Just want to let you know about a couple of fellow Edinburghers, Romana & Ewan, who are making amazing travel vlogs about their adventures around Europe and Scotland. They're lovely, warm people and their vlogs are super fun and informative. I can really recommend checking out their brilliant channel - ua-cam.com/video/wP9qHFySSD4/v-deo.html
Such a stunning area. 🏴❤️🏴
Yes it really is beautiful - one of my fav parts of the country. Thanks for watching, best wishes, David 🙂
Managed to get one of my best ever photos at loch Eilean. Still waters, pink sky, snow capped peaks and a tremendous reflection. Marvellous place. Great vid.
Thanks Ian, so glad you got such a lovely photo - it sounds wonderful. Yes, it really is such a special place and I'm looking forward to getting back there in the Spring. Thanks for watching, all the best, David :-)
Incredible! The Aviemore area is absolutely beautiful! Such breathtaking scenery! Indeed it truly is 'scenery to make your heart sing.' Aye, it did that! Just thrilling! Furthermore, your filming & footage is outstanding... as always! What a magical place! Aye! 'Tis so true! Scotland really is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I truly love it! Thank you for sharing this delightful experience! Blessings to you David!
Thanks so much for watching Annie, the Rothiemurchus estate is really beautiful and I always love visiting. Hoping to get back this year and discover a little bit more of the area. Thanks again for watching and all your very kind words & support. Best wishes, David 🙂
@@DavidWheaterScotland My pleasure David! Aye! The Rothiemurchus Estate is amazing! I loved it! Thanks again for sharing! Have a glorious day! 🙂
Realy beautiful video, brought back do many memories of walking holidays at Glen Feshie walks round Lochan Ealein and Gamhna.
I love how you stop to look at things, the fungi a boletus and rusilla, the hair bells and blaeberrys, realy lovely film and background music
Thanks Anne, so glad it brought back some good memories. I adore this beautiful area and always enjoy my visits. I really like to celebrate the overlooked things in life and I'm glad that it brings you some joy too :-) Hope to do another video here next year. Warmest best wishes, David
Great video. One of my favourite places to visit
Thank you Glen, Really glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks for watching. Best wishes, David
Watched this with my family and we "ooooh"ed and "aaaahhhh"ed repeatedly. Absolutely gorgeous photography/videography in a stunning part of the country. We have missed our summer trip to Scotland the last two years and your videos certainly have helped fill the void. Many we have watched multiple times! But this one was just so special I had to comment. THANK you for what you do!
Hi Sheri, thanks so much for commenting and all your very kind words about the video. I am slowly trying to improve the videography. A lot of my filming has to be done very quickly, 'shoot n' run' style, between jobs, but hopefully I can start spending more time in each location as the years progress. I'm really glad you've been enjoying my older videos which means a lot, as I spend a lot of my spare time doing them and it really makes it worthwhile when I know they're being enjoyed. I'm planning to publish a wee bonus video sometime this week and the next big one will be out on the 15th September which I hope you'll enjoy too. Many thanks for subscribing and leaving a comment. It really helps and is much appreciated. Warmest best wishes from Edinburgh, David :-)
Thnaks . Amazing video .
Thank you Salem, that's very kind of you and much appreciated. It's a really beautiful part of the country and I really recommend it. Warmest best wishes, David :-)
Beautiful video, just what was needed after a day best forgotten😕 Thanks for posting. Keep safe,well and happy👍👍
Hi Clive, thanks so much, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video. I do hope things have got better and that you're ok. I very much appreciate you taking the time to comment and I hope you'll enjoy the next one which will be posted this week. Warmest best wishes & thanks, David :-)
Thank you! All ok now. Just a bad day. Have left it behind and moving forward. Wonderful videos like this help. Looking forward to a time when I can get back to your gorgeous country.
@@clivefelgate9802 Hi Clive, glad things are ok. Really hope you can make it over soon when things are more back to normal and safer for travel. It's certainly been a very tough time, but there is signs for optimism. All the best, David :-)
A beautiful part of the country, lovely video David....
Thanks Martyn, hope you're doing ok. Best wishes, David :-)
Your videos are cinematic poetry!
Thanks so much Valerie, I deeply appreciate that. I do wish I had more time to make them, but I do what I can. My next video will be out on the 15th of September and I hope to squeeze a wee bonus video in this week. Thanks for your kindness. All the best, David :-)
Fantastic, just fantastic! A "mini- holiday" in the middle of my work day. Thanks so much, David! Take care and be well!
Hi Mike, hope you're well and many thanks for the kind words about the video. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that it's got you through the day. I plan to have a wee bonus video out this week and then the next one out on the 15th September which I hope you'll enjoy too. Thanks for sticking with me and I hope you have a lovely week. All the best, David
Hi David how's u and the family hope your well never thought you were a keen cyclist well done for doin it took me a massive long time wen been hit by a car 5year ago up at Lothian Road.... so anyways lol great video as always love aviemore such great little place even more so when the weather is perfect and that shot on that steam train was epic well done to get that in frame one big beast of a train anyways hope ur all well and as always looking forward to see what you got for your next vid and photos on Instagram see you soon ..Great work...:)
Thanks so much Alan, you're always too kind to me. I absolutely loved the train and was there for quite a while beforehand trying to work out an angle, although I just couldn't get the bins out of the shot! I'm a huge fan of the Strathspey railway which I believe is run just by volunteers. It was my first visit to Aviemore for a while and it was nice to see that it was managing to come out the other end of the pandemic in reasonable form. I'm really sorry to hear you had an accident while cycling. I do hope you've managed to recover. I took up cycling a few months ago and have been really enjoying cycling around my home. It's been really good for my health and is a great switch off from the stresses and strains of work. My next video will be out on the 15th September, but I hope to squeeze in a bonus one by the end of the week which I hope you'll enjoy too. Thanks again for all your kind support and for following on me on Instagram. It's always hugely appreciated. Hope you're having a good week and speak to you soon. All the best, David :-)
Nice pall
Thanks Mark. Much appreciated 😀
I love the Cairngorms and your video is a great portrayal of this part and what is there. I like the way you zoom into the mushrooms, wild flowers, barks of trees, water and pebbles etc. Did I see otters in the loch? Thanks for sharing this at a time when I couldn't get to Scotland. Take care and Stay safe and God bless. Janet
Hi Janet, so glad you enjoyed the video and particularly all the wee details. I do my best to try and include them, as I always thing it sets the scene and creates a more rounded feel for the landscape. I hope to have a wee bonus video out this week and then the next formal one will be on the 15th September which I hope you'll enjoy too. Hope you have a lovely week and look forward to speaking to you again soon. All the best, David
That was just gorgeous; I wish I could say I was "in the area". If we ever make it over there, it will have to be when masks are well and truly a thing of the past. Loch an Eilean reminds me a little of Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park. (Minus the castle. )
So glad you enjoyed it and I really hope that one day you can visit. Covid has certainly put a huge spanner in the works for travel, but hopefully next year we'll be over the worst of it and can all safely enjoy our beautiful countryside more. Thanks as always for taking the time to comment, Best Wishes, David
Hi David, we have just discovered your channel and videos. Excellent photography, subject matter and soundtrack. Well done, and we are looking forward to future content. As a frequent visitor to Scotland ( or were up until 18 months ago ) we have been to many of the locations you feature, but were a little perturbed by the lack of people in Aviemore - - - . We've never seen it so quiet ! Did you film in the early morning or just selective with your filming - - . Just curious really. However, please continue with your videos, and continued success.
Hi Paul, many thanks for getting in touch & subscribing and for leaving such a lovely comment, which I really appreciate. I'm only really getting going now with UA-cam, as the pandemic hit me really hard, as it has so many, and I hope to try and improve the quality of what I'm doing and make it a bit more interesting as time goes on. Yes Aviemore was much quieter, but hopefully it'll pick up next year for all the small businesses which have been on their knees for an awfully long time. Hope you can visit us again soon when things are safer. All the best, David :-)
which place at 5:26? is this Loch an Eilein, Rothiemurchus?
Hi Anshul, my apologies for the delay in replying. Yes I think the part you’re referring to is Loch an Eilein. It’s really beautiful there and we’ll worth a visit. All the best, David
@@DavidWheaterScotland Hey David, not at all.. it was indeed beautiful..we did this cycle tour in Aviemore and Rothiemurchus loch... loved it..
Oh that’s wonderful. It’s a beautiful route and definitely one of my favourites. So glad you enjoyed it. All the best, David
