Aside from the beauty of the island watching the two of you solve problems and coming up with solutions, is truly delightful viewing...you both are an amazing couple.
Your base for the Starlink is brilliant - if it turns out to be in the exact right spot, you could face the cement slabs with small stones and it would be very much like the rock next to it. Sort of cairn like. A proper combination of ancient and high tech!
Probably because they are becoming extinct, in this polluted electrified world we live in today. No one knows how dangerous electric Wi-Fi and magnetic frequencies are. Our birds and bees are dying because we love our computers and mobile phones. I got rid of my mob a long time ago, I never liked them, I come from a time of landline if you were out you were out. I love that freedom. this iPad is next as I am not prepared to consent to any more contracts.
SO exciting! Congratulations on the Starlink. Soon you will make it blend in to the land scape as much a possible I am sure. Love your journey and thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow, I think it is a great job putting it up. You can find ways to blend it in. So happy to find this channel. I am loving it. Been watching past posts. Love the island. I grew up early in life as my parents “homesteader” rural Alaska. No roads in to the area of Talkeetna. Early 1950s. I love the rural life, would have loved to visit your area as my dad’s ancestors were from there. Keep on sharing your awesome new life there. ;-)
I love watching the light on the water and the wee island beyond where you were at the end of your video. People will always complain about cats:but, your cat is an indoor pet most of the time. I think I saw an otter while you were setting up the Starlink. I can only imagine the deconstruction looking back at the cottage. Till next time get some rest.
I've always quite liked the juxtaposition of the modern with the old, or tech with nature. It reminds me of how living in rural areas without falling into rural poverty is much more possible now - a total game-changer.
Hi! It is so brill that you will be proper happy campers! Foot in the land/TV land. A cosy down film with toast and cheese, mugs o steaming tea, n cake. Love o yer life right by yer side. Now that's beautiful! ❤ So happy for you both. And your cottage zoo. My life is richer watching you both. Thank you for your time. Keep being amazing! Helen from Scotland. Xx
Perhaps paint the top paving stone with yoghurt and a little soot to encourage the growth of moss and lichens. Adding bits of wood etc on top would help disguise things?
I am thoroughly enjoying your UA-cam channel. The scenery is unmatched and your day to day life is soothing. Truly, the way life should be. To be so alone and remote, yet still connected by internet and cell phones, it is very calming.
Hi again from Australia 🇦🇺 What teamwork you two. I am a widow if 5.5 yrs and envy you pair. What a great life you have. & what a wonderful back drop. God bless 🙏
Funnily enough I was watching Doctor Who with Tom Baker yesterday, from 1978 and there was a drain cover sprayed silver fixed to the wall as a prop speaker
I wouldn’t worry too much about how it looks, although once you’ve put rocks and moss around it it’ll be so much better, but it sort of shouts ‘real modern people live here’ which I think is just amazing. To live somewhere so fantastically remote and yet be connected to the whole world 😀 we’re in rural Spain and had similar issues with internet until we got Starlink… it’s a brilliant service. It’ll transform your lives 😃 I kid you not!
Hi from Belgium. So interesting to see the things you're doing. You make a great couple. It's beautiful there , and you both have the gifts and abilities to do all that's needed in making it work. ,ove the Scottish accent, and music.
Could you disguise the star-link set up with a “fence”/cage of green cami-netting? Some types are really effective for hiding things like unsightly wheely-bins/dustbins & maybe star-link stands. Obviously the actual dish would have to be clear & unobstructed, but all those slabs & it’s stand could potentially be camouflaged. Love from Annie, in Foggy Cornwall, 🙂🌸
Many congratulations on the 50th Episode of The Scottish Isle. I know there have been a few 'extras', like the mad dash across the island re-edited, but it's a significant milestone, especially with the launch of Starlink. We will all benefit, and I hope it makes your lives a little easier. Spring hasn't quite sprung yet in the Northern Highlands (Inverness) but the signs are there and it won't be long now. I note your wishlist, but what's your next priority for our financial support? Best wishes to you and the zoo, especially to Nigel who is my particular favourite!
Thank you! There is definitely a change in the air; the sun is higher in the sky and the daffs are sprouting nicely. We have a kitty on ko-fi for new camera gear - it'll be amazing for you all to see this place filmed on a proper camera. I'm quite fond of Nige, myself. 😉 Kx
Fine work, you two! It may not look lovely and natural, but it's a necessity. Rather like those BIG TV dishes in people's yards, years ago. Technology develops, and in 10 years, that dish will be obsolete, and there will be something tiny and hidden in the grass :) When I saw the thumbnail photo, I thought the dish was sitting on a wooden base. The concrete slabs, from the side, look like wooden slats. It's not too bad as it is!
Great work both of you. It’s going to make such a difference to your work. Was just thinking, maybe you could buy some reflective sticky wrap to put on the back of the dish & stand so it blends in better to the area?
I'm very sorry if you feel the skylink spoils your view but thank you very much for putting up with it to give us all such lovely vlogs, it is much appreciated :)
I found your channel quite recently. So I went back to the beginning and watched them all, 2 or 3 a day. Then I ran out and experienced withdrawal symptoms..... so this episode was good to see!! Keep up the great work.
Hello Katie and Scott, congratulations on installing your new satellite dish or lack of knowing how to phrase it. I hope you receive much better reception? So that you're able to get your videos done better to your liking. Looking forward to the next video.
Congratulations on the Starlink installation. Everytime I tune in, i'm left in awe of the views you get to enjoy on a daily basis. Has living this experience changed you?

That was the best non-unboxing, unboxing video. Congrats on your new bandwidth!
Oh my gosh, I love you guys! All of your tv show and song references, etc. Congrats on the interweb upgrade!!
Scott you need to stand there permanently with dish raised above your head mate..x 😂
My back hurts in solidarity with you Scott. 😂 Congrats on the Starlink 🎉
You two the banta, the crack.!! Very Funny😂
Ha ha hilarious, man and box!! my partner and l bought a set of draws from IKEA!! I had to leave him in the bedroom for 5 hours to set them up 😂❤
Talk about teamwork! Congratulations 💚
Awww love the birds❤

A beautiful day for you! Thank you for sharing and showing the glorious wee birds that, for some odd reason, make my heart sing.
A sign of spring!

I love this UA-cam channel❤
You both are amazing 😊
❤Thank you❤ excellent work
Thank you too!
I like the way it looks, an inspiring statue of science 💫
Congrats on your Starlink installation!

Great you got your internet sorted out. Always good too see what you are up too. Look forward too the next chapter.
Star Link, communication game changer for you. Congratulations!
Loving the journey that you are both on, thank you for taking us along with you.
Woo-Hoo!!! So happy that you are up and running.
Yes! Thank you! Kx
I love watching the light on the water and the wee island beyond where you were at the end of your video.
People will always complain about cats:but, your cat is an indoor pet most of the time.
I think I saw an otter while you were setting up the Starlink.
I can only imagine the deconstruction looking back at the cottage.
Till next time get some rest.
Nice one. When you came out of your house I thought you were going to say - This week, I 'ave been doing skylink ;)
A smashing video as always and enjoyed the new music 🎶 ❤

Loved seeing the birds 😊thank you ❤
omg! the underthinker time too funny!
You two are a great team. Congratulations on your starlink. It will make a big difference for you.

that’s a very neat job those paving stones.. 👍 great solution and to build a moss cairn etc… worthy of turner prize nomination
The Blair lot had plans to establish them all on Mull, but the idea was shelved. Can't imagine that would have gone down well with the islanders...
I am thoroughly enjoying your UA-cam channel. The scenery is unmatched and your day to day life is soothing. Truly, the way life should be. To be so alone and remote, yet still connected by internet and cell phones, it is very calming.
Happy for you guys 😊
The Sun is glorious in Minnesota today too. Love it
Great job guys!!
Well done! It should look better when the base looks more natural. ❤❤
I like how you think it through and worked together to accomplish the task at hand. Very well done! ❤
Great to see you have your Starlink now.
Thanks 👍
Hi again from Australia 🇦🇺

Funnily enough I was watching Doctor Who with Tom Baker yesterday, from 1978 and there was a drain cover sprayed silver fixed to the wall as a prop speaker
So happy for you that you now have Starlink! We love ours as we're kinda in the Scotland of America. Great Videos! Just love 'em!🥰

Hello from the rocky coast of Maine, Brunswick, US,,,,,
Hi from Belgium. So interesting to see the things you're doing. You make a great couple. It's beautiful there , and you both have the gifts and abilities to do all that's needed in making it work. ,ove the Scottish accent, and music.
Just started watching your video, interesting, 😊
We hope that you stick around. 👍
Tough job! Glad it’s 2 youngsters doing it. Wishing you well
Congratulations on your new system

We have one here in country Australia. It works a treat. Remember setting it up and the panel turns and fixes on the nearest satellite.
Congratulations on your Starlink ! ❤
This is so awesome for you folks!

Katy took the thought oughta my mind stack the slate and make it a cairn. So glad you've got Star link finally. Bless you both
Nigel’s Point. LOL very happy for yous!
Awesome ❤🎉
Hi once again a very interesting programme. Thank you so much!
Fantastic job!!! Xx❤❤
Enjoying your set up, heavy timbers to weatherproof for wind etc.
Back in time with today's modern help, I love the island❤
Fine work, you two! It may not look lovely and natural, but it's a necessity. Rather like those BIG TV dishes in people's yards, years ago. Technology develops, and in 10 years, that dish will be obsolete, and there will be something tiny and hidden in the grass :)

The Battlestar galactica remake us the best tv show ever made! Might be able to rewatch now you have starlink!
Excellent improvisation...I'm sure you'll blend it in very nicely...Now you're proper Muskites.
What an epic day you had . Genius 👍
Welcome to the 21st century earthlings!😊
I couldn't watch your video yesterday because my internet was out! LOL
Relatable. 😂
Great work both of you. It’s going to make such a difference to your work. Was just thinking, maybe you could buy some reflective sticky wrap to put on the back of the dish & stand so it blends in better to the area?
I'm very sorry if you feel the skylink spoils your view but thank you very much for putting up with it to give us all such lovely vlogs, it is much appreciated :)
We'll make it look like it's always been there, in due course. It's not the dish that's the eyesore so much as the slabs! Kx
Here we go Good People❤
We anchor off your island from time to time… we’ll wave at you this summer!
After a bit you won't even notice it.😊 it is just when it is new
Right On!!! 😀
👍👍
Congrats on the gift to us viewers!! 😂 you two are the best human inhabitants on that island. ❤
😂
The base actually looks like a square bee skep, which fits very well. There’s no hiding the white square, but the rest looks like it belongs there.
Awesome
Congrats!
You can disguise it as a beehive 😂
Great job you two!
Great teamwork guys x❤
You both did a great job 🤗❤️
Hurray, up and running 😂 good work guys ❤
Irish moss would work well also. Love your videos. You both are very strong to lift those huge blocks.
I found your channel quite recently. So I went back to the beginning and watched them all, 2 or 3 a day. Then I ran out and experienced withdrawal symptoms..... so this episode was good to see!! Keep up the great work.
Currently we put out two videos a week, so you won't have withdrawal for long!
Arabian Knights on Saturday mornings along with the Banana Splits. Great TV 😄
So happy for you. Thank you for all your hard work.
What about a sac barrow for moving a heavy load? They're cheap to buy but ever so useful.
Awww, how lovely...you've got it now. ❤ Made my day. 😊
Hello Katie and Scott, congratulations on installing your new satellite dish or lack of knowing how to phrase it. I hope you receive much better reception? So that you're able to get your videos done better to your liking. Looking forward to the next video.

We're even more reluctant to go into town than we were before... 😂
Glad that your internet problem is now resolved.
“This is not an unboxing video…” it’s an ASMR video. 👂🏻
5:06 to see Scott whack himself in the face with a box 😂 congrats on a job well done!
Tom Baker is my favorite Dr. Who. I am 72 years old.
Mine, too. And I'm 25 years younger.
“Strength of a sheep,” 🤣🐑 Congrats!
Your download speed is four times faster than the supposedly super fast that I get near a city in the central belt 😂
All electronics for the internet make me an underthinking 😂😂
❤
Wonder if you could spray the stand & the back of the dish the same colour as the rocks to disappear them?
