My son asked me "what's the one place in Scotland you haven't been and want to visit?". The Cuillin was my answer. He then drove that day, from Sunderland to Skye and sent me a pic with the ridge in the background! I'll get there this year...thanks for another great vid Murray, and I always appreciate Gerry's knowledge.
That story about the milk maids used to be taught in school. The milk maids never caught smallpox because they'd been exposed to cowpox, which was similar enough to give them immunity. Regarding your video; I'm speechless, which doesn't often happen. I can't think of words to write.
Thank you. Love Skye. Was climbing the Cuillins 58 years ago. Not been back for 48 years would love to get back there again but not likely now. Thanks for taking me in memory 💕
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏- I got pretty emotional watching this. I fell in love with Scotland, whisky and a young lady as a teenager on a school trip to the Black Cuillins back in the late '70s. Camping at Glen Brittle was magical back then, as was holding hands and sharing Kendal mint cake atop Sgurr Alasdair as the clouds cleared. The love of Scotland and whisky endured!
I don’t have enough superlatives to say how amazing The Cuillin Range is. Jaw droppingly beautiful Murray. What a first video for 2023. It’s going to be an hard act to follow. Thanks as always for sharing Murray. Stay safe.
Just love the Cuillin. Climbed and scrambled many many times up there, never ever get tired of it. Just beautiful, need to get back there again this year 😊
With weather like that Murray, there's nowhere better to be. I've plenty of photos from the Cuillin Ridge but as you say, there's nothing like seeing those views and logging them away in your memory to be brought out when you watch films like this. Thanks for all the work you put into these vlogs and long may you continue to share them with us. All the best to you and Gerry and I hope his finger has now healed up.
Thanks Ian - absolutely correct - the piccies never depict what it is actually like - always better with the eye :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
Glad I was viewing this on my phone, so that “Professor Gerry’s” thumbnail photo of his injury was not too big and gruesome! Fine trip, and what views! Thanks and ATB
This had to be my favourite summit yet, blindingly beautiful, majestic The Queen of the North, I’m going to call her, what a jewel Murray, thoroughly enjoyed that. Spectacular drone footage there too. Old Owl 🦉 Alaya
Thanks Alaya - the Cuillin mountains in Skye are a special and spectacular place - I always look forward to my trips to Skye (I cant wait to get back there already this year :)) Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Truely unique when you get the views and sense the exposure on that knife edge ridge. Sgurr na Banadich was my last Munro 4 yrs ago and I got foul weather for the whole trip so the photos were rubbish and my mates champagne supplied, got drowned in the rain. I'll go back up this year on a fine day with my 3 new dogs, now Ive seen the terrain. Thanks Murray
I love Wednesdays! Yet another brilliant video to enjoy, Watching for a second time over a morning cuppa and this is stunning. Thank you. But poor Gerry- that finger looked really painful and any injury to the hand makes life’s bit more awkward so hope it heals quickly. All the best to all three of you and “ Stay safe out there!”😊🏴🥾
Another nice hike with friends You really have to watch your footing on the rocky terrain Nice sunshine at the summit with beautiful views Always looks like a quick drop down at the top especially the drone view! Well done and an enjoyable video..take care 🇨🇦❤️
Hi Murray, Your "Middle" references at 12:04 of your video are hilarious. I wonder if anyone else caught that:) You guys are too funny. Have a great week
Thank you so much Murray Gerry and Mark...it really brightened up a post covid afternoon...the Cuillin Ridge from the top is really special, it tugs at my memories and has left a warm wistful smile...as Gerry said ''Another day in Paradise'' 😁
Just glorious! Gerry summed it up when he said "Another day in paradise". I wouldn't have been able to guess the mountain anyway as I've only climbed one mountain on Skye, Beinn na Caillich. I'm hoping to do some of the Cuillin this year - the easier ones, to get a feel for the place. Hopefully I'll get views like these!
Thank you Murray, Gerry, Mark, beautiful views of Skye and Scotland as always, got to be the most beautiful place in the world? I think so anyway. Hope Gerry's middle finger is improving, looks sore 😬 I do think it might have needed to be shown more though in the little popups 🤣 Hope the door was ok.
Have family on Skye and sadly not been up in to many years. I'm around the Cairngorms yet nothing as stunning as there. Last time we were there they had the rescue team out after the weather had come in and less prepared tourists had been stuck. You gents definitely got the weather
Thanks Murray for taking us with you guys. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes l get back to Skye this year, and before the season starts. Oof Gerry hope that injury sorts itself out soon. Take care Alioban xx
Absolutely nothing 'middle of the road' about this video Murray, absolutely superb!🤩👌. The Cullin Ridge is just off the scale beautiful, what a truly special place the isle of Skye is, Gerry summed it up nicely, paradise on earth 🌎 🏝 ⛰️ 🏔 🌄. Hope Gerry's finger has healed up now, that looked rather nasty!😳. Thank you so much once again for taking us with you on these grand adventures. Happy new year, all the best for 2023🥳. Shell and Pete
Thanks Folks - I agree , Skye is a special place for sure and I cannot wait to return :) Hope you had a good new year and ATB for 2023 Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Your videos are amazing and inspiring Murray! You keep good company too in both the people you hang out with... and the places you hang out in! Stunning! Take care Theresa
As an Australian viewer who lives in Indonesia, I appreciate your videos as the best form of escapism. It always intrigues me as to how treeless the hills and mountains of Scotland are and a google search revealed that deforestation has left just 4% of native forest. I wonder if you would consider doing a program on this? Rather than historical factors, I would love to hear your perspective as a hiker, nature enthusiast and thoroughly modern Scotsman.
Yeah - not sure if the Uk was one of the first areas to deforest but not much left (more now than 100metres ago so they are trying ) - love the natural forest where they remain - special places Take care and thanks for watching Murray
There has in the past few years several schemes to re-wild the stark areas by planting various species of trees native to these areas ...and re-introducing some wild life that had died off in Scotland, and I must say that by and large has been successful
Oh really brought back some good memories this one Murray I had to say goodbye to my 2 border terriers recently nearly 14 years old . I've been to skye many times but when they where both around 2 years old I took them both up sgurr Alistair via the shoot tilly in my back pack with her head popping out the top and jack made it all the way himself . When we got back to the campsite at Glen brittle jacks paws 🐾 literally had steam coming off them after poring a bottle of water on them . And nearly having my fingers chewed off with the amount of food they ate they never made a sound till the morning 🌄 they where 2 tiered dogs 🐕 That was a good day
Sorry to hear that , but sounds like you have many happy memories with your two border terriers , such good companions. Skye is a wonderful place and I always get excited when I know I am headed there for an adventure :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains i was there last year but in the north, Glendale. Gorgeous but not a patch on the south. That ridge you just showed, is it accessible for the average hiker, i do alot of hiking in Peak District and Wales and would love to tackle that but i always go with my border collie… possible for the dog?
Hi Murray, such a beautiful place to walk in the company of very good friends, moments to cherish for the rest of your life. After last years cycling adventure in England and subsequent failure to make it to Scotland your videos continue to inspire me to do so. Fingers crossed that this Aussie will make it for 2023. All the best for the new year Murray.
Your videos are so inspiring and amazing.. you are lovely guys and I appreciate these videos so much.. I feel calm and relaxed watching love these beautiful landscapes thank you so much
Just subscribed been watching you for a while and Gerry on occasions for a few years also, love your stuff, Charles from Lochmaben. My Love of Scotland is firstly Dumfries and Galloway but Love Torridon and all of Scotland. Good luck for this you tube competition mate 👍
This looks absolutely amazing. You've captured a truly spectacular landscape. I want to be able to get up into the mountains and explore this more, and I think this video has given me the inspiration to do so. Thank you for sharing 😊
Fantastic place.. I didn't know of that route as all I ended up doing was climbing to a ridge and terrified coming back down lol but the views were amazing... I wud love to replicate what you did in that great video for sure :) Maybe 2023 sometime :) Wednesdays are always worth the wait for the 3 amigos :) thank you as always M ☘️
Thanks Merky - check out Walkhighlands web page for Skye routes when you come over - pretty awesome webpage 👍 hope your 40km trek went ok last week sir ?👍 Take care Murray
I have just come across your chanel .it's so nice seeing our beautiful country . Thankyou for sharing your experience with us . And of course taking us along with you .🏴
Stunning views from the Cuillin Ridge, especially out to the Western Isles. Magnificent. The Cuillin Ridge is probably busier than Sauchiehall St is these days. ;^) cheered me up after a difficult day to join you in your adventure. 🙂
been watching yr video and there absolutely fantastic me and my husband do walk up highlands not kind of walk y do we done half west highland way but yr are brilliant love them 👍
Murray first very very happy new year to you and family.. looking forward to a new year full of yiur excellent vlogs again.. rea enjoyment and upfifting thank you best wishes tony c liverpool uk

@@ScotlandsMountains big thanks Murray👍. I think what I do has a generally smaller audience. People seem to prefer watching folks camping on roundabouts or inside a flapping tent in a storm. I’ll leave them to it 😆👍
Another great adventure. I didn't know there were walking routes up on to the Cuillin! I thought it was all climbing / scrambling. What sort of access do you have along the ridge once you are up there?
Thanks Julian - without knowing the ridge - I certainly my wouldn’t venture too far along or back as it definitely goes to scrambling/climbing territory pretty quickly 🏔️😂
@@ScotlandsMountains Roger that! Could to know there is a view point for the walker though....the view even from that one point looked well worth the effort!
Anywhere else that hill would be lauded as a great. But it's in the Cullin so it gets missed out which is a shame because it has great views. The weather looked fantastic but you did all look a little cold. I hope Gerry's finger healed up ok.
That’s a good point - the whole ridge it awesome tho - really fancy doing the whole lot again (not sure I am fit enough tho ! Thanks for watching ATB Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains it so is. I've done almost all the major tops and a few of the classic scrambles (guided, I have to say) and I'll keep going back as long as I'm fit enough. Despite me doing almost no other hillwalking the Cullin and Skye keep me going back.
Would love to go back and do it again - did it in 2007 for charity with mountain and sea guides at the time - got lucky with the weather - old video here (don’t expect usually quality footage tho!! 1 ua-cam.com/video/hmjvyryf4-c/v-deo.html
Great video Murray 😍👌🏻..Suck a beautiful ridge..I did a night hike up Sgùrr na Banachdich ,Which was quite an experience 😂..Great watch mate. Cheers Murchie
That vid was fair to middling I thought 😉 love the cullin just like middle earth. How do you manage that weather. I've yet to get a day like that up there.
Hi David / it’s hard to say what is easy and what is not as it always depends on conditions and the person climbing it - I would put it on a par with Bla Bheinn - maybe check out the excellent Walkhighlands page for descriptions and user reports 👍👍👍 Thanks for watching Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains Thank you Murray for taking the time to answer my question, what I'm trying to work out is a not too challenging route on to the black cuillin ridge for my walking group, they have done a few scrambles before and difficult hikes, but they would not be mountaineers, they have done Bla Bhienn ascending via the route that goes NW from Slat Bheinn and down the Tourist Route, so they're are reasonably capable. Thank you for your advice and love your videos. PS ever hiked in Northern Ireland?

It’s an amazing place 👍👌🏔️🏔️
