Did you know James Bond died here? Me neither, but to be honest, that's probably the least impressive thing about Kalsoy. Join me on a ferry across to the island from Klaksvík, a bus along the full length of its spine (and through a number of scary tunnels) before we arrive in Trøllanes, a tiny community right at the northern tip. From there, we'll hike the remaining way to the lighthouse along a ridge which I'm trying hard to forget about :D The view from this point is like nothing else I've ever seen - I'd love to hear what you think about it? And the Kalsoy adventure doesn't even end here. On the way back we have an unexpected stop at a breathtakingly beautiful village with a story to tell. Join me on the final part of my Faroese adventure. Thanks for watching.
Filmed on Wednesday 14th June 2023 on location in The Faroe Islands.

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You might not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation.
FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature as often as possible, but I'm afraid she has a proper job so it can take weeks for our schedules to match up.
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links below for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for RU-vid Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.
Donate here to future videos: (thank you!)

My grandma grew up in Trøllanes, in that red house in town with the number 4 on it, and that tunnel wasnt made until 1985 when she wouldve already been almost 40- What they did before was either get there by boat, or hike across the mountains to get to Mikladalur. The landing was notoriously harsh with currents and no natural harbour, and the hike was dangerous in anything but dry weather, so it really was incredibly isolated. It is amazing how much fun kids were able to have growing up there, and how much fun I had whenever I visited when I was little.

I read this in Variety: "A gravestone for James Bond has been erected on the small island of Kalsoy, which is part of the larger Faroe Islands located between Norway and Iceland. It was on the Faroe Islands where Cary Fukunaga shot parts of the climax of “No Time to Die,” in which James Bond (Daniel Craig) dies in a missile explosion after thwarting the villainous Lyutsifer Safin (Rami Malek). The island was used as the setting for Safin’s evil lair. As reported by Time Out, the gravestone is located next to the Kallur lighthouse and reads: “In Memory of James Bond, 1962-2021.” “No Time to Die” marked the end of Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond, which also included the films “Casino Royale,” “Quantum of Solace,” “Skyfall” and “Spectre.” The decision to kill off Craig’s bond shocked moviegoers and critics, although a stinger at the end of the movie’s credits promised fans that Bond would return in the future. In addition to erecting the gravestone, Faroe Islands is also offering a James Bond Sightseeing Tour that brings guests to “No Time to Die” filming locations.".

I currently live on the North-Western coast of Norway, I've lived and travelled across the Norwegian coast from Lofoten to Viken, and even I am just amazed by the images you captured here. That should tell you something. The ocean has really kicked some amazing shapes into these isles. And how fun it is to listen to the locals occasional talk in the background. It's like listening to my native language but without understanding a single word of it. It sounds like someone has such a deep and heavy Nordmøre/Trønder/Helgeland dialect where I can only understand every forth word or so. Faroese doesn't sound like that when I've heard it on radio and TV(maybe they speak "properly" for camera or interviews?) - then it sounds more like Icelandic to me - but when it's just locals muttering their words casually it really sounds more like a Norwegian dialect from somewhere on the coast between Kristiansund and Vega.

@@The-KP Ah....It is actually "Faroe" Islands, and Faroe is the Norse word for "Sheep". You could, and still do, turn the hardy Norse-type sheep loose, and just gather them up to shear, or to choose one for dinner. They are tough enough to survive on the island year around.

Shetland doesn't always want to be part of Scotland. As in Orkney, there are those who would like Shetland to be returned to Norwegian rule! Perhaps there could be a federation of northern island groups? Anyway, this is an absolutely beautiful video. I've been to Klaksvik twice to visit a friend and to meet the head of the hospital and the former principle of the hight school. One them told how he/his family kept sheep on Kalsoy or Kunoy (I don't recall which). Sadly I wasn't able to visit Kalsoy, which very clearly demands to be visited! I have to say that the part of the video on the narrow ridge and near the lighthouse triggered my fear of heights! And the sight of the Norrøna reminded me that she used to include Shetland in her schedule -- the only time in the modern era, I think, when one could travel internationally direct from Shetland. Anyway, thanks for these excellent videos of your Faroese trip, Steve. Much appreciated!

@@steve-marsh Little chance of that, with flights replacing sea voyages ... You'll no doubt know that the Smyril line used to dock in Scrabster. More years ago than I can remember I took my bike to to the Faroes this way, pedalling round Streymoy and the other 7 islands to the NE. An utterly jaw-dropping, absolutely gobsmacking experience, with the weather throwing everything from tropical sunshine to heavy snow at me. I've travelled quite a lot and would put the Faroes at or very near the top of the world league, alongside the (very different) Lofoten islands in Norway. You've certainly done justice to them in this highly informative series of videos, Steve. Many thanks to the Google algorithms (ooh - aah - that's AI at work!) for flagging you up ...

Steve, what an incredible trilogy of videos. It seems you arrived in the Faroes the day after I left. It's wonderful to see those beautiful places again through your eyes, and with your stunning footage. You've captured the ups and downs of visiting those magical islands so well, though I didn't have anything quite as dramatic happen as your experience on Mykines in 2015! I was lucky enough to sail on that beautiful Norröna ferry to/from Denmark. Now I'm dreaming of sailing onwards to Iceland someday. Cheers! Tom

Gorgeous! I’m from Oregon in the states and we’re surrounded by trees and I didn’t see a single one on any of the islands there. I loved it! Not that I hate trees but the baren quality and isolation is wonderful. I could live there. No problem. Thanks for posting this. Very very nice!

Thank you, that was lovely. My son has been there but I'm disabled and can't walk so watching this was amazing and the next best thing. I wanted to go to St kilda but my health overtook me. Scotland and the Faroes are truly spectacular. You might consider going to Nuuk as next year the new international airport opens (2024) and Greenland is stunning.

Thank you Steve, an awesome trilogy from the Faroe Islands. My wife and I were in Shetland a few years ago & there was a large sailing boat from the Faroes moored in Lerwick harbour and we said then that we really wanted to go there. You’ve give me extra incentive now. Keep up your brilliant work on the channel, it’s a joy to be part of your travels!

Fabulous video, Steve. On my only visit to the Faroe Islands I was very lucky with the weather too. I didn't get further than the western islands, but I promised myself that I would go back one day, and Kalsøy is now on my must-see list. I've been to quite a few different countries and territorites (99 to be exact), but I think I can safely say that the Faroe Islands is the most stunningly beautiful place I have ever been. Your video just confirms this for me.
@steve-marsh

I've been past the Faroes on a cruise to Iceland and got some stunning photo's of the cloud formations that form on the peaks of the islands, must go there myself one day. If you don't like narrow paths then never try Striding Edge near Helvellyn in Cumbria, I did when I was much younger, in a howling gale and I thought my time was up! Excellent video Steve.

Because of the Gulf Stream, winters in the Faroe Islands is not as cold as you might think. Unfortunately, summer doesn't sound very summery, either.

I had no idea how stunningly different those tiny islands are, so thank you for going back and producing this video. I would have been nervous walking up high on that ridge where everything seems to fall back so precipitously from the narrow path. Have you ever been to Switzerland ? If so, perhaps you have walked up or down the upper part of the Niesen (2362 metres elevation), beside Lake Thoune (French spelling), where you need to watch where you place every footstep.

What an absolutely beautiful place. I only returned to Australia (where I'm from/live) a few weeks ago after being in the north of the England for a few months. I think I'll have to fly back soon, and fly up to the Faroe Islands for a few days. I've always wanted to visit. I am not a huge fan of cruise ships (I get seasick very easily) so I will have to fly up like you did. Thank you so much for the video, it really allows those of us on the other side of the world to explore amazing places and live vicariously.

Steve, this must be one of you most astonishing video's ever, together with the previous ones on the Faroe. I remember the Baltics, Gibraltar and a Poland, but this beats them all, exept perhaps some places you've been in Scotland. Thanks again for the inspiration. Next year I 'll try to go there for a while. The good transportation drew me over the line, so thanks for all the info!!

You seams confused, the Vikings never spoke a Celtic or Gaelic language but instead Germanic rooted norse, and on Shetland and Orkney it's been replaced by English.
