- Willie, Sarah and their pup, Jack Spaniels continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving their suburban life and moving over the sea to 'Live The Skye Life'!
Join us as we unpack our belongings into our new house and explore our new surroundings.
What will we discover lurking in the attic..?
What will Jack make of the beautiful woodland which is now our daily walk?
Will we manage to forage for our supper on the seashore?
Watch to the end to see how we turned this 100 year old cottage from a holiday let to our cosy home!

No money but great ears… just found #fluereast on Apple Music! I’m on it!
Willie your music carries me, especially in dark times! I’ll catch myself singing #dirtysecretsofscotland & #shewalksshepaints tunes! Never stop making music!
Sarah, where are you from? I'm hearing both south of England and North East? I can't tell ☺️ just curious! I'm from Durham and sometimes you sound like me. I also married a Scottish man and plan to move to Scotland one day 😀❤️ love your video
Lmao have now watched all your videos and I've learned Sarah is from Newcastle ☺️ my partner and I live in Gosforth at the moment but dream of a tiny home in the highlands. We've got world travel on our agenda first. But maybe one day out paths will cross in the highlands.
Oh we got married in October this year at Kirkaldy townhouse so..I feel we are kindred couples even though you don't know us 😂 sorry..I know it's dead creepy.
Love Jack Spaniels...I'm a huge fan of dogs and puns
@@fionaironside3381 Hi Fiona! That’s so funny & strange haha! I don’t blame you for getting confused by my accent - I’m a terrible Geordie 😅 I actually grew up in Gosforth! Even used to work in the Job Bulman in my younger days 🤣 No complaints about moving to Scotland though!
I’m a Scot, born and bred Edinburgh, and I’m loving how you’re showcasing our beautiful country (On all your channels)! Skye is a very magical, special place… it’s so lovely!
I’m really looking forward to following your adventures! Thank you for sharing them with us! 😊🌻x
Can’t get over how beautiful it is there! So much to see and explore on your walks.
Your paintings are beautiful. The countryside is so lovely.
Finding an eagle feather is high honor. I emailed Willie the complete native American meaning. I really like that each time you take from Nature you only take what you need and you state that each time. Mother earth feeds and supports us all. Love your channel. Happy New year to you and your wife and wishing you a wonderful Happy life in Skye.
Hi. Personally I would love to know the meaning too. Would you share it here with us please🙂
Or take this bizarre hex off of them because eagles exist in other places and your beliefs are beautiful, but still your beliefs.
Your new home is lovely! The wood on the walls is perfect to showcase your collections, without looking 'too busy.'
The scenery is 'to die for.'
Jack has the best backyard ever....such beautiful landscape. Thanks for taking us along. May 2023 bring you everything you need to continue turing your Skye house into your Skye home ❤
Just order a 1 ton bag of Type 1 hardcore and bring the road/track up to meat the bottom of the gate
Jack Spaniels! That's neat,,,
Absolutely fantastic. I initially subscribed because of the Skye content but I've really loved hearing and seeing more about your individual talents and passions. I wonder if you'd thought about guided walks - whether it's painting, photography, mushrooms, fishing, treasure finding. I love that you were so thoughtful about the fishing and mussels - I think this is educational for others too. Thanks for inviting us into your lives.
It’s lovely to see a homely home with all your things rather than the minimalist look. I look forward to seeing more or your adventures.
I knew it would look lovely once you made it your own, it's a real treasure trove 😍 lovely to see people living their best lives, especially the ones drawn to nature like myself. What glorious views! A time lapse of the scenery would be amazing- to see how much it changes through the seasons. Many congratulations on your beautiful home and all the best for 2023 xx
Jack is adorable 🤗
Your music surely does enhance things, Willie! It is so fun watching you 3 settle into your house. I love all the stone walls. And the stream. And the sheep, And the foraging for mussels. And watching you cook them. Happy 2023!!!!!
Can't stop singing 'living the Skye life' and even my wife is humming it now. I'm thinking it's everyone's dream to live there. Keep living the dream, you two are a wonderful couple 💑
What else could you want? The content is dense, the hosts are personable, the landscape is stunning, the adventures are fun, and the accents are charming. My favorite episode is foraging, cooking and eating the mussels.
Nice going. Now fill the place up with kids and share this fabulous adventure with the next generation. They will have an amazing upbringing and enable you to see the place in an entirely different way. Don't worry. You're not ready for kids. No one is. Have kids anyway.
watch a second time and enjoyed all the more👍
Having the beach at your doorstep is awsome. What a lovely cottage you have.
This so refreshing to watch. I like the song So with all the negative stuff this is great
Omg! A Pearl! How cool!
Five years ago I downsized to a house about 1/3rd the size of my old one. I did exactly what you did; got rid of a lot of stuff before the move, then got rid of even more stuff after the move. Five years later and I now have just enough room so that everything has its place.
Love your videos and so glad to be one of your earliest subscribers.
That’s great to hear! We actually found it really satisfying to get rid of all the things we didn’t want or need and it’s going to be so much easier to keep clean 😅
@@livingtheskyelife looking good you just need a dishwasher now
@@livingtheskyelife the shower isolation cord will be that short as you are supposed to keep them on all the time now when they install a shower they cut the Cords off because they can break/jam
Fantastic....would be great to see more foraging and fishing 👍
Yes, cottages! 😊
Tea or soup , nothing better 😂👍🏼😍
The cottage looks lovely! You’ve put your mark on it! So happy for you both, and of course Jack! I’ve had an English Springer Spaniel, a Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and now I have a Ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named - Charlie. I absolutely love spaniels. They melt my heart.
I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your videos - they are wonderful !!! The cottage seems so cozy and the surrounding land is heaven on earth. Oh and what a great idea using the old bottles as drinking glasses . I've never seen that before and it's so cool. Can't wait til the next video !!!
Mussels. A brook. It’s all so good! ‘You know it’s easy, cause I can do it’? Not so good. You rock, woman! Own it 😊
Ahaha - believe me, I didn’t say that because I’m a girl - it’s because I’m incredibly clumsy 😅🤦♀️
Well, that’s a relief 😉
Thank you for sharing your lovely new home and surroundings with us. I’m so happy for you 😊
WoW Sarah! Your paintings are so vibrant & detailed that they almost look 3D! Beautiful!
Stellar photography and music.
Thank you for inviting us into your lives.
Love your little place of heaven.
I'm really glad to know your internet connections are working well. I've really enjoyed watching you get settled in to your new place. I'd give my eyeteeth to be able to do something like that! Just a thought about your kitchen set-up, Willy . . . move your cutting board, knives, and spatulas, etc. closer to where you do your prep cooking. Also, place your wooden spoons, whisks, ladles, etc. that you'd use to actually cook with closest to the stove. Keep a salt pot (a nice squat bottle would be perfect there) right next to the cooker. Oils, herbs & spices within arms reach and your culinary life will improve significantly.
How beautiful!
It really is! We can’t believe it 😅
Watching this is like having a wholesome fruit smoothie (detox for the brain).
Haha - we love this!!
Yum!
You’ve been working hard to make the place homey, and it looks great! Gorgeous views!
Happy new year folks! Thank you for taking us with you along your journey!
I love the way you look after nature
My precious couple. Loving you from Maine.. Sweetest loves!!
Makes my heart glad to watch your videos such a beautiful place to live . I love Sarah’s tiny bottles collection ❤
Great stuff - thanks for taking the time to film, edit and put this out for us. A busy enough time as it is moving - appreciated 🏴👌🏻🍺
Wow! 92K views in 12 Days. Goes to show ,Folks love to watch a small piece of Heaven. Great vid , keep them coming.
I love the way Jack tips his head from side to side when listening to you. So adorable!
Genuinely glad that youtube recommended your first video, I'm loving this series so far! Glad you're settling in well, so lucky to live there!! Hope you had a good Christmas and happy new year!!
Your new cottage is just so cute, you are really blessed living in such a beautiful place. The country side is so beautiful with the running creek and water falls. May the New Year bring you peace and joy and keep you healthy and happy!

Beautiful slice of heaven, enjoyable viewing
Love your video your walks and your cottage everything is so lovely.
I love the suitcases and mirror left in the attic. This is an amazing place you have moved to! So cool that you have internet now.
What a beautiful place to live!
Enjoyed the scenery, the music and the sweet people- thank you!!
So enjoying watching these videos! Such beautiful country...Happy New Year! 🌻
I love your channel, I love renovations, gardening, you're art is absolutely breathtaking, they look like snapshots not painted pictures. I must say I feel there's hope in the world for young people if more young people were as brave and brought their talents out like both of you have. I can't wait to see the progress as you go along. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖 PS when I went to Scotland I had my husband drive me all the way up to the aisle of sky breathtaking!
Enjoy your show, as I am almost an old woman, enjoy seeing Scotland as if I am there. Thank you both.
Wow! This page has really taken off!! Congrats Willie, Sarah and Jack Spaniels.
Hello both, you are so lucky to be living on sky , I’m very envious .
Have fun , I look forward to more vids from sky .
Happy New Year from Ontario, Canada! Love your videos of Skye and your beautiful cottage.
Enjoy Beautifuls 💕
I was an English transplant and lived on the Isle of Arran in the 80's
Love Scotland and the Scots
I have an idea for you!
My dad and I ,used to do long lining in Morecambe bay
Perfect for flat fish
Take a 100' of line, iron stakes, a leader every 18", with a hook and bait, cover with sand at low tide, tide comes in, goes out, go and retrieve your 🐟fish!
It's fun
You guys lower our blood pressure
Keep it up 😉
Beautiful place to live God bless
Your home is just so beautiful and peaceful. What amazing views. So jealous of your home and lifestyle. I'm impressed.
So beautiful is our land. Well done guys 🏴❤️
I love your dog! He is adorable. So intelligent.
I had to stop the video to comment. Im in New Hampshire USA. Stumbled onto your Pod cast. LOVELY btw. The colors are fantastic. I am plaining to try some fair isle knitting and the shells, rock, moss, sea weed etc are wonderful inspiration for knitting color work. Thank you Sarah, Willie and Jack .
Happy New Year Willie, Sarah and Jack Spaniels. What an amazing place to be, i absolutely love watching and i'm so excited to be able to follow you on your adventures and to be able to see the wonderful places you visit that i didn't know even know existed. Looking forward to seeing more .
Thanks for the upload and lovely to see you three settling in. 😊Regarding the netting on the gate for Jack spaniel… Please be aware it’s the worst for wildlife getting caught in the netting if you can change it for something else I’m sure animals would appreciate it as I bet you will get loads of wildlife around your beautiful cottage. Jacks tail is going to fall off from all that constant wagging, he’s so happy ❤
I’ve done the same on my gate and I’ve never had any problems xx
@@karenmarshall7056 Then you have been very lucky and it happens a lot but I wasn’t replying to you but Willie and Sarah as they live in the rural countryside and have deers, hogs , foxes et el… If you go to wildlife Aid site you can see how many animals get caught in all netting. It was a suggestion considering how much they love animals.

You three are truly inspirational. And very funny. I love Jack's little head quirk every time one of you talk to him.
Magic moments thank you
Love your vlogs. New subscriber here, and I really found your channel so refreshingly real and down to earth. Please post more and often. Best from Canada.
Hi guys just wanted to say what an amazing job you've done so far making your little cottage feel so homely , it looks very warm and inviting. The scenery is truly stunning and to find fresh mussels for Lunch on your own doorstep is such a treat. ( more recipes please ) from your foraging trips . The Eagle feather so rare what a find . And just love your art work especially the cow . Checking out both your other channels now so looks like I'm going to be busy catching up on all your videos for some time . From a very cold wet and windy Wales in my tiny cottage to yours in beautiful skye wishing you all the very best guy's and lot's more magical moments to come . Thanks for sharing with us . Living the dream definitely. Sending much Love and a big hug to Jack your fur baby ( he seems to have settled in nicely all ready ) xxx
My husband and I are LOVING this channel !
I told him I would like a place on Easdale.....he is convinced we would end up poisoning ourselves from eating the wrong mushrooms...lol 🤣🤣.
I would convert the Byre into a small seasonal rental cottage...be it that Skye is THE place to be !!
Happy New Year! We love the paintings, in fact I think my wife went on to your Etsy shop and bought one whilst we were watching.
With regards to burn ideas, not sure if you ever went to the Ecology Centre or Earthship Fife whilst you were in Kirkcaldy, but it might be worth looking at whether you could put a micro hydro turbine into your burn as they had in the burn at Kinghorn Loch. As you’re reliant on electricity it’s probably worth supplementing it for the occasions storms bring the power lines down.
Happy New Year from BC, Canada Thanks for sharing all the beauty. Love the music.
Thanks! Happy new year! 🎉
@@livingtheskyelife love the paintings as well.
I went to Skye a few years ago ,beautiful. Love your channel x happy New year
Those old jars are fabulous.
Thanks
Thanks to you! 😃
My husband and I are from Connecticut, USA and we spent last summer in Scotland. Our cottage was in Alva, near Stirling and we traveled all over. Our time on Skye, hiking and exploring, was magical. Watching your adventures has brought it all back for me. Just lovely. Thank you.
Wow! I’m from Alva originally. We now live in Kinross but plan to move to Skye or similar.
@@kinross24 We stayed at Balquharn Holiday Cottages in Alva for 8 weeks. We absolutely loved it.
Looks like you're settling in really well. It's a stunning place
Lovely.
Simply Lovely!!!❤
Once you have sorted the barn out, you could maybe convert the loft into a bedroom, giving you more space downstairs , also that garden is crying out for a greenhouse and veg patch, your home is soo lovely , the views alone are worth it , sending hugs to sweet little Jack, great vid
Thank you for sharing with us you live in a beautiful part of Scotland. Wishing you both a very happy and prosperous new year x
We Subscribed ! ... I’m a Englishman with a Canadian woman living in Canada. You are living in a lovely place, and have a lovely cottage, very nice indeed.
LOVE your tiny bottles!
Wow your definitely living in paradise, you even have dinner in your backyard. Stunning scenery and walks. Happy New Year to you and your family and here’s looking forward to an awesome adventure on Skye. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️🥳
A teeny bit of advice would be to have a few changes of the muscles water (from their water source) and rest them over night and the next morning with a few water changes. it gets rid of the grit ☺️ xx Thank you for the amazing videos you’re both bringing. ❤
Yes mussels need a few changes of water , rest in-between for them to release the grit.
Mussels... not muscles
A hand full of
l of porridge oats whit ths helps plump them jp
I agree, we used to do the same with cockles. Leave them to soak and they clean themselves……leave them outside though as they can really squirt the water a good distance.
Jack spaniels is 100% living his best pups life and you's look so at home in a short space of time. Seems like the trade from kirkcaldy to Sky has really been worth it 👌 😁
We have always lived remotely in Western Australia, and now we live down on the south coast, where we thought we’d have good internet for the first time in our lives… but no. Then, we got Starlink. It’s a game changer! We love it!
Happy new year from broadford in Skye. Nice to see you guys are settling in to your new home! I wouldn’t like the spiders either 😬. It’s nice for us to have nice weather at new year it’s usually blowing a hoolie 😮😮. Jack will be loving running around 👌👌
Thanks!! Happy New Year to you too. We are ready for whatever weather Skye throws at us..we hope! 😅
Pretty impressive for only s week in the cottage! What a stunning place to live. I know it takes a lot of work to put these films together, so its to your credit that the viewer experience is so relaxing and enjoyable. Happy new year to the three of you, I'm sure it's going to be one big adventure for sure. I can't wait to be along for the ride.
We were very busy! We really wanted it to be tidy-ish before Christmas so we could just relax over the festive period :) We do however, still have some stuff in Willie's parents garage in Fife to collect...no idea where all of that is going to go haha!
Lovely
Simply Beautiful!
Happy New year to you all. Thank you for another great video. So happy to see you settling in and still having time to enjoy the beautiful outdoors xx
Absolutely loved your latest video! So beautiful, peaceful, love how close you are to the water and your village. Jack Spaniels is a lovely dog. Much love from Ontario Canada.
Me too, I loved it. (And I am from CA as well!)
if you’re thinking of adopting, i’m 64 so almost potty trained, i can boil eggs and do laundry. think about it!! 😂 beautiful new home … can’t wait to see your upcoming adventures. happy 2023!
