- The weather was forecast to be moving North to South so we headed a good bit up the North Coast 500 to find a rather nice view with the campervan and a mountain hike which promised even nice views.....

Murray, I just want to thank you so much for the amazing content. It must take you a while to capture and edit. But every video you have made I really appreciate. Scotland was a second home for alot of years, coming up to do various hikes. I don't get time now, but I can't help but smile when watching your content. Once again thank you.
Thanks Anthony - very much appreciate your nice comment - hope my videos bring a bit of Scotland into your living room 👍
Take care and thanks for watching

Another great video as always Murray! As an Aberdonian living in France it’s fantastic to watch these videos of home every week. So much natural beauty on our doorstep.
Magic place is Assynt 👌
Standing on top hill mountain looks at view very beautiful
Great to see Cul Mor again so soon after we were up there last week. Great views all round.
Amazing walk, Murray. I live vicariously through you until I can get back to Scotland. Thanks so much.
The youth probably whizzed up there without lifting his head from his phone. Meanwhile Murray, I noticed the tactical 'let's stop and take the view of Suilven in' (while I struggle to control my breathing :-) Excellent video.
I have learned from the best over the years - lets take in the views now = stop walking so bloomin fast and let me get my breath back!!lol My dad was an expert at that trick back when I started out hill walking lol
Take care and thanks for watching

I love Assynt a special place as is the entire North West with so many brilliant Corbetts and Grahams there is endless walks like the Bone caves.If you can get the right lighting the panoramic views are just stunning.
Another great video Murray.
its hard to beat the light up there when you get it - a rather special part of the country :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Assynt may not have the biggest mountains, but they sure are dramatic and beautiful! Great to see you get out with your son again Murray, it must be lovely to share the climbs with him, and have him quite literally follow in your foot steps (or is it the other way around, he looked pretty quick up those hills!😆👍). Thank you as always for taking us along. A pleasure to watch😊👌
Thanks Folks - I absolutely love Assynt - wonderful area - and yes I am usually struggling to keep up with the wee man 😂😂
Wonderful your son is wanting to join you more these days, Murray. Treasure these trips. Soon enough he'll be off making his own way in the world...🙄
Absolutely Jono - time seems to speed up as we get older doesn’t it - seems not long ago he was in a carry pack on my back when we went up the mountains ⛰
Thankyou Murray 😀 lovely and beautiful views of Scotland as always, stunning. It took one Scotch Egg, a choc digestive and half a cup of tea.
Nice job - hope the digestive chocolate complimented the scotch egg ;)lol

Thank you Murray, they were lovely lol :)
Cul Mor was my first Scottish mountain in the snow at Easter 1984! :) :) Must return.
its a cracking mountain and the views are rather special :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Those views, with all the lochans shining like jewels, are just magical.
Thanks Erin - it is such a wonderful area and one the mountain tops looking down on the lochs and lochans is rather special :)

Hi Murray, sadly I was watching the Queens procession from Balmoral and the chopper was showing the beautiful scenery along the River Dee and it panned backwards and showed the Cairngorms national park. I just wanted to thank you for all the footage you gave us of you " climbing up the hills" and all the beauty you shared from there.
We visited Assynt for the first time this year and found it a bewitching landscape. I recognise the car park at Knockan Crags!
It’s a lovely spot for the campervan 👌👌👍
Another great video-Cheers.
Stunning area. Great video again.
Great quality video. The views are stunning..ps Cul Mor means Big Back
Another gem in a fantastic area... thanks for creating great videos.
it certainly is hard to beat Assynt :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Absolutely stunning 😍 ohhhh Murray, you always bring us the best! Thank you! Cheers 🍻
What grandeur, you capture the mountainscapes so well. Must take you ages to produce these videos so really appreciate all your time and hard work. Agree Assynt and Inver Polly are just the most extraordinary landscapes
Funnily enough I was thinking when you were posting your next top and in a flash this one came up on my notifications so thanks for that. I really wanted to visit this area and Torridon in the near future as my munro adventures widen from the local ones around the Loch Lomond and Crianlarich range. Thanks again mate.
Hope you get up to Assynt - it is a wonderful area 👍👌
great hills Murry, I really enjoyed my time going on the hill with my son, many years ago. great memories. Many thanks for sharing. ATB
3 years ago we did a few days in Harris and the rest in Ullapool, this time we based ourselves in Lochinver and had a great ten days in Assynt. The weather wasn't great, but on windy days we did longer lower walks and a few peaks on the days in between! Thanks so much for the great video it makes us feel we are back!! Keep them coming....:)
Excellent video! A reluctant ex-pat living in Vancouver, I'll be back in Assynt in a little over two weeks to climb more mountains I first climbed back in the '60s. I was on all three tops of Cul Mor in 2019 in similar weather to yours and on Quinag and Cul Beag in April . . . can't wait to be back! One picky point . . . Cul Mor means "The Big Back", not "Black". Great stuff and keep them coming!
That was really nice.
I can imagine the cool misty feeling of the clouds coming in
You really have to watch your footing on the way down!
Nice to share these experiences with your son
Take care 🇨🇦❤️
Thanks Sue - the wee man is certainly making more appearances and great to have his company on the mountains - next weeks video was his favourite mountain so far - I’ll keep you guessing as to which mountain is was until next week though :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Wonderful video Murray, and great that Lewis is now wanting to go out with you. Long may it continue. Dad will have to teach him all the skills etc. though I’ll wager he’s already stomping up those mountains a wee bit quicker than dad. 😉 As always stay safe out there. ATB
Thanks Tony - and yes - he is away marching ahead of his old dad already 😂 I need to keep him on a lead to keep up (might happen in a future video 🤔😂
lovely film. i love it when great expansive views just suddenly appear on a day when visibility up until that point hadn't been so good. best wishes to you all from the lakes.
Great video hope to go there shortly
Yet another video that I was really looking forward to watch, thank you. A piece of my heart is in Assynt and Coigach, I simply love it up there, it's got to be the most unique place in the UK. I last visited in May and almost climbed Cul Mor then. I say almost as I decided to turn around just before the last steep climb, it was getting late and the weather was deteriorating. I still had a great few hours, and those views from the shoulder over to Suilven and its surrounding area 😍... well, you don't need me telling you 😁I'll be back for sure.
Thanks Valerie - Assynt is a wonderful area and some of my favourite mountains are up there ( especially next weeks one 🤔👍)
Take care and thanks for watching

What stunning place.. never get bored with mountains
Would love to visit this beautiful place
Thanks Murray for Vlog
Assynt is a wonderful place Sharon - hope you get to visit at some point
Thanks for watching

Cul Mor - One of my absolute faves ❤️ we call her 'the cat's ears' because of her outline as she greets you when you reach Assynt from the East. Not so keen on her boulder field though 😬 thanks for taking us up again Murray 😁
Cats ears - love it - that’s what I will think every time I pass it now - 😂👍👍
Watched this on the big screen yesterday and over an early cuppa on my phone this morning. Beautifully atmospheric and so good that your son wants to join you and also loves the mountains. Particularly liked the view just before the summit of dappled sun and shadow over the distant moorland. Thank you for another great video 😀🥾⛅️
Thanks Anne, it great having him as company - the only problem is I cant keep up at his pace as he dashes up the hill side into the distance ;)lol

Thanks Murray, just completed Ben Nevis, was hard but rewarding

Great video I plan on doing cul mor next April so thanks
Fantastic!
Another great vid, hope to be up in assynt in October, this is definitely on the list😁.
Have fun when you are up and hope the weathers fine for your trip to Assynt 👍
That looks like such a fantastic hill to climb, and I remember it looked beautiful from Stac Pollaidh! I was hoping to climb it in 2018, but the weather had other ideas - 70mph winds and horizontal rain.
Majestic views to say the least, cheers to you and Lewis for your time and effort
Thanks for watching Harry - there are some fine fine views up in Assynt (even better ones in next weeks video 👌👍⛰
What a great video! Just spent 2 weeks in Assynt and it was great, the landscape is so varied and interesting.
Thanks - hope you enjoyed it .Assynt is a wonderful area 👌👍
Hi guys, a wonderful video as always, Assynt really is the most stunning of environments. It’s absolutely stunning. Definitely one my favourite parts of Scotland. Thanks for sharing your adventure as always Murray. 😀⛰🥾🏴
Thanks Dave - couldn’t agree more - one of my favourite areas with some of my favourite mountains 👍
Thanks for watching

Loved this climb Murray. What amazing views, all those wee lochans and glorious coastline. Assynt is one of my favourite areas. Will put Cul Mor on my list. Thanks for all the effort you put into filming your trips. Alioban x
Thanks Alioban - much appreciated- Assynt is a wonderful area :)

Ah Assynt magical place. Never walked in from that side so will try that walk up Culmore with the dogs. Hoping for Suilven again aswell before end of year if weather plays ball.
Good luck and hope the weather gods are kind for your trip 👍👍
Another great video Murray, unfortunately it's been an awful summer this year, apparently the last time we had a summer this bad was in 1976, which was just like this year, I'm guessing the Jet Stream has had something to do with it. Get in touch next time you come up here, it would be great to meet up. 👍
Maybe a good winter 🤞🤞
@@ScotlandsMountains 🤞
Burger Mor Burger beag :) ... loved that video, the end bit to camera was great, how you keep that van spotless is another mystery and merits a vlog :) ... I want to summit Sullivan next summer including Stack poly and explore Assynt.. Its soooo north and remote I might have to fly in :)
Keeping the van tidy - it’s all about the position of the camera ie all the mess is out of sight Merky 😂😂😂

Assynt 👌
It’s wonderful 👍 next week and we stay i. Assynt - my sons favourite mountain to date (and we didn’t even make the top !)
The conditions seemed to be almost identical to when we climbed nearby Stac Pollaidh in June. Regardless the area is always stunning
It’s an amazing place - stay tuned for next weeks video - might contain the mountain you were up in June 🤔 #spoileralert 😂
Love the NW Highlands. Great content here. At first I thought the pointed mountain in the background was the Pap of Glencoe. Have you been up that? It looks ever so steep !
It’s a wonderful area - been up the Pap of Glen Coe a few times - think there are few vlogs back in the archives :)
Thanks for watching
Murray
Thanks for another fine video....what sort/make cost of trousers are you using?
Thanks Tom - the trousers on this video were revolution race trousers 👍
@@ScotlandsMountains Thanks ...might invest!
