Hi I'm Rachel!
For the last 3 years I have been doing a full renovation on an old croft house as a complete rookie on the Isle of Skye Scotland!
When I'm not working on the house I run my own business and founded a community empowering women on their journey into entrepreneurship in order to facilitate lives close to nature!
I love spending my time frolicking around the Scottish Highlands doing pretty much anything in the outdoors with my little cocker spaniel Reggie, whether thats walking, camping, trail running, swimming, just having brews in nice places or exploring in my Defender Dora!
With this channel I not only want to document my travels, adventures and house renovations but also to document what I learn along the way to show that freedom isn't something for 'other people' but also to show the highs and lows that come along for the ride!
To see more give me a follow on Instagram @_RachelMontgomery.
I hope you enjoy following along!

A stunning 3 day trip around Killin picking off 6 more munros: Day 1: Beinn Dorain & Beinn an Dothaidh Day 2: Ben More & Stob Binnein Day 3: Ben Vorlich & Stuc a’ Chorin We got so lucky with the weather with the first 2 days of perfect conditions crisp and cold but completely clear and sunny, and the 3rd day although we had no views at all there was very little wind so really can't complain! 6 ...
West Coast of Scotland Road Trip, Part 2 November 2023
มุมมอง 92ปีที่แล้ว
I am now back on Skye after a lovely time away travelling about the west coast for just under a week! Me and Reggie wild camped in different spots each night from close to home all the way up towards Ullapool. We stayed on beaches, by lochs, and a few other spots in between! We were very grateful for how beautiful the weather was most of the week and we managed to have breakfast on the beach al...
West Coast Roadtrip
มุมมอง 64ปีที่แล้ว
A montage of the first few days of mine and Reggie's little road trip hammocking and camping around the west coast of Scotland! There's no real plan of where we are headed or for how long, just enough time to clear our heads, be present and explore whilst places are quiet!
A fireside natter sounds great. Oh to be forty years younger and know what I know now. And to have been encouraged more in my interests and hobbies. Regrets are pointless but if you help one person fulfill a dream you have done a great thing. I was again thinking of the chorus in The Battle of the Beanfield by The Levellers, while listening to you. Will be tuning in each time you post.😊
Hello! You are on an island and I can't see the sea. What have you done with it? Did you turn it all into snow? In any case it gives a cozy atmosphere. Thanks for the wood fire and the walk in the snow. Thanks for the joy of the dog. Sorry for the style, I'm learning English. When you talked about entrepreneurship, was it about your house? But you are right, you must first dream seriously and then be carried away by your dream
My lover and I had always dreamed of knowing the Hebrides Islands and particularly Skye. Her name was Veda. Now I'm too old and my lover is no longer in this world so I was very happy to see you with your dog and also taking a swim in the sea. Snapshots of life. THANKS.
Hi Rachel, it is good seeing the progress on your house but I also enjoy the outdoorsy interludes. I stayed on Skye last year in the late Autumn and loved it. I can’t wait to revisit. More please, of it all.🙂
awh thank you so ,much for the kind words!! And honestly I think Autumn & winter are the best times to visit here, the colours are amazing and it's so much quieter!!
I’ve always had a dream of living on Skye…… by myself I’m not sure if I’d feel too alone, and also being older. House looks amazing already and what beautiful views.
It can be a lot at times, you do really have to be comfortable in your own company and put yourself out there to find your people but the people here are so lovely its a beautiful feeling of community!!
I assume your not doing all the DIY yourself 🙃. Place looks great. Love skye
maybe its insanity or crazy self belief but yep I am minus the electrics and plumbing! Becoming a fully fledged cowboy builder🤣
Just found you, love the microcement bathroom! Would love to try it in my little shed here in Southern Tasmania. Gorgeous spot. Well done ❤
@@natalieeiser6694 Awh thank you so much! You should try it for sure I was surprised at how doable it was I’d made it out in my head to be a really difficult thing but it’s really brightened up the room - I love it so much I’m going to do loads of the house with it! 😅
What a picturesque view 😍
Honestly I never get used to it!! It’s sooo stunning!!
I can so relate to the highs and lows, I renovated a house in rural France and just longed for a human to chat to. Keep your spirits up, it’ll be worth it
Thank you, thats so good to hear, its a strange one isn't it, such a rollercoaster you can be so proud of yourself and on cloud 9 one moment then overwhelmed the next, but I feel like the end is coming into sight now!
Such a beautiful and tranquil video, you are so blessed to be living on Skye 👌 On next year's Outer Hebridean cycling trip I'll be doing a circular by going through Skye, I'm so looking forward to the Skye section as it's been far too long since I was last there (hillwalking). Hopefully, having such glorious surroundings will help you through the hard times 🤞🙏 I myself use the outdoors and nature to help get through struggles, it's such a valuable commodity. All the best 🙂👍
Beautiful footage 🙂👍
Nicely filmed. Just subscribed. Sure more will follow. Best wishes on your next adventure.
Loved the pan off the schist on to the landscape.
Fantastic 👌
Love it! Such incredible places!!! You just make me really want to visit Scotland 😂
You have to visit that’s why! 😅😅 it’s absolutely stunning!
😂😂 I will!! 😊
@@FriedaSossi well I hope that you do, you'll not regret it! 👍
OMG! So wonderful! I really love this! Thank you so much!
No worries I'm glad you enjoyed it!
