There’s something truly magical about winter camping near water in the mountains. Hidden spots like this are such treasures, and spending a night there must have been an incredible experience. I always make sure to bring my microphones on trips like these to capture the beautiful sounds of nature-the gentle flow of water, the rustle of snow, and the stillness of the mountains create an atmosphere worth preserving.
Holidays, I've missed your video adventures. This one is Amazing, Stunning!! So beautiful of mountains, night starry skies, awesome campsite. On to the next adventure!! Thanks so much!!
Hi Gregor! Thank you so much for sharing your winter adventures! It is so beautiful there in winter. I'm hoping to return to Scotland early next March for some hiking and wild camping. I really do feel that Scotland is my spiritual home! If I may...a little trick I learned from a friend is to carry two heavy duty bin liners..the black ones and use them to keep your boots dry whilst crossing small rivers and streams. Put your booted foot in and wrap it round your leg then use an elastic band or two to hold it in place. Looks ridiculous but works a treat and weighs almost nothing. Dry feet in winter is a must for me! 🥶🥶Your images of the night sky were utterly stunning! Thank you! 🙂 Really looking forward to your next adventure 😎🥶🤩
Brilliant adventure, this..we too prefer winter camping and hiking.. although Michigan does not compare at all to Scotland.. Ach.. those mountains and lochs.. and those icy rivers 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 We were a bit concerned for you with frostbite as those temps were quite cold.. we wondered how you avoid it.. as your feet were totally immersed in that icy water.. twice!!🥶🥶 Also we feel bad you had no warm supper.. at least you had hot tea.. which we adore.. 😊 One advantage of spring hiking is the presence .. at least here.. of wild mint and wild berries.. all are grand in tea..💜💙😊 You are indeed courageous and strong to face those cold temps.. and we so appreciate going along on your amazing adventures.. your knowledge of Scotland is vast.. we are leaning more from you than any book or other video we have read or watched.. So glad we are to have found your channel.. your views are spectacular taking our breath away.. And your disposition.. attitude .. and conversation are always bright, cheerful.. and sunny.. even if the weather is not! Thank you ever so much for allowing us to accompany you on these adventures of a lifetime 💜💙🤗 William and Jen
@@ScottishSummiteer Mean a lot to us, you do.. takes courage and strength to do what you do.. so worth it though We are among the many who love going adventuring with you.. the sights you show us.. the explanations you give.. best of all your positive upbeat and making the best of it attitude is what draws us back to do it again.. You are a grand Scottish lad and a credit to your country.. thank you for being so 💜💙🙏🌳🌹 Slan mo charaid William and Jen💜💙🙏
As I watched that....river crossing.....plastic bags came to mind. And yes, someone else already said. I thought it was my idea 😅. These trips are what makes us mountain lovers smile huh! Lovely film again....👍
amazing video mate. I did Beinn a’Chreachain and Beinn Achaladair in September and that lochan is definitely a highlight of that walk along with the views from Beinn Achaladair. I said I’d go back and camp at that lochan, one for the future along with a Beinn Mhanach summit camp I think, thanks for sharing
Hi Gregor. Wow mate, what a camp spot, absolutely stunning. You’re certainly good at digging out these stunning places. Great star shots too. All the best mate, Dave 😀🥾⛰🏕️🏴🏴
Stunning location with those cliffs on one side & that vast view over the rim of the corrie on the other. And those stars, makes you feel so small when you can see stuff like that. Great video mate.
Amazing views! And the stills of the night sky with no light pollution were truly breathtaking!! Love your channel, Ive always wanted to travel to Scotland. Hopefully soon. 😃
Wow, wow, wow. What a great overnight camp spot by that gorgeous wee lochan. The stars were just incredible. Perfect no light pollution. Well done you, for capturing them so beautifully. Was it just on your mobile phone? I agree with you that winter is the best and most beautiful season in Scotland. You concern me that you don’t take enough warm food with you on the cold camp hikes. It is vital your body keeps warm & in order to do that you need warm food as well as fluids. Please take care of yourself Gregor. Try packing a couple of bin bags for the river crossings. May not look attractive but it will help your feet stay drier. 😊
Yeh all the shots were on an iPhone 15. Don’t worry about my food situation, I eat plenty and make sure I eat healthily throughout the week so I can eat some rubbish whilst hiking😂😂
The lonely places are so powerful. Was that the ambient sound @8:43? Sounds primeval and beautiful. Beware though, lest there be mountain trolls about.
Another wonderful video, the shots you choose and your film making skills are second to none, along with your sunny companionship. Thanks as always Gregor, have a great Christmas.
Hi Gregor 😁 we (my husband and i) really love watching youre adventures in the Wee Big Country, camping in winter looks chilly baltic but midgie free 😂 youre photos of the milky way and all the stars were really amazing,have watched so many of youre videos and enjoyed them all,you do such a good job😁
Amazing video. Might be worth investing in a hot food flask for when you’re out and it’s so cold. We use one from a company called SHO and it’s brilliant. Just remember to pre heat it and fill it up fully!
Amazing amazing amazing The background is superb. I don’t know what else I can say, words fail me. You’ve wetted my my thirst for the highlands. Which I hopefully will be doing next year. Thanks for bringing me on your latest adventure Gregor. See you in the o👌👍🥶😁🥶 peace
Yo, Gregor, awesome to be with you again! I sometimes read the comments (51 at this time) before I watch your video, to make sure I pick up all the viewpoints. Now that we've completed the hike, I can confirm that your concerned fans are enchanted by the videography but are NOT happy about the way you walk through freezing streams again and again; also your poor nutrition makes us nervous! Listen to the people! 🙂
You need to remember this is one night out of seven. I eat healthily throughout the week to allow for a night off when I’m hiking. In regards to the river, sometimes you need to cross rivers😂😂 I appreciate the concern though and thank you for commenting 👍
omg, your poor feet! i winced a bit when you crossed the first time, but the second time, when it had frozen over!! oof!! you are a trooper for these videos you bring us.
re Crossing rivers take off boots remover socks put boots back on to bare feet wade across take boots off drain and put socks back on and then put boots back on. Better still a pair of neoprene over shoes or old trainers to change into to cross rivers. Still cold but feet will warm up quicker if socks are dry. ATB great video BTW
Well at least ya gas worked ok this time to heat the billy up Spectacular scenery in this one Gregor, very pretty place. I'd like to see the contrast in summer, the lochan looks good to swim in? Those shots of the stars were amazing, sorta makes ya wonder how we can be the only living beings with all them stars (suns) out there
Nice video mate the views from that loch was cracking. Were your feet not freezing after walking through the river with your boots on it wouldnt have been me i would have just took ma boots off 😅
One of the disadvantages of modern life surely is light-pollution, as it used to be possible to see night skies like that three fields away from the edge of town (well, maybe not like the views from your tent, but you did see a lot more than you can now!) I assume your boots are 100% waterproof? Only, even if I did survive that water temperature, the chances of me being able to walk in wet boots straight afterwards would not be great, I can assure you - you are cetainly a braver man than I...!
Wow! A very cool hike at the beginning of winter! 5:21The fairytale forest and fast river are wonderful! How comfortable are you walking with wet feet in the cold? How did you dry your boots? A tent on the lake shore in a stunningly beautiful place! The starry sky is incredible! 🏕️ 🌌
Interesting that the lochan was frozen , and in the morning the ice had melted. Great starscapes!🎆. Getting your feet & shoes so wet 🤔 ... there must be a better method. Just saying coz I care.
That was an outstanding job. How do you cope with the wet feet after crossing a river? How can the shoes dry in that cold? I couldn’t. The day after I’d have fiver like at 40degrees 😂😂😂
Get this soaking feet at minus temps sorted out.. and nay hot food.. Your making my sh&# myself with worry.. But looked fantastic.. BE SAFE.. BROWNIE* 🏴
Gregor please look after your feet . Also take a pk of powder soup wi u . We your subscribers would love to see u snug an dry an warm .we just love your channel an will stick with u always but please let us see u warm up your a strong young man with a fantastic future . Please let us see more of what u eat and how u heat up ... communicate with ur subscribers let us know you read our comments. Go from strength to strength 💪. Margaret

Thanks for the support, it’s much appreciated
Best hotel in the world,million star rating,and its free for the night!
Great stuff gregor 🤙
Night sky is best thing about being up a mountain 😮
Brilliant adventure, this..we too prefer winter camping and hiking.. although Michigan does not compare at all to Scotland..
Ach.. those mountains and lochs.. and those icy rivers 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
We were a bit concerned for you with frostbite as those temps were quite cold.. we wondered how you avoid it.. as your feet were totally immersed in that icy water.. twice!!🥶🥶
Also we feel bad you had no warm supper.. at least you had hot tea.. which we adore.. 😊
One advantage of spring hiking is the presence .. at
least here.. of wild mint and wild berries.. all are grand in tea..💜💙😊
You are indeed courageous and strong to face those cold temps.. and we so appreciate going along on your amazing adventures.. your knowledge of Scotland is vast.. we are leaning more from you than any book or other video we have read or watched..
So glad we are to have found your channel.. your views are spectacular taking our breath away..
And your disposition.. attitude .. and conversation are always bright, cheerful.. and sunny.. even if the weather is not!
Thank you ever so much for allowing us to accompany you on these adventures of a lifetime 💜💙🤗

Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing. Not sure that I would be ready for the tent on a frigid night! Beautiful Scotland.
Fantastic night skies, didn’t fancy an early morning swim 😂😂 thanks for sharing the adventure.
As I watched that....river crossing.....plastic bags came to mind. And yes, someone else already said. I thought it was my idea 😅. These trips are what makes us mountain lovers smile huh! Lovely film again....👍
That’s a great idea mate, will look into it for the future 👍
Fantastic star sequence! Spine tingling. Another great video. So lovely to discover my ancestral homelands through your work.
Thanks for the kind words mate, all the best over Christmas 😊
@ And to you. 🎄
Thanks Gregor- absolutely beautiful country 💯🏆
Thank you for sharing this beautiful nature landscape and Amazing adventure footage with us.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it
Woahhh! Beautiful shots and scenaries. Yet another wonderful video and adventure mate. Keep going
Thanks bro, appreciate the support

Hi Gregor. Wow mate, what a camp spot, absolutely stunning. You’re certainly good at digging out these stunning places. Great star shots too. All the best mate, Dave 😀🥾⛰🏕️🏴🏴
Thanks Dave, I seem to get really lucky with my camp spots. Thanks for the support, it means a lot
Amazing camping spot! The views are stunning. I need to find this place. And the night sky…wow! 😍Another awesome video 😊
A spectacular spot for sure. Thanks for watching 😊
5:43 I normally take my boots and socks off as I hate wet boots, but needs must//
Yeh sometimes worth it but don’t mind wet boots to be honest, they tend to dry off fairly quickly
What a great night 👍
Stunning location with those cliffs on one side & that vast view over the rim of the corrie on the other. And those stars, makes you feel so small when you can see stuff like that. Great video mate.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it😊
Amazing photos of the night ❤🏴
Great video , really enjoyed it ...Thanks.
Amazing views! And the stills of the night sky with no light pollution were truly breathtaking!! Love your channel, Ive always wanted to travel to Scotland. Hopefully soon. 😃
Hope you get the chance to visit at some point. Really is an amazing place
@@ScottishSummiteer Yes! I think so too. Thank you for the message. :)
Super pics of the stars.
I would love to ice skate the loch when it's frozen. Spectacular camping spot.
AMAZING KEEP VIDEOS GOING PLEASE
Wow Gregor, amazing footage especially the night photography. Beautiful area around the Bridge of Orchy and Rannoch Moor ❤
Thanks mate, it’s an incredible area👍
Wow, wow, wow. What a great overnight camp spot by that gorgeous wee lochan. The stars were just incredible. Perfect no light pollution. Well done you, for capturing them so beautifully. Was it just on your mobile phone?

Think that was the small river next to the tent. Thanks for watching 😊
Another wonderful video, the shots you choose and your film making skills are second to none, along with your sunny companionship. Thanks as always Gregor, have a great Christmas.
Thanks mate, your support really is much appreciated 🙏
Your feet must have been freezing. Get your self a pair of crocs for crossing the water. Boots off crocs on. The stars were amazing.
Yeh that’s a great idea mate, thanks for watching👍
It's fantastic scenery + I bet you loved cracking that ice as much as I enjoyed hearing it crack 😂
Hi Gregor 😁 we (my husband and i) really love watching youre adventures in the Wee Big Country, camping in winter looks chilly baltic but midgie free 😂 youre photos of the milky way and all the stars were really amazing,have watched so many of youre videos and enjoyed them all,you do such a good job😁

Thanks mate, will have a look into it👍
@@ScottishSummiteer at the very least you should have a couple of packets of noodles....!
Amazing amazing amazing
The background is superb. I don’t know what else I can say, words fail me. You’ve wetted my my thirst for the highlands. Which I hopefully will be doing next year. Thanks for bringing me on your latest adventure Gregor. See you in the o👌👍🥶😁🥶 peace
Glad you enjoyed it😊
Yes absolutely 🎉👍 peace 😊
Thank you for sharing another fantastic video and sharing your experiences love from Dublin

Fabulous campsite and those starry skies……amazing
Definitely some beautiful country
Love it, so beautiful✨
Wonderful scenery Gregor. Loved the night sky shots. All the best, John.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it😊
Remember you can always take powdered milk light to carry and nothing to spill
Yo, Gregor, awesome to be with you again! I sometimes read the comments (51 at this time) before I watch your video, to make sure I pick up all the viewpoints.

Just stunning, thanks.
omg, your poor feet! i winced a bit when you crossed the first time, but the second time, when it had frozen over!! oof!! you are a trooper for these videos you bring us.
Thanks for the support😊
Great video thank you ❤
stunning views some day i need to get up to the highlands from glasgow

Well at least ya gas worked ok this time to heat the billy up
Spectacular scenery in this one Gregor, very pretty place. I'd like to see the contrast in summer, the lochan looks good to swim in?
Those shots of the stars were amazing, sorta makes ya wonder how we can be the only living beings with all them stars (suns) out there
Bit cold to swim in right now but a great spot for summer 👍
Great stuff 💥..
Your star photos were sharp! So many stars in them..
Nxt morning BBBBBRRRRRRR.. frosty Mcfrosty 🙂. Mahico 👍👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it
Literally did these Munros a couple of weeks ago. Wasnt expecting to see a video of it haha
Nice video mate the views from that loch was cracking. Were your feet not freezing after walking through the river with your boots on it wouldnt have been me i would have just took ma boots off 😅
Nah I didn’t even really notice it once I’d left the river to be honest. Suppose you get used to it👍
Hello Gregor, I would like to know If you know any good camping spots in Scotland That you recomend thank you.
It would be really great if you could, at the end of each film, show a map of your route. Excellent stuff, getting better with each film 👍👏
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice one..love it !
You always knock my socks off with these amazing, beautiful videos dude. Shame you don’t have a paetron club to support you
Thanks mate, I’ll definitely set one up. Wasn’t sure if anyone would join to be honest😂😂
@@ScottishSummiteer I’m pretty sure they will 😊 You’ll never want for a Pot Noodle or Haribo again.
bet those stream crossings woke you up in the morning! gets the blood flowing too.
Certainly did mate, bitterly cold😂😂
but that view... the stars and nebulea.... wow man, all worth it just for that

Yeh it’s great to see the stars so clearly. Thanks for the support
Wow! A very cool hike at the beginning of winter!
5:21The fairytale forest and fast river are wonderful! How comfortable are you walking with wet feet in the cold? How did you dry your boots? A tent on the lake shore in a stunningly beautiful place! The starry sky is incredible! 🏕️ 🌌
Don’t mind wet boots to be honest, they tend to dry off fairly quickly. I used my jet boil to speed up the process though 👍
Interesting that the lochan was frozen , and in the morning the ice had melted. Great starscapes!🎆. Getting your feet & shoes so wet 🤔 ... there must be a better method. Just saying coz I care.
Superb videos great visuals as per usual how did you dry your feet after that river carry on ? hope you was not too cold ..
They dried fairly quickly throughout the hike and I used my jet boil once at camp to dry them further 👍
New subscriber all the way from Bangkok, Thailand. ❤
Thanks for watching 😊
@ScottishSummiteer thank you for your time to produce these unique videos. Stunning scenery.
Great spot..shame the early chemtrailing covered the blue skies..😢
Ps love ur photography 📸 work also
That was an outstanding job. How do you cope with the wet feet after crossing a river? How can the shoes dry in that cold? I couldn’t. The day after I’d have fiver like at 40degrees 😂😂😂
I find they tend to dry from just walking, I also used my jet boil to speed up the process 👍
Please keep it up Gregor! 🏆🏆Also you would be really good at ASMR too
Would you not take off socks for river crossing ?
Brilliant video , as always. What camera did you use to get the star shots mate ? Cheers bud
My old 1:50000 map shows a bridge crossing that river. Must have been gone due to floods as not marked on current map.
Yeh I remember a small makeshift bridge being there last time I visited (around a year ago) but it was gone this time
Man why didn't you have hot food at least a pot noodle its standard for any Scottish camper 😀
Get this soaking feet at minus temps sorted out.. and nay hot food.. Your making my sh&# myself with worry.. But looked fantastic.. BE SAFE.. BROWNIE* 🏴
