If you're considering doing this same hike, please ensure you have the correct equipment and are ready for all weather conditions. While I was lucky with sunny weather, remember that in Scotland, the weather can change quickly and conditions can turn dangerous. Knoydart is a very remote and isolated place and there is no phone network for the majority of the hike.
Ruth, on the subject of hiking equipment, in my part of the world, we insist on taking a hiking staff when going away from a well trodden path. You could twist an ankle or worst still, break a leg. In those cases, a staff with a good piece of thin rope can save your life in a remote location and provide assistance. Also, again in my location, a staff can ward off a snake or some suchlike.
Hi Ruth, I hope to visit Scotland as I have Scottish Blood, Italian and Irish! First, I want to go to Italy then Greece, then Scotland. I am looking into living in both places or all three!! If anyone has leads on affordable rentals by beach, share please. Thanks!!
One of the pleasures of Ruth's videos is that she doesn't pretend to be some infallible travel expert. If she steps in a bog, or worries about deer, or has trouble with her cooker, it's all included.
What you were looking at, 23.51 on the video, they are dollop mounds created by a 360 ° digger (usually), it is ground preparation for planting tree seedlings, the seedling is planted on the dollop, it gives the seedling a chance to establish before the grass, bracken or rushes choke the young tree out. Great videos Ruth, thank you.
Deer will attack people. It is very rare. It almost always happens during the rut and almost always when people get too close to the bucks during the rut. Give them space during the rut and you won’t be bothered. I have the original Jet Boil and love it for heating water and have used it a couple of times for a stew. It will hold the propane can, burner assembly, and the stand The smaller one does seem to have a packing issue. I use freeze dried food packs for the back country. Having said all that. This was a fantastic video. I really enjoyed the scenery and your commentary. Beautiful places.
I did this walk with my Fell Terrier about 20 years ago. The bothy was much more basic in those days. Met some guys there who were climbing the local hills, other than that did not see any one on the trail. The first day was good weather, the second day it was very wet. Walked to the pub and had a beer before getting on boat back to Mallaig. I certainly recognise parts of the trail - it was a good trip down memory land.
As a boy I was always told to filter water before drinking it. My science teacher’s brother died after drinking water from a stream. Upon investigating the cause, a dead sheep was found up stream from where he drank. When I saw Ruth drink the water I thought about that, then when she showed us the dead deer later, it just reinforced the point. You can get bottles with filters, definitely better to be safe. Besides the gloom, I never knew about this place-I wonder if a mountain bike can get along that path? If you can catch the weather this would be perfect.
What a stunningly beautiful trek! You earned your rest in Inverie. I hope the rest of your hike is just as lovely; I can hardly wait to see. This is quite an experience ... Go Ruth!
@@ruthaisling I must say , I thought what a major rookie mistake. But improvising with chopsticks is an equally major win so that cancels it out in my book. Carrying travel spoons and forks and knifes seems like a serious basic for proper hikers and walkers so I'm sure they would sell stuff like that at the next large -ish settlement or town you pass Ruth.
I so love, and look forward to, your episodes! You are a stellar ambassador to Scotland my friend! Seeing your homeland from your perspective is enlightening and beautiful...Thank you!
Hello from the states. Another beautiful journey through the Scottish countryside. Can't wait to see it in person. You are a perfect tour guide 😊Best wishes.
Beautiful scenery, and another great episode. Make sure you use a filter if you’re going to drink from the streams. That dead deer is a prime example of why you should never drink straight from a stream. You don’t know what’s just up stream from you, and it could put you in hospital, or worse!
What an incredible journey to mainland Britain's most remote village! The Knoydart Peninsula looks absolutely stunning, and your 15-mile solo hike from Kinloch Hourn to Inverie sounds like an unforgettable adventure. The scenery and the sense of isolation are truly captivating. Thanks for sharing this amazing trek and all the detailed information. I can't wait to see more of your adventures in Scotland! Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad
The "Cape Wrath Trail" isn't a fixed route. If you asked half a dozen walkers what the route is, you might get half a dozen different answers. There are at least two guide books on the walk. The point to remember is that the further North you go, the more remote from habitation, shops, public transport etc. Enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Hi Ruth I’ve just popped in to say hello quickly. I’m just due the medication round in about 10 minutes then I can settle down and watch your vlog/video ~ I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend and I hope you have a great week. Sending loads of love and hugs.~ Xxx Xxx
A moose, you call them elk in Europe, are enormous deer and will attack people. They are extremely irritable and formidable but you don't have any. Smaller deer occasionally injure someone, but it's usually sort of accidental.
wow what a wonderful walk a few yearsago i did the west highland way it took me a week but it was so worth it thank you for taking us along take care and stay safe 👍👍❤
Such glorious views. I love remote places, the peace and quiet and being away from over populated cities. Great camera work as well. I don't know if I could stay in a bothy with no fireplace, even in summer, I imagine it can have some chilly nights.
Hello from New England Ruth, you were so cute wondering about deer attacks. A buck [with the antlers] might chase you if he thought you to be threatening, but deer are gentle creatures. That cow that you thought seemed aggressive in another video, was probably thinking that you had a treat. I was once surrounded by a flock of sheep where I lived in the Appalachian hills of SW Virginia, but they'd smelled the bucket of alfalfa pellets I was bringing to my rabbits. They got a few nibbles but didn't manage to knock me over. I love your travel videos Ruth. My Irish American wife & I spent our October 2000 honeymoon in Eire & were stunned by the beauty of the island & its inhabitants. We will someday travel to the territory of Scotland with your videos as our guide, Thank you for all your efforts!
Hi Ruth Your videos are obviously aimed at an international audience and as such are excellent adverts for the beauty of Scotland. I have walked and climbed all over this beautiful country for almost 50 years but must confess to not having yet walked from Kinlochhourn to Barrisadale. I have however been to Inverie and the Knoydart area by boat on several occasions. You were lucky with the weather and I would advise anyone attempting this walk to take the proper equipment. There are plenty of videos reviewing suitable equipment. The jetboil stash is an expensive bit of kit but does what it says on the tin. Not sure why you had issues with it. I have drunk water from mountain streams for years with no ill effects up until a couple of years ago when I picked up a severe case of cryptosporidium. There are many water filters available although TBH high in the mountains the water is pretty clean. Deer are very unlikely to attack you highland cattle with young calves are a more likely threat. Also despite use of GPS and various apps it is advisable to have a detailed map and compass and know how to use them. Finally there are plenty of dehydrated meals available which are very light to carry any good outdoor store will have a range of them to buy.
Great adventure and content and narration superb as always Ruth 🫶🏻 You are correct it is deer fencing to stop them eating new trees. Sometimes using a repellent in areas now aswell as it saves continuously having to replace the trees with those methods. And the ‘Burroughs’ (heehee 😅) are mounds for the new trees to be planted on. Sometimes known as restock sites and replacing dead or eaten trees is often called a beat up. Thanks for sharing another great video on your amazing journey 🙏🏻
Another beautiful video of the Scottish countryside and a much better Bothy experience for you.....wishing I was my younger and fitter self to be able to enjoy a hike ....hope you have a great week ahead Ruth x
Such stunning scenery and you were lucky with the weather! Really enjoyed this video. It was a real tonic for the soul as I took a quick work break. :)
Absolutely brilliant video, love watching all of your videos on TH-cam. So easy and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the amazing work Ruth. And please keep bringing the videos !!!!! Watching over in Ireland 🇮🇪, Mark.
Love this video Ruth! I watched it on the big screen so I could really enjoy those beautiful views! That hike was amazing! It’s a lot of funny to meet people from other countries. I’m sure you enjoy your conversations with them. Looking forward to the next one! Keep up the great work! ❤
Well done Ruth, good job, great hike, beautiful scenery, I'll look forward to next week and Inverie, I was there a few years ago by boat from Mallaig to visit The Old Forge pub ❤
Ruth: Your adventuresome nature surpasses anything I could ever imagine you would do. You make life exciting. Thank you and I don't know why I even say this to you, Be safe.
Ruth hello for long time I ignored your channel, don't ask me why, my loss. Until a few months ago when you came home to Scotland I am ahillwalker climber of more than 40 years, mostly in Scotland All those years mean I need 2 new hips so I don't get to hills at present. Channel's like yours, so varied as they are, help me relive a myriad memories so thanks so much. Your knoydart walk brought back so many memories and I'm so glad you also enjoy Scotch malts, another that your country has given this old English an. I came to Scotland in 1975 and never went back Thanks again and keep it going
Another wonderfully serene hike Ruth, and beautiful scenery. Hard to believe that Scotland was once covered with trees. They disappeared through history for various reasons., mainly for agriculture and the latest swath was the Highland Clearances (1750 - 1860). During that time, wealthy land owners (mainly English) cleared lands for sheep grazing, fueling the wool industry and profits during the rise of the industrial revolution. Deer are always a problem, as they love to eat young trees and their 'shoots,' and no, they don't attack people unless you try to restrain or corner them!
I live in Colorado, US and there were 3 bull elk attacks on pedestrians in the town of Estes Park this month. It is rutting season so they can be aggressive. The State Wildlife Agency is issuing warnings for people to stay as far as possible from wildlife, which I'm sure is common sense to most. Take good care and thank you for sharing your journey.
As regards our deer species. There is very little possibility of a person being attacked, except in the rutting season, where people have been attacked by Red Deer stags. Most attacks have been in enclosed areas. The Red Deer rutting season is Sept-Nov, and unless you approach a rutting stag or the area where they are rutting, there's very little chance of attack. Having said that, outside the rutting I have had Red Deer stags turn, face me and stare at me, when I've taken them by surprise, but each time, it has just been a bluff. There is next to no chance of being randomly attacked.
Fabulous walk with beautiful views. I must admit I couldn’t do that alone as I would be too scared that I would get injured and stranded. Well done Ruth.
I was so glad when i saw you had put up your new video! It was such a treat with all of the beautiful scenery and water along the way. I just love your videos and your enthusiasm. Will be looking forward to the next one!!😊
What a great part of the world you live in …with all these opportunities to get out into nature and explore. I don’t know if you carry a water purifier because you didn’t show it when you drank from the mountain stream, but the deer carcass you saw in the river is the reason why you must use one…be safe Miss Ruth.

What you were looking at, 23.51 on the video, they are dollop mounds created by a 360 ° digger (usually), it is ground preparation for planting tree seedlings, the seedling is planted on the dollop, it gives the seedling a chance to establish before the grass, bracken or rushes choke the young tree out.

Yup, it doesn't go via knoydart though, just the rough bounds, which explains why Ruth didn't encounter any walkers along the last stretch.
Good to know, thanks for sharing. I'd love to do it sometime!

Welcome aboard! Thanks for your support and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Thumbs up from me Ruth... Happy Trips, Steve.
