Thank you for your tour - not a tree to be seen ANYWHERE - very sad for you guys - altho I can tell you are very proud of your home island ! Try planting a couple of trees & see how that works out !!! This island is just like a mirror image of the Falkland islands I've viewed...same climate of course - same shortage of trees, altho a few homes there have managed to grow a few ! Ah well - this life breeds hardy people so that is a positive !
Thanks to your devoted heart that I could visit your beautiful and stunning place being thousands kilometers from you. I'll keep this journey in my heart
I thoroughly enjoyed this. I have travelled the UK extensively but never here. I really must set the record straight. I imagine the air up there is as fresh as it gets....
I'm so glad you enjoyed it - thank you! Yes, clear air and clear skies, so it's a great place for watching stars and seeing the Northern Lights if you're lucky!
If the Scottish Heritage allows, then I love to live in this tranquil paradise. I am multiskilled from Banking to agriculture... Even tour guide and poetry.... I always was fascinated by Scotland. But this place is more magical than any other parts of Scotland I visited or lived.
We currently don’t have any available accommodation but, when any properties become free, they are advertised on the National Trust for Scotland’s website 😀
Thanks for the tour! Such a special place to live, I'm forever baffled by the lack of trees, since where I live we have nothing but trees. They do obscure the view a bit. 😄
I loved it, stayed up way past my bedtime to watch! I love the little store, if it also sold wool & a bit of fabric it would have everything I need. you are a wonderful guide and narrator, I really felt I was there. Thank you for sharing☺️
Love your tours, Rachel ! I loved seeing inside the little shop/ post office ! The shop really is quite well stocked ! Have a nice week and again, thank you very much !
Thank you for sharing these tours of the island. I really appreciate the time and effort you're taking with them. It seems like you've got quite a list of things to record - I'm looking forward to them 😊
@@barklandcroft3416 let me know if I can buy yarn from you. I bought some from Scotland wool market last spring when I visited. Those are the best trip memories ever.
Aw that’s lovely - it’s brilliant how different yarns have different memories attached to them! All being well I should have my first batch of wool for sale in late spring next year!
@@barklandcroft3416 Very exciting. Here is my email; ecogalsales@gmail.com. Let me know when you are ready to sell. Too bad my friend who spun passed away. We would have had fun with new fleece.
I can’t thank you enough for these lovely videos Rachael. I was scheduled to have my third, annual, visit to Fair Isle this October but... Hopefully things return to normal soon. I hope everything is well as it can be on Fair Isle. Cheers and thanks. Bill
Another lovely and informative video. What a pity only one wind turbine works. Wind is something you have in abundance there and it is sad they don't work. There was a lot of heavy traffic about though. 😆
wish Fair Isle could avoid turbines somehow (wave-energy?) knowing how they're clobbering birds elsewhere not infrequently. Hoping no Siberian Rubythroats have been/get blown into one (can't be ticked if dead!). No sheer drops this time, Rachel!
@@barklandcroft3416 think it's the bigger windfarms & lines of them on main migration routes like (in Europe) Tarifa in SW Spain that account for most of the fatalities of birds & bats (birds have just crossed over from Africa and are exhausted by then) - but some of the figures are horrific...all about 'green' money IMO! Nuclear is safe (a lot of ignorance & deflecting going on) and only initially expensive - but not a gravy train, you see! See my thread (if you can stand it) or just the included youtube video! :- twitter.com/malakadonai/status/1166869335173935105
Lol just can’t grasp the concept of life there. I guess they’re used to it. But we’re just so used to Costa, motorways, malls, pubs, stadiums. Can’t believe they even had to go by the covid rules as well!!! 🤣 They’re probably the most socially distanced people on the planet!
With up to three planes a day, six days a week, plus a ferry that operates three times a week, all bringing people on and off isle, there’s been every need for social distancing and adhering to other COVID rules.

Nice video, and commentry.
Brilliant! You’ve brought a remote and beautiful place to those of us who can’t see it for ourselves. Thank you ❤️
You’re so welcome!
You know I specifically loved this one! Wonderful, Rachel. It's nice to hear you say the place names as I follow along on my little map.

Very nice commentary, thank you
oh this is wonderful. shared to FB and will watch this on my huge screen youtube through roku. For best fun! Thank you so much!
You’re so welcome!
That was a very fun tour around your area. So nice to see water and green grass. Very different from my desert, land locked home.
Thank you so much, Anne, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

Great video how do you make a living?

Don’t worry, only one of them works! Not aware of any reports of birds being hit by it though.

change the subject....like the new sweater, Rachel!
Why you dont try to plant some trees.....? Some pine trees or something else to make the island more attractive?
Lol just can’t grasp the concept of life there.
I guess they’re used to it. But we’re just so used to Costa, motorways, malls, pubs, stadiums.
