As seasoned Skye visitors we have some suggestions for you. When its windy head low and avoid the coast (if you can). We have had empty beer crates hit our vehicle and at times struggle to open the doors! As for hot tips .... the Aros Centre (Portree) has a tree shadowed car park. Go round to the foot of the Cuillins Hotel and there is a public car park on the shore also shaded by tall trees. At Staffin there is the public car park at the harbour/port. Also there in Staffin is the Columba 1400 Centre (check opening times). Head over to the Skeabost to the ancient graveyard, with free parking at the Local Hall. Talisker Distillery at Carbost is a great spot as is Portnalong just up the road. Great food spot is Stein (waternish). Finally, there are lots of spots around Dunvegan. Enjoy the island and remember it's all about the clothes not the weather.
Fellow Motorhomers……. A thought about advertising park- ups on a public forum. I,like you, like to wild camp and have found some wonderful places to park in Scotland. You and I are responsible motorhomers finding it more difficult to get free park ups. The big problem about showing these places is hire van fleets. Potential hire van campers glean this information and plan their break around free park-ups, what they don’t research is where to empty their waste. I have witnessed first hand hire vaners breaking the wild camp code on numerous occasions. High summer is the worst time for it. Because they think they can `just get a site for the night’ to empty and fill they think they have it sorted. Well in summer all sites in the highlands are mostly fully booked out. These people then panic as the red light is on on their cassette this is when they dump the waste at park ups at night and leave everyone else tarred with their brush. Motorhomers will always find somewhere to park, even if it’s on the street so please don’t give out info on park ups when on UA-cam.
God's Country - Skye is Beautiful, and full of Beautiful people. It's a place that needs respecting. As for the weather, there's plenty to go around. My dear departed Mam's favourite place after her original home in the Yorkshire Dales. Me and our kid will be scattering some of her ashes there in late spring. Great channel, glad found it.
Can’t imagine why anyone would want to holiday here in the winter ? Horrendous weather , horizontal rain week after week , 6 hours daylight ! You ought to try living here 😂 Many people do and only manage one winter
Thanks for sharing. Great drone footage. Was there just above Portree in June this year despite the ScotRail strikes which nearly ended our whole trip! Sky, the old man and the Cuillin range was amazing. Such a place and so wild (away from the busy spots).
Campbell I don't drive but you and Gemma have made old lad happy this is first time I've seen your vlog I and my sweet💖 used to travel buy coach tours in the 70s so love the patter this was one of the tour and we did it by ferry .no bridge I'm going to watch your runs from now on
my nan told me many a story about Skye and I am mesmerised and get this kind of longing in my heart to come see it for myself. The colors are just amazing. its exactly as she described it. Thank you for sharing.
I will never forget that hairpin turn because I DID stall on it a couple of days ago. Mainly because the guy we met coming down didn't give me much room. Also, we are from Canada, still getting used to left side driving and using manual AND I'm 75. Thanks for the drone shots of it so I can show family back home to prove how hard it was. Portree many be a nice sleepy town in the winter but when we drove through it on Sept 1st it was packed with tourists. We were grateful that our accommodation was in Uig. THAT is a nice sleepy town. Keep up the good work!
We stayed on a campsite in Skye,opened the door in the morning and stags right outside !! Stunning place, red squirrels,beware of huge logging trucks,narrow roads !!
Just went there today and the gods shined upon us it was cracking weather in fact the entire trip around Scotland thus far as been brilliant. I have watched most of your videos so far and the place has lived up to it’s name. Beautiful scenery, stunning views the people are so friendly.
Watching this on a wild and very windy evening here in the NW, so can't imagine what it must have felt like on the Isle of Skye in Ellie!! Some stunning drone footage Campbell and Gemma. As for the parking ticket and finding out you could have parked up for 24 hours...we live and learn sometimes the expensive way though!! Anyway take care and look forward to more of your adventures on Skye.
yeah it was pretty scary at times haha! Managed to hunker down though and it all paid off 😁 yup our lives just seem to be full of expensive and entertaining lessons haha! thanks for the support Susan!
Great video guys. We did the nc500 in June going from lindisfarne round to Skye. We are from Cornwall where the parking situation is crazy so we found 95% of our travels very welcoming - often £1 overnight but Skye, yeah all the hotspots are cashing in but still very reasonably I think. We’ll be back soon, love Scotland
I love the openess you both show to the true ups & downs of vanlife. Its so refreshing. Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to next weekend's video
Yipeeeee, love the opening swim,well done you two. It does refresh ones self, mind, body and soul..... off to watch the rest now, just had to comment on how delighted ye had a good swim. Watched the rest, beautiful scenery, well done on great exploring. Sorry about hiccups, we do learn as we go. Thanks for sharing.
My wife’s family come from the Isle of Skye. We were married in Portree 27 years ago this July and we come ‘home’ every year. Sadly, due to COVID, we couldn’t return home for our Silver Wedding anniversary in 2020, but we had a grandson born on our anniversary instead. We are disabled campervanners from Fife and love touring Scotland. Enjoyed your video although I would have been tempted to head down to the sheltered side of the island. So many beautiful places to see on Skye. Looking forward to your next video and to catch up on some of your previous videos.
Hopefully you can visit this year instead 😁aw i know we were searching high and low for shelter but the wind was just everywhere on the island! Thanks for the support and happy travels!
Hey all, I can answer your question about where there is any other place a lovely as what you saw: The Outer Hebrides comes to mind. I see beauty like you filmed right up the road from me. I suspect each area of Scotland has its own particular charms and drop-dead scenery, though, and you need to just accept that the whole country is just flipping gorgeous...
Fantastic video. The Isle of Skye is one of my all time favourite destinations. Sadly the last time we visited, the bridge was about to be completed and it was the old ferry to Kyle of Lochalsh. Nice to hear good Scottish voices. Ar ra best from a long exiled Scot beside a very windy seaside today in West Sussex. Regards Crawford
As someone who is from skye and regularly drives buses over to skye in service. The bridge is advised to be closed but you can more than likely can get over it. Just take it slow and you'll get over
icey water invigorating, i swam in the snowy river up in the high country in Australian winter. Left me cold and tired but worth it. lol. Great video guys.
Brilliant nice to see a uk cupule doing a travel show on UA-cam, having done the same trip in our camper brings back memories only I don’t remember so many restrictions on packing. Keep having fun and enjoy your life to the fullest.
the photgraphy on the way up to The Old Man is stunning! The cynic in me tells me that the parking rules are deliberately confusing because they all want your money!!
Just WOW! Amazing Isle of Skye. A stunning place that is going onto my bucket list of places to visit. Just can’t imagine what it must have been like during the stormy weather but you endured the onslaught. Drone footage was amazing (even though you almost got frostbite to achieve it). Thank you for your hard work to bring us these very entertaining and informative vlogs, looking forward to next weeks 😄👍
@@highlands2hammocks do you really like it ? might seem an odd question but people often say they like things they dont lol. Skye gets me down at times. its very bleak and never stops raining.
Agree with surly trucker, we were camper vaning in the highlands in October and there is definitely an air of the locals not wanting MotorhomeCampervan there ..we had one guy give the finger sign ,as we passed each other on the road .He was in his car and we in the van ...Such a shame,as tourists are a life line to the highlands...We would think twice,before we return..
It is a shame but it is the tiny majority that seem to think their opinion matters ☺️ everyone we met and spoke with in Scotland loves visitors and the life changing tourism that they have brought
Great video guys, being there in February it baffles me as to the train of thought from the councils, as its not vastly populated this time of year ....handing out parking tickets man ...I really don't know how some of these "people " sleep at night . Keep up the good work guys .
I'll soon be approaching 30 visits to Skye. Evenings at the The Old Inn at Carbost are hard to beat. If I was to recommend one mountain it would be Bruach Na Frithe on the Northern Cuillin, a munro that isn't too difficult to summit.
This video gave me soo much excitement for our next trip. Feels like every time you visit Skye is a whole new experience and I cannot wait to get back again. Thank you for bringing us along on this fantastic virtual getaway. 😊 Sorry to hear about the parking ticket… it can be super annoying. Once we had a different experience in the Lakes, the machine charged me outside of paid parking ours, lol. Cannot wait to see the next episode - you guys constantly keeps us craving for more. ❤️
To prevent you losing more toilet screw caps add a fair amount of water in the cassette (after you empty it of course), screw the lid on and give it a good shake making sure you turn it around in all directions and this will flush the cap. Unscrew and empty again and all clean😅😊. Cheers and enjoy.
Nice vlog guys. We'll sign up for Patreon tomorrow to cover some of your toilet mishaps. Sharons boss used to walk her dogs around Storr and the needle. We'll be there one day. X
Hi Emma Campbell great blog I went to isle of sky being disabled I can’t walk I nearly killed my self getting to the waterfall witch goes over the cliffs on to the beach got to the viewing platform,,,,.guess what,,,no water not even a drop ,,lol hehe so watching you two shows me what I missed thank you for that ,great blog,till next time take care keep safe, John 😇😇🥰☔️☔️👏🌟😂😆🥂🍻🌹🥰😇🙏🙏🍫
Aah, sconny botland! I heard you. 😉 It certainly is stunning scenery, but I'm not sure when we will get there, just fuel costs alone, let alone food and accommodation means it's probably unlikely so watching your excellent videos may well have to do.
My wife and I love your content. I know you keep talking about a projector. I can send you a mini projector if you'd like. Only used it twice. Too small for my house but would be perfect for your van. Conor and Fionnuala
Your so lucky being able to tour Scotland and the islands. Are you going to do Shetland and her islands. I would love to go there. Did Glasgow, Oban and Edinburgh earlier this year, loved it. But we are restricted by Haggis our Westie. Loved the video. Your not a real driver until you get a parking or speeding ticket. Got both.
Hi guys, I'm just back from Skye a few hours ago tonight in my T5 LWB, the weather was wild, snow, sleet rain, and gale-force winds, But Skye is still amazing, and ill be back.
we psent 5 days onskye in December, mist everywhere so not much to see, but just enough to say, you need to come back..... and we did the same in portree, stayed for a couple of hours thinking you couldt park..... so thanks for the tip... cheers
Lovely video and great drone footage ❤️ I live here by Skye and was trying to work out where the run down carpark was in Kyle? Then I realised it was Balmacara Square 🙂 Can you remember where you got the Highland Cow bobble head on your dashboard from? I'd love to find a supplier of them 🙂
I was skye last September for two nights. Went around the island on day one and the weather was very poor which was disappointing. Got up the second day to head North and it was so nice I went around again 👍😎
Thanks for showing us around on the Isle of skye it reminded us of our trip,due to its location the weather changes all the time.just bad luck on the parking ticket though. We had such a good time despite going in winter.take care and safe travels 💚🙋
Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We would be living there now if we left when planned. but there's always a reason for delays. Only discovered your site three days ago. Already hooked
What a completely brilliant video. Really simple presentation, great chemistry between you both. Very warm and honest. Loved it. Don’t forget the Talisker distillery next time! 😀🥃
Thank you 😁 glad you enjoyed it! Yeah we can’t wait to visit there as they were building a new visitor centre when we visited so couldn’t tour there as well ☺️
First started coming to skye in mid eighties ,parking was free, The parking fees in towns were lifted between sept & march main carpark in portree was free , no overnight parking 8 pm -8 am . until covid cleared away the motorhomes it was like a campsite people took no notice . the council saw a chance to make money . i never thought they would ever put meters in such places as the storr & quirang , !!!!!!
Just love watching your videos, we are from a place called forres morayshire, and are very new to motorhoming. We have tried a few wild camping nights also a few campsites. So enjoying it so far . Keep the videos coming, and if your ever passing through, we have a driveway to park up,with electric and water ,free to to u guys xx
I look forward to your weekly videos! A suggestion if I may. Get the part for the casket and maybe have a spare for the Ooops? Stay safe and warm, see ya next weekend! ~from Phx AZ USA~
I was worried for you when you said you were Skye bound and those storms were forecast. Once again it shows how unwelcome Motorhomes are with the lack of park ups, especially on Skye but hopefully it's changing. I just hope MH users don't ruin it by abusing it. Following your footsteps again next week with a trip to Cairngorm to see the pyramid and the waterfall at Muir of Dinnit.
They have already ruined it by abusing it ☹️ You should try living here , people just come here and do whatever they think fit , they are all under the misapprehension that everyone likes them ! Not the case
Great Vlog again from you both. I love rain hitting our van at night but yeah not a fan of strong winds though. We're coming back to Scotland this year for the first time in our current van so cant wait for that. Looking forward to your next vid next week :)
We have considered them as they are brilliant, however, we like to be able to keep the window clear in case we want to drive away in a hurry (dramas of parking up wild 😂) so an external cover would obviosuly mean we need to leave the van before we drive.
Really Enjoyed video and the little bits re parking machine button pushing in Porter, hoping to see in spring 22. That hill you climbed looked challenging but do able for the RV we will be renting as it is about same size. Thankyou
Hi guys, love your videos. My partner and I used to have a converted transit which we loved touring Scotland in. We now manage an estate just outside Spean Bridge so had to sell as job is very tying. Come van camp on the beautiful Loch Lochy, we'd love to meet you guys. 4000 acres to choose the perfect spot to van camp.
@@highlands2hammocks Have faith in your van. I know rain hammering on the roof is loud and it rocks in the wind. How many times you hear vans blow over? You are more in tune with nature than those living in brick houses.
As someone who lives on a Scottish island, I believe visitors and guests should experience the raw beauty of winter.
It's certainly a different experience but we absolutely love it! You just can't beat the snowcapped mountains 😍
Spent two weeks on isle of skye in month of oct, most beautiful place, fab people, will definitely go back
So glad you enjoyed it there 😁 it's one of our favourite places!

It’s beautiful 😍 glad you enjoyed the video!
Isle of Skye is breathtakingly beautiful. Another place to add to my growing list of places I want to visit. 🙂

Incredible 😁 we were camping one time and the same thing happened!

Another fantastic upload guys with awesome footage looking forward to the next one. Take care stay safe.👍🏼

It really is! Such an incredible place!
Love watching you guys always look forward to the next video xx
Thanks for all your support Sandra 😁
Lots of useful info and great scenery tonight guys, thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Great video guys. We did the nc500 in June going from lindisfarne round to Skye. We are from Cornwall where the parking situation is crazy so we found 95% of our travels very welcoming - often £1 overnight but Skye, yeah all the hotspots are cashing in but still very reasonably I think. We’ll be back soon, love Scotland
Thank you 😁 yeah parking in Scotland is great for the most part as there is just so much space!
I love the openess you both show to the true ups & downs of vanlife. Its so refreshing. Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to next weekend's video

Hi guys, I'm just back from Skye a few hours ago tonight in my T5 LWB, the weather was wild, snow, sleet rain, and gale-force winds, But Skye is still amazing, and ill be back.
Such a beautiful place in all weathers isn’t it! We love it too 😁
Does anything ever get Gemma down? What a terrific attitude to life. You're such a lucky guy Campbell .
we psent 5 days onskye in December, mist everywhere so not much to see, but just enough to say, you need to come back..... and we did the same in portree, stayed for a couple of hours thinking you couldt park..... so thanks for the tip... cheers
Aw love those moody vibes in scotland! When the sky is clear it’s incredible but I love the winter weather as well
can I suggest you fit a pair of caravan corner steadies, you should be able to find them at a caravan breakers. They will reduce the windy rocking !
Great suggestion thanks 😁
Love it guys xx 💖💖👌
thank you! 😁
Lovely video and great drone footage ❤️ I live here by Skye and was trying to work out where the run down carpark was in Kyle? Then I realised it was Balmacara Square 🙂 Can you remember where you got the Highland Cow bobble head on your dashboard from? I'd love to find a supplier of them 🙂
Thank you 😁 haha that’s crazy that you recognised it 😂 we bought it in a small gift shop in braemar 😁
@@highlands2hammocksI used to have one of the workshops there, maybe you didn’t notice them in the dark though. Thanks for the info on the cow 😀
KEEP ER LIT
Gotta keep that lit!
What a beauty Isle of Skye is! You guys are a great couple, great video!
Aww thank you so much guys, we are so glad you enjoyed it 😁 Isle of Skye is definitely one of our favourite places!
Great thanks 👌
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video 😁
Thank you 😊
I was skye last September for two nights. Went around the island on day one and the weather was very poor which was disappointing. Got up the second day to head North and it was so nice I went around again 👍😎
Yeah it can sure have some miserable weather! Glad you got to enjoy it in the sunshine 😁
Thanks for showing us around on the Isle of skye it reminded us of our trip,due to its location the weather changes all the time.just bad luck on the parking ticket though.
We had such a good time despite going in winter.take care and safe travels 💚🙋
Glad you enjoyed the video 😁 and you’re time on Skye!
You guys learn things like i do……..the hard way. Haha
Haha always 😂
Yous need the parking apt do all on your done even if you’ve left your car 👍
That does sound handy! 😁
Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We would be living there now if we left when planned. but there's always a reason for delays. Only discovered your site three days ago. Already hooked
Thanks for the support 😊 you will need to visit one day instead!
What a completely brilliant video. Really simple presentation, great chemistry between you both. Very warm and honest. Loved it. Don’t forget the Talisker distillery next time! 😀🥃
Thank you 😁 glad you enjoyed it! Yeah we can’t wait to visit there as they were building a new visitor centre when we visited so couldn’t tour there as well ☺️
First started coming to skye in mid eighties ,parking was free, The parking fees in towns were lifted between sept & march main carpark in portree was free , no overnight parking 8 pm -8 am . until covid cleared away the motorhomes it was like a campsite people took no notice . the council saw a chance to make money . i never thought they would ever put meters in such places as the storr & quirang , !!!!!!
I enjoyed your videos, as always, but the song @ 15:00 really popped out to me. Good call.
Thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Looks so cosy
Gemma smoking that cake!! Wow
Thanks 😂
Just love watching your videos, we are from a place called forres morayshire, and are very new to motorhoming.
We have tried a few wild camping nights also a few campsites.
So enjoying it so far .
Keep the videos coming, and if your ever passing through, we have a driveway to park up,with electric and water ,free to to u guys xx
So glad you are enjoying the videos Karen and also great to hear you are loving motorhoming 😁 thank you so much, that is very kind of you ❤️
Maybe you're dropping things because your hands are cold.
Fantastic landscapes.
Stay cozy.
Aye, this is a bonnie video! Love from Canada :)
Thank you 😁
I look forward to your weekly videos! A suggestion if I may. Get the part for the casket and maybe have a spare for the Ooops? Stay safe and warm, see ya next weekend! ~from Phx AZ USA~
I was worried for you when you said you were Skye bound and those storms were forecast. Once again it shows how unwelcome Motorhomes are with the lack of park ups, especially on Skye but hopefully it's changing. I just hope MH users don't ruin it by abusing it. Following your footsteps again next week with a trip to Cairngorm to see the pyramid and the waterfall at Muir of Dinnit.
They have already ruined it by abusing it ☹️ You should try living here , people just come here and do whatever they think fit , they are all under the misapprehension that everyone likes them ! Not the case
Great Vlog again from you both. I love rain hitting our van at night but yeah not a fan of strong winds though. We're coming back to Scotland this year for the first time in our current van so cant wait for that. Looking forward to your next vid next week :)
Have you thought about an external insulated screen cover? Brilliant for cutting down heat loss and eliminating condensation on the windows in winter.
We have considered them as they are brilliant, however, we like to be able to keep the window clear in case we want to drive away in a hurry (dramas of parking up wild 😂) so an external cover would obviosuly mean we need to leave the van before we drive.
Really Enjoyed video and the little bits re parking machine button pushing in Porter, hoping to see in spring 22. That hill you climbed looked challenging but do able for the RV we will be renting as it is about same size. Thankyou
Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you have a lovely trip
Hi guys, love your videos. My partner and I used to have a converted transit which we loved touring Scotland in. We now manage an estate just outside Spean Bridge so had to sell as job is very tying. Come van camp on the beautiful Loch Lochy, we'd love to meet you guys. 4000 acres to choose the perfect spot to van camp.
Great video, keep them coming, can I ask where you bought your lights in the van? the ones going round the ceiling
Thank you! We got them from either B&M or Poundland I believe
Great video guys your luck sounds like ours lol hope you don't get any more fines
Thank you so much 😁and yeah fingers crossed haha!
We were in Portree and I saw hooded crows. Also a gannet on the northern tip.
Having learned the knack of sleeping through Gale force winds in a tent, I hope you guys can find being comatose through the worst weather easier.
Haha thank you! It is pushing us to the edge hard these days 😂just never ending!
@@highlands2hammocks Have faith in your van. I know rain hammering on the roof is loud and it rocks in the wind. How many times you hear vans blow over? You are more in tune with nature than those living in brick houses.
