    Watched a few of your videos over the last couple of days. Made me smile so many times to see you apply the same humble, open appreciation to Scotland as you do to the US. I am lucky enough to live in Scotland, & have done some train travelling in the US pre-lockdown also, so the vicarious tourism/reliving is much appreciated.

    Ach, it was good to see Skye again. I went home to Scotland, and specifically Skye, for the first time in 2015. Sadly, did not have time to see Portree or the Quiraings due to time constraints. I would have liked to have known about the ruined 7th Century Kirk (Church) was as the Clan MacKinnons buried there are ancestors/fellow clansmen. I hope to go back home to Skye one day. Excellent trip. Slàinte Mhath🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 from America.

    Hi Tom, I stumbled across your channel while checking out other UA-camrs on this, a quiet Melbourne Sunday which is vaguely trying to be a British summer's day instead of an Aussie one. Great coverage of a laid back trip to the Isle of Skye. My visit two and a half years ago was a brief one as a day round trip from Inverness. Regular ScotRail train from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh, then bus to Armadale, ferry to Mallaig, "The Jacobite" Steam Train from Mallaig to Fort William and Citylink coach Fort William back to Inverness. I recognised a few of the places you saw on the train trip, the ferry and the bridge at Kyle. I love your laid back style and ease with sudden changes of plan. I also loved your comments on the other Video about Seat travel on Amtrak. Great viewing and good advice for novice travellers too. Cheers from Michael.

    I absolutely LOVED your video documentary of a country I love the most. I have travelled through Scotland by car but not hiked much, so I was very interested to see your experience doing just that.
    Your comedic take on various things made me laugh, but your pictures of breath taking scenery brought tears to me. I remember seeing some of the images shown here when I came to Scotland, but I have to say, I only really took it all in when I got back home. I don't know why this is. Did you both feel like this? Anyway, great vid, your wife/girlfriend is a real cutie, look forward to the next one. \m/

    On 9/9/99 we were in Kyle to catch our train. We wandered down to the water to take some pictures. I noticed that a soldier with a gun came out and stood on guard whenever we got close to HMShip. It was a scary time for the world because computers' "end of file" was always 9s, and this was the day that computers were supposed to be all screwed up. Perhaps that is why so much caution. Nothing like that had ever happened to us. Even 20 years ago, we would have looked like what we were -- innocent and mature tourists.

    Very nice short film Tom. I’d only suggest not going too deep into your Vegan preference. Trying to ‘refuse’ the milk for the train breakfast... just let it go bud.
    Nice job re. the music overlay. Do you get any grief from selfish artists over this?
    Next time in North America, I suggest taking the Calgary to Vancouver, Seattle and down to San Diego.
    It’s a great scenic trip.
    Nothing more beautiful IMO than British Columbia...

Take note... during this time of the pandemic where vaccines are staring to roll out... The tourism industry here market awesome packages at give away prices!
