Hi there, wow, fantastic van/life, i am planning to do the same asap, i live in a flat in Dundee too! haha, this is the sort of life i want for myself. I have been trawling through the videos on youtube for ideas and tips etc, discovered this video and i will look forward to more content if you post on youtube? Take care.
I was watching Netflix and sitting on my couch…..it was just BORING! Amen to that my friend. Good on you
Thank you! 👌😎
Netflix sucks !
Now he's watching Netflix in his van, naked in bed 😂
This is my dream to run off in a van since I was a kid ,my daughter might be moving out soon and her middle name is Sky not Skye though lol great van!!
What a lovely soul this man is ....very pleasing to my eyes 😊 living his truth ❤
Thank you ☺️☺️☺️
Yes, I agree! Awesome way to live your life!!😊
haha i love how they gave up trying to bleep you after 10 mins lol true Scot
😂😊
Loved this video, such a nice positive guy. Love from a wee Scottish granny.
Aww thank you Ann 😊
The best thing about England? It's next to Scotland !❤
An honest and straightforward account of Van-life from a proud Scotsman. I Really enjoyed the interview and some great advice. Thank you.
Thank you 😎
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🚙 42 is the meaning of life. Love this guy, his attitude & philosophy. Great practical choice of a van. Here's wishing you many happy years of exploration 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Aww thank you Angela! ❤
@@scottishmaninavanI subscribe to your channel because of this video and your awesome van 🚐 💨 I’d like to see more videos of the interesting places you go to in your van in future 💙💙💙
What a great episode. We're both in our mid 70s now so only go out for holidays but in our late 30s we went to live on a narrowboat with 5 children. Go for it, you've only got one life!! Good luck to you.
Amazing! Thank you 😊
Awww loved this guy. I'm a Scottish gal and I just appreciated everything he was saying about the life we are "expected" to live and then being able to break free from that. And just not give a toss about what others think. 😂 There's a part of me that craves such freedom and I've watched loads of van lifers but I loved relating to a man from my home for a change 😊
Aww thanks Charlene, I'm glad it resonates with you ☺️
What a top bloke, great attitude and great outlook on life.
Thank you ☺️
You are legend bro!
I went to Scotland for a few nights summer 2023
Edinburgh, Stirling Castle etc... Beautiful country, absolutely fantastic people!
❤ from Poland 🇵🇱
👊💯😸♥️👍🏻
Cheers Tom! I've been to Poland a couple of times myself in the past, loved it. The food was incredible, as were the people 👌😎
Handsome man. I love his accent. 😇 😊 Greetings from Germany, Anni
Thank you 😊
A proud Scotsman, and a Dundonian just like myself.
Get in there anni.❤😂
@@andrewpaton2683 ???
Fantastic, as a caravan park manager here in Australia I get to see so many different ways you can set your home up on wheels & they’re all impressive.
Love this channel 🍻🇦🇺🤘
Thank you 🙌
These two are just awesome at it!
Can't wait to get my van ..and explore the beauty and people of Scotland...HEAVEN ON EARTH❤
💙🏴💙
You'll be made to feel most welcome.
Next to Wales🤣👌👍🏴
Smart man. Get your life the way you want it while your young.
Now, you find pleasure in simple things. Better late than never.
Cheers.
Watching you from Ontario, Canada.
Absolutely right! Thanks for watching 😎👌
Well what a lovely video, very pleasing to the eyes, 😉 love Scotland, love his attitude and take on life, definitely your time, enjoy 💙🏴
Thank you! 😊
The Scottish music at the end is nice! What is it?
Must admit that I couldn't imagine you doing this, when i worked with you over 8 years ago, but you always had a really positive attitude. Really hope we can catch up when you travel to Spain this year.
100% Mike 👌😎
Where are you now? I've bought a van that was converted, but i want to do a bit to change it first.@scottishmaninavan
You’re such a gentle soul. I love Scottish music.
Love your van and also that you are from Dundee! I am in Florida but my maternal grandpa was born in Dundee and later grew up in St. Andrews before taking off and seeing the world! My grandpa lived to be 100 so I got to know him well and hear his stories and life. He was a Fyffe (MacDuff clan). Married and came to America in his 30s, had 4 children. I have owned two VW Westfalia camper vans in my life and loved them. Wish they made them again. Traveled most of eastern America in them.
Man You're HandSome Scottsman 🎉 via NYC
Thank you 😊😊
Brilliant. What a sound lad.
Cheers Tony 👌😎
Me and hubby used our van last week. Stayed near Loch Lomond. I agree. Even in Scotland. Teddy bedding. I woke up numerous times boiling lol. Was in the Highlands last year. Love Scotland. Still got many places there to see.
Those sheets are a godsend aren't they? Enjoy exploring more of Scotland when you come back! 😁
Yes they are. Thankyou. Will do. @@scottishmaninavan
Love love this. You are a free spirit and loving life. My husband used to live onboard his yacht in Plymouth. He was retired. Then we got together and he moved to N Ireland. I loved the freedom of having no ties and the simplicity. We sailed round Scotland for the past 4 years with our dog. Got married in Plockton with just our kids and the dog. Unfortunately due to Ians health we had to sell up and i now drive our Motorhome! Big changes but just had to adapt. Planning a 3 month trip visiting all the places we love but just by road! Leaving Ireland in June. Stornoway for Heb Celt ( 4th time) then up to Orkneys for 1 month. Considering Shetlands too! We love Scotland so much. We have another dog with us this time. Bit of a tight squeeze but off we go! PS we have a wine and whisky stash too!
What a charming guy who is mesmerizing as he shares his incredible van life. I bet women and men alike were imagining sharing his van ... I know I was 😊.
Glad I could view this inspiring video.
Aww thanks very much, lovely thing to say 😊😊
You’re living a great life, traveling & enjoying Scotland 🏴 Handsome man, beautiful accent, and adventures. 🏴💙
thank you! 😁😁
Thank you for introducing to us another fellow traveler with his head screwed on right. ♥♥ I enjoyed this video so much, that I'm off over to Instagram to see more of David.
Awesome! Thank you Beth ☺️
Really enjoyed meeting you Scottish Man, respect your patriotism, and that you live for yourself. I envy your freedom.
Cheers Ken! 👌
Patriotic Scot but their country is poor, overcast 11 months per year, potholes everywhere and everything closes at 5pm. Delusional Scot more like.
Freedom, lol. They take orders from England. They were not allowed the independence results of indyref 2 because it was not sanctioned by Westminster, lol.
Scottish man in a van- living Philosophy. It appears he has found purspose and meaning for life by transcending fears and self limiting mindsets. Toptastic.
Laughing at the no swearing sign as he lets F bombs go off! 😂😂 guess it's just a suggestion more than a rule. Lol! I have the same van in American version, midsize wheelbase & short roof which I can still stand up in.
Love the accent. I miss my grandparents. Mom born in Dumbarton came to the US as a toddler. We both plan on going back to the Motherland for a visit. I have never been. Gotta be the good daughter & take her soon.
Lovely build. Love the color!
Rules are there to be broken 😂
@@scottishmaninavan lol
Mum was from Dumbarton? As was David Byrne. But you probably already knew that, I suspect.
@@jimdunbar5461 no idea wtf you mean but I suspect you already know that 🤷♀️
@@theroaminggnomad If you take the trouble to re-read what I've written, then you will understand exactly what I mean. It's written in simple, straightforward English, ffs.
What a really nice bloke! Great to meet him and listen to his story, and the van is nice also👍
Thank you! 😊😊😊
We are from the Midlands, we absolutely love Scotland, and last September, we where lucky enough to see the northern lights on the Isle of Mull, can't wait to return in September this year, where we have a month to explore 😊 great blog subscribed, looking forward to many more blogs.
Wow that would've been amazing on Mull! Highly recommend Fidden Farm Campsite, it was amazing
Greetings from South Wales. Am 78 a live in ma van as well, people have looked down their noses at me, itsa free country, but a love this life wakin up to a crackin view most days, even when its pissin down its so lovely the patter of rain on. the roof, i dont give a shit what people think, ive met loads of lovely people in vans, so safe travels butty🏴👌👍
Yes, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Love the accent.🤗
Thank you😊
Looks like a great life. ❤🇨🇦🏴
Lived in Dundee for a few years and honestly I think you need to go out to the lovely Scottish countryside to not go stir crazy. Great van tour, sounds like a wonderful change in life.
There's so many places near Dundee as well to do exactly that
I've been living on wheels as a nomad in the US for 19 years now, it's easy over here. I'm toying with the idea of returning to the UK (born in England) and doing it there, but at 62 with a teensy pension, I'm not sure I could afford even that lifestyle. Enjoy the videos, keep them coming, it's helping me to figure things out.
Fantastic life change David at probably the perfect time in life ,all the very best on your travels from a fellow Scot .
Cheers Colin!
I wish David had a youtube channel. For those who limit their social media to facebook and youtube then we have no options to watch him. Great van. Great kilt. Cute knees. :)
I may start a TH-cam at some point but not right now
He made the right choice! fair play sir. Lovely to see the little robin bobbing around too... safe travels and adventures. atb
Thank you!
Hi from Helensburgh enjoy your journey ❤️🏴🏴🏴
Thank you!
Brilliant. I love seeing that more and more people, of all ages are taking to alternative lifestyles. So right that many people say they wish to do something different. The hard part is actually doing. But if you can find the confidence to try, it is truly rewarding.
100% agree 👌
Waoo! I love his approach to life ❤🎉 very self conscious and honest! Love love love the van and his lifestyle and he is fit too😂😂
Haha that's Laura ☺️☺️☺️
Part of the Van Clan. Good on him.
Thank you!
Switched on fella,Yep cost of living has us all thinking alternatives,our van is out the front as we currently staying with Father in law to give him some comfort after his wife passed but as we sold our house we are definitely thinking fulltime in future picking up work as we move around Australia in near future.Looking forward to a more simple life.
I have a lot of family in Oz, I was actually born out there to Scottish parents who moved 'home' when I was 10. My cousin was telling me about how crazy the house prices are now, it's bonkers! so I reckon you're on the right path to some kind of freedom from that shite 👌
@scottishmaninavan yep for sure mate,my older kids are struggling to stay afloat now let alone try to get a place of their own.
@@dismaldog same in the UK man, it's a disgrace
Love it !! Living the good life !! Fair play to you for taking the plunge!!💛🌻
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this episode. What a great gentleman. Couldnt agree with him more. Very inspiring indeed! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you, lovely thing to say ☺️
you are such a good lad...A big huge HELLO from Turkiye...good luck mate...All the BEST ...
Thank you!
Wow. Greetings from Texas, David!
Fantastic video. Fantastic attitude. Safe travels my friend!
Cheers Jimmy! 👌😎🥃
I totally love this Scottish man in a van video! Makes me want to put my kilt on and jump in my van and enjoy van life and get away from it all. Thank you for sharing this very appealing and well done video.
Thanks for watching 😊 glad you enjoyed it!
❤❤❤
I'm from Essex but have spent half my life now living 11 miles north of Dundee. Scotlands Glens and loches are magical go on big man!
Essex accent ruining Scotland great 😴
They certainly are Dan. Love Glencova/Glen Doll up to Corrie Fee etc. one of my favourite wild camp spots 👌
That van is fab. I would happily live in it, be tempted to drive to the sunshine though. I live in Angus and work in Dundee 💙
Always try to do the same in Scotland where possible. Heading to Europe this year 😊
Great informative video. I’m 71, but this would definitely be the life for me.. Appreciating and being in nature, is so good for the soul.
Thanks for sharing.. absolutely brilliant!!
Hi thank you for sharing your lovely life with us.
Freedom to live the life you want. You're doing it. You are so inspirational. It's my goal too. Thank you for sharing so much.
Thank you 😊
Great video great van so jealous of this man’s lifestyle fantastic

New to your channel. Loved your van, and no nonsense attitude. Your still young my friend. I will be 62. ,wish I could do it for a few years before I get to old . A pleasure to meet you. Keep em coming. . Thanks david❤
Cheers Michael 😎
Amazing video 👍👍👍👍 he’s really happy and that’s what life is all about. I’m currently playing to move to a van too . Paying £1600 plus bills for a property that never be mine.
I was the same man, paying someone else's mortgage for them when renting. Decided enough was enough! Good luck to you!
Loved!!! What a lovely bloke...and from my birthplace too! Liveration, I LOVE this channel. That you just let your guest's shine, speaks volumes about the type of people you are. Keep on keeping on. Big ups and bless ups 🙏
They're the best!
Thank you for the great comment! And yes, what a guy! 🙌
Great to see a scottish lad braking free! Im 43 and pushing hard to follow soon. Vids like this are very inspiring! Keep on your liberal journey. You look fit, healthy and happy. I too wasnt born to be caged! 🦅 Good on you man! 💪🏼
Cheers Gareth 😊
Wish u awe best bud on yer travels . Enjoyed and liked 👍

David is awesome and what a great lifestyle and getting free from the norms of society.
Good man !!
Fantastic, so many underlying sentences that resonate with me, nearly three years on the road in various vehicles, lookin to move to Spain this year for the warmth n to treat my Harley to smoother roads, converted Iveco camper n a Harley in the back, what more do you need in life.
Oh n the music was stirring ❤
Superb Billy, sounds like a plan! 👌
L❤VE your life David. Well done. ❤❤
Thank you! ❤

Great video, love the van and David’s attitude, gotta agree about Skye it’s such an awesome place, so a great name 😎👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼
Thank you!
Fantastic young man. I just love the pipes. Take care.
Good attitude, good outlook on things, fair play to him
Fantastic, really inspiring, its great to see someone doing what they want and living their best life ❤
Thank you, I'm certainly trying to! ☺️
I've been working from home full time since September 2018. I've always been a bit nomadic and have thought about trying this kind of life, but that would be quite a leap for me. So I'll continue to live vicariously through you for now 🙂
Does this kilt dude got a channel? I want to see more of what he’s doing!!! Looks awesome!!!
Yeah, his channel is linked in the description 🙌🏼
I don't post on TH-cam. Just Insta and TikTok just now. Insta being the main one. I may opt to start making TH-cam videos but not yet
Really nice van setup!
Nicely done, couldn’t ask for much more although plenty more would be quite welcomed. 😉
Oh wow I could listen to this guy all day … awesome van
Thank you
No swearing in the van but swearing outside the van is okay. 🤪😜 Very easy on my eyes too. Glad you are enjoying your new way of life.
Rules are there to be broken 😉👌😂
@@scottishmaninavan Then don't be surprised if you get swearing in your van contrary to your sign, Scottish man! 😁😁
On ya go man! I totally relate to the whole thing about hitting 41 & just not caring about other peoples opinions. You definitely made the right decision by the looks of it. Best wishes on your travels!
Thank you!
Just came across your channel and got to say glad I did, you keeps it real and might I add easy on the eyes 😊 you should visit Nl Canada
Canada is on my list for one day!
@@scottishmaninavan you really would love it here especially in Newfoundland
What an absolute inspiration Scottish man on a van is 👌
Thank you! 😁
Another great video Sophie and Ryan👍🏻.
Loved hearing your story David, similar to ours😊
Thank you!
What a life,and what a van you have sir!
Cheers pal, appreciate that 😁
You are amazing! Love your outlook on life, much joy to you!
😊
What an absolute legend.
😎😎😎
Love the van and your attitude for life, as life is definitely too short, and if i was driving past and you stepped out looking like BRAVEHART i am afraid my ABS breaking would be tested to the max 😂😅 i am originally from Belfast, but live in a wee seaside village near Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway, it is packed with motorhomes round here in the summer 🚛 Drive safe and enjoy your new lifestyle!! Paul
Haha cheers Paul, appreciate that 😎👌
Congratulations David on escaping "DumpDee!!!"🥳👏🏻 My hometown too and I can't stand the place...this video gives me hope!! Can't wait until I've got my van and I can fuck off too.... I'm thinking somewhere sunny where there's no ridiculous hate speech law!! #humzauseless Love the van and the appearance from the wee robin at 9:30 minutes in (Loved one in Spirit saying hello) Happy safe travels ya lucky bastard!!🤩🚐🤗💗
Love your van. Its so well designed. I bought a mini caravan which is big enough to stand up in. The beds turn into two work areas during the day. Freedom in nature - there's nothing like it.
Fantastic Emma!
