    I played this for my mom and her roommate while visiting her at her nursing home. She has advanced dementia and there aren’t many things that hold her attention. This was so beautifully filmed that both of them watched. Thank you for bringing the outside in to them. I love your blog and hope to visit Scotland again soon. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Many thanks Steve and Alicia, this morning we enjoyed a fabulous trip to the Isle of May because we were inspired by your visit. We are 2 Australians enjoying 2 weeks exploring Scotland and seeing puffins was definitely a priority, and we saw 100’s maybe 1000’s on May. We thought Anstruther was the most beautiful coastal town and the trip from Stirling very scenic. Your blogs are terrific!

    A summer Sunday in 1952 saw a small boatful of Anstruther folk, around 15 in number...I was 8yrs old...a grand time, with a picnic and haring about for the entire afternoon...rabbits dying all over the place, due to Myxamatosis...birds swooping and shrieking...nobody was seasick going back even though the boat was gey rocky...thank you for reminding me of my only visit, though I would see the island most days and always loved the sound of the foghorns...dgp/uk

Stunning scenery and colours ! And the film just the right length to cultivate interest in the place. I could almost smell the sea air !!

    grandmother's husband (which is the same thing) right down here in Queensland. Beside the Pacific Ocean, our
    shores washed by the Coral Sea. Yet I treasure Scotland, the home of my father. My wife and I visited on somewhat
    of a pilgrimage. He was a Dundee lad. And we loved Dundee. The only bunny we saw was on Law Hill in the center
    of Dundee. At first light of day it hopped around beneath our feet, unaware of our presence. So nice!

    So fascinating. Scotland is full of wonder. I loved our short two weeks there. Mainly to see where my dad came from in Dundee, on Tay.
    But we crammed so much into those two weeks. I'd love to come back again before they lay me in the pine box. The Isle of May might
    be small, but I was with you over those rocky paths to see the puffins. If I was with you literally, I'd really be pantin' and puffin' to see the
    puffins. Love your videos, keep them coming!

    Great video. It really made me feel I was there. And you were so lucky to have such beautiful weather for the trip. Definitely tempting to visit Anstruther and the Isle of May! Used to see puffins (and a whole host of other birds) in Shetland.

      Cheers Barney! Love going right up to the top of Unst, the puffins love it there too :) Oh we were so stressed about the forecast for this trip, but it came good just in time :)
