Hi everyone, We never imagined we’d be in a position where we’d have to ask for your support like this, but the reality is, due to unforeseen circumstances, we’re facing some astronomical costs in order to make a critical transition. With everything that’s happened, staying in our current situation is untenable, and we need to move quickly to a new chapter. This involves significant expenses, including the logistics of transporting the sheep, our belongings, and everything else that comes with a major life shift. We wanted to fund this on our own, but at this point, we could really use your help to make this transition as smooth as possible. Any financial support you can offer would be deeply appreciated, no matter how small. Please donate to our new Kofi campaign here: ko-fi.com/thescottishisle Thank you for always being there for us, and for understanding during this difficult time. We’re truly grateful for each and every one of you. Much love, Scott & Katie PS: You will all be coming on this journey with us! So please stay tuned!
Your comment about the old crofting communities coming together in order to support each other and thrive resonated. You two have your own community of 50,000 subscribers who want to support you and see you thrive. They may not be your immediate neighbours but they are still there for you and demonstrate the inherent goodness of folk across the world. It’s a treasure.
It looks like Paradise from other people’s perspectives but, it must be serious that they need to pack up and leave. Refurbishing old listed places costs a huge amount of money, they are like money pits and Scott and Katie have done a tremendous job with all the restrictions imposed on them. Scotland is a beautiful place and the islands especially, however living there 24/7 is hard on a person physically and mentally. I have become very fond of Scott and Katie and full of admiration. They are brave to have taken the project on but even braver to leave it all behind. I sincerely hope they find another Paradise with much less hardship. Katie is a stalwart and a fine lady. I wish them both well and will continue to follow them on their next adventure. God bless. Xx
I totally agree with you. I live in a listed medieval castle in the Netherlands so I know how a money pit it is and very hard work and always something leaks or is broken which has to be fixed by ourselves because professionals don’t understand the building or don’t do this kind of things. It is beautiful living but it comes with litterly a price
Yep, totally agree, they have a lot of "pluck" as we say and will land on their feet, in spite of this hardship -- and at this time of year no less! I do not know all the details, but having to leave at this time of year especially is onerous. I predict your channel will only grow after this.
Wherever you two go next, wherever you end up, or whatever this channel turns into, just know you have a lot of followers who are happy to go with you and continue to support you. I know things are chaotic and stressful right now, but keep hope in your hearts and keep trudging on. I wish both of you every blessing I can give.
As hard as this is - you have gained experience in restoring an old cottage. Strength, determination and a wonder sense of humour has won this loyal viewer over time and again! Keep smiling - things will improve!
Well, my husband and I will still be watching your videos wherever you end up as although the setting was idyllic, the stars of the show is you guys. Onwards and upwards!
Never imagined that it would come to this. You having to leave. You both have worked so hard on the cottage and the grounds and I am just surprised that this is happening to you and the animals. I do hope you will be taking the stoves with and all. I pray you find something to your liking and though you are having to move from here under not so nice circumstances there is however the memories of the vlogs of some of the happier times you have lived there on the island. I have followed you from the beginning and will continue like a lot of your other subscribers. We look forward to what ever the new adventure will be. Keep your chins up Katie and Scott.
I'm glad you can still laugh. But seems as though you're spirits are broken. I haven't seen all your shows but what I seen was someone preventing you from being happy .😢😢 not be able to do what you need to progress. All your attempts were sabotaged. .This made not such a pleasant peaceful experience on that Beautiful Island . Sorry this has happened to you both and your pets. All the best for your future. Thanks for the videos 😊❤❤❤
Oh I am really shocked by hearing this! You live in a paradise, and I hope you find another beautiful paradise really soon for you and your sheep and cats. I am really sad to hear this and don’t know what caused it that you need to leave. 😢 love and strenght from me ❤
I discovered you four days ago by accident, binge watched, subscribed and joined the patreon, my very first! Your hard work, wit and excellent eye for good imafes had me from the beginning but Katie's voice and way with words are just a joy as are the glimpses of family via recipes and spirituality that weaves throughout. I pray for strength and a positive future for you all.
We can't believe what is happening with you leaving your beautiful island! There is probably a lot to the reasons why and we don't need to know! You both have put your total heart soul and effort into so many improvements! It's just a terrible shame u r leaving! We will all miss this special island. We look forward to every video.and we will continue to view your channel!
This video made me laugh, smile and also heartbreaking. Loved the Viking with an idea.. Katie I just burst out laughing when you found the wheelbarrow. What kind of people take your only source of heat. Monsters, just horrible. I do hope something better comes along and I will always be a fan.
Have been with you from the start and looking to following you in the new chapter. The scenery is beautiful but it's the two of you that we keep coming back to watch
You are so cheeky to say you don’t see the wheelbarrow. I love watching your videos and your relationship with each other and your lay back life style.
I hope you find somewhere soon and can move your things. I think you should take the stoves with you if possible. You've clearly improved the place, and the owner has taken advantage of this . I will continue to watch you guys on your journey. I'm in it for Katies calming voice. Oh, the monty python or abscure film references from Scott !!!
So sorry this is all coming to an end, I have so loved your channel. I have been with you both since day one. I look forward to your next adventure, what ever it may be. Scott you remind me so much of my late husband, he was English from the north, you come out with the same things, its uncanny, even down to the clothes and cap. I wish you and your animals a future worthy of your hard work and genuineness, with your fabulous following you are bound to find something which is just YOU! You are a pair of wonderful human beings it is definitely their loss. Love and Blessings from NZ
What a huge sigh of relief I had when Katie said that things were bright! I have so much going on in my life that I didn’t acknowledge how worried I was for the pair of you. I hope your new landing is soft and safe and permanent for as long as you want. I love watching your channel. You both do such a good job. Thank you. 🤗
My hope for you is that you find a place that’s peaceful but close to civilization. I have been with you from the beginning and love what you were trying to accomplish. It will be fun to see what is next for you both
I live in South Africa. Always wanted to go to Scotland to old now 78 😢 I've watched your most delightful channel since the beginning. I can't tell you how upset I am that you are moving away. It seems as if part of my family is leaving. I'm going to miss everything about your wonderful life sooooo much😢😢 Please don't take to long to start another on so we can follow along again. I pray God will bless you both richly. Much love 🇿🇦🏴 👍👍💜💜💜
I'm sure I'm not alone in praying you find yourselves in the exact place you are meant to be and a way to remove yourselves from the current situation with more ease than it took to get there. Hopefully with circumstances more in your control. I agree, the channel is an amazing resume and reference for you both. I hope it helps greatly! ❤
I've loved watching your adventures for over a year, & I'm so heart-sick for you about how things have soured there! I can't help financially, but I'm wishing you well from the USA & praying you find the perfect best place for you very soon! Can't wait to see the next chapter of your adventures! 💕💕
Many congratulations on your 50k, great achievement! Looking forward to the next adventure, which I hope will be warmer and drier for you. Loved seeing the deer, seals, and all the autumn colours thank you.
Seeing you drive home on that track i am speechless. What would you do if snowed in, or if the car packed up, or trees down, blocking access etc. No regular access to drinking water, food for pets let alone yourselves! Now no heat. Please get out now. It's insane. So dangerous. No access for emergency vehicles if ill or accidents. Guys you are so brave but for goodness sake, there is darkness in this place. I cant imagine who the owners think will ever live there - maybe someone with a good motor boat as a summer retreat, otherwise its madness.
@@CrankyBeachit ain’t going to happen as Katie/Scott are much smarter than that. 😊.. it’s a plausible thing you said .. But Katie/ Scott are too smart for that and have solicitors involved. They are on to much better things now. 😊
So hoping that your move is smooth and your new gig, whatever it is, is all you hope for💚 You guys have given so much of yourselves to us and I will continue to look forward to all you will bring in the future!
It must be such mixed feelings for you both.. you put your hearts into there and its very sad but you have a big love there and have learnt alot… bless ya hearts
My heart breaks for both of you! You have been such a blessing, restoring this place in treating it like your own. I feel terrible that you’re forced to leave. You will be in my prayers that God find you the perfect place to go . Much love from Texas.
Katie, I thought that you and Scott had bought this property and help with maintaining the property around yours for the use of the quad and trailer. But my thoughts and best wishes are with you guys. So sorry for what you guys are going through. You were doing such a beautiful job on this property.
It appears that it was an arrangement with the owner to maintain, renovate and film this process of the house whilst living there in horrible conditions. The boats, quad, trailer were provided to them to take care of the property around there. In effect, they had to work and live under severe circumstances and then the owner reneged on the agreement and starved them out. I am guessing that the owner did not want the terms of this agreement published, hence their reluctance to publish their circumstances.
@@marylyon1230 They have had the quad, trailers, and the chainsaws all removed from the island now 😡 So I hope someone comes forward to help them with moving.
It was a lovely episode and wobderful to see the seals! Like everybody else who has followed your journey, we feel sad for you both , BUT it seems very much as if it's time to move on ! Fire wood removed? burnt tree? and the gate left open recently etc. A new future and challenge awaits you 🎉 🐑🦭
Its all experience that you will put good use. Nevertheless I can imagine the sadness of having to leave despite the difficulties put in your way. But look at the wonderful channel that you have built, and the thousands of followers. We will be with you because I am sure you will create another unique bower. Let peace follow you.
We spent years living in vehicles and then years on the English canals, we would always make our little space nice and homily.. then we'd get moved on or loose our mooring. Came north in 2004, after wifey got a teaching job in an island school with 60 kids.. been here 20 years now. Can't beat island life.. just maybe not a privately owned one. Good luck for the future.
Your 50,000 subscribers will grow! You are both talented and loved! ❤ I will continue following you because you are witty, genuine, and doing your country, and it's people a great service in history, restoration, and patriotism! We all love the beauty and solitude of the island, but you will find an even better treasure soon! Stay brave and have heart!❤❤
I feel quite sad watching these now. 😿 You all deserve a lovely and stress free home. We’re going to miss the island as will you. The island will miss you.
I’m heartbroken for you both. Truly. I am disappointed not to have seen Scott’s reaction when be came home to his wheelbarrow. 😅 Not fair editing that out. ❤
The wheel barrow hunt was so flippin' funny. I laughed out loud at your devious sense of humor, Katie. 😆 I have never given sheep much of a thought but watching your sheep with you two has given me an appreciation for how sweet they can be. Too bad you can't take your new deer friend with you. They will definitely miss you and their sheep friends. Scott's love of animals is so visible in the joy he expressed finding the seals. Congrats on hitting 50k so quickly! It's very much earned and I have no doubt you'll hit 100k in no time. Proud to be a supporter of this channel. I'm so happy for you and your success with UA-cam. I knew when you published your first video that you had a gold mine on your hands. I wish you all of the best in your hunt for a new home and look forward to following you on the journey ahead.
I hope you find a wonderful new place to live with your sheep and cats. The scenery at the Scottish Isle has been fantastic, but it's you two who make the channel work and we will follow you wherever you go on your next venture.. the very best of luck with your search.. x
As much as I enjoyed today's video it was bittersweet. And I'm just a viewer. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling. Remember, no matter what we will for ourselves, God's will is bigger and better, always. Scott, I was heartened to see your Bible out, that made my heart smile. I pray God's will comes to you and blessed you richly. Katie, regarding the wheelbarrow, you're a girl after my own heart. 😊 I will be here as long as you are.❤
We were stationed in Berlin from 3/85 to 7/88. It was the best assignment we ever had. We traveled every chance we had. We went to the British NAAFI numerous times and took the British duty train every time we had visitors. Living in Berlin was a wonderful family experience.
Fear not, life unfolds as it should. You will change and grow again and all will be well. I am sorry you were prevented from fulfilling this dream but another awaits, I am sure. Best of luck to you both. We will be here for you.
I love you both and this channel has been amazing, I’m so thankful I ran across the channel. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to what comes next. Love you and this channel is amazing. Excited to see what’s next ❤️🙏🤗
Awesome video, so glad that you found your wheelbarrow. Such picturesque scenery and seals and a castle in your sights, I can only imagine. Well wishes for a new place to move. Take care you two!
You know, if you could find a bit of land with a cottage and barn near a town or village, you'd be set! You could use part of the barn for furniture restoration, live in the cottage, and the sheep on the land.
the silver lining after the storm...I too, am doing a massive change in my living conditions, relocating, new job, etc etc. A bit overwhelming and a bit unnerving but exciting all the same, and as I am sure it is the same for you, bright changes are coming. Hang in there !
I have trouble thinking about where you will end up next. Thank you for the year of interesting and enjoyable viewing. I do feel that the fact 51K+ viewers look forward to watching you two, may be there is a little jealousy at play here??? Be safe you two. Please do not go away without saying where to find you. I have enjoyed every second. Every moment. More Kathy, Scott and pets please.
Over the months,watching your video so interesting, but looking forward to the other place,im sure it will look lovely when completed take care stay and stay safe
Scott and Katie, we have so enjoyed your videos and adventures on the Scottish isle! We will follow where ever you go. We have some familiarity with the challenges you faced there, my sisters husbands family have a cottage in the Yorkshire dales, they’ve owned it since the 1960s, and use it for holidays. However, no one has lived there for years. People tried to, but when it rained, water literally seeped up through the flagstone floor! It’s damp in places, the water is piped through from a spring, but the supply feeds two farms as well as the cottage and can run very low, or sometimes stop altogether. There’s a filter, but the water must be boiled before drinking. There is only one coal fire for heating, which also heats the water. Everything freezes up in winter, you can get snowed in for weeks! The cottage next door, which is a more modern rebuild, was sold two years ago, and the family toughed it out for two years before admitting defeat! We love going there, and always do a bit of work to contribute to the maintenance, but living there would be a different story! Once off the main road, it’s a mile of farm track and several gates to open and close to get to it, and the end near the cottage is unfinished and very rough. But like the Scottish isle, it’s an amazing place to stay. We hope so much that you find somewhere equally amazing, when one door closes another opens! All the skills and experience you’ve gained will go with you too, wishing you all the best, and look forward to your next adventure 😊
Great video tonight, sorry to hear what is going on but I'm sure you'll savour the next part of the journey, we'll all be with you on your travels.hope things come together with ease.thinking of you 🙏
I've really enjoyed the scenery you've shared. So beautiful. Hope your next adventure is in an equally beautiful place. Thanks for all of the history lessons
Have watched every episode from the beginning. Sorry to hear youre leaving, the scenery is spectacular. Hope you find another suitable location. I wish you both well and look forward to your next challenge.
THROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS WEEKS VIDEO YOU TWO ARE HILARIOUS……..COME ON KATIE AND SCOTT WE ARE ALLL BEHIND YOU …..# Scott and Katie 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love Scotland too but can’t see the attraction of such an isolated life. For me the local people are also a joy…..and a source of neighbourly help in times of trouble.
The sheep are so sweet 🐑and the look on Crowdy's face when the deer was eating the food was hilarious 🦌The owners of that Island don't deserve such a beautiful place - nor do they deserve you both. Despicable what they've done. Well, I say good ridance to them. Better days are acoming. And I will follow you to end of the earth. And I am more than sure that the next place will be a blessing in disguise. And you'll be treated a lot better. God bless and sending you loads and loads of love xx Teresa xx 🇦🇺♥
Amongst all this stress and turmoil and you still manage to turn out a very enjoyable video! I admire you for taking the high road and let karma take care of the rest. I loved the search for the wheelbarrow and I loved seeing how chuffed Scott was at seeing the seals! Congrats on 50K and I look forward to your new chapter. I am also glad you will not have to drive that road for much longer!
Nice views of the seals! I hope you both find a place tot stay en from there start to work on your future. I Will stay to follow your journey. Good luck with everything. (And Yes take everything with you, it will be Needed in a new restouration.)
I live on the shore of a sea loch and starting later this month ( nov ) its going to get stormy. One bad storm I lost my wooden dinghy. It turned up miles up the coast and I got it back :-) I've found all sorts of odd things on the beach after a storm. Good luck with the next part of your adventure :-)
I’ve watched and enjoyed your videos.I used to live in a small village many years ago where the scenery was very similar to your island.which I miss deeply You both are strong people and a formidable pair together .your love of all nature etc .I’m sure you will soon be sharing your videos again. Best wishes and stay strong
My heart would shatter if I had to leave this amazing place , in a vicarious way it is . Whatever and wherever you go we go with you . Much like the crofters of the past we all wish to see each other thrive . ❤
I have watched you since episode 1. Thank you for the content. I hope you find another project. It would be a travesty to lose you as a channel. Clearly see how deflated Katie is. Big up Scott. Yorkshire born an bred. You got this.
Looky here, old, retired business consultant here. Sorry to hear that things have come unwound with the island gig but let's see what this little sortie has yielded. First off, you two are the show. Not the island, not the critters, not the tide, you two are the reason why there are subs and why you've done as well as you have. Simple fact, accept it. Secondly, the top drawer photography accentuates your presentation. So what have we learned? We've learned that you two actually ARE interesting and can build a YT channel thourgh engagement and photography. Guess what? YA DON'T NEED AN ISLAND OR TUMBLE DOWN SHANTY TO HAVE YOUR CHANNEL BE SUCCESSFUL. What you are taking off the island when you leave is EVERYTHING you had that made your channel succeed. If nothing else, hook up with Ruth Aisling and Fandabobi Dozi and somewhere between the two is a great fit for the two of you. YOU have made the channel, don't let go of being YOU and sharing YOU with us. Shoot, some of us may even kinda like ya just a little bit! ;-)
OMG The quad, trailers and the chainsaws have been removed from the island. I pray someone can and will help with your move. Katie sanding outside that house 🤔🥰 (I love the house) I'm so worried for your fur babies. Please take care of each other and your darling pets. Sending much love to you both ❤❤
So nice that you found your wheelbarrow. I watch your channel on occasion and have to say I will miss you. Blessings be yours wherever you move next and whatever you do next.
So sorry it has come to this after all your hard work and devotion to the cottage. Where ever you settle I look forward to following you, I hope your sheep are all goung with you.!
Just know that we were here with you Katie & Scott from the beginning, your path is unknown so we will wait We’re not going anywhere, we look forward to being along for the journey on your next adventure. Xxx❤🇬🇧
Prayers for a wonderful new adventure! Please, have a good contract with the next owner if you enter into such project again. I hope a good lawyer helps.

Amen to that!
Yes , I agree.
They poured so much hard work and Love into this place .. very sorry and upset at how they were treated.. Stay safe beautiful people 🙏❣️
The removal of the firewood, knowing it's their work not source of heat, is petty and cruel.
Auto correct has struck again!
That was supposed to read, "their only source of heat."
Why are they leaving? What has happened?
Which video does it show the reason or how they were treated, please?

Brilliant to see the seals in their natural habitat. Wow you both work so hard. Loved the historical narration Katie. Thank you. 🐑🐑🐑🐈⬛🐈⬛
Seeing you drive home on that track i am speechless. What would you do if snowed in, or if the car packed up, or trees down, blocking access etc. No regular access to drinking water, food for pets let alone yourselves! Now no heat. Please get out now. It's insane. So dangerous. No access for emergency vehicles if ill or accidents. Guys you are so brave but for goodness sake, there is darkness in this place. I cant imagine who the owners think will ever live there - maybe someone with a good motor boat as a summer retreat, otherwise its madness.
The darkness is within the owners.
@@CrankyBeachit ain’t going to happen as Katie/Scott are much smarter than that. 😊.. it’s a plausible thing you said .. But Katie/ Scott are too smart for that and have solicitors involved. They are on to much better things now. 😊
So hoping that your move is smooth and your new gig, whatever it is, is all you hope for💚 You guys have given so much of yourselves to us and I will continue to look forward to all you will bring in the future!
It must be such mixed feelings for you both.. you put your hearts into there and its very sad but you have a big love there and have learnt alot… bless ya hearts
My heart breaks for both of you! You have been such a blessing, restoring this place in treating it like your own. I feel terrible that you’re forced to leave. You will be in my prayers that God find you the perfect place to go . Much love from Texas.
Katie, I thought that you and Scott had bought this property and help with maintaining the property around yours for the use of the quad and trailer. But my thoughts and best wishes are with you guys. So sorry for what you guys are going through. You were doing such a beautiful job on this property.
It appears that it was an arrangement with the owner to maintain, renovate and film this process of the house whilst living there in horrible conditions. The boats, quad, trailer were provided to them to take care of the property around there. In effect, they had to work and live under severe circumstances and then the owner reneged on the agreement and starved them out. I am guessing that the owner did not want the terms of this agreement published, hence their reluctance to publish their circumstances.
@@marylyon1230 They have had the quad, trailers, and the chainsaws all removed from the island now 😡 So I hope someone comes forward to help them with moving.
@@marylyon1230 this is what is called constructive evacuation and is prosecutable by law.
It was a lovely episode and wobderful to see the seals!
Like everybody else who has followed your journey, we feel sad for you both , BUT it seems very much as if it's time to move on !
Fire wood removed?
burnt tree? and the gate left open recently etc.
A new future and challenge awaits you 🎉 🐑🦭
Its all experience that you will put good use. Nevertheless I can imagine the sadness of having to leave despite the difficulties put in your way. But look at the wonderful channel that you have built, and the thousands of followers. We will be with you because I am sure you will create another unique bower. Let peace follow you.
I really would love to have seen Scott’s face when he found out about the wheel barrel 😂
We spent years living in vehicles and then years on the English canals, we would always make our little space nice and homily.. then we'd get moved on or loose our mooring.
Came north in 2004, after wifey got a teaching job in an island school with 60 kids.. been here 20 years now.
Can't beat island life.. just maybe not a privately owned one.
Good luck for the future.
Your 50,000 subscribers will grow! You are both talented and loved! ❤ I will continue following you because you are witty, genuine, and doing your country, and it's people a great service in history, restoration, and patriotism! We all love the beauty and solitude of the island, but you will find an even better treasure soon! Stay brave and have heart!❤❤
I feel quite sad watching these now. 😿 You all deserve a lovely and stress free home. We’re going to miss the island as will you. The island will miss you.
This says it all, THE WHEELBARROW you guys are awesome
I’m heartbroken for you both. Truly.
I am disappointed not to have seen Scott’s reaction when be came home to his wheelbarrow. 😅 Not fair editing that out. ❤
Thank you, that drone brings such spectacular addition to the channel. Hello seals 🦭💕
The wheel barrow hunt was so flippin' funny. I laughed out loud at your devious sense of humor, Katie. 😆 I have never given sheep much of a thought but watching your sheep with you two has given me an appreciation for how sweet they can be. Too bad you can't take your new deer friend with you. They will definitely miss you and their sheep friends. Scott's love of animals is so visible in the joy he expressed finding the seals.
Congrats on hitting 50k so quickly! It's very much earned and I have no doubt you'll hit 100k in no time. Proud to be a supporter of this channel.
I'm so happy for you and your success with UA-cam. I knew when you published your first video that you had a gold mine on your hands. I wish you all of the best in your hunt for a new home and look forward to following you on the journey ahead.
I hope you find a wonderful new place to live with your sheep and cats. The scenery at the Scottish Isle has been fantastic, but it's you two who make the channel work and we will follow you wherever you go on your next venture.. the very best of luck with your search.. x
As much as I enjoyed today's video it was bittersweet. And I'm just a viewer. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling. Remember, no matter what we will for ourselves, God's will is bigger and better, always.
Scott, I was heartened to see your Bible out, that made my heart smile.
I pray God's will comes to you and blessed you richly.
Katie, regarding the wheelbarrow, you're a girl after my own heart. 😊
I will be here as long as you are.❤
Guys am loving your life on here, just love scotland
We were stationed in Berlin from 3/85 to 7/88. It was the best assignment we ever had. We traveled every chance we had. We went to the British NAAFI numerous times and took the British duty train every time we had visitors. Living in Berlin was a wonderful family experience.
I agree! The best part of my childhood (early teens) was spent in Berlin. I love Germany.
Fear not, life unfolds as it should. You will change and grow again and all will be well. I am sorry you were prevented from fulfilling this dream but another awaits, I am sure. Best of luck to you both. We will be here for you.
We're absolutely on fire for the future. However, we could do with a quad.
@@TheScottishIsle How in the world are you going to get the furniture out of there?
@@TheScottishIsle Hope one turns up for you soon. :) Love the Viking joke. Super. Also love your sense of humour Katie .. good fun.
I love you both and this channel has been amazing, I’m so thankful I ran across the channel. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to what comes next. Love you and this channel is amazing. Excited to see what’s next ❤️🙏🤗
Even though you are leaving, it has been another enjoyable episode. Congrats on 50,000 subs. Xx
Awesome video, so glad that you found your wheelbarrow. Such picturesque scenery and seals and a castle in your sights, I can only imagine. Well wishes for a new place to move. Take care you two!
You know, if you could find a bit of land with a cottage and barn near a town or village, you'd be set! You could use part of the barn for furniture restoration, live in the cottage, and the sheep on the land.
Watch this space. 😉
I’m so pleased for you , that your target has been achieved . Loved the filming of the seals . Hope you can stay warm .
the silver lining after the storm...I too, am doing a massive change in my living conditions, relocating, new job, etc etc. A bit overwhelming and a bit unnerving but exciting all the same, and as I am sure it is the same for you, bright changes are coming. Hang in there !
Love how you tease each other! Good luck with the coming days and weeks
Wishing you all well...staying tuned...💚
I have trouble thinking about where you will end up next. Thank you for the year of interesting and enjoyable viewing. I do feel that the fact 51K+ viewers look forward to watching you two, may be there is a little jealousy at play here??? Be safe you two. Please do not go away without saying where to find you. I have enjoyed every second. Every moment. More Kathy, Scott and pets please.
Over the months,watching your video so interesting, but looking forward to the other place,im sure it will look lovely when completed take care stay and stay safe
Scott and Katie, we have so enjoyed your videos and adventures on the Scottish isle! We will follow where ever you go. We have some familiarity with the challenges you faced there, my sisters husbands family have a cottage in the Yorkshire dales, they’ve owned it since the 1960s, and use it for holidays. However, no one has lived there for years. People tried to, but when it rained, water literally seeped up through the flagstone floor! It’s damp in places, the water is piped through from a spring, but the supply feeds two farms as well as the cottage and can run very low, or sometimes stop altogether. There’s a filter, but the water must be boiled before drinking. There is only one coal fire for heating, which also heats the water. Everything freezes up in winter, you can get snowed in for weeks! The cottage next door, which is a more modern rebuild, was sold two years ago, and the family toughed it out for two years before admitting defeat! We love going there, and always do a bit of work to contribute to the maintenance, but living there would be a different story! Once off the main road, it’s a mile of farm track and several gates to open and close to get to it, and the end near the cottage is unfinished and very rough. But like the Scottish isle, it’s an amazing place to stay. We hope so much that you find somewhere equally amazing, when one door closes another opens! All the skills and experience you’ve gained will go with you too, wishing you all the best, and look forward to your next adventure 😊
Great video tonight, sorry to hear what is going on but I'm sure you'll savour the next part of the journey, we'll all be with you on your travels.hope things come together with ease.thinking of you 🙏
Thanks, Leslie!
I hope you will be compensated for the work you did on the place.
I've really enjoyed the scenery you've shared. So beautiful. Hope your next adventure is in an equally beautiful place. Thanks for all of the history lessons
The other thing you saw was a seal sitting relaxing :)
Been with you two from the beginning. I will follow. Much love from Chicago.
Nice history stories. My Mother was from Glassgow. I'm in Australia as she came here when she was 9.😊
Have watched every episode from the beginning. Sorry to hear youre leaving, the scenery is spectacular. Hope you find another suitable location. I wish you both well and look forward to your next challenge.
THROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS WEEKS VIDEO YOU TWO ARE HILARIOUS……..COME ON KATIE AND SCOTT WE ARE ALLL BEHIND YOU …..# Scott and Katie 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love your attitude of perseverance. Many are missing teaching todays children that vital skill.
I love Scotland too but can’t see the attraction of such an isolated life. For me the local people are also a joy…..and a source of neighbourly help in times of trouble.
Arkansas USA A real shame what's happening. We will stick with you!
Hello from a fellow Arkansan!
The sheep are so sweet 🐑and the look on Crowdy's face when the deer was eating the food was hilarious 🦌The owners of that Island don't deserve such a beautiful place - nor do they deserve you both. Despicable what they've done. Well, I say good ridance to them. Better days are acoming. And I will follow you to end of the earth. And I am more than sure that the next place will be a blessing in disguise. And you'll be treated a lot better. God bless and sending you loads and loads of love xx Teresa xx 🇦🇺♥
Amongst all this stress and turmoil and you still manage to turn out a very enjoyable video! I admire you for taking the high road and let karma take care of the rest. I loved the search for the wheelbarrow and I loved seeing how chuffed Scott was at seeing the seals! Congrats on 50K and I look forward to your new chapter. I am also glad you will not have to drive that road for much longer!
That's because we have faith in God to deliver what's next. And we know it will be better! So please stay tuned!
Beautiful views.
Congratulations on all the subscribers. Will be you wherever your meant to be…❤❤❤
Katie--that wheel barrow section was priceless!!!----Kind of thing i'd to to my missus!!!----lol.
Sending virtual hugs and best wishes on the next chapter!💗
Nice views of the seals! I hope you both find a place tot stay en from there start to work on your future. I Will stay to follow your journey. Good luck with everything. (And Yes take everything with you, it will be Needed in a new restouration.)
I live on the shore of a sea loch and starting later this month ( nov ) its going to get stormy. One bad storm I lost my wooden dinghy. It turned up miles up the coast and I got it back :-) I've found all sorts of odd things on the beach after a storm. Good luck with the next part of your adventure :-)
Will follow you always…all the very best for your next chapter ☮️🧚♀️💜
Great “Dad” joke!!!!!😂. I look forward to your new adventures …… and you sharing them! This Texan looks forward to what’s in your future.
I’ve watched and enjoyed your videos.I used to live in a small village many years ago where the scenery was very similar to your island.which I miss deeply You both are strong people and a formidable pair together .your love of all nature etc .I’m sure you will soon be sharing your videos again. Best wishes and stay strong

Thank-you, Deborah!
My heart would shatter if I had to leave this amazing place , in a vicarious way it is . Whatever and wherever you go we go with you . Much like the crofters of the past we all wish to see each other thrive . ❤
I have watched you since episode 1. Thank you for the content. I hope you find another project. It would be a travesty to lose you as a channel. Clearly see how deflated Katie is. Big up Scott. Yorkshire born an bred. You got this.
Looky here, old, retired business consultant here. Sorry to hear that things have come unwound with the island gig but let's see what this little sortie has yielded. First off, you two are the show. Not the island, not the critters, not the tide, you two are the reason why there are subs and why you've done as well as you have. Simple fact, accept it. Secondly, the top drawer photography accentuates your presentation. So what have we learned? We've learned that you two actually ARE interesting and can build a YT channel thourgh engagement and photography. Guess what? YA DON'T NEED AN ISLAND OR TUMBLE DOWN SHANTY TO HAVE YOUR CHANNEL BE SUCCESSFUL. What you are taking off the island when you leave is EVERYTHING you had that made your channel succeed. If nothing else, hook up with Ruth Aisling and Fandabobi Dozi and somewhere between the two is a great fit for the two of you. YOU have made the channel, don't let go of being YOU and sharing YOU with us. Shoot, some of us may even kinda like ya just a little bit! ;-)
Thank you! We'll be taking you all on the next adventure, as soon as this drama all subsides (which will be any day now).
OMG The quad, trailers and the chainsaws have been removed from the island. I pray someone can and will help with your move. Katie sanding outside that house 🤔🥰 (I love the house) I'm so worried for your fur babies. Please take care of each other and your darling pets. Sending much love to you both ❤❤
So nice that you found your wheelbarrow. I watch your channel on occasion and have to say I will miss you. Blessings be yours wherever you move next and whatever you do next.
The channel is not ending. We're only moving to a different locale.
@@TheScottishIslethat's wonderful to hear! Thank you for responding 😊❤
Best to you both and your fur babies. Looking forward to continuing your journey with you.
felt this one coming, sometimes life has an other plan with us..wishing you the very best!
Agree. I didn't like the setup from the beginning.
Better than where they’re now.. too remote!
So sorry it has come to this after all your hard work and devotion to the cottage. Where ever you settle I look forward to following you, I hope your sheep are all goung with you.!
Just know that we were here with you Katie & Scott from the beginning, your path is unknown so we will wait We’re not going anywhere, we look forward to being along for the journey on your next adventure. Xxx❤🇬🇧
Come to Ireland, the grants for stone cottage renovation are quite significant!! and the weather is 'better' than Scotland ;)
Tell that to Leitrim 😂
@@Squarepeg57😂
Dreams that become nightmares, been there done that. all the best Cheers.
Look forward to following you both in the next chapter of your life.
Wishing you good luck and good fortune from Australia.😊
what a kind offer ,from chap below ,please keep doin videos n take care ,you are a lovely couple xx
Thank you for all your hard work I really hope everything works out for you, keep the faith love you both 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️
I love the “Viking with an idea”. I’m Viking
So am I. Well, Anglo-Scandinavian.
Prayers for a wonderful new adventure!
Please, have a good contract with the next owner if you enter into such project again.
I hope a good lawyer helps.
