11:00 There's something incredibly surreal (and emotional to me for some reason) about the contrast between the ancient moss covered tombs and the pristinely smooth modern protective cement "caul" that encases it. The sunlight streaming in through the open skylights seems to really enhance the feeling.
Your best yet… gorgeous photography, jaw-dropping drone shots and fascinating insights into the history. Just jam-packed with content, I was transported for a wonderful half-hour to the Orkneys. Thanks so much!
Your videos are so much like the classic travel shows I used to love growing up. Production is great and always full of interesting info and of course, so well presented. Keep it up👏🏽
Most of your life is listening to others and awareness of how life is and has been through the ages. I appreciate your uplifting message to make this world feel welcoming in far away homes and people like Scotland. Appearances matter the white wool hat compliments the warmth of the red winter coat, they fit the days stories. Thanks for the adventure
Hello Ruth ❤, in Vietnam, when a loved one passes away, after 49 days there is a small ceremony and gathering to remember this person. The same way after 100 days. And every year, on the anniversary day of the passing (on the lunar calendar), there is a big ceremony and gathering to remember this person.
Ruth - I hope you see this. I live in Lancaster PA. There was a department store named Watt and Shand in Lancaster. I had the chance to meet the great-granddaughter of Peter Watt. Her name is Nancy Groff and she has written a book called Watt and Shand. The store was open from 1879-1992. She has visited Orkney on several occasions because Peter Watt was from Orkney. What a great coincidence to see your video about Orkney.
Ruth has a beautiful magic about her. I can feel the joy and excitement of the amazing places she takes us in Scotland. Thank you Ruth. I wish you much success.
I'm a retired art history teacher. I've always been interested in Skar-a-brea. Used to teach it to my kids! The corbelled architecture is fascinating.😄
My wife and I walked from Rackwick to the Old Man and back nearly forty years ago and remember being divebombed by skuas which was quite an experience. The trudge over the headland to the stack was quite hard going and we visited the Dwarfie Stane too. The view of the Old Man can be spectacular from the deck of the North Link ferry from Scrabster to Stromness, especially when the weather is clement. I love your adventures in the Hebrides, it reminds me of my times exploring the islands. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for showing us the beauty of Scotland's nature. In the opening and other parts of this video, we can see striped rock layers on the coastal cliffs. It is believed that long ago, more than 8,500 years ago, the seabed was uplifted due to tectonic changes, became land, and was further eroded, eventually becoming part of the coastline. The grandeur of this natural process is truly awe-inspiring, isn't it?
Thank you so much for these fascinating videos. I'm from Peru, and your trips are almost other-worldly. Your presentation and personality make them great.
@@ruthaisling I really do. Your heartwarming feelings about Scotland make one want to visit. Oddly, my desert is normal to me, and seeing the green and brooks is fascinating.
I used to get Cheese patty suppers with a glass bottle of the Irn-Bru when i lived in the Shetland Islands. Hmmm making me hungry just thinking about it!
Ruth, you're really good at this and the quality of your videos is pro level. The voiceovers in terms of technical quality and content, the camera work, the editing, the drone filming, the shot choices--everything. Plus you make for a very appealing on-camera presence yourself. If you don't do this for a living then you should. Or would that spoil it and take away all the fun? In any case, another excellent video and looking forward to many more! 😊
@@ruthaisling Well, I've long wanted to visit Scotland, but after watching your videos I really really really want to visit it, sights, people, food--whiskey! A+++!
Wow what a lot you crammed in & just what I would do, if I was your age! Glad to have found you. I never watch TV, just youtube vlogs! I had no idea about them till I stumbled on Steve Marsh, I was probably looking for videos on Shetland. Bucket list!.
We were there in August 2023 - have an great time. So many sites and such friendly people. We even crossed over to the Brough of Birsay which as fun. Probably my favorite place now in Scotland.
Hi Ruth. Many of the female UA-camrs talk about the merits of the countries where they were born and raised. This time, the ancient ruins were talked about very vividly, and I think that there are many similarities between the round tombs and megalithic civilizations in Japan, and although this has not been proven, there was once a connection between them. I want to imagine that.
That is so interesting, next time I am in Japan I will try and visit some of those places. Although it's a different time period, I did think the dinosaur museum in Fukui Prefecture was excellent. Probably the best museum I have visited in Japan.
In Ohio, and much of the Midwestern United States, there are fascinating mound structures built by native peoples between 500 BCE-1500 CE (we call them the Adena, Hopewell, and Ft. Ancient peoples). They are beautiful (Serpent Mound is my favorite) and in the last 75 years we Americans have become serious about preserving them for posterity. We really need to cherish these sites of our ancient humanity. I was also fortunate enough to visit Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands in Ireland, and the sites in Orkney remind me of the ones I saw there. Love your channel!
Hi Ruth. Greetings from Skara Brae Ranch in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies in SW Alberta. Love your videos ... and particularly this one. My grandfather William Balderstone lived (and fly-fished) not far from Skara Brae near Birsay. I hope to return for a visit next year.
Merci...merci Ruth....je suis une passionnée de l histoire de l Angleterre ....de ses îles et je fais des recherches sur les Pictes ....C est un peuple très mystérieux Ce pays est magnifique et si intéressant ❤
i went to orkney with a friend and her family about a year ago! so cool to see places i have visited and also places that we didn’t have time to see in your video 🥰 Hope you had a lovely time Ruth it truly is a wonderful place!
I'm happy to hear you've been too, I hope you had a great trip! I had the best time there, still so many more islands to discover so I'll need to plan another trip sometime!
Orkney was already on our bucket list and then this video came along! I agree, it's so important to mark bereavement anniversaries. It's really helpful with dealing with grief.
Truly breathtaking sceneries. Impressive landscapes and amazing well-kept ancient ruins. I visited Isle of Arran in Scotland once 12 years ago and that is one of the most beautiful memories of my UK trip. Thank you so much for taking me to another Scotland trip in your video! Greetings from Japan.
Had an aunt and uncle that lived on Hoy visited them in 1987. Was able to tour the remains of the WW2 Naval ruins that still littered the island. WHAT AMAZED ME WAS THE 1000'S AND 1000'S OF BUNNY RABBITS I SAW EVERYWHERE.
I'm so impressed with your channel - I have to remind myself you are an independent creator, because your production qualities and presentation skills are so high. Recent subscriber, and thoroughly enjoying being taken on tour to places I can't get to. (I'm in Australia.) I really hope you keep increasing your subscriber base because you deserve it.
That was so good! That I don’t need to go there now!! Excellent production, the composition,the sound quality, the video shots and the information given are perfect. You are very talented at this, I wish you every success.
@ It shows. They’re very high quality and I like so many appreciate your work. I can’t travel and your videos are literally helping my mental health. Thank you!
I have grown to love the Scottish accent. After our DNA test my wife found that she is over 50 percent Scott. Truely hope that we can visit Scotland before we expire !
It is so good to see so many high quality productions about my home nowadays, Orkney. I was born here and have lived here all my life and you could not pay me to leave, it is a very special place. Just so you know for the ferry animations it would be better to use a picture of the "Earl Sigurd" for the Inter Island ferries and the "Hamnavoe" for the Northlink ferry as the pictures you used were of the Shetland inter island ferry "Linga" and the Aberdeen ferry "Hrossey." 😃
Wow Ruth, what you have packed into this video is amazing. It was lovely to see the places we visited in our van about 8 years ago. We purchased Ring of Brodgar rings in Kirkwall, and the Jeweller made a wee Orkney Axe to wear on my Argyle jacket as well, it was a scaled down Kiltie pin, very unique!! The Neolithics are amazing. Highland Park is great Whisky, we couldn’t do the tour as our ferry left St Margaret’s Hope for Gills Bay before the tour started. We stayed in the Kirkwall Camp Site and motored around to as many sites as we could cram in. You did better than us on the small ferries to the remote islands. I could go on and on, we loved Orkney. Well done on your Orkney adventure, Cheers, Mike 🥃🥃👍
Climbed the 'Old Man' 3 times, and St John's Head ('Testament to the Insane' route) twice. My climbing days are over now, and I'll miss beautiful Rackwick Bay, as that was our base for the climbing. Great video, took back a lot of great memories, thank you Ruth! ❤
Many thanks for your reply Ruth, and you take care on all your further adventures - 'always have two anchor-points into the face at any one time' mind, as us rock-climbers say😂👍!!!
The old Okinawan culture was very similar to Japanese, they would have picnics outside the family tombs on certain days of the year ! One of the few things I remember from my time in the Air Force over 40 years ago !
As Orthodox Christians we remember our departed loved ones 40 days after their death, 1 year after death and on other “Soul Saturday” services at church with a special boiled wheat and priestly prayers. Maybe you can visit an Orthodox Church in Scotland sometime! Thank you for your videos.
@@ruthaisling Just keep doing what you're doing, you put a smile on people's faces who would otherwise struggle to do so... I have a feeling you will know what I mean 😘
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing! The majority of my Scottish ancestry is from the Orkney Islands and you masterfully transported me there! Wonderful channel from USA ❤
Your videos come as a refreshing reminder that there is a world out there, waiting to be explored and that a small heartbreak shouldn't stop me from stepping out. Thank you!
Ah, what a scenic image of Orkney Island by Ruth! The centre of Neolithic ruins in the Orkney Islands is amazing! I would like to go there too. When I visited Edinburgh a while back, I bought some Highland Park Scotch whisky from Orkney Island and tried it. It was very delicious and I liked it. I also bought a jumper that is not made in Orkney, but made in Shetland. I also liked the design of it with the Viking pattern, so I still wear it to this day. Orkney and Shetland are islands with a strong Viking culture.
I hope you can visit Orkney sometime and see the Neolithic ruins for yourself! Your Shetland jumper sounds lovely, I imagine it must be so warm. I drank my drivers samples of the highland park the other day and enjoyed them!
Well that bought back some nice memories of my visit to Orkney many years ago. I remember finding one chambered tomb at the side of the road - there was a small honesty box with a torch inside which you could borrow and then had to crawl along the entrance tunnel to the main chamber inside. Quite a different experience to super touristy places like Skara Brae.
No problem, I love watching. Do you mind if I ask you how old you are though? because they don't seem to check your id when you go drinking over there. In America, if you get caught drinking, underage, you will get arrested. Just saying you look really young. But, if the question is too personal , you don't have to tell me. I was just curious. @@ruthaisling
I really enjoy watching your videos on Scotland. I only visited Scotland once, long before you were born, and I enjoyed it. I always wanted to get back there and visit the regions you explore, but since I am a little too old to physically do it now, I have to do it vicariously through your videos. BTW, as a Yank, I do not know if I could really handle eating Haggis.
That was spectacular Ruth. I am struck by the amazing scenery there wild & remote. A lot of very useful information in this one. The campsites are well equipped & reasonably priced 😊
As someone who lives on Hoy I thoroughly enjoyed your video and will be sharing it around to give people an excellent introduction to the islands I call home.
wow it`s such magnificent! Your videos will help me to get used to English again, and very fun because able to concentrate on watching them. thanks for interesting videos!
11:00 There's something incredibly surreal (and emotional to me for some reason) about the contrast between the ancient moss covered tombs and the pristinely smooth modern protective cement "caul" that encases it. The sunlight streaming in through the open skylights seems to really enhance the feeling.
It really is amazing! I’d love to visit Orkney again someday
Ive really enjoyed your video tours of Scotland. Greetings from Florida
Glad you like them! Send some sunshine my way haha!
Thanks for the video, I lived in Orkney for 21 years, just moved back to the mainland.. The Orkney brewery was my neighbour, great food and beer.
It's a great place! I'll need to try the beer next time!
thanks for all your love of our Scotland God Bless
Thank you too!
stay safe
"I'm frightened to go in," says Ruth. Then goes in any way. Ruth, you are truly brave.
One of the best channels on UA-cam. You're a naturally gifted presenter. From Melbourne, Australia.
Thanks so much Greg! ❤️

Orkney* not "the Orkneys", easy mistake but you wouldn't say "the Englands" or "the Hawaiis".
Your videos are so much like the classic travel shows I used to love growing up. Production is great and always full of interesting info and of course, so well presented. Keep it up👏🏽
i could listen all day and not get bored.

An absolutely fantastic trip to the Orkney Islands. Very interesting for me as a Norwegian.
Thanks for watching from Norway!
We were there in August 2023 - have an great time. So many sites and such friendly people. We even crossed over to the Brough of Birsay which as fun. Probably my favorite place now in Scotland.
Nice to hear you had such a great time there too! Did you go to Hoy?
@@ruthaisling we did not, but caught all the Neolithic sites as well as WW 2 sites. We had a great trip.
Hi Ruth. Many of the female UA-camrs talk about the merits of the countries where they were born and raised.

Thank you Ruth, lucky I am to sit here in North Carolina and feel like I am traveling with you!
In Ohio, and much of the Midwestern United States, there are fascinating mound structures built by native peoples between 500 BCE-1500 CE (we call them the Adena, Hopewell, and Ft. Ancient peoples). They are beautiful (Serpent Mound is my favorite) and in the last 75 years we Americans have become serious about preserving them for posterity. We really need to cherish these sites of our ancient humanity. I was also fortunate enough to visit Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands in Ireland, and the sites in Orkney remind me of the ones I saw there. Love your channel!

Quite a different experience to super touristy places like Skara Brae.
Wow, that sounds brilliant. So many of these smaller sites are so quiet too
"Breath taking" is anunstatement. Scotland is beautiful, as is her youtube guide with the red coat. :)
Thanks for watching Luke!
No problem, I love watching. Do you mind if I ask you how old you are though? because they don't seem to check your id when you go drinking over there. In America, if you get caught drinking, underage, you will get arrested. Just saying you look really young. But, if the question is too personal , you don't have to tell me. I was just curious. @@ruthaisling

I really enjoy watching your videos on Scotland. I only visited Scotland once, long before you were born, and I enjoyed it. I always wanted to get back there and visit the regions you explore, but since I am a little too old to physically do it now, I have to do it vicariously through your videos. BTW, as a Yank, I do not know if I could really handle eating Haggis.
Haggis is really good if you don’t think about what’s in it! 😂
That was spectacular Ruth.
I am struck by the amazing scenery there wild & remote.
A lot of very useful information in this one.
The campsites are well equipped & reasonably priced
😊
