I love when Katie tells the history of the Scottish isles, old buildings and then the baking and cooking
Sounds like Scotland is a wonderful place. You said you didn’t know what kind of wood the bookcase was so it could be toxic to humans. Thanks
How about FETA for the lamb's name, it's girly and cheesy at the same time.
Love the comment on how you heal yourselves with natural herbs, spices and plants. Everyone should do this.
Yes Katie. I remember paper dollies. Changing their dresses and even accessories like handbags and hats.
Every week a new dolly outfit in Judy the girls magazine
When I was cutting out the paper clothes (after I coloured them,) I always seemed to cut one of the tabs off. 😅
@@brendamiller5785 Me too. It put me off dressmaking for life.😮
I love history and really enjoy Katie’s history of Scotland..love to you both ❤️🤗
Sounded like Scott had some difficulty breathing walking up hill, for my breathing inflammation issues. I use a homemade remedy. One cup organic honey, to it mix in a heaping teaspoon of each of these three turmeric powder, ginger powder and Ceylon cinnamon. I keep in cupboard so it is always ready to use. I have it on toast n not in my tea as the honey loses some of its antibacterial properties in the heating process. It ferments within 24 hours. A refreshing drink for helping to open breathing is drinking organic pineapple juice for the bromelien in it. Hope Scott improves
🌸 sweethearts you both are.
Mineral oil may be a choice, I don't think it smells as bad as WD40.
Your privacy is important. We are grateful for the sharing of our stories.
Yes my lovely wife, Food Grade Mineral Oil,or Butcher Block Conditioner. WD40 is petroleum based,not good for the kitty, just saying!
Did anyone notice the duck head in the pond?
Yep, that decoy has sprung a leak!
Omg Katie ...Scott looks sooo sexy without his beanie no wonder you keep him hidden on a remote Scottish Island lol but seriously love your video's love Scott's dry wit and your reaction nonchalant is even funnier Grace from Belfast 😅😅
Listen,strange women lying in ponds distributin swords is no basis for a system of government!
😂
A herbal or floral name for the lamb would be cute and nice, such as Tansy, Daisy, Poppy, Marigold, Peony, Dahlia, Holly, Sage, Clemantine, Jasmine, Lily, Saffron, Snowball and the list goes on and on. :)
Saffron would be great! 😊
I think your illness came from the sanding because you had stored the bookcases in the byer which is damp, mould spores will have started to grow on the wood and when you started to sand the said bookcase these became airborne and you breathed them in. always always wear a mask when using a sander as it is not just mould you need to be careful of with old furniture the paint also could contain lead.
My adult son contracted Lyme disease when camping in Michigan, it started with an intense circular rash and he became very fatigue all the time. It took at least 6 months before he felt better but still has symptoms 20 years later if he becomes stressed. Take care of yourself.
The way you two lovelies interact with and care for your animals is the surest sign of being kindhearted good souls ❤ had such a chuckle at Jeeves’ cheekiness with Scott and Katie’s mirthful encouragement 😂❤
We are all our primary health care giver…I last saw a doc in 2014..retired RN too.! Supplements, good food choices and lifestyle.Muscle is after all working tissue. Sick folk need a medico, I ain’t sick.
The history segments are beautifully written and bring the people of long gone eras back to life... all new stories and images giving depth to our understanding of the land of our ancestors. Thank you~ ♥
When are you doing the Q &A episode please, really enjoying all episodes
Not 100% sure yet, we'll see what life brings! Kx
I admire the two of you so much. You work so hard every day, improving your home , caring for your environment, caring for each other as well as your animals. Then, you somehow find time to record and share your lives with us all whilst also giving us a real history of your surroundings. Many, many thanks xxx
Lyme is no joke, should get checked at least.
I got bitten when on holiday in Dunphail a couple of years ago.
Didn’t get the bullseye rash till weeks later but felt much like Scott on and off beforehand.
Hefty course of antibiotics seems to have sorted things.
Recommend you get checked Scott, because the sooner you take the antibiotics the better.
All the very best to you both. xx
Another wonderful episode!
An old-school technique for sealing slate or other porous stones is with boiled linseed oil. Thinning it with mineral spirits or lacquer thinner will help it soak in deeper, and once cured, maintained with pure carnauba wax.
Love your new gear and cant wait to see you use it, may I suggest that you get a lens filter for your expensive new lens, it is clear but protects the eye from all sorts of things that fly through the air. your videos are a nice escape for me with your calming voices and your lovely banter, I lost my husband on the 13th of this month, we would have the same kind of banter and I love you both as a distraction. Keep up the great videos. Love from Australia.
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a loss and a change. Take good care of yourself and make sure to have your loved ones around you, to remember good times together. Much love and God bless.. 🤍

When I was a child, transfers were called "dabbities" and were pretty boring designs that you licked to make damp and then pressed on your arms. Sevenety years before Barbie, the same concept of dolls was popular. Toys were not very current just after the war!
I had venison burgers for tea, dispatched locally. Very tasty & environmentally sound. Not sure I could do the dispatching though.
Love the content, surely the New lamb has to be Baby Bel x
Would you consider bringing your chain saw up to cut the fallen oak? To see if the well is beneath it?
The girl on a cold tin roof. I can picture the film...
I adore Katie's story/history telling with all the old pictures. It makes me wonder what my life would be like if my ancestors had never chosen to leave the UK. Makes me sad, but grateful for the history lesson. ❤🩹💔😥
I'm now further into the video, where are you are talking about King Arthur. My favorite book of all time is, "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It's a long book.. but SO good!
👑🪄⚔
May i say go get looked at i had it and a customer of mine had it and has very bad side effects including the brain please just be checked but it is your choice i also like natural over meds but be cautious❤🤗✝️🕊
Thank you for the extra long episode!! Jeeves is such a ham...love him! 😂
Deeeeeeeeee-lightful.....as usual!! Thank you both!!!
Birch, I built a cabinet out of birch and you could not move it. Very hard and lovely!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again……… you are so lucky to live with those beautiful surroundings
Again, another great episode. Loved the colour of the timber after the bookcase was sanded, looks gorgeous, Scott. Katie, you are so brave working on the roof. Lovely happy ending.
🙋♀️❤️ The Island gets greener and more beautiful each episode! So does the cottage!
I think the word for the things to shuffle around to see where each bookcase should come is "template".
I bet there is a rock or a tree stump under that platform.
I can believe vinegar would help for slugs, but only until the next rain 😂
I hope you get your camera soon. You should sell the photographs on line
Is the bookcase made from elm.
I must say that your lady gets stuck in to the jobs and explains things very well 😮
Yet again, another great episode 👍 Just wondering Katie, what do you do with the sheep's wool? I would love to see the process of carding, spinning etc
I do use it, yes. That's all coming up quite soon..! Kx
That was a really beautiful tribute to the history of the area in the middle of the video. Move over Lucy Worsley, Katie’s on the scene now.
Thank you so much!
Katie is much better. I find Lucy W. very annoying - Our Lady of the Kirby Grip…
Your videos are getting better and better. I cannot imagine it being even better with the new camera. I love Scott's sense of humor and Katie's comebacks, the wonderful music and I love watching the animals stealing the scene whenever they can. I am in Canada and was chuffed to hear Katie had lived in Alberta where I was born and raised! She was likely living there when I was living in Calgary! Keep up the good work!
I have a name Freya... the Lady of the Lake just in case she is still there lol. Loved the episode thank you x
I can't get over how old the history of your places are over there. NZ and anything from the 1800s is considered really old! Love hearing and seeing the history round your parts, just amazing.
Sounds like most parts of the US, but we are a disposable country. Most things are built like crap knowing in 50 years it will be torn down. Sad. That's probably why I love channels like this, that show a real history of its people and culture.
Blue after the cheese you could call her Blue bell.
Only watching this episode now so my comment might be out of date. You can get a blood test and antibiotics for Lyme disease but you shouldn’t ignore the possibility that it is.
That ol dust is fierce hard on the lung's, I be the same after angle grinding shite metal or rusty stuff, it'll pass but takes it outta yourem better off just putting the ol mask on. Don't forget the worm tablets for the animals keeps all healthy, or wormwood if ye want to be Herbal . Love the lifestyle ye 😁
I love your tree pics and panoramas of your home. I love our High Rockies too. Very different.
I appreciate the "vanity" comparison. I'm so sorry that we seem to have lost our ability to laugh at ourselves and get on with the important stuff.
I wonder if the illness might be related mold. You mentioned in the past that there is mold mold in your storage. I had the pleasure of cleaning up a shed that had a roof leak and therefore moldy inside. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but a bit later I was wiped out for several days, much like you describe. Glad you are feeling better!
My soul aches to live where you live.
❤ from South Africa 🇿🇦
When I watch your videos I want to be a naturalist and spend my days sketching all parts of your glorious ecosystem thx Katie for reading about the island and talk at the end of even more history. Thx Scott for the editing. Your episodes are a visual feast.
Well done Jeeves🤣I'm sure the bite was because of the comment made that Bree "is like a small horse!!" 😹Not only Jeeves, do you look exactly like my Ollie cat, but you also behave like him 😹😹Fabulous episode as always xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
Hello Katie and Scott, great video. Good job on mending the roof Katie. Also I liked hearing about the history of people in later days. Good sanding of the book case Scott. I'm sure it will look nice when your done. It looked like a good stretch of the legs, looking for the well. Looking forward to the next video.
Get yourself some ski poles for trekking up those steep hills. They dig well into the ground, and you won't trip or fall. Always have gloves with you. Better have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.
Loved seeing you use that paper "model" to plan out your "bunker". It's a fairly common way of room planning I think - at least here in Australia. It really helps take away the struggle and juggling around of chunky furniture and makes it much easier to go through the various options and possibilities before putting the actual furniture anywhere. I hope it all fits in well and is the optimal work space for you Scott.
Love your channel and really enjoy not only seeing how you're doing things and what you do but also loving all the gorgeous scenery shots. They could have filmed endless Camelot type movies there or Lord of the Rings segments.
Am finally getting my head around your incredibly dry humour. I can't imagine many of your US audience understanding it at all.
Eagerly anticipating the products of your new camera gear. Can't wait.
Liked seeing inside your cabin Scott and the paper floor plan was good for your bookcases also hope you feel well soon.Katie you made a good job of sealing the roof and you are a great storyteller
I had totally forgotten about those transfers. In the 1970s, you could also buy transfers with scenes that folded out where you could rub down the images anywhere you wanted.
Breakfast cereals also came with plastic toys, paper cutouts, boxes with printed on the inside with things to be made. Tea came with cards to be collected and collectable football cards and later Star Wars cards to be bought on the way to school. What a time to be alive.
Lot of work to do, lot of work done, you're doing great! Love the nature parts and the stories. Take care you two!
for sure the sanding has effected you, ive been there . old school who needs a mask. , if persists get checked out
love the show. , cheers guys
Hi Episode 69 was delightful full of diversification. Loved Katie’s historical narration as it reminded me of my grandparents. They lived in an age when there was no financial help from the State but neighbours helped each other by sharing excess food etc. Thank you. 🐑🐑🐈⬛🐈⬛
Delightful, informative, amusing, surprising and charming - BOTH of you as always ....
Wonderful history there at the end! Thanks so much.
My brother is bottle-feeding 8 lambs this spring. I think they're about to get off the bottle full-time, but he's really exhausted!
Easy "Tree wood", no don't thank me.🤔
Winnie......winnie the pooh 💩
Lmbo hopefully she dosen't pooh to much lol😊😅😂
She ll be sweet as honey???
Bunty cut out dolls were awesome! I am sure the sheep will be happy without all the weight of the wool. The photographs and back ground history are really interesting. 'An exercise in vanity' Katie you put things in place so well. Nailed the slate rounding, well done Scott! You two deserve privacy. Does the 'Lady of the Lake' know there is a duck head sunk in your pond? Lamb(s) are coming! Olive or Oliver to go with the cheese names???
bunty perfect name for the new baby lamb .
you needed some sticky tac or tiny bits of gum...lol!
Oak oak oak has one of the best kept secrets of any tree...slicing oak root and tree to create shaze longes benches The best this man can get...💚🏴💚
The wood looks like ash or walnut maybe. Like you said, once you Osmo, it may become clearer.
That old rotting tree trunk you filmed, what causes that green tinge to the wood? Is that algae?
I don't think I've ever seen a live slug. I've seen pictures of them, but I've never seen one slurping along. I saw one gal who was gardening on youtube and she put out shallow saucers of beer to attract slugs. I thought that was weird.
Another was talking about using small plastic containers of half powdered sugar and half baking soda.
The previous residents probably put a barrel on a donkey and had the donkey carry the water down the hill.
Columba sure got around. I think I saw a program from Time Team who was digging up some Scottish Island where Columba might have visited and started some small community.
I've done the saucer of beer slug trap before...They all flock to it and drown, and emptying them out is very, VERRRRY 🤢🤢🤢🤢 Kx
Iona?
Silly question do you make your dresses or do buy them. If you buy them where do you get them from?
I buy them from Banned Retro or Top Vintage. Kx
So much beautiful gel prints and little critters and flowers. What a fun journal.
I sincerely hope you don't have Lime disease, Scott. Hopefully, it was fallout from the sanding, and charcoal will do the trick. But, in case it does turn out to be Lime, there is a Lime disease specialist doctor in Boston who cured my roommate. I know the common wisdom is that you can't cure it, but she was very sick, saw this doctor, and now is well. This is not hearsay, second or third hand - I personally saw this. I hope you never have to use this bit of knowledge.... good luck to you!
Enjoyed Katie's 'little historical bit' More please.
Also very impressed by your use of flashing band in such difficult circumstances/angles! Have tried to do similar with much worse results. Which product exactly did you use? and how much did the warm day help?
..keep up the good work. I've watched every episode
I think the sunshine did help make it more malleable. We used Bostik Flashband, the proper branded stuff and it worked well. No more leaks! Kx
Do you remember the bang bang, it was a two cardboard shapes with brown paper in between and when you forced it down it made a bang? Came in a comic, which one I can t remember.
Adan Ardrey's book 'Finding Merlin' is interesting re Arthur/Merlin's links to Scotland, if you guys don't know it.
We do have his book on Arthur.
🐑 I like the name Lindy (or Lindie) for Lindisfarne.
As for a cheese related name, there's the always popular Schnebelhorn... 😂
or Perl (Las). I enjoyed every bit, hope you're feeling better Scott. Cheers ❤x
Katie on a cool tin roof with her tea what a lovely picture!!!
I was waiting for her to answer Scott about how long it will take her to do the rest of the roof???lmbo
Thr landscape pic's are gorgeous an the music makes it all soooo enchanting
Keep the videos coming👍🏻
I don't like high spots either. Falling isn't the issue,,It's the sudden impact at the end I don't care for!
Even if you never figure out what wood the bookcase is made of, sanded and refinished it's still going to be a nice piece of furniture! What needs to be destroyed and re-built better is the shed featured in the start of this video. It's going rot out from underneath you in a year or two, even if you try to save it. For the same amount of time and effort, and not much more money you could have a building which will last a lifetime..
Katie, I love your attire. Do you make your outfits? Are they a traditional Scottish attire? I love the sleeves with the buttons down them.
They're from Banned Retro and Top Vintage. When one of them eventually falls apart, I'll take a pattern from it to make my own, but they do last forever! Kx
Fabulous shots of your surroundings, magical and grounding. Thank you so very much!
I love your history stories of the old folk . 'Without one another all of life is just an exercise in vanity’
I love watching your channel, I live in the U.S. in Tennessee and if I could go anywhere in the world to visit it would be Scotland. I'm sooo confused though, you say there are owners of the island, does that mean you are caretaker's of your cottage and property or do you actually own the cottage and the property around it? It's such a beautiful area and thank you for the videos.
Yes, we take care of the place in their absence and have the privilege of living here, just the two of us. Kx
my mum has been sick. missing your episode when it released yesterday was my major concern....well, close to it.
Love the floor lamp in the corner of the 'office'.
Did I see a sunken duck in the pond ?? 😂
Hope you are feeling better soon Scott. 😊
I enjoyed hearing about the wilderness and the forest where your island is situated. Ancient history is so interesting! Thank you for sharing it all! Good for you folks to keep your privacy and security top priority. ❤
Chestnut oak before 1850 ish wont be wormy???
WD 40 stinks, that’s the problem.
I am seeing a Ducks head in small pond about 11.28ish ??? 🤣😂🤣😊
I used to live in a tin house . You have slugs , I had newts 😂
At my early 1970s school in California, there were three girls named Kevin in the class ahead of me. Those were the only female Kevins I ever knew of.
Wonderful as always!
🤗
Could it be Walnut?
Your duck is drowning 😂
I'm very excited to see this super duper camera 🎉🎉
Only imagine if the waters could talk
A standing desk, maybe??
I think Fontina would be a cute name for the little lamb. 😊 That is a type of cheese. 😁
Love the mix of work and nature, very relaxing when it comes to looking at the amazing views, I remember the cut outs on the Corn Flakes boxes, gosh how long ago would that be! ….. sorry to hear your not feeling very well Scott, best wishes from the Derbys Dales 😊
Gwenddydd for the new wee lamb?
