  • One day (6hrs) was not enough to see the island properly. Maybe without doing the walking tour it would have been more manageable. I'd go back for 2 days minimum. Such an inspirational island, others could learn from them for the benefit of their communities.
    For my 13th video upload I decided not to add music. I'd like to know what you think about this choice. Thanks, Ix

    Hi, lovely video and beautiful weather! I like the fact that you include wildlife spotting and Nature, as that is my passion! Which island would you most recommend for peace and bird watching that is easy-ish to stay on self catering do you think? (No worries if this is not an easy call 🙂- thanks, Hilary

      Hi Hilary, I love all the wildlife around the islands although Im not very good at identifying a lot of it. I would say Canna is the best of them all for what you're looking for. Did you see my Canna day trip, have look at it and you'll see what I mean. Thanks for saying hello! Ix

      @@IonaMacinnes Hi, yes we did see your Canna video, looks incredible. We live in Dorset so not sure when we could possibly make the trip as involves flying up to Glasgow probably (we do not like long road journeys!). Keen to visit Mull first as so much wildlife there. But the smaller isles just really appeal for their peace and spirituality 🙂

    Iona that was SOOO good. It wasn't till I read your description I realised there was no music! I liked it better deffo. I mean music is great for a car ride or ruined soundtrack by wind or noisy humans lol but that was just fantastic with all the sounds you heard. Does this mean your wind muffler arrived? You're fantastic honestly & I love that you reply to us cos other youtubers that have over 100,000 subs just can't reply cos they get hundreds of comments. I'm going to enjoy that we can interact with you while we can!! Can't wait for your next one 😍

I will always reply to messages and esp you guys who are so encouraging when I only have 250 subs, but it's growing so that's nice.
