I tried living on a tiny remote Scottish island for 7 days. Scotland has many islands, especially on its western coastline. Trying Scottish island living has been something which has been on my bucket list for years so I decided to finally make it happen!
Join me as I head to the tiny Isle of Muck, one of The Small Isles and spend 7 days of simple living in a cute cottage and experience Scottish island life....

A trick that I was taught when I worked on a farm as a teenager - always carry a stick when near cows. They think twice about charging you if you just wave the stick at them. It is useful to use a walking stick anyway beacause it can stop you falling over on slippy surfaces.

11:07 Ruth, the reason why we have separate taps in the U.K. is mostly now tradition and we we are now shifting towards mixer taps finally. When I was a boy in the 70s we had a header tank usually either in the loft our above the hot water cylinder to give added pressure to the water as the hot tank was often upstairs in the property, without it, the hot water would trickle out very slowly because the cold water refill pipe would feed the tank very slowly. With header tanks, they were usually open and would have maybe a sheet of wood on top to keep out any birds or other undesirables that got into the loft. We were always told not to drink the water out of the hot tap as you might even end with the odd spider that had dropped in… yeuch… and so this is the main reason why we had 2 separate taps, one for drinking, the other for washing. With modern boilers, we use pumps to boost the water pressure and as they are sealed, the tanks give clean safe drinkable water (if you like drinking hot water from a tap 😵‍💫🥴)… Sorry about the long explanation… my ADHD affords me the ability to not be concise and to the point … lol 😂 By the way, I love this video and look forward to following your journeys … safe journeys xxx

I WISH they would build some wooden structure to give the cattle ana wild life there some cover from the rain. If I was living there or visiting I would arrange to build a few strong sturdy wooden covers, large enough that 30 cows could rest under there from the rain.

@PeterHedditch 27 дней назад

I think I'm still staggered at the game-changing quality of the aerial video which is now possible, thanks to the automated drone Ruth mentioned in another video. Not just its compact size, but its controller-free programming, enables the filming of documentary-like sequences. I'm particularly impressed by the distance shots. To think that 20 years ago that would have taken a prohibitively expensive helicopter, and even 10 years ago a large cumbersome drone which you had to stay in controller range of. I wish I had had such a device when I explored the other-worldly landscapes of north-west Scotland around Durness, Tongue, and Kinlochbervie in 2013. Keep it up!

Yes, I have seen videos on the the split hot and cold water supply. In the past, the hot water might not be potable since the hot water tank was more of a "bucket" and stuff/animals/insects/etc could fall into the water.

@martinaanandam3620 2 дня назад

I see you often talk about loneliness in these isolated places. At 20 no one told me I will be moving to the mountains and start a life there all by myself, studying monkeys. It was wild enough to irk my iron hearted dad who said 'you with your asthma...in the mountains..you mad?". I actually did it not to be a hero but I needed a job and I love monkeys. However, one thing that surprised me was the lonliness that could creep up on you. I would keep myself busy for the most partof the day but I would be caught off-guard every single day. What helped is knowing that its not permanent (in my case it sort of was) and that you will be back home soon and that this day or moment is not ever going to come back. So keep your focus on the now and reason with the loneliness. In my case, I always managed to call home and get a whiff of civilization and the noises. All said and done ,the point is, don't let the loneliness discourage you from enjoying that moment.

Hey Ruth, a week of near isolation, and wind. Very nice video. Back in '06 I took a 30 day solo trip to Alaska, and though I did speak to folks at gas stops at the least, it was the most time I'd spent alone in my lifetime. It wasn't so bad, I get along well with myself.

Scotland and Japan are similar as mysterious rocky island countries, although they are directly opposite each other. On the other hand, although the food culture is different with the staple food being wheat and rice, I can relate to the beauty of nature.

What a lovely cottage a beautiful escape with modern amenities. The mixer shower hose that attaches to the taps takes me back to my childhood never could get the temperature right. The island looked beautiful in the good weather. I think I could stay but I can relate to the loneliness you felt at one point. Loved the tea room , the food looked absolutely lush. Your filming is wonderful , you capture everything so well and your drone footage is amazing . I can only admire your work and how you edit and put together your vlogs, so professional.

I used to travel alone quite a lot and had Colonsay Backpackers to myself the first time I went there, around 15 years ago. I returned with a large party of friends some years later, as it always gives immense pleasure to share these things with others. They can be pretty windy places - but its all part of the fun, isn't it? Very well done!

You get a different perspective on life when you are cut off from the mainland. I at least had my car on the Isle of Lewis & Harris so I was able to explore a bit but it is a much bigger piece of land. It can be difficult when you have no one to speak to on an island. when I first moved there I could go all weekend without talking to anyone but I soon made friends and island life improved as in the main most people are very friendly. My boss in Glasgow was always surprised why I always spoke about the weather when he phoned me but you are very dependent on the weather for travelling whether by sea or air and whether newspapers and or fresh food and groceries were going to make it across the sea. Cows can become a little unpredictable when they have calves at foot so it is always advisable to give them a wide berth but at least they don't bite. I have not been to those islands but they have a certain appeal and I could hunker down with some good books quite happily. If you like to read the author Peter May has a trilogy set on the Isle of Lewis that I highly recommend.

They have about 60-70 residents and I would love to spend Sept-April out there to see how life is on an island so far away. I would love to visit Muck, spending hours just exploring and taking photos. Loved the cow, she probably felt you were going to get too close to the babies, silly cow. They also have a shop there called "Winterworks" that has craft items from the residents on the island. I hope you didn't have too many groceries to take back with you.

After that dog and now the cow Ruth, promise me you won't visit anywhere where they have Bears. 🐻🐻‍❄🐼🐨 Wow, what a beautiful place. You asked if anyone could live there for a week, well forget that, I want to live there forever I would move in straight away if I could. That shower brought back some great memories of my childhood because that's how we used to shower. Loved the line only bought small bottles of Whisky because I don't think I would have been able to drink a full bottle (ARE YOU SURE) You seemed surprised when you stepped in all that mud,. Ruth what's the name of the island again lol Also I spotted the the edit during your last meal when you grabbed the whisky, you were just about to down it from the bottle then suddenly jump cut and there's a glass on the table Hehehe Day one you weren't certain if you could last a week but you did it 👍👍 Another fantastic video, Ruth. Well done getting to the top of that bloody windy hill too. Silly question, however, is camping aloud ?

@ruthaisling 29 дней назад

Haha thank you for watching! I’m surprised you notified that about the whisky at the end 😂😂 I think it is possible to camp but it’s probably best to check with the island first! Hopefully I won’t be meeting any bears any time soon!

Cows are very protective of their calves. You need to give them a wide berth. As another poster said, "Carry a stick." Be careful out there.

Hi Ruth, im a newbie to your channel and felt compelled to drop you a wee message. Im in my 40's, from Aberdeenshire and getting out exploring i have found helps with mental health better than anything. I love our country. It is also on my bucket list to spend time in the tiny Scottish isles! Would you possibly mention in any of your places if you know whether they are dog friendly? Thank you for your videos, im binge watching as we speak. They are informative, clear, easy to listen to and a joy to watch so thank you. All the best in your future adventures Ruth 🙂💕

@ruthaisling 27 дней назад

Thank you so much. I can try mentioning it in future. I think Muck would be a good place to bring a dog but you would need to check if the holiday accommodation or ferry accept dogs.

What a beautiful place! Congratulations on finally making it up to the Beinn Airein trig point. Isn't being out in the wind exhausting? I was impressed by the amount of food you brought, but even more impressed that it only cost 80 pounds. It would easily cost double that here in Seattle. This video gives me much to think about for a trip I'm planning to the Shetland islands of Foula and Fair Isle. The boats to both only sail twice a week, weather permitting. So I've been warned to be prepared for a longer stay than planned. Muck appears to be a lovely place to be stuck and the people seem great. I like the book you were reading at the end of Day 1. I have not read it, but it's been recommended by a couple of friends. It would be so cool if you'd bought it at the Bookshop in Wigtown. Muck may have its share of dreich weather, but it does not seem to have dampened your spirits a bit. Good for you. Thanks for another beauty; lots of ideas for my next visit. :)
