmr" community using audio and visual to help people relax, destress and sleep. Some of it can get pretty strange but I believe your hard work would help others and is too good to be missed. Much love from the USA.
Hi Dee, please accept my apologies for the delay in replying, sometimes messages go into the 'held for review' folder by CZcams when they shouldn't. Thanks so much for the really great suggestion. I don't sleep well these days either and I really sympathise with your insomnia. I will definitely give your suggestion lots of thought. I do try to make restful relaxing videos, although they're actually really hard to do as the audio has to be done separately.Thanks for watching and all your kind words, I deeply appreciate it. Take care and have a lovely weekend. All the best, David :-)
