Welcome back everyone! This time around, I boarded a train towards Inverness, the capital city of the Highlands. Inverness is actually one of seven cities in Scotland and is Scotland's most northern city. I then continued my train for 360 miles from Inverness to the northernmost train station in the UK, Thurso. This scenic Far North Line journey took me along the northeast coast of Scotland, along towns and villages, lochs and castles. I then took another ferry crossing the Pentland Firth, a strait lying between mainland Scotland and the Orkney archipelago, which has some of the fastest tides in the world. The ferry was heading towards Stromness, where the coast of Norway is closer than London.
When I did this journey a number of years ago, when I was ready to leave Orkney to travel back south, I took the bus instead of the train. That gave me a slightly different view out of the windows, still lovely. Again I am enjoying your video!
That was a very interesting journey to places that many people in UK have never been. Syifa's style of presenting is top class and makes this just as interesting and unique as Bald's travels
Hi, Syifa. I recently stumbled across your video series as you tour Scotland and was struck by your genuine appreciation for my beautiful wee home country. I especially liked that you have travelled in a non-typical touristy fashion, taking in remote and virtually unknown areas for many. You produce a very soothing channel and it holds the intellectual appeal missing in all too many of the young influencer age. I will be an avid follower from here on & hope we see you back here soon. Terima kasih x
Currently, I'm staying at Aberdeen for my study. I have been thinking of visiting Orkney, but, after watching this vlog I'm feeling like I should set off tomorrow; it is such fascinating. Thank you for this vlog. Wishing you best wishes for more thrilling vlogs. Cheers!!
I lived in Shetland for over seven years on the most northerly inhabited island in the UK, Unst. I recommend you visit Shetland, it feels more Scandinavian than Orkney.
Dear Syifa, I have journeyed with you since Yinchuan, China. You have grown to become a beautiful woman. I am so very happy for you in your new life. Stay safe, stay happy. 🤩🤓
Hi Syifa, this is the first video I've seen of yours , I really enjoyed it to be honest with your travel from Inverness to Orkney, we'll presented, Scotland is a beautiful nation with lots on offer so much to see , I live in Cardiff, but I have friends in Glasgow, but when I visit my friends in Glasgow, I usually go to Edinburgh, and up north to as I love the Highlands, I am scottish born ,but love it there and the people
The sceneries are absolutely stunning. Feeling the stress with figuring out the transports and sea sickness. Love your honesty and sharing your raw feelings ❤️
We took a school trip up to orkney from one of the villages you passed through after inverness.. yeah, in my memory, there were 150 puking kids. Vomit everywhere. Best to sit on the outside decks i think.
Full of captivating scenes of the north of Scotland. Another vlog that deserves a great appreciation. It's magnificent! I've enjoyed it so much. Best of luck to you, Syifa!
It's so lovely to see you enjoying the UK! I think other Brits will agree that seeing it through your eyes actually helps us to appreciate the beauty that's right on our doorstep :)
Thank you very much Syifa for this wonderful video and beautiful presentation. The train ride was great having such a beautiful view such diverse nature. I like it I really like the video, very nicely edited, the thumbnail is so beautiful and the music chosen is great. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us, with respect and lots of love.
A lovely video, however I’m really surprised you never visited the capital of Orkney called Kirkwall which has the most beautiful town centre, historic buildings and an ancient cathedral. There is a direct connecting bus from the ferry terminal to Kirkwall and it’s timed with the ferry times.
Thank you Walter! I had a very strict schedule and had to keep moving as I was using travel pass and had a wedding of my brother in law in Berdfordshire to attend to. Thank you for your comment!
Great videos! Nice quality and personal touch. Enjoy your positive attitude and outlook - certainly useful when wandering in cold/wet Scotland! The UK needs more people like you and less complainers, love it :)
Beautifully done. Your long shots and smooth transitions really helped me feel like I came along on your journey. Great drone work as well! Instant follow.
Hello Shifa, your videos is very inspirational for many people who admires to discover the beauty of the world. I'm so fascinating to see the serenity of nature and it can give us joy inside our heart. Through your journey we learned a lot thank you💗
Love this! I've followed your videos since probably the Nepal series, and it's so strange/fun see you in familiar places - I've just spent a month in Orkney this summer, I'm normally based in the Central Belt of Scotland. Orkney is so nice, friendly and safe! It's a shame you didn't explore it more, there is so much history and they have tiny planes flying between the islands as basically their bus service. Very fun experience. But the NorthLink ferry is no joke, it can be super rough 🤢🛳️
Agáta Strunzová thank you so much for your comment. That's very kind of you to still support me till this day. Yes I had a very limited time as there was a family wedding to attend to down south in Bedfordshire. Thanks again for commenting!
Wonderful place my dear, enjoy and be thankful because your difficulties on traveling was paid off by kind people and fantastic view...💞 keep safe as you traveling👍
Yet another great honest video, dear Syifa. I admire your enthusiasm, "looking forward to this ferry, and then being seasick again." haha, but as you said wisely, it is from the whole experience that we can grow.
A lovely little video with a very sympathetic narrative. I commute regularly by road and ferry to Sromness and you got the feel of the journey very well. Thank you. Rmb
So glad you had a good trip to Orkney and what a way to travel letting the train and ferry get you there. We had a lovely time in Inverness but have never been to the Orkney Isle so thanks for sharing your documented trip. Safe travels Simon and Beth 💚 🙋👋
Again what beautiful way to show Scotland I stay in Central Scotland near Edinburgh, but does make me want to stay up in Highlands. Thanks for coming to Scotland, best wishes x
I enjoyed this as a resident of Orkney for 15 years. It is a shame you suffered from seasickness, if you ever return to Orkney you can always fly. There is so much more to see, you could stay for a week and not see it all.
Очень смелая девушка, показывает всё как есть на самом деле. Сколько же у неё терпения и мужества, совершать эти путешествия. Если честно, я бы так не смог. Давно смотрю её видео, а решился написать впервые. Очень хотелось бы, чтобы она немного по дольше задерживалась в подобных местах, чтобы показать как можно больше всякого разного. 🤔😊🤩
Большое спасибо за ваш прекрасный комментарий! Мне очень понравилось их читать :-) Я надеюсь снять что-то другое для следующей серии о путешествиях. Пожелай мне удачи!
Hello Adriana. I was also in Thurso last August. I really liked these fantastic places where it's just you and nature. Unfortunately I haven't been to the islands, but I think it's even more wonderful there than in Thurso. It was an unforgettable trip and I was most impressed by the landscapes. It's very pleasant to see when someone else goes through those places where you have been too. Very nice.
The experience of traveling and using trains and various means of roaming in the United Kingdom is a beautiful and exciting experience, as well as getting to know the regions, people and residents that add new information to your knowledge balance, thanks for sharing..
I like so many others absolutely enjoyed this video of your journey through the northern UK. I applaud your choice of music to score the video. Pleasant travels the rest of your way.
We visited the Orkney Islands along with Edinburgh in Oct 2017 for our honeymoon. I stumbled across your video reminiscing about our trip and it was very nice to see how you travel by ferry to the islands (we flew instead). So sorry about the seasickness!
Many good days wet days and harsh wet winter ones in the Far North West when I was at Aberdeen University.Field trips and archeology serious walks on mountains ( munros) trout fishing camping ..even a swim in the sea....in April!!!
Hope you got the chance to spend more time in Thurso on the way back, it's a beautiful town. Best 'trick' for reducing sea sickness is to try and stay as close to the sea level, in the centre of the boat as possible - learned that on the ferry to Islay - you'll need to try that! Great video and music, really well put together - you've got a new subscriber!
Im half Scottish and if you want to explore a lot of Scotland then you have to get your sea legs. Spent 4 weeks doing that as a teenager years ago and loved ever minute of it.
Really lovely vid. I've sailed from Thurso to Stromness several times and have been sick about half the time. You sail through the Pentland Firth whose tidal currents are among the fastest in the world so even on calm days the movement of the boat need not be smooth.
I find that I get less sea sick if I travel back to Orkney on the Alfred (Pentland ferry). It departs from Gills Bay and docks at St Margaret’s Hope. Thanks for posting!
Hi there. I'm a new subscriber. I stumbled on to your channel and love your presentation. Just a wee bit of advice if you're prone to seasickness. Always Always sit yourself between midway and stern of the ferry. The motion is less. Also take ginger in tablet form or crystallized available from supermarkets. Ginger is a natural remedy which helps prevent motion sickness. Additionally swallow the tablet with carbonated water. The CO2 helps as well. Ginger has been used for 200-300 years I believe. But....take the tablets at least an hour "before" you travel as it gives your body time to adjust. The additional benefits of ginger, is that it's safe to drive, with it in your system, as it won't leave you feeling drowsy, like the chemical stuff available. Until next time, take care.
Uhh thank you so much for this comment!! Sorry for interrupting this comment, Syifa. I intentionally read every comment to search information about mitigating seasickness since in many times I also had this problem and it makes me a bit afraid to travel with boat or ferries. Thank you Bryan, I am happy to find this information, I will get ginger with me next time I travel by ferries.
@@guacamolebelacan8094 glad to help. Nothing new in what I've just said...generally it takes 3-4 days to get your "sealegs." But you don't have that time available on a ferry. Atb.
@@bryanbadger6841 Bryan, that's very kind of you to take the time to watch and comment. Thanks for your advice! I actually was lying down on one of the seats midway of the ferry as sitting down wasn't really an option for my seasickness 😂😂 I like drinking ginger with honey at home but I'll try to look for the ginger tablets you mentioned. Thanks a lot!
Exotic Orkney. We were there last week, staying in Stromness. We managed to capture a few of the many places we visited on Orkney. I can't help but feel you missed the most exotic parts.
You show us again another great place of Inverness the capital of highlands, you are a lucky women travelling around the world travelling alone without no one help I wish you whenever you travel have a great day and best of luck 🤞
Lovely video… take care your health… wish u great day ahead and have more and more energy to survey beautiful places and people and their culture and waiting for another amazing video….
I’m sure you will love Argyll and Bute in Scotland which is a lot nearer and less distance, it’s one of the best places in Scotland. Facts about Argyll and Bute It’s a lovely and friendly community, very sociable and nearly always greet each other, whether passing by in the car or on the streets, this tends to get a lot more common in the Island communities of Argyll and on the mainland just most of the time and can decrease as you head out of Argyll and towards the more busy cities. There’s lots of history starting from 10/02/2024 even going far back to 01/01/1 and even to 01/01/5000 1. It is home to the worlds 3rd largest whirlpool, the Corryvreckan ( Coire Bhreacainn ) Tartan Cauldron, Plaid Tarn 2. It is where the king of Scotland and Ireland was based at Dunadd Hill Fort on 01/05/506, when these two countries were all part of the Kingdom of Dalriada (Dail Riata) 3. The Mull of Kintyre is based here in the southernmost point of Argyll where you can get a boat to Ballycastle in Northern Ireland and it’s only a short trip by boat, this is also where Paul McCartney, famous for his two bands; Wings and The Beatles. Where he owns a farm and he wrote the world famous song: Mull Of Kintyre, which is available on TH-cam. 4. Argyll is home to spa Scotland Largest Freshwater Lake Loch Lomond (Loch Laomainn) and Scotlands 3rd Largest Freshwater Lake Loch Awe (Loch Obha) 5. Argyll has more islands than all the other counties in Scotland and loads of lakes and rivers everywhere 6. Argyll is also home to the Duke of Argyll who resides at Inveraray Castle (Caisteal na Inbhir Aora) 7. Lots of Archaeology and Ancient Artefacts (Kilmartin Museum) 8. The Worlds first pumped storage hydroelectric reservoir was built here which is called Cruachan Power Station. It was officially opened and switched on in 1965 by Queen Elizabeth. Cruachan currently feeds power to 200,000 homes but is being expanded to feed 600,000 homes with power which will help Argyll area and Glasgow City which currently benefits from the power generated at Cruachan. For more information visit websites like Argyll and Bute Council and The Heart Of Argyll, you can also have a loot at Heathers Treks and various other useful websites. Finlaggan
If you’re stuck at the end of the queue always try and get staff assistance they will gladly help and others in the queue will understand, I’m a great believer that if you don’t let others know then they can’t help you, we can’t read minds, well unless you’re married then you’re wife knows exactly what you’re doing 😇beautiful part of the country not as striking as the west coast but still worth the visit only thing I regret doing was the journey over to Orkney, beautifully done video and so well presented,
Syifa. If you ever get a seasickness feeling again, perhaps take some neat ginger lumps. This should stabilize your stomach. If the weather is better, best to stay on deck (not below deck) while travelling. Good luck.
Thank you for your comment, Timon! I did stay on deck for a few minutes and the sea sickness was so bad I had to get inside and lie down throughout the crossing. 🥲
Thanks a lot Jim. The rest of Scotland videos can be watched here: United Kingdom - SYIFA ADRIANA th-cam.com/play/PLonhezuZQT1YnnhCU2_aRm0IaXlnuvSFS.html 😊
Went through the same route last month. Explored the Skye and other parts of the Highlands. Feel the highlands are the most picturesque place in the UK. Hope you have visited Fort William as well.
I like Scotland and nature is beautiful! I must say that although film Braveheart is maybe not excatly accurate, but it helped many to get interested in Scotland me, included). I like landscape, clowdy weather, I hope Im gonna visit it one day.
Way too much travelling & not enough taking in what's actually there ! Nice to see so many places, but I feel tired just from watching this ! I've been in the US for 35 yrs, and this just reminded me of all those harried trips back to the UK - flight, train, taxi to my parent's home in Norfolk. By the time I got there I was cvompletely fed up with traveling, and how lovely it always is to get home again ! Enjoy yourself, but rather you than me !
Thank you for your attention and for your comment. This series of trips to Scotland focuses on solo travel using a travel pass that strictly allowed me to travel for 9 days out of 15 days using public transport. On my TH-cam channel, I usually focus on encounters and documenting my travel journey, such as through these videos: th-cam.com/video/kJQFV_cbbVM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/zgptKWJ1-aI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ETTIEcw7OVE/w-d-xo.html
8:14 "well at least you acknowledge that Bali is part of Indonesia" so true 😂 the fact that you missed your train then end up met another fellow traveler who went to each other country, that's so unexpected and nice companionship.
There is a local bus to the ferry port at Scrabster but these kind of things you need to check in advance via the TRAVELINE website, and put in your origin and destination at whatever time you require.

Hi, Syifa. I recently stumbled across your video series as you tour Scotland and was struck by your genuine appreciation for my beautiful wee home country. I especially liked that you have travelled in a non-typical touristy fashion, taking in remote and virtually unknown areas for many. You produce a very soothing channel and it holds the intellectual appeal missing in all too many of the young influencer age. I will be an avid follower from here on & hope we see you back here soon. Terima kasih x
Thank you so much Brian! Your comment is so very kind and lovely! Thank you 😊
Glad you've enjoyed your stay come back anytime! Bring your friends we have wind and rain for all!✌

Good luck for your study, Adhip! Hope you'll journey to Orkney will be delightful! 🙂
I lived in Shetland for over seven years on the most northerly inhabited island in the UK, Unst. I recommend you visit Shetland, it feels more Scandinavian than Orkney.
Dear Syifa, I have journeyed with you since Yinchuan, China. You have grown to become a beautiful woman. I am so very happy for you in your new life. Stay safe, stay happy. 🤩🤓

Me too, it was hard to grasp when I first heard the accent but all good now :) Thanks for sharing Auld for sharing your experience!
Well done! Enjoyed your choice of background music. Glad you eventually made it to Orkney

I actually was lying down on one of the seats midway of the ferry as sitting down wasn't really an option for my seasickness 😂😂 I like drinking ginger with honey at home but I'll try to look for the ginger tablets you mentioned. Thanks a lot!
Exotic Orkney. We were there last week, staying in Stromness. We managed to capture a few of the many places we visited on Orkney. I can't help but feel you missed the most exotic parts.
What a lovely vlog. Thank you.
Most enjoyable, thank you for sharing.
You show us again another great place of Inverness the capital of highlands, you are a lucky women travelling around the world travelling alone without no one help I wish you whenever you travel have a great day and best of luck 🤞
Thank you so much for your kind comment Jawan! I appreciate it!
A job well done! I love to see your video about Scotland. Carry on with this good venture. Take care
Aw thanks so much David, I have one more video from my Scotland travel series.
So large a land but so few people. Compare that to our part of Asia. Very happy to watch your vlogs sister. Keep on!
Lovely video… take care your health… wish u great day ahead and have more and more energy to survey beautiful places and people and their culture and waiting for another amazing video….
I’m sure you will love Argyll and Bute in Scotland which is a lot nearer and less distance, it’s one of the best places in Scotland.
Facts about Argyll and Bute
It’s a lovely and friendly community, very sociable and nearly always greet each other, whether passing by in the car or on the streets, this tends to get a lot more common in the Island communities of Argyll and on the mainland just most of the time and can decrease as you head out of Argyll and towards the more busy cities.
There’s lots of history starting from 10/02/2024 even going far back to 01/01/1 and even to 01/01/5000
1. It is home to the worlds 3rd largest whirlpool, the Corryvreckan ( Coire Bhreacainn ) Tartan Cauldron, Plaid Tarn
2. It is where the king of Scotland and Ireland was based at Dunadd Hill Fort on 01/05/506, when these two countries were all part of the Kingdom of Dalriada (Dail Riata)
3. The Mull of Kintyre is based here in the southernmost point of Argyll where you can get a boat to Ballycastle in Northern Ireland and it’s only a short trip by boat, this is also where Paul McCartney, famous for his two bands; Wings and The Beatles. Where he owns a farm and he wrote the world famous song: Mull Of Kintyre, which is available on TH-cam.
4. Argyll is home to spa Scotland Largest Freshwater Lake Loch Lomond (Loch Laomainn) and Scotlands 3rd Largest Freshwater Lake Loch Awe (Loch Obha)
5. Argyll has more islands than all the other counties in Scotland and loads of lakes and rivers everywhere
6. Argyll is also home to the Duke of Argyll who resides at Inveraray Castle (Caisteal na Inbhir Aora)
7. Lots of Archaeology and Ancient Artefacts (Kilmartin Museum)
8. The Worlds first pumped storage hydroelectric reservoir was built here which is called Cruachan Power Station. It was officially opened and switched on in 1965 by Queen Elizabeth. Cruachan currently feeds power to 200,000 homes but is being expanded to feed 600,000 homes with power which will help Argyll area and Glasgow City which currently benefits from the power generated at Cruachan.
For more information visit websites like Argyll and Bute Council and The Heart Of Argyll, you can also have a loot at Heathers Treks and various other useful websites.

If you’re stuck at the end of the queue always try and get staff assistance they will gladly help and others in the queue will understand, I’m a great believer that if you don’t let others know then they can’t help you, we can’t read minds, well unless you’re married then you’re wife knows exactly what you’re doing 😇beautiful part of the country not as striking as the west coast but still worth the visit only thing I regret doing was the journey over to Orkney, beautifully done video and so well presented,
Syifa. If you ever get a seasickness feeling again, perhaps take some neat ginger lumps. This should stabilize your stomach. If the weather is better, best to stay on deck (not below deck) while travelling. Good luck.
Thank you for your comment, Timon! I did stay on deck for a few minutes and the sea sickness was so bad I had to get inside and lie down throughout the crossing. 🥲
I was thinking where have you been and TH-cam showed me this video in my home page after this long time.
I love Scotland... Thank you syifa
Amazingly beautiful place and as always amazingly presented Syifa. Recommend you get some real ginger lozenges they might help your sickness a bit.
Thanks Jessie for the rec! I'll get ginger lozenges on amazon the next time 🙂

Hi Keshav! That's very kind of you to comment on this video. Glad to hear that the video was claiming :)
Way too much travelling & not enough taking in what's actually there ! Nice to see so many places, but I feel tired just from watching this ! I've been in the US for 35 yrs, and this just reminded me of all those harried trips back to the UK - flight, train, taxi to my parent's home in Norfolk. By the time I got there I was cvompletely fed up with traveling, and how lovely it always is to get home again ! Enjoy yourself, but rather you than me !
Thank you for your attention and for your comment. This series of trips to Scotland focuses on solo travel using a travel pass that strictly allowed me to travel for 9 days out of 15 days using public transport. On my TH-cam channel, I usually focus on encounters and documenting my travel journey, such as through these videos: th-cam.com/video/kJQFV_cbbVM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/zgptKWJ1-aI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ETTIEcw7OVE/w-d-xo.html
Great view from the window train 👍
Love this Syifa! I’m always looking forward to your new videos. ♥️
Thank you Nurul, that's very kind of you 😊
I enjoyed the video...very fascinating and interesting...thank you...
8:14 "well at least you acknowledge that Bali is part of Indonesia" so true 😂 the fact that you missed your train then end up met another fellow traveler who went to each other country, that's so unexpected and nice companionship.
There is a local bus to the ferry port at Scrabster but these kind of things you need to check in advance via the TRAVELINE website, and put in your origin and destination at whatever time you require.
