I've been to the northernmost Munro - Ben Hope, the Mull of Galloway with an expert friend who could point out all the birdies, and Ardnamurchan years ago.
Always well put together your videos, The drone footage, the driving in car, And the fantastic voice-overs, The information and history, bloody brilliant, Ruth, 👍 Who needs 📺 when great things like this is on TH-cam,
Hi Ruth. I was up on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in May in my wee van "Myfanwy" and stayed next to Callum and Rox for two nights. What a lovely couple they are, they made me most welcome. In the evenings, we had a few wee drams and food cooked on the campfire, and the only sounds were drumming snipe and bleating sheep, bliss. The peninsula is so remote and quiet, I love it. I'm planning another trip up there in October. Great video as usual, Ruth.
They mentioned to me that you'd been to visit! It sounds like you all had a great time. The wee camp fire they have is brilliant, I hope you enjoyed your drams!
Ruth! We can’t believe it, we’ve just got back from Ardnamurchan only yesterday after a 3 week holiday…….we stayed at Greenwood Retreat only a short drive from the distillery. ….. your video was brilliant…… we’ve followed your channel for a while now because of our love for Scotland (we live in Lancashire)….. we actually watched your latest video before this one while we were away!…. We spent many hours at Ben Hiant and walked the path to the beach….. the ice-cream and sausage rolls at the Salen Jetty shop were beyond amazing….. the timing of your video is uncanny…….thanks for showing this beautiful area we now love……John my husband is currently joining your Patreon while I’m messaging you……. Thanks for your lovely channel …… Jan and John xx❤xx
Oh wow, what a coincidence! It sounds like you had an amazing time there. I’ll need to try that ice cream if I go back again! Thank you very much for joining the Patreon, I hope you enjoy the extra content on there! ❤️
@@ruthaisling I’m sure we will thank you….. we’re really enjoying your channel and you’re very inspiring and so helpful with details about travelling around Scotland…….we love the way you go to bakeries etc because we do exactly the same!…..we really felt for you when you were sick on the ferry crossing and bit by the dog …… thanks for all you do xx❤xx
I love your videos, Ruth! I really enjoy Scotland’s remote places too! My wife & I lived in Scotland from 2006-2010, and did a ton of touring. But places we never got to, you’ve allowed us to visit! Like Raasay, off Skye! And now, Ardnamurchan! I always wanted to get there, but never succeeded. So, thanks SO MUCH. I love your pace, and manner of speaking!
Ms Aisling that was an absolute pleasure to watch. I particularly enjoyed meeting the couple you visited and the distillery tour. I love professionalism in whatever field it is exhibited. If one is lucky enough as perhaps few are to do a job or live a life you love it behoves a gentleman or gentle lady to do it well. If I may be so forward Ruth you are doing splendidly. With thanks.
@@ruthaisling Dear Ms Aisling I had recommended your vlog to one of my oldest friends who had toured Scotland, all of it! in his Dutch friend's campervan. There was a similarity of adventure. He offered me a Roland for my Oliver and linked me to a canal vlogger. The mindful navigator, I recommend it. Nothing happens but paradoxically everything does. Both you and her live a life I could not live. I am glad somebody does live it. I am a city boy who once housed hundreds whilst working for Shelter. I don't envy, I have no reason to, I too was a damnably good professional. I may take something from your travels, it's called joy. For which my thanks Ruth. I have finished my brief expedition to sample Irish whiskey. I have a miniature Scottish single malt which I will shortly open and toast you and all adventurers, past, present and future. Here's to us all Ruth. Here's to us all.
Fascinating! I've never seen such an in depth distillery tour. Your videos make me homesick for Scotland, even though it's been almost 60 years since I've lived in Scotland. Give my best to Callum, he obviously likes what he is doing.
I totally enjoyed this video. Roxanne and Callum seem very nice and friendly. Callum was very generous with the tour and his knowledge. I scanned the bottles QR code on the screen. I’ll look for Ardnamurchan Whiskey here locally.
I never want your videos to end. So enjoyable. I'm learning so much about Scotland and my oh my, all those different types of Whiskey! Really enjoy watching. Thanks for making and posting.
@@johnhealy4233 Sorry - I posted last last night. My son has recently returned to the UK from Tennessee and we were talking about Jack Daniels Whiskey. Not a patch on the real stuff from Scotland!
Hullo from Glasgow, wee Ruthy. We recently were on Loch Shiel and saw Glenfinnan Monument. The Corran ferry is lovely. Really enjoying seeing these places I've been. Love the channel.
Each video gets better than the previous one if it's even possible. Even though my favorites are the ones where you spend the night at mysterious places, lol. Keep on the great work ❤❤❤❤❤
I always think I can be doing something else in my office while I watch your videos but that NEVER works! Whatever I was trying to do gets dropped so I can enjoy only your video. The places you go and the land I get to see is so incredible! I'm getting too old and my husband can't travel anymore but I get to see your wonderful country through YOU! Thank you Ruth 🙂
I really enjoyed this episode of your touring around Scotland Ruth. I have visited the Ardnamurchan peninsula with friends before the distillery was there. I especially enjoyed the tour of the distillery as the core whisky from Ardnamurchan is one of my favourite Scottish single malt whiskies. The style of the core whisky makes me think of Highland Park and Glendronach 12 year olds that I drank in the late 70s / early 80s.
Well Ruth, I'm not gonna lie, that was 1 of the best videos iv watched in a long time Especially meeting the 'friends' and the whisky tour, and the barrel store
Another blissful video tour - Ruth, you're so good at this stuff! I took the ferry from Tobermory, Mull, to Kilchoan ("Kil-Hoan") and stopped at that viewpoint near Ben Hiant (@ 7:48). There were cattle on that beach below and sheep on the hills to the left of the viewpoint. It was absolutely serene to see the cows down on that crescent beach. Like a dream! I passed by the distillery, but schedule didn't permit me to stop. I am happy you included a tour by Calum. Next time! Thank you
Another great video Ruth, we know Ardnamurchan very well having spent many a holiday at Arisaig indeed we visited the distillery a few days after it had opened. The whole peninsula is a spectacular area especially for wildlife.....the young couple were lovely and I do love their lifestyle, he had a great passion For his work .....The Silver walk from Castle Tioram is just wonderful
WOW! Beautiful scenery Soo serene; I must visit spectacular Scotland after watching Ruth's professional and educational videos! Ruth is the best videographer and documentary narrator!! Thanks to my Scottish Sis, Ruth!! God bless her!!
Great stuff in getting those interviews with Fergus and Calum. Their local expertise added to your own expertise was the icing on the cake. Well done, Ruth!
Hi Ruth ! I watch you from California USA. I found you from your cave video. I rarely comment on TH-camrs and I often watch travel vloggers like Kara and Nate. You’re the first vlogger in a while that I actually enjoy watching lately. Thank you for uploading your adventures. I cannot wait to see your channel grow more. (:
Yes, indeed. One of my favourite areas. Many trips back and forward to family on the Isle Mull via Lochaline or Kilchoan (with the obligatory visit to Sanna Bay). Another outstanding video. You are a star Ruth. Missing Scotland... 🥲
Love Ardnamurchan, the most unspoilt part of Scotland. I rented a caravan with my family years ago in Achnaha. We got invited to a Ceilidh on our first night - made so welcome. Beautiful part of Scotland.
I really enjoyed this episode. :) You’re “you can do anything if you try” was lovely. As a native Kentuckian, I also loved seeing the Woodford Reserve barrel. Thanks for making and sharing these- they’re a joy.
You are good ambassador to represent Scotland, Ruth❤. Lot of things I learned about beautiful Scotland throughout your adventure🎉😊. Your enthusiast, knoledge, and offcourse your lovely smile is great combination ❤
I must say, this video is superb. This is professional grade touring guide that would take tens of thousands of pounds to make by a production company. I've always wanted to go tour the Ardnamuchan. Truly grateful for your efforts in bringing this video to me. Take care, hope to see you in another video soon. 👍🏴
Beautiful scenery, nice weather and cool people, excellent whiskey ... what more can one ask for? Thanks for you nice videos, I always enjoy these very much!
Hi Ruth, we were in Ardnamurchan in April this year. It was so beautiful we are going back in October! Adding a visit to the distillery too! Loving the videos 😀
That was a neat distillery tour, wonderful to see how they are reducing climate impact. As a follow up, we found Ardnamurchan AD Core in Austin, TX. After trying the whisky, I can say this AD Core is the only peated whisky that I have liked. Thanks again for revealing this remote area and wonderful whisky. Slàinte.
Thanks, Ruth. I really enjoy each and every one of your episodes, but this is probably my favorite one yet. The drive in was very beautiful, with lots of variety. These friends of yours really have it going on. They are totally charming, their camper van is beautiful, and their lifestyle there in the west of Scotland is quite idyllic. The distillery tour was the best one you’ve shown us. I love all the detail he went into. I will definitely be searching for the Ardnamurchan whiskeys at our shops here in the States. Happy Camping!
Totally agree with your driving pace. I must be the slowest car driver as the reason i went to the highlands was to enjoy the view, so travelling at 50-60 on those single track roads is just not enjoyable. I was doing 25-35 and every time a car was up my backside i pulled over and let them pass, much more enjoyable and less stressful. Who wants a stressful holiday. Will be back next April 🤞
Greetings from Michigan! What an amazing video! Gorgeous area (loved Sanna Beach) and Calum was a delight with his whisky history. I learned so much! I love learning about the West coast especially since my ancestors are from that side...but also love the Gaelic. My son's name is Ian and my grandson is Malcolm. Thank you Ruth for sharing your beautiful country and the motherland of my Grandparent's with us!
Wow! I wasn't expecting to get a tour through the Ardnamurchan distillery - what a great opportunity to get to know Calum, your personal tour guide, the distillery and its whiskies. Yep, it's what many would call a tad "out of the way" (the distillery site) but that just makes it even more fascinating. I have a few bottles of Ardnamurchan in my own cabinet and to my mind they're one of the most exciting new distilleries Scotland has to offer. Great to see how Calum and Roksana have set up their van to suit their lifestyle, including a big trip to Tobermory by ferry whenever they need to do any serious shopping. It took a while for me to process that, but a look at the map explains it perfectly. Many thanks, Ruth, for exploring the Ardnamurchan peninsula and putting together this great video! Cheers.
Thanks so much Russell! It was very nice of Calum to give me a private tour and so interesting to see inside all the warehouses. Really glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best whisky tour I have ever seen. Calum introduced Ardnamurchan Core Expression Whisky, which appears to be a passion for excellence. Wonderful show!
Fantastic vidéo Ruth, and Calum and Roxsana are à delightful couple. Amazing tour of the distillery, and Calum certainly puts his heart and soûl into explaining what makes it so authentic ! Hope you enjoyed the the wee dram, the coffee and the killer brownies !! Slainte Mhath 🥃🥃 More please
Fantastic upload there Ruth,really enjoyed this that tour with Calum in the distillery was brilliant, And a great couple them 2 are, sweet looking van they got 2, So Thank in you 👍
Another wonderful video highlighting the beauty of Scotland. You had some great weather whilst you were there, I bet the lighthouse looks different when there's a gale blowing and the rain is coming in horizontally. Loved the personalised tour of Ardnamurchan Distillery, have enjoyed their AD whisky a few times. Will keep an eye out to see if they produce anything for their tenth anniversary.
I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the videos on your channel & this is one of the most beautiful & informative to date! It is so lovely to see these locations around Scotland which remain more remote & less influenced by modern society. Take care Ruth & I hope you keep enjoying your exploring. 😊
Cracking film, Ruth. Always had yen to visit the Ardnamurchan after I worked for the company that fitted the biomass boiler in the distillery. Since then, 3 trips so far, only one without torrential rain. We just stuck to A roads, though, and I’ve never got to the distillery. One day. The road from Acharacle to Lochailort via Glenuig is spectacular.
OMGosh. This is answering so many questions I've had with how to get around in the Western-most counties in Scotland. Love all of your uploads. Thank you from Oklahoma 🇺🇲!
Loved this tour of Ardnamurchan and the distillery. My husband and I are planing to go next year and we're definitely trying the whiskey from the Ardnamurchan Distillery. Turn sound that The Distillery sells to a place in San Francisco that will ship to us in seattle. I wrote to The Distillery and told them I thought your tour was so fascinating that we wanted to visit them and stay in their little cottages. Thanks again for your posts. I was a travel writer for 25 years and finally decided to change my vocation last December.
Absolutely! We thought you did a great job of explaing The Distillery and your product, Calum. We look forward to visiting Ardnamurchan and the distillery!!!😊😊
Yes the Outer Hebrides has amazing beaches, or at least it had when my wife & I were there, for a week, with our then toddler son, but that was over 40 years ago. I understand the Late Spring is probably the best time to visit. Calum was appropriately enthusiastic about "his" whisky I enjoyed your & his enthusiasm Bye!
Hi Ruth, thanks for this very interesting episode. The tour around the distillery with Callum was very informative! The distillery's marketing is in good hands .
That was a really interesting video Ruth. Fascinating to see inside the whisky warehouse. Most of the distilleries I have visited around Scotland and Tasmania (born Scotland but live in Australia) show you the malting floor and still but rarely the bond warehouse.
Hello Ruth how on earth do you find such wonderful places so lovely this weekend i was looking at a movie whisky galore i thought of you and how you would try and hide all that whisky may be you can shine a light on this as i think its a true story as always a wonderful video take care and dont drive after you have drunk all that lovely whisky 👍👍
Watching this episode has convinced me to visit the area. Currently living in Tasmania. Super expensive Whiskey here, but not a patch on the quality of Scottish whiskey. An awesome episode. Really enjoyed.
Hi Ruth. I have decided to come over for a visit from Tassie. Early Sept to see old friends and Family. Planning a quick blast up to the Oban area. Your Whiskey tours have inspired me. Will try and get to Ardnamurchan. Any others nearby you would recommend. Not really into the peaty whiskeys. Many Thanks Rich.
HA! We stayed at that camp site!......It was AMAZING!!!!! Your not wrong the drive out there is just incredible......I loved it. It's literally another world. Take care.
What a stunning place 😍 The beach was absolutely beautiful!! The tour of the distillery was excellent and the best so far of what I have watched! Thank you, Ruth 😊
Whoo hooo, The western most point of Scotland, Congratulations Ruth ❤ and thanks Callum for the amazing distillery tour, it got me thinking whether the salt air affects the taste of the scotch, interesting 🤔
The islets you can see slightly offshore at 4:42 in your video are very cool. We pulled into the lay-by right next to it to let the traffic from the ferry pass and stretch our legs, just by chance. You look out across the water and all of a sudden, you're watching a colony of seals.
Loved the visit to the brewery with all the goat labels. Reminded me of my Angora goat Ernie. If I were drinking a beer on the deck, he'd always join me, and demand the lion's share of my brew.
This is my favourite video so far, i remember spending a lovely time at Ardnamurchan many years ago.....i think 25 mph is just right for those single track roads, Ruth...I love you....
Ruth Attenborough. You are incredible. Your channel is an informative & educational joy. Your content is remarkable and far succeeds the BBC. Surely you have a backup location production crew in the spare bedroom? Me & my dad absolutely love your videos.
Wow I can really feel the love and pride in that whisky! I really enjoy that you always go to the distilleries and breweries, and that you always mention the clearance histories, something most Americans don't really know about.
looks like an epic area to tour and visit, gorgeous views, you always take us on some lovely trips which I really enjoy , How awesome that you were able to meet up with some other TH-camrs how cool is that, They have a very nice van set up love the extension they added great idea. loved the distillery tour found that interesting Thank you again Ruth . London ontario Canada . Cheers !
Good afternoon Ruth really great video today on the west coast distillery epic and your friends you met up with were amazing their van was super really loved couple last week and week before from New Jersey carry on 😘🌺🌸🌿☕️🚗

What a great tour of the distillery. I picked up a set of Ardnamurchan samples when I was in Scotland this fall - looking forward to trying it.

Brilliant so glad you where able to find it and also enjoyed it 🥃👍
Thanks, Ruth.
I really enjoy each and every one of your episodes, but this is probably my favorite one yet. The drive in was very beautiful, with lots of variety.
These friends of yours really have it going on. They are totally charming, their camper van is beautiful, and their lifestyle there in the west of Scotland is quite idyllic.
The distillery tour was the best one you’ve shown us.
I love all the detail he went into.
I will definitely be searching for the Ardnamurchan whiskeys at our shops here in the States.
Happy Camping!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you find the whisky over there! 🥃🙏
Great, glad you like his tour 😁🥃
Totally agree with your driving pace. I must be the slowest car driver as the reason i went to the highlands was to enjoy the view, so travelling at 50-60 on those single track roads is just not enjoyable. I was doing 25-35 and every time a car was up my backside i pulled over and let them pass, much more enjoyable and less stressful. Who wants a stressful holiday. Will be back next April 🤞
That's a day run from Glenlyon to the distillery so I'll arrange that in October. Thank you for the excellent video, Ruth.
Very addictive, your videos! Cannot stop watching!
Glad you like them!
Greetings from Michigan! What an amazing video! Gorgeous area (loved Sanna Beach) and Calum was a delight with his whisky history. I learned so much! I love learning about the West coast especially since my ancestors are from that side...but also love the Gaelic. My son's name is Ian and my grandson is Malcolm. Thank you Ruth for sharing your beautiful country and the motherland of my Grandparent's with us!
Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed the video. Calum's tour was absolutely great. Best whisky distillery tour I've ever experienced!
One of your best yet Ruth...fascinating tour of the Ardnarmurchan distillery and this stunning peninsula...I really must try that dram!
You should try it 🥃😆 thank you so much!
We agree, buy some Ardnamurchan 😄😄
Wonderful drive and beaches.
I could stay there forever 😊
Loved the tour of the distillery and Callum is so cute and loves making fine whiskey 😘🌴🤠
Glad you like his tour 😁🥃
Wow! I wasn't expecting to get a tour through the Ardnamurchan distillery - what a great opportunity to get to know Calum, your personal tour guide, the distillery and its whiskies. Yep, it's what many would call a tad "out of the way" (the distillery site) but that just makes it even more fascinating. I have a few bottles of Ardnamurchan in my own cabinet and to my mind they're one of the most exciting new distilleries Scotland has to offer. Great to see how Calum and Roksana have set up their van to suit their lifestyle, including a big trip to Tobermory by ferry whenever they need to do any serious shopping. It took a while for me to process that, but a look at the map explains it perfectly. Many thanks, Ruth, for exploring the Ardnamurchan peninsula and putting together this great video! Cheers.
Thanks so much Russell! It was very nice of Calum to give me a private tour and so interesting to see inside all the warehouses. Really glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks
Thanks Mark!
Thanks Ruth amazing videos mark xxx
Love your videos. Thank you for taking us to such beautiful places. Loved that yellow van. What a place to live.❤❤
This is the best whisky tour I have ever seen. Calum introduced Ardnamurchan Core Expression Whisky, which appears to be a passion for excellence. Wonderful show!
Glad you enjoyed Calum's tour, thanks for watching!
Glad you liked the tour 😁🥃 We will pass on your kind words to Calum🤩
Fantastic vidéo Ruth, and Calum and Roxsana are à delightful couple. Amazing tour of the distillery, and Calum certainly puts his heart and soûl into explaining what makes it so authentic !
Hope you enjoyed the the wee dram, the coffee and the killer brownies !! Slainte Mhath 🥃🥃
More please
Fantastic upload there Ruth,really enjoyed this that tour with Calum in the distillery was brilliant,
And a great couple them 2 are, sweet looking van they got 2,
So Thank in you 👍
Their van is amazing!!
Another wonderful video highlighting the beauty of Scotland. You had some great weather whilst you were there, I bet the lighthouse looks different when there's a gale blowing and the rain is coming in horizontally. Loved the personalised tour of Ardnamurchan Distillery, have enjoyed their AD whisky a few times. Will keep an eye out to see if they produce anything for their tenth anniversary.
They have a lovely whisky out this year called the "Midge" which is a collab with smidge. It's very good and worth a try!
@@ruthaisling Will drinking it help keep the midges from biting? 😁
@@malcolmtucker2537probably 😂
I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the videos on your channel & this is one of the most beautiful & informative to date! It is so lovely to see these locations around Scotland which remain more remote & less influenced by modern society. Take care Ruth & I hope you keep enjoying your exploring. 😊
Cracking film, Ruth. Always had yen to visit the Ardnamurchan after I worked for the company that fitted the biomass boiler in the distillery. Since then, 3 trips so far, only one without torrential rain. We just stuck to A roads, though, and I’ve never got to the distillery. One day. The road from Acharacle to Lochailort via Glenuig is spectacular.
Hope you can visit sometime! Thanks for the recommendation!
OMGosh. This is answering so many questions I've had with how to get around in the Western-most counties in Scotland. Love all of your uploads. Thank you from Oklahoma 🇺🇲!
Glad it was helpful!
Loved this tour of Ardnamurchan and the distillery. My husband and I are planing to go next year and we're definitely trying the whiskey from the Ardnamurchan Distillery. Turn sound that The Distillery sells to a place in San Francisco that will ship to us in seattle. I wrote to The Distillery and told them I thought your tour was so fascinating that we wanted to visit them and stay in their little cottages. Thanks again for your posts. I was a travel writer for 25 years and finally decided to change my vocation last December.
Aw thanks 😁 It would be so nice to see you when you visit 🙂 So if you don't see me then please ask and I will come and say hello 🤩
Absolutely! We thought you did a great job of explaing The Distillery and your product, Calum. We look forward to visiting Ardnamurchan and the distillery!!!😊😊
@@Pangoban Thanks 🥃🥃
Yes the Outer Hebrides has amazing beaches, or at least it had when my wife & I were there, for a week, with our then toddler son, but that was over 40 years ago. I understand the Late Spring is probably the best time to visit.
Calum was appropriately enthusiastic about "his" whisky I enjoyed your & his enthusiasm Bye!
🥃👍
I Love going to the West coast, it is Stunning! Great again Ruth.
Thanks so much!
Hi Ruth, thanks for this very interesting episode. The tour around the distillery with Callum was very informative! The distillery's marketing is in good hands .
Glad you found the tour informative 😁
That was a really interesting video Ruth. Fascinating to see inside the whisky warehouse. Most of the distilleries I have visited around Scotland and Tasmania (born Scotland but live in Australia) show you the malting floor and still but rarely the bond warehouse.
Glad you liked it! It's quite rare to see a malting floor in Scotland as only a few distilleries still do it on-site.
Glad you like it 😁🥃
Really enjoyed watching this, went there 10yrs ago and it was lovely, forgot about Sanna beach , what a place
It’s so beautiful 😍
Wonderful experience, thank you !
That was a very good tour. I have been on whisky tours, but they were rubbish at the side of that one. Very enjoyable
Ruth.. your adventures are fun to watch. And every time you go to a new distillery... I will immediately look it up so I can find it where I live❤
Have fun!
Hello Ruth how on earth do you find such wonderful places so lovely this weekend i was looking at a movie whisky galore i thought of you and how you would try and hide all that whisky may be you can shine a light on this as i think its a true story as always a wonderful video take care and dont drive after you have drunk all that lovely whisky 👍👍
Looks beautiful! Great vlog Ruth!!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Watching this episode has convinced me to visit the area. Currently living in Tasmania. Super expensive Whiskey here, but not a patch on the quality of Scottish whiskey. An awesome episode. Really enjoyed.
Thanks for watching Richard! I used to live with a girl from Tasmania!
Hi Ruth. I have decided to come over for a visit from Tassie. Early Sept to see old friends and Family. Planning a quick blast up to the Oban area. Your Whiskey tours have inspired me. Will try and get to Ardnamurchan. Any others nearby you would recommend. Not really into the peaty whiskeys.
Many Thanks Rich.
What a delightful video, what a great tour by Callum. I'm off to buy some Ardnamurchan whisky!
Aw great glad you enjoyed the tour. Hopefully you are able to get your hands on a bottle 🥃🥃
HA! We stayed at that camp site!......It was AMAZING!!!!! Your not wrong the drive out there is just incredible......I loved it. It's literally another world.
Take care.
What a stunning place 😍 The beach was absolutely beautiful!! The tour of the distillery was excellent and the best so far of what I have watched! Thank you, Ruth 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! I had such a great visit 😍
Great, glad you enjoyed it 😁🥃
Whoo hooo, The western most point of Scotland, Congratulations Ruth ❤ and thanks Callum for the amazing distillery tour, it got me thinking whether the salt air affects the taste of the scotch, interesting 🤔
Glad you liked Calum's tour 😁🥃
The islets you can see slightly offshore at 4:42 in your video are very cool. We pulled into the lay-by right next to it to let the traffic from the ferry pass and stretch our legs, just by chance. You look out across the water and all of a sudden, you're watching a colony of seals.
This was a magnificent vlog and the whisky process was amazing
Thank you, the tour from Calum was brilliant! ❤️
🥃🥃👍
Loved the visit to the brewery with all the goat labels. Reminded me of my Angora goat Ernie. If I were drinking a beer on the deck, he'd always join me, and demand the lion's share of my brew.
日本の離島以上に鄙びた地域ですね。バンライフを楽しむカップルと知り合い、勤め先のウイスキー蒸留所を紹介され良い旅でした。🐱
This is my favourite video so far, i remember spending a lovely time at Ardnamurchan many years ago.....i think 25 mph is just right for those single track roads, Ruth...I love you....
Fantastic Ruth another brill video.🏴🥃
Glad you enjoyed it!
A fascinating presentation of the wild western part of Scotland.You are absolutely wonderful in your unique style .
Ruth Attenborough. You are incredible. Your channel is an informative & educational joy. Your content is remarkable and far succeeds the BBC. Surely you have a backup location production crew in the spare bedroom? Me & my dad absolutely love your videos.
Thank you so much Gordon, that is so nice of you to say! Haha no back up production crew! 😂
Amazing. What a beautiful place and what a lovely couple. I bet the whiskey was amazing too! 😎😎😎❤️👍
The whisky was very good!
Love this channel ! So much info and scenery . You get a real feel for the video . ❤ thank you Ruth
You are so welcome!
Wow I can really feel the love and pride in that whisky! I really enjoy that you always go to the distilleries and breweries, and that you always mention the clearance histories, something most Americans don't really know about.
looks like an epic area to tour and visit, gorgeous views, you always take us on some lovely trips which I really enjoy , How awesome that you were able to meet up with some other TH-camrs how cool is that, They have a very nice van set up love the extension they added great idea. loved the distillery tour found that interesting Thank you again Ruth . London ontario Canada . Cheers !
Glad you enjoyed it in London, Ontario 🇨🇦 😊
