Hello you two I already do the subscription for you every month but how do I get presents etc to you does it have to be via your amazon wish list ??
@@yvonneward Yes, Yvonne. A PO Box is unjustifiably expensive every month. So this wish list is currently the only means of getting things to us.
I’ve been on Amazon for your wish list but it says I can’t send it to
We're sorry. This item can't be delivered to a List or gift registry address.
@@yvonneward If you are living outside of the UK, you need to log out of your Amazon account and then go to Amazon.co.uk. You then login again to Amazon at the UK address (with your usual username and password), and then you will be able to purchase gifts from our list.
@@TheScottishIsle I live in Scotland 🏴 I’ll keep trying I’m not good with this kind of thing 😂😀
Lovely to see how grateful you were Scott for the gifts you received.
The kindness and generosity of people is amazing.
I would love to see you wash, card, and spin your sheep’s wool! Knit something lovely! Enjoying your videos, especially little Shona❤️
"... because I aam highly precautious... You know what I'm like"
I do so appreciate both of your different but dry senses of humour. Thank you for being yourselves.
Oh my goodness 😮😮😮 Whoever Jane is? That is an awesome gift to bestow on this fabulous pair and their gorgeous sheep ❤❤
Dream catchers work! They are especially good for children who wake up from bad dreams. My mother recommended a dream catcher for my sister's little boy. She figured that it couldn't hurt. She put it up, and she was no longer having to get up four to eight times a night with her toddler. Worked like a charm!
Catching up. The pic of Shona on her chair is priceless. I can see the wheels turning with the chain link find. A wind chime is a thought. Once again Katie brings natural beauty to the cottage with her garden that will surely blossom. Missed you all on Wednesday
Great episode. Can't wait to see the flowers in bloom.
Such kind and generous people helping you out, blessings.
Watching you building, planting, and watering your new garden I was admiring how much you've changed the little cottage in just a year.
Inspiring what your vision and hard work can do.
I lived in Germany many years ago in the countryside with a cow pasture right outside my window. I watched them all the time and became a vegetarian after that experience. I can't be a part of animal cruelty. I really enjoy your interactions with your wonderful animals. Scott, your humor is wonderful.
Thanks to you both , for a very peaceful , productive , & informative episode.
Love how you transformed the flower bed , stunning backdrop to your little chats . Those sheep have the best life ever . ❤
You are two gentle souls❤
Loving Scott's artifacts of the pre-industrial Hebridean vernacular (I made that up) , and the mound. As ever, Katie doing a great job of transforming the cottage. It's a proper autonomous collective...
Dr Martens boots.....The young ones and Alexei Sayle ...Flipping brill
The Iris plants are spectacular !
aren't they though, magnificent!
I did Google it, and iris are poisonous to sheep, goats, and cattle. Most don't like the taste of it.
That old path would be a good place to metal detect when the bracken dies back
A beautiful couple, a beautiful island... I can't even complete the sentence. I am insanely jealous! Just please love and enjoy your BS free lives together. Love.
I think the only reason Katie wasn't whisked away by the Good Folk while standing on that mound is that the camera was on her!
That mound is a real mystery, obvious clearing but you wouldn't think it would be that round if it was just where fill had been dumped or the like. Gosh that is so generous to gift the shearers, bet they'll make it so much easier. I remember clipping the horses and having to hold the 30yr old Arab's front leg out to straighten out his old man wrinkles so we didn't nick him! Fun times..that blimin hair gets everywhere, hope the wool isn't as bad!
Hi Scott, you did a great impersonation- the thinker!
Irises in yellow ,would look great by the cottage, Katie you have some good ldeas,
16:29 Glad that you don't cut that out. Gave me a big laugh.
The stone circle is for building a fire and dancing around naked in the moonlight 😊🤭🤭
Can’t wait to see the iris bloom!! 💐
Lovely hat Katie x
The kindness and generosity of people is amazing. Scott I love your chain find and Katie you and Shona have such a cute friendship, she followers you every where. Have a lovely week.
Another trade to add to moss tickler Scott. Fence post maker 😂
Scott, when you moan about little tasks Katie asks you to do, you should be called "Puffin" ... fits nicely with the boat😅
Katie got a mozzie bite...reminds me of the time my wife went to play golf...she came home very early and told me she'd been stung by a bee, where I asked & she replied between the 1st & 2nd hole...I said you're stance is too wide 😅😅😅😅
I love that Scott is a fellow goblin!! I save everything I find in the wild too!
🙋♀️❤️ Yes! Curiouser and Curiouser! How beautiful!
I come from the True Crime Community, including the Drama and Crama (Crime and Drama) communities, OMG, such peace over here, I adore your both.
Same here, love watching true crime or sewing, crochet quilting whilest sewing my own stuff.
But when life gets to busy or noisy then videos like this with birdsong and tress, lakes and mountains are just perfect for winding down.
Lovely to see the island change. ❤🌿🐑
Phil Harding would be excited about the old chain link. It could be an important national treasure.
Love it , a sheep with its own chair 😂❤
Sunny day
Everything is looking lovely and cared for.
I would have thought with the kayakers, you’d be more likely to lay cannon out than build a tea room.
I got Katies Life of Brian reference.
As each video goes by the more lush and green the island becomes. The bountiful of irises is amazing and will be so beautiful in bloom. Shona is precious and she fits in her chair perfectly 😁 ❤️🤗
Your news beds are going to look beautiful against the white wall and the green patch of lawn ! ❤
You two are amazing people. You have sheep as pets! You obviously care about them very much. This episode was fun to watch. The area outside the the cottage will look great. You deserve the gifts you receive. Good luck with the shearing!
Hello Katie and Scott, The Island sure is looking beautiful. I'm sure when all of the irises bloom, it's going to be a beautiful color of yellow across the landscape. Katie You amaze me, with all your inventiveness.That you have. When it comes to landscaping and creating. I'm sure the flower beds that you just constructed. And put seeds in will be beautiful.Scott That was really nice of you to make a little wooden stakes for Katie for the flower bed. On your walk in the meadow I guess you might say, the discovery of the mound with the circle of stones around it. Sounds fascinating I wonder what exactly might be there?...
Also that would be great if somehow you could create a pathway from that spot to the cottage. It sounded like it might be a shortcut possibly? I so enjoy watching your videos each week. And look forward to the next one.
Another great vlog with some different views. At least Scott gave a lot of thought about who he could impersonate. The stone circle(s) were very interesting. The Irises are going to be spectacular and look forward to seeing them. It must nearly be your first anniversary on the Island. The shearer was a great gift and hope to see you in an Aran jumper soon. Xx
Congratulations on 4k ❤
Ah, Katie, you're a gardener after my own heart - there's not a straight line anywhere in my garden. Scott, thanks for walking around the mound. It really helped us to see it. Whatever it is, it's definitely made by humans. And as for the chain link, I vote for a chain mooring boats. As chain mail, it wouldn't be of much use - arrows would penetrate really easily. Thank you so much for making these videos. It's a real treat to be able to follow your explorations and projects.
Really enjoying your blogs I watch you both just before I go to bed at midnight, love Scott’s dry sense of humour and Katie natural love for nature , you both are amazing. xox
If that chain could talk, oh the tales it could tell! And maybe it could tell you what is in the cairn.
So true.. I love ancient mysteries and that place is ancient.
Can’t wait to see the wildflowers appear. I hope the sheepy ba bas don’t look on them as a treat😂❤️
Alexa Sale classic.
Thank you
Slabs make it easy to get to front door. I've seen where they made a curvy path with slabs by cutting them at the curves, that way still have a smooth path to your front , and can
Easy tra sport goods
Thanks for the visit
I think Time Team is still around and has a channel on You Tube. Would love to see what turns up with that mound! I enjoy your content very much! Thank you for sharing the many aspects of a simpler, not easier, but much more gratifying life.
The possible Cairn is fascinating. It looks very likely. Perhaps a metal detector would go off if there was some metal belongings buried within the mound? Though that might make you more curious if it goes off haha. Totally agree with the sheep shearing, I hate seeing sheep thrown around too. Could watch lil Shauna in her armchair all day though! Looking forward to seeing the flowerbeds and irises 😊
Call Time Team 😃
California poppies are beautiful for a short time. They will look lovely with the blue lupine. Central coast CA.
Hi Scott and Katie good work lovely show have an amazing time there. From me way over here on an island called Newfoundland. Best regards Sharon
This is becoming one of my favorites to watch can't wait to see sum drone footage of the island what an amazing place.
You hav alot of exploring to do lol
I'm actually starting to understand your accent lol I luv listening to both of you.
And watching you learn as you go.
Can't wait for the next video, Scott cracks me up an Kate just aggs it on 👍
My father always says 'Read The Destructions ' 😂
great show as usual . days fly by in the city. cheers guys
Great video,from PrinceEdwardIsland,Canada ,Shona is cute❣️
I am fiddling "Swinging on a Gate" on my Violin.
hello from the rocky mid-coast of Maine US. Wednesday May 22, 2024....
"......and every where that Mary went......"
"...the lamb was sure to go" 😁
It is amazing how beautiful it is 🌳🪵🌿🌱🌲⛰🪨🐑🐑🐑
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
You pair are a pleasure too watch. Just a thought would conduit help with the lead for the outdoor internet thingi.
God bless🙏
I think you’re filming too far away! Love the show.😊
Have you ever watched The Detectorists? Its one of my favourite TV series. I think it's your sense of humour too. It's on BBC iPlayer at the mo 😂
Yes. I (Scott) absolutely loved that show.
@@TheScottishIsle I can see that especially when you mentioned the XP Deus 😁 it's just so cleverly written isn't it 🤣 bloody masterpiece
Where we live, Ants love the rocks. They build a warren under the rocks and I have to put ant powder under them every year or so to inhibit the large colonies.
One of the things I think about when considering buying any property, including a coastal/island property, is ticks. I wonder if it's possible or truly beneficial to get some types of the animals that eat them, include guinea fowl, opossums, turkeys, chickens, and squirrels.
Instead of a museum I think it should be Scott’s Curiousities & Oddities. That way you could charge admission 😬
This is an excellent idea. Navigate around the regulations.
Wow guys, not far off 50k subs! Amazing :)
Katie is the most natural and truest beauty on YT!
True beauty deserves no comment. It is self evident. A beautiful couple. A beautiful landscape. I cannae wait for the fishing vid
I found 2 bottles one with a name brewery 1918-1964 i believe it closed it is broke but i am keeping it other has a conclave bottom no name also broke keeping it😊
Great video they are getting better all the time well worth watching one of the best on tube
Yet another great Vlog, I would just like to know where do I send my address for these 3D glasses LOL. Looking forward to Sundays Vlog you two are so good to watch.. Love from Australia.
🤔 Didn't Time Team investigate stone mounds in the woods, stone enclosure near a suspected 7th century christian site on Mull? (A Saintly Site, Isle of Mull) Find any quartz pebbles, pottery sherds...? I wonder if Wessex Uni did Lidar of all the other surrounding island hilltops? The lidar images of that site might aide in interpreting your island's odd sticky-outie bits/linear features as well. Worth watching again for the history. just a thought.
You need to double check plants to make sure they are safe around the cats. I know all lillies are toxic to cats. They dont even have to try to eat them. All they need is to brush past them and then wash themselves. I had a full on drama trying to arange my garden last year because of my cats 😮
36:05 I'm pretty sure that is actually a custom birth-control device for Siamese twins.
Add some sea weed to your soil. X
❤️
❤
Do you think it could have been some of chain down sprout they sing in the rain
Please be careful of cutting back any Bracken . The spores are carcinogenic I believe..
Could the mound be a rock garden, a place where they had picnics? Or a burial place for their pets?
3D episode, you mean Donald, Duncan.and Dundee?
😊
What’s in the mound?!?!!!
The wildflowers you planted- are any of them toxic to the sheep just in case they would try to eat them? Just wondering. We have goats and ours seem to know what is toxic and what is not .
They seem to know; little Shona might need kept away though - she's a nibbler!
Have you magnet fished the pond?
No, but there's an idea!
@@TheScottishIsle we don't have a pond but I'm tempted to make one so I can magnet fish it.. bet I'd find loads of good stuff.
May I ask if you have come across any evidence of Prehistoric Man such as his stone tools please ?
Not yet...!
Alexi Sayle Dr Martins boots
Any Lidar survey been done for your area?
I don't think so.
Do IRis grow wild there or have these been set out?
The grow wild almost everywhere.
SCOTT is becoming jack hargraves he just need a pipe.
or David bellomy its saying everything looks simply enormous
or Michel benteen potty time with sound effects Katies keeping him on his toes
Do you have a p o box address please ? 😊
No, it's a bit of an expense. Kx
May I ask if you’ve protected the wall of your cottage from the moisture you’ll get from the soil, that is against the wall. I only ask as I made this mistake over 30 years ago and ended up ruining a stone wall, at least that’s what the builder and landlord said.
All of the soil has been removed from the front of this section of the cottage, and a waterproof membrane set in place. There is no soil against the wall.
I enjoy watching the two of you. Your easy, casual, playful banter is so candid. Katie with her drive to improve and beautify your home, Scott with your awe and wonder of all the new things you find so exciting. Katie, as a knitter, I'm curious about your plans for the sheep wool. Will you clean it, card it, spin it and make yarn? If so and you have any to spare, I'd like to buy some. It would be special to me to have. I have knitted items from Shetland wool, and Galway wool from Ireland and Icelandic wool. Just a thought.
🥳 YAY !!!! You did it... 40K subscribers 🥳🎉 HUGE achievement in one year!
Onward & upward🚀 Congratulations Katie & Scott. ❤x
Thank you so much!!

Interesting finds I would like the opportunity to teach you dowsing as it would help you to find what’s in the likes the of the mound and find underground water courses. Pm me if interested.
