Hi from Edinburgh. Much recognition for your BBC standard cinematography and sensitive narration that captured the exotic nostalgic scenary of a Scottish isle. The sea, landscape and weather made me think of some moon in a scifi movie. Good work.
AH this is an outstanding video Murray, absolutely breathtaking. I don't have the ability to do this right now, but Skye stole my heart the first time I went there, and I go back and do mini ventures into her wilds often. To produce the videos you make, while doing this walk and climbing hills and battling the ever changing weather really is something special. Superb, can't wait for the next part! Thank-you! ❤️
Ha - I was starting to get a little worried - but was he still there the following morning!! ;) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Murray I don't know how you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers on TH-cam your content is fantastic cant wait to see the second part of this. Have a great Christmas and New Year Slanj
Enjoyed that Murray. Ironically when we did the Trotternish Ridge it was windy too, had to drop off the ridge to find somewhere sheltered to pitch. Hope the knee holds out for part 2. 😁👍🏻
Hi Murray, head phones on large coffee big bag sweets and off i went at last got to watch part one , what a mystical magical stunning place to hike , so beautiful best place on earth , love every minute second of the hike ,wishing i was there , we are so lucky over here to have such stunning scenery, even the weather made the hike more exciting, thankyou so much for taken us along with you , i cant wait to settle in for part 2 , x
Skye is such an amazing place Richard - I already cannot wait to return :) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
You put some miles in! My husband (@Hunt on the Trails) and I reached Sligachan mid afternoon on day 4 and we weren’t hanging about! We learned our lesson about walking on Tarmac in boots on the Coast to Coast in 2020. Agony. We’ve walked in trail shoes ever since except in winter and foot pain is a thing of the past. Really enjoyed the video - nice to see the trail from a different perspective.
I knew this would be worth waiting to find the time to watch this properly! Very much looking forward to part 2. PS Hearing all those words that you only hear in Scotland makes me smile. :-)
Got the xmas nibbles out for this one. Starting watching this video and it felt familiar, it was'nt until 40 minutes in i realised you had Heaton as a companion, saw his vlog on his channel. What a trek with those early winds. Good going Murray
If only I could - think I would need about 100 times higher views to be able to do that - in meantime I'll have to make do with fitting these adventures in on my annual leave lol (just back from a Knoydart adventure which I did on my first few days of Xmas Holidays :) - so glad I have an understanding wife aka the boss;) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Ever since my first visit there in 1994 I have always thought of Skye as my favourite place on the planet. Unusually I have mostly been blessed with great weather whenever I have visited too. Great idea for an adventure Murray. Terrific !
Skye has to be one of the most beautiful places on the planet (I may be slightly biased though ;)lol Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Half way through watching it. That camp spot on the second night on the east side of the island overlooking the water, Rassay and the mainland looks absolutely phenomonal. It has to be one of the best camp spots I've seen in your videos!
Hope you enjoyed it Rory - yeah that camp spot wasn't too shabby :) - although IMHO the best camp spot is coming up in part 2 :) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
You broke the magical 1 hour Murray and what a fantastic time to do it and what a special place to give us such a marvellous video. Absolutely loved watching this and was definitely worthy of the big TV. Thanks for sharing and for all the other videos this year. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Thanks Tony - definitely better on the big Tele ;) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Hullo from Derbyshire in England We have always followed and enjoyed your videos .. mainly because our hearts are in Scotland . I am a Wildlife photographer and love walking spending a lot of time in the Highlands and Islands .. even St Kilda . Thank you .. you keep us going until we can return to Scotland .. hopefully Isle of Mull in March .. best wishes to you and your family for 2022 .. stay healthy and safe . Chris & June
Has been my favourite place since the early 80s, guided then by the WA Poucher “Magic of Skye” book. Things have changed on the island, but not its beauty or the emotion I feel when there. Thanks again for sharing 🙂
You certainly pulled out the stops on this one. One of our favourite places too and why we stay in Torrin every year. Well worth the cuppa and biscuits.... and chocolate 😊
Hope you enjoyed it :) I preferred part 2 - but you'll not have seen that one yet !!lol hope you can catch it next week :) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
All my Christmases coming together lol what an EPIC and humorous vlog not only with Murray but with Legend Vlogger Thomas also :) ...

Hi Murray, great opening drone shots, you've been working hard. I saw Tom's video a while ago and knew your's would be coming along in good time. It was well worth the wait.
One of my favourite places too. On the scarp near Ben Edra had lovely encounter with a Golden Eagle showing off - he flew level with me along the cliff , only about 40 ft away, turned his head to look at me, then closed his wings for a plunge down, then back up again ! Was at the southern part of the trail, Armadale up to Talisker last June Bikepacking - beautiful scenery. Great video Murray, look forward to the second half, especially Loch Eishort area. All best.
The Loch Eishort part in next weeks video is , well, erm , interesting - lets just leave it at that ;) lol Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
The drone shots are beautiful The wind..my goodness..no bugs…. but your tent is beating you up at night! Stunning landscape , I can’t get over how much you’ve hiked. A nice night in the camper , you both looked drained Looking forward to part 2 Take care 🇨🇦 🎄 ❤️
Wow if ever anyone needs inspiration just watch your videos I’m almost seventy and and have been planning a fishing trip to Skye but fancy doing a small part around Portree, the scenery and the solitude is just awe inspiring, thanks to you both. 👏 👏
Skye is one of the most beautiful places on earth :) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
did the Skye trail ultra race back in May 2018, started at 5am from Duntulm telephone box, weather was fab and got to see the Trotternish ridge in all its magnificent glory. have never had as big blisters, but was worth it. Your latest vlog brought back lovely memories 😊. there are a couple of springs on the ridge which were a godsend on the warm sunny day we had. thanks Murray for your latest offering!
Hi Susan - bet your time was a little less than ours ;)lol an amazing place and the Skye trail has to be one of the best in Scotland if not the UK :) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Just watched this while sitting in a house in the West Midlands, as Storm Eunice passes over and loved every second of it. The wife and myself have been quite well travelled, but the place we always look forward to going back to, is Skye, love the island, love the people and even love the weather !, thanks for the vlog and looking forward to watching part two
An hour or so?... Was that all, it flew by. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks for taking the time to film your adventure, and taking us along with you.
I did South to North 10 years ago, a great trip, a magical place, I got married in Portree in October, it never leaves you, great video Murray, it's made my year!!
Thank you ❤️ No eyes are dry. This magical island is just... No words. Very emotional. One of the best experiences on our trip to bonnie Scotland in 2019. Stay safe and Happy new year 🙏🎉
Ohhh lovely! Absolutely beautiful...as always Murray! 😊 Sharing...Oklahoma, USA Loves Y'all! I hadn't had time to watch ya in a while...but I come an watch as soon as I have time..just lovely! Merry Christmas..😊

I delayed until Christmas day to watch this, thank you Murray and Tom probably one of my favourite presents, you both have a Great Christmas you deserve it, and the delight on my face just now is because of those final lines "to be continued" Woo Hoo bring on part 2.
i love your videos mate, especially with camasunari beach. i went there camping as a young lad and it brought back many memories, your videos have inspired me to get out and take in the scenery of the uk. theres more to weekends than just clubbing.
Fantastic. As a long time lover of Skye I haven't been able to visit since 2019 so it's great to see it and remind myself of great days out there (I kept saying, "been there"). Seing some of the places less visited was brilliant. Now I'm looking forward to the next part.
Awesome Murray. I don't know Skye yet but I am glad to have gone on this trip with you. Good job you remembered your coffee! Look forward to seeing the rest of your escapade! A merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Janet - not sure I'd have got through one day if I had left the coffee on this one ;) lol Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Beautifully presented Murray!! I soooo want to get back there. When you made it to Slig, I could literally taste the venison stew my wife and I had when last there. 🍲🍺🥰. Next time in Portree stop at Isle of Skye Baking Company for some trail-ready "calories". 🤣
Excellent effort gents. Perfectly documented as usual Murray. I've had the Skye trail in my sights for quite a while - hopefully this coming year. Thanks for sharing. 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾⛺😎
Hope you get to do it, its an amazing trail :) Hope you can catch part 2 next week :) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Nice one lads. 👍 Hope u had a good crimbo & new year Murray. Some camp spot on night 2 👌 Always fancied doing the Skye Trail. It's finding the time. Hope yis had a pint or twa at the end 😉🍻
Thanks Kevin - it was a fine spot for a camp :) Absolutely with you on the time part - this was my summer hols this year (well the one week I am allowed to go and roam ;) - maybe back to normal weeks away next year - travel restrictions dependent!!). Pints were enjoyed by Tom , orange juice for me as was in van :( lol. Hope you and yours had a great Christmas and Happy New Year to you sir :) Take care M
A very enjoyable hours viewing. That wind was brutal by the looks of it. Thanks for sharing the adventures throughout the year. Have a great Christmas Martin
Twas a tad windy for High Pressure being in charge (apparently ;)lol Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Perfect, got you on 65 inch tv with 4k and UHD. Brilliant scenery and amazing shots as you progress through the trip. Will be trying this ourselves this year if covid lets us. Cheers for sharing
Wow super video Murray, l really enjoyed it. Great to see Tom l watch his Channel too, smashing photographer as well as yourself, of course 🙂 Cant wait to get back to Skye after cancelling the last two trips. Looking forward the next bit of the trip. Thanks Murray, take care Alioban x
Thanks Alioban - hope you get back to Skye - third time luck and all that Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Another Epic adventure Murray you don't do anything by Half's. The Quirang is some feature as you say the biggest landslip in Great Britain. The views from the top were astounding especially in that wind. One good thing the wind kept those horrible midges at bay. Looking forward to part two. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year. All the Best and Stay Safe.
Excellent stuff Murray. The Trotternish is probably one of my favorite walks to date , we had the same problem with the wind on it. Good to see it again ..cheers Stevie
Lucky man indeed Robert - Skye is such a wonderful place and what an amazing place to live - not at all jealous ;)lol Thank you for you kind comment - hope you enjoyed the two videos of our journey across Skye :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
14 mins in and another beauty so far. Would holiday with the family growing up from 5 -15 yrs old on the other side of the water in mallaig/morar and visited 3 of the 4 small Isles(not canna) as well as skye of course. Stunning place, can't wait to visit again, its been a few years. Thanks for sharing ure trip.
Murray this and part two are such amazing and inspiring vlogs. We love the Isle of Skye and your journey from top to bottom has to be one your best yet. This is certainly one I'll be revisiting and watching for a long time to come. Highly enjoyable as always. Please don't stop what you're doing. All the best.
Perfect first sentence Murray, set to the most magical mountain place I have ever known too. Skye tourist board should owe you for decades! Stunning trip, thoughtfully presented for us all to share. Thanks
Another fabulous video You have a lot to answer for, as my list of things to do and places to see is getting longer !! Lol Just love sky What rucksack is it you used as I can’t see a name I need one that stays wide at the base and not narrows Anyway please keep these videos coming Fantastic to see more of sky
Tom seems like exactly the kind of company you’d want on one of these long hikes, cheery and always seeing the positives! I’m hoping to do the Skye trail early next year so thanks for the video Murray :)
1 hour long Scotland’s Mountains video in Skye. Merry Christmas Murray, thanks for the quality content you continue to put out. I’ll be back in Scotland next year to walk the West Highland Way. If I have time I may tackle curved ridge along the way.
Hope you have a great trip when you get back to Scotland :) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Fantastic scenery and vlog. Must be 25 year since I last visited Skye and Portree. After watching this , definitely need to get back. Looking forward to part two 👍
Cannot beat the scenery up in Skye IMHO - its such an amazing place :) Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Its an amazing place. I'll need to go back to The Quirang when the cloud is less and the midgies even less so!!lol Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Part 1 completed and straight in to Part 2 now 👍Great timing Murray in releasing these two videos at Christmas - wonderful viewing as I sit with my leg up while resting/stretching a sore heel. A wonderful watch 😊

You put some miles in! My husband (@Hunt on the Trails) and I reached Sligachan mid afternoon on day 4 and we weren’t hanging about! We learned our lesson about walking on Tarmac in boots on the Coast to Coast in 2020. Agony. We’ve walked in trail shoes ever since except in winter and foot pain is a thing of the past. Really enjoyed the video - nice to see the trail from a different perspective.

13:45 fantastic view, almost looks like Iceland
Got the xmas nibbles out for this one. Starting watching this video and it felt familiar, it was'nt until 40 minutes in i realised you had Heaton as a companion, saw his vlog on his channel. What a trek with those early winds. Good going Murray
15 seconds in and love it already. You really should give up the day job, Murray! (If you haven't already) you were born for this 👍
If only I could - think I would need about 100 times higher views to be able to do that - in meantime I'll have to make do with fitting these adventures in on my annual leave lol (just back from a Knoydart adventure which I did on my first few days of Xmas Holidays :) - so glad I have an understanding wife aka the boss;)

Fantastic. As a long time lover of Skye I haven't been able to visit since 2019 so it's great to see it and remind myself of great days out there (I kept saying, "been there"). Seing some of the places less visited was brilliant. Now I'm looking forward to the next part.
Thanks Alasdair - hope you enjoy the second part too :)
Take care , thanks for watching and have a very Happy New Year when it arrives :)

Awesome Murray. I don't know Skye yet but I am glad to have gone on this trip with you. Good job you remembered your coffee! Look forward to seeing the rest of your escapade! A merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Janet - not sure I'd have got through one day if I had left the coffee on this one ;) lol
Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :)

Beautifully presented Murray!! I soooo want to get back there. When you made it to Slig, I could literally taste the venison stew my wife and I had when last there. 🍲🍺🥰. Next time in Portree stop at Isle of Skye Baking Company for some trail-ready "calories". 🤣
Excellent effort gents. Perfectly documented as usual Murray. I've had the Skye trail in my sights for quite a while - hopefully this coming year. Thanks for sharing. 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾⛺😎
Hope you get to do it, its an amazing trail :) Hope you can catch part 2 next week :)
Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :)

Dreaming about adventures like this!
Nice one lads. 👍 Hope u had a good crimbo & new year Murray. Some camp spot on night 2 👌 Always fancied doing the Skye Trail. It's finding the time. Hope yis had a pint or twa at the end 😉🍻
Thanks Kevin - it was a fine spot for a camp :) Absolutely with you on the time part - this was my summer hols this year (well the one week I am allowed to go and roam ;) - maybe back to normal weeks away next year - travel restrictions dependent!!). Pints were enjoyed by Tom , orange juice for me as was in van :( lol. Hope you and yours had a great Christmas and Happy New Year to you sir :)

Nice one Murray. Sleep walking in a camper van could be interesting. Fabulous trail. Atb Gordon
Another Epic adventure Murray you don't do anything by Half's. The Quirang is some feature as you say the biggest landslip in Great Britain. The views from the top were astounding especially in that wind. One good thing the wind kept those horrible midges at bay. Looking forward to part two. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year. All the Best and Stay Safe.
I would honestly pay to go the cinema to watch this great entertainment. What a journey so far. Scenery got to be as good as anywhere in the uk!! ATB
Excellent stuff Murray. The Trotternish is probably one of my favorite walks to date , we had the same problem with the wind on it. Good to see it again ..cheers Stevie
I'm lucky enough to live on skye. This video really captured the beauty of the island from perspectives I've never seen before. Just phenomenal
Lucky man indeed Robert - Skye is such a wonderful place and what an amazing place to live - not at all jealous ;)lol Thank you for you kind comment - hope you enjoyed the two videos of our journey across Skye :)

14 mins in and another beauty so far. Would holiday with the family growing up from 5 -15 yrs old on the other side of the water in mallaig/morar and visited 3 of the 4 small Isles(not canna) as well as skye of course. Stunning place, can't wait to visit again, its been a few years. Thanks for sharing ure trip.

Murray this and part two are such amazing and inspiring vlogs. We love the Isle of Skye and your journey from top to bottom has to be one your best yet. This is certainly one I'll be revisiting and watching for a long time to come. Highly enjoyable as always. Please don't stop what you're doing. All the best.
Wonderful video. We did the Skye trail in may and enjoyed every minute!
Thank you - it’s an amazing trail isn’t it - would love to go back and re do it some day :)

Perfect first sentence Murray, set to the most magical mountain place I have ever known too. Skye tourist board should owe you for decades! Stunning trip, thoughtfully presented for us all to share. Thanks
Great videos as always 🏔👍
Scenery is out of this world, could watch this all day
Going to have to get myself up to Skye one day , looks absolutely fantastic
Another fabulous video
You have a lot to answer for, as my list of things to do and places to see is getting longer !! Lol
Just love sky
What rucksack is it you used as I can’t see a name
I need one that stays wide at the base and not narrows
Anyway please keep these videos coming
Fantastic to see more of sky
Tom seems like exactly the kind of company you’d want on one of these long hikes, cheery and always seeing the positives! I’m hoping to do the Skye trail early next year so thanks for the video Murray :)
Absolutely - he is a great trekking companion and smashing company :)

1 hour long Scotland’s Mountains video in Skye. Merry Christmas Murray, thanks for the quality content you continue to put out. I’ll be back in Scotland next year to walk the West Highland Way. If I have time I may tackle curved ridge along the way.
Hope you have a great trip when you get back to Scotland :)
Have a good Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and yours :)
