Tiny Van Life on the Isle of Mull, Scotland
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2021
- Our van adventures on the Isle of Mull begin by heading to Lochbuie, before moving west to Fionnhport with a quick trip to the stunning Isle of Iona. We absolutely loved Iona and definitely want to make it somewhere we go back to and spend longer at next time! We then start heading north. Join us next week for more tiny van life on Mull!

I panicked slightly when I thought you were going in for a swim. If anything could have induced an early pregnancy it would be water as cold as Scotland's (without the gulf stream to assist)! 🥶
Beautiful video though..
WOW! We were not planning to visit Mull on our 3 week trip to Scotland next year, but thanks to this video it is now on the itinerary. A real pleasure to share the journey with you.
Looks lovely. My family have been going to Mull since the 80s
I got back this morning from a week on Arran. There's something about being on an island, it just feels different. Arran is so beautiful. Saw Seals 🦭 Otters, amazing bird life. Can't wait to return. I travelled round in my little van wild camping every night. Just heaven
Lovely to see Mull again, I was lucky enough to live there in the 70's. 1 year at Pennyghael , on the road towards Iona and 3 years at Aros, just south of Tobermory. A beautiful island, am looking forward to your next video, thanks.
We rented a house at Aros. It was stunning. 😊

I lived in Pennyghael in 1985-86-87
My parents and I have been going to fidden for over 40 years. Best place to camp ever! It’s got a very special place in our hearts! It has this crazy microclimate there, the mainland and northern part of mull can’t be horrendous weather and the leg is usually in the sun!
Can’t believe you guys are on mull! We try to keep it a secret as we don’t want it getting busy 😜😜
Hope you enjoyed! 🤟🏼
I agree , shhhhh...keep Scotland's secrets secret....not much chance with all these influencers wanting to make their content all the time. Sad.
My wife and I just watched this with both jealousy and fond memories. We spent Christmas on Iona in 2018. Such a beautiful Island and the locals were so welcoming. The smell of the land as we drove across Mull was just so earthy. love the vids,
So glad it brought back some good memories for you and I hope you can head back soon!
This video inspired our trip to Mull in the summer months. We return in November to live and work full time. It's so special - a place unlike any other. Thank you.
This looks like a movie. It's so refreshing to see it's more about the sites and the experiences vs other travel videos where it's so centered about the people. I feel like I'm traveling with you which is what I know a lot of people are desperate to do at this time.
The West coast of Scotland takes no selling to me. Stunning start to your trip & your breakfasts don't half make my stomach rumble. Hope you got to glimpse the White-tailed Sea Eagles while you were there. Can't wait for Part 2 mate xx
We didn’t manage to see any sea eagles but had a fab trip! We’ll have to go back!! Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Wonderfully Zen as ever, stunning locations.
Some great choice of music, and you always seem to capture the essence of the islands. Chilled and atmospheric.
Thanks Mark!
Thank you!
Ahoy Pirates! So glad I've found your channel! One can always learn from the best. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures. Great footage! God bless, cheers to you! .) Captain of the good old Blackthorne
Hi Athena! I'm living on Iona for the summer, i'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's such a beautiful place
Wow what a dream! We loved it there and are already thinking of heading back either this summer or when we have the little one to spend a few days there ☺️ hope you’re enjoying your time there!
@@RambleFamily They do day trips to Iona, but although it's a small island, it is absolutely fascinating if you take your time and spend a few days or a week there. On the west of the island are beautiful long beaches and sand dunes where you can spend the whole day in perfect isolation with the sound of the waves!
The beauty of this place fills the soul !
🥰So lovely, Thank you. I only wish I could smell the sea air.
Made me homesick. I was born on the Isle of Mull....
Mull is my Brigadoon, my favorite place on the planet. We had so many family holidays there and are looking forward to going back; Oslo is so chilled... Thanks for this, it brings back so many beautiful memories.
That opening footage with the music and fading to natural sounds was just so beautiful ❤️ looking forwards to part 2!
Thanks so much! We put a lot of time into the sound so it's great that that didn't go unnoticed :)
@@RambleFamily And yet somehow the lovely music didn’t seem to detract from the harsh reality of seagull shit spattered on a dirty CalMac ferry window on a dreich day in the West coast of Scotland. So, so poetic.
I wish I were there!! Very peacefull island !!! Iona ,such a magic place!!!
Be well you two!! Enjoy the life!!
Greetings from Greece!!!😃
I love mull, so wild, so much nature, so peaceful..... All the single track road is a pain in the arse mind 😄
You can still go on adventures with a baby, my son was only 3 months when we were last on mull 😁
Oslo is the main character of these videos.
Always..
Beautiful as always, I sat here with a warm smile on my face the whole way through. Can't wait to see you all again soon xxx
This was absolutely beautiful. Brought back lots of happy memories.
So beautifully captured as always! Mull and Iona look so stunning, I'm really looking forward to a trip to the islands sometime.
I love how you capture the beauty in simple moments 💗
Athena what a marvellous film. Wonderful Mull and Iona. So beautiful. Congrats to you and Harvey too on the baby. Looking forward to the next film.
Stunning video. Brought back memories long forgotten from my time there.....
Lovely relaxing video Well done guys🙂I was fortunate anough to have visited mull on one occasion on many of my Highland Journeys up from the South Coast of England. Unfortunately I was not able to make the most of it as these were work trips,And I do remember getting my van stuck in mud on a track up to a site.
I had no phone signal to get help (Which was ironic because I was working on a mobile phone tower,No people anyway Just the sound of the relentless rain and sheep...Lots of them!But a friendly local came to my rescue and drove me up to there cottage to use the landline to get rescued. As much as things good have been better on this particular trip,I've put the place on my bucket list to return on a leisure trip As the natural beauty of the place is stunning whatever the weather!
The colours in your videos are just stunning. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Beautiful! Scotland is so pretty. Thank you for sharing your day with us!
So relaxing and calming to watch, glad you guys enjoyed your trip! ❤️
Lovely vlog. Been to Mull and Iona a dozen times, always out of season, never tire of the beauty and solitude.
Wow watched twice in a row, everything that I love all wrapped up in a beautiful video . 🙏🏻 Thank you both and not forgetting dear Oslo 🐶
This video is absolutely stunning...
Pure art and soul soothing
Relaxed lovely beautiful of two people loving life and what they are doing.
Your videos make my Sunday evenings so much better ❤️ thank you for sharing your adventures with us
Breathtakingly beautiful. I need to get there some day.
Simply stunning……peaceful way to end my work day. Thank you for sharing your adventure. 💕
Great couple, great video, blessed with weather, love the music, swim as well, happy days 😊 😎 ❤️
This was beautiful! Thoroughly enjoyed x
I like what you did with music and sounds. It makes your videos beyond amazing.
Thank YOU !
I find your videos so inspiring. You capture small moments so beautifully, like just making a cup of tea or putting some lunch together. I find when I make a cup of tea after seeing one of your videos, i notice all the little details more - like the steam rising from the cup. It feels extra meaningful somehow. So thank you for that💕
Looks amazing and very tranquil....thanks for sharing x
Absolutely beautiful. Life is so good. The location is so stunning and peaceful
Thank you for sharing. Living halfway across the planet, I love being able to vicariously participate in your adventures. Which are truly great by the way.
Another lovely video. Highlight this week: Harvey eating chips and saying, with a serious face, "Very happy." :D
Loved your vlog , you two look so happy,I went to Isle of Eigg a good few years ago it was beautiful just like mull,I still remember the bluey greeness of the sea, paradise, enjoy ❤️
Wow it looks amazing, just had a first taste of Scotland for a few days, last week & the isle of Bute was stunning when we went to the bays.
Cant wait to plan next adventure up there
So, so lovely! Me and my dog will hopefully be in Oban in September (it's my favourite place) and we'll be watching those ferries come and go. Mull takes some beating, and your footage was beautiful. xx
This is so beautifully put together Athena . I feel very peaceful now :) xxx
Beautiful ! Such a peaceful vlog💚🐾
Ahhh another lovely video. Looks absolutely stunning, you both look so happy and Oslo is such a good boy....take care and you are looking so well and blossoming 🌸😊 pregnancy suits you xx
Another wonderful video, you never fail to put a smile on my face and give me so much inspiration and excitement for when I can finally go on adventures like this!
So pleased to hear that!
Oh that looks so beautiful! I loved the dark clouds paired with sun on the ferry over there. Can't wait to see what you get up to in the next video :) Glad you are enjoying your van freedom while you can!
Thanks Vicky!
Beautiful video Athena! Discovered your channel a few weeks ago and it inspired me to organise my first solo camping trip, leaving for Tiree this week 😄🌞
Hope to get to Mull one day. It is an island I have seen from various directions. I knew all 3 of you would like it. Look forward to part 2😊. Take care Janet
Mull is such a beautiful relaxing island and one of my favourite places. It also the first place I got to properly see otters . This brought back so many good memories. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! 🌻
Such a wonderful video, totally chilling, thank you.
Lovely place, looks so tranquil🙏
Wonderful video, full of great memories for us as we just got back from Mull yesterday. We couldn’t resist a blanket from Ardalanish Weavers, loved Lochbuie and Iona and of course it was a great surprise to meet the three of you in Tobermory and share the experience of the amazing wildlife trip to Staffa and Lunga. Looking forward to seeing more of your trip next week.
Just on a purely artistic level I love your videos, the use of natural light and thoughtful composition is very enjoyable to watch.
Beautiful landscape and video again so relaxing to watch
Beautiful.....love the tiny van life...
Thankyou, your videos are so lovely to watch, relaxing and lots of travel and hiking inspiration😊!! I would love to visit soon!
I really enjoy watching your videos. Especially this time! ❤ Don't know why, but that peaceful atmosphere was so touching, that i had to cry. I wish you and your little family all the best. Thank you for sharing this. Greetings from Germany 😊
Thanks so much! so pleased you enjoy our videos..
What an incredible beautiful, captivating video. Thank you. It's been 15 years since I visited Mull - about time I got back there.
This looks amazing. I'm on a week's walking in the Cambrian mountains, a much underrated part of the country. Unforgettable! The sea looks glorious where you are - and the food!
Would love to visit there! I hope you’re enjoying it 😊
Stunning!!! Really enjoyed it!❤️🌿🌺
Thanks so much Marcelle!
Wow thanks guys that was just the tonic I needed after a day at work looked really beautiful ❤️😊
Thanks Paul 😊
Really lovely video Athena. I can see the effort that went into the filming, editing, music, and bringing it all together. Great work 😎👍. ATB Dave
I'm a Maclean so that is my ancestral home. But I've not visited Mull! So, having completed my stealth jumbo transit conversion, I'm headed up in early October. And watching your beautifully shot video, I'm even more excited that I was already if that's possible! Thank you so much. Doubt you reply after a few weeks as you're onto other blogs but that's grand....I just wanted to send a wee bit of positivity and gratitude your way as you continue your travels. New subscriber lovely people 😍😍🙏
Loved this...so beautiful xx
You captured the vibe wonderfully 💙🏴
Thanks for such a peaceful video, guys! My two kids love watching your wonderful adventures:) I was happy to hear about your pregnancy, congratulations! It brought back the memories of me being pregnant, I loved it! Never felt as close to the source of all creation as I did when my kids had there first material dwelling close to my heart....Wish you all the best!
Its has been great to watch can't wait too get uptown Mull etc myself.
It was so lovely to come to Mull with you. It reminded me of when Stan and I camped there. It’s a stunning island. 😊
That’s lovely. How’s Stan? How are y‘all doing?
Thank you for the tip on Ardalanish Weavers! That’s an anniversary present for my wife sorted!
The first 5 minutes was amazing to watch, the whole video was amazing but the beginning was just stunning photography and video😲😃👍
Amazing place, looked desolate, perfect! Great video🤘

Thank you 😊
You are amazing. Beautiful people are in beautiful places. I'm in love with your videos.
Thanks so much Elena!
I think we might see a little couple (with a child and a doggy) owning a house/cabin somewhere in the Scotish Islands. Incredible video, like always!
Hi, just watched your visit to Mull, my wife and I were there 10 years ago and we will return, didn’t do enough planning prior due our spontaneous lifestyle, done all of the tourist trail but got of the byways and beachfront to experience the quality of this beautiful island, went on to Skye following this trip, which is equally as good apart from all the tourist hubbub.
Thanks for sharing, would love to visit, the beaches look wonderful. ❤
Quite a few excellent video shots well done Harvey, (Athena was in some of them so it had to be Harvey.) it all brought back great memories.
wonderful photography & music - Iona is special
Beautiful place lovely video. Dad took us there in his caravanette in the 80's we went all over Scotland in it and it was the happiest times of our lives. Children love camping in vans the baby will have a fabulous childhood. xx
Thanks so much! We're really looking forward to taking the bump when they arrive along with us..
We just need a bigger van 😂😍
