Beautiful Vlog Gary, fascinating history, incredibly emotional moment for yourself on finding the Bothy and a very sombre end, one that needs telling though. 201 poor souls who went through the horrors of WW1 to lose their lives within sight of their homeland 😢 and the community that paid such a heavy price with their loss. I agree that sometimes images we regard as our best may mean nothing to others but the emotions and memories attached to them make them special to us, I am lucky to have one or two myself 👌👍
It' nice to listen and looking at your story in your own way of authenticity, awareness and real emotionality. It's not only the content of landscape photography, it's you as a person makes this channel one of my most liked on TH-cam. Thank You!
powerful stuff. those moments, finding a place where your soul fits, like its found its perfect chair. all you can do is sit a while, and wherever life leads you, you always know that chair is there. and you can close your eyes and sit there anytime you like.
This is the most amazing video I have ever watched I have soo many things I could say it would take forever. Thanks Gary for the greatest adventure I will watch this many times over I have the craziest attachments to this video.
Wow Gary, what an amazing video. It was a brilliant adventure. I'm not surprised that you had a moment when you were at the Bothy, i think we all did. It was incredible and as a small structure, was a piece of art. What an amazing place. The image's that you captured were stunning..
Gary, you've done it again! As a Wedding Photographer I've only recently came accross your videos and thoroughly enjoy them. You are an amazing story teller and obviously a fantastic photographer. Keep up the amazing work that you do - I absolutely love it.
Fascinating history lesson from the Islands. The final story about the loss of 'HMS Lolair' brings a personal sadness for me in the loss of my husband. He collected medals to a ship HMS Amphion. She was suck off Harwich Essex 4 days after the start of WW1 where more than half the 300 crew were lost. Peter had a complete group to man lost that day. He also had a group of medals toto the man's brother who served in the Army WW1 he was killed 3 days before the end of the war. The poor family lost both sons in WW1. The history of those brave men who served their King and country for us. You don't need a portfolio of images for this video, more a record of the Islands history filled with memories both good and bad, possibly explaining why parts of the of Lewis and Harris have the topography they have today. Thank you Gary for sharing.
Thanks Gary for taking me back to one of my all-time favourite places. Standing alone in the centre of Callinish gives me goosebumps. Also thanks for some of facts I didn't know but will remember if I ever get back there.. The island definitely has worked its Magic on you. Stay well 🙂
Great video that Gary , some fascinating facts throughout , really enjoyed watching this, some great photography as always , and what a find with that Bothy , the views looked stunning ! I see why you would have such an emotional attachment to it
What an emotional video Gary. Excellent video and fun fun facts. How sad that all those men survived a war away from home only to lose so close to returning. Thanks for sharing that with us. Lovely images. I'm sure this trip won't be forgotten any time soon.
Loved the video Gary, and i felt that moment you shared with the view and the stone bothy. Great to see you explore more of the connection side of your photography, as you say it's the story that gets you to these places that connect within.
Absolutely loved this journey from your welcomes to a solum end !It definitely boggles the mind some fantastic fun facts images and timelapse ! Its not to often that you connect whole heartly with a some 1 you know through a screen but I felt your excitement when you discovered the Bothy. great work and I hope you have the treasure of that photograph for a very long time to come. Take care
..just watching this video i feel this is a place i could get attached to..is amazing from what you've shown...i came for the photography, i stayed for the history...will now do mor4e research...thank you
Amazing video Gary. with regard to the cliffside bothy. It was created and developed by the husband of Mrs Lorna Norgrove from Lewis. Their very brave daughter was killed while working for a charity abroad. They have created a beautiful accommodation called Timsgarry Brye. we spent a gorgeous week there last June. I managed to photograph a white tailed sea eagle while we were there. thanks for all the facts Danny
Gary this is another spectacular video!!! The emotional element of your video was certainly heart felt. I’ve just dived into the Scottish Bothy Bible and found it!!! It’s called the Eagles Nest 🤩 Brilliant
Thank you for that wonderful history lesson. The pictures are truly amazing - particularly the long exposures. What a find - I was moved by the feelings you expressed and the beautiful scenery. I will re-visit this video many times I'm sure. Thank you for sharing.
You certainly had a moment or two on these islands. Thank you for drawing attention to the sad tale of the shipwreck. Sometimes it just seems that a persons number is up. I don't say that lightly, life is just strange sometimes. The area is beautiful, long may it continue to stay that way.
Great to experience and share your enthusiasm for this place. Photography can be a wonderful force, and you have proved that. I too can read the text of memorials and be transported emotionally to a place and time far removed. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hands down one of the best, most informative landscape video I seen. Truly spectacular scenery, the likes I will never see and such a sad but a fact that needs to be told like you said to those brave souls lost that night
Fantastic video Gary. I've booked myself six nights on Harris/Lewis next February and can't wait. I've been once before but only for a couple of nights. It's an amazing place. With regards to the shipping disaster in 1919, I'm currently reading (by coincidence) a book I've borrowed from one of my friends. He's a retired journalist and is friends with one of the authors, who lives in Stornoway. It's well worth a read if you want a more in depth account of that terrible day and is called The Darkest Dawn by Malcolm MacDonald (my friends mate) and Donald John MacLeod.
It’s hard to say anything other than INCREDIBLE AND one of your best videos to date! I’m not crying into my brew - honest 😢 WOW! My fave, The Callanish stones fact. Finding the bothy… bloody brilliant!! Heha excitable wee! I wish so much I could of shared this moment with you, the bothy not the wee! Ending on a heartbreaking fact. No doubt changed the island forever.
Loved this Gary, we are head up to the Islands in June for 2 weeks. I first saw the bothy on sacred isles with Ben Fogle and he tells the story of the family that built the bothy. Well worth a watch on Iplayer 👌
Yes Ben stayed the night in the bothy and found himself really moved by the whole experience he said nearly the same as you Gary along the lines of "being really moved" by the location and story of the build
Hands down one of the best videos I've seen so far on here ... and the moment you experienced outside the stone shelter brought tears to my eyes ... that view and the feeling of solitude hit my soul. Just Brilliant Andy.
This video was very good Gary and yes I think all your videos are but this was a bit different. I loved what you managed to pull out of the bag with the sea scapes half way through especially as you had to work hard for the final images, I particularly liked the black and white at 12.50. Then it just got better and better. I would love to spend a stormy day and night in that Bothy with a roaring fire just absorbing nature at its wildest and right on the edge.
Fabulous video Gary, I was totally engrossed from the very beginning to the sad ending. I’m retired now and new to photography and I couldn’t help thinking how awesome this location is as well as many other areas throughout Scotland 🏴 and I was thinking I really should do a tour of Scotland, that in itself is only strange because I’m from Glasgow and probably like many people in the UK, we tend to take our breaks in foreign lands 😅 thanks for opening my eyes to some of the beauty that the countries within the UK has to offer 😊
Finding that bothy was a real moment of epiphany - just beautiful! The shots you captured on site there are wonderful, even to someone who has never stepped inside that bothy. Much appreciated. The final tragic story of the Iolaire's sinking and the shocking loss of life makes you speechless. I stood there a year ago and had a very similar reaction. How many families on the island had to cope with the loss of a loved one? And they were all so young. It's no wonder many folk on the island retreated into a quiet stoicism while trying to deal with the fact that life goes on despite their enormous loss. Just doesn't bear thinking about. Many thanks for a great video on Harris and Lewis - and the many camera tips along the way. Cheers!
Thanks Russell. I was shocked to read that people didn't talk about the tragedy. I thought that was a strange thing to read. Maybe it was just too much.
You tube channels "come and go" sometimes copied, but your's has professionalism, sincerity and a quality only some could dream of, keep it up Gary. Ian (UK)
Had to go back and watch it! Had forgotten about it after seeing the other amazing scenes. I expect you will be back again? Maybe a video on night sky photography and light paint the stone house? Are you able to stay the night in there?
Your enthusiasm is so infectious Gary (although as a health and safety professional some of your adventures scare the cr@p out of me😂😂). Looking forward to catching up with u in June. Clive
A wonderful documentary and with much interesting information. A big hats off to all your efforts Gary; from the research, hiking and photography et al. You should be proud of the result! 👍It inspired me to check out your website and workshops.
A fine, mighty fine video Gary, god bless you for shining a light on that sad loss and the memory of those lost souls. on a more upbeat note, whilst photographing on Gt Bernera a few years back, we met a lady doing yoga on Bosta Beach. Turned out she had retired to the island from our local Blood Donor Service here in Somerset. Sometimes the world can be a very small place. Thanks for sharing your experience and raw emotion.
I can totally relate to the idea that those photos I take that have an emotional attachment for me are my favourites irrespective of the technical merits. That may be like with the bothy the effort you put in and the realisation it would have been easy to miss or having researched a location and say moon position, Milky Way Core etc that the plan all comes together or just you get lucky with an amazing find/conditions. Whatever the reason looking at the photo that comes from it will always mean so much more. great vid Gary and Harris & Lewis is on my bucket list.
Great Video Gary. I have been to Lewis a couple of times and returning in 11 days. We were at Mangersta a few years ago to the sea stacks but did not look for the bothy, might give it a try this time round. What a really respectful video to a truly special part of Scotland and to a lovely group of people who are always so welcoming.
I was fortunate to photograph Stromatalites in the Pilbara West Australia that are 3.8 billion years old the oldest form of life on the planet and on my door step and absolutely amazing.
Amazing video Gary. So sad a story about all those poor souls who having survived the hell of the trenches only to perish within sight of their homeland. "At the going down of the sun"
we used to go there every year as kids as Gran and Grandad lived in Tolsta and Garry Beach on a summers day was lovely but you should come to Inverness sometime and head to chanonry point to see the dolphins
@@GaryGough they're catching the Atlantic salmon now that run through the inner moray firth past the chanonry narrows past the point where the lighthouse is where they head to the Inverness rivers to spawn I've been getting a few pics since March from the fort george side..you'd enjoy it
I’ve already deleted one comment, hopefully this one will convey my thoughts a little more clearly. First of all, how lucky were you with the weather😊 now I’m even more jealous. What a great vlog, some not normally seen locations, followed up with some interesting facts, photographed brilliantly and narrated with feeling and respect.
14:11- Another theory says, that these stones points to the place, that beneath is some important city (like Atlantida, for example). The question is, in which case would make that human effort more sense?
I have been watching your vlogs for so long now i cannot remember. I feel this was your best one EVER. Ironically it wasn't the best because of photography or editing. I was already very aware of the tragedy and I am so pleased you helped raise awareness of it, and you did it beautifully. Thank You !
Tremendous and very sad… Interestingly you mentioned what a photograph means to the photographer, I went to shoot the tin mine in Cornwall after seeing your video a few years ago. Every time I look at it I remember the the atmosphere and tremendous crashing of the waves and spray reaching the top of the mine….. You are a very inspirational photographer.
Rugged and beautiful 💙 The Bothy was built many years ago by the parents of Linda Norgrove who was killed in Afghanistan. It is now used as part of her foundation if my memory serves me well.Think the BBC did a documentary on this story.Correct me if I’m wrong Gary.Some stunning images indeed.🥰
love the 2nd one plus the ones at 12.38 and 12.49 stunning photos
I think as we get older we lose the ability to be excited But you found your inner school boy now that's real joy 😊
Cheers Ian 👍👍
Everything about this video was amazing! It spoke volumes about who you are as a photographer and as a human being! Thanks for taking me along!
Cheers Randy 👍👍
This video is by far the best I have seen for a long time. It had everything. Emotion, Landscape and history. Thank you for all your time and effort.
Thanks Lorna xx

Thank you xx
Super, super video, commentary and photos Gary!!! Well done and thanks 👍🏼
Cheers Robbie 👍👍
powerful stuff. those moments, finding a place where your soul fits, like its found its perfect chair. all you can do is sit a while, and wherever life leads you, you always know that chair is there. and you can close your eyes and sit there anytime you like.
Lovely sentiment. Thank you 👍👍
Amazing Gary, the facts & figures, historical knowledge & of course the photo's - Well done..
Cheers John 👍👍
Love the B&W of the sea stacks & sun rays

I think you opened up you’re heart in this one Garry👌👌
It got me, I have to say, it really did. Cheers Ronny 👍👍
Wow Gary, what an amazing video.
It was a brilliant adventure.
I'm not surprised that you had a moment when you were at the Bothy, i think we all did.
It was incredible and as a small structure, was a piece of art.
What an amazing place.
The image's that you captured were stunning..
Thank you very much for this very interesting and enjoyable video on Harris and Lewis.

Great video Gary. I enjoyed the facts a lot. Also, imagine going back there for some night/star photography with the house and sea in an image.
I spent more than 2 hours at 2am just to capture the 10 seconds of Northern Lights time-lapse at the start of the video 😁😁
Had to go back and watch it! Had forgotten about it after seeing the other amazing scenes. I expect you will be back again? Maybe a video on night sky photography and light paint the stone house?
Are you able to stay the night in there?
Your enthusiasm is so infectious Gary (although as a health and safety professional some of your adventures scare the cr@p out of me😂😂). Looking forward to catching up with u in June. Clive

Amazing video Gary. So sad a story about all those poor souls who having survived the hell of the trenches only to perish within sight of their homeland. "At the going down of the sun"
You just can't begin to know how much it must have effected the islanders. It was human error too :(
Pretty good job on the anorthosite.
we used to go there every year as kids as Gran and Grandad lived in Tolsta and Garry Beach on a summers day was lovely but you should come to Inverness sometime and head to chanonry point to see the dolphins

Ha you’re the master of understatement Gary, some of those shots IMHO were little crackers!
Cheers Stephen 👍👍
Awesome
Cheers Paul 👍👍
An amazing place. Why didn`t you add your settings to the photos?
I do sometimes but it wasn’t a tutorial as such 👍
I’ve already deleted one comment, hopefully this one will convey my thoughts a little more clearly. First of all, how lucky were you with the weather😊 now I’m even more jealous.

Sounds a bit too much like science fiction to me :)
@@GaryGough Maybe Atlantida was a bit strong example, let say as an example something like Troy (it is just theory, but it is interesting one😄).
Not interesting or true. The real human history is way more interesting than some fantastical idea with no evidence behind it 🥸
I have been watching your vlogs for so long now i cannot remember.
I feel this was your best one EVER.
Ironically it wasn't the best because of photography or editing.
I was already very aware of the tragedy and I am so pleased you helped raise awareness of it, and you did it beautifully.
Thank You !
You just made me well up again. Thanks Graham 👍👍
Tremendous and very sad… Interestingly you mentioned what a photograph means to the photographer, I went to shoot the tin mine in Cornwall after seeing your video a few years ago.
