Oh wow I want to bike 🚲 the trails in Scotland 🏴 now! Gorgeous views everywhere, even on windy stormy weather too! I especially love the hidden castle. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us
This is what I love about Europe, unlike Canada, there are very old places and structures and architectures that hold so much history. Hope to see more Sarah. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your country! I LOVED the castle, so sad to see it in ruin but still nice to see some parts of it standing. Looking forward in seeing the rest of your journey!
Wow, fantastic castle! Living the dream. We have the Mesa Verde pueblo ruins here in Colorado, but it's more of a formal, guided experience. "She's got the grace of a swan" had me in stitches. And all that wind! Ooof. Thank goodness for fuzzy microphone covers...
Thank you for taking us on the journey with you... I love Scotland and all its nature. Plus you feel alone in the world most of the time which is a luxury in this crowded Europe.... Keep it up, can't wait for the next one!
Amazing as always! And I too would be very afraid, not only the height but I am also very afraid of deep water. I am looking forward for the next of your videos, they are a little escape from my daily chores. 😊 Thank you (and Wolfie) so much for making these little documentaries for us all to enjoy.
I cant even put into words how stunning the scenery is! And just watching how close you are to the edge of the cliffs makes my poor terrified stomach to flips! Yikes!!!! I'm terrified of heights!
Another wonderful video filled with beautiful scenery…I always look forward to seeing your videos pop up in my notifications and today I also received your fantastic brush set and love them!
I am so sorry to hear about your fur baby. I lost my dog Dakota last year suddenly and I am still trying to find a way to come to terms with it. I know you will miss your little precious cat. I will keep you in my thoughts and wish you peace and comfort.
Gorgeous video! That pheasant would’ve give me a heart attack too! 🙀🙀 😂 That castle ruin was very cool. It would be terrifying and too creepy in stormy weather - glad you had sunshine. Thank you for taking us along. I just got a set of your brushes and I’m trying them out now - they are great! I am really looking forward to taking them with me on some fun journeys. I love the teal handles too! Safe travels to you both! Greeting from Texas!
Sarah, join the crazy artist - photographer club! The things we do, the fears we forget, when going in search of that perfect photograph, hearing its call, and the need to find it... and when it's taken, wondering how the heck we got there, and more, how the heck do we get back? Well, of course, we do, cos there are yet more beautiful fascinating things to photograph on the way back... Crazy, completely crazy, but what beautiful, wonderful photographs (and in your case, videos, too!) - forever and unforgettable. Oh, I do miss being able to use my non-digital SLR!!! Maybe one day... maybe... Thank you both for this lovely video. I've learned to keep these till it's dark and the day's work is just about done before watching, because it's the best way to take it all in. Sleep well, Sarah. 😊
I love film photography. It was how I learned and I miss it. But I couldn’t keep up the expenses of getting it developed and scanned. Maybe someday when I retire 🙃 haha never gonna happen! 🤣 oh well. I think I’ll get my film camera out again in the future when I go to Italy.
Wow, Boyne Castle ruins were awesome looking! And the yellow gorse (sp?) was stunning! I can never get yellow flowers to look good when I paint though 😒 😅
Oh Sarah I had to look away or close my eyes several times. I couldn't take the cliff views as I too am terrified of heights. However, the parts I did see were stunningly beautiful as always.
I love seeing the scenery of Scotland through your videos! Those cliffs would have me scared too. I don't do too well with heights and the thought of deep ocean at the bottom doesn't help!
You need a giant laminate sheet to overlay on your big map so you can highlight your journey! Also, even though it's called Portsoy Marble, marble (altered limestone) is different from serpentinite (altered ultramafics) but one is often mistaken for the other.
Ah interesting! I was wondering because when I started looking into it things got confusing. The photos look like serpentinite but they certainly label it as Portsoy Marble. There is a cool report I found showing swirly patterns too. I need to go back and investigate
Beautiful, Sarah! Thanks for sharing your journeys with us. The coastline is very similar to North West Tasmania - I can see why my parents felt at home here in Tasmania after leaving Scotland. After you finish your journey down the Aberdeen coastline perhaps an easyish (haha) route might be the Fife Coastal Pathway? Maybe not quite as scenic as other parts of Scotland but there are some great wee spots, lots of history, and lovely fishing villages. Could follow it down to Culross or thereabouts, and then a whole section of East coast Scotland would be 'done'! Whatever you decide, I'll be watching from halfway around the world 😊
I’m headed to Fife for an art workshop in July so I will scout out the coast too and get an idea. I enjoy sections that aren’t super dramatic too. I like quiet beauty and maybe it will give me a good reason to explore some towns and do urban sketching :)
Yea I’ve been looking at trail maps and read some reports. Sadly much of the coast is blocked by farm with barbed wire fences, so I may end up using the small road along until Gardenstown. From there to Troup Head it looks like there’s a footpath but yes VERY hilly 😅 I’ll be feeling the burn!
@@sarahinscotland probably the easiest way to do it but there's a lack of places to chain up your bikes if your cycling. Taking the car.. park at New Ground (parking area just past Elie's Tea shop), then walk from there. The biggest hill is the one out of Crovie (dirt track, can be slippery), once you've recovered from that the rest is pretty easy. In gardenstown walk across the beach then take the wee path through the den up to St John's kirkyard. Trust me. The view 😍. Don't forger to check the tide times at high tide the path between gardenstown & crovie can get covered.
@@sarahinscotland BTW.. if you do a sketchbook piece in or around Crovie & fancy doing another.. We're having a big plein air celebration and exhibition on the 12th of August 😉. Yell at me if you want details.
Sarah I have 4 more days and I’ll be in Glasgow OMG the places I want to see things I want to do we will there for 17 days doesn’t seem like enough time places to hike wow my heart is beating so fast just thinking about it any good museums in Glasgow I should visit? Thank you I’m advance Sarah love watching your videos
It’s a very old Panasonic camcorder with 90x zoom. I hope to upgrade it this year so that I can have better quality and stabilisation. Yellow bushes are called gorse :) they are beautiful!
These videos are utterly beautiful. But I have to say my stomach is flip-flopping. Every time you go near that windy coastline and look over the edge. It really is uncomfortable for me. So I don’t know how in the world you are doing it there.
Well done with your fear of heights - you get much closer to the edges than I would!
The wide angle lens makes the edge look closer, but it still was terrifying
Oh wow I want to bike 🚲 the trails in Scotland 🏴 now! Gorgeous views everywhere, even on windy stormy weather too! I especially love the hidden castle. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us
There are some really great trails here that I never knew about. Getting a bike was the best decision!
@@sarahinscotland So thrilled for you. So many more adventurous opportunities for you & your art journey! 🥰🎨!
Fun video. Love it. What a beautiful place.
It really was lovely!
Loved the pheasant moment! 🤣🐦
RIP my brain 😂
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I thoroughly enjoy watching the exquisite beauty of Scotland through your eyes. ❤😊
Wow, so cool that you do more of your coast hike. Im so happy to watch... ❤❤❤❤❤
This is what I love about Europe, unlike Canada, there are very old places and structures and architectures that hold so much history. Hope to see more Sarah. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE, I LOVE, I LOVE THESE VIDEOS SO MUCH! 💞
Thank you for sharing! Stay safe! 😊
So glad! 🥰
This video was so good -- I won't even see another video today! Anything else would just be not as awesome as this one 😊
Yikes! I can’t believe you walked over that finger of cliff! Such courage! 🫣

Being immersed in nature is a wonderful feeling. 🌿
Love your drone shots of this beautiful coast. Great music also. Looking forward to the next leg of the trip.
Thank you!
Love it! Thanks for showing us the map!
Amazing as always! And I too would be very afraid, not only the height but I am also very afraid of deep water.
I am looking forward for the next of your videos, they are a little escape from my daily chores. 😊
Thank you (and Wolfie) so much for making these little documentaries for us all to enjoy.
I'm scared of heights and deep water too 😅 and yet I continually find myself on ocean cliffs
@@sarahinscotland I am drawn to mountains and cliffs and used to go rock climbing too. 😅 It is just so beautiful ( and scary)
As amazing as this journey is for us; I would think it is even more so for you guys.... Such fun; you always leave us wanting more....
It was too windy 🤪 it blew away my senses. But in retrospect I see it as even more beautiful
I cant even put into words how stunning the scenery is! And just watching how close you are to the edge of the cliffs makes my poor terrified stomach to flips! Yikes!!!! I'm terrified of heights!
Sorry 🤣 I think it looks closer in the video but yes it was still heart pounding and give me goosebumps
Beautiful coastline. Loved the flowers.
It’s called Gorse, it smells like sweet coconut..amazing! It’s invasive but beautiful
Beautiful video! Looks incredibly fun.
Love as always!!! And your sketch style is so enjoyable
Thank you so much :)

5:05 so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this
Good Vlog Sarah ,loved the views ,living on the edge in way ,i wouldn't go within 10 feet of those cillif edges without a parachute 😊❤.
I think I grew roots to hold me in place! 😂

Yellow is so hard to paint. Because it’s not just yellow it’s a million variations 🤪
Oh Sarah I had to look away or close my eyes several times. I couldn't take the cliff views as I too am terrified of heights. However, the parts I did see were stunningly beautiful as always.
Sorry 😂
Sarah! Sarah! Amazing!!! I loved every single bit of this -- you have captured the pristine essence of the coast of Scotland!!! Absolutely lovely!!😊😊😊
I love seeing the scenery of Scotland through your videos!
Those cliffs would have me scared too. I don't do too well with heights and the thought of deep ocean at the bottom doesn't help!
Yep, quite exhilarating 😅
West coast best coast !!
I miss the west coast!
The scenery is just downright gorgeous. 💖
I can't get enough of those views 😍
I love your videos!
Thank you very much ☺️

So similar to Cornwall there, beautiful.
Maybe I’ll see Cornwall someday :)
Me and my pal did Arbroath to Stirling last June via NCR through Fife nice journey I'd recommend 👍 mostly quiet country roads and cycle paths
That sounds lovely!
what are the yellow flowers?
has the pt given you some good tips for hand stretches as an artist, or neck?
Gorse

When you come and do gardenstown & crovie, take extra fluids, our section is nothing but relentless very very steep hills.

That camera has a very long zoom. What camera are you using? I really liked the yellow bushes.
It’s a very old Panasonic camcorder with 90x zoom. I hope to upgrade it this year so that I can have better quality and stabilisation.
Yellow bushes are called gorse :) they are beautiful!
what was the spiral sketch book you were using on this section please?
It’s a Stillman & Birn nova (beige), love it!
These videos are utterly beautiful. But I have to say my stomach is flip-flopping. Every time you go near that windy coastline and look over the edge. It really is uncomfortable for me. So I don’t know how in the world you are doing it there.
Adrenaline 😆 but then I get super nauseous and run away
