What a lovely soul this man is ....very pleasing to my eyes 😊 living his truth ❤
Thank you ☺️☺️☺️
Yes, I agree! Awesome way to live your life!!😊
I was watching Netflix and sitting on my couch…..it was just BORING! Amen to that my friend. Good on you
Thank you! 👌😎
Netflix sucks !
Now he's watching Netflix in his van, naked in bed 😂
This is my dream to run off in a van since I was a kid ,my daughter might be moving out soon and her middle name is Sky not Skye though lol great van!!
An honest and straightforward account of Van-life from a proud Scotsman. I Really enjoyed the interview and some great advice. Thank you.
Thank you 😎
Loved this video, such a nice positive guy. Love from a wee Scottish granny.
Aww thank you Ann 😊
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🚙 42 is the meaning of life. Love this guy, his attitude & philosophy. Great practical choice of a van. Here's wishing you many happy years of exploration 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Aww thank you Angela! ❤
@@scottishmaninavanI subscribe to your channel because of this video and your awesome van 🚐 💨 I’d like to see more videos of the interesting places you go to in your van in future 💙💙💙
What a top bloke, great attitude and great outlook on life.
Thank you ☺️
What a great episode. We're both in our mid 70s now so only go out for holidays but in our late 30s we went to live on a narrowboat with 5 children. Go for it, you've only got one life!! Good luck to you.
Amazing! Thank you 😊
Fantastic, as a caravan park manager here in Australia I get to see so many different ways you can set your home up on wheels & they’re all impressive.
Love this channel 🍻🇦🇺🤘
Thank you 🙌
These two are just awesome at it!
Can't wait to get my van ..and explore the beauty and people of Scotland...HEAVEN ON EARTH❤
💙🏴💙
You'll be made to feel most welcome.
Smart man. Get your life the way you want it while your young.
Now, you find pleasure in simple things. Better late than never.
Cheers.
Watching you from Ontario, Canada.
Absolutely right! Thanks for watching 😎👌
Awww loved this guy. I'm a Scottish gal and I just appreciated everything he was saying about the life we are "expected" to live and then being able to break free from that. And just not give a toss about what others think. 😂 There's a part of me that craves such freedom and I've watched loads of van lifers but I loved relating to a man from my home for a change 😊
Aww thanks Charlene, I'm glad it resonates with you ☺️
haha i love how they gave up trying to bleep you after 10 mins lol true Scot
😂😊
Handsome man. I love his accent. 😇 😊 Greetings from Germany, Anni
Thank you 😊
A proud Scotsman, and a Dundonian just like myself.
Get in there anni.❤😂

Me and hubby used our van last week. Stayed near Loch Lomond. I agree. Even in Scotland. Teddy bedding. I woke up numerous times boiling lol. Was in the Highlands last year. Love Scotland. Still got many places there to see.
Those sheets are a godsend aren't they? Enjoy exploring more of Scotland when you come back! 😁
Yes they are. Thankyou. Will do. @@scottishmaninavan
Love your van and also that you are from Dundee! I am in Florida but my maternal grandpa was born in Dundee and later grew up in St. Andrews before taking off and seeing the world! My grandpa lived to be 100 so I got to know him well and hear his stories and life. He was a Fyffe (MacDuff clan). Married and came to America in his 30s, had 4 children. I have owned two VW Westfalia camper vans in my life and loved them. Wish they made them again. Traveled most of eastern America in them.
Well what a lovely video, very pleasing to the eyes, 😉 love Scotland, love his attitude and take on life, definitely your time, enjoy 💙🏴
Thank you! 😊
The Scottish music at the end is nice! What is it?
Really enjoyed meeting you Scottish Man, respect your patriotism, and that you live for yourself. I envy your freedom.
Cheers Ken! 👌
Patriotic Scot but their country is poor, overcast 11 months per year, potholes everywhere and everything closes at 5pm. Delusional Scot more like.
Freedom, lol. They take orders from England. They were not allowed the independence results of indyref 2 because it was not sanctioned by Westminster, lol.
You’re such a gentle soul. I love Scottish music.
What a charming guy who is mesmerizing as he shares his incredible van life. I bet women and men alike were imagining sharing his van ... I know I was 😊.
Glad I could view this inspiring video.
Aww thanks very much, lovely thing to say 😊😊
You’re living a great life, traveling & enjoying Scotland 🏴 Handsome man, beautiful accent, and adventures. 🏴💙
thank you! 😁😁
What a really nice bloke! Great to meet him and listen to his story, and the van is nice also👍
Thank you! 😊😊😊
You are legend bro!
I went to Scotland for a few nights summer 2023
Edinburgh, Stirling Castle etc... Beautiful country, absolutely fantastic people!
❤ from Poland 🇵🇱
👊💯😸♥️👍🏻
Cheers Tom! I've been to Poland a couple of times myself in the past, loved it. The food was incredible, as were the people 👌😎
Beautiful! I’m in the US but everything he said was universal
Thank you!
Fantastic life change David at probably the perfect time in life ,all the very best on your travels from a fellow Scot .
Cheers Colin!
I wish David had a youtube channel. For those who limit their social media to facebook and youtube then we have no options to watch him. Great van. Great kilt. Cute knees. :)
I may start a UA-cam at some point but not right now
Freedom to live the life you want. You're doing it. You are so inspirational. It's my goal too. Thank you for sharing so much.
Thank you 😊
Yes, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Love the accent.🤗
Thank you😊
Brilliant. I love seeing that more and more people, of all ages are taking to alternative lifestyles. So right that many people say they wish to do something different. The hard part is actually doing. But if you can find the confidence to try, it is truly rewarding.
100% agree 👌
Genuinely a nice guy !
Having just watched a video by Liveration , about a friend of a good friend of mine .. stumbled onto this. Great guy.
Greetings from Glencoe.
OMG the pipes always bring me to tears, love em.
❤❤
Thank you for introducing to us another fellow traveler with his head screwed on right. ♥♥ I enjoyed this video so much, that I'm off over to Instagram to see more of David.
Awesome! Thank you Beth ☺️
Looks like a great life. ❤🇨🇦🏴
He made the right choice! fair play sir. Lovely to see the little robin bobbing around too... safe travels and adventures. atb
Thank you!
Good attitude, good outlook on things, fair play to him
Love it !! Living the good life !! Fair play to you for taking the plunge!!💛🌻
Thank you!
Hi thank you for sharing your lovely life with us.
Scottish man in a van- living Philosophy. It appears he has found purspose and meaning for life by transcending fears and self limiting mindsets. Toptastic.
What a sound fella !!!
Head strong , but humble
Best wishes
💪
Absolutely fantastic. Such honesty, admirable.
Cheers Robert
New to your channel. Loved your van, and no nonsense attitude. Your still young my friend. I will be 62. ,wish I could do it for a few years before I get to old . A pleasure to meet you. Keep em coming. . Thanks david❤
Cheers Michael 😎
I really enjoyed this episode. What a great gentleman. Couldnt agree with him more. Very inspiring indeed! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you, lovely thing to say ☺️
Fantastic, so many underlying sentences that resonate with me, nearly three years on the road in various vehicles, lookin to move to Spain this year for the warmth n to treat my Harley to smoother roads, converted Iveco camper n a Harley in the back, what more do you need in life.
Oh n the music was stirring ❤
Superb Billy, sounds like a plan! 👌
Informative, entertaining & so interesting! What a dream he's living!🏴💗
Waoo! I love his approach to life ❤🎉 very self conscious and honest! Love love love the van and his lifestyle and he is fit too😂😂
Haha that's Laura ☺️☺️☺️
Laughing at the no swearing sign as he lets F bombs go off! 😂😂 guess it's just a suggestion more than a rule. Lol! I have the same van in American version, midsize wheelbase & short roof which I can still stand up in.
Love the accent. I miss my grandparents. Mom born in Dumbarton came to the US as a toddler. We both plan on going back to the Motherland for a visit. I have never been. Gotta be the good daughter & take her soon.
Lovely build. Love the color!
Rules are there to be broken 😂
@@scottishmaninavan lol
Mum was from Dumbarton? As was David Byrne. But you probably already knew that, I suspect.
@@jimdunbar5461 no idea wtf you mean but I suspect you already know that 🤷♀️
@@theroaminggnomad If you take the trouble to re-read what I've written, then you will understand exactly what I mean. It's written in simple, straightforward English, ffs.
I've been living on wheels as a nomad in the US for 19 years now, it's easy over here. I'm toying with the idea of returning to the UK (born in England) and doing it there, but at 62 with a teensy pension, I'm not sure I could afford even that lifestyle. Enjoy the videos, keep them coming, it's helping me to figure things out.
Fantastic young man. I just love the pipes. Take care.
Beautiful scenery and my time is *Awesome*. I hear ya. Thank you for Sharing. Happy🤗 Van life outdoor living. Texas/USA 🇺🇸
I've been working from home full time since September 2018. I've always been a bit nomadic and have thought about trying this kind of life, but that would be quite a leap for me. So I'll continue to live vicariously through you for now 🙂
Hope you're doing well mate, your first sentence is brilliant, you summed up modern life.
Sitting in front of a tv watching netflix etc.
I'm with us bro 💯 🇬🇧
Me watching it thinking he 26 hearing he got 21 yr old 🙃 x
He's a handsome fella
Haha Thank you! ❤
I love your vanhome…it’s absolutely perfect. I can see it gives comfort as well as opportunities for some great adventures. A lovely balance. Thank you for sharing with us 💜🙏💜
Thank you!
Oh wow I could listen to this guy all day … awesome van
Thank you
On ya go man! I totally relate to the whole thing about hitting 41 & just not caring about other peoples opinions. You definitely made the right decision by the looks of it. Best wishes on your travels!
Thank you!
Fantastic, really inspiring, its great to see someone doing what they want and living their best life ❤
Thank you, I'm certainly trying to! ☺️
Switched on fella,Yep cost of living has us all thinking alternatives,our van is out the front as we currently staying with Father in law to give him some comfort after his wife passed but as we sold our house we are definitely thinking fulltime in future picking up work as we move around Australia in near future.Looking forward to a more simple life.
I have a lot of family in Oz, I was actually born out there to Scottish parents who moved 'home' when I was 10. My cousin was telling me about how crazy the house prices are now, it's bonkers! so I reckon you're on the right path to some kind of freedom from that shite 👌
@scottishmaninavan yep for sure mate,my older kids are struggling to stay afloat now let alone try to get a place of their own.
@@dismaldog same in the UK man, it's a disgrace
I totally love this Scottish man in a van video! Makes me want to put my kilt on and jump in my van and enjoy van life and get away from it all. Thank you for sharing this very appealing and well done video.
Thanks for watching 😊 glad you enjoyed it!
❤❤❤
Lived in Dundee for a few years and honestly I think you need to go out to the lovely Scottish countryside to not go stir crazy. Great van tour, sounds like a wonderful change in life.
There's so many places near Dundee as well to do exactly that
Wow. Greetings from Texas, David!
Fantastic video. Fantastic attitude. Safe travels my friend!
Cheers Jimmy! 👌😎🥃
I love your van! Well Done for seizing the opportunity to buy it already converted and thanks for sharing your story and the amazing scenery! Scotland is a beautiful country.

I’m Scottish too and I’d love to do this, seeing the northern lights and all the beautiful scenery and night skies etc - but I’m too girlie, would need a separate shower/toilet area 😂

Great guy, he's all sorted 💪
Your accent is so sweet. Your van is really cool. ❤
Love your van. Its so well designed. I bought a mini caravan which is big enough to stand up in. The beds turn into two work areas during the day. Freedom in nature - there's nothing like it.
Fantastic Emma!
Well done mate can't wait to start my journey this year 👍
Good luck!!
Would it be too orward to say, I'm about to lose my flat and woulld you like a guest? This looks great.
Keep on keeping on guys 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely brilliant video. I’m ready to make the move into vanlife and this video has made it even more appealing.
Ah fantastic Craig! All the very best with it. If you've not done so already, I would always recommend hiring one for a couple of weeks first and live in it, see how you get on 😊 The freedom is just incredible
What a life,and what a van you have sir!
