Would you take the boat trip inside the Corryvreckan Whirlpool?! Here's the link if you'd like to try out Shokz headphones for yourself: shokz.cc/RuthAisling
@@ruthaisling Ruth, I think you are very brave: spending nights alone in bothies and haunted caves, wild camping . . . there is no end to your love of adventure. But be careful with the red deer -- watch out for the stags in the rutting season. They prefer blondes . . .
Ruth, I'd recommend you search out a 1945 film 'I Know where I'm Going' A love story, it features a small boat battling the Corryvreckan whirlpool as a key part of the plot. The film itself is steeped in folklore and captures the etheral, almost mystical sense of the Scottish Isles. Great video. Thank you.
Love that film. The journey on the sleeper train takes me to memories when l travelled to stay with my granny in the Highlands every school holiday. Though did go by car sometimes. ❤
@@ruthaisling it’s my favorite offering from Ardbeg. It’s has like a peppered steak taste from the smoke that changes into a coffee and black fruit finish. It’s very very good. I definitely recommend trying it when you have a chance.
The reasons for there being no woodland stem indirectly from the Act of Union. 1. The huge Caledonian Forest was gradually cut down to provide timber for the wooden warships of the growing 'British" navy, not just timber for the actual frames, decks and planking but also for the masts and spars, etc. The trees were cut and floated down rivers to the coast. And of course the British navy was huge. 2. Following the Jacobite risings we had the clearings. The indigenous people and their ragged cattle were cleared from the land to make way for sheep (which eat the tops out of young saplings, and for sporting estates for the new rich (industrial revolution) - they paid gamekeepers to annually carry out planned burnings of the hills and moors to provide new growth heather for grouse to feed on.
andyallan2909 -- that is all very true. Also, it is said that all the trees in Fife were cut down to build the Great Michael for James IV's navy. It was the largest warship of its day, and put the fear of god into the English. Incidentally, much of the Black Forest was cut down and floated down the Rhine to build ships for the Dutch East India Company, Holland being somewhat deficient in the forestry department. The Germans had the good sense to replant it.
Most enjoyable, and informative, episode. The whirlpool was neat, but the rugged remote Jura segments were my favorite. So beautiful. Thanks for taking us along on another Scottish adventure.
Love your videos! Really look forward to them every Sunday evening. Reminds me of my younger days in Scotland - great times. I think all videos should be narrated with a beautiful soft Scottish Edinburgh lilt- look forward to the next one as ever.
Excellent episode Ruth!! So glad you got to make the boat trip to see the whirlpools up close & ride in them. Thank you so much for sharing your experience on your channel!! 😀😀
You can often hear the Corry before you see it. We grew up in Ardfern. If you walk from there towards Aird there's a beautiful view across Scarba too. Please visit a place called Gemmel, even if you don't vlog It, its incredibly beautiful. The Corry can also be seen from there. It's so wonderful to see where I grew up. Thank you
What a treat it is when a new video of yours arrives!! All thoughts of holidays abroad are banished after watching you showcasing beautiful, wild Scotland :)
That’s a good hike Ruth 7 miles, right now I am two weeks into recovery from a knee replacement op. I hope to be out walking in the near future , it’s nice to watch you out exploring our beautiful wee country ❤️
Hi Ruth thanks for the video.This was very interesting and hearing about the whirlpool was great, can only imagine how dangerous it could be if anyone was caught up in them. 👍👍👍👍
Once sailed through Corryvreckan. Our speed increased from 14 knots to 22 knots whilst caught in the tidal flow. Then going against the flow it decreased to just 11.
Excellent video, Ruth! great scenery, great camerawork and a great commentary and explanations. So good, I don't need to go there now. As a student I worked at Lough Aline for the BGS many years ago and loved the beautiful scenery of the deep inlets. The postman used to row across the sound in all weathers which was rather alarming! Thank you!
I've used Shokz headphones for years. I'm a decorator and got fed up of my headphones falling in my paint. I searched and found shokz. Great headphones.
You are 1 of my favorite TH-camrs! This is an incredible video, Ruth‼️😱 Thanx so much for taking us with you!! Remarkable scenery & what an awesome / breathtaking experience!! Always ready for you to upload a new vid. Safe travels & best wishes / stay safe!! ❤️
Just seen your vlog and I can confirm that there is much fun to be had in the Corryvrecken Races! I went in there with a 21 foot rib and a 150 horse power engine. When I went it was on a spring tide, the whirlpools roar! There were plenty of dolphins in the water. Be careful and watchout for standing waves. We measured the current at 8.5 knots! Thanks for your vlog, it was excellent!
Lovely Vlog again Ruth. The content and camera work you put in, as you always do, is seamless and flows through your journey , showcasing the beauties of Jura. The whirlpool is amazing and really interesting how it is formed. What a great hike with a lunch well earned. Loved seeing the deer. I live near the New Forest and I’m always thrilled to see the deer and ponies running free. Lovely boat trip and the dolphins, what a treat and a fantastic sight. Would love to experience the sights and the whirlpool on the boat. Well done again Ruth Thank You for sharing
Yes, the whole island should be covered with trees, maybe a little stunted and windblown in places, but growing nevertheless. Less sheep and more trees. Nakd bars are excellent and vegan. '1984' is one of the best books ever written and can be applied to what's happening today... psychologically I think we're all in the whirlpools of Corryvreckan. Glad you enjoyed the trip and had great weather.
Ruth, I can imagine the Coryvreckan Whirlpool getting pretty fierce, if tides are right! In your rundown of world's biggest whirlpools, I thought you were going to mention that one monster off the coast of Japan --- forget exactly where it is right now, but Kuga-san of Kuga's Travels did a great piece on it, and even very powerful boats had a great deal of trouble getting into an out of it!
Brilliant video Ruth, your enthusiasm throughout is great to hear. I certainly would go on the boat into the whirlpool, weather conditions for you were fantastic, what’s not to like. 😄🏴
Thank you so much for this episode. My eldest son worked on Jura for one of the owners there. He said it was one if not the most beautiful place he had worked. I had to make do with his photos and stories, you managed to bring it alive. As usual a fantastic episode.
Spectacular! Such beautiful Scenery & Views of this amazing Whirlpool.The Boat Tour looked really exciting as well! I'm so glad you didn't get 'sucked into' the Whirlpool & you had such a fun & exciting Boat Trip. That was amazing! I also loved seeing the jolly dolphins that escorted you across the waters there. So cute & playful! As well as the lovely 'white tailed' deer you spotted on the way there. I also just love their ears! They really are so elegant! Thanks for sharing another wonderful experience! Blessings to you Ruth!
This whirlpool was featured in an excellent 1945 film called "I know where I'm Going" starring Wendy Hiller and Roger Livesey. Great movie. This might be a great title for your travel vids!
I was there thursday on a trip, there was a pair of white tailed sea eagles over the corryvreckan when we were out, we all got great weather on the west coast last week!
Ruth, what a brilliant trip this was sharing Jura and the whirlpool. I never knew of this place before. I always learn so much from your channel, and wish my Dad (who would now be 98 years old) was still alive to learn with me. Good luck with your travel group - I wish I could have signed up - but hopefully the next trip! Have a good Sunday...aka Nancy Alison
Thanks very much Nancy, no worries about the group trip! I'll be posting lots more videos her eon TH-cam for you to enjoy. It's so nice you have connections to so many places in Scotland!
Wow what an incredible couple of days. How fabulous to see the whirl pools from above and actually in the water. You can tell how brilliant it was from your last comments at the end of your video. Your enthusiasm and face expression tell all!! Just super. x
Hi Ruth, it’s only me, thank you for putting up this Vlog/video so quickly after seeing your one yesterday ~ as you know I love your channel and I get to go run parts of Scotland that I know now I will never see - I love your content and your filming and photography is great - I hope you have a good week - sending loads of love and hugs as always ~ Xxx Xxx
Hi Ruth, another great episode, if you are on jura be very careful with tics, because of the numbers of deer on the island there are a lot of tics. ~I've sailed through the Corryvreckan on a boat trip from easdale, quite scary but very exciting. thanks for your work and stay safe.
I just love your explorations Ruth, the areas of Scotland you travel around are just breathtaking! Wish I could see them in person as well! Thanks from San Diego!
Some day i will fall in love with a Scottish woman i am Italiano but will see what happens some day😮 great channel keep it up you precious angel and jewel of this earth
Oh wow! Did they leave Scotland for North Carolina? I read a plaque at the beach there last year about how they loaded the boats which left for North Carolina. I suggest you to watch the other video I made about Jura so you can see the beach, maybe that’s the exact point your ancestors left from!
Another great video. Loved the whirlpools. You can only imagine what they would like with the spring tides. Seemed expensive, but to get an experience like that. Thanks for sharing the experience.
It's funny, I always used to think Corryvreckan was near Islay due to Ardbeg naming one of their whiskies 'Corryvreckan' ha ha. Fantastic video, that's my curiosity fulfilled.
Wow. !!!!! As someone who isn't as young as she was 😂 I am no longer able to hike or climb like I used to in The Highlands and on the islands. We still travel way up north because we love it, but are only able to stroll. Therefore I love watching your videos, dreaming that I am you.!!!! This particular one was marvellous.
Ruth. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, and would like to say how much I am enjoying it. I love the content and information that you give and the way in which you present it. I never realised that Scotland had so many beautiful places and outstanding scenery. Would you ever consider touring the Lake District?
Thanks you very much Rob! Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos. Maybe someday but at the moment I’m most interested to explore more of Scotland, still so much to see!
I took a similar, albeit shorter, trip with Islay Sea Adventures in May during Feis Ile 2024, and it was magical. Sipping Islay whisky while exploring the beauty of Islay's and Jura's coasts was amazing. Thank you, Ruth.
Wow Ruth that was fantastic to be so close to the whirlpools .What an expirience!!!. You have seen them from two different angles (sea and land) and taken us along so a huge thank you for that. ❤❤❤❤Regards from Malta
Hi Ruth. It was great to see the whirlpools and the dolphins!! What a wonderful experience for you 😊 Thank you Ruth that was very informative and helpful 😊
I love your enthusiasm, Ruth! It's so much fun watching you enjoy Scotland and its many, many wonders. One day I hope I can go to the Island of Jura and see the whirlpools myself. In the meantime, I'll just keep watching your videos and loving Scotland vicariously through you.
Yes it's possible to sail through the Corryvreckan, you just need to allow for the tide times, sailed by the Corryvercreckan quite a few times but I've never needed to sail through it.
Lovely video, Ruth, thanks. We went to Jura twice on a trip to Islay last year but didn’t get as far as the whirlpools - did have our 5 year old son with us so not sure that would have been wise. Loved Jura and did say the tide between Islay and Jura is fierce - not sure I have seen anything like it and it was a comparatively calm day when we went over - I wouldn’t imagine it would be an area for an inexperienced sailor! Loved this video and LOVE Jura - definitely a place to go back too - stunning wilderness and just literally magical
Hello Ruth, very interesting video with amazing views to the whirlpool Corryvreckan, Thanks, do you know that there is also a Whisky from Ardbeg called Corryvreckan? Enjoy the Sunday evening. Take care Uwe
@@ruthaisling Yes, I like. I’m a fan of Islay Whisky. You should also try the new one from Ardnahoe distillery. I like too. Cheers or better Slàinte Mhath
Another informative video. You do go to some amazing places, and I always find your videos interesting. Great scenery and love your accent. Thanks from south Wales.
HiRuth! I really enjoy your videos of these beautiful rugged Scottish islands! I must say you are a very brave alone staying alone there and hiking on these remote places! Bravo to you 🎉and thank you so much for sharing and letting us experience such beauty from our homes! Love you Ruth you are a Gem 💎
Shokz…that may be an advert, but I swear by them! I live in Charleston, SC and walk 3mi downtown everyday. The Shokz is just as Ruth says…you can hear everything around you but also music, podcasts, etc perfectly. I’ve used them for 3yrs now. As I said, I swear by them! But how do you not travel without a small pair of binoculars?!
Would you take the boat trip inside the Corryvreckan Whirlpool?!
Here's the link if you'd like to try out Shokz headphones for yourself: shokz.cc/RuthAisling
Large whirlpools are also known as maelstroms apparently.

So nice you’re not bitter.
Beautiful Jura 💚 Where my Granny was born and raised.
Yet another excellent video Ruth 👏👏👏

Aww lovely! Jura is such a nice island
@ruthaisling It looks even better in this glorious spell of weather!
Keep up your magnificent work Ruth, and thank you for all that you do! 🏴
👍

Wow, so excited to witness this with you! One of the best videos of your wonderful collection. What a legacy you are building..
Thank you for your lovely comment!
That’s a good hike Ruth 7 miles, right now I am two weeks into recovery from a knee replacement op. I hope to be out walking in the near future , it’s nice to watch you out exploring our beautiful wee country ❤️

Hi Ruth thanks for the video.This was very interesting and hearing about the whirlpool was great, can only imagine how dangerous it could be if anyone was caught up in them. 👍👍👍👍
I wouldn't like to be in a rowing boat!
Once sailed through Corryvreckan. Our speed increased from 14 knots to 22 knots whilst caught in the tidal flow. Then going against the flow it decreased to just 11.

There were plenty of dolphins in the water.
Be careful and watchout for standing waves.
We measured the current at 8.5 knots!
Thanks for your vlog, it was excellent!
Another fabulous video
Thank you so much Melanie!
What a great video! Your enjoyment of the whirlpool trip was lovely to share.😀
I've done that walk and can highly recommend it. Very few people who actually live on Jura have been to the very north of the island.
It’s a wonderful walk, long long way though!
Lovely Vlog again Ruth. The content and camera work you put in, as you always do, is seamless and flows through your journey , showcasing the beauties of Jura.

Yes, the whole island should be covered with trees, maybe a little stunted and windblown in places, but growing nevertheless. Less sheep and more trees. Nakd bars are excellent and vegan.

@ruthaisling Ha,ha very good point. Machir Bay is so beautiful and the whisky is even better, especially the cask strength.
Saw elsewhere on YT recently that Scotland is a focus of the tidal power experimenters, due to its many strong currents
Interesting!

One very nice blog Ruth thanks for sharing your experience ❤
ルースさん元気で生きていて安心しましたw
知らない内に登録数が増えてびっくりしました。
あのモンキーしょーたさんはマニアックな旅していていつドラブルでアウトになるのかなwみたいな感じですね（笑）
イングランドは本当に自然そのものがたくさん保っていて素晴らしいです。
私は日本しか知らないですが、そちらは自然の中に入ると、何かあっても直ぐに逃げれない様子ですね？
日本は便利すぎるんでしょう？
ルースさんの旅はサバイバルに近い？と感じます。
ルースさんのキャンピングカーで
日本まで来て欲しいです。
ユーラシア大陸の横断！
東の果ての日本まで、、、、
美味しいうどんが待ってますよ！
Excellent video - really enjoyed this a lot!! Thanks for sharing Ruth, I really appreciate it.
Thank you for watching!
Hi Ruth, awesome video these trips are absolutely amazing, brilliant commentary can’t stop watching, Thank You soo much.
Thanks so much, so glad to hear you enjoyed this video!
I love your enthusiasm, Ruth! It's so much fun watching you enjoy Scotland and its many, many wonders. One day I hope I can go to the Island of Jura and see the whirlpools myself. In the meantime, I'll just keep watching your videos and loving Scotland vicariously through you.
Thanks so much Janie! Hope you can visit sometime!!
What an amazing video!!! Awesome as ever...
Great work Ruth
Thank you so much!
Yes it's possible to sail through the Corryvreckan, you just need to allow for the tide times, sailed by the Corryvercreckan quite a few times but I've never needed to sail through it.
Good to know!
Another great film Ruth 👍
This was SO exciting!
Thanks for taking us along.
Awesome thanks Ruth.
Thanks for watching Sean!
Gosh yes, our family crossed the Corryvreckan years ago, thanks for taking us there
Lovely video, Ruth, thanks. We went to Jura twice on a trip to Islay last year but didn’t get as far as the whirlpools - did have our 5 year old son with us so not sure that would have been wise. Loved Jura and did say the tide between Islay and Jura is fierce - not sure I have seen anything like it and it was a comparatively calm day when we went over - I wouldn’t imagine it would be an area for an inexperienced sailor! Loved this video and LOVE Jura - definitely a place to go back too - stunning wilderness and just literally magical
Jura is a very special place!
Hello Ruth, very interesting video with amazing views to the whirlpool Corryvreckan, Thanks, do you know that there is also a Whisky from Ardbeg called Corryvreckan? Enjoy the Sunday evening.
Take care Uwe
Someone else commented about it, sounds great. I'll give it a try next time I am in a whisky bar. Have you tried it and do you like it?
@@ruthaisling Yes, I like. I’m a fan of Islay Whisky. You should also try the new one from Ardnahoe distillery. I like too. Cheers or better Slàinte Mhath
@@uweh. Ok I will look out for that one also, thank you for the recommendation!
What an amazing trip definitely one for the bucket list thank you for presenting it so well
Glad you enjoyed it!
I appreciate the opportunity to travel with you and enjoying the scenery.
I appreciate you watching, thanks!
I have sailed through the Corryvreckan whirlpools in my yacht. My adrenalin was racing!
Wow I can imagine!!
Wow, what a great adventure and some Islay whisky too. Canna be bad! 😊
Another informative video. You do go to some amazing places, and I always find your videos interesting. Great scenery and love your accent. Thanks from south Wales.
Thank you very much!
HiRuth! I really enjoy your videos of these beautiful rugged Scottish islands! I must say you are a very brave alone staying alone there and hiking on these remote places!

Thanks for watching Barbara!
Hi Ruth! What a Pleasant Travelloge you present! Very relaxing!
Many thanks!
Shokz…that may be an advert, but I swear by them! I live in Charleston, SC and walk 3mi downtown everyday. The Shokz is just as Ruth says…you can hear everything around you but also music, podcasts, etc perfectly.
I’ve used them for 3yrs now. As I said, I swear by them!
But how do you not travel without a small pair of binoculars?!
I love mine too! I’ve been using them everyday! Haha if I want to see far I usually use my zoom camera lens. I can see things up very close 😊
That was a thrill - thank you for sharing your trip with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
