Just stunning…there are no words to describe how magical our country is! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…I’m so SO proud to have had the privilege to have been born a Scot! 💙🏴 Love a bit of Albannach! 😊x
Totally with you about Loch Maree. Kudos for lugging that much kit up Slioch in those temperatures! I've always found it hard to make mountain climbing films but this works a treat! I'd always been told that the Slioch name came from the mountain being shaped like a flint arrowhead when viewed from above. As a kid, I puzzled how they knew it looked like an arrowhead from above. Gaels in Space!
Thank you for the video. Am away to climb Slioch soon. Interesting with the goats, in Gaelic Gobhar, or Gaibhre (in the south and eastern Highlands). There are a lot of place names in the mountains with Gobhar in the title, indicating goats were very common in Scotland. I wonder if this is a wild goat herd left over after the clearances?
Spectacular! I couldn't help but to try to see what wild foods were along the way - no luck! :) Loved this! The scenery is somewhat similar to what we have here on our east coast in Labrador - the Torngat Mountain range. Just about the same latitude too!
That Loch looks like a great place for a swim and a cool off. Been missing your vlogs dude. Being that both sides of my family came from Scotland, I want to see everything. Good to see ya.
Wah! Absolute magic 🧙♂️ what a spot! I cannot wait to be there with you one day !! That top of the mountain is just the top of the world ! I’m going to have to watch it over and over to get my fix 😜
Looks stunning man! Can't beat the beauty of the west coast.. not too far from where I am at the moment actually, might have to give it a visit after Skye!
@@ArranOfAlba Really loving it dude.. Up in Uig at the moment working in a lovely wee hostel, best thing about it is that I'm right next to Fairy Glen and Rha Waterfalls. love going in the evenings when the tourists aren't about!
@@ArranOfAlba lol can't stand them especially when they leave litter in these places.... Aye been here for a few weeks now! guessing you've been here before?
Arran Arrannn woww you are bringing happiness to a Monday morning hahaha. What a nice video with incredible shots!, really, Scotland is amazing. Every time that I'm talking about travelling with my Danes friends I'm telling them, go to Scotland go go go, but be aware that you might never forget that beautiful place and you will want just come back and come back haha. I hope i can go for another trip there! Alba is so addictive! and please i got curious about the bags (something) that you were mentioning XD hopefully you will explain it in another video :)
That's awesome Estephanie! You're not alone there, apparently one or two others to get the same bug in Scotland! The Munro Baggers you are referring to are people who climb the largest Mountains in Scotland, The Mountains over 3000ft are called Munros (another long story) so people climb all 280+ Munros - bagging is like to collect! Come join me one day and bag your own Munro!
@@ArranOfAlba Thanks for the explanation Arran! sounds so interesting. I hope very soon I will visit again the beautiful Alba :D Looking forward for your next adventure :DD
Wow, yes, definitely spectacular and like you say vids and photos never do the scene justice. Our mountains maybe smaller than some in other countries but they are accessible. Hope you weren’t too bothered with midgies 😬🤣
Arran Of Alba 🤣🤣. Best purchase on Skye a few years ago was a waist length midgie net with long sleeves and full face hood. I wear it on summer evenings when l take the dogs for a walk along the river. I get some funny looks but who cares when it does the job.
What a view! How long did it take you to get up to the summit? Looks like it’s a good hike. And the goat jacket had me cracking up 🤣 Thanks for another adventure. Had me smiling the whole video man!💚
As A Celtic Pagan Everytime I see stuff involving landscapes or beliefs it's a good day. The other stuff is cool too good day today watching this
Cheers mate! Im glad you like my wee videos! Where are you from?
Just stunning…there are no words to describe how magical our country is! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…I’m so SO proud to have had the privilege to have been born a Scot! 💙🏴 Love a bit of Albannach! 😊x
Couldnt agree more ma bud! It is an honour we should all feel!
I like to imagine that every time someone bags a Munro, there are a group of unimpressed mountain goats already there waiting to stare at them. ;)
🤣
Another magic video with great passion and enthusiasm , loved it .
Cheers bud

So very true bud, the midges were kept at bay until the sun started to set and the clouds came in!! It turned into a battle within minutes! 😂🔥
Arran Of Alba 🤣🤣. Best purchase on Skye a few years ago was a waist length midgie net with long sleeves and full face hood. I wear it on summer evenings when l take the dogs for a walk along the river. I get some funny looks but who cares when it does the job.
Haha ya nutter!
Arran Of Alba 🤣🤣
Great video! Thank you 🍻
Cheers bud!
Hey man, long time, no see. Great vid as always. I reckon i could get to the summit nae bother. Do you know anyone who can lend me a helicopter? 👍🤣
Haha, aye mate but no beer at the top!
What a view! How long did it take you to get up to the summit? Looks like it’s a good hike. And the goat jacket had me cracking up 🤣 Thanks for another adventure. Had me smiling the whole video man!💚
It took a while mate maybe 3 hours from the car park but I dont think I checked the time once 😂 I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
You're so handsome bro!
