Thank you very much. Your autumn videos are excellent. New subscriber here 👍

Thank you very much. Yes, Galloway is a beautiful and wild area with very few visitors. Best regards from Scotland 🙋‍♂🐶

Thank you very much for your kind comment. It's been a pleasure to share such fleeting beauty. Best wishes from Scotland 🙋‍♂

Thank you Bart for your kind words. I'm no photographer though. These were all taken with my phone and it's the subject that deserves any praise that's going. Have a great weekend 🙋‍♂🐶

Thank you very much! I'm pleased you enjoyed it 🙋‍♂

🤗🤗🐶

Grazie cara Claudia. L'autunno è un periodo meraviglioso dell'anno, e in particolare sulle montagne scozzesi. Tra cinque settimane lasceremo la Scozia per le nostre amate Dolomiti 😍Cari abbracci da parte nostra e un bacio da Meg 🤗🤗🐶😘

Just had to share this fleeting moment Cindy. A couple of days later many of the leaves had fallen. Winter is on the way. Thanks for watching and for your kind comment 🤗🐶

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment. A quick Google search brings up Ailsa Craig salad tomato but I can't find any references to seed potatoes. I suppose it's possible that when the lighthouse was manned, the crew grew their own potatoes on the flat ground adjacent to the lighthouse but that's only a guess.

Hi Mary! Yes, we got lucky last week with the weather and the colours. I guess the leaves will be falling soon 🍂🍂 🤗

Hi Avril, couldn't keep them all to myself 🤗

Thanks Steve. Aye, wee Meg is doing well ☺

Hi June! Thank you for your kind words. Winter isn't far away now and I hope we'll see you on some snowy adventures in Japan 🤗🐶😘

Thank you, pleased you enjoyed it 🙋‍♂

Aye, we're lucky we're here at the moment. I don't think the leaves will be on the trees much longer. All the best Kev 🙋‍♂🐶

and we've snow down to 800m at the moment. Mind you, it's forecast to get warmer next week 🤗

Thanks Simon. All the best mate 🙋‍♂🐶

Thank you Dave. I just felt I had to share this and I'm pleased you enjoyed it. ATB 🙋‍♂🐶

Cheers Arnstein 🙋‍♂🐶Have a great week

Grazie cara Roberta. Ti auguriamo una buona settimana 🙋‍♂🐶😘😘

Thanks Matt ☺No, Meg has a really thick double coat and her skin doesn't even get wet!

Thanks Kev 👍👍A very under-rated part of Scotland and my 'go to' area when the Arran ferry is unreliable, which has been quite a lot lately 😖

Sure, there's nothing to stop you swimming in the lochs. They won't be polluted but I've seen algae on some of them which may not be particularly good for you.

Hi Sue! Aye, it's a lovely area and only 1.5 hours from home. We're in Aviemore for the week with snow forecast for tomorrow/Thursday. We binned the Assynt trip due to the weather but managed a couple of good hikes in the Gorms Sunday and Monday. Catching up on YT stuff now and I'll get to your latest next. 🤗🤗

Grazie cara Helga ☺Sono felice che ti sia piaciuto il video e ci vediamo a novembre 🤗🤗🐶😘

Thank you kindly Steve. You could maybe pop up for a night or two while you're in the Lakes. It's only about two and a half hours from Keswick to Glen Trool☺

I’ll take you up on that sometime Ian!

🤣🤣Not at all Matt! For me it's all about the views and having a good day out rather than clocking numbers 😄There are so many options for routes in Galloway that get you away from the honey pots like Merrick. I'm sure you'd enjoy the area. I'll be catching up on your travels later 🙋‍♂🐶

Cheers Simon! Aye, Galloway is definitely worth a visit, I'm sure you'd enjoy it. Best wishes to you and the family Ian and Meg 🙋‍♂🐶

Hi Dave! You're correct, we rarely see anyone else on our hikes down there once we're away from the car parks and forest walks. I'm catching up on my YT subscriptions today so I look forward to seeing your latest . All the best, Ian and Meg 🙋‍♂🐶

Thanks Dave 👍👍

Thanks Arnstein! Hope you're keeping well. Have a great week 🙋‍♂🐶

Thank you guys! You don't have to go far off the beaten track for solitude in Galloway. Just be careful on the path to the falls, it's a wee bit narrow and in poor condition. Have a great time when you go! 🙋‍♂🐶

Hi Clare! I would love to return to Orkney as well, it's a wonderful place. Thanks for watching and for your kind comment 🙋‍♂

Hi June! There are five small towns along the coast and they are linked by roads and footpaths. In the hills behind the coast there are small villages and we visited a couple of them but there are very few footpaths, only the roads. I'm happy this reminded you of the sea. 🤗🐶😘

Thank you Bart. It's a lovely piece of coastline 😊

Ciao cara Carla! Sì, ci siamo divertiti molto e sono felice che ti abbia fatto rivivere dei bei ricordi. Cordiali saluti a te e alla tua famiglia 🤗🤗🐶😘😘

Thanks Steve. I'm sure it was quieter when you went - it certainly couldn't have been any busier!

Cara Claudia, sono felice di sentirti e sono felice che ti sia piaciuto il video. Sì, è una costa incantevole ma anche molto affollata! Meg sta bene e si è goduta la sua vacanza nell'hotel per cani vicino a casa nostra. Cari saluti a te e alla tua famiglia e un bacio da Meg 🤗🤗🐶😘

Grazie Dario! Stiamo tutti bene e non vediamo l'ora di tornare sulle Dolomiti a novembre. Cordiali saluti da parte nostra 🤗🤗🐶😘

It was just what we needed Sue. Sea air, sun and warmth and the smell of herbs and jasmine. Worth putting up with the crowds for ☺

Thanks Dave. Aye, a lovely stretch of coast. The walks between the five towns were very busy so they don't make for interesting viewing. All being well our next adventure will be in the far northwest of Scotland in October. All the best. Ian and Meg 🙋‍♂🐶

Make sure you get an early start. From mid-morning onwards the paths are heaving with folk making for an unpleasant and frustrating walk.

@@IanTupmanOutdoors we heard as much before. I guess thats the problem with all "instagram worthy" places by now... When we went to Oeschinensee our second time, it was almost unbearable. Since the places become more famous, so many people come for their instagram pictures.

Cheers Matt! Yeah, from mid- morning the sections of path between the five towns were mobbed. Folk were at a standstill waiting for others to pass them....not my idea of a hike!

Cheers Simon. It was a lovely break from the Scottish summer. Best wishes to you and yours 🙋‍♂

Thank you Kev. A welcome break from the dire Scottish summer! I can highly recommend the Dolomites for a hiking holiday. We used to go every June/July to avoid the busy holiday period. If you want any recommends for accommodation let me know, we still go every winter and stay in the same places. All the best 🙋‍♂

Hi Graeme. Aye, it's a lovely route with so much to see along the way. Definitely needed an early start though!

Thanks Arnstein and the same to you 🙋‍♂

We'll definitely go back and do it again when the midges have disappeared 😁Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment 🙋‍♂🐶
