- 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

Born in Eigg , raised on Rum , buried in Muck but I Canna believe it 😁
Or as my Grandfather used to say .... Ye Canna Coll Rum Muck !
🤣🤣🤣👍 that’s good craic isn’t it. Thanks for sharing, I like your Grandfather’s humour. Ix
@IonaMacinnes he worked on the Small Isles ferry service 60s/70s. The first saying is in a book by Otta Swire I think .
Thanks for another video....great to see how the island inhabitants have managed to power the island and empower themselves.
that's right, such a great community. Where are you from? meant to ask after you commented on the accent ha. Ix
@@IonaMacinnes Hi, I live on the east coast of Australia Iona, at Port Stephens, New South Wales.
So I love watching your videos of a places I've never been and may never get to.
@@markstothard630 Really, awe how amazing is that, you get to cycle round The Isle of Egg from Australia, haha, how technology really has changed everything, its fantastic. Love your messages. I've never been to Australia but I'd like to go next year perhaps. I'll need to look up that area see what it's like where you live, similarities etc. Certainly not the weather😀 Ix
@@IonaMacinnes Cheers, I hope you get to Australia, I'm sure you'd enjoy it, but it's a huge place, something which catches many northern travelers by surprise....must check the map legend at the bottom....😁
Brilliant video Iona. 👍👍That view of Rum was stunning.
@daviemcf They weren't wrong when they said you must see it. It's such a cool Island! Ix
@@IonaMacinnes I thought the view from Muck when I was there of Rum, Skye and Eigg was panoramic!
Oh aye, it is for sure. Ix
@@daviemcf yes I remember that view well, it was special for sure. Rum is nicer from a distance, the clifs are unreal and also the view from Canna is superb too. For Compas Hill (but not in the mist and hailstones). Ix
Wonderful video !!! So great to see you again
Hi Bruce, Glad it gave some entertainment and insight in to the amazing work the people are doing there. And great to see you came back for more small isles chat. Muck coming soon!. Ix
I'm from Edinburgh and it;s really cool to see your videos from the islands of Scotland. Looking forward to the next one!
@liam5382 thanks for messaging to let me know. I lived in Edinburgh for 4 years, back in 1996, loved it. Yes, plenty islands to come!! 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 😍
Good evening, oh that is great, yes it arrived so it makes such a difference, good you noticed ha. I was up in North Uist doing the Uist Sculpture Trail as I'd never got round to it and it arrived when I got home so that video will feature me testing it, but what a difference it makes for sure! 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. I'm supporting England tonight so I hope they win! of course you and I are listening on the radio haha. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for taking your time to message me...see, it works both ways. Ix
@@IonaMacinnes awwwe. No I'm not even listening! My girl went racing back to London as they were all off to a pub, about 30 of them, to watch!! I'm doing other stuff online ☺ selling stuff!
@@vivellasmum ah there will be a few sore heads in London/England tonight. Good luck with the sales! Ix
@@IonaMacinnes 🥳😣🤣 and thank you!
Great vlog btw , really enjoyed it 😊.......what island where you on 😂😂😂
🤣🤣 that's so funny, exactly!! haha what a laugh. Glad you came back and enjoyed. Ix
@@IonaMacinnes and I pay attention 🤣🤣
you do indeed! Ix
Love yer videos Iona, but If I can make one request... Can I get more funnies? Yer just far too professional 😂
@StrudlePie haha now you're being hilarious, professional! Aye right, but I'll take it. Have you been to any of the small isles? I canny mind which one I'm on half the time. Good you like the videos and nice of you to message, I'll mind your request for future😀. Ix
Love you Iona
At 5:27 I can't decide which is cuter?? Emm probably the girl filming although the Otter comes close.
