Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 22
📝 What are you studying? I just finished studying English Literature at the University of Exeter. But we are students for life, and I hope that I will continue learning even though I am out of structured education.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📝 Have you written a book? My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85

Ruby is that surreal multiverse reality I tap into everytime I wanna feel how magnificent life is! Thank you so much Ruby for being my escapism novel 🦋
Oh my goodness this has made me smile 😊 thank you so so much x
Oh my goodness this has made me smile 😊 thank you so so much x
Yes!!!!! So true!
So well said ❤
@@RubyGranger8 I wish I could be friends with you may be in the multiverse💞
I live in Scotland and it always makes me so happy when people come and visit it and say how lovely, beautiful and stunning it is. It makes me feel proud of Scotland 😊
my dream is to move from London to Scotland one day/ I left my heart in Scotland
you must always be proud of Scotland, it's a wonderful place and I love it so much. 💙🏴
I hope to move there one day🤍
Awesome..!
Your country is a blessing! I love Scotland with all my heart!
Ruby should narrate documentaries on TV professionally. The one scene where she's standing in front of Scone Palace totally felt like something out of a documentary and I love it!!!
Like Lucy Worsley !
I was just about to comment that I could imagine Ruby presenting a history or travel programme! If you see this Ruby- is that something you'd ever be interested in doing?
so true!
This is so true! She's got such a calming voice - perfect for children's' audio-books as well!
You are not human. You are something more, something finer than human. I don’t even know you but I’d fight a war to protect such an amazing example of what a person can be! Keep going, keep shining for us all.
A long bookish-themed video!?!? PERFECT.
Bookish is always the best 😊
When I saw the notification of a 42 minutes long video by Ruby, i eventually grabbed my mug of tea to dive into the world of fantasy with you! You know the skill to get the most out of your visits. Thank you so much for being you ruby. Love❤️
What tea are you drinking? I'm sat here with a mug of fennel tea and a candlestick burning as the clouds overhead turn purple. I hope you have a lovely evening and thank you for being here x
@@RubyGranger8 I am with my chocolate flavored tea mug here and you enhanced its flavor ☕💕
I made a whole thermos and cut an apple to enjoy the video! I dream about going to Scotland someday. Ruby also inspired me to go to museums and galleries so I probably will go somewhere during October holidays🍁
I am eating my acai bowl whilst watching
Same, Except I watch it over dinner, instead of reading.
It's so beautiful to see the bond you have with your mom!
I’m so lucky to have here 🍀
@@RubyGranger8 Enjoy her company. I had a special bond with my mom too but never had the chance to visit Europe with her. This year I’ve had the chance to do it but I can’t help feeling like she should’ve been there with me. I visited the castles she would’ve loved and thought about her every single day. 💕
You and your mother have the sweetest relationship.
Ruby’s mom saying “keep your nose out” to ruby about her journal made me laugh so much 🤣 10:23
cute!
Ruby: The poetry is not really good.
Also Ruby: Gives me goosebumps by reading the "not so good" poetry
Ruby puts me in such a literary mood.
a 43 minutes video??? exactly what i needed during exam season, something relaxing with positive vibes 💖
Good luck with your exams Clarisa!
Ruby, your mum is a such charismatic person! It would be great to see her more often and have the Q&A with her ❤ enjoyed this video with both of you❤️🙏🏼
I agree!
It's staggering how you're mother does share each and every one of You're go_to activities like reading and journaling , you are such a great family . I really did enjoy the entire video without skipping . My greetings to you from Iraq 🇮🇶❤
As a Scot I can confirm that 5 minutes outside of any city in Scotland there will be beautiful scenery I live near Glasgow and couldn’t recommend it more but I’ve been to Edinburgh often most recently in the summer and it is a beautiful city I hope you enjoyed your trip 🥰
I'm from America and have ancestry there and adore the stone aesthetic everywhere. Want to visit so bad :)
She reminds me so much of Emma Watson😍
My heart can't handle the aesthetic vibes of this video. I adore you ruby! ^^
I hope you like it!
It’s so cute and cozy. I love it ❤
I'm only about 10 minutes in. I'm going to try and savor this long video, bit by bit, because I don't want it to end. I've wanted to visit Scotland since 199t when BRAVEHEART came out! (Yes, yes, I know parts were filmed in Ireland. I would love to visit both places!)
Beautiful trip so far! And priceless memories to create with your mother. Thanks for sharing!
Ah Yesica! I hope you enjoy it in its many instalments (maybe I’ll have to film more long videos in future!) x
The poetry about seagulls was absolutely beautiful !
It’s my dream to be able to take my mom to Scotland 😊 ever since she came to America she’s always wanted to travel to historical places. She’s been OBSESSED with the Outlander series and the Scottish highlands and history. I’ve always wanted to go for its literary history so I hope this is something we can do very soon. So happy to see you and your mom doing the same !!!
Yesss!! I love when you post longer videos especially adventures like this ❤
How I wish to visit Scotland. Everything about the country is so fascinating. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for your beautiful video ☺️ and I admire your mom, she is so supportive of your vlog and filming you entire trip!!
Loved this vlog so much! Your mum and you, Ruby are a delight to watch! Scotland looks so amazing!
I always enjoy your travel vlogs! It makes me feel like I’m there with you and always makes me want to go traveling to different areas! You always make me feel inspired and productive!
always a treat whenever you upload! thank u sm ruby! when in need of a little more motivation i find myself rewatching your videos
This vlog is just so cosy and calming. Thanks ruby for bringing us along to scotland!
That church is where Charles Dickens got inspired to write a Christmas Carol. Festinating to hear that. Everything looks pretty old but I believe that's how Scottish people prefer to keep it like that to never forget their culture. You must be blessed to be at Scotland with you mom for a visit around a magnificent town. You're lucky to have her like a friend. Thanks for the video.
What a wonderful glimpse into what Scotland has to offer … absolutely magical. I’m so inspired to visit. Thanks again Ruby for another lovely video and loved seeing you and your Mum having such a memorable time together ☺️
I am from Edinburgh(the outskirts) and I watched every minute of your video. Engrossed the whole way through. Scotland is gorgeous, I take yearly trips to various villages or islands with my friends and it always takes my breath away. Your video was 10/10 and captured a sufficient amount of rain to make it authentic. 😅
This is such a beautiful video! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos recently and they’ve been such a comfort, but I think this one if my favourite so far! I love your relationship with your mum, it reminds me a lot of my own with mine! I’d love to follow this trip one day too, I love the bookish theme through everything!
how amazing places to watch for al of us who have never been to Scottland and maybe would never do! Thank you so much for that! It's so obvious you and your mum enjoyed to the fullest your travelling there! I especially love your positivity and open spirit! It's so vital in our day and age of hustle, pessimism and anxiousness...
Hello Ruby, I just wanted to say that this is such a lovely video, thank you so much for uploading it for all of us to see. Your relationship with your mother reminds me so much of me and my own mother. I am very glad to see that you seem to have such a great connection to your whole family.
That swim in the ocean looked very cold but I'm sure it made a great memory, haha. Now I definitely want to go to Scotland one day!
I hope you had a marvelous time and that all is well with you.
Ruby's videos, especially a delicously long one like this are just the epitome of that internal glow you feel when you make your world cosy. Thank you for this longer episode Ruby, it was a fabulous start to my day (and I fully support your Mum's need for a daily cappuccino😅)
I wish we had longer videos from you like this!! I loved this trip, you have inspired me to visit Scotland! ❤️❤️
Great vid Ruby, thanks. You really went all over. So nice to see how well you and you mum get along.
I always enjoy watching these videos, they motivate me to improve myself and appreciate the smaller things in life so much. I appreciate Ruby so much for sharing these parts of her life, and for inspiring me to be more productive and to reach for my goals in life. Thank you so much!!
Easily one of the best videos you have ever made and I have seen on TH-cam in a long long while. Beautifully done ruby! I watched it twice already, the music, the relationship amongst you and your mum.. and your poetry goes beautifully with the images you collected in this video!! Well done!!
Absolutely loved this! it made me feel so cosy and happy and really want to go to Scotland with my mum, keep doing these types of videos they're great!
Absolutely loved your vlog of Scotland! I am very proud of my heritage and you described it so well! I need to visit again soon! Mum and Dad are so lucky to have you as a daughter x
I loved this video!! We need more long form from Ruby! I also loved your poetry! All around great content and some much needed escapism!
I desperately now want to go! Thank you for sharing such an atmospheric video - I could feel the rain, smell the food, and hear all the noises of the forest.
Your poems are lovely. You are so blessed to share your loves with your mom!
oh, Ruby! This is the 4th time i have watched this wonderful tour with yourMum. And it is simply magic. the sweetness of y'all's relationship, the appreciation of all things Scottish, the places you visited combined with my hope of one day getting to take it in for myself is such a cozy pleasure. what an excellent tour!
I absolutely love this video Ruby , I have been to Dornoch last year , & I live a hour away from Perth & Edinburgh ❤ so glad you made this video of the places I’ve been to . This was so cozy to watch and look back on some of the places I have been too . So glad u love Scotland 🏴 . Xxxx 😊
This was lovely Ruby and even more special since you got to share it with your mum, the scenery was beautiful makes me want to explore more and get about alot more, thank you so much for sharing, this will be one video to look back on again and especially for you and your mum
Scotland is so fascinating ! much love and thanks for this amazing video 🥰
Absolutely love this video so much! Thank you for always inspiring me. 🧡
wow such an experience, I can't think on anybody else who would enjoy this as much as you did. Everything feels so magical.
This was a very lovely and inspiring video , it is so wonderful you share the love for books and writing with your Mom and could do this trip together . Really thank you for sharing , I definitely will put Edinburg on my wishlist , I also find Scotland very intriguing . My great grandparents lived in Glasgow during WW I and I still have books and a school report of my grandmother . Old letters and books are such a treasure. 🍀🍁
My last trip to Scotland (Edinburgh and the Isle of Skye) was May 2018. I took photos of that humongous clock too! That was a great trip. Glad to see you were enjoying yours with your mom and having a great time. I felt emotional watching this video. Thank you very much for sharing this fantastic week of yours.
Wow! Scotland is beautiful. I'm glad you got to experience it. Right now I'm cozied up with a spiced cranberry herbal tea and cuddled up, binging watching your autumnal videos. Glad you and your mom had so much fun.
What a great video. Thank you for taken us to Scotland with you and your mum. Bookshops are a must when you are away. Hope you enjoy the books you brought x
Ruby,I am so grateful to you for this beautiful vlog!Visiting Scotland is my greatest dream,and watching this video,I feel that it really worth it🤎
Wow, what a beautiful, amazing trip and what wonderful memories you captured with your mum! x
Thank you for such a brilliant vlog. Scotland is a place I've always wanted to visit but never have but thanks to your vlog I feel like I know it better. Thanks again.
This right here is possibly the most beautiful vlog I have ever seen. I have no words. Ruby you are a delight
I also wanted to add how much I loved this video. It's beautiful. Your writing is lovely. The woodland walks look incredible, and I love your phone case! Thank you for letting some of us see parts of the world we may never see.
I love Scotland and especially Edinburgh, too! My daughter and I went during the Fringe Festival in 2015. Completely coincidental timing, we'd never heard of the Fringe Festival. It was so interesting! You don't mention visiting Edinburgh Castle, did you have a chance to see it? Thank you so much for bringing us along on your trip. 🙂 I do recommend the book "The Fair Botanists" by Sara Sheridan. It's set in 1822 Edinburgh and centers around the Botanic Garden and two women, one a botanical illustrator and one a perfumist. A very interesting read!
Ruby this is such a wonderful video!! I was so glad to see you were in Scotland as I arrived in Edinburgh with my mom on the same day as you! I have just moved to Aberdeen for my Masters Program, partially inspired by your videos and Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain. Thank you for sharing your trip with us, it was beautiful and has provided me with a lot of inspiration for adventures 💕
I love your relationship with your mum, so so beautiful ❤️ thank you for visiting Scotland, it suits you! We'd love to have you back 🥰
this is officially my comfort vlog now (every vlog is amazing but the lenght and the vibes of this oneeeee)
Incredible arm chair travel! This is amazing and so dreamy. I love everything about it and am so happy you shared it. Your poetry is beautiful and you should not be intimidated at all, it is beautiful. It was so delightful to see your mom and definitely would like a friend as her. The owner of the B&B seemed to be so personable and attentive to you both. I hope you do get to back for another stay there. Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip! 😊
What a lovely trip to share with your mother. It brought many memories of trips to Scotland many moons ago, one of which was with my Mum who was Scottish. It’s a magical landscape, and you’re right: there’s nothing like a good Scottish drizzle!!
Scotland is my favorite place in the world. Your poetry captured it in such a lovely way. Thank you for the mini virtual holiday.
Ruby, I literally cried while you were reading your poetry. It was so moving and brave to share ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing it, might not have been Easy. It honestly made my evening ✨
Wonderful Ruby, so enjoyed this trip! Just lovely to travel along with you and your Mum sharing your discoveries and enjoyment 👍😀💕
What a delight to happen upon your trip to Scotland. (Going there really needs to be on my bucket list.) I appreciate your schwa de vivre and literary sensitivities. Seeing young readers gives me hope.
You have some of the calmest videos. Great work, Ruby.
Loved seeing you and your mum chat so easily with each other. A lovely insight to your relationship :)
I loved hearing your poems Ruby thanks for sharing them and with the back drop of your magical holiday they were even lovelier ❤❤❤
hi ruby and rubys mom this vlog was just so beautifull i loved that you got to do this with your mom its so special to have special memories with with your mom, i really miss them as my mom passed away 19yrs ago and we always used to do little trips xxxxx
I've booked tickets to see the snow Queen ballet for my boyfriends birthday in November and we are travelling to Edinburgh for the weekend for it. This has made me even more excited!! The way you have put this video together is so beautiful Ruby xx
I enjoyed this video soo soo much
Somehow your videos don't stop getting better as you go on on your journey! So proud of you❤️
I loved this video!! I spent a week in Scotland this September, and it was wonderful to see it again through your eyes!
Ruby, when you started reading your poem I felt tears in my eyes because of how beautiful it was! You really have a way with words, you are so talented! Also this trip looked so fun!
I absolutely loved every second of this, thank you Ruby❤️
Your videos are so interesting and relaxing to watch, you speak so beautifully too. Thank you Ruby xx
This is by far the best vlog of Scotland I've ever seen 😍
I love this that every single thing in your videos is on its place
And everything is neat
And I can't skip watching your vids
I LOVED watching this, Ruby! So happy I found your darling channel! I miss Scotland so much - thank you for making this video! Reminds me of how utterly green the grass is & how the foggy chic outfits made me want to cuddle up with shortbread. What a fun castle to tour! Hugs from Atlanta! ❤
Oh WOW! Such an enjoyable vlog. So full of atmosphere and visual delights. I love Edinburgh but have never been to The Highlands. Glad you both had a brilliant time.
I *wish* that all your videos were this long! It feels like you did so much in a relatively short time.
I was planning on going to Paris next year for my 40th, but now I'm debating Edinburgh instead...
Wonderful video, thank you for taking us along!
This would be truly such a dream of a vacation! I absolutely loved seeing everywhere you went and all of the beauty!
Loved this Ruby. Wow. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure. I love Edinburgh, there is something so very magical about it.
What an amazing trip. I love Scotland and every time I go I see something different. Loved all the coffees and the landscapes and the galleries. Very inspiring as you say!
So glad you went on a holiday with your mom. What a great memory for the both of you. I liked your poetry. Your really good, you know! 🤗🤓Til next video! Thanks for sharing! 💗
❤️what a treat! Thank you Ruby !
Ruby, your writing is beautiful, never be afraid to share your work, it’s enchanting. ‘ now the day sleeps ‘ is beautiful…..you are one very talented lady.
i just finished watching and this was so cosy and comforting! i watched it while drinking a big mug of chamomile tea
I number of years ago , before the visitors center, I took a boat across Loch Ness up to Urquhart Castle and felt something squeeze at my heart. I've been to Scotland 4 times now but it never ceases to amaze me and I fall in love with it more each time. There is something about it's wild beauty that even time seems to stand still for. I have been lucky enough to travel to many countries but it is Scotland that always remains my favorite.
best video ever!!! This was such a wonderful video, full of intrigue and wonder!
A really bookish and magic trip! Thank you for bringing this magic to our lives!
Ruby you did an amazing job documenting your trip and thank you for sharing your experience with us. Scotland looks absolutely beautiful and magical! Thank you for sharing your poetry with us. Your writing is beautiful!
so true!!
I'd love to see more videos like this one from you, Ruby. I truly loved it
