- Hi everyone!!
This week's video is our Scottish Highlands and Islands road trip. We did a quick 3 night tour of Oban, Mull and Glencoe. It was SO cool. We've never done van life before and we loved it. There's a full van tour from 3-7 mins on the video. It was our first family holiday as a three as we took Winnie with us which was so fun!
Hope you enjoy the vlog. Any questions pop them in the comments!
I've linked below my full blog post guide of everywhere we went and all the places we stopped off.

You had me with FIsh & Chips, Scallops and Champagne!!!!
i can’t wait to get my van and explore my amazing country
This looked incredible!! Van life looks so much fun! Definitely want to give it a go!
it is SOOO fun! we are trying to work out when we can afford to buy one now haha
When I was working at a tour operator in London, I used to sell these locations to my clients. They are absolutely stunning, I can’t wait for the world to be normal again and be able to travel...
As someone from oban this was an eye opener just as where we live
Love the breakfast ideas thanks for sharing your tour
The Oban Green Seafood Shack is awesome, loved it and love the area!
Aye it’s absolutely dynamite 👌🏻
I’ve never had battered scallops, that may need to change!
And what a landscape, can’t wait to get back up in Scotland😁
Omg they’re sooooo good 😍😍
I’m so excited! We are going to Scotland this summer in a camper for three weeks with our two dogs! I can’t wait! This video makes me even more excited🤩
Ahhh that’s so exciting!! Hope you all have the best time 🤩
Looks a beautiful part of the world Scotland’s a wonderful place I hope you both enjoyed your break and Winnie best wishes
it is just so beautiful!! wish I'd visited more of it when I lived there
I’m sure you can visit again. It looked a great place . Loved your film .
Love this! Such a fun video to watch! I’m starting out making my own adventure videos and this really nails what I’m going for
Finally watched this and you had the best trip! Love Winnie! We hired a van like that and did a road trip around Andalucia in Spain, also great!
The van is unreal Jess 👌👌👌
omg isn't it!! so boujie!!! I mean I've never done van life before so I cant compare but we were so impressed with everything in it hehe
Great Video, looks like a fantastic trip!
Best dog mum and dad ever!!
omg brings a tear to my eye! thank you hehe
awesome jess , glad i found this ... camper van will be booked no doubt
Your trip looks incredible! I’ve been wanting to do a road trip in Scotland and your video reinforced it.
You should! its sooo fun! like no other holiday we've ever been on
A wee word o advice you are not welcome. SAOR ALBA GU BRATH
Awesome. We love a hairy cow. Scotland is just absolutely amazing isn't it!? Nice vlog 👍
haha love a hairy cow! such a beautiful place ❤️❤️
Cool video.. I went camping in that campsite in Glencoe a couple of years ago in the summer with my kids and we loved it.. also what a beautiful drive through the mountains scenery is awesome.. happy new year from Glasgow
OH MYYYY... Firstly biting into that fried scollop, I was salivating.... all those muscles for £2. INCREDIBLE. Looked like you both had an incredible trip and the camper van is amazing....
hahah OMG the scallop was SO good! just absolutely incredible! xx
Wonderful road trip
Nice cinematography 👍👍👍
thank yoU!!!
i’ve been wanting to travel & scotland is on my list. just beautiful!!!
You should it just so peaceful and stunning! hope you get there one day
Just came back from our own trip to Oban, Mull and Glencoe/Fort William after our trip home to Portugal was cancelled once again :(
Nevertheless, I just wanted to let you know that it was inspired by you and this vlog, we rented a VW camper van too and used your google maps guide to explore!
Thank you so much for sharing your trip, we had a wonderful time after this whole uncertainty of Covid. Loved being surrounded by nature and the amazing sceneries ❤️ we spent 2 nights (3 full days) in mull and 2 nights in Glencoe exploring. I would highly recommend visiting and will be back for sure.
xxx
ahh wow that is so lovely to hear. im sorry your Portugal trip got cancelled but glad you had a fabulous time camper vaning instead ❤️❤️
Great video guys
It's seems like a nice trip have fun.
thank you x
@@Jessroseparr you welcome. I agree with you I prefer go to the mountain and camping there rather than spending time in traffic and croud
Champagne with Fish & Chip....a couple after our own hearts 😆 Scotland is the best, we recorded our road trip last year on our channel too, what a dreamy place! FYI best fish & chips we have ever had was just over the bridge onto the Isle of Skye 🤤
ahhh I love Skye! Sounds great! and how good is bubbles with fired food yum!!
Those roads seem like never end, lovely couple, they feel this world just their own, perhaps. I must continue my study first in this country then find my heart and our campervan then travel some parts of this earth. Awesome 🌐♥️
yes thats exactly how it feels driving these roads - a world of its own! definitely worth a visit. good luck with your studies! ❤️
Awesome 🌐🇬🇧❤️
If you are doing it again then can I recommend getting the ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway, tour Lewis then head down to Harris, google Luskentyre beach 😍
Wow! We where on Mull in September for 6 days and the only money we spent was £5 in a honestly box the other 5 day we park for free, try downloading park for the night , i do wildlife photography i got the sea eagles and as a bonus we saw and photographed the northern lights. Glad you guy's enjoyed it! Its a great island 🏝 😊😊😊
Fab video. I did the NC500 and Skye last summer which I loved. Think you’ve sold me on the idea of another trip to Scotland later this year
aww love that! thats next on our list. the NC500 looks stunning!
Fino Sherry or Manzanilla is an amazing pairing with Fish and Chips. Superb video. 👍
I've often wondered who lives in those little houses in the absolute middle of nowhere, I'd have to go and knock on the door, I wouldn't be able to help myself. Great Video, Beautiful Scenery.
You and me both! thank you for the kind words :) x
Awww Argyll I miss you😭😢♥️
the OTHER way of doing this is to get the ferry over from Oban, do your exploring around Mull, then get the Fishnish ferry to the Ardnamurchan peninsula, drive up to the Corran Ferry (no booking required for either ferry - just queue) which takes you to just south of Fort William. You can then drive all the way down through Glencoe.
Loved the vw and your tour video! Who did you hire from as loved the features in that vw camper! Might even persuade me to downsize from our 6.5m camper van!
Beautiful.....
thank you x
Welcome to my galley - hahaha so iconic 🙌
hahahah once crew always crew
Check out The Isle of Bute Candle Shop if/when you get onto Bute...They've got some cool stuff.
love it thank you!!!
Wow watching this video sure makes you hungry!
haha yeah it was a real feast of a trip!
Omg I think I saw you I live in fionnphort and work in the ferry shop x
Very nice video dear. Love and support from Edinburgh ❤️👍
Thank you so much! Hi to Edinburgh! hope you're ok atm up there xx
Wow! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Watching here
This looks great! Btw, can you tell me what your opening music was? it was really catchy!
Aww kinlochleven I miss you 😢
What is the dog bed you have in the back of your car? looks great!
I'm currently planning a roadtrip to oban, glencoe and loch lomond. I am so excited now. Definitely going to the Oban chippy. Sadly we aren't going to mull but did you happen to see many places/smokehouses to buy fresh fish, meat, bread etc in Oban? Was hoping to stock up there! X
so cool! yes the Oban chippy is so fab. Ooohyes id say grab your fresh fish at the green shack at the ferry but couldn't tell you about a butchers or bakery etc as we didnt stay long there x
@@Jessroseparr thanks Jess! So excited xx
Looks amazing! What company did you use to hire the camper van? Xx
Great video! 🤙🏼 We are about to road trip Scotland next week. We are newbies to UK travel and I’m wondering, did you have to reserve campsites ahead of time?
Aamzing!! Have fun. Yes we prebooked them all. I would do it because you don’t want to worry about not getting a spot for the night. They’re very flexible with arrival times x
@@Jessroseparr great, thank you!
Hi Jess, just deciding on what Campervan to hire for a week in Scotland - a VW transporter or a bigger motorhome with shower and toilet... have you experience driving both? Worried the motorhome will be to big! Thanks :) And really enjoyed the vid you guys did X :)
All yous do is eat 😂😂 looks like a great trip 👍🏻👍🏻
hahahah yes!!!
Also me and my friend said hi to ur dog outside lidl
Is the camper van has the toilets ? And how you refill the water in it ?
Should check out greater GLASGOW'S DEVIL'S POOL PIT🎉🎉
you do nothing but eat. Heaven.
"Freddie wanted to pull in to let people past because we're driving slowly" Thank you for being so considerate! Oblivious slow drivers are so annoying.
What time of year did you go? And how was the midges?
Hi you two , great vlog , please Google this if it helps , there is no traffic order making no camping signs or no overnight sleeping legal . In other words you can camp wherever you like within reason . Stay safe .
Thanks for that tip! I had absolutely no idea. :D
Lovely video! Looked a great time for you guys and your pooch :) May I ask what the music was that you used in the video most the way through please ?
thank you! its from epidemic sound website called "concussion"
@@Jessroseparr thank you very much !
Really enjoiyed your Vlog and how refreshing to see visitors that eat meat, I thought the only visitors we got were Vegans judging by all the other Vlogs. Glad you enjoyed the fish too
Dead, decaying animal corpses are disgusting. If you're seeing more vegans than meat eaters, perhaps you should use a little logic & reasoning to determine 'why' you're seeing more vegans than meat eaters.
Did u no get any Haggis from the Chippy? Nice Vid
How did the van do on fuel?
Scotland is the best, like the people who live there must be so trusting for the pay yourself with no staff around, u can tell not much theifed and violence goes on there
That chip shop gets their fish from John Vallance in Glasgow 🤦
Hey Jess, absolutly loved the video. I tried to click on the Google maps link for all the places you visited, but sadly it didn't work.
thank you! oh no I've just refreshed it hopefully it works for you now xx
@@Jessroseparr Amazing! Thank you. x
I live in oban
Avon so soft original is the best anti midge there is
ooh brill thanks
What about the bathroom?
Like that my wee dug... Lol
👌💨💨🤯🥴🤪🤣😂👍🏻Brilliant
:D
is the red nose free ? lol
Check out Land of Hope and Glory on TH-cam 💚 all UK footage
You can't just potter off for a walk in the highlands = you need to be aware where you are and what you're doing, otherwise, you put your's & other's lives at risk. In the video when driving through Glencoe, Jess indicates the hills on the left- these join up to a serious ridgeline, the Aonach Eagach, a serious grade 2 scramble not to be taken lightly.
Camera shake is really distracting.
I am from Oban, I hate people who come here in campervan's! They have no respect for the locals on the roads...
Pies off, or speed up! 😁
Nice video, however, this is Campervaning = holiday trip in a campervan staying at camping sites. Van Life = living in a van - permanently or semi permanently usually with off grid capability
