Love it, cracking van
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 ☺️☺️☺️
Loved this video, such a nice positive guy. Love from a wee Scottish granny.
Aww thank you Ann 😊
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🚙 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 💙💙💙
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 😎
haha i love how they gave up trying to bleep you after 10 mins lol true Scot
😂😊
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 😊
Handsome man. I love his accent. 😇 😊 Greetings from Germany, Anni
Thank you 😊
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!
Another great video. This guy made the right decision. I love Scotland. I car camp in my Citroen c3 picasso, with my dog. We did Loch Lomond, Skye, Lewis, Harris and the Uists in 2021, the NC500 in 2022 and Kintyre, Arran, Bute, and the Cairngorms last year. This year I hope to do the Orkneys.
Superb! I've yet to do the Islands so can't wait to do them later this year ☺️
The Orkneys are great - go to Sanday - its a fantastic Island - I went in the winter and its was still great - just me and my dog.
@@VisionsofChina superb 👌
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 😎👌
Looks like a great life. ❤🇨🇦🏴
Can't wait to get my van ..and explore the beauty and people of Scotland...HEAVEN ON EARTH❤
💙🏴💙
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
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?
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.
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 👌
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 👌😎
Brilliant. What a sound lad.
Cheers Tony 👌😎
The best thing about England? It's next to Scotland !❤
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 ☺️
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
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
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 ☺️
OMG the pipes always bring me to tears, love em.
❤❤
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
What a really nice bloke! Great to meet him and listen to his story, and the van is nice also👍
Thank you! 😊😊😊
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.
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 😊😊
What a great guy , really inspiring . Wishing you many happy van years.
Thank you Sue! ☺️
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!
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
What a top bloke, great attitude and great outlook on life.
Thank you ☺️
Beautiful! I’m in the US but everything he said was universal
Thank you!
You’re living a great life, traveling & enjoying Scotland 🏴 Handsome man, beautiful accent, and adventures. 🏴💙
thank you! 😁😁
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 🙂
You’re such a gentle soul. I love Scottish music.
Man You're HandSome Scottsman 🎉 via NYC
Thank you 😊😊
Fantastic life change David at probably the perfect time in life ,all the very best on your travels from a fellow Scot .
Cheers Colin!
Beautiful scenery and my time is *Awesome*. I hear ya. Thank you for Sharing. Happy🤗 Van life outdoor living. Texas/USA 🇺🇸
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 👌
Yes, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Love the accent.🤗
Thank you😊
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 😊
Fab video love your van and kilt in 66 this yr and im selling up this summer, I'm ready for my van now been watching vids since covid
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.
Part of the Van Clan. Good on him.
Thank you!
He made the right choice! fair play sir. Lovely to see the little robin bobbing around too... safe travels and adventures. atb
Thank you!
Love it !! Living the good life !! Fair play to you for taking the plunge!!💛🌻
Thank you!
Wow. Greetings from Texas, David!
Fantastic video. Fantastic attitude. Safe travels my friend!
Cheers Jimmy! 👌😎🥃
Me watching it thinking he 26 hearing he got 21 yr old 🙃 x
He's a handsome fella
Haha Thank you! ❤
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 ☺️☺️☺️
bloody hell did he have his kid at 10 yo! Good luck to him! looks like an awesome way of life.
Haha no, 21
@@scottishmaninavan i'm sure the van life and the simple way of living, away from the toils of the rat race will continue to bless you with your youthful complexion! Subbed to your channel and look forward to any videos you post!
I’m Scottish too and I’d love to do this, seeing the northern lights and all the beautiful scenery and night skies etc - but I’m too girlie, would need a separate shower/toilet area 😂
Brilliant David , lifes too short ! About to embark on a huge life change myself and it definitely involves more van life 🎉🏴
Superb! 👌😎
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! 🙌
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
David is awesome and what a great lifestyle and getting free from the norms of society.
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! 👌
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!
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 😎
That was the most down to earth, honest AND inspiring video on real vanlife I have seen! Fitting mine out right now. Can't wait. Thank you from a Scot in Australia ❤
Oh wow I could listen to this guy all day … awesome van
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 ☺️
“…aye! and it’s a raffle” 🤣
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!
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 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
Respect from the Highlands of Scotland
Fantastic young man. I just love the pipes. Take care.

What an awesome bloke and very envious
