    Don't mean to be geeky but an unusual fact about Loch Maree is that the largest island, Eilean Subhainn contains a loch that itself contains an island, a situation that occurs nowhere else in Britain (an island on an island on an island).

      @@JamieBarnes Why Didn't you just Say in Wester Ross? You know the Ross' were the Hereditary Priests and Rulers the Red Priests from Apple Cross in Wester Ross before Clan Arias soon to be known as the Great Clan Ross moved to Easter Ross and reformed the Earldom of Ross from the ashes of the Mormaerdom of Ross with the last Mormaer of Ross (and Mormaer of a couple other places) the once Thane of Scotland turned Mad King Macbeth! Give you a little hint, we didn't originate in Apple Cross, Clan Arias was Egyptian. Imagine going to a place in America but avoiding saying the State because you disfavor the people who bare its name and once ruled it. A deep seeded hate for sure. So why go to Wester Ross, why go to a place named Munro (Munro means Mont Ross) and proclaim the places Beauty, but refuse to say where you are for the overall name it bares and who it's bared by. You can't pretend Ross' can't see it, here in America they have our Feats marked down as firm US History but will leave our names out, unless one reads the expanded version. If you go to Ross, say I went to Ross, say you went to Wester Ross, or Ross County, or Ross-shire, even technically still the Earldom of Ross the best Title Still up for Grabs with one would assume the Chief of Ross, Barron Ross of Ross (for short) is surely eyeing!

      I dont understand why these guys from down south put the title 'the last wilderness in Scotland '. This area is wild theres no doubt but it's not the last. There are many areas up here both on the mainland and islands that are wilderness areas. I think the term was just used to sound more dramatic but doesn't actually do Scotland a service and I'm afraid and just isn't true. Have you been to all areas I doubt it if your stating this.Too much footage of equipment, maps and bothies. Gillies must have had a laugh ,honestly you really narrate this like shackleton to the pole - way too overly dramatic. Tbh the weather wasn't that bad and at that time of year we would consider to be reasonable. Sorry to sound critical but for some Scots it is a bit OTT pal.

    My God, that's absolutely breathtaking and I like in Scotland lol. One of the things I love about wild camping. The quietness and the feeling that everything has faded into the sands of time. Its amazing just to sit there and take in nature in all its glory.

    Beautiful scenery. Would love to paddle in remote Scotland but am too old now. In younger days I experienced wilderness canoe tripping in Ontario and Quebec. To Jamie’s many viewers that have enjoyed this, I recommend Justin Barbour’s canoe trek across Labrador, 83 days 1700 kilometres, alone with his dog.

    I've paddled Loch Maree. Beautiful area. After camping on an island a brutal storm made paddling very sketchy next morning. It was the only time I've dumped the kayak and walked miles back to the car before returning for the kayak.

    • @ryanbonner25
      @ryanbonner25 3 роки тому +2

      by saying "the last wilderness", jamie was talking about the imprint of modern man - the bleekness of the highlands, and the rest of the country is a result of deforestation, which took place across the centuries and millenia. not scotland's sparse population in the north.
      still beautiful though our country is, there's a sadness here too, as we stripped a lot of it bare a long time ago, killing our native trees and nearly every ecosystem with them. the untouched little islands in the video show us a delicate untouched balance of nature - it's not seen in many places anymore.
      tiny scotland has been incredibly enginuitive and inventive, masters of engineering and industrialisation, at one time building the biggest ships and bridges the world had ever known. we can be proud of that, but unfortunately the permanent scars are left across our wildernesses.
