    Fantastic. Ridden the west coast many many times and this brings back fond memories. Been about 5 years since I took the time off work to go here and this series has inspired me to go back asap. Thanks! Inspiring stuff.

    I filled up my camper at the same petrol station you did, near the Skye Bridge, but going in the opposite direction to you. I thought fuel on the Island would be much more expensive but it was the other way round and a miserbale women serving too. We went to the very top of Skye and on the way back climbed up to the Old Man of Storr, it was very wet and windy up there too, and in the clouds.

    Excellent video matey. I was up there on the bike, at roughly the same time as yourself. It was very busy with motorhomes, and white vans. I opted to wild camp, on a very secluded beach, on south west coast, at a place called Tokavaig. Stunning. Really need to get back up soon.
    The Eillan Donan castle, was used in the great movie, Highlander, with Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert. It truly is a stunning castle, amazing location, and my favourite castle by far.
    Thanks again for yet another cracking video. I’m off to watch episode 6 now.

    I’ll chime in with the others and say the drone footage really kicks your videos up a notch. Just superb. I’ve been to Eilean Donan castle and it is the most photographed castle in Scotland I learned. I also have family in Banchory and Aberdeen Scotland which I visit often. A small world indeed. This video series has been amazing!

    Me and my husband always enjoy your touring videos especially in Scotland, we love it there but we've only gone as far as Fort Augustus so definitely want to do Skye and further north.Love the drone footage and a bit of music for a change. We stay in bnbs when we tour and it's so important that the hosts are friendly, none of your viewers will be going there now so that's their loss! Can't wait for next Scotland tour and Norway 😀

    Loving the drone shots TMF, look forward to you getting some shots of it following you on the bike. Eilean Donan castle is stunning (BBC used it for an ad and I think it has been in a bond movie too) it was around 30 degs when I visited just over a week ago. The road from there to Loch Ness is brilliant fun and lots of cracking views.

    He He I remember when there was no bridge and the only way across to Skye was by a small RoRo ferry from Lochalsh across the bay. Much better now the bridge has been built. Next time your up try Uig and take the CalMac to the Outer Hebrides, some lovely scenery to be had in North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist.

    @mickeypopa 6 лет назад

    You were right about the Western Isles, episodes 4 and 5 especially. The place truly doesn't disappoint.
    However, North Coast 500 still got a slight edge over it for me, it's the rugged beauty and inhospitable expanses of that northern part of the country (and in that weather too) that really gives me goosebumps. I guess you and I are just wired differently. hehe :)
    Btw awesome drone shots of the Skye bridge and surroundings in the sunset, you outdid yourself on that one. 👍

    @glennturnbull8568 6 лет назад

    Just finished my own trip to Skye and onwards up to Gairloch via Applecross. What a fantastic trip! Worth the effort from here where I am near Portsmouth. Watching your latest instalment only makes me want to jump back on and go back for another go. Like you I found accommodation expensive, my B&B was also £125 per night, but great quality. But £125 per night!!! Supply and demand I guess. Stayed 2 nights, so was able to tour the whole island. And I was lucky enough to have the unheard of tropical weather, most of my rides felt like I was in the Swiss Alps, not the far north Scotland.

    @petermyles3669 6 лет назад

    First class again Mr F. The drone work is epic. I rode the same route back down Skye to the bridge but it was raining and the visibility was poor when I did it exactly two years ago. You were so lucky with the weather. You have made me clear my diary, going to head up there in a fortnight just hope the weather holds out. You missed out on a couple of spots or roads. Plockton which sounds like it should be in Yorkshire but if I remember correctly is not too far from the bridge on the mainland. And of course the road to Applecross. Always worth a detour.

    • @TheMissendenFlyer

    You have good eye Mr. F. Looks like you've been studying other people's drone footage to see what they get wrong.
    Eilean Donan castle is one of the most photographed spots in Scotland. I've not read all the comments here, so despite the fact that plenty of people have already told you, the castle was the home of Connor MacLeod in the original Highlander movie.

Once my "flexy friends" have returned to positive flows I intend on chucking a tent on the back of the bike & doing a tour of some of the more remote areas(saving cash by "wild camping") Having been "brought up" on camping(mainly Yugoslavia)holidays,& scouts/cubs etc I have no issue with tents(regardless of weather)In actual fact,I spent 3-4 months living in a tent during winter as I'd had a falling out with the family. Really enjoying this series BTW,giving me ideas on where I might be tempted to venture. RSMF
