Travelling The Scotland Tourists Don't Go

  • I love exploring lesser discovered places and today I’ll be travelling the Scotland tourists don’t go. As most visitors to Scotland flock to the Highlands or The Isle of Skye, the Kintyre Peninsula located on Scotland’s west coast is a beautiful and much quieter alternative.
    Campbeltown in Kintyre, Scotland was once home to the whisky capital of the world and in this Scotland vlog I’ll be taking you on a road trip around the stunning The Kintyre Peninsula. I only found about the Kintyre 66 driving route after my trip, which I totally recommend if you do plan a visit.
    Some other highlights of my time on the Kintyre Peninsula, include a visit to Tarbert, the Skippness Seafood Cabin and the Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse. You'll probably recognise the Mull of Kintyre from that classic Paul McCartney song.
    Stay tuned for my next video where I’ll be visiting the community-owned Isle of Gigha - a one-of-a-kind spot in Argyll and Bute.

    WHO AM I?
    I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland. I moved overseas in 2011 and I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in my home country Scotland and I’ve never even visited places like the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Skye or the NC500.
    I am a huge fan of campervan travel and alternative living and while living in Japan, my partner and I converted both a van and a bus into campervans. We explored Japan extensively, sharing our adventures on our two Japanese language TH-cam channels. I've spent over 600 nights living in vans, it’s my favourite way to travel due to the incredible freedom, adventure and the affordability.
    My campervan is a 2001 Toyota Hiace high roof van. It was originally used by the Royal Mail and then purchased by the previous owner and self-converted into a DIY campervan. Although the van is already converted, in order for it to be an off-grid living van, it requires some campervan DIY, especially when it comes to electrics and plumbing.
    On this channel, I’ll be sharing more about this van, any DIY I do, and most importantly sharing my road trip adventures as I finally get to travel my beautiful home country of…. SCOTLAND!

    Great video. The shopping you bought from Tesco's struck me as being a bit pricey, you just seemed to get a few basic items. I do like their unsweetened almond drink, which was in the clip. They have just announced record profits, and the prices just seem to keep increasing , so I signed a petition calling on them to reduce them a bit, instead of all the money going into the pockets of a few people at the top! All best wishes. ❤

    Fun fact - there are 13 places called “Tarbet” (or various spellings of that name) in Scotland and all of them are at a low lying isthmus between two bodies of water. Because the name derives from the Gaelic words for “carry across” - so “carry (the boat) across (here)”.

      @@ruthaisling During the period when the northern and western islands were ruled by the Norwegians they claimed the southern portion of Kintyre, as they could move a boat across the isthmus. So obviously it was an island not part of the mainland!
      It is a long drive down to Southend.

I’ve been to Campbeltown and to the Mull of Kintyre…I’ve stood at the lighthouse and was barely able to see the coast of Ireland …Definitely a highlight of my life..the drive was the most fun part though..This roads leading to the Mull have to be seen to be believed..a friend what was traveling with us had quite a time walking back up to the carpark…I look forward to returning there again. It’s very easy to see why Sir Paul chose such a remote place. I shall haste myself back to Scotland sooner rather than later 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    From that time, vistting Mull of Kintire is my deam. But 46 years has passed. It may no chance to vist for me. But I am very happy to watch your video. I could see Mull of Kintire through your

Sadly, it was being dismantled, but the two workers from the Lighthouse Service very kindly let me have a (free rein) look around. The Scottish lighthouse and their outbuildings are so special and the attention to detail is amazing. Thanks, Ruth, for showing us yet another great part of Scotland.

And you try to get a snapshot of life there. I thought you would have gone over to Davaar island which is in the Campbeltown bay. You can walk over to the island at low tide and there’s a cave with a painting of Jesus in it which has an interesting story behind it. Enjoy your time on Gigha 😊x

    Thanks for sharing this film. It brought back many memories for me as I lived and worked on the peninsula and left 20 years ago moving on to the Western Isles. I managed a Bank in Campbeltown and we had a Bank van which visited a few of the little villages surrounding Campbeltown offering banking services for locals so I know the area well. When I moved there my new neighbour described the area as the biggest cul-de-sac in Scotland I have just watched your film on Jura as well and sadly never made it over to Islay or Jura but I did visit Davaar and Arran where my Dads family originate from. I look forward to future content as I often described my Banking career as a world tour of Scotland so I hope you cover or have covered some more of the places I worked.

I was given some amazing opportunities due to the role I had the highlight being given a flight on The Stornoway Coastguard Helicopter and being roped out at !00 feet rather than landing and invites to fish & shoot in some amazing locations including Amhuinnsuidhe Castle on The Isle of Harris famed for it's Salmon & Sea Trout fishing and stunning location. .@@ruthaisling

We'll be back in Scotland in a couple of weeks and it will be a salmon and shellfish-filled holiday. :) Call me a nerd but I enjoyed hearing about the shop prices and laundry costs. We always check out the grocery stores when we travel (we usually AirBNB it so do some food shopping) to see the brands and the prices. We've been married 18 years and our weekly grocery bill has doubled. Inflation is everywhere.
