Thank you all for the amazing comments on this video - its been hard to answer them all but I thank you all for watching and taking time to leave a comment :) If you like the longer form videos here is a link to all the longer videos I have on my channel: ua-cam.com/play/PLhFhqvuwQ5xWZs2yZt5BGhWPQidlYKm43.html&si=fkjtPDdlJoFxpdW0 Thanks for watching Murray
Unbelievably beautiful mountain and you were SO lucky with the weather up the mountain for which The Ceilidh Place in Ullapool used to name a "Stack Polly" (a massive ice cream and fruit sundae). Great video. Assynt is beautiful. Canisp, Quinag, SP....
Thank you for your brilliant outdoor channel showing Scotlands wonderful scenery,mountains, woods and wildlife. It was lovely seeing the Robin eating the food you kindly left it,I bet he appreciated that,especially in those cold temperatures.
Murray, I just wanted to write and let you know that I think your film production and editing is superb. It's easily the best of all the UA-cam channels I watch.
Another outstanding video which shows, like you said yourself, the huge and spectacular variety of the Scottish landscape. Coigach and Assynt hold a special place in my heart, I know that I will be watching that mouthwatering drone footage of the sunrise from Stac Pollaidh again and again. Thank you for another year of superb videos Murray, and all the best for 2024!
Most of Scotland's landscapes have been heavily degraded and damaged ecology for decades unfortunately. We have some of the lowest biodiversity remaining in the world.
Stac Pollaidh. The most beautiful mountain in the world, with the most stunning views. I last climbed this just before the Covid lockdowns, with my sons. Sadly, my eldest boy passed in September. I have a wonderful picture of him at the summit. I will cherish this super little mountain and its memories forever. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful place with us all again ❤
Hi Victoria - so sorry to hear of your loss. Stac Pollaidh is a wonderful mountain and always a pleasure to visit. Hope you get to visit at some point Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Watched this on the big screen, wow this is amazing…Murray you should be making a fortune doing this for tv your photography, time lapses, and videoing it’s just unbelievable and brilliant… thank you so much for sharing these adventures they bring so much happiness ❤
I've also started watching Murray's videos on the big TV. Seems a crime to watch them on a small phone screen. The sequence at 25:40 is just ridiculous!
great 2 see jerry again brilliant views beautiful cracking the one last week wee watched it twice it was amazing great your videos r amazing look forward for your videos next week 👍💋
I loved seeing Gerry again, the diamonds glinting on the snow, flying 360 around Murray (always special), and the vacuum-cleaning Robin Redbreast in your van. I loved everything, actually. Thank you so much.
Absolutely loved it! I cant wait until I can visit your beautiful country one day. Although, I wouldnt bother changing shoes at crossings. Happy to wear wet feet in that instance. Love all your Vids, well done!!! 🙂
I watch every video, with a sense of awe at how you manage to make us feel like we’re there with you. Never stop what you love, as we can feel it through your videos. Im Scottish (just down the road from you) but i live in Denmark now, so watching your videos makes me often homesick but also very proud of where i come from. Thank you.
Watched this in two halves.... it was phenomenal! What has stayed with me is just how close your tent was to the edge on top of Stac Pollaidh! The night sky and the snow on the mountain ranges were so beautiful. Always love seeing you and Gerry walking together. 🙂
Wow, way to make the most of a winter long weekend Murray. A thoroughly appropriate final video of 2023. Thanks for sharing all the magic of the Scottish hills this year.
Hi Murray Happy New Year 🎉 to you and your family. What a trip to end 2023 amazing drone footage and voice over commentary so informative, wishing you many more trips to our beautiful mountains. Thank you so much for all your hard work filming,editing your videos. ATB take care.
We scattered my Dads ashes on Stac Pollaidh in 2018 he was climbing the range right up to his 70s he was 89 when he passed his explicit instructions were to have half his ashes scattered on the Stac and half on the Sgùrr of Eigg , his two favourite climbs in Scotland. Both are very special sites to me now and Ivisit regularly when I can get the time away from the day job.
Great video Murray. Some stunning scenery you captured.Love the timelapse & drone footage . The van must be a joy to have for these kind of trips. Thanks for sharing.
This was fantastic, really enjoyed the longer format. The mountains and views were beautiful. Thank you for taking us along with you, as it’s not something I would ever be able to get to do. My dad also from Scotland enjoyed this as well, he is 90 🙂
Of course I made it to the end Murray, your vlogs are outstanding and such an inspiration on how to hike in the glorious Highlands safely and responsibly…long may they continue.
As you say my friend, stunning just stunning, Oh how I wish I could go hill climbing, so it means a lot that you share your wonderful adventures. Thank you so much again
Thanks Murray for another excellent video. After visiting the Highlands for many years and now having the privilege of living in the Highlands, your videos continually inspire and challenge to get out there and up the mountains to experience these stunning landscapes. I especially appreciate the special videos where you're out there with your son, as I'm now doing similar hikes with one of my sons. Thanks for all the effort you expend, not just on the adventures themselves but also in the dedication with the professional post processing to bring us all such enjoyment with 'being part' of your adventures and giving us new ideas and plans! Best wishes to you and your family for 2024.
The gatecrashing robin was waiting for your return. This adventure of yours, pitching your tent on the edge, in the snow with the starry night. It's what it's all about. Bloody dangerous though ?
Another wonderful epic video Murray, and thanks especially for showing me the views from the Drumochter hills 35 years after I did them in cloud and drizzle! I had better weather on "Stac Polly", but that was even longer ago. I definitely need to get back to Assynt, and the next time I do it I'll take a tent :) Nice finish at Glencoe!
What a superb film of a great looking adventure. I loved the drone work on Stac Pollaidh. Amongst the fantastic views and filming is evidence of your love of the hills and the massive amount of experience you have in them. What a brilliant way for you to sign off 2023. I look forward to seeing what you have for us in 2024. Have a very Happy New Year.
Wow! What an adventure! Another outstanding video showcasing Scotlands incredible mountain landscape at its very best 🏔🙌. Those views and drone shots, just epic! We love how you follow the weather, and aren't afraid to drive hundreds of miles in order to get the best chance of a rewarding hike. We really appreciate the effort you put into your videos, which are, in our opinion, the best you tube has to offer. We wish$you lots more adventures in 2024 Murray, All the very best to you and your family. Shell and Pete 🎊😊👍
Rarely was I ever warm in my tent, I always used to have a dram before kip. One weekend at a BMW meet the girlish contingent were leaving and one of the guys offered us a third bottle of Brandy and plain lemonade . That night with just one brandy and lemonade i had the best sleep ever - warm as toast and still sober.
Another stunning video Murray. I thought last weeks one was spectacular but this one is even more if that's possible. I don't think theres anyone else that could bring us these truly wonderful videos however hard they tried. ATB and look forward to the next one.
Excellent stuff - really does showcase the variety we have in Scotland 🏴 Hope you and yours had a good Christmas and wishing you lots of adventures in 2024 🥃
Three very different viewpoints. Ive not visited Assynt yet however everytime I see videos, I feel the need to make the effort - a 2024 must do... Im hoping to pitch up on one of your favourites in Glencoe tomorrow night.. weather looks perfect... Thank you as always for the mighty effort and for sharing Murray... 👍
Hi Jim - hope you had a good camp in Glen Coe - we were up in you local yesterday and it turned into a fine day and evening - hope you got home before the snow set in today :) I look forward to seeing your video :)
Great video Murray! Happy New Year to you. What's the last Munro to do and are you planning on it this year? Can't believe the Scottish Tourist board don't ask to use your YT. Amazing footage as always.
Thank you - much appreciated :) last munro is Seana Braigh , might be a few years before I get round to doing it!!lol - maybe one day - or I may never do it to say I didnt compleat ;) lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Wonderful video, Murray. I really enjoy these multi night adventures. I have to say your still photography is stunning - I'm still waiting for the book of landscape photography!
Once again you have given us a wonderful video..Gerry said to stop using the word stunning...sorry Gerry but this was a STUNNING video....superb drone footage mixed with ground footage and time-lapse produced a simply breathtaking video...Absolute great views at each location...A happy New Year to you and family and if course young Gerry...very best wishes.
Another spectacular video. Though I do sometimes feel queazy when I see you stood at the tops of some of the mountains. I am living my dream through you. Look after that robin, suspicion states that... Robins appear when a loved one is near. It means they are at peace.
Loving these longer films Murray, I had a bit of a crap day at work today and this was a true remedy for my bad mood. Thank you for all you do, it is always appreciated. Atb brian.
Epic. The light and views are stunning. Made me feel very small and insignificant amongst of those powerful hills. Your camera work is amazing. I could taste that clean cold air, feel the biting cold in the shade and the dry winter warmth of the sun. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you a thousand times.

I always get a special warm feeling when walking these hills and always more quiet and peaceful than Cairngorms or Skye.
@@ibrstellar1080 it's a very unique and special place 🙂

I only noticed that in the edit - would love to say it was intentional 😂👍
So beautiful!!
Awesome Murray. Something very special about snowy summits and no wind. Thanks so much for sharing the trip with us
Stunning, Brilliant & So So Beautiful yet another outstanding film

Drumochter looks so crisp and fresh and have done them in the same conditions and perfect hills for novice winter walkers.
Another great few days in the winter wonderland that is the Scottish mountains in the snow and frost. Thanks for sharing it with us!
The amazing story telling and videophgraphy, thanks alot Murray 😅😅😅

Another good expedition Murray. Stac Pollaidh is a special mountain such superb views. Look forward to the next adventure.
Loved the video. Good to watch a road trip plus hills. Such variety in just three places. Scotland is truly magnificent in its offer.
Loved that footage of you enjoying those magnificent views

Brilliant video thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas
I can't find the words to tell you how I appreciated this video. Amazing views, amazing adventure! Happy New Year full of more like these ones!
What a night to mention the hills around the Drumochtar pass.
Hope everyone is safe and well.
