My mom would've had a gigantic fit if she saw me putting grease down the sink or wipes/period products down the toilet! I learned early on that this is sooo important. Thanks for showing these beautiful areas to us. 💗
Nice video. Way to make the most of a rainy day! Great public service message too. There is a Norwegian saying “there is no bad weather, only bad clothes.” But I agree that a nice drive and a few wee walks are better on a rainy day than a long hike.
The weather does look not look very rainy so he had to be sponsored by Scottish water. Any the scenery looks good and good for you getting out. I quite like walking in the rain
Migraines are terrible. I used to get them years ago, and that was pretty much the end of the day's plans when it would happen. Tylenol, cold cloth over the eyes and lay down in bed or wherever. I hope you are feeling better now Erin. You know, if you ever need a hiking partner, you can always give me a shout. Of course I will need a couple day's notice as I live on Canada's west coast...lol. I love to hike in the rain...did I mention I live on Canada's west (wet) coast? Love the rain, or at least get used to it...or relocate elsewhere. The scenery there is so beautiful. I really wish I was able to come and visit for a month or two. It's really good that they are cognizant of the pollution issue, and the need to protect Scotland's (the world's) waterways. 👍👍
Wow, I was shocked by litter that beach. The trail my dog and I use has fair amount of litter way too much for me. What I’m noticing is a lot masks, that’s pretty frustrating. Have a fantastic week. I hope your migraine is completely gone. 🇺🇸🏴
Really irritating that companies can state these wipes are flushable when they clearly are not suitable for flushing. Gorgeous scenery and misty mountains, really hope to explore some more up that way this year 😄. Hope you are feeling better, also completely agree about nature being the place to go to lift mood!
I really really love theses vlogs where you’re oot an aboot in the countryside driving to these cool little places and goin on adventures and everything. It’s really nice to get out once in awhile. I remember the Scottish Coaches beach up… sad so much rubbish ends up in the water
i had very similar day here, south texas that is, walking is like meditation for me and weather rain and strong wind today, really took the enjoyment away. oh well real life these days happen. better weather day after tomorrow for another walk.
Scores on this upload: B: Scenery, from what we saw on that Dreich day. A: Erin for being her usual fun and bubbly self. A+: Erin for helping to educate about environmental care and Scottish water.
I could listen to her talk for hours and hours! Love your videos - and so glad you're speaking up for the environment. I'm still working on this. Making the change to try to preserve it beautiful plant.
Lovely video as always, Erin. Watching this made me realize how much I miss my hiking days. Getting out in nature always made me feel better as person. Sitting and watching it rain does sound depressing; one of my first overnight camps developed into a (unexpected) rainstorm. I was sitting and fuming at my now drowned fire, and after a few minutes I simply accepted the situation. After that, it became peaceful. Despite the rain, I think you enjoyed yourself and it was good for you. Great message about the pollution problem, we all need to do a better job of taking care of this planet. Thanks for sharing, your humor and heart always makes my day better.
Dinna ya feel the blood of Ancient Highlanders stirring in your blood when you were walking up the trail. Adverse weather conditions usually inspire deep seated culture heritage that inspire people to take on the challenges in their life. 😂 and help their Badass come out.
Hey we're car twins! Lol same car, same color although mine is a wee bit older... also we always stop at the rest and be thankful on the way to my grandfather's down in Cambeltown. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you for this video, Erin. I enjoy your "lonely walk in nature" kind of videos most. Perhaps the combined effect of your natural honesty and positive personality and the purity and quiet wisdom of nature has a particularly strong cleansing impact on one's soul. It is almost like a kind of psychotherapy. I hope I do not embarrass you with such compliments. Thank you again and best wishes: Peter.
I really enjoy watching your videos where you are walking in the woods and forest as Scottish nature is gorgeous and beautiful too. Do upload more of these please 😊
As a nature person myself I appreciate all of your videos exploring nature and promoting its care. We had a major problem in the past here in Tennessee with litter but now is about non existent. It can only improve through attempts like you are doing to promote awareness. Good job as always
The foggy landscape was still beautiful to view even if you weren't able to get out and walk all the trails. Glad you found some new spots to take us next time the weather is better.
Done the sitting at a table in a hotel bit, moodily watching the rain on the windows and the day slowly ebbing away. Even done the sitting in that very hotel. Walked Beinn Ime twice and not had a view for more than twenty yards either time. I hope you have managed to get out again since you filmed this as judging by my social media the weather has actually been absolutely glorious in Scotland the last few days and has actually been better the further north you go. Scottish Water have launched a long-overdue campaign and it is really good that they have sponsored your video. I have a sad little story about what people should not flush down toilets. A few years ago when there were lodgers in the next house but one I came home from work at lunchtime in pouring rain to find evil coloured water all round the passage at the side of my house. Very soon the foul tide would start threatening my front door. My neighbour and I managed to get drain rods from another neighbour and Brian pushed and pulled the rods while I shovelled. And carried bucket after bucket into the field near my house and emptied them into the hedgerow. Wet wipes were the least of what I shovelled up. I have no idea why folks would want to get rid of their unwanted smalls by flushing them down the toilet but that's what they had been doing for months. And then, thankfully a hot bath. I still stank after a lengthy wallow in the bath.
Ah, the old Holy Loch visible in some of your shots. I stayed on the other side as a kid (back when the US Navy had a base in the area) so I know the area well. Looks like the closed path you came across is one of the ones that lead to the back of Puck's Glen - there's loads of walks in the area.
Hey just a wee heads up…on weather apps when it says for example 40% rain. That’s not the chances of it raining, it means that 40% of that area is likely to get rain 😌
I love the hiking videos. Speaking as someone that has in the past flushed wipes in toilets I know why its done. People never think of were it ends up but just that it goes a way some how. Scottish Watters have a great message. Plastics and chemicals in the Earth's oceans and other water supply is a major problem that ends in our bodies. LastWeek Tonight with John Oliver done an episode about PTFE such Teflon and how it has gotten into everyone's bodies from plutoed water and caused heath problems. Also Doctor Who has an episode in series 12 called " Praxeus" that deals with the plastics in the oceans of the earth. Plastics and chemicals in the earth's bodies of waters is a problem that needs to be dealt with, and has already gotten out of hand. Thanks for the great environmental Message. Love the video.
Thank you for sharing you wee adventure. America has the same issue with wipes. I agree with you 100% bin the wipes. #binthewipes. Hope you are doing better.
Love the Scottish scenery! Glad you got to spend some time in nature exploring too. Hope the Scottish water campaign goes well. Enjoyed this! Thanks Erin!
From the photos and videos I normally see of Scotland I tend to think of it as pristine. That garbage patch you showed would seem to feel right at home here in Ohio, a state not particularly known for its scenery. But human instincts everywhere predate large settlements and the invention of plastic.
I've been watching your videos because I'm trying to learn to fake a Scottish accent for my dnd game lol. Really loved hearing about you talking about banning wipes because of how they aren't good for the environment. I used to use them all the time and felt bad about it (didn't flush them though) but I've finally moved to CeraVe Micellar water and cotton pads! (I know the cotton pads have issues too but they are *much* better than what I was using). Anyways, love your videos and keep being the lovely you that you are. 💜Also, as my Norwegian in-laws always love to say...there is no bad weather, only bad clothing!
new sub here love the positive vibes , your werewolf stories was good to i had encounters to crazy stuff out there in this world. stay jammin in life much love from usa,
Hey Erin another great video.Sorry about the"funk" feeling hope it goes away for good. We also have a real problem here in America with the wrong things being flushed that shouldn't.Thanks for making people aware.

Beautiful scenery, well-chosen music, nice ! As for the rain ? Eh. Grew up innit, Vancouver , B.C. B.C. youl'd prally get bored of : it's too much the same ! Clothing, yeh. No such thing as bad weather, just poor clothing choices.BTW, either you're not wearing make up ( which I kinda doubt ) or you're going' for the " natural" look. Working ! Fresh as a spring daisy ! Not gettin' older, just better. Thanx for another moving heiland walk with thee.
As someone who once worked on a project that involved putting some very expensive electronic equipment down a sewer and having to deal with it when it came back up, can I just say DON'T FLUSH WIPES OR ANYTHING SIMILAR DOWN THE TOILET!!! Jeez!!! Things that can be flushed are pee, poo and toilet paper. Nothing else!
Yes, hiking-regardless of whether or not it goes all according to plans-certainly is known to be a very healthy activity…That said, I’m sure if I enjoyed the outdoors as much as I’ve observed you to in your Videos, I probably wouldn’t be carrying around those few unwanted pounds…My sister is health conscious, though, whereas I am ignorant as to which foods are healthy and which foods are unhealthy…My sister knows how to make healthy choices whereas I’m always on the “See-Food Diet”…My sister is very active, as you appear to be in these Videos… . I’m curious as to whether you’ve ever done Videos about the differences between the Irish Accent and the Scottish accent…If you do, in fact, have such a Video, please identify it for me within a Reply to this Comment; otherwise, I’m putting in a Video suggestion/request for Irish VS Scottish Accent…Being American, I find that I’m often unable to truly differentiate between the two accents… . I’ve selected the “Open Transcript” option and then Copied & Pasted the Transcript into an E-Mail to my friends (who are deaf), and they’ve read that whole Podcast in one sitting…For all the “Haud Yer Wheesht” Podcasts, I’ve been Copying & Pasting the Transcript into E-Mails to my friends, so they can Read the Podcasts (as they’re deaf and, thus, can’t hear at all)…Although my friends mention that they’re unfortunately incapable of listening to Music (unless it’s through vibrations) and, thus, headphones are entirely useless to them (beyond being an “Over-Sized Paperweight,” I suppose), they say it’s nice that “Hearing” people can have favorite music and singers/songwriters to lift their spirits and make themselves feel happier…My friends mention that they enjoy Horror films too while, meanwhile, I’m more like Tammy/Moscow (“WeeScottishLass”) in that I often wait until October/Halloween Season to break out the Horror films…Usually, I end up joining in with my friends as they have Horror Movie Marathons throughout October, but meanwhile I find that I have a lot of English Subtitles to ignore, as my friends always have the CC turned on whereas I don’t need it, so they hand me the remote controller so I can set the Volume Level to wherever I like it, as they realize that I’m “Hearing” and am too lazy to read all that text, LOL…I’ve expressed my opinion to my deaf friends my opinion that between you, Scott, and Tammy/Moscow, your accent is the strongest…My friends said they had no idea, as the Auto-Captions typically work very well on you, as they usually don’t get confused when reading your Captions…My friends say they often follow along with the Podcasts fairly well (as they’re reading them), as you guys typically blurt out one another’s names as you’re talking with one another, which indicates for them who’s saying what…My friends tell me they haven’t “Read” this Video yet, but they’ll be sure to do so soon…
