Привет Рут! Есть один рыжий шотландец, который живёт в Москве! Его канал так и называется, Шотландец в Москве! Если у тебя будет немного свободного времени, посмотрите его видео! Хорошего вам дня!
Hi Ruth: I am designating you as Scotland's Tourism and History Ambassador. I have learned more about your amazing Scotland through your wonderful videos than by watching any documentaries or reading any books. You are my one stop shopping for this beautiful place you call home. Be safe.
@@mrneutral8423well perhaps you should know the history of Tasmania, this is perhaps the first island that genocide was comitted against an entire indigenous population to make it uninhabited until Australians began occupying it . 180,000 people were murdered for this to take place . It's a beautiful island but the Australian government has created a historical memorial for this island
I have the same issues with my kneecaps. Have you had surgery? I’ve had two arthroscopic surgeries on each knee & did help for a while. I’m 71 now & have to get one knee replacement soon. I love to go on nature trails but, like you, can’t go too far. We have amazing trails here in western Washington & all the mountain hikes! Even a couple of rain forests, particularly the Hoh Rain Forest. This is near Forks which is more than just Twilight! 😅 I’m going to Edinburgh in December so hoping to find a tame trail or two.
Awesome. I from Glasgow live in Glasgow my whole life i didn't know these places exists. Thanks for sharing our beautiful country 🏴🏴🏴
@@ruthaisling And I'm watching from Tucson in Arizona where it will be 106F (41.1C) tomorrow. I'd love to be in the coolness of the Knoydart Peninsula having a beer. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
It was great to see a shoutout to my province of Nova Scotia! We embrace our Scottish heritage and the sacrifice made by those who came across the pond during the Clearances. We have a whole action of our province that has Gaelic on the road signs and keeps the language alive here!
I moved to Canada 1 year ago this month from Scotland and I have to say your videos really feel like they keep me in touch with home which I miss desperately. You're braver than I when it comes to solo travelling, I hope you make many more videos as reading the comments they're clearly loved by many.
Alba go brea, san Gaelige na h'Eireann. The best time I ever had in my life was touring the highlands all on my own, pitching a tent wherever I wanted, bothering nobody. I love those lands so much.
Had the best fish and chips on Knoydart, in shack. Bring your own bottle.. also a fabulous restaurant with the most delicious seafood, Inverie. We were very grateful for the village shop and it’s honesty box.
Supposedly it says (somewhere) in The Bible "Take a little wine with your meal, for the sake of good digestion". If someone can give the exact reference, that'd be great.
husband speaking age 81 Ruth, I was camping at our resort near the Canadian Boarder and using my wife's I-phone and found this video. I needed to find your story on my PC so I could comment and give a very big LIKE. Thanks for the tired feet at the end of this hike.
Otters are very very shy, except for one species which is slightly less shy. If I remember right, that species isn't native to Britain or anywhere remotely near Britain! A beautiful area beautifully presented! 😀
Hi Ruth, boy were the weather gods looking after you on your trip. Absolutely gorgeous scenery and superbly shot as always.Thanks again for sharing your wonderful travels, peace be with you my friend.😊✌🏻.
There are two things we will always fight for: our own people and our land. That brief story of Knoydart very well sums it up and it might look like a "small fight" in the grand scheme of things but it also sums up what being human is and our fighting spirit. I live in a very far away country but I hope someday I can visit this land.
@@ruthaisling Thank you Ms. Aisling, your videos are soothing balm for the soul. I hope you continue doing what you love for a very long time. Greetings from La Molina in Lima, Perú.
This isn't the first of your videos I've watched, but my first comment. I'll keep it short - incredible! I'm American, but have been fortunate to live and travel extensively in Scotland. However, many of your videos, including this one, provide insights well beyond my experiences. Thank you!
Great video. Been to Knoydart twice, both times stayed on the campsite at Inverie. First time was in a heatwave, the second time was last October, waking up to the sounds of stags bellowing, the waves and oystercatchers calling. And late enough in the year to avoid the midges! Magic place. Hiked up sgurr coire chonnichean, the corbett that you see behind the campsite as well. The old forge has had a major upgrade as well, sometime last year. They didn't serve food before that, lots of venison dishes as expected, all absolutely superb.
That was a really interesting insight into a part of Scotland that I have not visited but is on my wish list of places to visit but it would be a boat crossing for me rather than the hike in. For such a remote place they have what looks like a vibrant community.
@@ruthaisling My first West Coast ferry trip was out of Mallaig to Harris to scout out my transfer of work to The isle of Lewis so I can imagine what the crossing you had was like. I have been on those ferries and the water was like the colour of Absinthe liqueur it is such a beautiful part of the world and the drive from Fort William to Mallaig is my most favourite of all the roads in Scotland.
Scotland is so lovely. I would love to visit there as my heritage is strong. In the meantime, thank you so much for taking us along. It means the world to me. I love your videos. ✌️🙂❤️
Thank you Ruth I appreciate the response I totally understand that some people aren’t comfortable being on camera 🎥 It’s unfortunate because they could give all of us a glimpse into their lives At least we were able to see these beautiful places thanks to you!!! 😊
Thank you so much for taking us to Knowdart. Watching you walk round is almost as good as being there oneself. Im going to have another dram to get over the exertion.
I’m so glad I happened upon your videos of the Knowdart Peninsula this Sunday morning of the start of Autumn! Thank you. Makes me want to visit and explore Scotland….
Thank you once again from South Africa. I shared your videos with my daughter and brother who are now back in Scotland. They are all keen hikers. They are delighted with the content. Many early immigrants to South Africa were a result of the clearances.
It's like going on an adventure with you Ruth, And there's always something interesting to find along the path, like the sewing machine on the stump, the old tracker/tank thiny, Wow, and what's going on with the giant checker board, I even know what to expect from a water closet = [ thunderbox ] in the most remote town in Scotland 🙆♂️
@@ruthaisling I really Did, Even though i live in Australia I've always felt my heart still roams free in the Highlands, And your videos bring that home for me, Thankyou 💜
Wow im blown away. what a beautiful peaceful place.. i did a lot of camping in scotland many years ago but did not know about this place Thank you for showing this village and breathtaking views ruth..
The place is full of miserable drunks. I met some nice ones, but there was also division within the community . Be shit to live there, bad energy, then you've got the midges.
Vodafone in rural areas, as I know from here in West Wales, is a nightmare been promised a better service for over ten years now, switching to EE. Great video again, th@nk you.😊
Watching your videos and I love them. I’ve been to Scotland some years ago (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Highlands) and next time, I will visit these beautiful islands and do trekking. Greetings from Brazil
What a beautiful place, parts of it reminded me a little of my own country of New Zealand. The fact that Inverie/Knoydart is isolated and has to be purposefully visited (as opposed to just passing through) also adds to its charm I think. In that it's so quiet and peaceful. Stunning scenery too...paradise on earth. 😊🌿🌼🌄
Hi Ruth, I guessed correctly! Thanks for another great film. You captured the place so well and brought some great memories flooding back. I have both walked and travelled by sea camping at the fabulous camp site, on the beach looking along the loch and seeing the sun go down over the Rum Cuillins.i had my morning coffee in exactly the same seat as you with that view. At 75 I’m unlikely to return, so many, many thanks.
Thanks Ruth, I was in Inverie in April 97, canoed across from the adventure centre on Loch Nevis. Then hiked there via Sgurr Na Ciche a few days later, the weather was a little less clement!!
What a beautiful morning! There's a lot more to Inverie than I expected, too. Might have to jump on the boat, next time I'n in Mallaig! Thanks for taking us along, Ruth!
Hi Ruth, I grew up in central Scotland and laterally lived in Glasgow, moved across to Australia approx 10 years ago and now live in New South Wales, which is great, can’t complain at all. I find myself getting occasional homesickness and searching for videos on UA-cam of Scotland. I discovered your channel a couple of months ago and I’ve got to say, it is fantastic! (I really look forward to your videos as they come out). Your videos are engaging, entertaining and you have a natural affinity connecting with the viewer. You deserve every compliment you get on your videos, they are superb! All the best from Oz, and can’t wait for your next trip, cheers!
I can listen to you all day long. I love the scoots😊I am Italian, my bro is Scoots, our dad was busy 😊lol he has passed away some years back from my Italian mother
Another great video Ruth, really do enjoy them all, taking me to parts of my homeland I have never been, funny thing that went through my head was imagine buying new furniture for your home there and trying to get it delivered, one of many draw backs to be living a lovely quiet life.....look forward to the next video as always.....
Your videos are so enchanting and so relaxing. I was on the island of Islay in April and watched your videos beforehand. What a wonderful landscape. The impressions really come across very well in your videos. I can literally smell the sea. Takes me right back 🤗
Hello from Michigan, USA - an exile from the UK! Thanks for all your wonderful videos, Ruth. There's so much to see in Scotland and I've not been back there for way too long. Looking forward to your next adventure. How come you are so lucky with the weather?
Dear Ruth, I’ve only recently discovered your channel, but I’m completely captivated. It brings back so many fantastic memories of my travels around Scotland when I was young. I love your presentation and the detailed descriptions of the accommodation and facilities. Makes me want to return in the near future x
Great video. Brings back memories of when I made the same trip in 1989.... the Munro is called Ladhar Bheinn (pronounced "Larven"), which I climbed en route to Inverie. The pub was much rougher back then....
Hi Ruth, it’s only Louise - just to let you know I’m just waiting for medication. So later on I will watch your Vlog/video - also just to let you know I’ve been referred to Saint Georges Hospital for advanced pain relief but I’m being well after at the centre by nurses, carers and physios - sending loads of love and loads of hugs as always~ Xxx Xxx
Oh that I could go into a village shop and buy venison like that. I live in rural France and we have a big problem with deer and also boar. They are hunted, but not very efficiently. Don't even dream of a vegetable garden; it'll be destroyed. And the meat is kept by the hunters for their freezers. But what a beautiful part of the world you've shown us. Amazing what a community can achieve
Install a farmer's style "electric fence" and it will protect your garden from wild deer and boar. Note you want a proper real electric fence controller (some small models use just "D" size torch batteries). Many electric fence controllers are adjustable (Low, medium or High shocking power) . If necessary you can set them to maximum, ie "stud bull during mating season" . Be aware that although safe for humans and legal for use, under very rare circumstances some domestic horses have died after being caught up in electric fences and unable to move away. Sometimes the electric fence conductor is incorporated into a kind of nylon ribbon, but there are various kinds. A good Earth connection is necessary for the Earth connection wire. . Usually one or more metal pipes are hammered deep into the soil nearby.
I’m a new subscriber and I’m so glad your channel was recommended to me! Sorry to be the one that overshares in the comments but i’ve struggled lately and then had a bereavement too. Your videos have been like therapy, your content really makes me feel at peace 🙏 thank you Ruth!
Hi, I just happened to see your comment & wanted to recommend another channel you might enjoy, which is @garyeats. He is such a lovely guy & he does these great restaurant reviews around the UK. There are alot of people there too that find his to be a great "comfort" channel. Gary, along with Ruth's channel are my two favourites on UA-cam & I don't miss an upload from either of them. Anyway, sorry when I saw your comment, just thought it was worth mentioning. 😊
Interesting history and what a spectacular place to hike id love this . I wish I could afford to go there it's lovely. Thank you for taking us with you what a lovely video London, Ontario Canada
In 2018, I flew to Inverness and stayed in the village of Beauly. It was part of my research for a children’s storybook I wrote, about an eight-year-old boy called Westie who takes the train from Beauly and has different adventures. Beauly is famous for having the shortest platform in the UK. In 2021, I self-published the book. 😊
It’s disgusting what my so called English forefathers did to the highlanders … one local family, the Levison Gowers who had land up in Scotland who were part of the forces driving the clearances lives near me in Shropshire and in a nearby village called Lilleshall, allegedly when the Duke of Sutherland died, his ‘grateful’ tenants erected a large stone monolith on the nearby hill. Funnily enough it was struck by lightening twice shortly after its construction… there is an inscription on it and I will let the reader make up their own minds about the type of people this family were: To the memory of George Granville Leveson Gower, K.G. 1st Duke of Sutherland. The most just and generous of landlords. This monument is erected by the occupiers of his Grace's Shropshire farms as a public testimony that he went down to his grave with the blessings of his tenants on his head and left behind him upon his estates the best inheritance which a gentleman of England can bequeath to his son; men ready to stand by his house, heart and hand. I wonder what the tenants of the highlands who were driven out would have made of these words?
Ruth, another great video, but DON'T refer to the glenfinnan viaduct as the Harry Potter viaduct. That is one of my pet hates because of that damn film.
Hallo Ruth, es un lindo lugar para estar, muy tranquilo y bien cuidado, excelente el sitio para estar. gracias a ti muchos vamos conociendo cada vez mas tu pais que tiene tantas historias interesantes. One kiss and good luck, continuosly. Tony 🌹
Wow that was brilliant to watch,thankyou.makes me want ti be more adventurous. My parents would take us to Scotland as a young family.I loved it,so beautiful😊
I think you are my new best friend!! Wish I had done what you are doing when I was younger!! Hope my grandkids might be inspired to take some time out of their life and go on an adventure just as you do! Thanks for letting me tag along on your journeys!❤️
Your videos are exceptional! I love the way you show maps and inserts to assist in understanding where you are going. I have learned so much. The clarity and flow when you are speaking makes everything easy to understand and interesting. Thank you for all your hard work sharing Scotland with us.
Just caught up with this video after watching your Kinloch Hourn to Barrisdale video. This has taken me back to my first Knoydart visit, way back in May 1979 - boat from Mallaig via Inverie to the head of Loch Nevis, and several days staying in the former outdoor centre there, trying to bag some Munros. Although it was May, it was very wintry, snowflakes the size of saucers when we landed, and sadly lots of dead deer because of the unseasonal snow and cold. A hike over to Inverie and back, no Old Forge pub then unfortunately. But a tremendous expedition nevertheless, culminating in a massive hike back to Mallaig via Loch Morar. Great to find all these memories stimulated by your video, Ruth.
Hi Ruth, You have mentioned that you would like some suggestions. One thought is that in the U.S. we have concerns about drinking water directly from streams, because of the prevalance of Giardia. We always boil water before we use it. Another idea is installing a carbon monoxide detector in your vehicle, "Ernie", especially since you use diesel fuel and a gas stove inside. A fire extinguisher is another consideration. We enjoy your episodes and wish you all of the best!
Thank you for another lovely guided tour in and around another beautiful hideaway village. Your luck at spotting Otters sounds about as good as my luck at seeing a Platypus here in Australia. We did the Ft William to Mallaig return day trip on the Jacobite Express and absolutely loved every moment. It was a highlight of our first trip to Scotland.
A walk I always meant to do, but too ancient now. However, I can see the peaks of the Knoydart Monros from my window, visible over the top of Ardnamurchan. Keep the videos coming!
I love watching your videos and getting to go on these trips with you. Thank you for taking me with you so I can see these amazing places that I will never get to go.

Happy to share them! Thank you 🙏
Your videos are so enchanting and so relaxing. I was on the island of Islay in April and watched your videos beforehand. What a wonderful landscape. The impressions really come across very well in your videos. I can literally smell the sea. Takes me right back 🤗
Thank you for your kind comments! I’m so glad you enjoyed Islay 😍
😀Greetings from Michigan! What a lovely video! I love learning about my ancestors homeland and you present it beautifully! Thank you Ruth!
Thank you! Always appreciate your lovely comments! ❤️
Hello from Michigan, USA - an exile from the UK! Thanks for all your wonderful videos, Ruth. There's so much to see in Scotland and I've not been back there for way too long. Looking forward to your next adventure. How come you are so lucky with the weather?
Thanks for watching in Michigan. I’m always on the lookout for a good weather window 🪟😆
Love a scenic walk with you x
Dear Ruth, I’ve only recently discovered your channel, but I’m completely captivated. It brings back so many fantastic memories of my travels around Scotland when I was young. I love your presentation and the detailed descriptions of the accommodation and facilities. Makes me want to return in the near future x
You need to return soon! Thank you for watching 😊

I enjoyed the relaxing vibes. Perfect for Father's Day viewing here in the USA. The Honey-Do List is taking a timeout.
Enjoy Father’s Day!

Another fantastic video Ruth!
What a wonderful and beautiful adventure.
You make me want to visit Scotland and explore.
You should visit!
スコットランドの美しい自然をありがとうございます。自然が主役で人は、最低限の手入れをしている感じですね。
Great video. Brings back memories of when I made the same trip in 1989.... the Munro is called Ladhar Bheinn (pronounced "Larven"), which I climbed en route to Inverie. The pub was much rougher back then....
The pub is lovely now. You need to revisit!
Fantastic! Can’t wait to go there. You should be paid by the Scottish government for your beautiful presentations.
Thanks so much, hope you can visit soon!
You are like a history teacherthat is teaching knowledge rather than history, and in the best way pposible!
Hi Ruth, it’s only Louise - just to let you know I’m just waiting for medication. So later on I will watch your Vlog/video - also just to let you know I’ve been referred to Saint Georges Hospital for advanced pain relief but I’m being well after at the centre by nurses, carers and physios - sending loads of love and loads of hugs as always~ Xxx Xxx
Thank you Louise, I hope you start to feel better soon and enjoy the video when you watch it! ❤️
What a charming little village. Nothing to do,but so much to experience.
We love that Ruth's videos cheer you up in tricky times, Louise. Armchair travels are good for the soul!
Hope you feel a bit brighter soon. N&Nx
もう日本に来ないんですか❓
Maaan, great little trip Ruth! Stunning!
It was! Thank you 😊
Oh that I could go into a village shop and buy venison like that. I live in rural France and we have a big problem with deer and also boar. They are hunted, but not very efficiently. Don't even dream of a vegetable garden; it'll be destroyed. And the meat is kept by the hunters for their freezers. But what a beautiful part of the world you've shown us. Amazing what a community can achieve
Install a farmer's style "electric fence" and it will protect your garden from wild deer and boar. Note you want a proper real electric fence controller (some small models use just "D" size torch batteries). Many electric fence controllers are adjustable (Low, medium or High shocking power) . If necessary you can set them to maximum, ie "stud bull during mating season" . Be aware that although safe for humans and legal for use, under very rare circumstances some domestic horses have died after being caught up in electric fences and unable to move away. Sometimes the electric fence conductor is incorporated into a kind of nylon ribbon, but there are various kinds. A good Earth connection is necessary for the Earth connection wire. . Usually one or more metal pipes are hammered deep into the soil nearby.
I’m a new subscriber and I’m so glad your channel was recommended to me! Sorry to be the one that overshares in the comments but i’ve struggled lately and then had a bereavement too. Your videos have been like therapy, your content really makes me feel at peace 🙏 thank you Ruth!
I’m so pleased 😀
Hi, I just happened to see your comment & wanted to recommend another channel you might enjoy, which is @garyeats. He is such a lovely guy & he does these great restaurant reviews around the UK. There are alot of people there too that find his to be a great "comfort" channel. Gary, along with Ruth's channel are my two favourites on UA-cam & I don't miss an upload from either of them. Anyway, sorry when I saw your comment, just thought it was worth mentioning. 😊
what a lovely place to retire, read, write, etc in a community of friends
Interesting history and what a spectacular place to hike id love this . I wish I could afford to go there it's lovely. Thank you for taking us with you what a lovely video London, Ontario Canada
In 2018, I flew to Inverness and stayed in the village of Beauly. It was part of my research for a children’s storybook I wrote, about an eight-year-old boy called Westie who takes the train from Beauly and has different adventures. Beauly is famous for having the shortest platform in the UK. In 2021, I self-published the book. 😊
I stopped there on my cape wrath trail walk, I absolutely loved it, the people are just awesome kind and friendly, I didn't want to leave.
It’s disgusting what my so called English forefathers did to the highlanders … one local family, the Levison Gowers who had land up in Scotland who were part of the forces driving the clearances lives near me in Shropshire and in a nearby village called Lilleshall, allegedly when the Duke of Sutherland died, his ‘grateful’ tenants erected a large stone monolith on the nearby hill. Funnily enough it was struck by lightening twice shortly after its construction… there is an inscription on it and I will let the reader make up their own minds about the type of people this family were:
To the memory of George Granville Leveson Gower, K.G. 1st Duke of Sutherland. The most just and generous of landlords. This monument is erected by the occupiers of his Grace's Shropshire farms as a public testimony that he went down to his grave with the blessings of his tenants on his head and left behind him upon his estates the best inheritance which a gentleman of England can bequeath to his son; men ready to stand by his house, heart and hand.
I wonder what the tenants of the highlands who were driven out would have made of these words?
Ruth, you are walking on a paradise! So many great experiences!
Ruth, another great video, but DON'T refer to the glenfinnan viaduct as the Harry Potter viaduct. That is one of my pet hates because of that damn film.
Oops, sorry!
Such a gorgeous area! The campsite and the bunkhouse look like wonderful places to stay.
As you are a Scottish born lady you should know it is not the "Harry potter viaduct" but the Glenfinnan viaduct....😡
John's an odd name for a lady.
Never been there, but it reminds me so much of where I grew up...the island of Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada. Pop. of only 600,000.
Hallo Ruth,
es un lindo lugar para estar, muy tranquilo y bien cuidado, excelente el sitio para estar.
gracias a ti muchos vamos conociendo cada vez mas tu pais que tiene tantas historias interesantes.
One kiss and good luck, continuosly.
Tony 🌹
I always imagine being "from" a place like this. The kind of person you turn into growing up in such a town.
Thank you Ruth for another great adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that was brilliant to watch,thankyou.makes me want ti be more adventurous.
My parents would take us to Scotland as a young family.I loved it,so beautiful😊
What a lovely place to come on holiday! 🏴
Thank you for taking us to places some of us will never see (chronic heath in my case), fascinating and showing the best your country has to offer.
I think you are my new best friend!! Wish I had done what you are doing when I was younger!! Hope my grandkids might be inspired to take some time out of their life and go on an adventure just as you do! Thanks for letting me tag along on your journeys!❤️
Once again a brilliant look at wonderful Scotland..you are the best..
Thank you so much 😀
Your videos are exceptional! I love the way you show maps and inserts to assist in understanding where you are going. I have learned so much. The clarity and flow when you are speaking makes everything easy to understand and interesting. Thank you for all your hard work sharing Scotland with us.
Awesome, thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Just caught up with this video after watching your Kinloch Hourn to Barrisdale video. This has taken me back to my first Knoydart visit, way back in May 1979 - boat from Mallaig via Inverie to the head of Loch Nevis, and several days staying in the former outdoor centre there, trying to bag some Munros. Although it was May, it was very wintry, snowflakes the size of saucers when we landed, and sadly lots of dead deer because of the unseasonal snow and cold. A hike over to Inverie and back, no Old Forge pub then unfortunately. But a tremendous expedition nevertheless, culminating in a massive hike back to Mallaig via Loch Morar. Great to find all these memories stimulated by your video, Ruth.
Hi Ruth, You have mentioned that you would like some suggestions. One thought is that in the U.S. we have concerns about drinking water directly from streams, because of the prevalance of Giardia. We always boil water before we use it. Another idea is installing a carbon monoxide detector in your vehicle, "Ernie", especially since you use diesel fuel and a gas stove inside. A fire extinguisher is another consideration. We enjoy your episodes and wish you all of the best!
Thank you for another lovely guided tour in and around another beautiful hideaway village. Your luck at spotting Otters sounds about as good as my luck at seeing a Platypus here in Australia. We did the Ft William to Mallaig return day trip on the Jacobite Express and absolutely loved every moment. It was a highlight of our first trip to Scotland.
A walk I always meant to do, but too ancient now.
However, I can see the peaks of the Knoydart Monros from my window, visible over the top of Ardnamurchan.
Keep the videos coming!
Your recordings aare the best on UA-cam! Your knowledge amd learning/s are wonderful and inspiring. Thankyou for sharing your adentures and knowledge!
That’s so kind of you to say, thank you!
I love watching your videos and getting to go on these trips with you. Thank you for taking me with you so I can see these amazing places that I will never get to go.
You are so welcome!
