My "MacFadyn" family came from Mull. Of course this was centuries ago. The island had a MacFadyn chieftain. Would like to make it there before my time is up.
I had to pause the video 12 mins in just to say how much i love this already. I know that for some reason these type of vids aren't as successful as the ones about America, but please know that you've made at least one person immensely happy with these vids. I truly tear up while witnessing the beauty of your nation. Thank you so much for this vid and all your Scottish content. It is VERY appreciated 💜
What a great video!! Iona Abbey just took my breath away. So stunning! Your hotel, the view and the food looked amazing. Your camera and drone work were wonderful. I felt as if I were there with ya'll. Thank you so very much for taking us along. Looking forward to the next adventure you have for us. Take care! God bless!
Excellent video Shaun! Thank you! What beautiful scenery and old structures on the Isles. Now I want to go there too! That hotel was very nice too. Now tomorrow I will watch this on my television! So grateful for this one!
Scotland the land of my dreams. The Country I long for. Shaun that was an absolutely amazing video! The Isle of Mull is one of the many places I want to see and Iona because that's where Christianity was introduced into Scotland. Oban is another place I so want to see. Such a beautiful place Scotland is. I pray that soon I will be able to visit. I have to say this was by far your best video yet. It is so nice to see Teka more and more in your videos. She's a beautiful lady! Thank you so much Shaun for taking me...all of us on another fantastic journey through Scotland. How blessed you are to call her "Home". God bless you and Teka always and I pray you have a very wonderful time visiting the States. Enjoy!💞🌷🕊️🙏🙃
First time viewer here and I really enjoyed the video. My wife and I are spending a month in Scotland soon, and we are looking carefully at Oban and now the Isle of Mull and the hotel and spa you stayed at. Looks awesome and the food delicious! 👍🏼
I've always wanted to visit Scotland and see all the great scenery and history there,especially the Highlands!and until then,I get to see it through your videos! Thank You So Very Much For Making These! Love Them!💞💞💞🌟💯
Loved staying in Oban & taking the ferries to the Isle of Mull & Isle of Iona. We had hard rain on Iona once we came out of the Abbey. Love your videos as I left my heart in Scotland on my second trip. Edinburgh feels like "home" & I'm from Nashville, TN USA. My ancestors on 3 sides came from Scotland & the 4th from Yorkshire England. So glad you & your wife are back in Scotland! 🏴
Have been watching your vlogs for a couple of years now, Shaun. Love your varied content. I will be making my first ((twice Covid postponed) trip to Scotland in two weeks! Will be telling anyone who asks along the way that your channel figured highly in my planning our itinerary. Wishing you and your wife and friends continued safe journeys. 🙂
Ahh thank you so much Amy, really appreciate it and hope you have a wonderful time here. I would say I hope we run into each other but I’ll be in America!
Thank you for showing this - beautiful. We had tickets for the ferry to visit there in 2020, and of course, travel was cancelled due to covid. I hope before too long to be able to visit, and feel the atmosphere for ourselves.
Hello there from America, Shaun. I am enjoying book 3 of The Isle of Mull series by Hugh Rae written under the name of Jessica Stirling. Of course, these lovely stories make me want to see and learn more of the romantic and rustic lands of Mull so how lucky for me that you posted a video showing off this beautiful Island. Thank you so very much and be blessed ❤
I can’t wait to return to this wonderful place! On the trip back from Mull on the last ferry for the day, I was the only person on the top deck enjoying the wonderful sights of Oban at night.
Shaun, thank you so much for this. I just wish you would have gotten more shots of Duart and would have gone to Moy castle. But, it was still a very good video. I like to think I was the one that got you to go there as, I had asked if you would in the comments of another video. My mother is a McClain, and our ancestors hail from Moy. I will probably never get to go there, so this video may be the closest I get. It looks so beautiful there, and I'll bet it's even more so in the summer. Thank you again Shaun. Take care.
Aye, there's Talisker on the shelf. Must be a great place to stay if they've got Talisker! Enjoyed the video as ever, Shaun. Thanks for taking us along!
19:36 ah, looked it up, Isle of Mull hotel is very close to the ferry terminal....looks like you can take a train to Oban, then a ferry to Craignure and the hotel you're talking about is right in the vicinity. Wonder if there's a bus or something that goes around the island. 🙂
Stumbled across you channel (Bravo!) as well as just got back from Scotland with visits to Oban and Mull! Mull has definitely a highlight of the entire trip including the distillery tour at Tobermory. I can just close my eyes and smell the brine/smoke of the Lediag 10😍. I Enjoy your channel and your country very much! Slàinte Mhath😀
I lived in Scotland my whole life and never stepped foot on the Isle of Iona, or Mull. I actually do have to go to the Isle of Iona because my ancestor King Malcolm of Scotland is buried there. Thank you for showcasing this beautiful island Shaun. Edit - Am so glad you included that wee bit about the connection between Tobermory and Balamory. My boy, who's now 19 years old, used to sing "Babamoby" when he was a tot, roughly aroon 2 year old. Will never forget Miss Hoolie, Josie Jump, Archie, etc etc - all the characters from the tv show. Was definitely for pre-schoolers. Also, just another wee point Shaun - that was so dangerous doing that on that boat. My heart was in my throat there watching you doing that - oaft! I used to work at the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine, way back in the year 2000 and I would take visitors on tours around the pontoons, the shipyard workers flat, through the linthouse and the biggest attraction at the time was the burned "Carrick" - I could only take people on that boat, to certain parts of it and had to say, don't go to that bit or that bit 'cause it's no safe and you could fall through. So aye, defo don't try this at home LOL. If you're interested in monasteries, the Kilwinning Abbey was built by monks. It's also the town that has the very first ever Mother Lodge which has been looked after for a good few hundred years now. Interesting for a wee swatch around the place. If you ever go to Kilwinning, Scots Cafe is great for a bite to eat.
Looks like it was a great adventure. You've added another "I must see" sites to my growing list. Thanks for taking the time of video your trip and sharing.
Loved the locations and very cool beach and ferry ride! We plan on visiting Oban this summer 😊 if everything for our trip works out! By the way, we are your Brazilian fans who live in Texas, wishing we were in Scotland! Lol 😂 Great video, thanks Shaun!
I really enjoyed this video Shaun, having a lazy breakfast in bed looking at Mull as l do every day, lucky me. The hotel looks great, l think l must get on a boat and visit. Iona is a beautiful place, well worth a visit. Obans sunsets are truly some of the best, shame it rained for you. I know, folk say it always rains in Oban 😁 Thanks again take care, Alioban
@@shaunvlog Hi Shaun, l live in Oban. We overlook the bay and Kerera nearby, and Mull shows us the on coming weather. When theres snow on Mull its cold in Oban😁 l can see Lismore and Morven, right from where im sitting now. Absolutely love it. lve been having a recky at the hotel, it looks fab. Loved the video, cheers Alison
@@alisonlyons4691 sounds wonderful Alison. Oban is one of my favourite wee towns. My folks live on the other side of the water at Ardnamurchan - it’s worth going for a daytrip to that hotel sometimes for the swimming pool, spa and dinner!
It is really lovely there where you are staying. All charged up as well, which is great being so far away. Abandoned fishing boats, etc. yes go on boat if you’d like. Nice, Shaun. But scary, I’d not do it though at my age.
Caramba Shaun, você fala muito em seus vídeos, te conheci pelo canal da Angie e já me inscrevi. Um dos primeiros locais que vou visitar quando for pra Europa será a Escócia, amo este país.
I'm inspired by most of your Edinburgh videos as I love the town (been there 35 times in 16 years) but this had me sold on an idea I had to go to Iona and it has me booked for a 3 day visit with the goal of swimming on Port Ban Beach Iona in Sep '22!!
I loved this vlog. Beautiful scenery! There is a pretty fishing village in Canada 8 have been to called Tobermory but not as lovely as your Tobermory. I would love to live in one of the colorful homes!
The Isle of Mull! That area is where my Grand Dad is from! Now that is awsome on a stick! In fact most of my family is from the Mull-Lock Lomond area, with some Uncles and Aunts nearby. I went to visit the area about 6 or 7 years ago. The Isles with the Puffins was a favorite stop for photographing Puffins. There was one little Puffin that followed me around. One type of bird would bully the Puffins which is why they stayed close to people for protection. We loved Tobormory and there is a lot to experience in the islands. I wanted to head further North to see the Northern Lights but didn't have time. We were looking for more family sites, so I'll have to plan another trip to see more of the area. Glasgow and Edinburgh has so much history. And I'll have to see more of the area just to see more of the history since I am a history nut. My Clan affiliation is the MacLean of Duart. So we signed the Roster when we visitd the Castle. My youngest daughter loved the history since she is a High School History Teacher. If you haven't visited the castle, they have a lot restored with a lot of the weapons displayed like pole axes, swords, armor, etc. It is great to see all the weapons in good condition. Thanks Shaun for the video of the area and on the next visit perhaps we could meet and go to the tour of Duart, my treat. Little did I expect the area to be so close together. If you make back to the states you have to stay with us. We are near to the Kings Mountain Battlefield where Ferguson was killed. The Battlefield is a easy day trip and Ferguson's grave is well marked. One of his rifles (Ferguson Rifle) is on display at the museum. Perhaps we can catch the battle reenactment at the same time.
Goodness me. So many great things in this. Loved it entirely. Look at you, wild Scottish lad, climbing up on the magnificent rotting boat! Lovely food. Lovely land. Lovely people. I'm putting it on my list for next summer. I'm going to watch it again and jot a few things down, with the help of Google Maps. Thanks Shaun!! You're a wonderment! Teka is looking healthy and hale, as well! Best good wishes to all!
I think you might want to visit Tobermory, Ontario if you get to Canada in the future. Although it isn't on an island you can take boat tours by Flowerpot Island and a Ferry to Manitoulin Island.
McCaigs Tower. That brings a very long ago memory. Must be 47 years ago. My NSU scooter and 16 years old, drive Glasgow to Oban, no plan, no money. Sleep rough out open below tower, and it rained. Never been back. Oh well ...
I should have spent more time on Mull. But we took the ferry from Oban, drove across the island, went to Iona, then came back. I need to spend more time in the Scottish isles. BTW I have no Scottish ancestry. But since I was young I wish I did. Did a presentation when I was in Boy Scouts about Scotland and Scottish culture, because I thought (still think) it’s the coolest place on earth.
Cheers Shaun, it's always nice to see some of these places that are local to me - from different eyes. I did a piece on the rainforest if you're interested, it's in the channel 😀 Keep on keepin' on
Your photography is spectacular in all my favorite places. On a Tobermory distillery tour in 2016 our guide took great pains to give us the proper pronunciation of Ledaig. It's lay-chick. Kilchurn castle has been pronounced Kill kern or Kill earn by locals. Just so you know. Those of us watching and listening want to get it right. ❤
Shaun, hate to tell you this but Nashville has forecast for rain all next week! But in the 80's F. Hope you go somewhere sunny & hope to see videos while you are in the US. Be safe! 😊🇺🇲
OH WOW that is looking great. I like that Church .. old buildings, castles in general. Beautiful view. I would have done the same cause i am a Pirate ;-) That is looking cool. Of Course it is not Italy. It is so hot there. Alert: Claire is in Danger. Such a touching ending. Bring the Whiskey.. i am sad now. Ok no Spoilers but please review Season 6 Episode 7 next time ! The last few episodes were ...oh my Godness i have no Words. #SavetheSassenach!
Great drone shots. What month did you go there? We are going to Mull next week. This was more of a hotel review, than a review of Mull. Would like to have seen more of the island.
My Clan is associated with the McCleans....McClellan....Duart Castle is ours! (I don't have a key) Sean Connery's Mom was a McClean and we are both from the same roots....there are pics of Sean standing in a kilt outside Duart Castle....thanks, for taking me there!!! hopefully, one day, I'll get to go....
Boa Noite Amigo!! Somos a Família do Motorhome Pérola Negra chegando pra acompanhar e prestigiar vc👍🥰🙌 Será um prazer se nos visitar🥰 Grande Abraço🤗Tamo Junto🤜🤛
Thanks for sharing this Shaun, long-time fan and loved this episode. Tbh, I'm studying to be a professor of Scottish history (when not doing fantasy-videos!), and found this an invaluable video (as all of your videos are), currently deciding between moving to France, Scotland or the Philippines to teach Scottish Medieval History. I must admit your videos make me wanna move to SL to teach on one of the tiny isles! Love Duart Castle in particular, any chance of an extended video of the castle and Iona pls? Love the history of both, especially Iona! Your video makes me want to move to the Isle of Iona!
Ions is truly special. Unfortunately I’m not a great historian and wouldn’t do it much justice - everything I found came from Wikipedia. But there is a lot of good reading to be had on it 😀
Hi Shaun, i noticed when you enrered the suite for the tour in the mornimg the sign seemed to be in Scots. Do you speak Scots? (correction* don't mind me lol) Espero que continue criando vídeos. Contente maravilhoso. Abraços amigo! -Joe from Canada
My ancestors are buried in the Iona Abbey. I believe his sister was a nun who was killed there on the shores along with Monks during a Viking raid. MacDomhnall (Mac Donald) line were seafaring lairds who pretty much owned and controlled Mull Islay Iona up into Glencoe during 900AD. Even though MacDomhnall married a Viking Norse woman from Orkney, he fought against the Vikings and threw them out of the Islands of Scotland. They had favor with the King of England for a while until Father and Son fought against each other over I think wanting independence from England. Father killed son and I believe the son wanted to continue speaking Scottish Gaelic but father wanted to continue his relationship with the King. So...they're the reason Scotland speaks English and lost most of the language. In the Abbey, I think I heard one of them are buried with their sword. Later those descendents got involved in the first Jacobite rebellion and were put on British slave ship Scripio and made to be slaves in New World 1719 as the first Scots to land. :) When I look at Iona...for some reason my heart says -- That's home.
@🏴 Shaun أصحابك في هالفيديو، هنه بيحكو غيليكي ولا لا ؟ ع كل، يسلم أيديك لهالفيديو Your friends in this video ,they speak Gaelic or no ? Anyway, Thank you for this video
Wow. Nearly a grand a month if all are on the lowest tier. That just for patreonage. I work full time and can't afford a holiday. Honestly, these TH-camrs are all living the dream. Maybe I should give up teaching and go holidaying. Yes, I am bitter and jealous. I never used to be. Lol.
Why? There’s no obligation. It’s for those who can afford it. And you should become a youtuber - you’ll see how much hard work and dedication goes into it. This video, for example, took me 10 hours to edit.

My "MacFadyn" family came from Mull.
Of course this was centuries ago.
The island had a MacFadyn chieftain.
Would like to make it there before my time is up.
My avatar photo was taken on a dreich day at Kilchurn and I am standing at the castle door, oddly enough. I loved this video, Shaun!

I felt as if I were there with ya'll. Thank you so very much for taking us along. Looking forward to the next adventure you have for us. Take care! God bless!
Thank you very much Cathy I very much appreciate this kind comment ☺️

I went for a visit to Oban in March and visited Mull and Iona. So beautiful 😍

Such a beautiful country! I love your drone shots with the “bird’s eye view”! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you for showing this - beautiful. We had tickets for the ferry to visit there in 2020, and of course, travel was cancelled due to covid. I hope before too long to be able to visit, and feel the atmosphere for ourselves.
So beautiful! I was lucky to go to Iona and this area while on tour for my college's choir. Iona Abbey was truly incredible to sing in!
big man loves a big mirror haha! class video mate looking forward to my trip here over the weekend.
I just booked my stay! Thanks for the video, would have never knew about it. Can't wait!
Hello there from America, Shaun.
I am enjoying book 3 of The Isle of Mull series by Hugh Rae written under the name of Jessica Stirling.
Of course, these lovely stories make me want to see and learn more of the romantic and rustic lands of Mull so how lucky for me that you posted a video showing off this beautiful Island.
Thank you so very much and be blessed ❤
Wow! So many fantastic places to visit. Great video footage!
I can’t wait to return to this wonderful place! On the trip back from Mull on the last ferry for the day, I was the only person on the top deck enjoying the wonderful sights of Oban at night.
Loved this. So much to see that I watched it twice...
Shaun, thank you so much for this. I just wish you would have gotten more shots of Duart and would have gone to Moy castle. But, it was still a very good video.

Aye, there's Talisker on the shelf. Must be a great place to stay if they've got Talisker! Enjoyed the video as ever, Shaun. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for this. We're visiting Mull this summer so starting our research.
Might try and book dinner at the hotel. The food looks amazing.
This was so nice to watch sitting down after work with a cold one..thank you..😊
Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed it 😀
And cheers 🍻
Big fan of the Isle of Mull, climbed Ben More in the cold rain. Would love to have seen it in the sun. Took the ferry r/t from Oban. Great video!
Thank you Shaun for sharing this. I really appreciate all your vlogs of Scotland and all your adventures👍❤️💕🤗
Thank you very much Barbara 😀
Scotland truly is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
19:36 ah, looked it up, Isle of Mull hotel is very close to the ferry terminal....looks like you can take a train to Oban, then a ferry to Craignure and the hotel you're talking about is right in the vicinity. Wonder if there's a bus or something that goes around the island. 🙂
Isle of Mull is now on my bucket list. What a beautiful place! The highland snow was also stunning!(never seen snow).
Stumbled across you channel (Bravo!) as well as just got back from Scotland with visits to Oban and Mull! Mull has definitely a highlight of the entire trip including the distillery tour at Tobermory. I can just close my eyes and smell the brine/smoke of the Lediag 10😍.

Perfect timing, I'm getting ready for my return to Scotland. Staying in Oban.
I lived in Scotland my whole life and never stepped foot on the Isle of Iona, or Mull. I actually do have to go to the Isle of Iona because my ancestor King Malcolm of Scotland is buried there. Thank you for showcasing this beautiful island Shaun.
Edit - Am so glad you included that wee bit about the connection between Tobermory and Balamory. My boy, who's now 19 years old, used to sing "Babamoby" when he was a tot, roughly aroon 2 year old. Will never forget Miss Hoolie, Josie Jump, Archie, etc etc - all the characters from the tv show. Was definitely for pre-schoolers.

I used to work at the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine, way back in the year 2000 and I would take visitors on tours around the pontoons, the shipyard workers flat, through the linthouse and the biggest attraction at the time was the burned "Carrick" - I could only take people on that boat, to certain parts of it and had to say, don't go to that bit or that bit 'cause it's no safe and you could fall through. So aye, defo don't try this at home LOL.
If you're interested in monasteries, the Kilwinning Abbey was built by monks. It's also the town that has the very first ever Mother Lodge which has been looked after for a good few hundred years now. Interesting for a wee swatch around the place. If you ever go to Kilwinning, Scots Cafe is great for a bite to eat.

So beautiful!! Tysm!! I haven't seen a few videos and I forget how lovely it is there.. its on my bucket list!!!
Hope you make it over here

Wow! Another fantastic trip! Thanks, Shaun.

By the way, we are your Brazilian fans who live in Texas, wishing we were in Scotland! Lol 😂
Great video, thanks Shaun!

@@justa.american8303 thank you very much sounds like you had an amazing stay here 😀
I'm visiting Easdale on Monday. Maybe the smallest island?
Wow! Another great video ...thanks!
Oh wow that’s awesome - I’ve never been but must be beautiful
Goodness me. So many great things in this. Loved it entirely. Look at you, wild Scottish lad, climbing up on the magnificent rotting boat! Lovely food. Lovely land. Lovely people. I'm putting it on my list for next summer. I'm going to watch it again and jot a few things down, with the help of Google Maps. Thanks Shaun!! You're a wonderment! Teka is looking healthy and hale, as well! Best good wishes to all!
Thank you so much Rich I appreciate you
😊
The channel Time Team which is a group of british archaeologists did a video about excavating the sight of the chapel. love your channel.
Oh wow I’ll need to check that out - thank you 😊
Planned to visit Scotland and it's many isles before the "plague," but this is the closest I'll get for now...thanks for sharing!!
Hope you can make it
Did kayak around mull and the outer Islands. Great place...
29:18 I can see Duncan MacLeod, the Immortal Highlander, having a sword fight with another Immortal on those boats lol
What a treat to watch ... wow. Thank you for sharing this with us. Hope you found it worth the trip ... had you been to Iona before? Beautiful.
Thank you very much - I’ve been to Iona a few times before and am always enchanted by it ☺️
Woohoooooooo, estava esperando ansiosamente por este vídeo. Pois te conheci através dessa viagem com a Angie(apure guria) e o Jean (fogo gauderio).
Eeebaaaa 😀 obrigado pra acompanhar a gente 😀😀😀
I think it's so stunning! Isn't there a monetary there to? A newer one?
Hi Shaun, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA! Love your Vlogs / Vids especially since you are in the Motherland at the moment.
Jim McCree
Cheers Jim glad you like them
Love it!!
I think you might want to visit Tobermory, Ontario if you get to Canada in the future. Although it isn't on an island you can take boat tours by Flowerpot Island and a Ferry to Manitoulin Island.
100% great idea - I’ll need to come for a visit
@@shaunvlog they also have Bruce Peninsula National Park nearby too.
@@shaunvlog you might also like Kincardine, Ontario's pipe band to the south of there too.
Beautiful country!
Love this I'm coming to Oban July great timing
That’s great hope you have a good time
McCaigs Tower. That brings a very long ago memory. Must be 47 years ago. My NSU scooter and 16 years old, drive Glasgow to Oban, no plan, no money. Sleep rough out open below tower, and it rained. Never been back. Oh well ...
It’s quite a wild part of the country to sleep under the rain haha
Grateful!!!🏴🇺🇸
Thanks - I’m going there sooon
Oooh..fresh langustines...so jealous Shaun! Great trip!
Cheers Russ, they were delicious
I should have spent more time on Mull. But we took the ferry from Oban, drove across the island, went to Iona, then came back. I need to spend more time in the Scottish isles. BTW I have no Scottish ancestry. But since I was young I wish I did. Did a presentation when I was in Boy Scouts about Scotland and Scottish culture, because I thought (still think) it’s the coolest place on earth.
Ahh I’m glad you got to see Iona anyway - it’s a special wee place
Cheers Shaun, it's always nice to see some of these places that are local to me - from different eyes.
I did a piece on the rainforest if you're interested, it's in the channel 😀
Keep on keepin' on
The decks of the ferry remind me of the decks of our steamboat, the Belle of Louisville. I expected to hear a steam whistle and a calliope play!
Your photography is spectacular in all my favorite places. On a Tobermory distillery tour in 2016 our guide took great pains to give us the proper pronunciation of Ledaig. It's lay-chick. Kilchurn castle has been pronounced Kill kern or Kill earn by locals. Just so you know. Those of us watching and listening want to get it right. ❤
Shaun, hate to tell you this but Nashville has forecast for rain all next week! But in the 80's F. Hope you go somewhere sunny & hope to see videos while you are in the US. Be safe! 😊🇺🇲
OH WOW that is looking great. I like that Church .. old buildings, castles in general. Beautiful view. I would have done the same cause i am a Pirate ;-) That is looking cool. Of Course it is not Italy. It is so hot there.
Alert: Claire is in Danger. Such a touching ending. Bring the Whiskey.. i am sad now. Ok no Spoilers but please review Season 6 Episode 7 next time ! The last few episodes were ...oh my Godness i have no Words. #SavetheSassenach!
Great drone shots. What month did you go there? We are going to Mull next week. This was more of a hotel review, than a review of Mull. Would like to have seen more of the island.
Apurê Guria showed there.. I watch this channel .. lol
If you don't know it, watch the 1945 film "I Know Where I'm Going". Some of the filming was done in Tobermory
Wow I had no idea - I’ll need to look it up
"that there is venison with haggis on top" ...would love to try
It was awesome
Could you visit Scottish Breweries and focus on the differences in how they make Scotch whiskey?
The dull hull fell upon the Isle of Mull said the lulled gull. I'm a poet and didn't know it.
Did you need reservations for all the ferry’s to get to Iona ? Thank you in advance
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Oban was also home to Clan McDougall, right?
Thank you and yes, I believe so ⚔️
The 500 is coming up and I guarantee you'll enjoy it
My Clan is associated with the McCleans....McClellan....Duart Castle is ours! (I don't have a key) Sean Connery's Mom was a McClean and we are both from the same roots....there are pics of Sean standing in a kilt outside Duart Castle....thanks, for taking me there!!! hopefully, one day, I'll get to go....
Boa Noite Amigo!!
Somos a Família do Motorhome Pérola Negra chegando pra acompanhar e prestigiar vc👍🥰🙌
Será um prazer se nos visitar🥰 Grande Abraço🤗Tamo Junto🤜🤛
Is that Farquharson ancient tartan?
If I'm ever able to come over to see Scotland, I've wondered if anyone rents Segways, since I can't walk well, and would want to be our and about?
Thanks for sharing this Shaun, long-time fan and loved this episode. Tbh, I'm studying to be a professor of Scottish history (when not doing fantasy-videos!), and found this an invaluable video (as all of your videos are), currently deciding between moving to France, Scotland or the Philippines to teach Scottish Medieval History. I must admit your videos make me wanna move to SL to teach on one of the tiny isles!
Love Duart Castle in particular, any chance of an extended video of the castle and Iona pls? Love the history of both, especially Iona! Your video makes me want to move to the Isle of Iona!
Ions is truly special. Unfortunately I’m not a great historian and wouldn’t do it much justice - everything I found came from Wikipedia. But there is a lot of good reading to be had on it 😀
Clicked here because I thought it said “Maui”. Do Maui next please. ;-)
Loch Allen, or loch àlainn?
Hi Shaun, i noticed when you enrered the suite for the tour in the mornimg the sign seemed to be in Scots. Do you speak Scots? (correction* don't mind me lol)
Espero que continue criando vídeos. Contente maravilhoso. Abraços amigo!
-Joe from Canada
Scots and Gaelic are different - I think the sign was gaelic but I don’t speak it at all - not that many people do. I do speak Scots tho :)
Excellent Videos, love them. But Shaun, what happened to the Fiat 500? The wife wants to know...
Sold it to buy my new car - and thank you 😊
My ancestors are buried in the Iona Abbey. I believe his sister was a nun who was killed there on the shores along with Monks during a Viking raid. MacDomhnall (Mac Donald) line were seafaring lairds who pretty much owned and controlled Mull Islay Iona up into Glencoe during 900AD. Even though MacDomhnall married a Viking Norse woman from Orkney, he fought against the Vikings and threw them out of the Islands of Scotland. They had favor with the King of England for a while until Father and Son fought against each other over I think wanting independence from England. Father killed son and I believe the son wanted to continue speaking Scottish Gaelic but father wanted to continue his relationship with the King. So...they're the reason Scotland speaks English and lost most of the language. In the Abbey, I think I heard one of them are buried with their sword. Later those descendents got involved in the first Jacobite rebellion and were put on British slave ship Scripio and made to be slaves in New World 1719 as the first Scots to land. :) When I look at Iona...for some reason my heart says -- That's home.
Is this where mulberries come from?
10:34 wow, 560 AD nice. 😲
@🏴 Shaun
أصحابك في هالفيديو، هنه بيحكو غيليكي ولا لا ؟
ع كل، يسلم أيديك لهالفيديو
Your friends in this video ,they speak Gaelic or no ?
Anyway, Thank you for this video
No they are from Brazil and speaking Portuguese 🇧🇷
Helo
Yo
Kilchurn is pronounced Kil ch (as in ‘loch’) hoorn
this video was so good, could have done all islands , instead he goes USA :/
Boo Columba....Re-Wild Scotsmen!
Would have to wind the clock quite far back
@@shaunvlog It's my theory that it lays there just below the surface-It's what makes them great!
Shaun, you really need to work on camera-work. Don't make us seasick!
As soon as I see Patreon, I X off. Sick of it.
Wow. Nearly a grand a month if all are on the lowest tier. That just for patreonage. I work full time and can't afford a holiday. Honestly, these TH-camrs are all living the dream. Maybe I should give up teaching and go holidaying. Yes, I am bitter and jealous. I never used to be. Lol.
Why? There’s no obligation. It’s for those who can afford it. And you should become a youtuber - you’ll see how much hard work and dedication goes into it. This video, for example, took me 10 hours to edit.
Hmm your very noncey
