Thank you Andrew you’ve opened up a whole new area of touring I wouldn’t have considered. A huge pack on the back to you.
Dear, Mr. Wonderful Andrew... walking that sweet dog is not a chore. Love ya, great video! 😁
People ARE free to comment as they wish.
Well done to you, you make amazing videos, you have a wonderful on screen presence...and what can I say about Dougal!!! a real star!
Well done Andrew , what an absolutely brilliant series of videos , thoroughly enjoyed every one , definitely seems like paradise to me , thank you so much for all your hard work , Dougal is such a cutie ! Happy Travels !
My heart literally melts whenever there's footage of Dougal bounding about. Just looks like THE loveliest little woofer.
Can't thank you enough for these incredibly useful videos. I'll be so chuffed if we somehow bump into you during our upcoming trip in September.
He is my everything! We'll be over on mainland early September but might see you if you're here at the end of the month.
Well done Andrew ! My hopes that you were a new scots islander are dashed but so glad you visit. I am grateful for your fine work and congratulate you on your research and information on the important aspects of visiting the Outer Hebrides.
thank you for posting! I wish you much happiness. I have been to Scotland and now it's in my blood!
Hi Andrew, I want to congratulate you on a fantastic series of videos. It is very clear that you put a huge amount of work into the project and your efforts were rewarded by a really informative and entertaining series. My wife & I are relocating from Dorset to Scotland at the end of March and we will be travelling whilst we search for our new home. My wife is Scottish but we have been in England for 40 years and we have never had the opportunity to tour Scotland properly. These videos have really helped us to work out where we want to visit on our campervan tour, and they have helped me to decide that I really really do want to live in the west coast with access to all of these marvels of nature.
Thank you so much for a job very well done.
Cheers Alan! Glad you enjoyed it, and good luck with the move.
Andrew, I have approx 200 TV channels at home and this Video you have put together is by far the best program on this Sunday evening. Of course the real star is Dougal. :)Thanks For putting them together. Lee & Vikki.
Wonderful series. Those beaches on Vatersay, with the white sands, blue and green seas, put me in mind of the Whitsunday Islands in Australia. You reminded me, that paradise is not too far away.
Cheers Gary!
Superb series of videos as good as any professional tv documentary.
Thanks Steve!
Great series Andrew! The Hebrides are indeed beautiful. I love the way you’re holding Dougal in your arms - he looks so comfortable!
I don't make a habit of commenting on UA-cam vlogs that I watch, in fact this is a first but I just wanted to say thank you from myself and my hubby for all the inspiration you have given us over this last couple of years. You inspired us so much that we chose a camper van over our intended motorhome and we haven't regretted it once. I also want to thank you for showing us how beautiful Scotland and the Outer Hebrides is to the point we have booked our fist major trip to Lewis, Harris & hopefully the Uists for this October. Secretly I'm hoping that we might just bump into you there and that our two pug girls Lilly & Daisy get to say hello to Dougal instead of just seeing him on our TV. But most of all to say please keep making your amazing, inspirational videos, because they really are lovely to watch. 😉
Ahh, thank you Bex. Congratulations on the van and have a fab time in October 👍
Andrew, thanks,I thotoughly ENJOYED. This series, just beautiful places, for me I would have to do the WHISKY TOURS, A WEE DRAM ,HERE ALWAYS DELIGHTS, TRAVEL SAFELY,
CHEERS FROM NJ,,,,USA🏴🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Andrew, just watched your amazing series on the Hebrides. THANKYOU so much. My wife and I stayed in a cottage on Harris just as the distillery was being set up. Incredibly, we watched the part on Harris, seeing you in the distillery, as we were drinking our very first Harris gin, a recent birthday present!. And we currently live in Houston, Texas near one of the only shops that sells it over here. We are planning on buying a motor home when we retire back to the UK and your series has inspired us to go back to the Hebrides.
Great stuff - and I'm sure you enjoyed the gin. Slàinte mhath!
Andrew, I'm up to #6 in your series on "How to Hebrides." These videos are simply wonderful and informative. Between you and Dougal, one can definitely sense a love for the islands. I hope someday to see some of these destinations but if not, you certainly opened my eyes to these Scottish wonders. Blessings to you!
Thanks Doug - I really hope you do get to visit yourself one day.
Hey Andrew - I just love the Vlogs. I had a couple of weeks off in August so I visited the Outer Hebrides for the first time ever, just on foot, bus and boat starting in Castlebay and finishing in Stornoway. Wow!!! what a place the Hebrides is - I was absolutely smitten and I have to say I felt a bit desolate when I got back home. Your excellent videos have been a real solace for me as I contemplate and plot my next trip. Big thanks to you mate for your excellent work, ably assisted of course by your sidekick Dougal! So looking forward to the next ones - Andy.
Cheers Andy!
We have just tuned into your channel for the first time and have watched part 1-6 of 'How to Hebrides'. Your information on all that is Hebrides, has been an absolute pleasure to watch, we never knew anything about the islands and are completely sold. Stunningly beautiful places, they are definitely going on our places to visit list. Thank you so much for the wonderful videos we look forward to seeing a lot more from you. 😊
Excellent stuff Nia! Fingers crossed for the weather for you - it is WILD as I am typing this!
Wonderful series Andrew and thank you for enticing us all the way from Gloucestershire to the Outer Hebrides. It remains one of our most memorable trips where the combination of unique isles and friendly islanders make it so inviting for us inlanders. Happy travels. David and Annie.
Cheers David! Hope you're both well.
Another brilliant mini series of vlogs thank you Andrew and of course Dougal
Absolutely brilliant series! I always looked forward to it on my Sunday nights. Well done!
Hi there Andrew. I've only just discovered your videos but I have to say how brilliant and informative they are. I love Dougal and the way you hold him to say your Thank you's and goodbye's is so heartwarming. I left part of me in North Uist back in 2016 and I really hope to return and see the rest of these magical islands ❤️
Thanks Sandra. I hope you make it back here soon (I made Uist my home after this series) :)
@@andrewjditton thank you for your reply 😊 I made full use of my week in North Uist, wasn't going to waste precious time, was staying in Creagan Na Mara a very beautiful detached thatched stone cottage, drove from North to South Uist, also a couple of the other little islands, I need to visit Lewis Harris & Barra and I'd love to see Taransay where Castaway 2000 was filmed. I live so far away from Scotland let alone the Outer Hebrides but I hope I get the chance to stay again. You and Dougal are now living and breathing the dream :-)
Lovely series. They bring back so many happy memories. Very informative. Many thanks .
We will be going to Harris in the autumn and your videos have been wetting our appetite for weeks!
I have enjoyed this series immensely!! Kudos to you and Dougal, Andrew. I will be revisiting this series again and again. 👍
Thanks Andrew. Your mini series was much appreciated and enjoyed
I have really enjoyed this series. You did a great job. Seeing Dougal always make me smile.
Hi Andrew , and the wonderful Dougal !! I just wanted to share something with you and thank you.To explain - I have been a subscriber and dedicated viewer for sometime now , and have had a wonderful time watching your vlogs over and over again. I am in my 60s , and always felt I had one last adventure in me and the idea of thumbing my nose at convention again by just taking off , with an Airstream has been an ambition. Having been recently diagnosed with a terminal illness , I have decided to have at it , and what the hell for as long as I can.
Wanted to thank you for so much useable information on living a different lifestyle , and for shining a light on the flip side of convention to allow people to see what is actually out there. I cannot wait to begin , but I will make sure I have access to UA-cam so I can continue to follow you , and of course , Dougal , on future escapades , Dave
Sorry you've had such a kick up the bum Dave - but props to you for taking action! Enjoy your adventures - and see you on the road!
We have really enjoyed watching these videos. So emotional! It is helping us plan our trip to North Uist and Barra in spring 2020 in our motorhome. We have received a very warm welcome when we have visited in the past in our car and we love the way you show respect and appreciation the islands and the community. Your hard work is much appreciated, you have produced professional videos that are both beautiful to watch and very informative and as well as moving. Dougal’s starring role was simply stunning!! Jenn and Russ 👍😊🐕
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. See you up there some time soon!
Those beaches !!! Your photography and expert commentary make this a most wonderful series of vlogs. Thank you Andrew.👍
Very informative and detailed about this amazing place. I had no idea how lovely the islands are until watching the whole series. Better viewing on a Sunday than Country file and the Antiques Road Show which I love!! Looking forward to the Adria review. 😎
Praise indeed! Thanks Bernie.
I never knew this area existed! Thanks to you it is now on my bucket list of places to visit! Beautiful video, the entire series is fantastic! If there was anything that could be better, MORE DOUGAL! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for all the information offered. I appreciate the efforts you put in acquainting (non-)campers with remote and beautiful areas. Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.
Outstanding as always. Fabulous job Andrew and Dougal. Cheers 🙋♀️🐶🇨🇦
Yet another wonderful series, enjoyed everyone of them.
Absolutely loved the series & you can see & hear in your narrative how much the Islands mean to you. I hope one day to find myself visiting the Hebrides. Well done on a most interesting journey with your star companion Dougal. 🐶❤️
💙 lovely video, I've been to Barra a number of times and like you say, you do end up leaving your heart there. Being the only person on a beach is a real treat you only get in these special places. Brings back many memories for me! 😊
I just want to say thank you for all of this series. I can see the work and the heart and soul in each part. I feel like you have given me a personal gift, life should have beauty and joy it sometimes and because of this series and your other vlogs I have been so inspired and filled with confidence that I can make this trip happen. It's a massive thing to me so just thankyou for all your efforts and passion. Xx
Andrew, this series is a must see for all new visitors and some not so new. As you say do your research and follow your nose, because who knows what you'll find around the corner. Thanks.👍🖖🏴🏴🏴
Cracking end to a brilliant series Thanks again , Safe Travels .
Absolutely beautiful! I especially loved that white sandy beach and clear water that could easily pass for a Caribbean beach! You did magnificent work on this series and I do appreciate every bit of it! Greetings from 🇨🇦
Lovely informative series of videos. Thank you Andrew for your hard work.
Thanks Andrew for a very enjoyable and informative series. We’re looking forward to our trip there very soon
Brilliant series. Makes me want to move again. Love Scotland and the outer hebrides to bits.
I have absolutely loved this little series. I have been to the Uists twice, and have met Eilidh Carr and Anne from Balranald. Great people, great place, great series. Thank you
We visited the Outer Hebrides last year inspired by your videos. It is a truly stunning place and each island has a special charm. Watching this series just makes me want to go back. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Thanks for a great inspirational series, makes me want to visit. Thanks again for your time and effort in the bids.
Andrew. What an absolutely outstanding series of videos. Will assist so many considering/planning to make this adventurous journey. So please I stumbled across your superb work, thank you.
Having already done this route with a friend in 2012 on motorcycles, I have to say its one of - if not the most - wonderful places I've ever visited, always yearned to return. Often reflecting, that I missed so much by travelling too fast and stopping too infrequently focused on the next destination rather than the journey. So, I'm now in the planning stage again, visiting the isles in either May 2022 or September 2022. This time completing the journey alone on an Ebike and camping. I intend to stop frequently, connect with the wonderful people/communities, landscapes and elements.
Great stuff! Enjoy your trip.
Fantastic series Andrew,what a beautiful place. We are looking to book cottages there next year ,thanks to looking at all of your brilliant vlogs of the islands. More please if you get the time
Cracking series, loved it.
Thanks for all the information and sharing your experience on the Isles. Definitely want to go even more so now 👍.
Your series was well done and as professional as a tourism agency’s production. Cheers from the USA!
Thanks Julia!
Lovely tour of the Hebrides, Andrew. These are now on the list for my next trip home to Scotland, ...details pending. If I am not mistaken, I believe wee Dougal was smiling whilst on the beach and when being given his treats in that one café. Now to finish binge watching the rest of this series. Slàinte.
Cheers! Yes, like me he’s happy to be there :)
Andrew, your focus and attention to detail in the videos are superb. I found myself falling in love with the Outer Hebrides all over again. This has made me move my trip to the islands closer to the top of my bucket list. I think what I love most about your videos is the sense of adventure and your love of the Outer Hebrides people and places. Lovely series...very well done.
Well Done its a part of the UK i never thought i wanted to go to but the whole of the series has changed that its been one of the best discovery series i have ever seen and the seeds have been planted and its time to research and cost our journey to sample the air and atmosphere and warmth you have given all of us
Thank you for this really great series. It ist (one of) the best I’ve ever seen on YT or even in professional TV. It comes along like a friend talkes to an other friend to help him planning his journey to the Hebrides. Great job with really helpful information and a presenting which really “forces” me to visit the beautiful islands. Thanks again 👍😊
That's very kind of you to say, thank you very much. See you up there some time I hope!
Andrew Ditton okay. First step is done. Bought a Bürstner TravelVan 620 on Wednesday. As we are first time camper, now we are buying accessories for camping... I think this year we will exercise here in the very near Black Forest. Then, when we are brave enough, we will try a jump over the channel. Thanks for inspiring me.
Andrew - a great set of videos. Topical, useful. You don’t need to worry - they are very good. Your enthusiasm for the topic but it doesn’t colour your guides. Thank you. Given me some things to think about
Beautifully filmed and really informative videos, thank you Dougal and Andrew.
Thanks Sue!
Wonderful series. Thanks for sharing your love of these beautiful islands. And I saw lots of tail wagging, Dougal looked very happy to be there too.
Such a great series. Thank you for all your hard work! Loved the beautiful scenery, great people, helpful information, etc. Well done!
Thanks Karen!
Looks extremely nice around there Andrew, great video😀
This is a wonderful and inspiring series Andrew - I would like to thank you for creating it. I will be visiting!
Thanks Sebastian, glad you enjoyed it!
Andrew, this has been such a Blessing! Thank You SO much for taking us with you, i was in tears at the end, not sure if I will get there but feel that I have been half way there!
Oh I so enjoyed your tour as usual I shed a tear when you had to leave too, but know we'll get to go back their sometime in the year, thank you for sharing this wonderful visit I love seeing Barra and it's life style and people who live and visit, as it's half a world away from where I am in Tasmania, look forward to the review and understand the sad face.
Hello.
I've just completed the whole series and was impressed with the level of detail you provided.
My wife and I will be visiting these amazing islands in our campervan in late April/early May next year and we'll be referring to the information that you have provided to enhance our trip.
Thanks once again.
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your trip :) Since I filmed this series, I have made Uist my home.
Thank you Andrew! Well done! It’s been a great pleasure to watch your series, looking forward for your upcoming ones!
Warm regards to Doogle and you
Brilliant series Andrew 👍👍
We all appreciate the time and effort you put into your channel
Looking forward to the Adria Twin Supreme review
3-4 months wait for my SGX to arrive 😢
Beautifully done Andrew!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 there is no emoji for a standing ovation darn it. I don't think I have ever gotten choked up and cried at the end of a travel series before now.💙💜🧡💚💛
Aww, thanks Annette!
We have really enjoyed watching this entire series Andrew. You have done a great job of putting it altogether. It has now made me want to go the the there even more thank ever and I was so so pleased when you played a little bit of Tide Lines :D Thank you for all your hard work in putting this together and I hope you and Dougal managed to get some relaxation time in-between the filming and research :D Take care :D Teddy
Brilliant series, really makes me want to visit the area. Thanks
I've watched every one of these excellent videos with keen interest. The fact that I've now been to the OH twice, for four weeks is, in large measure, due to your open-hearted videos. Seeing you on both trips has been a bonus. Thanks for pouring your heart and soul into this project. Say "Hi" to Dougal, and I hope you'll continue to keep us in touch with these incredible islands and their wonderful people. Cheers.
Cheers David!
An inspirational series, beautifully executed and full of really useful information whilst retaining the personal touch from our favourite UA-cam Vlogger (and his dog).
Aww, thanks Stephen!
Thanks for making this video, I stayed on Borve camp site last week , such great memories.
Thanks to you and all your useful information I’ve just finished touring Harris and Lewis in my camper . Your videos we invaluable and I was constantly referring them even during the trip. Next trip is in the planning stages already for Barra , Vatersey and the Uists next year.. thank you Andrew and Dougal .. xx
Glad to hear they were useful Jane, and I hope you had a good time. See you in Uist next year!
Andrew you done it to me again a fantastic series loved every minute the information was first class we cannot wait for our holiday to the isles we have already made a list of places we wont to go to . So a massive thankyou brillant .
I appreciate the hard work you and Douglas have put into these videos and hopefully the more people and locals see these, the more people will calm down on certain subjects. Think I’ll give it a miss for a while tho. Good job on the whole series 👍
We definately want to go after watching your videos, amazing!
Your dog is a real cutie.😀 Thank you for your hard work and for sharing.
Love the Adria camper van so stylish!
Congrats on a well put together series where the islands are the star, great effort, have added the islands to my bucket list and looking forward to the report on the Adria van, well done Andrew
Thank you!
Andrew, an absolute wonderful series of videos, I so want to visit the Hebrides. one day soon, it's on my bucket list. Keep up your great work, your videos are truly an inspiration. 😃
Thanks Dave 👍
Hi Andrew. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series, and having just got my first motorhome, this has whetted my appetite to visit the area next year. This has been superbly filmed and imformative. Thank you so much for putting this together.
Cheers Paul!
As I’ve mentioned on your other vlogs. We’re off on Tuesday. A very useful and enjoyable series.
Thanks Andrew.
Have a great time!
Sure will Andrew. Your videos were the push we needed. They’ll make you an honorary Hebridean.
Brilliantly done, it’s been 15 years since visiting Barra and want to go again 👍
Thank you. 15 years is too long... hurry back!
Excelent series. Just enough to give me what I need to know. Just need to start my search for my heart which is lost there already.
I’ve loved this series. I’m so very happy you shared it. My dream is to travel the UK and other European countries in a caravan. You’re living my dream and taking us along. I’m in heaven.❤️
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series Andrew. Well done; it was informative, entertaining and well put together. Thank you 😊
Thanks Mads!
Brilliant review and enjoy all that you do and i all ways smile😆😆
Superb series Andrew, well done 👍
Thanks John!
Best channel on youtube , always informative, well filmed and presented by the best host , and your ok too Andrew, keep up the good work Rob & Cherie
Thanks R&C!
Andrew the whole series is bang on well done mate
Thanks Wayne!
Gorgeous video & a fantastic series. TFS xx
Fantastic work! Thanks for taking the time to share with the rest of us. And greetings from Skye :)
Thanks Philip! Waving over the Minch back at ya! 👍
Thank you for this series Andrew. It’s been a long held dream of mine to visit the islands, just need to get it sorted out.
Andrew, good on you. I was so disappointed to read a really unhelpful comment last week literally hours after returning from the gorgeous isles. However I also know having met and re met other tourers on our island hops that they were all very responsible, courteous and appreciative of the opportunity to share the Isles for a while. The camping fraternity as a whole are some of the kindest on this planet! This series has been extremely helpful and whilst we missed the last 2 Vlogs as we were detaching ourselves from the world, we found your advice and the helpful island guide which we printed and took with us so helpful. We certainly recognise your efforts and thank you for sharing all that you do with us. Love Doggies on tour. P.S The Adria Twin was a success. Quite a revelation that I didn't have to head back to the campsite to the caravan whenever I forgot something (which occurs often!) and having a wC wherever you travelled was a life changer..... Looking forward to tonight's episode which includes Barradise!!! What a site Scurrival is 😍
Thank you Andrew - that was a wonderful series of reports. The Outer Hebrides tourist board should definitely employ you (or Dougal) !
That would be a dream job! :)
An excellent, uplifting and inspirational series Andrew, which has resulted in my Son and his wife coming over from their home in Dusseldorf and spending a week on Harris & Lewis and resulted in them becoming converts both to the Outer Hebrides and fans of your channel!!
Many thanks.
Brilliant! Cheers Peter.
Thankyou Andrew for a very enjoyable, interesting and informative series. I really want to take my caravan over to explore this beauriful part of Scotland. I now feel much better equipped to take the plunge and do it now. Got my first caravan last year and really loving travelling about in it. 🤗
Excellent! Hope you make it Maureen 👍
Loved this series Andrew, really inspired me to get up there and explore - semi retirement beckons and this area is definitely on my vanlife bucket list - thanks so much and safe travels 😎
Thanks Martin!
Wonderful places indeed, I feel like I must return to the hebrides as soon as possible. Wonderful shooting!
Thanks Nelson.
Very inspiring. I'm building up my courage to travel more. Beautiful landscapes. And I must say I find it very encouraging to see so many plant milks being stocked. That channa dhal looked great! Looks like good vegan options available. Yummy!
Yes Sarah, there were vegan options in most places. 👍
Well done for this series of brilliant and informative videos, the Hebrides look like a wonderful place to visit even with the sometimes challenging weather. Thank you very much. Sad that it’s finished tonight but I can always reply it again and again......!! Douglas you deserve a doggy Oscar for your amazing talent. As Dr Sues said ‘ Don’t cry 😢 that it’s over, smile 😊 that it happened ‘ Will be looking forward to seeing you next adventure videos hopefully in the near future.
With all good wishes. Pamela
Thanks Pamela.
Andrew you are doing a great job, keep it up
Thanks John!
Absolute fantastic series of videos, I thoroughly enjoyed them all, so much advice I didnt know I needed. Hopefully we will be in Harris end of October all being well.
Thanks for making these videos.
Great to hear! I really hope things will be OK for your visit to Harris. Such a stunning place.
Enjoyed the series
Wonderful wonderful series Andrew. Thanks for bringing this area of my country into my home. Keep up the good work and looking forward to whatever you choose to share with your public in the future. Here's tae us wha's like us.
Slanj!
