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 🦋
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 😊
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!!!
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?
@@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. 💕
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
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🍁
You must be the most positive and wholesome TH-camr out there! The ways you and your mum look at the world are amazing, inspiring. I liked your poetry, too. Thank you - I was looking for someone who might inspire me with the 'Academia' look; and yet every other TH-camr I found tried to lead me down into some dark places I didn't want to follow. I don't mean 'Dark Academia' - as a concept devoid of anything else, that's just the flipside of an aesthetic coin. I wish you well in all of your endeavours! 🙂 God bless. PS; I'm a Londoner who lives in 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.
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.
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❤️🙏🏼
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 🥰
Outstanding! I love Scotland so much & I also really love Edinburgh! This was such an enjoyable experience! From experiencing the enchanting & charming City of Edinburgh, with all its incredible sights & sounds, as well as, such delicious looking food at really unique Restaurants & Cafes. To drinking in the beautiful views & scenery of the Lochs, Hills & Woodland walks of the higher country. On top of that, was seeing the interesting Museums & Exhibits and quaint Bookshops that you visited. Along with the lovely Hotels & cozy B&B's you stayed at. This journey was truly incredible from start to finish! Above all, though, was hearing your amazing Poetry! You are truly gifted! Your Poems have such depth & beauty and are deeply moving, reaching down into the heart & soul. One can also see that your Poetry truly reflects who you clearly are as a person! You are the best & most gifted Poet I have ever come across in this day & age and I love Poetry! As well as, I have read a lot of Poetry! I have only heard this caliber of Poetry from Poets of long ago. This is indeed very rare! Thank you for sharing this truly delightful experience!📖🌳🙂
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 !!!
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!
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.
I come from Edinburgh and lived there for 14 years while growing up, seeing you be there in places I love but haven't visited for a while fills me with so much joy ♡♡
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. 😅
Ive enjoyed watching this so much, thank you Ruby to you and your mum. I always love it how rain is your best weather! It does make it atmospheric. My mum gave me a lifelong love of books and reading. She was my best friend, and miss her. But its lovely to watch you and your mum. Would love to follow your footsteps on this Scottish adventure one day. Always the best for you, you work so hard.
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
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!
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!!
I absolutely adore this. I live in Scotland and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any visitors capture our beautiful landscape and culture as majestically as you have. I hope you visit again there is so much to see. Thank you 🙏🏼 🏴
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!!
I literally squeeled when I saw Leahy's Bookshop! I looks so cool and cozy and ughhh I want to go there... (Same with all the beautiful landscapes... My heart aches every time I see images of Scottish landscapes.) And I wanted to say I really liked the second poem you wrote, about Artemis and the doe.
I'm so excited to see this video! I'm going for a holiday in Scotland next month and I'm planning to do all the bookish things so this vlog comes at a perfect time!
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!
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 have just left Scotland for university and it's so nice to see places i associate with 'home' through the appreciative gaze of a visitor! i'll look forward to visiting more of my country when i return to it. glad you both had a lovely time
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!!
Honestly, if you're going to get stuck in a car anywhere Scotland is the place for it. Having just recently visited myself, it is one of if THE most beautiful place on earth. Can't wait to take a trip back there soon.
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 ☺️
The hype when Danse Macabre started playing around 40:30! It's one of my favourite pieces of classical music! Also absolutely adored the video, I've been meaning to visit Scotland for so long and this video might have inspired me to go there next year 😊
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!
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.
This is absolutely one of the best videos you’ve ever produced. The colors, the music and the countryside were spectacular. Still can’t get my mind around how the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road.
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!
when i saw this was 43 minutes i screamed of happiness! i've just sprained my ankle and can't do anything but lay down all day. im so happy this is so long!
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.
Unfortunately, I know English very poorly and understand only half of the conversations, but I watched this video to the end with great pleasure thanks to your sincere smile and pleasant voice. Once again, I am convinced that there are no language barriers, and I had great pleasure despite the fact that I do not know English well. You are amazing, good luck to you!
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.
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 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.
@@RubyGranger8 I live in more of an urban area near Edinburgh, and it has such a great atmosphere, but I would love to live in a more rural area one day because I love being in nature and there are some beautiful places out there! 😊🍂
@@RubyGranger8 Also, it means soo much that you replied! ☺ I didn't think my day could get any better after finding an amazing video from you but turns out it could
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...
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 ✨
An interesting and also disturbing thing about the land in Scotland is that 1/5 of our land is used for grouse shooting. The heather you see is often burned in places because the new shoots attract the grouse. Also just to say I loved this vlog from you! Its so interesting even for someone who lives in Scotland.
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
Oh Ruby I just loved this I am from America and have been to Scotland 4 times. I love the culture, the people and the beauty! Its been awhile since Ive been back so this vlog made me happy and eager to return!!!!! ❤❤
You make me feel lucky to live here - sometimes it's hard to appreciate what's "in your back yard". Although it's trendy for British people to go weekend breaks to Barcelona, and it is a lovely city, I think Edinburgh makes for a lovely romantic weekend trip too - even when it's raining! "There's no such thing as bad weather - only inappropriate clothing".
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.
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
Ruby! I had such a vivid dream a few weeks ago that you were in so clearly. I was in London (in real life) so maybe that’s why my brain thought of you. You were sitting with friends under some fancy architecture so I bounced up to you like “Ruby?!” You looked so shocked the whole time. I said something to you along the lines of, thank you so much for sitting with me while I study. You helped me feel less alone when I was at university. And then I started rambling about the way you switched from philosophy, etc, and you lost interest so I scrambled away. It was such a random dream, because I haven’t watched your channel for years. But I thought of you again and wanted to share. You are such a beautiful person, and I hope you know this. I think of you editing your videos and reading your books and feel like you are a sister on earth. Thank you for sharing your life so gracefully. ❤
This is sooo sweet, you and your mom travelling together in Scotland! I love your luggage and your books! I love all the bookshops too! It reminds me of times spent with my daughter! Such a Hogwarts vibe.
Long time ago(maybe 4years ago), I visited in Scotland. I still remember the beautiful times. I’m happy because i rememberd the good feelings, thanks to you//
I just watched the video while crocheting and loved the skirt you wore on Day 2. I looked for something similar online and went to Miss Patina and noticed that you are modeling for them. How cool is this😍 You are literally the best person they could have chosen. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous. Well done Ruby🌻
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!
Scotland is truly magical and well done on such a great promotion of this amazing place. I totally agree Edinburgh at nightime is special as i tend to make a yearly weekend visit to Edinburgh during the winter so i get to spend more time in the dark.
Even your luggage looks vintage. So wonderfully on brand for you. I really enjoy your videos. One of the bookish things I did today was that I participated in my very first bookbinding workshop. The method/technique we did today was the 'secret belgian binding' 🙂
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!
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😅)
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
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 💕
Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through you! I so enjoy watching your and your mother together. And you are wrong, my dear. Your poetry is quite lovely. Oh, and I love your Lamy! 🖋️
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.
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! 💗
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! 😊
The relationship you have with your Mom is amazing. I also loved your video about education. You were on point with everything you touched on. To me, it also depends on the person (child). I was always an over achiever/perfectionist child that was curious about everything and really tried to understand the depths of everything. I would be absolutely crushed if my marks were not good. It really doesn't have anything to do with having the latest and greatest technology if the child has no interest in learning. I remember being so frustrated with classmates that you could tell just never wanted to learn anything. They were only interested in getting by with the basics and getting out of there. Thankfully, I had a diverse learning environment in having the ability to get a public school education, private school education, and many "training" schools as well as University education. Anyway, lovely video's and I wish I had the same connection with my daughters as you have with your Mom. They are a few years older than you, though.
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 😊
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

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!

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!
Great vid Ruby, thanks. You really went all over. So nice to see how well you and you mum get along.
This vlog is just so cosy and calming. Thanks ruby for bringing us along to scotland!
wow such an experience, I can't think on anybody else who would enjoy this as much as you did. Everything feels so magical.
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.
This is absolutely one of the best videos you’ve ever produced. The colors, the music and the countryside were spectacular. Still can’t get my mind around how the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road.
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!
when i saw this was 43 minutes i screamed of happiness! i've just sprained my ankle and can't do anything but lay down all day. im so happy this is so long!
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.
Unfortunately, I know English very poorly and understand only half of the conversations, but I watched this video to the end with great pleasure thanks to your sincere smile and pleasant voice. Once again, I am convinced that there are no language barriers, and I had great pleasure despite the fact that I do not know English well. You are amazing, good luck to you!
I've been to Edinburgh three times, but I still can't get my gead around how incredible it is.
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.
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 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.
oh my goodness! 43 minutes of ruby! this made my day
also, so nice to see loads of places i recognise! (i'm from scotland and i'm so happy you had a nice trip ruby)
I hope you like it! And scotland is BEAUTIFUL! Do you live in a rural or urban area? 😊💗
@@RubyGranger8 I live in more of an urban area near Edinburgh, and it has such a great atmosphere, but I would love to live in a more rural area one day because I love being in nature and there are some beautiful places out there! 😊🍂
@@RubyGranger8 Also, it means soo much that you replied! ☺ I didn't think my day could get any better after finding an amazing video from you but turns out it could
Same ❤
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...
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 ✨
An interesting and also disturbing thing about the land in Scotland is that 1/5 of our land is used for grouse shooting. The heather you see is often burned in places because the new shoots attract the grouse.
Also just to say I loved this vlog from you! Its so interesting even for someone who lives in Scotland.
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
When I am free, it is reading that makes me calm down and have a good day
Oh Ruby I just loved this I am from America and have been to Scotland 4 times. I love the culture, the people and the beauty! Its been awhile since Ive been back so this vlog made me happy and eager to return!!!!! ❤❤
You make me feel lucky to live here - sometimes it's hard to appreciate what's "in your back yard". Although it's trendy for British people to go weekend breaks to Barcelona, and it is a lovely city, I think Edinburgh makes for a lovely romantic weekend trip too - even when it's raining! "There's no such thing as bad weather - only inappropriate clothing".
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!
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.
Loved seeing you and your mum chat so easily with each other. A lovely insight to your relationship :)
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
Ruby! I had such a vivid dream a few weeks ago that you were in so clearly. I was in London (in real life) so maybe that’s why my brain thought of you. You were sitting with friends under some fancy architecture so I bounced up to you like “Ruby?!” You looked so shocked the whole time. I said something to you along the lines of, thank you so much for sitting with me while I study. You helped me feel less alone when I was at university. And then I started rambling about the way you switched from philosophy, etc, and you lost interest so I scrambled away. It was such a random dream, because I haven’t watched your channel for years. But I thought of you again and wanted to share. You are such a beautiful person, and I hope you know this. I think of you editing your videos and reading your books and feel like you are a sister on earth. Thank you for sharing your life so gracefully. ❤
This is sooo sweet, you and your mom travelling together in Scotland! I love your luggage and your books! I love all the bookshops too! It reminds me of times spent with my daughter! Such a Hogwarts vibe.
i just finished watching and this was so cosy and comforting! i watched it while drinking a big mug of chamomile tea
This is by far the best vlog of Scotland I've ever seen 😍
Long time ago(maybe 4years ago), I visited in Scotland. I still remember the beautiful times. I’m happy because i rememberd the good feelings, thanks to you//
I just watched the video while crocheting and loved the skirt you wore on Day 2. I looked for something similar online and went to Miss Patina and noticed that you are modeling for them. How cool is this😍 You are literally the best person they could have chosen. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous.
Well done Ruby🌻
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'm learning English and your accent is so comforting to hear! It's like music to my ears
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
Scotland is truly magical and well done on such a great promotion of this amazing place. I totally agree Edinburgh at nightime is special as i tend to make a yearly weekend visit to Edinburgh during the winter so i get to spend more time in the dark.
That'll be the unicorns.
Even your luggage looks vintage. So wonderfully on brand for you. I really enjoy your videos. One of the bookish things I did today was that I participated in my very first bookbinding workshop. The method/technique we did today was the 'secret belgian binding' 🙂
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!
You would be a fantastic TV documentary presenter! Your enthusiasm is palpable and grabs my attention every time!
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😅)
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’m just desperate to visit Scotland but am unable to travel right now so this vlog is just what I needed! 🥰
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 💕
You have some of the calmest videos. Great work, Ruby.
Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through you! I so enjoy watching your and your mother together. And you are wrong, my dear. Your poetry is quite lovely. Oh, and I love your Lamy! 🖋️
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 your relationship with your mum, so so beautiful ❤️ thank you for visiting Scotland, it suits you! We'd love to have you back 🥰
Ruby, your travel vlogs are amazing. Your poetry is beautiful, and you read thrm aloud so beautifully!!
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! 💗
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! 😊
Thank you both for taking with us. A dream trip that I am able to take with you virtually.
The relationship you have with your Mom is amazing. I also loved your video about education. You were on point with everything you touched on. To me, it also depends on the person (child). I was always an over achiever/perfectionist child that was curious about everything and really tried to understand the depths of everything. I would be absolutely crushed if my marks were not good. It really doesn't have anything to do with having the latest and greatest technology if the child has no interest in learning. I remember being so frustrated with classmates that you could tell just never wanted to learn anything. They were only interested in getting by with the basics and getting out of there. Thankfully, I had a diverse learning environment in having the ability to get a public school education, private school education, and many "training" schools as well as University education.
Anyway, lovely video's and I wish I had the same connection with my daughters as you have with your Mom. They are a few years older than you, though.
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 😊
