    I’m sure that’s the chippy in Ballater. If it is we have stayed in the cottage directly opposite with the large wooden gates twice. Lovely area. Loch Muick is stunning, done that walk many times. Went into the bothy at Queen Victoria’s place there also. We did also get pulled for our pronunciation of loch Muick, the way you say it it’s Lock Mick!

    • @Professionalmoochers
      @Professionalmoochers  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s the one! I remember the gates.
      Yeh I’m an expert in saying loch muick now, as I’ve been corrected enough 😄
      We’ll definitely be returning here, hopefully stay the night in the bothy.

      You make your own luck 😉
      We find ourselves naturally drawn to the west highlands but the Cairngorms reminds us, every visit, just how uniquely wild it is! It’s outstanding 😍

      @Professionalmoochers Absolutely Alan, I am always drawn to the remoteness of Scotland. There is something chilling about being alone in the wild, the Monroes and mountains just make you feel good to be alive.

    Very poignant timing for us watching this vlog, we know Loch Muick well, fabulous place. First did the walk around the loch 8 years ago with a very special friend who died suddenly last year, far too young. We are returning this week to retrace our walk, happy, sad memories.
    Jack is doing brilliantly, he’s a lovely boy.

    Okay, you've sold it to us. Definitely decided we'll be heading up there next year. That music at the beginning was so dramatic, Ruth was hoping Daniel Craig was going to emerge out of the loch in his speedos! Great footage BTW.
