    I like traveling like this alone, because nobody else wants to wait 3 hours with me hoping for the weather to adjust a bit. The photos you got are absolutely otherworldly!

    I can't believe I've only just watched this video 😮 It was absolutely brilliant.The way Glenn makes you feel like you're there with him is so warming. The editing was excellent and the trip itself was fascinating. One of my favourites from the channel 👍

    It certainly doesn't look like Central Texas (where I abide). Scotland has been a place I've wanted to visit since I was a wee thing but it won't happen now. I'll just ride along with you wherever you wander and enjoy the mist, clouds, snow, mountains, and the rest of God's creation through your lens. Absoluting stunning! Thank you!!

    This is what the Internet was supposed to be. I can sit in Florida, USA and travel the world. Great people make some phenomenal ride- alongs that we may never see for ourselves. A simple like and sub as thanks for the trip seems too little. Safe travels and keep it up.

    Really, really enjoyed the video. At 73yrs of age you are taking me to places where I could never visit, but with your calm relaxed description and superb photography I feel that I am with you experiencing the fantastic scenery of Scotland. Next year we are planning to take our caravan to Fort William and you are giving me ideas of where to visit and filling in places of where we could not gt to.

    Love Skye... was hoping you would have walked up to Camasunary beach from Elgol... I saw the old bothie I stayed at in 2009. We hiked up the coast from Elgol and had a fab night there.. seeing the b roll at 1:01:24 with Sgurr Na Stri in clag to the left of the bothie brought back memories. If or when you go back mate I highly recmmend a hike up to the beach - you will be at the foot of Blaven and won't be disappointed. As ever wonderful episode.. I don't comment much these dasy but with it being your 1st forray up there I need to say something.. a smile on your face tells me you will be back. atb Al

    This brings back memories for me. Several years ago we visited England and drove to Scotland and I believe this was the road we took. We drove through Glencoe. WE visited the castle and we stayed in a place across from Locke Ness. We drove around the Locke and back down. Old Man of Storr was absolutely Beautiful. I felt like I was home. I have a little Scottish, Irish in me. We didn't go to Isle Of Skye. We were with my husband's boss and his wife at the time and he was always in a hurry. So we didn't get to go. I would have loved it all. So much I wanted to see, but didn't get to do.

    My husband and I visited Portree but didn't have enough time to see the Old man of Storr. It was amazing to see it looming out of the mist, it looked mystical, almost like a cathedral. The drone shots above the clouds and the coast line were smashing.

    First time watching your channel. Loved it and you are one funny guy! I was hoping for some good light and photos of the castle in the beginning but the ending was serendipitous, you got the SHOT! My sister and I are coming to Scotland for the month of September 2023. We are Scottish and just want to take in all the countryside. We'll be doing some hiking and lots of photography. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your adventures. I know how daunting it is. You make it look easy.

    I'm in stitches. Just that brief shot of the woman pushing her stroller up the mountain (to Storr) and the faint echos of a baby screaming. It's so real. I tend to romanticize travel and destinations...and completely forget about the human element. I love your attitude. Beautiful filming. Thank you for sharing!!

    Bit late getting to this video but really pleased you came here. Elgol is probably my favourite place in the whole of the UK, the view across Loch Skavaig to the Cuillins on a clear day is sensational. The boat trip across to Loch Coruisk takes you into the heart of the mountains across the bay, passing a seal colony on the way. Another trip goes to the gorgeous little island of Canna, I saw deer, wild horses and dolphins that day ❤ It’s a stunning place 😊 Another wonderful place on Skye is the Fairy Pools on the west side of the Cuillins in Glen Brittle

    I think the Old Man of Storr should be taken as in the fog...it has a mystical quality to it and it made me catch my breath...honestly
    it was literally breathtaking. Beautiful as it was I don't think it matches the Lake District...still the most beautiful place on earth for me. The castle was beautiful and atmospheric...it felt like a vampire should have been flying around it! I have to say greedy as I am those fish and chips are battling with the tower of eggs and black pudding with what I will have tomorrow...I am in bed and absolutely starving now! The pictures you take are the best I have seen anywhere and my heart literally skips a beat when I look at
    them. I am unable to travel at the moment so thank you so much for doing these videos, and bringing these wonderful images to me - I will certainly become a member soon when I am earning again.

I so want to go there , and hopefully one day I will.I was thinking of driving up to the lakedistrict this weekend, but the weather forecast is not good , (rain)but who knows, the mist might clear ,and just to be there is so magical in all forms of weather .Your photo s that you did take were so good., your drone footage sublime.Thanks so much, dont ever stop, we need guys like you .

    Hi there. I just stumpled upon your channel while watching my favourite hillwalking channels. It brings back memories of my recent four and a bit months trip to Scotland. I took up hillwalking seriously this year in spite of having visited Scotland almost every year for over twenty years. I stayed in a few different areas but my trips to Skye and Uists and of course Glencoe gave me the best hillwalking experiences. Nice to be able to revisit a few of the places through your excellent camera work. 😃
    PS: One reason they were a bit hostile to your stay at the roadside in Glen Etive might be that you are not supposed to park in a passing place - hint the sign is in your video @8:16 😉
    PPS: I've now subscribed to your channel 😁

    Just stumbled across this one, honestly, one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. I wentvto Skye for the first time recently and it has stolen my heart.
    I'm planning some winter wildcamps up there, and on Rannoch moor (walking in from Bridge of Orchy). You might want to investigate that walk too, it surrounds you in mountains and the vast barren but beautiful moorland.
