- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2019
- Nicola and I head off for a relexing break to the Isle of Lismore. We catch the ferry from Oban to Achnacroish on Lismore. We stay at our friend's cottage for 2 days. During our stay we explore the island and visit Tirefour Castle, Castle Coeffin, the museum, cafe and a disued Quarry. We then catch the Port Appin ferry for a meal and drinks at the Peir House Hotel.

Absolutely brilliant
Thanks Jim. 😊
We were on the Island this week ourselves Robin and our third visit to this nice Island, Great film once again.
Chances, could have bumped into you. 😁
No way Robin, I would have noticed.
@@malcolmnash5850 we arrived on Friday, to Sunday. Small world eh.
Superb Robin. I bet them people on the cruise ship didn't experience that kind of peace. Lovely! Loads to see there as well as the friendliest chicken and sheep anywhere. I suspect Nicola is pleased you didn't climb in the end. All the best. Mark
Definitely not and I wouldn't have swapped for a place on that ship.
The friendly animals made Nicola's day. 😁 She hasn't seen the footage that didn't make the cut. 😏 Just kidding, I didn't climb anything.
Cheers
Robin
@@WalkWithWallace I thought you favor the hills Robin.
@@WyeExplorer I do usually. 😁
Good video Robin. Really enjoyed watching. Thanks Steve.
Cheers Steve, btw seeing Kerrera from the ferry, it definitely looks a great island for exploring too.
@@WalkWithWallace Thanks. Yes its very much worth a visit and wild camp. Steve.
@@stevesdaysoff2759 its on the ever growing to do list
Looks idyllic, thanks for showing us around 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Anthony. 😊
Another great video thank you for sharing nice accomodation beautiful location
Thanks Ian. 😁
To late, to late, will be the cry 😀 about the scones) anyway l have thurly enjoyed your video, l have been there many years ago with my Uncle, which was very enjoyable.
Cheers John. It's a fine little island 🏝. 😁
Great video!
Thank you.
It’s such a nice place I went on holiday there back in July
It's very chilled out isn't it. 😁
nice a wooden seat for the throne, that warms up nicely. always a hood sign in accommodations. always good to have a phone box around, so Superman can change his clothes.
It’s a lovely island that doesn’t suffer from the motorhomes influx.
thats good ma. you not a fan of the van lifers? r just for some of the places.
@@peterq1978 to be fair, we had a van back in the day alas there’s just too many now.
the only issue is, if the parking spaces get filled up by them, thats not great, have to reassess the day.
@@peterq1978 councils have just been caught on the back-foot and not put the infrastructure in.
Nice vid Robin, theres so many places to visit along that west coast. Lismore looks amazing...shame about those cakes mind 😊...thanks for sharing, atb Dave
Cheers Dave. 😁
Aye, gutted we missed the cakes. 😂
That ship is huge.
Nice accomodation.
Nice castle location.
2nd castle was a wee bit small. Nice views though.
And then you visted the Witches cottage............ Sorry I meant the museum.
Nice quarry buildings and houses.
Climb in the well.
And I want CAKE!
Thanks for watching Eggnog. 😁
Nice video Robin , looks like a beautiful place to visit . That quarry looked a bit dangerous mind with those open pits !! A no climbing warning off the boss lol . atb Dave...
Cheers Dave, the boss was only worried we'd miss the ferry for our meal. 😅
Excellent trip Robin. Glad you both enjoyed it. Some lovely views and historic places of interest. Those pits in the quarry looked like could claim a few victims. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Paul, it's a braw wee island to explore.
Great video guys,the house you stayed in, Rowantree is the house i lived in on Lismore for 3 years from 2012! lovely to see the island again !
Ps i was gutted to see the garden like that ! I had it looking like Hampden!
Wow, small world. Did you own it, if so did you sell it to my friend I wonder?
@@WalkWithWallace Hi we rented it off a lady who then sold it i think to your friend. Very happy memories at Rowantree,i had the gardens looking beautiful with all the verges cut and flowers everywhere.Gutted to see the lawn.I also looked after Carnie next door with the red roof.
Does your friend now own it and rent it out ?
@@chrisfreeman2017 that's mental, did you just stumble across this video on a search? To Mark's defence he visited after us and sorted the garden. 😂
Great video! I visited the Isle back during the first week of August. Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks Jordan, it's a bit of a hidden gem isn't it.
Cool video! I knew about this island as my house is a "Lismore". Looks mint!
Thanks Mark. It seems to be an overlooked island, which is a pity as its really nice. 😁
This place looks amazing! We must visit! That drink you had looked delicious. Thank you for taking us with you :)
Thanks ETH, the latte was perfect. ☕
Great video and footage very nice indeed thanks for sharing cheers 🇬🇧
Cheers Rod. 👍🏼
Looks like a really nice place and that cottage you stayed in was awesome. Thanks for sharing. Atb Shaun
Cheers Shaun, aye the wee cottage was fab, nice base for exploring. Still prefer a wild camp though. 😉
Mackerel for dinner? great video mate
Haha, that's wild camping food. 😁
I saw that cruise ship when we were passing through Fort William at the weekend. It's huge! Nice video. I haven't been to Lismore, but my sister and brother-in-law stay there sometimes. They love it. It looks different to what I'd expected - I thought it would be bleaker.
Some size of a ship isn't it.
It's a really chilled island, I can see why they love it. 😁
Cheers
Robin
Great wee video, enjoyed watching! 😊
Nice one guys. Looked a great weekend. 👍
Certainly was Kev. 👍🏼
Only been to Oban once and it never stopped raining, so never got a good impression of it. Nice to get a ferry over to the Isle of Lismore and a canny place to stay, made even better with that great fire. Friendly wildlife there mind and you got lucky with the weather, looks like you had a good time, cheers Alan
Aye, it's a bit like Fort William where it can be a bit depressing in the rain.
We nailed the weather to be honest, was meant to be really rainy. Cheers for watching Alan.
Was at Port Appin a couple of weeks ago and was going to get the foot ferry across but the weather was lousy so we decided to carry on up the coast. So was good to see 'what we coulda won' 😃Cheers
Haha, well hopefully you'll head back another time. If you do take bikes if possible. 😊
@@WalkWithWallace we'd done a camp just near Crinnan on the way up to Glen Nevis. Had my partner with me so didnt want to put her off for life! Beautiful part of the world, we shall return.
@@gainesy_walks has she got the camping bug?
@@WalkWithWallace not to the degree I do it but she definitely enjoyed it. It was the first time for her and she asked to try so thought a fairly low level coast job would be good. Went to the forest just above Crinnan overlooking Jura. Not bad for a first one lol. We were in pods in Glen Nevis for a few days then a got out for a few walks. She'd never been to the west side of Scotland before so thought this was the best place to start. She did the Ben to be fair, not a serious walker and did Brill. I'm from Yorkshire so have to make do with the Dales and Peak District most weekends. Great but not in the same class as the Highlands. Just stunning.
@@gainesy_walks the west coast is amazing. Glad she had a good time. I like the Peak District, it was a bit misty when I was up Kinder, will go back as I have relatives down there.
Congratulations on 1000 subs you really deserve it! The work that goes into your Vlogs is amazing!! This is such a lovely video looks so beautiful 😍
Cheers sis, you keep up the good work too. 😊 x
A pleasure to watch Robin, Never heard of this wee Island before, love it around Oban, looks like to got the weather too, even if you missed the cakes lol (Yeah I know) classic :) Tim/Mandy
Cheers Tim and Mandy. You're the second person to mention cakes. 😂
Great film Robin! I found Port Appin by mistake years ago when i was out on a drive with my Dad. An amazing out of the way place just to sit and daydream. This was well before my Munro Bagging days, So i didnt really know about these wee out of the way places. Lismore is a bit of a surprise, I thought it was just an isle with nothing much on it. Need to get over one day i think ;) Thanks for this eye opener mate, Really enjoyed the film big man, peter.
Cheers Peter, Port Appin is a wee gem. We discovered Lismore when we got an Itison deal for the Peir House Hotel, hired bikes and took them over for a couple of hours. So it was good to go back for a proper explore.
Nice one Robin. First thing that popped into my head when i saw those big holes was the "This is sparta" scene from 300 lol 🤣 Great video man. Cheers, Kris.
It's been a long time since I've seen that film, so just watched a clip. I see what you mean. 😂 Missed a trick there.
Excellent thank you for sharing this trip with us, I have always wanted to visit Lismore and this has made me want to go even more. Nice filming Robin I really enjoyed this and I loved the friendly cockerel & sheep they were so cute . Atb :D Teddy
Thank you Teddy. 😊
The cockerel & sheep made Nicola's day. The both ran up and approached her. Hopefully you can convince your partner to sail on the Port Appin ferry. 😁
Cheers
Robin
I can imagine they did , I would have been so happy too :D I will be playing this video tonight after our tea and hopefully it may help me out on that one ;D Cheers
@@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear hehe, it's a short crossing anyway with good food and drink at the other side. Dangle that carrot. 😁
Nice one! Looked like a chilled out place to visit! I see you were under orders by the misses not to do any climbing should have turned the camera off and got one in!! ;-)
What happened when I stopped recording is between me and myself. 😏
Superb Robin. I knew nothing about Lismore until now. In a technical note, your videos are getting better and better. Nice music transitions on this one.
Thanks Stewart, I appreciate that as I have been doing a lot of research into filming techniques. 😊
All great fun isn’t it. I’m a bit geeky myself. Especially with music production but I find that filming takes a lot away from the actual walking experience. These days I’d much rather get on with the walk and take a few phone snaps to document the day out and present them to friends and family on Facebook. I have some great photography gear but I find it just too cumbersome to carry, set up and use. The two hobbies don’t go well together to be honest. People do tend to notice when I’ve used the dslr though so I really must start using it.
@@smujiodome it's the one reason why I will most likely not get a drone. I feel personally I've struck the right balance where the filming doesn't intrude on my own personal experience, I fear a drone would be too much hassle. The GoPro I purchased in November was a worthwhile investment though.
DSLR's are so bulky, you can still get really nice shots with a phone though, just lack a bit of depth at times and useless for wildlife. 🤔
Walk With Wallace 👣 I’ve yet to see past the novelty of drone footage to be honest. It adds another 10% for me. Nothing more and of course they can be over used. I think you have it just about right as you are. Perhaps you might find satisfaction in getting more slick than getting more technical. The old “less is more” thing.
@@smujiodome if used right, they produce beautiful footage. Plenty TH-camrs use them well, but it's not additional weight I'd want to carry, like on our Fisherfield trip a few weeks ago.
It looks amazing and thanks for the video but closed captioning is insane trying to deal with your accent. When it got to "Thai Food Castle" I lost it. I can't stop laughing. Great video though.
Haha, yeah if Google struggles recognising my accent for the captions. What hope have I got. 😆
Where are you from yourself?
@@WalkWithWallace It's funny, I understand your accent perfectly. I'm from Houston, Texas so I have the same problem :)
@@kateg7298 phew, that's good to know. 😁
Hope all is good in Texas.
@@WalkWithWallace Yes sir, it is and I hope that you and yours are doing well. Please keep making wonderful videos. I appreciate you taking the time.
@@kateg7298 all good here too and thanks for dropping in. 😊
Would it be a good place with one's wife?
Depends if she is into exploring nice quiet islands. It's a lovely island. 😁 👍🏻
@1:50 posh bothy mate
Absolutely. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace watched the video where you was at a bothy with Ray that looked like a great night you guys had
@@ScottishWanderer that was an absolute hoot mate. First time I've met both Ray and Terry, sound lads.
Your neighbours looked a bit stiff.
😂 Their Gaelic was impeccable though.
