I’m a Glaswegian but never been back to Scotland for going on 20 years now. I really enjoy listening to your dialect……and not to mention the absolutely incredible filming, must be a lot of effort put into creating tour videos, it’s really appreciated
An idyllic place to pitch up Murray. It must have felt like being the first visitor since the last ice age carved and gouged it's imprint in the earth, ten thousands of years ago. Pristine, unspoiled by the careless presence of man. Remote harsh and desolate of aspect, softened only where the clouds allow the sun to touch. Achingly beautiful, it draws me in and stirs memories of earlier times when I too roamed my wanderings in empty places. Thankfully there are you and others who take the trouble to document it in video form for we whom circumstance restrains, to re-visit through your eyes. Your videos are deeply appreciated, so, many and sincere thanks are your due. I look forward to enjoying many more, and may you continue to enjoy good health to do what you do so well.
Wow , the animals up there chatted away when you arrived, what an awesomely beautiful place to camp, I’m glad you got yoursel out the wind . Alaya. Old 🦉 Owl uk.
One of those scenes you never want to end, well done Murray, well done. The luxury of the solitude of a self, gifted alone under the stars so cold and the cowering wind, with the flickering fire and no glare in the dark you are gifted the Wealth of a soul destined for home. Your best yet young man, keep climbing X
What a great intro with the fire going and then the bike ride through the grand views of Scotland. No people around..,great. Really enjoyable ..thanks Murray.
Thanks Murray, fantastic video and in response to your question at 31.40......."Does it get any better than this".....I think not. This route is now on my Scottish trip list for the future. Keep your wonderful videos rolling in.
After breaking the solitude with your camera and “choice words”(I picture John Cleese in Fawlty Towers) a wee dram was definitely in order. Thanks for another great video Murray.
Lonely Loch nan Euan a friends Grandfather wrote this piping tune after visiting this Loch . Great memories of my trip into those hills a good few years ago now . It truly is a fine spot . I’ve a few photos of myself and some friends on that camping spot . Fantastic video as usual thanks .
John McNab - I met a father and daughter at Loch Nan Euan many years ago . I was descending a nearby mountain to the ( very surprising ) sound of bagpipes and met the lady first who explained her father visited this loch yearly to play a tune there on his bagpipes for his deceased friend. It's something I will never forget.
You missed out on the joy of flying through that puddle on your bike with your legs in the air shouting Geronimo at the top of your voice. Or is that just me?
Glad I saved this one to watch on the "big telly". Such a well put together video and a stunning trip. Certainly an area I look forward to exploring more of.
"7:00 hrs..." That's one of my favourite times when wild camping. You unzip the tent for the first time to see what kind of a day you've got. You got a great one this time! Thanks for sharing this with us. I always enjoy your videos, and it's cheaper than therapy! ;-)
You smashed it again Murray, and I don't mean the camera lol, that was a freaking awesome vlog of your adventure, Thanks for sharing it, loved it. Well done, stay safe & ATB.
I so love your videos, they really engage me in a most beautiful part of the world and liofestyle; a real escape from daily life.. thank you ever so much.
Fantastic Murray, just fantastic. The time lapse, the solitude, all in all just made me want to pick up my rucksack and go do the same. Thank you for sharing, superb. As always stay safe and ATB
I can only imagine the peace of this adventure. I had the pleasure of touring Tomatin several years ago and I agree I would highly recommend it. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure! Cheers!
As always, I do enjoy your extended vlogs. I love that sense of solitude, oe of the things which is important to me when I venture on the Hill. yhank you!
What a beautifully put together video...it had it all...I think the birds were Moor Hens...was I imagining it, but did I hear sheep?...don't seem to recall seeing any...fantastic time lapse camera work viewing the stars until morning...thank you Murray atb until the next time.
I enjoyed this very much, Murray! It does have that remote feel to it. Just wow! What a place to enjoy solitude. Hill Of The King seems fitting, it was like your own kingdom. Take care always! Mari
Fab trip murray - always enjoy sharing your trips Some weather and some camp spot - love the Scarp ( you were the inspiration for me to get the scarp ) Thanks again my friend Atb 👍🏽
Thanks Jeg - all good - got another one next week which was mint too far from this spot - just a more dramatic setting 🤔👍 Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Nice. Congrats on catching such a beautiful night sky. My knowledge of the local fauna sounds is miserable. But there is a bird (might be the same that's saluting you at 6.00, just different call) that once just got us. Far North. Awe inspiring space. Not another human soul. The just after sunset silence that gets your heart breathing. Only a murmur of a stream and a couple of birds calling to each other. We are sitting by the tents and just about neighing like horses. Because there is one of those guys flying circles around and in that twilight silence he (?) sounds exactly like somebody is having a good time on an old spring mattress.
I was ready for that fire the second you pitched your tent! The water is so clear, just amazing! I would love to learn about the history of this area. Gorgeous night sky there, just wow!
That was so relaxing to watch! Thank you for letting us accompany you on such a pleasant trip. If ever the environment could make up for the mishap with the camera screen, I think it certainly did here. I hope you managed to get that repaired though...
The muppet who put a thumbs down should get a life, your video as usual was excellent so thumbs up from me! I live on the south coast but go the the Highlands at least once a year (750 miles and 750 miles back by car) and I love it.
Thanks fo commenting Beverley - keep watching this space as a video is coming actually called - hiking around the devils elbow :) we parked. It far from that very spot last weeks and hiked round the hills to the east of the devils elbow 👍 Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
What a nice video and we’ll narrated I always like the camping videos. The night sky time lapse is beautiful. The reflection of your fire on the stones gave the illusion of one huge campfire! Lots of exercise , you must have slept well! Take care until the next video 🇨🇦 ❤️
Thanks Sue, I would've slept well but it was sooo cold over night!! Glad I had the fire (and whisky) to keep me warm earlier in the evening :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Murray I'm "jealous", :-( Great beautiful video it has an inviting character. Have already been up to pack my things and am leaving for Scotland NOW. Great to see nature while you still can. We humans have no alternative but just this planet and we must continue to use it responsibly. The way you tell in your Scottish accent is reassuring and enjoy the video in this flat little country where I am. Thanks for your video and on to the next one.
Simply lovely video. If you think of walking something different I know a man who's name is Jim Hawkins. He is walking around the UK and is now walking in the Stranraer area going north with final destination John O Groats. Then he is finished. Maybe you would like to walk with him for a few days along the west Scotland coast. Just an idea. If you are on UA-cam and write down Jim Hawkins coastal path you can find him. This is by no means a must if course. I love your video's, I love Scotland so keep climbing. 👍
Nice one Murray. Sore one with the camera 😬 Camped there a few years ago. A lovely wee place. Did Carn an Righ & Tulaichean the next day in foul weather. I'll go back for a visit as I've still to do Beinn Lutharn Mhor...And the Top, Bheag of course 😉
there were a couple of bikes when I got back down the following day - day trippers I think. TBH a bike is a very good option in these hills (especially for the way back down;))lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
There were indeed a couple of mountain bikes appeared when I got down the next day - its a good choice for these mountains as it will save a wee bit of time - especially on the way back down the glen :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Scott Chegg is a good friend of mine… and I never knew Tomatin was pronounced the way you said it! I love my bottle of their cask strength offering! Hope you can get your camera sorted/replaced without too much expense/bother!
Exactly correct - I remembered when I looked back at my trip up Glen Ey - not sure I could manage all five now - not only my memory that’s not as good as it used to be ! 😂 Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Another first class video I would love it there but doubt the 11 year old would hike in that far ! Fabulous video work, Best channel I ever found for reminding me of why we love Scotland, In Glencoe next month, I think I will leave the family in the hotel and have a camp on the top looking down to glen etive Keep em coming
I was up Beinn Luthran Mhor last year but found it tough going from Spittal of Glenshee....round trip.took almost 10 hours! It's a great area and as you say very remote! Great film as usual!
Hi Graham - welcome to the channel - hope you enjoy some of the videos 👍. The tent is a Scarp1 tent from a company called Tarptent - I did a video on it a wee while ago below if interested : ua-cam.com/video/CGUiaxDJ830/v-deo.html Thanks Murray

Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
Love your vids mate. Having breathing problems,can’t get up. But it’s good to watch these vids. Keep them coming.
Beautiful. I can just smell that Scottish air! :) x
I think everyone need solitude from time to time , to gather your thoughts.
And what a beautiful place to go .
Great content as usual Murray, love the longer adventures,,its great that you can leave your bike and its still there when you get back, stay safe Jim
Thanks Murray, fantastic video and in response to your question at 31.40......."Does it get any better than this".....I think not. This route is now on my Scottish trip list for the future. Keep your wonderful videos rolling in.
Another great adventure taking in 3 Scottish Munro's. You don't do anything by Half's. Liked your timelapse of the stars.
Oh l loved that Murray. Your info and filmimg/Photography is great. As always looking forward to the next. Take care xx
After breaking the solitude with your camera and “choice words”(I picture John Cleese in Fawlty Towers) a wee dram was definitely in order. Thanks for another great video Murray.
Absolutely loved that. The location, and the slow enjoyment of the area. ....And that weather!!

Good Morning from New Zealand, thanks for your Great Wild Camp Video Thanks for sharing , Have a great week
Wow Murray. A proper remote feeling to that one 😎👍
Twas lovely getting away from it all - felt nice a remote for sure up here :) much fun
Excellent! There so much offered in wild hill camping. Always a good idea to set up a base camp to hit surrounding hills. Very satisfying.
What a trip!! Amazing landscapes and perfect weather, very jealous of the whisky by the camp fire, thanks for sharing your new memories! ATB
Another great adventure.
Glad I saved this one to watch on the "big telly". Such a well put together video and a stunning trip. Certainly an area I look forward to exploring more of.
Hope you enjoyed it :)
If ever one man is living his dream then surely Murray is that man ⛰️.. absolutely brilliant vlog as always,top class 🏕️

So good. Thanks for sharing, Murray. 👍🙂🏴
Most enjoyable again Murray, it must have been a wrench to leave that spot by the Loch. Great views of the Cairngorms
This has been one of my favourites of yours Murray. Time well spent watching. Thanks dude.
Absolutely stunning!👏👏👏
Fantastic Murray, just fantastic. The time lapse, the solitude, all in all just made me want to pick up my rucksack and go do the same. Thank you for sharing, superb. As always stay safe and ATB

Fantastic video Murray, what a stunning location. Thanks for sharing your adventure! 😀⛰🥾🏴
Amazing time lapse of night turning to day! 😍
Nice one Murray, you simply cannot beat the feeling of the sun on your face as it rises above the mountains, magic! 😊
As always, I do enjoy your extended vlogs. I love that sense of solitude, oe of the things which is important to me when I venture on the Hill. yhank you!
Great trip, reminds me of a wild camp by Loch Etchachan in the Cairngorms many years ago
Was there last weekend, camped next to the outfall from the loch, great place and another cracking video 👍
Thank you for some insights into this area and I have checked it out on the OS maps. Someday maybee.
Kind regards.

My first thoughts were almost 40minutes, that might be pushing it. But as the end was approaching I wanted more. Brilliant stuff!
Thanks Gary - hope you enjoyed it - got another wild camping adventure at almost the same length next week 🥴
Not long till you get your Oscar, Murray.
Great stuff Murray what a fantastic spot.love it Scotland 🏴 that is lol take care man 👍⛺️🍺
This looks beautiful. Very jealous. Also I love your accent!!!! 🤠
Where are you from?😁
Nice location and views mate. Atb
Cheers Ray - hoping to catch up on your vlog a bit later - looks good 👍
It’s a fine trout loch
Another marvellous film Murray, thank you for letting us share your adventure. I note another bike where you left yours, do you have a follower?
there were a couple of bikes when I got back down the following day - day trippers I think. TBH a bike is a very good option in these hills (especially for the way back down;))lol

Second breakfast again! 😆 Not brave enough for a little dip in the loch, eh? 🤣
ATB
Oh yes...the day isn't going well unless you have a second breakfast...😁
Great to watch your adventures Murray. I was wandering whilst watching this adventure, whether you ever take a dip in the Lochs that you come across?
Not usually - but I sometime make exceptions (stayed tuned for a video later in the year :))
Thanks for watching

You're possibly thinking of Carn Bhac as the 5th.Munro up there, my favourite area. Anither great film, really enjoyed it, thank you.👍

Carn an Righ has two summits.I am a native of Perth and have passed that way.
Cracking video Murray. Nice spot 👍. Do you have shares in Scotch eggs? 🤣
Nothing beats a good scotch Egg - perfect On outdoors adventure 👌😂
Another first class video
I would love it there but doubt the 11 year old would hike in that far !
Fabulous video work,
Best channel I ever found for reminding me of why we love Scotland,
In Glencoe next month, I think I will leave the family in the hotel and have a camp on the top looking down to glen etive

I was up Beinn Luthran Mhor last year but found it tough going from Spittal of Glenshee....round trip.took almost 10 hours! It's a great area and as you say very remote! Great film as usual!

What's the make of tent? Recently only found your channel. Loving it.. thanks for making it
Hi Graham - welcome to the channel - hope you enjoy some of the videos 👍. The tent is a Scarp1 tent from a company called Tarptent - I did a video on it a wee while ago below if interested :

@@ScotlandsMountains loving the channel. It has me thinking of going to Scotland next year for a multi day hike. Thanks for replying.
Scotch egg new to me, intrigued and planning already for next trip out
They have become a regular in my snacks arsenal! :)
@@ScotlandsMountains I think that maybe the effects of digesting Scotch eggs make solo camping a must !! :)
@@milestogo8451 Lmfao, thanks for the tip
Scotch egg is a dietary requirement in the UK 😀... Absolutely beautiful especially with HP Brown sauce... 👌
