Hello shepherders ! lol That was classic. Really though, you did an excellent job of corralling those buggers! It wasn't just one or two either! You know, If you asked what my favorite part of this video was, I'd say the part from beginning to end! Skipping over any moment with you guys would be shameful! Those views, unbelievable. And how about the weather? This may be the first time you didn't encounter any raindrops during any Scottish journeys I've seen here!! Regardless, Scotland is undoubtedly the gift that keeps on giving, and no better than a lovely couple to brilliantly present it to us❤

Your book arrived on Weds for me to take for a good read at Easter in Cornwall ( Scotland later in the year) I if am truly honest I thought here is another book on the NC500. Well talk about having to eat my words !! I am so impressed it has the perfect mix of photos and all the information you will need for your trip without putting ‘ stuff’ in it to fill the pages. The first page I opened on by complete chance was the section on Portmahomack and the mention of Balintore Hotel, both of which I spent many childhood summers with my grandmother who lived in Balintore and happy memories playing hooses on the shore. Fantastic book a real refreshing treat. Very well done to both of you. If you do consider a cook book my name will be on the top of your orders list. Thank you for your videos. Will look forward to each and every one. Have a great Easter to you both. Pamela

Hi folks, new subscriber here. A little advice, you do not have to take it, would be wonderful for us newbies to your channel to have a from the beginning playlist. Also because I believe you are going to be successful and go on to do this for years, breaking it down to a year #1, year #2, year # 3 etc. would be amazing. Love your content, and I love the way you travel. Also, I have noticed that doing collaborations with other RU-vidrs helps to grow your channel. Would love to see you grow so I can continue to live vicariously through your travels.
@highlands2hammocks
@highlands2hammocks 2 года назад
Lovely to meet you Dayn, thanks for the support! And that would be a great idea! I guess the reason we havent done that yet is because we havent really done this consistently since the beginning and because of that there isnt really a constant storyline until we Quit our jobs last year. We have put all of the videos since then into one playlist for people to watch but we might rename it to show it is actually the "beginning" of the adventure 😁

Absolutely stunning scenery. Loved both of the accommodation you stayed in. The canoeing brought back memories of my first time in a tandem canoe which was called The Admiral Benbow, although I don't know why it was called that. My family then went on to own two canoes and we would take them out on lakes and we had fun for many years out on the water. Thank you for also taking us to places and especially in my case now where sadly I would once be able to venture but am now not as able to. Keep living the dream and loving each sunrise/sunset. Looking forward to your next adventure, with or without the sheep herding!!

Please do not park in front of electric car charging points when you decide to go off for a walk (as seen at 2:48 in your video, the sign is right over your shoulder) because this blocks essential infrastructure. In rural parts of Scotland in particular, access to this could save a life, if not just a long journey. The parking spaces either side of the post are only for ev users to recharge their vehicles. They should not be used as parking spaces just because they happen to be unoccupied when you arrive.

Please note, the spaces either side of the post are for charging vehicles only. It’s not just in front of the post. Thanks for your reply though. This is not directed at you personally. It’s the fact that people in general are not aware and with your video showing the issue, it’s worth mentioning. Both the A and B sides are required to be available. Thanks
