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.
Wow, so many long threads and deep connections to this special place, thanks for sharing yours, each of you. Islands are powerful places and this one clearly holds a special place in many people's hearts and lives. Long and fondly remembered.
I can only echo what everyone else has said. The incredible beauty of the scenery is just so stunning it makes me want to cry. You just did it justice. Thank you Steve.
Very enjoyable! I would love to travel on Skye and overnight in a bothy! You guys make the impossible , possible for me!!!!! Much appreciated! Thanks so much!
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
🙌 two hands up from me to visit more Bothies. And please invite us to come along 😁 I’m sure loads of viewers would be up for a shin dig in a bothy one night 💚💚💚💚
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!
Another great film. For those interested in wildlife, we took a longer trip from Elgol, stopping at Canna and Sanday, and saw basking shark, golden eagle and sea eagle, red deer on Rum, all sorts of other sea birds. What a great 4 hours.
Man I love Scotland, wish I was there right now. Since I haven't been able to go that many places lately, videos like this really help keep me sane. Great work Steve!
It is nearly 30 years since I last visited Skye. This wonderful video brought the memories flooding back😊. Thanks for reminding me of some of the places I enjoyed so much!
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.
Many thanks Steve for bringing back so many memories of a younger me. I remember driving all the way from Sheffield to Skye in one go, 495 miles and having to pay £12 for the Skye bridge. Looks like you did ok with the weather as well. All the best Mike in Sheffield.
Without a doubt, the best Skye video I have ever seen. Interesting, educational, entertaining and inspiring, with fantastic scenery captured. Thanks for that.
Hi Steve, how you show the beauty of our land is truly amazing. Your content is just unreal this has got to be my favourite journey so far. Added bonus always love to see you both exploring together, can I just say what a great picture Alicja drew in pencil. Steve thank you so much as always.
Absolutely stunning video Steve. The Scottish Tourist Board should hire you lol. You captured the most beautiful island in the world brilliantly. Martin
I visited Skye 40 years ago and had forgotten how stunning it is! You brought it all back with your wonderful film. Now I’m planning another trip and definitely going to take the turntable ferry. Thanks so much and I’d be very interested in seeing more Bothys.
I always think of the song 'The far Curillin's are pulling me away', the tune is now in my brain forever (well today anyway). 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! Im thoroughly enjoying y’all’s videos. Not only am I able to view amazing places, but ur commentary is great. I have to laugh @ some of ur funny jokes. I live in the states & have never even heard of a Bothy & would really enjoy seeing more as y’all travel. Thanks so much for sharing the places u visit. I look forward to seeing them 😉
Steve, I love all of your videos but this one has to be up there with the best, the scenery looks unbelievable. The music and filming is fantastic and love the way you both have loads of fun sharing your adventures. Skye is somewhere I definitely want to visit one day for sure. Keep on travelling and sharing your journeys. More bothy videos would be great as well 👍🙂
Brilliant video, I have done the ferry many times and also the boat trip (via Bella-Jane) 3 times. Even walked round the loch one year. Took over 2 hours from memory but was well worth it.
So lovely to see Skye again! Such a stunning place. I recognized some of the places you visited but it was great to see those off the usual tourist routes.
Absolutely stunning! I went to Skye last autumn for a day trip and it just did not do it justice, that boat trip from elcoll? Elgoll?? I've forgotten, is a must!
Hi Steve and Alicja absolutely loves this video, the scenery and colours are amazing. The sea was so vivid and beautiful. Definitely on the to do list. 👍
Beautiful blue water! Loved the fairy pools. Too bad you don’t sell prints of the photos you take. I’ve seen half dozen I’d love to have. Great trip, as always, thanks for taking us along.
I keep saying it Steve...your choice of subject...the quality of the film...and throw in a mixture of good music & some interesting facts along the way...makes your films...one of Scotland's best exports...like its whisky! well done and thanks so much.
12:12 The sunset views from the wee layby are fantastic - Cuillin Ridge, Ardtreck lighthouse, The Outer Isles and MacLeod's Tables in a single sweeping vista.
Hello Steve and Alicja....this has got to be your best vlog yet,fantastic scenery.I''ve been to Skye twice but only for weekends and not long enough to see everything as you know. Alicja always seems to be so happy,it must be the fresh air that does it! Thanks again for your amazing work Steve. 😊
I’m sick right now and this was truly the best medicine!! Thank you Steve for sharing these beautiful landscapes and your charming commentary with us. More bothy content please!
hope you are on the recovery..i stay in skelmorlie.north ayrshire scotland... i have just got a new knee..walked the hills all my life with my border collies...i explored many parts of scotland with my off road 4x4 landrover...now got a citreon c4 electric car.. preparing to get get away soon up the islands and west coast.. hope is all well. get in touch..thanks alan clark.
WOW. A couple of years ago and Loved seeing places I was able to get to when we went to Skye in May. A mini refresher tour. You guys are so cute together.
I discovered your channel by chance and am currently watching one video after the other, your video of Skye, my secret dream place where I have been several times, is simply breathtaking and beautiful, thank you for your great video Steve and Alicija, greetings from Germany ❤ SCOTLAND ❤
That evil ram on the cliff...he is the eye of Skye. And you are right - 3 days is not enough time there, as we can attest. But we learned loads of history there, especially about that infamous bridge, Flora Macdonald, and Saucy Mary. Cheers for bringing back some good memories. Well done episode!
Fantastic video. Stayed at the Neist Point Lighthouse cottages for 2 weeks back in 1990. Remember our luggage being hoisted down using the winch! No way could handle the walk to the lighthouse now! Had a fantastic meal at the Three Chimneys.
I felt as though I was on vacation in Skye myself because you both caught it so well. The scenery was awesome, actually breath taking. The idea of a sleepover in the Bothy on a stormy night..Yes!! Thanks for that guys, a real weekend tonic for me. And thanks for sharing a great vid.
You struck it lucky with the weather even although it was a bit windy. Glad you went to my suggestion of Rubha Hunish. It was great to see the bothy again. When I went there in 2019 whilst walking the skye trail it was being renovated. Glad to see it finished!. Also did not know about the turntable ferry. Very cool. What an island! Keep up the great work! All the best from Seattle.
Hey Steve, your views of the island are hard on the heart; your lighthearted narrative goes well with the breathtaking views that I swear I've seen before! It puts meaning to the words, eye eye! Ernie
Stunning video. Places we visited 3 years ago and some we will see in two weeks. Cannot await our forthcoming trip to Scotland. Got several valuable tips from some others of your videos . Thanks mate , stay healthy. Regards from Germany.
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!
Still catching up on all your travels ... You two are just the best guides ever....Keep taking us along with you its magical sharing your enthusiasm 😂😂😊😊😊😊😊
My word!! Thank you for a lot of memories!! We were lucky to have three weeks on Skye in 2016. Looks like you packed everything into three days!! Great vid had me smiling all the way through. Keep safe and well.
Just beautiful - and you went there to film at the best time when there were less people and no midges, yet you had wonderful blue skies. I would love to visit that Coral Beach!
Thanks this brought back long forgotten memories of 50 years ago. Hiking on Skye, catching the post bus from Broadford to Elgol. Hiking to Loch Coruisk over "the bad step", then scrambling up Sgurr Alisdair followed by scree running down to Glen Brittle. Finally walking back to civilization at the Sligachan Hotel.
another beautiful and exciting trip. I love the fact that you make it to all the lighthouses. those are my favorite architecture! it's amazing how curvy and Switchbacky those roads are. almost had to break out the Dramamine. thanks again for being great tour guides. both of you be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
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
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!
thats the first video of sky i have seen, can't believe how big and stunning it is gotta go there thank's for the tour, may i say you have such a lovely young lady at your side funny with a lovely accent all the best
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.
What a great video Steve. I enjoyed it so much. Will definitely have to spend some time on Skye now that I know what to expect. You do a fantastic job on your videos. Appreciated so much.
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.
Sooo good thank you and I'm pleased you enjoyed it too...amazing...I only ended it early as we have have to go out...will binge later on the big screen
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.
Wow, so many long threads and deep connections to this special place, thanks for sharing yours, each of you. Islands are powerful places and this one clearly holds a special place in many people's hearts and lives. Long and fondly remembered.
The beauty of TH-cam, taking us to places without limits, rekindling romantic memories… beautiful.
Great video Steve, it is my fav place in Scotland, along with Glencoe. Landscape beauty
The landscape reminds me of the Lord of the Rings, magnificent!
Aww how sweet, I've never visited that far North, it looks beautiful 🎉🇫🇮
I can only echo what everyone else has said. The incredible beauty of the scenery is just so stunning it makes me want to cry. You just did it justice. Thank you Steve.
You know what, me to, I guess its really where I am from, and just found out like 10 years ago :) ✌
Very enjoyable! I would love to travel on Skye and overnight in a bothy! You guys make the impossible , possible for me!!!!! Much appreciated! Thanks so much!
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
wow good on you sir, great memories
🙌 two hands up from me to visit more Bothies. And please invite us to come along 😁 I’m sure loads of viewers would be up for a shin dig in a bothy one night 💚💚💚💚
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.

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!
Thank you, the two of you made the videos very informative. The cenery is beautifull. No litter any where. God Bless.
Such a relevant and well worded comment dear Sir. :}
Great comment Bob, take care my friend
I can’t wait to experience this
Im just watching this episode again too. Fabulous episode. Skye is spectacular place. I love the Bothy and would love to see more Bothy episodes
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..

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
Thanks so much for sharing this. It means the world to me!
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!
I love the sound of the alarm clock. I must have it🏴
Another great film. For those interested in wildlife, we took a longer trip from Elgol, stopping at Canna and Sanday, and saw basking shark, golden eagle and sea eagle, red deer on Rum, all sorts of other sea birds. What a great 4 hours.
Wow, can you really see all that wildlife up there, thats great, making me want to bunk off work and set off now.
Man I love Scotland, wish I was there right now. Since I haven't been able to go that many places lately, videos like this really help keep me sane. Great work Steve!
And i should add, that path to Neist Point is soooo much steeper in person than it looks on video :)
Glad to help Jason, cheers! :)
Ditto. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
@@paris5551000 Same here .
Thanks so much! Unable to travel much, myself just now, so this video was a delight.
It is nearly 30 years since I last visited Skye. This wonderful video brought the memories flooding back😊. Thanks for reminding me of some of the places I enjoyed so much!
That shot of the sun disappearing behind the mountain - just sublime.
Wonderful! Thank you both, from Aotearoa/New Zealand. 🥰👏🏼
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.
Getting more and more like a theme park now Iain , too busy , not like it used to be unfortunately
Many thanks Steve for bringing back so many memories of a younger me. I remember driving all the way from Sheffield to Skye in one go, 495 miles and having to pay £12 for the Skye bridge. Looks like you did ok with the weather as well. All the best Mike in Sheffield.
I’ve always wanted to go because my Granny was from there. This has inspired me to do it next year in the motorhome.
You both are making me jealous with all this beautiful scenery 😮
Brings back memories of the same trip we did but walked back over the Black Cuillin over 2 days. Stunning.
Without a doubt, the best Skye video I have ever seen. Interesting, educational, entertaining and inspiring, with fantastic scenery captured. Thanks for that.
Going back and watching your older stuff, absolutely gorgeous video. What a truly breathtaking place xxx
Exactly what I'm doing. Whilst waiting for a new video, back track on some old stuff I missed
So romantic you have a very rare talent for filming. THANK YOU
Hi Steve, how you show the beauty of our land is truly amazing. Your content is just unreal this has got to be my favourite journey so far. Added bonus always love to see you both exploring together, can I just say what a great picture Alicja drew in pencil. Steve thank you so much as always.
Thank you! It gave us a very good base for the itinerary of our upcoming trip in May! 😊
Absolutely stunning video Steve. The Scottish Tourist Board should hire you lol. You captured the most beautiful island in the world brilliantly.
Martin
Yes they should hire Steve and Alicja...:):):)
I visited Skye 40 years ago and had forgotten how stunning it is! You brought it all back with your wonderful film. Now I’m planning another trip and definitely going to take the turntable ferry. Thanks so much and I’d be very interested in seeing more Bothys.

Thanks so much! They deserve all the credit they get, and like you say, lifesavers!
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.

Brilliant video, I have done the ferry many times and also the boat trip (via Bella-Jane) 3 times. Even walked round the loch one year. Took over 2 hours from memory but was well worth it.
Probably I one day shall make the islands and highlands of Western Scotland. Stunning landscapes and communities. Thank you for your work!
So lovely to see Skye again! Such a stunning place. I recognized some of the places you visited but it was great to see those off the usual tourist routes.
Skye is indeed a 'Dream Destination'. Thank you again for a marvelous video
An absolute gem of a video, what a wonderful stunning country Scotland is, take care both of you, so looking forward to the next video.
Absolutely stunning! I went to Skye last autumn for a day trip and it just did not do it justice, that boat trip from elcoll? Elgoll?? I've forgotten, is a must!
I took that direct bus from Glasgow to Portree and it was amazing! Beautiful scenery all the way! ❤️🇿🇦🏴❤️
These Friday videos are becoming a true treat Steve!!! Love it!! 🏴 said it before travel Scotland should be in touch with you the job you do!!!!
Cheers Arron! Happy Friday :)
Hi Steve and Alicja absolutely loves this video, the scenery and colours are amazing. The sea was so vivid and beautiful. Definitely on the to do list. 👍
Beautiful blue water! Loved the fairy pools. Too bad you don’t sell prints of the photos you take. I’ve seen half dozen I’d love to have. Great trip, as always, thanks for taking us along.
I keep saying it Steve...your choice of subject...the quality of the film...and throw in a mixture of good music & some interesting facts along the way...makes your films...one of Scotland's best exports...like its whisky! well done and thanks so much.

Breath taking views on Skye, it's been years since I've been there. Thanks Steve for taking us along and making such an awesome video in the process
I wish I could come to Scotland again. I miss it very much especially after I watch your video. I love to hear your Scottish accent, too.
WOW. A couple of years ago and Loved seeing places I was able to get to when we went to Skye in May. A mini refresher tour. You guys are so cute together.
I discovered your channel by chance and am currently watching one video after the other, your video of Skye, my secret dream place where I have been several times, is simply breathtaking and beautiful, thank you for your great video Steve and Alicija, greetings from Germany ❤ SCOTLAND ❤
Without a shadow of doubt 10/10. Have never been to sky. Thanks Team ❤️❤️
Just beautiful, not enough words to describe the beauty of this wee country called Scotland, we are so fortunate.
That evil ram on the cliff...he is the eye of Skye. And you are right - 3 days is not enough time there, as we can attest. But we learned loads of history there, especially about that infamous bridge, Flora Macdonald, and Saucy Mary. Cheers for bringing back some good memories. Well done episode!

Another great video which brought back many happy memories. And a good shout about the bothies 🙂
Absolutely love Skye, thanks for taking me there.
Stunning video. Places we visited 3 years ago and some we will see in two weeks. Cannot await our forthcoming trip to Scotland. Got several valuable tips from some others of your videos . Thanks mate , stay healthy. Regards from Germany.
Great timing, Steve - we are off to Skye in a fortnight! Some fab tips from you, added to the itinerary. 👍
I've used the Glenelg ferry way back in 1966 and it was very good indeed.
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!
Welcome aboard thanks! :)
Patty- I've always wanted to go to Scotland. That was beautiful. Can't wait for your next trip.

My word!! Thank you for a lot of memories!! We were lucky to have three weeks on Skye in 2016. Looks like you packed everything into three days!! Great vid had me smiling all the way through. Keep safe and well.
this video has seriously made me want a visit to Skye...looks wonderful and thanks for another fabulous video steve and alicia .
Just beautiful - and you went there to film at the best time when there were less people and no midges, yet you had wonderful blue skies. I would love to visit that Coral Beach!
Skye is surely a wonderful place to visit. I have been a few times and was still finding new adventures. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thanks this brought back long forgotten memories of 50 years ago. Hiking on Skye, catching the post bus from Broadford to Elgol. Hiking to Loch Coruisk over "the bad step", then scrambling up Sgurr Alisdair followed by scree running down to Glen Brittle. Finally walking back to civilization at the Sligachan Hotel.
We went to Skye this time last year. Loved it. Great Video! (From Julia Mac) :)
Great video again Steve I love Scotland. Keep up the great work.
That was a pleasant virtual visit to Skye. Thanks Steve & Alicja.
Beautifully shot, one of the best vlogs I have seen of Isle of Skye
Thanks so much! Wishing you a lovely trip
another beautiful and exciting trip. I love the fact that you make it to all the lighthouses. those are my favorite architecture! it's amazing how curvy and Switchbacky those roads are. almost had to break out the Dramamine. thanks again for being great tour guides. both of you be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
Just amazing again guys,got 3 days booked on Skye beginning of September, think that boat trip is on my must do list now,
Thanks 👍
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!
Thanks so much for including my video in your research! Wishing you a fantastic time!
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 😍
Many thanks Steve and Alicja,i have never been to the isle of Skye til now .
What a stunning isle,Glad you took me round with you both.
An absolute pleasure to show you around :)
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.
This video is the best one yet. Skye just looks incredible. Well done Steve and Alicja.
So emotional on SKYE brings a tear to my eye even just seeing the beauty as I travel with you two. big thank you
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.
I watch this particular video because it brings back such wonderful memories of our wandering son Scotland! Thanks guys! Again!
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!
thats the first video of sky i have seen, can't believe how big and stunning it is gotta go there thank's for the tour, may i say you have such a lovely young lady at your side funny with a lovely accent all the best
Another beautiful vlog Steve and alicja thanks, yes would love a bothy tour,maybe overnight on previous island visits.
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.
Hi Steve love your accent . My mother was a war bride from bonhill. I cherish the beautiful scenery of Scotland. Thanks!
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.
Great as usual.The island is so beautiful that I will go back with when you go.😀
What a great video Steve. I enjoyed it so much. Will definitely have to spend some time on Skye now that I know what to expect. You do a fantastic job on your videos. Appreciated so much.
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.
Sooo good thank you and I'm pleased you enjoyed it too...amazing...I only ended it early as we have have to go out...will binge later on the big screen
Another fabulous video and I’m glad you got the sunshine. Every time I’ve visited Skye it’s been pouring!
