- UNPREDICTABLE Atlantic Storms, Life-Changing Isle of Tiree, Escape the Rat in Hebrides, Scotland.
Four Seasons in One Day - Snow, Blue sky, Rain, 40ft waves. All in one day on Tiree, the tiny remote Scottish island part of Scoltland's Inner Hebrides. Slow living was never so fast changing.

Moving to a tiny and remote Scottish island - a dot in the Atlantic Ocean 3 hours off the west coast of Scotland - made us look at the world through new eyes. We learnt that we didn’t need all that much to be happy. So, we set out to make the most of what we have on our new Inner Hebrides island home.
Tiree is a tiny island, part of Scotlands Inner Hebrides. It's the most westerly island of the Inner Hebrides. Nothing between our new island home and the east coast of America - except the Atlantic Ocean
We'll show you how we made the life-changing move, how we actively designed our new life, bought a plot of land, designed a new house, started a new business, saved orphaned lambs and now have a new flock as well a much more.
Here's to doing good, feeling good and moving towards something amazing on the Isle of Tiree - One step at a time.

Anyone who lives with such passion, whilst living in such a stunningly beautiful yet harsh environment deserves my sub.
Cheers Andy, it’s really appreciated.
Welcome to British Columbia, Canada! :)
Good to know someone else experiences the same crazy days 🙂
What harsh weather, but a truly beautiful place. Glad your video came into my feed, look forward to sharing the adventure.
A truly fantastic feeling when you realise how blessed you are to be apart of it. All the best my friend
Very much so :-)
I am on the East Coast of Scotland and it is freezing here , Two feet of snow is so common plus ZERO Fahrenheit where everything freezes, even Salt Water ! Give me Tiree anyday !
Great production effort on your videos. Really enjoyed it 👍🏻
Thanks Nick. Really appreciate the positive feedback. We've not posted in a while but should be uploading the next one over the weekend, Monday at the latest. Hope you enjoy the rest. Cheers
wow this was amazing to watch. So interesting.
Hi and thanks for the positive support we really appreciate it. The next Vlog is on the way. Just in the final edit. Sorry it’s been so long in the making. It’s been a truly crazy year :-)
Beautiful beautiful video. Thank you for sharing such! Lovely place. ❤
Hi Jane, thanks so much for taking the time to watch our little channel and a big thank you for the lovely feedback. You've put a big smile on my Monday morning face. :-)
Watching this one again. I just can't get over those waves and the way you capture them.
It was a spectacular day :-)
Aren’t we so blessed to live on such an awesome and breathtaking planet ❤
Totally :-)
What a stunning video and so interesting too! It’s wonderful to see your happy and well looked after sheep - they are so beautiful.
Sandra thanks soooo much for the positive words it put a smile on our faces. It's been a spectacular few weeks and it looks like more big weather on the way :-). The sheep are all super happy, I'm just about to pop down and say hello to them. Have a great day and thanks for the support :-)
Brilliant 🎉🎉🎉😊
Thank you so much. That one word means so much to us your positive support is really appreciated :-) I hope you find our other little videos interesting
Randomly got recommended this video by CZcams, and by god Im glad I clicked on it. The way of life, on a Scottish island is so appealing. It is a simpler life with an easy way to disconnect from the chaotic world we live in. Totally going to buy a woolie hat for this winter coming, although I feel a hat is a requirement year round on that island. lol
Hi there. It really a great place to disconnect on your own terms. We're lucky as it does not get as cold as mainland Scotland :-). Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch our little channel it is appreciated. :-) I hope our other videos are equally interesting for you.
Well photographed, I like the slow motion effects of some of your video clips
great narrative very professional
Thanks. Much appreciated.
criminally undersubscribed, this video is shot fantastically. I live in north east sotland, really interesting to see the way of life in other remote parts of scotland.
Cheers Gavin for the awesome words and support , it's really appreciated.
This is such a charming video ... well done and congrats!
Greetings from the equally windy, but slightly warmer island of Florianópolis, Brazil
Hi and super sorry it's taken so long to reply. Somehow I missed your comment in the feed. I hope you are well in Florianopolis in Brazil. Thanks for the lovely words and support.
Beautifully shot.
Thanks Stephen for the support. We're still learning so hope each video is a little improvement :-)
What about planting trees great video Thanks
WOW !!!! not sure how this popped up in my feed but boy I'm pleased it did :) - those slow motion shots were absolutely beautiful , what a great video, thoroughly enjoyed it - subscribe button hit !!!!!
Thanks for subscribing - awesome. It's such a beautiful place to call home, makes it worth getting out and capturing as much as possible. Cheers :-)
I'm back again, those shots of the Atlantic, the music, your target focus, the whole cinematography its simply the best I have seen. Your observational narration between cuts makes me feel like I am there !! ( and I would love to be :) )The way you have slowed the recording down for the waves is out of this world , not too fast and not too slow !! Fantastic bonnie lad @@SimpleLifeScotland
@@bullerboy22 WOW you've made my day. Thanks so much for the truly kind and supportive feedback, it means a lot :-)
This was fascinating and perfectly shot! Fantastic to see all the woolly babies together (please give my little bud Rocky a good ol tickle) much love to you all xx
Thanks for the support. It's really appreciated. Heading down to see the flock now for their morning feed, so I'll give Rocky a tickle from you.
At long last I've done it and uploaded the next vlog. More to follow 🙂
Totally inspiring
Thanks so much for the fantastic feedback. It really does mean so much to us. We'll do our best to keep doing the same. Have an awesome day.
What a fantastic shot with the wave!
Well done the both of you!
I love Tiree
Hi Liesbet It was a an amazing day watching the Atlantic Ocean. We were so lucky to catch that wave on camera. More storms on the way. :-)
My aunt found my grandfathers childhood house and 2 churches that distant grandfathers had built and were the first pastors of. I fell hard in love with the country and people.The people there were so nice to my daughter and I. If there was anyway I could move there, I would in a minute! I had a group of Scottish guys after talking to me say that I made them proud to be a Scot! Thanks for posting these videos! You are a blessed man! All the best
Thanks
Beautiful shots and interesting content very nicely combined in a perfect length videos. You are first CZcamsrs I want to watch on a big screen. Amazing music as well.
I'm sorry its so long to reply to you - I hope you can forgive us. It's been a crazy year and I'm looking forward to getting the time to add the next vlog - So much to talk about. I really do appreciate your amazingly kind words and support. I hope you've had a good week so far.
Very special memories of the two times I visited Tiree, hopefully next year we will return for more adventures.
Amazing :-)
Reminds me of my life on Kodiak Island. Beautifully projected!
Thanks for the support. I hope to have the next vlog out this week :-)
Beautiful.
Thanks
Absolutely stunning
Thanks for the lovely comment.
@@SimpleLifeScotland Really glad I stumbled across your channel!
@@AshFromEarth thanks for joining us on our journey. It’s all trial and error with our post so all suggestions welcome :-)
Just discovered your video.. absolutely wonderful.. thank from south africa
The best vid of the islands I’ve seen. Thanks.
Hi and thanks for the amazing comment it really is appreciated 🙂
You guys are living my dream
It really is achievable :-)
Just got recommended this video, it's great, and very well done. Wonderful tranquility. 👍
Hi and thanks for the kind words. It's appreciated.
Just subbed, I love following Living the Skye Life and The Scottish Island. I’m hoping to live in the West of Scotland myself. Look forward to more episodes. Andy UK
Thanks for supporting our little channel Andy it’s really appreciated :-). The West Coast is a special sort of beautiful :-)
Beautiful footage.
Thank you for the kind words.
Love that you’re using the wife as a prop. “Just a bit closer dear… bit further… almost got the shot…” 😅
I know. It's a hard life being the cameraman :-)
Fantastic video and really well shot and put together. My partner and I would love to move away from the rat race in North West England. Maybe in the future we will buy a house there. Beautiful scenery and lovely animals.
It's the perfect place to call home. Thanks for taking the time to watch our vlog and I hope you enjoy the rest of our vlogs.
Looks you have find a wonderful life😊👍👍 ….well done my’ol mate and I wish you good weather and fortune and luck going forward 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😄😉
Thanks 👍
This video was so well made and presented I feel bigger topics are within your ability and would be well received.
Thanks for the encouragement. What topics do you think?
Well, given it that the Mexican government is at this moment live on TV in Mexico announcing alien life is real, that every government in the world knows this, and showing bodies they have and the scans and tests they have done on them, I don't think any other topic will get much coverage. Search youtube. I've waited 20 years to be proved right.
Hi, I meant to say that when I watched your vid i found the lady in the yellow jacket who never shows her face or is referred to, as rather intriguing. I think it would make a great trademark / feature of all your videos. Keep up the good work. As a subscriber to many successful youtubers I think you need to understand it takes time to build and not get dejected. Good Luck to you and the mystery of the person in yellow.
You meet Yvonne in the latest vlog :-) She's getting the courage up to appear and talk on camera :-)@@MRmUIREND1
I loved this! The intro was wonderful. Beautifully shot and really interesting. Thank you
Thanks for the really thoughtful comment it's massively appreciated. Your observation and comment put a smile on my face.
Your sheep! Theyre adorable ❤🐑
Hi Sarah Jane, I'll let them know you think so when I go and say good morning to them in the field. Never thought I'd have a one sheep let alone a flock. But I have to say they are one of the best things that have ever happened to me. :-) Thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely comment and thanks for spending time on our little channel. Hope to see you here again.
@SimpleLifeScotland I will wave across the water! 😄 I am moving to Easdale Island in the Spring 😊
@@sarahjaneross2918 That’s awesome :-)
@@sarahjaneross2918 Spending 2 days in Oban for a HIE event so as we had some spare time headed over to Ellenabeich for lunch and took the opportunity to wave at Easdale. Easdale looked lovely from across the water :-)
@SimpleLifeScotland
As a year-round outdoor swimmer, it's absolutely perfect with endless swim spots!
No cars on the island, while obviously having certain drawbacks is one of the peaceful things I am most looking forward to 🥳
Love this. Reminds me of my childhood, grand parents trips during summer hols. I live south of England but my family and I get up when we can. Bit of island hopping next year. Can't wait. Great editing and moody. Love it. Be safe
Enjoy your island hopping next year :-) Thanks for the great feedback and support :-)
Thank you. Seeing these types of videos brings us closer together.
New video on its way this week :-) I hope hope you enjoy it as well.
@@SimpleLifeScotland Looking forward to it.
Hi Shaun just a quick message to let you know we've just uploaded a new vlog :-)
@@SimpleLifeScotland Thanks for letting me know as I am a YT junkie this will satisfy my addiction. ;)
I have sought out and lived in wide open lonely places. One thing I learned, before the internet was invented, was that one has to be able to spend quality time, enjoyable time alone. And I don't mean with a Walkman on listening to a single cassette tape over and over, but that used to help. I mean alone like a hermit, no internet, no phone no one to talk to.
Weeks would go by like that and it was educational, but I'm not sure it's even possible to find now. Too many connections to the rest of the world.🥰
Hi blackbird, it's still possible no problem at all ...in Australia! Three hours north of my city you have about a million square kilometres where there's only sand dunes, spinifex, mulga trees, emus and a few cattle can be seen. More camels show up here than anything else! (Escapees from Afghan cameleers that predated the transcontental trainlines) Most people just drive through due north or south stopping only for petrol every three or four hundred kilometres. Neither looking left or right. Robyn Davidson wrote about this country, it hasn't changed its character much in forty years.
@@pipfox7834 I bought Robyn's book, and enjoyed the movie. Yes it is still possible but disconnecting from electronics seems to be like detoxing from a drug for many people.
John Muir said it: "Most people are on the the world not in it."🥰
*I've never been to Australia but it looks gorgeous. The outback seems peaceful and serene.
@blackbird5634 yes, John Muir had the clearest eye... for sure! I've been keen to move to the Flinders Ranges for a while, but timing not quite right as yet. I guess a lot of trail walkers are wearing ear buds when I ve seen them, now I thin k of it. Sad. Yes the outback is a place where all you hear is the wind! After the dawn Chorus is past...
@@pipfox7834 In the US the Appalachian Trail has become a tourist thing. The hikers walk with ear buds, ultralight packs, they fund the trip between college and a job. The real hikers, and some practically live out there, are a rare breed.
IF you come to the states, consider the Continental Divide Trail. Long, rugged, way out of the way, and it's not overly traveled cuz it's tough.
*Look up ''Ice Beard Surfers of Lake Superior." -We have our own Zen masters, sages of wisdom and insane isolation!! They never live the same day twice.
Absolutely stunning film work. What was the music you used in the first segment?
Hi James thanks. I'll dig out the information and let you know.
now thats what I call seas!!
An epic day :-)
I can’t wait to see see some more videos, and I know how much effort they take to put together, and you are probably very busy, so how about some quick mobile phone snippets to keep us up to date. No gimbal required 😂
Hi Paul we'll be back editing our footage very soon, we've been doing some exiting stuff. Sorry it's taking a bit longer than I had planned. Thanks for the support and positive encouragement.
So beautiful ❤ do you ever receive visitors that can help you? Volunteers. I would love to volunteer 😊 have a lovely day
Hi there, thank you for your lovely message and wonderful offer. Such a kind thought.
@@SimpleLifeScotland 🥰
amazing :)
Thanks for the positive vibes :-)
fun channel, love it...have now subscribed...beautiful footage, gorgeous, I would have loved to have seen the storm:)
Hi there and thanks for subscribing it's really appreciated. I very grateful for the kind words :-). The storms here are spectacular, if you should ever get the chance it's a place worth visiting in the winter :-). What did you think of the other vlogs?
@@SimpleLifeScotland still watching in between working but am looking forward to more
Scottish weather is very similar to Newfoundland
Are you based in Newfoundland?
Newfoundland gets a lot colder…..
Great video!
It looks like you only posted 3 videos and nothing in a year!
That’s a shame I really enjoyed this one.
Hi Yes it turned into a crazy 12 months. Back in control of things now so new vlogs on the way :-) Thanks so much for taking the time to write, it's really appreciated.
@@SimpleLifeScotland that’s great news to hear. I look forward to seeing more :)
We were wondering, the sheep live in a field of grass, but they wait for you to feed them grass. What's in the bag of grass you feed them?
Although the sheep live in the grass field we also give them hay (Dried Grass) in the winter. The hay is to ensure they have all the energy they need to stay healthy and happy.
Hallo, how are you doing now? Still there in Tiree? Can you give some up to date maybe? I would love to see a bit more, to know how life is now? I hope everything ok with you guys? Greetings from Switzerland
Hi Tania. All is good and yes we are on Tiree. It's been a crazy, crazy year which just didn't leave us any time to turn our video into vlogs. But we are back on top of everything and now pulling together vlogs to recap on the year. Once they are done we'll be back to more regular posting. I hope you enjoy the new vlogs as much as we enjoy making them. How has your year been?
@@SimpleLifeScotland thank you so much for ansewering me. Happy to hear you are all right. I am looping forward!! I love scotland, having lived 7 years there. Now i am in switserland, moving soon to belgium.hope to pass one Day and i am willing to help if i can. It is so good what you are doing!!!!
Take care of you and your love ones!!!
Tania
I've seen more trees in a multi storey carpark. I wonder what native trees were once there?
I agree. I'm told that Tiree was once covered with trees but many many many years ago when 1000's of people lived here(Due to kelp farming) the trees were all cut down to fuel fires etc. I will dig out more information to make sure my memory is serving me correctly :-) I could be completely wrong. But, I do remember having a conversation with someone about it when we first moved here. But, I never checked to see if it was correct.
Checking a local bog or peat marsh will give clues. Maybe a type of Spruce or Pine once flourished.@@SimpleLifeScotland
Where can a get a Woolly hat?
Hi Ron you can head over our little website www.welan.co.uk Thanks for asking.
@@SimpleLifeScotland cool! Thanks!
Anytime. I hope you enjoy our other vlogs, more on the way.@@ronzombie6541
Such a wonderful video. Surprisingly low subs
Just a wonderful exciting video.
I discovered you guys today and absolutely love your dramatic and interesting videos which bring natural things into focus for other people!
I live in Kona Hawaii, a more soft and gentle variety of island life and I follow my friends from other remote islands in the world who strive to get people to focus on the small things.
I am going to introduce you to the other film makers tomorrow morning ( it’s evening here in Kona now)
You must see the incredible videos of Rahel Stadler who creates stupendous art in the Azores and our friends The tough Children of Jill and Grant Kelly who are carrying on the family SCUBA diving business on the extremely remote Island in the Morovo Lagoon in the Solomons Island group in the Deep South Pacific-check Them out
Hi there, thank you so much for the amazing and kind words. It's great to meet other islanders around the world. Thank you very much for telling others about our little channel we really appreciate it. We feel very lucky to live on our remote island home and, we're learning how to show the rest of the world one step at a time on CZcams. I hope - with each video - we get a little better at telling our stories. Sorry it took so long to reply it's been a crazy island day :-)
I never worry about waiting for a reply-there is life to contend with
The music is very apt - did you compose it?
HI Paul, No we didn't compose it we're not that clever. But you are right it is lovely music.
Okay - so!
How do these work:
Electricity, Internet, drinking water, mobile communications (if not via your Internet solution) - & heating.
We have all of the usual utilities on the Island and the internet seems to be faster than the mainland. We also have the most amazing health services I've ever experienced. From my experiences I've always been able to see a doctor on the island on the same day as I call them sometimes within the hour. I've also had a minor operation on my leg on the island the day I spoke with the doctor.
One storm, One hurricane, has so much energy, its more than humans put out by Human activity for a whole year...one big storm, so our human out put in energy is like a joke. TH
It's powerful, intense and inspiring.
What do you do for a living...
Hi Roger, our woolly hats are our main focus. Thanks for taking an interest.
Love your Landy, can you tell me what roof rack you have on it.
Hi Gary It's a Safety Devices Expedition Explorer with a Birch Ply floor and rear ladder. I hope that helps.
@@SimpleLifeScotland yes thank you, love what you do. Keep it up.
@@garycotton1916 Thanks
Pity that beanie hat has a tag right where his eye is - very distracting when he is trying to talk. Have tog o watch all the vids now - looks like a place I'd love.
Hi there thanks for watching :-) Sorry the little tag on my hat distracted you, I'll remember that for next time :-) Just in the process of editing the next one :-) I really do appreciate you giving your time to watch our little CZcams channel it means a lot. I hope as time passes we get closer to creating good content. Each time is another step in the learning curve :-)
Why did you stop blogging?
Hi Louis, thanks for the question. The last 12 months have been crazy (in a good way). New vlogs are on the way I hope you enjoy them as much as we've enjoyed the crazy year they cover. Once we've updated everyone we'll be back to regular vlogs and lives.
its really sad whats happening on your island at the moment. Their policy with regard to tourists is at worse mafia thinking. Good luck to the island who will lose all its tourists I hope. Regards Rob.
Rob what do you mean? It's an amazing place for tourists, the more the merrier. I just wish we had a much bigger ferry. A large number of our friends are people who enjoy and visit the island. Please tell us more.
Have you see the www.VisitTiree.com website?
@@SimpleLifeScotland Hi there. Its regarding the island limits on campervans and that they must prebook campsites. All campervan arrivals are now at some sort of Nazi checkpoint where their accomadation booking will be checked or numberplate sent to the island police to hunt down and find.
@@cemeteryguestrob9745 Hi Rob as far as we are aware there are no limits on freedom of movement (Outside of Covid 19 restrictions - that's totally different) and if any website, article or platform says any different they should expressly list any law or bylaw enforcing the restrictions (Outside of Covid 19 restrictions - that's totally different). I don't think they can legally but I'm no expert my understanding is - but as I say I'm no expert: "As long as a person has the "permission of the landowner" you can park-up". Just like anywhere on mainland Scotland - but correct me if I'm wrong. You're more than welcome to park on our land and you'll find there are many more people who feel the same. As far as we are aware in Scotland there is still freedom of movement and free choice (Outside of Covid 19 restrictions - that's totally different). I'm told, some ferry companies may ask for the information but I've also been told there is no obligation to submit the information. As long as you are not breaking a law or committing an offence I would assume as people in a democratic Scotland you're free to make your own choices. But if I'm mistaken I'm happy to be corrected.
@@cemeteryguestrob9745 Sometimes, I get the impression that a few want to be the last person standing on their own tiny island. But, thankfully, they're a minority - sometimes a loud minority. But such is life. You are more than welcome and if you do visit there will be a warm welcome waiting for you :-)
