    I tried living on a tiny remote Scottish island for 7 days. Scotland has many islands, especially on its western coastline. Trying Scottish island living has been something which has been on my bucket list for years so I decided to finally make it happen!
    Join me as I head to the tiny Isle of Muck, one of The Small Isles and spend 7 days of simple living in a cute cottage and experience Scottish island life....

    A trick that I was taught when I worked on a farm as a teenager - always carry a stick when near cows. They think twice about charging you if you just wave the stick at them. It is useful to use a walking stick anyway beacause it can stop you falling over on slippy surfaces.

    11:07 Ruth, the reason why we have separate taps in the U.K. is mostly now tradition and we we are now shifting towards mixer taps finally. When I was a boy in the 70s we had a header tank usually either in the loft our above the hot water cylinder to give added pressure to the water as the hot tank was often upstairs in the property, without it, the hot water would trickle out very slowly because the cold water refill pipe would feed the tank very slowly.
    With header tanks, they were usually open and would have maybe a sheet of wood on top to keep out any birds or other undesirables that got into the loft.
    We were always told not to drink the water out of the hot tap as you might even end with the odd spider that had dropped in… yeuch… and so this is the main reason why we had 2 separate taps, one for drinking, the other for washing. With modern boilers, we use pumps to boost the water pressure and as they are sealed, the tanks give clean safe drinkable water (if you like drinking hot water from a tap 😵‍💫🥴)…
    Sorry about the long explanation… my ADHD affords me the ability to not be concise and to the point … lol 😂
    By the way, I love this video and look forward to following your journeys … safe journeys xxx

    I think I'm still staggered at the game-changing quality of the aerial video which is now possible, thanks to the automated drone Ruth mentioned in another video. Not just its compact size, but its controller-free programming, enables the filming of documentary-like sequences. I'm particularly impressed by the distance shots. To think that 20 years ago that would have taken a prohibitively expensive helicopter, and even 10 years ago a large cumbersome drone which you had to stay in controller range of. I wish I had had such a device when I explored the other-worldly landscapes of north-west Scotland around Durness, Tongue, and Kinlochbervie in 2013. Keep it up!

What a lovely cottage a beautiful escape with modern amenities. The mixer shower hose that attaches to the taps takes me back to my childhood never could get the temperature right. The island looked beautiful in the good weather. I think I could stay but I can relate to the loneliness you felt at one point. Loved the tea room , the food looked absolutely lush.

    You get a different perspective on life when you are cut off from the mainland. I at least had my car on the Isle of Lewis & Harris so I was able to explore a bit but it is a much bigger piece of land. It can be difficult when you have no one to speak to on an island. when I first moved there I could go all weekend without talking to anyone but I soon made friends and island life improved as in the main most people are very friendly. My boss in Glasgow was always surprised why I always spoke about the weather when he phoned me but you are very dependent on the weather for travelling whether by sea or air and whether newspapers and or fresh food and groceries were going to make it across the sea. Cows can become a little unpredictable when they have calves at foot so it is always advisable to give them a wide berth but at least they don't bite. I have not been to those islands but they have a certain appeal and I could hunker down with some good books quite happily. If you like to read the author Peter May has a trilogy set on the Isle of Lewis that I highly recommend.

    One technique I use to re ground myself is sit on a beach with surf rolling in. Make a note of when you sit down, then turn off all tech. Just concentrate on the breaking waves. Get in tune with them. At some point you will come back to reality. Be amazed how long you have spent. Could easy be a couple of hours. Looks a fabulous place to visit.

    Wonderful video! I live on an island on the Maine coast (US) and take a trip for the day each summer to an island called, Monhegan, which is about 12 miles out to sea. They have about 60-70 residents and I would love to spend Sept-April out there to see how life is on an island so far away. I would love to visit Muck, spending hours just exploring and taking photos. Loved the cow, she probably felt you were going to get too close to the babies, silly cow. They also have a shop there called "Winterworks" that has craft items from the residents on the island. I hope you didn't have too many groceries to take back with you. Thank you for taking us along on this trip.

    Separate taps is more a legacy thing, due to existing installations. The supplies are still separate as you would expect but mixer taps are just as normal in the UK as anywhere else now.

    Don't worry about the cow Ruth, it was just protecting it's calf. You have to stand firm with them and a stick like object (mentioned below) is pretty handy with a few loud shouts. Muck looks great, I used to work with a guy from there, he was partial to a light shandy, 🥃🥃🥃🥃 but only on social occasions you understand? 🙄😂

    In my part of Canada (southwest Ontario) hot and cold taps were separated(like the U.K.), and houses did not have showers, but in the last 70 years homes have had combined hot and cold water in one tap, and showering has now become the norm. 😊

    It always takes a little while to get used to one own company when travelling alone…. But once accustomed to it I’ve always found it harder to go back to lots of people around me…. i’ve been travelling up to Scotland for 30 years now and spending large chunks of time there in various parts up and down side to side of the country but I’ve never been to the Outer Hebrides or the inner Hebrides all the islands of the north east so I must make that happen….

    According to Google. The UK has separate hot and cold water taps to prevent contamination through cross connection. Cold water comes from the mains and is safe to drink, while hot water is served by a local storage tank in the loft. The law on clean drinking water requires that the two streams be separated.

    Would you possibly mention in any of your places if you know whether they are dog friendly?
    Thank you for your videos, im binge watching as we speak. They are informative, clear, easy to listen to and a joy to watch so thank you.
    All the best in your future adventures Ruth 🙂💕

    It was a very nice trip to the island of Muck you had.

    I was just thinking that the cows might be curious about you.
    But it was not aggressive and obeyed when you told it not to come.
    It was nice to see.
    They were happy people you met at the tea house.

    After that dog and now the cow Ruth, promise me you won't visit anywhere where they have Bears. 🐻🐻‍❄🐼🐨
    Wow, what a beautiful place. You asked if anyone could live there for a week, well forget that, I want to live there forever I would move in straight away if I could. That shower brought back some great memories of my childhood because that's how we used to shower.
    Loved the line only bought small bottles of Whisky because I don't think I would have been able to drink a full bottle (ARE YOU SURE)
    You seemed surprised when you stepped in all that mud,. Ruth what's the name of the island again lol Also I spotted the the edit during your last meal when you grabbed the whisky, you were just about to down it from the bottle then suddenly jump cut and there's a glass on the table Hehehe
    Day one you weren't certain if you could last a week but you did it 👍👍 Another fantastic video, Ruth. Well done getting to the top of that bloody windy hill too.
    Silly question, however, is camping aloud ?
