Absolutely beautiful, I am 85 years and still get emotional when I visit or see video's like this. I live in middle England and have visited more than 50 times, walking, cycling, train and car and find no other place like it. This presentation is a pleasure to view. thank you.😀😀😀😀
This is easily one of the very best travel vlogs I've seen on RUclips, with a great balance of wonderful images and your own personal reflections. So a big 'thank you' for sharing your journey through the Highlands and I look forward to your next episode. Well done and 'Cheers!' from a new subscriber to your channel.
Thank you so much Gig, that is very kind of you! I have published all videos from Scotland and can be watched here: ruclips.net/p/PLonhezuZQT1YnnhCU2_aRm0IaXlnuvSFS Thank you so much for your kind support!
Must have watched dozens of video's on RUclips about the Scottish highlands and, although they have all been good and presented brilliantly, they haven't quite hit the mark in being entertaining to watch while maintaining the atmosphere of the land and being informative all at the same time. This is Syifa all those things and more - liked. subbed and I'll be back later to watch some more.
Nigel, your comment is probably the best compliment I can get for my video. What a brilliant and motivating thing to say to a travel video creator like me. Thank you, thank you!!
This is a very beautiful film, thank you. Something that many visitors to the Highlands should be aware of is that the landscape is often not what it seems. Many of the woodland areas you encounter are not 'natural' but are in fact comprised of non-native tree species - planted and managed by farmers/foresters. This form of agriculture has had an enormous impact on the social economics, landscape and wildlife of Scotland, and is both politically and environmentally contentious. While there are many areas of genuine wilderness in the Highlands, some of what is marketed as 'wilderness' was once quite densely populated but political and economic events from the mid-18th century ("Highland Clearances") onwards saw most of the rural population driven from the land by wealthy landlords who turned the land over to sheep grazing, and later forestry and game hunting - this is why you encounter so many ruined and abandoned stone structures throughout the landscape.
What a load of absolute rubbish. Most of the highlands are natural. Every country uses its lands for economic wealth. Yes there were the highland clearances, but those stone houses, like caves, are no longer acceptable as homes. Visitors to any country will be amazed at its history. Many of the forestry roads opened up an otherwise inaccessible beauty.
Hmmm Keith ... half-true I’d say! ‘A very beautiful film” is certainly true and a VERY nice and well-made one too. And yes, exactly as you say, “the landscape is often not what it seems”. But then I’d say you gallop ahead rather too fast, Keith! Until 250-or-so years ago much of the film’s landscape would have been covered by the ancient Caledonian Forest (so pine, sessile-oak, small-leafed lime, alder, birch and rowan). But the Forest has, sadly, “failed”, partly due to (man’s) elimination of the wolf in Scotland which, their natural predator gone, lead to the exponential rise in red-deer numbers. And partly due to (man’s) introduction of sheep to feed the Industrial Revolution’s woolen-mills. Between them the deer and the sheep have browsed the old forest VERY nearly to extinction, the growing young trees eaten down to the ground. You can see this very clearly in the film, “native” trees growing only where they are protected from browsing, on the little islands. Much of what Forest was still left was felled for timber in the Napoleonic and two World Wars and yes, landowners cleared more, first to create shooting playgrounds and, later, non-native supposedly-commercial forests - also of course primarily, and on a HUGE scale, by the Scottish Forestry Commission (still managing over 1m. acres) whose initial task was to ensure Britain had enough timber to fight future wars. And the film also helps clarify the (dreadful) Highland Clearances: but “most of the rural population driven from the land ... “ is (surely) not quite how the Clearances happened. Imagine what it must have been like trying to feed your family off the film’s “beautiful” landscape - imagine it in January, February, March, you in that landscape with your spade and pick-axe trying, often desperately, to feed your family. Suddenly, 300 years ago, there began to be HOPE ... began to be a WAY OUT. It suddenly became possible to ESCAPE it, to emigrate: to America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand - even to Tierra de Fuego. Or to the burgeoning satanic mills of the Industrial Revolution. But YES, to GET OUT ... to ESCAPE. Which is what those “most” did, escaping poverty and sometimes starvation, certainly malnutrition, leaving behind those ‘ruined and abandoned stone structures throughout the landscape”. It is of course absolutely true that some notorious landowners drove-out the ones - sometimes the nasty landowners said “the stragglers” - who hadn’t chosen or hadn’t been able to “escape” - most often the wretched old people. But to what extent is it true that a "happy" and viable community and way-of-life was destroyed? As a further thought, it’s worth keeping in mind how “new” the film’s whole scene is. Only 11-12,000 years ago, in the last Ice Age, the WHOLE THING would have been entirely covered by ice. I don’t have my ice-map with me but I imagine it would have been something like a mile thick, covering EVERYTHING, with not a single living thing below it, not a blade of grass, not an insect. In my childhood glen, 30 crow-fly miles due East of Corrour, the ice would have been well over a mile thick: I’ll check its thickness at Corrour. And Syifa’s beautiful film shows her in that ice-carved landscape walking (unknowingly!) past spectacular ice-cut rocks. PS Re “abandoning the landscape”, even in the 1960s most, yes MOST, able-bodied youngsters got out - the £10 passage to Australia etc. You were almost expected to. At 18, I went to Canada but (of course) love 'ma hame' still.
I very much corroborate the replies here; the Highlands are still ruled by the Lairds in an almost feudal economy. Re-wild the lot and get rid of all the absentee landlords, hunters, stalkers, shooters, ghillies, fishermen, sheep shaggers and the rest.
Nice to see you again, Syifa. I appreciate this brilliant vlog. We're now being introduced to the most beautiful, calm and serene places of Scotland. Wish you a joyful journey ahead!
This is on my bucket list of places to visit and to do. You brought it closer still. Loved your pronunciation of the Scottish words! And your eloquent speech.
The kind of effort you taken for such beautiful visuals, it cannot be appreciated with some words... Give us more such gifts... Its giving an inner energy... Thank u dear😍😍😍👌👌👌
@@SyifaAdriana Yeah can understand that, how was your experience with the famous Highland midgies? They can be absolutely relentless! I do a lot of wild camping, born and raised in Scotland and I've still never been able to take them on 😂😂
@@TeamLNE Hahahaha thanks for your comment! Always enjoyed reading people's different experience. I went in end of April to the beginning of May so it was in Spring. I know that midges can be unbearable in Scotland during the summer season. I am glad I wasn't there to experience it haha!
Thankyou for showing me some of the lands of my forebears. I had Scottish grandparents and my dad was Scottish born. Live in a mountain valley in Victoria, Australia, I love when the mist is hanging around the hills. Look forward to more of your travels.
@@SyifaAdriana I have been to Scotland a couple of times in the past few years but have not had the time to explore much of the country. I did plan to be in Aberdeen back in2021 to commemorate what would have been my dad's 100th birthday but covid put an end to that. Would like to visit again in the not too distant future.
@@brucelumsden94 I am sorry to hear that Bruce! Aberdeen , the granite city! I would suggest waiting out until the summer is over since flights in Europe are pretty bad right now with shortage of staff and delayed flights for hours.
I walked past the youth hostel in May on my way from Rannoch station to Fort William. It was a wet walk :) I had camped in the hills between Rannoch and Corrour. Carrying that suitcase even for the walk to the station must have been a pain. Easier with a rucksack. If you had gone North from the Youth hostel you get to another Loch - Loch Tréig. It has an abandoned lodge at the western end which is nice to sit at. Glad you like my homeland.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Ewen! 😊 So cool that you camped in the hills. How was the weather at the time? I had stopped carrying a rucksack since I am carry a backpack full of camera and filming equipment. That in itself is already very heavy so a rolling luggage comes in handy 😂
@@SyifaAdriana It was very wet. Had to wade a few burns the following day down to Glen Nevis. It was warm enough though. Day 2, I stayed at a bothy as it was very windy. Yeah, all the camera gear can weigh a bit.
@@BrokenBackMountains I am fascinated by bothys in Scotland and was very intrigued by it when researching my trip. I am glad that you were warm enough the next day! I feel like this type of travel makes you appreciate little things in life.
It’s been awhile since I last watched your channel so it was lovely to see you again presenting another part of the big wide world. It’s so lovely! I was in Scotland a few years ago and I just love the people and the weather with the overcast skies and the drizzly rain! I didn’t get to see the highlands but your video gave me a good sense of it, so it’s on my wishlist to visit when I can. Take care and thank you!
I have been binge-watching your UK playlist today, and it was this video that actually got me. Everything that I crave as a person was in this video. Since I also romanticize every situation in life, I could completely relate to you. Scotland is one of the most picturesque countries, your presentation made it more aesthetically pleasing. I hope to spend a day in that Highland's hostel and just be sad while sipping coffee and looking at the vast horizon of unknown in front of me...
Syifa, the unique style of presenting your travels always makes interesting viewing. For this location, the weather is a huge factor and the difference between it looking exceptionally beautiful and wonderful or truly awesormaly dismal and bleak, so, super contrasts
First time I've watchd one of your videos and thoroughly enjoyed it. I once lived on Skye and then made the foolish mistake of leaving - as you can probably guess, I miss it! The West Coast of Scotland is, truly, one of the most beautiful areas in the world whatever the weather!
The West of Scotland sure is beautiful, I live in Ayrshire and even though I love to escape to the highlands every year ,there is no shortage of amazing scenery (ie looking at Arran on a clear day etc)and great walking trails ,parks and castles here,....Scotland really does have it all.
You were there roughly about the same time as my wife and myself, we set off from Glasgow up the A82 past Loch Lomond intending to go to fort William, halfway there the heavens opened and as we,d been up that way before decided to turn inland at crianlarich, still beautiful but to me the western highlands are awesome and I live in Ireland a very beautiful country as well so if I’m impressed it’s stunning
I grew up in rural Scotland and my parents now live in a small coastal town in the south Highlands. Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your travels and promoting it to people to appreciate the wilderness and nature of the Scottish Highlands. 🏴
Really enjoyed that watch, thank you and glad you enjoyed it. No such thing as bad weather just wrong clothing ..lol. I think it being out with so much remoteness gives time to think and you realise how lucky you/we are in this life/world and what we have on our own doorstep. Fully agree with your thoughts and insight at the end we spend so much time rushing about in life, that we fail to be patient and stop and look around us and enjoy the moment of being in the present.
Nice to see you travelling the Scottish Highlands braving the weather.Had been Scotland for 6 months, but never heard of Corrour (almost unspoilt nature). You are planning to leave Isle of Skye (the most beautiful isle in the UK) without seeing it properly !
I enjoyed watching your video while working in the office. Sach beautiful places which is so quiet and isolated. Really this is fascinated as well as enjoyable. Keep it up dear Syifa.
As a Scot you should have went to Fort William and visited highest Mountain in UK being Ben Nevis . But hey well done sais much for you on your own traveling to another country and seeing parts of which shall stay in the memory . Ive done likewise in other countries . Awe the best tae ye .
I was there last month (June) ,we travel from Newcastle to Edinburg to Aberdeen, Inverness and up to the north Dornoch,to oarkney islands ,then back to the south to fort William passing loch Ness,loch Lomond then to Glasgow and back to Newcastle. ...back home to the Netherlands ...it was a beautiful 10 days travel to the highlands of Scotland 😍
WOW CRISTINA S THATS ALOT OF GROUND TO COVER IN SUCH A SHORT TIME!!!. AT LEAST YOU HAD TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH WEATHER,, WALL TO WALL SUNSHINE🏴🏴🏴🏴
@@neilanderson841 yes when we're in oarkney islands the locals said we had an exceptional nice weather that day☺️,and yes we we're traveling with a coach ( touring bus) ,.(traveled more than 2000 kilometers) within 10 days☺️
@@cristinas6575 Ahhh that explains a lot, I understand the appeal of a coach tour but for me the freedom to go where I want, rather than a itinerary, allows me to explore BONNIE SCOTLAND away from the touristy 'must see' places. But enjoyment is the key wherever you go. Haste ye back.
Your video is always so mesmerising and inspirational Syifa. I love how you put so much thoughts, time and efforts into your vlogs to tell the stories and your adventures. I was just transported to the Scottish highlands and the crisp air over there with you even though I have never been there. Thank you Syifa and look forward to your next video 🥰❤️
Really enjoyed watching you travel the places I used to. Many times Corrour station was the starting point for hikes into Staoineag bothy at the back end of Glen Nevis, or along Loch Ossian and on to Ben Alder Cottage the bothy beside Loch Ericht. Last time I spent a night in Loch Ossian Youth Hostel the warden was a guy from down South who's previous job had been as a croupier in a London casino...not much different lol. I think you managed to sum up brilliantly the feelings the combination of weather and scenery can evoke. There is a lot of precipitation in the West Highlands for sure, the upside is, when the sun shines the place sparkles like a jewel....magical.
Absolutely wonderful, amazing pictures that show the beauty of these places. nature is beautiful. I love nature like you, in the silence of nature You can gather your thoughts and always find peace. Thank you very much Syifa for all your effort and hard work to give us quality content and bring the world closer to us.
Thanks Syifa for sharing your adventures as you travel through the Scottish Highlands and Islands. So beautiful, peaceful and great to see you champion public transport showing everyone it can be done 👍. And you’ve earned extra bonus points from all us Scots for pronouncing “Loch” correctly 😊
I enjoyed that immensely, you may have covered it in another video, but the smell of the yellow plant (gorse) on a warm spring day is unforgettable. You see it from the train and the bus in this episode.
Syifa, first time I, ve been watching you in my homeland Serbia, at Monastery Naupare, then with your boyfriend in England , and now in Scotland , and from today I am your subscriber.... Sending you hug, and many greetings from Mica 🐕🐾🌻
Your videos are what I'm always looking for! Really love your skill of story telling and the way you choose every place is out of the ordinary, and of course really love the cinematic as well!
I've been travelling the byways of Scotland in my Motorhome now for nearly three years and visited most of the areas you've traveled. I know you weren't thumbing lifts but you could have hitched a ride with me anytime. 🥰 Bon voyage.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I actually have been wanting to hitchhike but never got the courage 😂😂 Thank you for your lovely time to watch my video.
We are living history now. The land is as natural as it gets, at this moment in time. Yes the highlands in places had larger populations and we should never forget, but this is a video of someone enjoying her trip around my country scotland and allowing others to enjoy it as it is now. It is beautiful
Great video mba syifa.Tks for sharing your beautiful journey. The vibes is amazing, cinematrography, music, view it's perfect. Enjoy your trip mba. Have a good day
My family is from JA, i ve been there looking for that but unfortunately I could not. Still, JA is still the hermosa land of wood and water but without the solitude!
Selamat pagi dri Sabah, Malaysia Syifa. WOW is what I wanted to say. I've seen beautiful scenery of your journey to the highland of Scotland. You always amaze me of your courage traveling alone. Please stay safe and good health. God Bless
After watching your video I thought I have to go to Corrour, so I went there last week. It was the highlight of my adventure. I will never forget the beauty and calmness of this amazing place. thank you.
@@SyifaAdriana unfortunately I was only there for a short time. I walked down from the station (after having a coffee & cheeky cake) to Loch Ossian and just sat down at the picnic bench for a few hours to take it all in. The weather was perfect, everything was perfect. It's a great place to clear your mind. I will definitely be back and will stay for few days.
@@sniffer321 Sounds so lovely! I also enjoyed the cake from the station house. I am so chuffed reading your comment, John! Thanks again for letting me know.
What a lovely, pretty, cheerful and enthusiastic person you are! Really enjoyed your report and however you travelled.... you enjoyed fantastic views. I have a funny feeling that all that accommodation is quite expensive, so sadly beyond my pocket.
Thank you so much Lenny! That' very kind of you to comment and watch this video. I stayed in different hostels on my travel in Scotland. It generally cost me £18-£25/night for a single bunkbed. I dont know what's your budget but Scotland has a great variety of hostels and can be found on this website www.hostellingscotland.org.uk/
Beautiful calm area sometimes like a painting. Rally like world end in Nuwaraeliya Srilanka my country I think once you been here. Such a beautiful video thanks.
wow, how beautiful landscape of SCOTTLAND, and how you travelled in barren area in harsh weather , No doubt you are brace and courageous girl and thanks for this beautiful video , LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
Im glad you found our country side relaxing . Many people never experience true calm and uninterrupted natural beauty and silence . ( dont tell every one though 😀)
Muy bonito para visitarlo unos días o semanas (yo he estado allí varios meses) pero… desaconsejable para vivir, a no ser que a uno le gusten multitud de días d lluvia al año y cielos grisáceos, con poca luz natural. A España vienen muchos escoceses (y en general, mucha gente del Reino Unido) y, quienes pueden permitírselo, compran aquí (en España) un apartamento u otra propiedad. De hecho, hay muchos jubilados ingleses que viven en España todo el año.

You were there roughly about the same time as my wife and myself, we set off from Glasgow up the A82 past Loch Lomond intending to go to fort William, halfway there the heavens opened and as we,d been up that way before decided to turn inland at crianlarich, still beautiful but to me the western highlands are awesome and I live in Ireland a very beautiful country as well so if I’m impressed it’s stunning
How cool John! Thank you so much for your kind comment. I needed a visa to enter Ireland, so hopefully I'll be able to visit soon :)
I grew up in rural Scotland and my parents now live in a small coastal town in the south Highlands. Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your travels and promoting it to people to appreciate the wilderness and nature of the Scottish Highlands. 🏴
Really enjoyed that watch, thank you and glad you enjoyed it. No such thing as bad weather just wrong clothing ..lol. I think it being out with so much remoteness gives time to think and you realise how lucky you/we are in this life/world and what we have on our own doorstep. Fully agree with your thoughts and insight at the end we spend so much time rushing about in life, that we fail to be patient and stop and look around us and enjoy the moment of being in the present.
Alex, you get it 100%. So glad reading your comment confirming how we often fail to stop, enjoy the moment and be present. Thanks for watching!
Nice to see you travelling the Scottish Highlands braving the weather.Had been Scotland for 6 months, but never heard of Corrour (almost unspoilt nature). You are planning to leave Isle of Skye (the most beautiful isle in the UK) without seeing it properly !
Beautifull scenery and serene nature
You are right. When you live in remote and isolatted place, you tend getting closer to people who you meet.
Thank you so much Riski!
I love your introspection and eloquence. A really nicely produced and thoughtful video.
I enjoyed watching your video while working in the office. Sach beautiful places which is so quiet and isolated. Really this is fascinated as well as enjoyable. Keep it up dear Syifa.
You exhibit beauty in many forms your mind soul and your environment and also your heart . Thank you so much
What a pity it rained on you. Scotland in the sun is glorious. Come back again. 😊
I live on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
I can relate to the importance of disconnecting from urban environments :)
You made a damp West Highland visit come to shine with your charm & eloquence .
Thank you James, that's very kind of you to say this!
Breathtaking. Good you got to see the wilderness in it’s many moods. Very insightful well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much Jonathan!
As a Scot you should have went to Fort William and visited highest Mountain in UK being Ben Nevis . But hey well done sais much for you on your own traveling to another country and seeing parts of which shall stay in the memory .
Ive done likewise in other countries . Awe the best tae ye .
I was there last month (June) ,we travel from Newcastle to Edinburg to Aberdeen, Inverness and up to the north Dornoch,to oarkney islands ,then back to the south to fort William passing loch Ness,loch Lomond then to Glasgow and back to Newcastle. ...back home to the Netherlands ...it was a beautiful 10 days travel to the highlands of Scotland 😍
Sounds wonderful Cristina! I am sure you had a great fun :D
@@SyifaAdriana yes and also a beautiful weather
WOW CRISTINA S THATS ALOT OF GROUND TO COVER IN SUCH A SHORT TIME!!!. AT LEAST YOU HAD TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH WEATHER,, WALL TO WALL SUNSHINE🏴🏴🏴🏴
@@neilanderson841 yes when we're in oarkney islands the locals said we had an exceptional nice weather that day☺️,and yes we we're traveling with a coach ( touring bus) ,.(traveled more than 2000 kilometers) within 10 days☺️
@@cristinas6575 Ahhh that explains a lot, I understand the appeal of a coach tour but for me the freedom to go where I want, rather than a itinerary, allows me to explore BONNIE SCOTLAND away from the touristy 'must see' places. But enjoyment is the key wherever you go. Haste ye back.
Great video, beautiful scenery.
Thank you so much Luc!! :)
So vast and beautiful. 😊 Love peaceful places like this. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Matt and Rachel! All the best and good luck with your travel channel 😊
Your video is always so mesmerising and inspirational Syifa. I love how you put so much thoughts, time and efforts into your vlogs to tell the stories and your adventures. I was just transported to the Scottish highlands and the crisp air over there with you even though I have never been there. Thank you Syifa and look forward to your next video 🥰❤️
Thank you so much, Joanna for your lovely comment and kind appreciation!
Great presentation. Seems I missed you at Loch Ossian YH by only a few days! Greetings from your opposite - a Brit who moved to Indonesia😅
Meaningful, useful, and interesting. Outstanding, and keep up the good work! Thank you Syifa 🙂
Thank you so much Nigel! That’s very kind of you. The rest of this travel series can be watched here: ruclips.net/p/PLonhezuZQT1YnnhCU2_aRm0IaXlnuvSFS
Really enjoyed watching you travel the places I used to. Many times Corrour station was the starting point for hikes into Staoineag bothy at the back end of Glen Nevis, or along Loch Ossian and on to Ben Alder Cottage the bothy beside Loch Ericht. Last time I spent a night in Loch Ossian Youth Hostel the warden was a guy from down South who's previous job had been as a croupier in a London casino...not much different lol. I think you managed to sum up brilliantly the feelings the combination of weather and scenery can evoke. There is a lot of precipitation in the West Highlands for sure, the upside is, when the sun shines the place sparkles like a jewel....magical.
Your presence makes this place more beautiful, I swears.
Absolutely wonderful, amazing pictures that show the beauty of these places. nature is beautiful. I love nature like you, in the silence of nature You can gather your thoughts and always find peace. Thank you very much Syifa for all your effort and hard work to give us quality content and bring the world closer to us.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind support, Marin! 😊
Thanks Syifa for sharing your adventures as you travel through the Scottish Highlands and Islands. So beautiful, peaceful and great to see you champion public transport showing everyone it can be done 👍. And you’ve earned extra bonus points from all us Scots for pronouncing “Loch” correctly 😊
Ah David! Your comment is soooo lovely. Thanks a lot!! Yes I love pronouncing loch with my imitated Scottish accent 🤣
You just said that because she’s a beauty
@@pauls3204 Aye, that "Loch" is a real beauty and Syifa is no bad tae !
🤩
I enjoyed that immensely, you may have covered it in another video, but the smell of the yellow plant (gorse) on a warm spring day is unforgettable. You see it from the train and the bus in this episode.
Thank you so much Bob!
Amazing! I love the open vast wilderness of Scotland. Nice drone footage :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for watching
Beautifully described. It's not just you - the rain makes these isles. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful reactions :-)
Really enjoying this series doing Scotland on public transport. Some beautiful photography here Syifa. 👍👍🙏😊😊
Thank you so much Peter 😊
Syifa, first time I, ve been watching you in my homeland Serbia, at Monastery Naupare, then with your boyfriend in England , and now in Scotland , and from today I am your subscriber.... Sending you hug, and many greetings from Mica 🐕🐾🌻
Thank you so much Mica for your support!
Your videos are what I'm always looking for! Really love your skill of story telling and the way you choose every place is out of the ordinary, and of course really love the cinematic as well!
Thank you so much Dinda, what a kind comment!
The way you are telling the story' of your journey is good, attracting the viewers to visit😁😁😁
I've been travelling the byways of Scotland in my Motorhome now for nearly three years and visited most of the areas you've traveled. I know you weren't thumbing lifts but you could have hitched a ride with me anytime. 🥰 Bon voyage.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I actually have been wanting to hitchhike but never got the courage 😂😂 Thank you for your lovely time to watch my video.
We are living history now. The land is as natural as it gets, at this moment in time. Yes the highlands in places had larger populations and we should never forget, but this is a video of someone enjoying her trip around my country scotland and allowing others to enjoy it as it is now. It is beautiful
Great video mba syifa.Tks for sharing your beautiful journey. The vibes is amazing, cinematrography, music, view it's perfect. Enjoy your trip mba. Have a good day
I really enjoy watching your vlogs beautifull nature hilly side of Scotland and showing many nature places of remote town of Scotland 🏴
Thank you so much Jawan!
After Long time Adriana Thank you for new experience recorded I from Sri Lanka love you
Excellent filming, excellent drone work Syifa ❤ Love the Scottish nature 💕
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind support, Habibul! 😊
The most peaceful travel channel in this chaotic youtube!
Thanks Syifa, for sharing with me, my old country. x
I was born and bred in the Highlands will never leave here as its beautiful
Wee bit of trivia…the “it’s shite being Scottish” scene in the movie ‘Trainspotting’ was filmed here 👍
Such a beautifully filmed video and your narrative made it very interesting and thought provoking.
Thank you very much 👍
Thanks a lot, Tony! That’s very kind :)
Beautiful ♥️ and desolate 👍😊 Highlands 🦋 watching fr jamaica 🇯🇲🏖️😎🌞
My family is from JA, i ve been there looking for that but unfortunately I could not. Still, JA is still the hermosa land of wood and water but without the solitude!
There is a comfort to be had from being out in inclement weather as long as what you wear is capable of dealing with it
I agree with you, Kevin! Thanks for watching!
I love your videos! Go girl, you have a strong spirit!🏴
Wow, thank you so much for your kind comment!
It's such an awesome journey which the natures show its own beauty.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind support, Leiz! 😊
You're welcome😇
Just like a vlog, your beauty radiates to the morning sun.
💙 All Love ve from UAE
Nice to see u after very a long time
Great film syifa really enjoyed . Will be watching more . Thanks for sharing
Syifa, you pronounced "Loch" perfectly, you are now a true and great Scot. The passport is yours' to enjoy. Your welcome.❤
Syriana, you have an amazing grasp of the English language. Very impressive, like all of your content.
Hahaha thanks a lot Corinne!
although a wilderness , the area you were in was once well populated and an area where the land and cattle was fought over by many rival clans .
Selamat pagi dri Sabah, Malaysia Syifa. WOW is what I wanted to say. I've seen beautiful scenery of your journey to the highland of Scotland. You always amaze me of your courage traveling alone. Please stay safe and good health. God Bless
After watching your video I thought I have to go to Corrour, so I went there last week. It was the highlight of my adventure. I will never forget the beauty and calmness of this amazing place. thank you.
Oh John, that's fantastic! Did you stay at the hostel or did you walk to Rannoch?
@@SyifaAdriana unfortunately I was only there for a short time. I walked down from the station (after having a coffee & cheeky cake) to Loch Ossian and just sat down at the picnic bench for a few hours to take it all in. The weather was perfect, everything was perfect. It's a great place to clear your mind. I will definitely be back and will stay for few days.
@@sniffer321 Sounds so lovely! I also enjoyed the cake from the station house. I am so chuffed reading your comment, John! Thanks again for letting me know.
@@SyifaAdriana keep up the great work, thanks again
Hello Syifa😊 it is nice sometimes to be alone to enjoy the serenity of earth. Very good way of enjoying life. Thank you for the vlog♥️🇲🇾
Thank you, Habibah!
Well done young lady, well done.
Thanks Syifa for the video! I really enjoyed it

Scotland is so beautiful! Looking forward to see more of your videos from there!
Thank you so much! :-)
It is Such a beautiful video with wonderful nature …thanks for showing us ..
Love your blog very much n thanks for your new video very much
What a lovely, pretty, cheerful and enthusiastic person you are!
Really enjoyed your report and however you travelled.... you enjoyed fantastic views.
I have a funny feeling that all that accommodation is quite expensive,
so sadly beyond my pocket.
Thank you so much Lenny! That' very kind of you to comment and watch this video. I stayed in different hostels on my travel in Scotland. It generally cost me £18-£25/night for a single bunkbed. I dont know what's your budget but Scotland has a great variety of hostels and can be found on this website www.hostellingscotland.org.uk/
Beautiful calm area sometimes like a painting. Rally like world end in Nuwaraeliya Srilanka my country I think once you been here. Such a beautiful video thanks.
Thank you so much Nalaka for your kind comment 😀
wow, how beautiful landscape of SCOTTLAND, and how you travelled in barren area in harsh weather , No doubt you are brace and courageous girl and thanks for this beautiful video , LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
Nice episode, Good experience
Im glad you found our country side relaxing . Many people never experience true calm and uninterrupted natural beauty and silence . ( dont tell every one though 😀)
I'm waiting for your video finally today 🤠
Amazing such beautiful thanks you for information
i was waiting your vlogs!
SYIFA!
ALWZ
LOTS OF LOVE FROM NEPAL🇳🇵
Corrour is not that remove. It’s a relatively short drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh. I take the kids to Loch Ossian at the weekends. But nice video
Beautiful view of the mountain and lake. Awesome travel video.
It's a loch not a lake🤷.
Muy bonito para visitarlo unos días o semanas (yo he estado allí varios meses) pero… desaconsejable para vivir, a no ser que a uno le gusten multitud de días d lluvia al año y cielos grisáceos, con poca luz natural.
A España vienen muchos escoceses (y en general, mucha gente del Reino Unido) y, quienes pueden permitírselo, compran aquí (en España) un apartamento u otra propiedad. De hecho, hay muchos jubilados ingleses que viven en España todo el año.
Wow beautiful nature, padang rumput yang luas jauh dari pemukiman hemmmm kalau ujan gak bisa berteduh gak ada pohon 😁😁😁😁
Sungguh menakjubkan permandangan di sana. Semoga syifa terus sukses. Terima kasih atas pengalaman yang sangat menarik.
Terima kasih banyak 😊
Thanks a lot Syifa for video, greetings from Holland
Greetings Robert!
Great video...lovely place...
I miss you a lot and totally your vlog is insane I have been loving since last 3years ago?!
We saw beautiful things in this video, may God bless you
