- Welcome, if your new here my name is Faye and me and my wee family live in the very far north of Scotland, we spend our free time exploring and taking family adventures
and for those of you who aren’t new, welcome. back. beautiful people.
Today we are going to take with us on our day here in the Scottish highlands on a stunning dog walk and exploring awe inspiring castle ruins where we unexpectedly weren’t allowed in!
It may not feel very summer like at the moment but no matter the weather we like to get out into nature, take a walk and the breath taking views.
The theory of Blue Space Health talks about the positive effect of being near bodies of water.
Benefits of Blue Spaces believe to affect us in a few different ways including;
Stimulates Healing
Promotes Calmness 🫶
Promotes Better Sleep 💤
Not to mention the physical affects of being more active while out in the great outdoors exploring those natural blue spaces!
After our glorious dog walk we get ready to head out for the day. First stop is a play park meet with friends before heading off to Castle Sinclair Girnigoe.
Castle Sinclair Girnigoe is actually two castle built at different times.
Castle Grinigoe being the earliest built by William Sinclair, 2nd earl of Caithness, sometime between 1476 and 1479
then the expansion was built in 1606 when castle Sinclair was built. Which was connected to the earlier castle by a drawbridge.
It’s a beautiful ruin with such amazing energy I would highly recommend to visit if your ever in the far north of the Scottish Highlands.
As you can see many parts around the castle are very narrow pathed on the cliff edge so please do take care when visiting
but it really is worth the time to explore around the castle and down by the cove where the water laps up around the rocks and feels so powerful when chippy waters crash against the rocks. There is something so captivating about this place.
Here I am talking about the fact there is a very narrow path along the cliff edge down to this area but the wind has really picked up from the start of the day and you couldn’t here me!
After dinner we all just chilled out for the evening reading, watching and then sleeping!
I take this time to catch up on emails, messages and social media work.

Some of my favorite movies are Scottish movies, it really feels great coming across your channel. At least I get to see Scotland from a more realistic angle through your videos
That’s so cool you enjoy some Scottish movies!
And Iam pleased I can show you some glimpses of the beautiful natural world of Scotland x
Yes, I remember the flies! The deer flies, the black flies, and of course the midges. I was camped out on Loch Tongue in 2006. There were so bad when I woke up in the morning I had to quickly pack up and get out. Not advisable to camp next to a loch in northern Scotland!!

How absolutely stunning is the walk to the water and those castles?! I'll have to catch up on the adventures of you in Spain. In Australia we ate finally getting a winter , it seemed like our hot weather started on the first day of Spring and didn't end until winter began. I can't imagine wearing a long sleeve shirt even at night in summer here. You'll probably smile at our winter temps here Lol. The frosty mornings have finally gotten rid of the grubs on our greens in the garden, so I'm happy . It was lovely to come on an adventure walk with you ❤❤
It’s such an incredible place! Oh yes please do, we absolutely loved Spain, so blessed to go for a month of sunshine…. As I said in the video we haven’t had much of one since we got back 🤣
It always makes me smile how on the other side of the world you guys are the opposite seasons. I have fallen in love with Winter since moving here!
Ohhhh bugs in the garden I hear ya! Funny enough next weeks video is our the garden here and what’s been going on!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for coming along on our adventures xxx
Wow the views are so lovely😍
We are so lucky to call this place home x
So glad we found you on here to! You are living such a peaceful, intentional life! Excited to follow your adventures here!
So glad we have connected! I reckon our two families would get on so well 😍
Looking forward to binging your videos!

This is the first video I've watched of yours as I actually found your RUclips channel through Sullivan family Instagram where you posted 👍👍. We are actually from the same part of the country lol, you guys are from outside Wick and I'm in Thurso 👍. Not sure if you know much about what's on but I fully recommend the Wick Gala on Saturday and/or the bonfire Saturday week 👍, both would be good events for vlogs though both could be crowded which, by the sounds of the end of this video, your not so keen on.
We may live closer than you think! 🤣 We travel a lot around the Highlands to visit places. As we love to explore around.
Ah I had heard of the Wick Gala but have never been, we are actually wild camping this weekend so wouldn’t be able to unfortunately, but we may consider it next year. We aren’t a huge fan of crowds but if something is worth going to we still would crossed or not. It’s such a beautiful place here isn’t it? So much beauty to explore. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel xx
Ohhh hasn’t the weather been pants! What a terrible summer 😢
Beautiful place for a dog walk and what a wonderful castle ruin. I hate it when the name of something/somewhere slips my mind, happens a lot to me 🥴Great video!
I know how to say the castle name but through sheer tiredness I just couldn’t say it right 🤣🤦♀️
The castle is amazing, it’s one of our favourite places. A shame can no longer get into the castle x

I was a bit sad when you couldn't get into the castle because I love castles! I wondered how it looked like inside. I will keep your tip in mind should I get to visit one. I hope to come back to Europe one day and take the chance to visit castles in Scotland ❤
Yes we were sad we couldn’t either, but thankful we have been many times in the past and been inside. As it was so cool to look out of the windows and see what they would have seen from the castle. It’s such an amazing place. Hope you do make it over to Scotland one day as you’d love it x
We drove up your way last week, dropping family off at Gills Bay. I always look for the bens coming into Lybster, means I’m heading home x
@@highlandjournalart654 awww cool. Yes I bet seeing the Bens is a lovely feeling. We did an over night bothy trip near one of the Bens a while back. Such a stunning area 😍

Hi Faye. Honestly, I love your life so much! I know I keep saying it haha. Being around water definitely helps me. It's just so calming. Such a shame that you couldn't get in the castle. Haha I had to chuckle when you couldn't remember the name. I'm like that all of the time, brain just goes completely blank! Such a beautiful, wholesome vlog 🥰🥰
Water is definitely healing I find! It was such a shame, but luckily we have been a few times in the past when you could. So that’s okay.
When Iam tired I can’t even remember my own name sometimes 🤣🤦♀️ I really struggled to remember how to say it in the video 🤦♀️ glad it’s not just me that does this though 🤣
Thank you for watching, I appreciate your kind words x

The flies are relentless aren’t they? The midges are just as bad! The bugs here are insane. But so are the views and the landscape 😍 I bet you have some amazing memories of that time.
@@thehighlandlife2023 yes, fantastic! Another trip I had was on Isle of Mull in June. Beautiful, quiet, peaceful spot where it stayed light past 11:30pm and then getting light again before 3am. Lovely memories camping out with my dog 🐕 😃
@@juliegreenslade2878Sounds lovely!! Haven’t done Mull yet but is on our list.
Yes in height of summer is barely gets dark all night it’s pretty amazing tbh!
