Hi everyone, hope you're well and you really enjoy the video. I'm sorry for not publishing anything for a while. I don't know why, but I've been struggling a bit with RU-vid lately and found it difficult to post. I'm sure I'll get my mojo back soon 🙂 My dad taught me to fish on Loch Shin in the Scottish Highlands when I was just five. It's been a great source of joy throughout my life, and has instilled a deep love in me for the Scottish countryside & nature, for which I'm very grateful. My dad is in his 90's now and we've been fishing together for about 45 years - and I cherish every trip we make. Take care everyone and thanks so much for watching - I'm very grateful. Best wishes, David
Thanks so much - that's so kind of you and much appreciated. Spending time with loved one's in beautiful places is a real blessing and something to be treasured :-) Take care & thanks for watching. All the best, David
Hi Jeff, hope you're well and thanks for taking the time to watch. It's a really special place and it's always lovely to spend time with my dad. It's not so easy for him now he's in his 90's but he's a real trooper. Hope you have a lovely week. Warmest best wishes & thanks, David :-)
Hi David, Thank you for sharing this video. You are very blessed to be able to still enjoy your father's company and sharing a life long passion. Christine says it's lovely and very touching. The place looked absolutely amazing.
Hi Phil & Christine, hope you're both well and thanks for watching - I always deeply appreciate it. Yes, we're very lucky to have fished all these years, we've had a few adventures, and hopefully many more. It really is the most beautiful spot and we're exceptionally lucky to be able to fish there. Hope you're enjoying your woodworking - you're absolutely amazing at it. I still have your beautiful mats in pride of place. Take care of yourselves and have a lovely week. All the best, David :-)
Nothing like the beauty of nature to give you that 'joie de vivre' , Loch Shin really is an oasis of serenity that you have captured so well ! ( looked it up on the map , could well of passed it several times back in the day ) , did not realise that was your father until the end of the video which made it very poignant especially after reading your messages , i hope you get the chance to get together as often as possible and make the most of every precious moment , all the best David
Thanks so much Aidan, really appreciate you watching and all your kind words. It was a very special video to make, and really nice to be able to record a day's fishing with my dad. We've fished through the decades and been to many lochs, but this is definitely one of the most beautiful. Hope you have a lovely week. Warmest best wishes & thanks, David :-)
Absolutely beautiful! Sharing this lovely place brings such peace & tranquility to the soul! The scenery here is truly enchanting! The beauty of this magical place is enhanced by such outstanding filming & footage! What a lovely way to spend such quality time with your Dad! Also, what a treasured memory this will make for many years to come! Thank you David for sharing this delightful experience! Blessings to you & to your Dad!
awww, thanks so much Annie, that's so sweet of you and much appreciated :-) Yes, it really is the most beautiful loch, and I only wish that I'd been able to spend a little more time filming, but it's still a lovely record of our day. Dad is in his 90's now and his love for the outdoors & fishing is as strong as ever, even if the body isn't quite as willing :-) Thanks so much for watching Annie and all your kindness - it's so much appreciated. Have a lovely week, all the best, David :-)

Thanks so much Alan - so glad you enjoyed it and to find out you're a fisherman too is fantastic :-) It's the best way to get truly connected with nature & the outdoors and, as you rightly say, it's very peaceful & relaxing - a real tonic for the soul!. Hope work's going ok and you're not working too hard. Thanks as always for watching - you've been there from the start and I'm really grateful. Take care of yourself and I hope to have another video or two out before Christmas. All the best, David :-)
Hello David, beautiful video, as always, but this one is a bit special. Had to look it up to make sure I got it right but for you and your Dad….Izaak Walton…No life is so happy and so pleasant as the life of the well-governed angler. Keep safe . Clive.
awww... thanks so much Clive - a wonderful quote, which I completely resonate with :-) We're very blessed to be able to spend time together in such a special place, and I'm glad I was able to capture it on film. Memories are so important and I think that's one of the reasons I love photography so much. Hope you're doing ok. You're always so kind & supportive to me for which I'm eternally grateful. Take really good care of yourself and thanks for always being there :-) Warmest best wishes & thanks, David
