Scotland is just the prettiest wee country in the world ❤️
Ain’t it just 😁😁
Love you both. Your enthusiasm for life really cheers me up. Your videos are exceptional. Well done.
Aw cheers Craig! 😁
Stunning scenery and beautiful seas today guys, the drone filming adds spectacular viewing & perspective, a real good advert for the highlands! Thank you. Dave.
So glad you enjoyed it Dave 😁 thanks for the support!
Thanks, for the shout-out, was lovely to meet you both! Graham & Andrea x
Aw it was so lovely to meet you Andrea! Thanks again 😁 Hope you enjoyed your trip!

Oh my heart is thumping - you know how I love that wee corner of this wide and Bonny Land... but it aches too at the thought you are taking off and away from it! I'll still be loving watching and sharing your travels... and sometimes, the best way to appreciate what one has is to go in search of other... This was a stoater of a vid showcasing how this wee country can hold its head high. See you next week young uns! YAM xx
Thank you Yam! ❤️ We just know that we will be missing Scotland after a week or two and will be so happy to get home again haha excited for some adventures further afield!
Been to Scotland 3 times but haven't been since 1987. Planning a trip to first time trip to ireland this summer but damnit you guys are making me long for Scotland!
Hope you enjoy your trip 😁😁
Another great video - just beautiful - how lucky are we to live here. Was a pleasure to meet you in Aldi car park the other day! Have a great trip.
Such a pleasure to meet you too 😁 take care!
So stunning that scenery ! Amazing . Look forward to hearing your exciting news !
Aw so glad you enjoyed it 😁 Cant wait to share it tonight!
Just found your videos ..amazing ..wonderful
Great video again guys. Know that area well. Loved the drone footage.
Thanks Dougie! Glad you enjoyed it!
Going to miss your Scotland travels xxx😢
We will be back soon 😁
Great video, scotland is for sure in my bucket list for travel, love your channel
thank you 😁
Bonny Scotland 🏴 she never fails to impress with her beauty.
So very true 😁
great video guys, gutted I didn’t get to meet you in Uig! Safe travels wherever you go to next and can’t wait for the next vid. take care G&C, all the best. mark
Thanks Mark! I know, I'm sorry we couldn't swing by. This trip has honestly been such a whirlwind as we tried to hit our deadline before we left the country. Will be back up that way in future I am sure!
When I lived on the Black Isle I took many trips up the Bealach Na Ba and took many photos from the summit. This drive always inspired me to do it again and again in all seasons. Just once I went to Applecross. In those days it was photos and a video road trip.
It’s such an incredible place 😁
Hi Gemma Campbell,great and very interesting blog your the best bloggers out there ,so much looking forward to your next exciting venture,so pleased you are going to be writing another book to be asked yo write it is fantastic,what beautiful scenery and beaches the water was so clear unbelievable,till next time take care keep yourself safe,John 🌺🌸🌹🌷🌞👍👏🙏🤗💭💭😜
Thank you John! Always appreciate the kind words 😊❤️ take care mate!
Another excellent episode.best of luck on your new adventures
Thank you! 😁
Hi both, I think Scotland should be one of the seven wonders if the world as its just breathtaking. I know now why I fell in love with scotland and Highlands on my first visit. 😍
Absolutely right! We do love it and are always amazing 😊❤️
We love a new adventure. When one door closes, another opens 🎉
For sure 😁
Ooo excited to see where you're of to next!!
Can’t wait to share 😁☀️🌅
When we did the NC500 it started pouring for three straight days when we arrived at Gairloch going anti clockwise and we gave up and headed south. Bealach na Ba is unfinished business and your drone work was spectacular. I am just struggling with the notion of being excited at leaving Scotland. I spend all my time between visits wanting to be back. (last there in May and back in August/September!)
Aw I feel you with the rain 😂 that’s one of the reasons haha we just want dependable weather and some unknown again! Distance always makes the heart grow fonder though and I know we will be desperate to return soon enough 😁
This brought back so many great memories of our recent honeymoon,
Aw so glad! What a beautiful place to honeymoon!
Thank you Gemma and Campbell for your videos i have really enjoyed them. Sad to hear its ur last video of the highlands. Take care.
Thanks James! Really appreciate the support 😊
I'm gettin' a little tired of Gemma smashing my face. ; - ) Another nice video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Some magic acts don't need things like rabbits and hats. The show that Scotland puts on is purely magical and has a stage all its own. No better presenters than you two either. I had legit chills from those final scenes. Unreal. I felt a wistfulness in this video too...but stoked for the next journey. And honestly I can't venture a guess as to where the destination is (haven't peeked on your IG, yet! hehe)
So very true Scott 😁 thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! We reveal all in todays episode haha 😆🇬🇷
I wish I could get pies in Toronto canada, first tried them in UK what a fabulous alternative to burgers!
Aw they are so tasty! Best I have had since Australia, they are mad about pies over there!
Great video as always! Well done Gemma emptying the loo! Very proud of your book about our homeland! Good luck with the next one. Would you ever collaborate with other vanlifers in the future? Just wondering. Safe travels!
Haha thank you 😂 We definitely want to do that this year! Just so hard as we have been on a proper schedule with different books to research up until now. Going forward we want to do a lot more of that though 😁
Hi guys re your surf board attachment aluminess in the states have brackets that are quite slimline and fold against the side of the van when not in use and take up no more room that this width of your wing mirrors when in use check them out and see if you can get something made in the uk
That sounds fantastic! Will need to look into this 😁
I remember camping in my tent at the bealach and woke up to a white out. I had to crawl down at 5mph towards Applecross . I passed the gritter who was going up. He must have wondered where I had come from in my wee Peugeot 208.
Wow what an experience! haha that is definitely offgrid camping
I am sorting out my nc500 trip right now,( I go in August). For some reason I have accrued 3 copies of your book over the last few weeks. It is great but I still have no idea how I have ended up with three of them🤔😁. All the best and thanks for the videos.
That’s strange 😂😂 ah well, be sure to give them out to friends and tell them to subscribe too 😜
Such a beautiful trip. Sadly is still on the bucket list. Kids won us over and heading foreign this year after many years of no trip, Scotland will be ticked off one day. Thanks for showing us.
You will need to get up here one day soon then 😁
@@highlands2hammocks foreign holiday got the better of us. But yes one day for sure.
i did belach na ba on 17th june at 6am, it was soo misty and raining i couldnt see nothing, was hoping for that view, was so tempted to return in the evening as it was clear skies but headed to isle of skye instead
You need to get so lucky to see it in all of its glory haha we didnt get to see it last time either but got lucky this time 😁
Beautiful!
Thank you! ❤️
The expawers has a very rigid blow up paddle board with folded down compact.. Sure it could be used as a surf board
Happy Travels
Very interesting! That would definitely help us in the van haha
They are on you tube 😀
Just looking and there are vertical racks available for the rear of motorhomes , take bikes as well
Yeah we had thought of that but are paranoid about theft haha roof would be harder to steal from
Fab video guys. X
Thank you 😁
Scotland is just amazing and Skye has stolen my heart, each time I go back I feel that I’ve come home. I won’t be able to make it back until autumn and it feels like an eternity.
Good luck with your future travels
I absolutely agree with you! Every time we go back it’s amazing 😁❤️ hope you have a fantastic trip!
We're so lucky in the GB to have 4 great home nations so many beautiful locations! Scotland just stunning! really enjoyed your vids travelling around there! Looking forward to your next adventure!👌👍
Could not agree more, Britain really is great! As you travel around it, you have got to marvel at the diverse sights and scenery.
Absolutely! So much to be seen 😁
You can hook the surfboard to the roof in the inside maybe
Had thought about that, it would just limit the light we get from the sunroof and also would get water everywhere inside the van 😞
Can you specify where the Lairg viewpoint is? I tried to look it up, but came up with multiple results, none of them seeming to be the right one. I loved the views you shared :)
I think I may have made the name up 😂 if you continue north past the turn off to achmelvich (coming from lochinver) then you will see it in your left after about 5 mins
Hellow from ireland your vids are great wat do you guys use for the midges the wee feckers we were on skye last week and we were eat alive we were told Avon skin so soft it did not work
Thank you 😁 well there isnt much I can recommend for midges haha some sprays such as Avon Skin so Soft and a good midge net to put over your head, but nothing really works apart from hiding 😂
Not being a surfer and I don't know how long a board is, but could you fit 2 boards on a bike rack on the rear of the motorhome
It’s about 8ft we use 😊
Magic 😎eps when you get the beach ⛱ to yourself little bit paradise
Definitely a lucky night out when that happens!
💖💖💖💖💖
😁
👍👍👍
😁😁
The views are sensational. Question: are the roads you travel dual direction and some one-ways only? In the last part of this video the road seemed not wide enough for 2 vehicles .
Aren't they just?! ❤️ yeah in the highlands the roads switch between two-way and single track with passing places as there is not much traffic so you don't meet anyone often 😊
Can you get inflatable boards?
Never heard of inflatable surfboards but that would be a brilliant option if true 😁
@@highlands2hammocks Ive no idea really, just throwing suggestions out there :)
Are you going on the Jacobite Steam Train?
We are indeed! Doing that tomorrow and can’t wait 😁
Enjoy. I’ve never been able to get tickets.
Gemma looks far too glamorous in the little black dress & sunglasses to empty the toilet!!
Haha I would have to agree but it’s always funny 😜
oh no gloves on naughty especially emptying poo xx
Haha yeah we probably should 😂
