This week's full length show takes us on a route through Scotland from Isle of Skye - Eilean Donan Castle - Rum - Egg - Mull - Iona - & Fort William - also taking in spectacular highland lochs and glens. Hope you enjoy it!
I am from South Africa and fell in love with Scotland during my solo tour of 17 days in May 2006! I traveled by bus from Glasgow to Oban, did a three island tour (Mull, Staffa and Iona) traveled by train from Oban to Fort William, went up Ben Nevis with the cable car. Traveled by the Steam train to Mallaig, took the ferry to Isle of Skye. Stayed in the Pink Guest house in Portree, rented a car and explored the Island. I left my heart in Isle of Skye!! Took a bus then a train to Inverness. Bus trip to Edinburgh (O what a city!) i went to Arran, rented a car and explored the island too. I wish I could go back again, but the finances are a problem. Thank you for your videos xx
Went to Skye for two days. Stayed three months. Only departed due to an illness in the family. The Skye people adopted us as locals and our hearts remain there. This was last year and we intend returning at the end of the present tourist season. The magic and history embrace you.
I am from Brazil and the first time I heard of the Isle of Skye was when I was a teenager by 1963... reading The Legend of the Spanish Gold as mentioned in the video. 35 years later - 1998 - I had the pleasure to spend one week in Skye... Fantastic...
I am a Scottish Canadian. I am obsessed with Scotland. Have hiked many a mile all over. The West Highland Way (7 times) is a world class trek. My mother was born in Glasgow (Dickson). When I’m in Scotland I feel as though I am home. I would agree that the narration could have been much more authentic had it been done either by a lad or a lass. The Anglo pronunciation detracts from the soulfulness of some of the magic that is Scotland. Otherwise.......magnificent. The views are stunning.
My dad's grandmother ,born in the mid 19th , according to my dad , launched out a can of Campbell's soup, into the street, having seen it in his mothers pantry. This happened probably sometime in the early 1930's . She shouted at his mother,never to have anything Campbell in the house. A childhood memory of my long gone dad ,who witnessed a form of living history. A family tale coming down the centuries from Glencoe.
Been there and desperately want to return there. What a marvellous land with such an abundance of history, nature, culture and kitchen. Truely, Scotland and its people is one of earth's treasures.
Iam from Bavaria. Which Is a Part of "germany" we had the Time of our live in scotland. To See such a historical beautiful Country was Worth every Pound in the World. The weather was Not a Thing. The Landscapes were Stunning. The People Kind and wonderful. Thank god for scotland. If there Is a god Or any higher Force on Earth , Then scotland Is their work. Thank you scotland and scotsmen for a wonderful Time. We See each other soon !
@Huppe..Thanks for the compliment to Scotland,I am glad you were impressed and enjoyed your stay, Bavaria has beautiful landscapes too, I would love to have the time to visit the area..German people are one of the largest group of tourist to visit Scotland, along with the Netherlands, I sometimes meet and share conversation with Campers from both countries,and their love for Scotland is very much appreciated.. " Haste Ye Back!! " as they say!!
Scotland is a home country of God and his family members *smile and the celts have founded much more nations in Europe and the world .. By the way the bavarians are familiar .. the celtic tribe of the Boier - the younger ones *laugh . the older and first are the Czech ! It was an celtic rouler which built with his three daughters(Princesses) the Golden City Prague!
Rae loved that. I’m Scottish and from Shetland island but we love our history being Scottish and makes us feel very proud. Indeed if god did make Scotland he knew what he was doing as its beautiful
Thank you for creating this journey around Scotland. I pray I get to visit my ancestral homeland before I exit this earth. So much I want to see and do.
I am from Dominican Republic, and I admire the beautiful castles, the relaxing calmed documentaries about the castles of Scotland, the Celtic Culture and other cultures of Medieval Europe, a beautiful time of beautiful castles and smart great warriors
Juan, I am John from Scotland and I have heard and seen many beautiful things about your country too. The Dominican people are lovely and so friendly. Amazing people
LEER FILOSOFIA ES LA UNICA SALVACION DE LA PATRIA I’ve been to DR a couple of times, Puerta Plata and Punta Cana. Lovely people and a beautiful country.
I am from germany and i have been there when i was 18...20 years ago...but i fell in love with this amazing,beautiful,breathtaking Country!!!i visited all this places in the highlands,stood there in the middle of nowhere,in Kyle of lochalsh and met a nice scottish guy too😊had a fantastic time...never forgot and i want to come Back soon...want to Show my family all this places ,to feel the special atmosphere of this Country....i love you scotland,forever!
Ben Skelly I swore the same thing. I saved for two years and went with 4 other ladies and I swear I'll go back. I have to, it's to beautiful not to see again.
My parents emigrated to Canada in the 50's, and I've been to Scotland twice. Very young, I don't recall much but the shipyards made a lasting impression in my memory. I actually wept at the magnificent beauty of the land in this video.
I toured Scotland for seven consecutive years, and camped all the way. I often let the kids decide which route we took, so sometimes we zig-zagged up to the Cape Wrath region, or just hugged the West Coast all the way round to John O' Groats, with detours up The Great Glen. And of course Dunnet Head is the true most Northerly point of mainland UK. Which was my favourite part? why all of it; but especially the Highlands, and Islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides. My only regret, is not 'taking the Gaelic' - yet.
Of all the places in Scotland, the Isle of Mull is my favourite. My Mother used to say how she loved the Isle of Skye, as do I, “but wait ‘til you visit Mull”, I told her. So we took her there on holiday and visited Iona too. The weather was beautiful. Sunny, with a gentle breeze. At the end of our holiday she agreed with my opinion that Skye is a wonderful island, but Mull has something magical about it that we couldn’t put into words.
Thank you. I have been researching my Scottish family tree. Love seeing the locations. Visited once in 2000, enjoyed very much. From Washington state, USA, currently in stay at home order due to Covid virus.
Hi Linda. Just came across this video and noted your post. I too have been researching my Scottish family ancestry. My paternal MacIver and Morrison ancestors came from Isle of Lewis and Harris in the 1880's to settle in and around Lac Megantic, Que. I already had quite a bit of history of the ones who arrived but not of their ancestors. My best find for researching outside from Ancestry.com was the volumes of work done by Bill Lawson, and listed at hebridespeople.com. A cousin in Que put me on to this source and the few books I purchased took just a few weeks to clear U.S. customs but the wait for each one was well worth the effort. My maternal ancestors were of Lancaster and Spragues (English) and I had a family compendium that filled in the Lancaster side with complete families of many generations. Been working it for 4 years or so but interestingly you would think that staying at home as much as possible during this pandemic I would have plenty of time for my "hobby' but alas I have been slacking! Anyway, good luck with your family tree research.
I,m a Brit .....and i love the Scots ...but, ive never been there through ill health matters........I hope one day i can visit this magical place....and after watching this vid..Scotland looks just as good as it doe's in my dreams . God bless you all my fellow Island folk
no 1 super guy,HKP quicker than the human eye ,hes got style super style and a car that just wont stop,and when the goin gets rough hes SUPER tough ,with a hong kong phooey CHOP
It’s kind of beautiful that this comment section is filled with so many different languages. People all around the world are able to enjoy the same music, type wholesome comments, and have their days improved while lifting up others too
Beautiful work, brings back memories of my trip there! The highlands are so stunning and breath taking! It is truly worth visiting! The Jacobite train ride was great too!
Ah and in addition to what I said below, fell in love with the Scots, my Keltic cousins. Their women are all beauties and men, poets. Now, retired in Baltimore, recovering from a long illness, dream of those days, with a taste of good Scotch whiskey and a tear in me eye. Love to all the Sons and Daughters of St. Andrew! An Irish American Cousin
'their women are all beauties and men, poets'...that cracked me up. Most scottish women look like wrestlers and the most poetic thing most Scottish men say is 'get tae fuk yae coont'.
As our aerial odyssey draws to a close, we are left with a profound appreciation for the natural wonders of Scotland and the sheer magnificence of its untamed beauty. From the windswept cliffs of the Isle of Skye to the towering peak of Ben Nevis, Scotland from Above in High Definition offers a glimpse into a world of unparalleled splendor and wonder, inviting viewers to embark on their own adventure and discover the magic of Scotland for themselves.
A FABULOUS video which brings back memories of two holidays in Scotland; the first just in Skye, the second - a short few years ago, visiting Skye again, plus Harris & Lewis, Mull and Iona via a total of eleven ferries! Wish I was back . . . on this New Year's Eve! "Should auld acquaintance be forgot . . . "
Karen, Stick to the West coast area of Argyll and Bute, and Lochawe region for more breathtaking scenery like this, and Glencoe is a must. enjoy the visit..the weather is forecast to be not too bad for the rest of October,which helps to see the best of Scotland.
Just back from Inverness, visited Culloden Moor, Ullapool headed north to see the views of the Summer Isles, unfortunately couldn't see Harris and Lewis too cloudy but the view was stunning. Came home through Fort William, visited Glenfinnan, seen the monument and the viaduct, and down through Glencoe, God it was Stunningly beautiful. Will return. Been to Mull from Oban, Iona, Mallaig ferry to Skye. Next time taking the A87 from Fort Augustus to the Kyle of Lochalsh and further north. I am lucky to live in Scotland.
I love Scotland, we climbed up to the Old Man of Stor (first clip), in wind and rain and mist. It was worth it even thouight we couldn't even see the top of the old man! We ended up at Durness, the very top of Scotland. Campervanning all the way.
My family, the Mackinnons once owned a large part of the island of Skye and Mishnish (including Tobhar Mairi/Tobermory) in Mull. We lost it all when the new British Parliament confiscated our estates after the Jacobite Rebellions in 1715 in which my family sided with the deposed Stuart dynasty, kings of Scotland, England , and Ireland. We managed to buy our estates back, but we could not afford the installments , so were forced to sell all of it. Today, the Mackinnons who once held 300 sq kilometers of estates in Skye and Mull with income from some fifteen villages, can only visit these wonderful places and admire the lands we once owned. Many other nationalist families suffered the same fate. Some of them were executed and imprisoned.
My gran was a Mackinnon, she was from Glasgow, she went to St Andrews uni and became a doctor. She loved her tartan and nature and wildlife, she was a true Gael. She used to tell me about Skye.

I love your channel. As a geologist, I appreciate the geology content, as well as the geography and history. I spotted the caldera immediately, of course, and the basaltic cliffs of Skye, they have columnar jointing in places. Thanks from a new subscriber in San Francisco.
31 years since I took the ferry to Skye (no bridge then). Bed and Breakfast with the Cummins Family in Portree. Hiked up high oved the Heather washed peaks. One sunny afternoon, actually saw steam rise up from the woolen rug in my room. That is how damp it was. The Scots are a hearty tribe. Best food I had in the UK was in Skye and the Highlands. Twas a bonny vacation!
I am fortunate to have been to most of these places. Thanks for the video it brought back dreamy memories of my younger years. The Isle of Skye reminds me of a good friend who i lost nearly 12 years ago. We went camping on the mainland over looking skye. Some powerful memories. I want to go to Scotland again one day. Its such an amazing place.
El lugar mas bello de este planeta,,,expectacular de bello,nunca podre olvidar todas estas maravilas existen,,,yo las vi bello pais,,,todo bello,,expectucular trabajo
Scotland is a replica of serenity for its residents as well as the tourists. Almost every natured sight described here, uninhabited by the human civilization, is a sight to behold
EXCELLENT!!! Highly Informative. Direct correlation to historical facts learned long ago! Exciting! Geologically fascinating! A land that has long fascinated my interest is now laid out like a platter! How I recall reading about the McDonald and the MacDougall clans! Now to see the land itself gives me the final perspective I've needed for soooooooo many years! Plus the Viking history! All, Totally Exhilarating! Completion of many books inclusive of encyclopedia books! Not only confirmed my mental images of the topical landscape but added even more! HUGE THANK YOU! 😃 TREMENDOUS THANK YOU! 🤗
One of the best teaching movies about Skye and the Isles. I have been twice on the Isle of Skye and in the Highlands. This is one of the best documentations took in HD on a video ever. The best way to enjoy this video, look it on your Smart TV with the youTube plugin available for the most newer Tv sets. If you´re planning an adventure in your holiday in Scotland this is a "have-to" before you´re go to plan a tour. 5 Stars to the Camera and the Cutter of that movie ! Very good work ! Go further on with such amazing movies of our Planet and - of course - Scotland. Yes for Scotland ! Thank you for this video! yours Jan
I am Serbian Easter Herzegovina(Gacko area). I never been in Scotland maybe one day I will as I have some people that I share DNA. Like names McCready, Wallace, MacKay, McGugan, Gilligan, Mullen, McCrary and more. Stay strong Scotland, Serbs are with you. This means to Ireland as well. Many Greetings!
clan Macmiadhachain here, never been to Scotland, thought my dad's mom was Irish (same dna group as Scott) (her parents "McMeekin (china-ware)". no wonder St Patty's day was never lucky for me :) . mom's mom Shockley from Priscilla Mullins and John Alden (think Alden also Scott) will probably never see Scotland but here :) so many European bloods that share the same dna, Srbin
my gma from Ireland is actually Scottish (McMeekin) from clan MacMiadhachain. still, i like looking at pictures/views of other countries more than i'd want to go anywhere (especially now) (but always wondered why I have 0% "luck of the Irish." I'm sure the "snakes" St Patrick drove out of Ireland were the conqueror clans of my family ..
We had gray weather most of our trip, except the day we climbed Ben Nevis...that day the sun was out all day. Beautiful. One thing I will not forget is driving the highways in a rental car.. somehow we avoided being crushed by the big trucks which fill the roads. Everywhere we drove, cyclists were risking their lives. Scotland is a beautiful, rugged place and you will never forget it if you visit. So much history and archaeology packed into one little country.
I love philosophy and book-reading of classical literature of Hegel, Nietzsche, Machiavelli etc. And I watch about 10 minutes to 15 minutes of these documentaries about Scotland, Celtic cutlure as motivational power for my daily book-reading routines
