  • Join me on my east to west journey along the Moray Coast Trail. This spectacular section of Scotland has so much to offer and is full of incredible geology and history. For anyone thinking of visiting Scotland this may help you decide which area to see or offer a complete guide to walking along the Moray Coast. Whether you are a solo female hiker, a family, or a group of friends, you will thoroughly enjoy this part of Scotland. In addition to the coast you can also explore the famous Whiskey Trail or walk the Speyside Way which takes you from the coast into the beautiful Cairngorms. I moved to Moray county three years ago and still feel that I have so much to discover!

    I am a married mother of 2, work a full time job and an artist. I long to travel so badly, so I'm so appreciative of these videos as I'm living vicariously thru you and your travels. Many days I feel 'stuck' in life and these videos help❤

    Just wonderful. I solo walked 120 miles on the Cornish Celtic Way out of season in 2022, I didn’t paint but I wrote every day and the experience was profound. I think your video has given me the idea for my next long walk. Thank you so much, your videography is stunning.

    You know they say life is no fairytale,....but listening to the music in the background, thinking about your love story, your full time artist lifestyle, in Scotland navigating the coast, filming, and painting. I'm guessing there must be days you wake up and pinch yourself. It sounds magical. And I don't want that to sound unrealistic. I know like many of us you struggle with mental health, and life is well life. But gratitude can literally heal pain, trauma, and other emotional ailments. And your story is really quite lovely and dreamy. I experience joy in watching your journey.

    • @sarahinscotland
      @sarahinscotland  ปีที่แล้ว

      I know it can seem that way when watching someone else’s life online. But remember we don’t share everything. Although I do share personal stuff in many of my vlogs, there’s also a lot I don’t go into because it’s just too painful or uncomfortable. But yes I do pinch myself when I remember where I am. Often times it feels surreal. I’ve actively made choices to seek beauty in life.

    Cool video (Lossie person here). Re: the mudflats at Culbin. You'll notice the dozens of poles sticking up from the ground. They're WW2 defences too - anti glider landing defences. For years I thought they were to do with fishing nets or something.

    I recently watched your video and was curious about the book your brother bought for you called “Set in Stone”. I bought the book myself and I’m loving the read! It’s amazing to learn about the geological history of Scotland in it. I live near Mt. Rainier in Washington State, uSA..a 14,000 footer.. Glencoe ( one of your favorite spots) at one time was about 47,000 feet! Yikes!

    • @sarahinscotland

      He’s doing OK. Not back to normal, although sometimes he almost seems so. Each day is different. The other day he wanted to play for hours and then slept the rest of the day. Today he was super lethargic and didn’t want to play at all. There’s still lingering symptoms, especially in his legs, but the bright side is I see little improvements each day. I think it might just be awhile before he is himself. I’m just happy he is still with us 🥰
