  • Willie, Sarah and their dogs Jack Spaniels & new puppy, Nori, continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving their suburban life and moving over the sea to a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
    In this episode, the Skye Lifers are setting sail across 'The Minch', travelling from Skye to the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides - an archipelago of remote Scottish islands, each with their own breathtakingly beautiful scenery and fascinating history.
    Nerves are running high amid high winds and the thought of taking our dogs on a ferry for the first time ever...will it be smooth sailing or a disastrous journey?!
    Join us as we explore some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, in between wild Hebridean storms and discover some of the hidden history of the island.
    Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!

      I absolutely love Sundays just because I get to see your Vlogs. I always look forward to your excursions, seeing the pups and the beautiful landscapes. It never hurts to be able to hear Willie play music and Sarah show her art. Today’s Vlog was no letdown! Gosh, what a beautiful place to live. I think it’s in my DNA, and I can’t wait to come and visit. I can still hear my great- grandmother speaking to me and telling me stories of the Hebrides when she was a girl. ❤ I know you had choppy water, but the beaches were well worth the trip. Much love and admiration coming your way from the Appalachian mountains in America! ❤ Jan

    Many years ago we done a 4 day tour from Oban of the Hebrides, at the time Oban promoted itself as 'The Gateway to the Islands'. And one of our guides was a marine biogist who said the were surronded by the cleanest sea water in all of Europe, and he said this was because of the sort of 'reverse action' of the tides caused by the strong tidal flow between the islands that were so close together and the overall effect it had on whole area.

    St. Clements Church was so amazing to think it was built in the 1500s....so beautiful and in such great shape after all these years. Evidently a historical site that is well looked after by the island residents. We are so fortunate that you are willing to film for us and share with us your beautiful islands. They are always wonderful, no matter what the weather.

    A sky so close you could reach up and touch it
    A visible expanse so deep you can inhale the scent of salt water
    and exhale all the way to the horizon.
    Two wildly happy dogs etch their joy on a clean slate of sand in a chaotic profusion of footprints.
    Thank you so much for bringing us along on your holiday!

Now he's gone, I know that I will probably never go back (I'm 71 and the driving would be too much for me on my own), So thank you for taking me back ... Terry spent some time on Harris and Lewis a few years ago with his caving club buddies, where hev was researching Harris Tweed. He collected Harris Tweed jackets over many years. Sending you both and the fur babies 🐶🐾, once again, love, light and Summer blessings. Take are of waxh other, youbare precious. xx

Watching the absolute joy that Jack and Norry had running along that beautiful beach and the pics of that eagle, made the video.Good effort Sarah, trying to outpace them!

When you were in the beautiful church I caught Jack Spaniels just posing for the camera. Please do a few of those close shots of him. He makes my heart melt when he makes his cute faces at the camera. I'm sure Nori will learn this once he calms down a little. They are lovely. 🌷🌿🐕🇺🇸

    Luskentyre has to be one of the most beautiful beaches and landscape in the world and at low tide when the sea disappears or seems to and there is a vast expanse of sand it is almost magical. I once had a picnic on that beach on the August Bank Holiday and we had the whole place to ourselves. In the two years I lived there it never ceased to amaze me. Harris really is a stunning place to visit and explore.

    I would love to buy a soundtrack that had long stretches of the sound of the sea along that beautiful huge beach!

    The drone footage was very sharp. Enjoyed that a ton.

    Amazing video and the beaches on the Isle Of Harris are simply stunning. I do feel I was born in the wrong part of the world. Now I can't wait for next weeks video. ❤
