    I think you're great and although it may not be politically correct to say so, it's lovely to see a couple with a child. Thanks for making lovely videos and a 70-year-old very happy.

    Great vlog, we love Wester Ross, it’s a stunning area.
    We also love how you let Aife ‘be’ a child, try to climb, explore the sand, play with leaves in the forest, be with her best friend Oslo, she is having a fabulous childhood.

    Good morning Athena, Harvey, Aife, & Oslo! The seasons are changing, the wind whips through the dry tall grass, the powerful madness in the river. I love how you naturally leave me feeling of tranquility while sharing this beautiful scenery in Scotland. Aife enjoyed the corn on the cob. Climbing up the rocks like a natural explorer. hehe love her smile! Have a really good week you"4".

    And after the opening with the stag I just knew it was Torridon car park, I got amazing photos of him too. Totally un phased.

Including Aife on your travels is absolutely what it's all about & any different opinions are just that, opinions. That area is truly an amazing part of Scotland, so wild. Amazing shot of the stag in the car park at 02:05. One of my favourite video's of yours x

    Do you know that during WW2 Gruinard Island was laced with anthrax as part of biological warfare experiments which killed specimen sheep on the island, after the anthrax bombs were dropped. Some time later, the carcass of an affected sheep was washed up on the mainland, after which a dog ate some of the carcass and became violently ill and died. After numerous subsequent unexplained livestock deaths on the area opposite the island in Gruinard Bay area and subsequent public disquiet and immediate pay offs by the ministry of defence, the Island was supposedly cleaned up and all spores removed by the ministry of defence by the 90's. Early this year in 2022, when you would not expect a natural fire because it is so wet, Gruinard Island was on fire from end to end. Was Anthrax found again by Porton Down and a fire set to eradicate newly found Anthrax spores the decision they took ? We will never know. Anyway what is for certain, I would not let any member of my family disturb earth or sand in Gruinard Bay area.

There is inadequate infrastructure to support such a high volume and this has lead to : dumping of waste into public toilets / water courses / car parks, parking up in completely inappropriate locations (school car parks, cemeteries, people driveways), inability to drive on single track roads (holding up traffic, unable to reverse etc)…it’s been a nightmare and videos like this just glamourise it all.
