- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2024
- A long weekend and the weather was looking nice and wintry. I had open plans but wanted to do a wild camp on one of Scotland;'s most Iconic mountains. Three awesome days in the hills . One frequently visited by me in stunning condition, one iconic mountain and a wild camp and one new hill that gave amazing views of a familiar location !
A video of reaching the true summit of Stac Pollaidh here - • A Wild Camp on Stac Po...

Unbelievably beautiful mountain and you were SO lucky with the weather up the mountain for which The Ceilidh Place in Ullapool used to name a "Stack Polly" (a massive ice cream and fruit sundae).
Great video.
Assynt is beautiful. Canisp, Quinag, SP....
Murray, I just wanted to write and let you know that I think your film production and editing is superb. It's easily the best of all the TH-cam channels I watch.
🙏 thank you - hope you enjoy the videos :)
Another outstanding video which shows, like you said yourself, the huge and spectacular variety of the Scottish landscape. Coigach and Assynt hold a special place in my heart, I know that I will be watching that mouthwatering drone footage of the sunrise from Stac Pollaidh again and again. Thank you for another year of superb videos Murray, and all the best for 2024!
🙏 thanks Valerie
I always get a special warm feeling when walking these hills and always more quiet and peaceful than Cairngorms or Skye.
@@ibrstellar1080 it's a very unique and special place 🙂
Most of Scotland's landscapes have been heavily degraded and damaged ecology for decades unfortunately. We have some of the lowest biodiversity remaining in the world.
Watched this on the big screen, wow this is amazing…Murray you should be making a fortune doing this for tv your photography, time lapses, and videoing it’s just unbelievable and brilliant… thank you so much for sharing these adventures they bring so much happiness ❤
Maybe one day I’ll make a living from it ;) lol
I've also started watching Murray's videos on the big TV. Seems a crime to watch them on a small phone screen. The sequence at 25:40 is just ridiculous!
Yes.
I watch on my TV as well.
Immensely beautiful videos.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your brilliant outdoor channel showing Scotlands wonderful scenery,mountains, woods and wildlife. It was lovely seeing the Robin eating the food you kindly left it,I bet he appreciated that,especially in those cold temperatures.
If I could, I’d ‘up’ that video 44 times for every one of its minutes. Excellent, and yes, stunning
Thanks Paul - very much appreciated :)
Thanks for watching

You've raised the bar again with this video. A-maz-ing.
We scattered my Dads ashes on Stac Pollaidh in 2018 he was climbing the range right up to his 70s he was 89 when he passed his explicit instructions were to have half his ashes scattered on the Stac and half on the Sgùrr of Eigg , his two favourite climbs in Scotland. Both are very special sites to me now and Ivisit regularly when I can get the time away from the day job.
great 2 see jerry again brilliant views beautiful cracking the one last week wee watched it twice it was amazing great your videos r amazing look forward for your videos next week 👍💋
Drumochter looks so crisp and fresh and have done them in the same conditions and perfect hills for novice winter walkers.
I watch every video, with a sense of awe at how you manage to make us feel like we’re there with you. Never stop what you love, as we can feel it through your videos. Im Scottish (just down the road from you) but i live in Denmark now, so watching your videos makes me often homesick but also very proud of where i come from. Thank you.
Awesome Murray. Something very special about snowy summits and no wind. Thanks so much for sharing the trip with us
I loved seeing Gerry again, the diamonds glinting on the snow, flying 360 around Murray (always special), and the vacuum-cleaning Robin Redbreast in your van. I loved everything, actually. Thank you so much.
Loved how the big dipper contoured the hill in the background. Yet another amazing and inspiring video.
I only noticed that in the edit - would love to say it was intentional 😂👍
The amazing story telling and videophgraphy, thanks alot Murray 😅😅😅
BBC couldn't do better than your documentaries - Happy New Year!
Nice to see Beluga Lagoon on the juke box
This was fantastic, really enjoyed the longer format. The mountains and views were beautiful. Thank you for taking us along with you, as it’s not something I would ever be able to get to do. My dad also from Scotland enjoyed this as well, he is 90 🙂
Thanks for uploading, Murray. Run out of superlatives so just a simple thanks. 🏴🏔👍
These vids I appreciate more than most. That was a tough hike in cold weather. And yet I wish I was there. Thanks Murray.
These last two videos have been comfortably the best telly I’ve watched over Christmas. Inspirational.
🙏
Love these feature length videos 😁😀
Another epic presentation Murray and always nice when you have a special guest appearance 🙏😎
Speechless Murray after that.
Thank You for bringing these amazing videos.
Congratulations in getting your Penultimate Munro bagged.
Spectacular views
Another great Vlog 👍
2 magical weekends!! Thanks
Rarely was I ever warm in my tent, I always used to have a dram before kip. One weekend at a BMW meet the girlish contingent were leaving and one of the guys offered us a third bottle of Brandy and plain lemonade . That night with just one brandy and lemonade i had the best sleep ever - warm as toast and still sober.
a wee hot toddy to warm up is always nice :) lol
Thanks for watching

Beautiful photography, thank you for posting this wonderful weekend mountain top adventure. Loved the robin at the end. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada
Another great few days in the winter wonderland that is the Scottish mountains in the snow and frost. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Stunning, Brilliant & So So Beautiful yet another outstanding film
The gatecrashing robin was waiting for your return.
This adventure of yours, pitching your tent on the edge, in the snow with the starry night. It's what it's all about. Bloody dangerous though ?
Loved the video. Good to watch a road trip plus hills. Such variety in just three places. Scotland is truly magnificent in its offer.
What another superb vlog- fantastic views especially on Stac Poli -
So beautiful!!
Wow. Thank you so much
Can’t wait to get home to watch this…….. drone footage is amazing Murray
Incredible 🚁
Another good expedition Murray. Stac Pollaidh is a special mountain such superb views. Look forward to the next adventure.
Thanks, Murray, for another fabulous video. Beautifully put together & interesting commentary 👌. We always look forward to seeing your adventures 🎉.😀
As you say my friend, stunning just stunning,
Oh how I wish I could go hill climbing, so it means a lot that you share your wonderful adventures.
Thank you so much again
Absolutely phenomenal footage again Murray, and a great video in general!
Another spectacular video. Though I do sometimes feel queazy when I see you stood at the tops of some of the mountains.
I am living my dream through you.
Look after that robin, suspicion states that... Robins appear when a loved one is near. It means they are at peace.
Absolutely fantastic views over to the Alder range from Geal Charn
Thank you Murray for some excellent footage, your videos always bring comfort and amasing scenery, all the very best for 2024 take care
Thanks Jaqueline :)

Wow, way to make the most of a winter long weekend Murray. A thoroughly appropriate final video of 2023. Thanks for sharing all the magic of the Scottish hills this year.
Thanks Ross 🙏
Wonderful, thank you! The most awesome film of/from Stac Pollaidh I'ver seen.

Stunning place!!
Yet another epic film, Murray! ATB for the new year, see you next week, and the next, and the next...love to you and your family from sweaty Sydney X
Stunning Murray
Loved that footage of you enjoying those magnificent views
Another stunning video Murray. I thought last weeks one was spectacular but this one is even more if that's possible. I don't think theres anyone else that could bring us these truly wonderful videos however hard they tried. ATB and look forward to the next one.
Merry Christmas Murray, i hope you and the family had a good one! A great video once again. Thank you and all the best for 2024!
Once again you have given us a wonderful video..Gerry said to stop using the word stunning...sorry Gerry but this was a STUNNING video....superb drone footage mixed with ground footage and time-lapse produced a simply breathtaking video...Absolute great views at each location...A happy New Year to you and family and if course young Gerry...very best wishes.
Hi Murray Happy New Year 🎉 to you and your family. What a trip to end 2023 amazing drone footage and voice over commentary so informative, wishing you many more trips to our beautiful mountains.

Stunning roadtrip, video, the drone footage looks almost fullframe.
Another wonderful epic video Murray, and thanks especially for showing me the views from the Drumochter hills 35 years after I did them in cloud and drizzle! I had better weather on "Stac Polly", but that was even longer ago. I definitely need to get back to Assynt, and the next time I do it I'll take a tent :) Nice finish at Glencoe!
brilliant film .
Just fantastic 🤗
Some gorgeous views. Considering I live closer to SP than you I still haven't made it up there. I must remedy that in 2024. Thanks for the vid 😊
Some cracking views from that last one! Great video!
Another great adventure with some amazing viewpoints... well worth all that driving....hmmm, maybe I should jump in the car!
As always Murray a great video. 🏔
Wonderful film. Thanks for posting. I hope that you are enjoying Christmas.
Of course I made it to the end Murray, your vlogs are outstanding and such an inspiration on how to hike in the glorious Highlands safely and responsibly…long may they continue.
Breathtaking views! Excellent video!
I was up in Assynt for the first time just when you were I think, frosty first day rain the next 2 days, didn't do any hills but enjoy just being out. Great video again, thanks again Mr Scotch Egg
What a superb film of a great looking adventure. I loved the drone work on Stac Pollaidh. Amongst the fantastic views and filming is evidence of your love of the hills and the massive amount of experience you have in them.
What a brilliant way for you to sign off 2023. I look forward to seeing what you have for us in 2024. Have a very Happy New Year.
Thanks Alasdair and the same to you and yours for 2024:)

A fine adventure Murray. What a place Assynt is. 😍 Geal Charn is a fine winter mountain. Cracking wee viewpoint in Glencoe from Beinn Bheag.
Great video Murray, Assynt is stunning.

Thanks for watching

Stac Pollaidh. The most beautiful mountain in the world, with the most stunning views. I last climbed this just before the Covid lockdowns, with my sons. Sadly, my eldest boy passed in September. I have a wonderful picture of him at the summit. I will cherish this super little mountain and its memories forever. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful place with us all again ❤
Hi Victoria - so sorry to hear of your loss. Stac Pollaidh is a wonderful mountain and always a pleasure to visit. Hope you get to visit at some point

Brilliant as always, TV quality filmmaking right there. Merry Xmas and a happy new year
Great video and amazing footage as always, and some welcome inspiration for the new year!! Thanks
Hope you weren't out on Wed 27th, thought we were going to be stuck in fort william with all accommodation gone and trains cancelled, serious weather . A lovely citylink lass got us into Glasgow after it calmed down by 11.going through glencoe and Rannoch with the moonlight on the snowy mountains special
Glad you got home ok Harry - it’s been a bit wet and wild the last few weeks - hope high pressure returns at some point soon :)
Loving the wee adventure over different hills , loving the wee robin , cheeky thing 😍
Not been out in a while , and your vids are just screaming at me 😱
Did I miss it ? Didn't hear what whisky you had 😉
What a spectacular video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it whilst in my recliner in my heated living room, lol. Such a treat, thank you. Happy new year to you & yours!
.
Im late to see this one Murray, as house was full of family. P annd Q descends 😁 Brilliant hikes thanks for taking us there. Scary pitch on the Stac visible in the morning. Loved the view to Ben Wyvis on your way to Glencoe. What lovely views from the last hike, l must check it out. Take care Murray and many thanks for sharing your adventuress this year. Wishing you and family a happy new year.....Alioban ❤
Pro stuff Murray!
The Cairngorms looked absolutely stunning and fantastic 😁.
Wonderful video, Murray. I really enjoy these multi night adventures. I have to say your still photography is stunning - I'm still waiting for the book of landscape photography!
Thank you - 🙏 much appreciated
Epic. The light and views are stunning. Made me feel very small and insignificant amongst of those powerful hills. Your camera work is amazing. I could taste that clean cold air, feel the biting cold in the shade and the dry winter warmth of the sun. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you a thousand times.
Thanks Deborah - very much appreciated 🙏
Another sensational video Murray, amazing commitment to search for the best conditions. These longer videos must take some time to edit, so thank you. I'm struggling to even leave the house at present with a young family, so these videos are gold for a wee escape to the hills 😍. Cheers, all the best for the new year. James
Thanks James - got a couple more longer ones to come over the next few weeks too - hope you enjoy them

Fantastic Murray 👏 you continue to inspire. Have a great Christmas and New Year ….weather permitting 😁
Amazing video.
Gorgeous video with stunning landscapes 🏔️
🙏
Thanks Murray for another excellent video. After visiting the Highlands for many years and now having the privilege of living in the Highlands, your videos continually inspire and challenge to get out there and up the mountains to experience these stunning landscapes. I especially appreciate the special videos where you're out there with your son, as I'm now doing similar hikes with one of my sons. Thanks for all the effort you expend, not just on the adventures themselves but also in the dedication with the professional post processing to bring us all such enjoyment with 'being part' of your adventures and giving us new ideas and plans! Best wishes to you and your family for 2024.
Thanks Paul - very much appreciated :)

As you would say. Stunning. That was great to watch, really love your vids. All the very best for the new year.
I can't find the words to tell you how I appreciated this video. Amazing views, amazing adventure! Happy New Year full of more like these ones!
You need to strip down to show us exactly your layering system 😂. I'm kidding of course. Thanks for giving us one long video instead of 3 separate ones. Looking forward to seeing where you head next year🙂
I would need a lot of money to to do that (might loose 99% of my viewers too 😂😂😂😵💫
Very enjoyable. Great summits.... love Stac! Fabulous areas. thanks for the inspiration today to go it solo Murray. Usually with a pal but rarely solo. despite the storm it was top!! Happy New Year..... onwards and upwards. D
Brilliant video thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas
Another great video Murray.
It was nice to see Gerry again with you.
