    Great to see Skye again. We spent our honeymoon here 60 yrs ago, returned on our Silver and Golden wedding anniversaries. Now in our 80s and not fit to travel so far I enjoyed the video so much. Thank you Steve.

    Many happy memories of Skye climbing in the Cuillins.Worked on the New Road from Scronsar to Slighan away back in 1962/1963.Deserted Single Track Roads not like that now and visited in Oct 2023 could not believe how busy it is now.At 92 years of age now like to remember it as it was in the 1960s.Stayed in croft at Lower Breakish for 7 months whilst working on the new road at Scronsar just as well with the Multitude of Camper vans on the Roads there now.Thanks Steve for your Video made a Old Man happy looking back

    Steve and Alicja, this is the second time I've watched this video. It's been over 17 months since it was posted, so the timing of this comment might seem a bit tardy, but it's the current events in the world that make me appreciate this -- and other of your videos -- all over again. With all the war, disinformation, and economic uncertainty we're faced with today, your videos are like a warm hug on a cold, rainy day. Seeing the serene natural beauty through appreciative eyes, hearing the interesting dialogue supplemented by subtly humorous captions, feeling like a friend who's been invited along on your adventures... It's all priceless and a very welcome break from the news -- and a reminder that reality is not confined to the bad news we're bombarded with, but also the beauty of nature and accomplishments of people, past and present, who've helped shape our world in very positive ways. Thanks again for all that you do!

    My daughter was in Skye a couple of weeks before Steve....and she was giving us the lowdown on most of the places you visited, meanwhile I'm just back from Polmont with visits to Burntisland and Lochearn. I used to go up to Lochearn fishing with my granda when I was a youngster, the eyes grew moist when I went to the place where we used to camp.....such happy memories.. Burntisland wasn't bad either I met the FM and had a photo taken with her. A cracking short trip up "back hame".... Thanks for an excellent video Steve, words alone cannot describe the beauty of Skye...the videos bring home what a glorious place it is.

    A strange reason to thank you for your travel blogs, Steve. My husband is in the terminal stage of dementia and, at times, can become very agitated, weepy and angry. I have found that showing him your journeys, listening to the gentle background music, and your gentle Scottish accent calms him and gives me some 'me' time. Dont stop what you do, it is more entertaining than you know

    I remember sailing in to Portree Saturday pm, needing diesel for the yacht, no shops open, no cafe, nobody around on a Sunday, and no diesel except by ordering 500 litres from a tanker. We found a fisherman who sold us some, it was 11p per litre! That was 1985, its all changed now!

    Skye was part of my patch from 2006 through to 2016 when I left the Highlands after 25 years. My heritage on my late fathers side is Highland even though I am Edinburgh born and bred. This makes me want to return, it’s a stunning island.

Never been to Skye been in Scotland a good few times and always enjoyed my visits. Thank you for sharing your trip, I look at the pair of you walking effortlessly over the hills and mountains, I can just about crawl to the opposite side of my living room now, age and cancer I'm afraid but I can always dream of walking beside you two in spirit. Thank you.

    Thanks Steve and Alicja for showcasing Skye and the work of the MBA, these shelters are a godsend. Their remoteness is their greatest asset. In out of the way spots, when the weather turns stormy these can make the difference between a chance to dry out and warm up and something altogether more drastic.

    Enjoyed this video so much. My grandmother was born in and grew up in Dundee. My grandfather’s family has a long history in Cupar. I never had the chance to meet them. My father grew up in Toronto and New York, as his father moved for work. My father never sought out his family in Scotland even though he was so proud to have that connection. I would love to travel to Scotland for an extended trip. Your channel is so special to me. And you are both so kind, and generous and wonderful.

    Hi Steve & Alicja , I recently subscribed to your channel as you really seem to enjoy your short trips and they make great viewing. Even though I'm not far away (just across the forth!) you still inspire me to visit places a bit further from home. You are a very engaging presenter (like you've been doing it for years) and the videos are also very professional. As the lovely Alicja features more and more that makes them all the better, although you are both very brave sleeping in a van in some of the Scottish weather!

    I loved this video! I will be traveling to Scotland in May and staying on Skye for 4 nights - I cannot wait! All of this was very helpful - thank you so much!

    Steve, what a fantastic trip you made there! That ferry was just incredible - wish we had done that when we went. But seeing this vlog brought back so many wonderful memories of my visit to Skye (you went to my favourite place of all: Neist Point...a little piece of heaven on earth!). Thanks for the memories of the beautiful island!!

    Fantastic mini tour of Skye, brought back some memories for me. We used to rent a cottage in Ault a'chruinn at the head of Loch Duich which was handy for the bridge to Skye. Spent hours just watching the ferry at Glenelg and there wasn't the option of a boat trip from Elgol if I remember correctly.The view of the Black Cullen was amazing though. Thanks Steve and Alicja 😍

    An amazing video from you both. Our holiday again this year is back to Skye, Harris and Lewis like we did last year. 4 days on Skye then 4 on Harris and Lewis then back to Skye for another 4 days. Can’t wait to be back in August with the kayak.

    I remember going on holiday to Scotland in the 80s..We stayed in a lovely cottage in the grounds of Sterling university..I remember the concert Live Aid was just starting on t.v as we arrived on the Friday afternoon..My cousin went to stay on the Isle of Skye for a couple of days with his friend and I always remember them telling me it’s the best place they had ever been and raves about it..I hope to go visit in the next few years and camp over so I’m going to sit back and watch your video..Thanks for posting, take care everyone

    Excellent vlog as usual. That boat trip and hike back to Elgol is now on my list.

    Stunning video - as you say, the camera fails to capture the colour of the water, but brought back memories of our visit to the Coral Beach. The A87 as a whole is stunning, gorgeous views round every corner all the way from the Great Glen to Uig.

    Fantastic road trip again, Steve. I guess one of the remotest of the bothies is at Glengarrisdale on Jura, but I ain't going to challenge you to go there. You'd knock the bottom out of your amazing Tardis - like van long before you got near! It's most easily reached by sea.
    I used to love being in Scotland at this time of year, you often got such beautiful light effects - and the midges hadn't got going either!

    Sheep sitting side of road 23:51 reminds me of driving around Ogmore in South Wales. Some just sit in road and dare you to drive around

    About 30 years ago my friends and I drove from Sussex to Neist Point Lighthouse where we booked to stay. Fabulous memories and great fun. Rock pools, wildlife, beer and friends. Happy days.

    Fantastic outing again Steve, great weather too! To say I was a little envious would probably be my biggest understatement of the week. Not battered with tourists either. We did the `Misty Isle` boat trip from Elgol, well worth it! Must go back some day before I get too old and knackered. ATB Dave.

    Thank you. Brought back fantastic memories of our very first sighting of seals and a whale at Neist Point, then sea eagles on the drive back to our amazing accommodation in Stein. Happy memories.
