Thank you Sarah! You make me feel as though I’m there with you! I know you realize how blessed you are to actually witness the vast beauty of Scotland. At my age and circumstance, I’ll never have the opportunity to experience what you so generously share with us! Thank you!
I was watching, getting lost in unbelievable beauty of it all, and it felt amazingly good! Not only because the scenery is so absolutely fabulous, but also because you are living your life to the full. Conquering new heights ( sometimes in its literal meaning), exploring, learning, enjoying every day! 👍 Having a blast, in short. Thank you for going an extra mile and taking us along, it's not a small feat to go by bike all that way and on top of that film all this beauty! Thank you!
“I feel like a martini.” 😂 I’m stealing that one. Rode along with you from my couch in the US while having my morning coffee but I’d rather be there. Gorgeous!!
Beautifully done Sarah. I am an old guy who loves to ride a bicycle. I purposely drop my shoulders and relax my grip to relieve the upper back and neck tension that builds up along the way. Once stationary, shoulder rolls, and some out of saddle time helps too!
Yay!!!! You did it!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking us along with you. The landscape is beautiful, your videography is breath taking, and your sensitive narration is always on point. Looking forward to the next portion of your journey.
Thank you for taking me along. Beautiful paintings, scenery and a good bike ride. I enjoyed seeing what food, snacks and drinks you were having. Take it easy and rest well.
I love this part of the world. Especially Stonehaven. I would live there in a heartbeat. Great you went on your bike. Might try your trail next time. Thanks for your amazing video.
Good for you! Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery. I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland. Thanks for bringing it to me like this and through your gorgeous art.
Absolutely amazing scenery and video of all the places you went. Loved your watercolour paintings. I’m so envious of where you live. Beautiful countryside and lucky for you no rain. Thanks for a wonderful look at your new country.
Wow that was cool! Thanks for taking us along. The castle was amazing - I could almost feel the atmosphere of it just watching the video. Must have been so hauntingly beautiful in person. Very nice sketches done along the way, too.
Girl your drone footage was top notch. It felt like I was watching a PBS documentary. Sooo lovely. I think the sheep running was my favorite part. I've never seen a sheep look so happy. Also, I appreciate you putting some music to the sound of the birds. You are right they were noisy, but the way you did it with music made it feel magical ✨
ZeeCee I feel the same way!! What’s wonderful about your videos Sarah is that you capture so much of the landscapes that even if I were there in person I wouldn’t see half of!! Thank you.
I have loved taking this journey with you. This not an area of the country I know well and your stop offs have given me a few tips of where I should be going for my holiday, 👍😃🏴
Thank you for this adventure! You are brilliant at putting these videos together. And I am always amazed that you do these trips all by yourself. The mom in me wants to say, be careful! 😍. But also, you go girl❣️ Lovely paintings. So much to treasure here, Sarah. “Guess I’ll have a waffle by a graveyard!” 🤣🤣
I live in montrose and cycle all around. Was awesome to see you ride some of the places i've also ridden and see how beautiful it all is around here. Great video.
I’m thinking Scotland’s tourism board should pay you for these videos. They’re so beautiful. You do such a great job with them. I now hope to visit Scotland someday.
Congratulations Sarah!! What an achievement. I've thoroughly enjoyed every second sharing your journey. I actually had a little tear at the end of this one. I've noticed my whole body relaxes when I watch your videos. I get taken away to this beautiful country you live in and marvel. Maybe one day I'll make it over there and experience it irl. I think I need to binge watch the whole journey again lol. Thank you
Wow Sarah, two words, THANK YOU! I always enjoy your coastal trips, but this was a special treat to see the little towns too. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed watching. Wish I could come one time to see in person what you see.
I'll be visiting a friend in SW England in the fall, and these videos of yours are a large part of why I've decided to make most of that trip a self-guided cycling tour and to attempt some plein air painting in the process (not my typical subject matter or setting, but why not). Thanks for sharing! 17:10 Looks like a stroopwaffel to me. Great with tea, or coffee, for you heathens!
Oh Sarah, you out did yourself with this video! Yes, the scenery was stunning but the storytelling and music choices were perfection 😻! It wasn’t only a scenic journey but also an emotional one. I found myself moved to tears at the beauty, laughter at the jokes (“I feel like a martini 😆”), and got chills at the castle. Scotland’s tourism board really needs to hire you because Scotland is now #1 on my travel to list! Thank you for sharing all this with us!!!! Now I am off to do your subscription box, which I was so excited to get in the mail yesterday😁!
Wow! You have convinced me to put Scotland at the top of my bucket list! So lush and green and gorgeous, beautiful views in every direction. A sketch and paint holiday sounds like a dream. Getting in shape enough to bike some of this sounds less dreamlike, but would be so worth it.Are there enough towns in the area to break this into maybe 4 days instead of 2? I don’t think I could do 20 miles a day. Thank you so much for sharing and just being you ❤
It could be your handlebars are too wide. The standard theory is that on a road bike it’s the width of your shoulders. Since you’re not racing, it should probably be close to that as well on your mountain bike. You don’t need a new handlebar. You or a bike shop can just cut off an inch or two to fit. It might be the camera angle but you look like your arms are fully extended. Maybe take it into a bike shop and tell them the pain you’re feeling and they can suggest a fix. Also padded shorts helps a lot on those long rides. Thanks again for the beautiful video and taking us along for the ride.
I‘m riding an electric bike and recently had my handle bars shortened - feels a LOT better although it took a bit of time getting used to the different feel of steering (bike responds faster).
Thank you, my bike is currently in the shop getting a few bits sorted (like the squeak). I'll ask them about the bars. I do wear padded shorts. Couldn't go long distances without them!
Congratulations Sarah on completing the trail and thank you so much for the wonderful video. As usual the photography is fantastic as are your lovely paintings. I always feel so relaxed watching your videos and they are so inspiring. How synchronistic that the 5th subscription box was delivered to me tonight so am even more inspired to paint it.
It’s absolutely stunning isn’t it in Scotland. We live in the very far north of the Highlands and it’s been 2 years and we are still overwhelmed by its beauty. Love sharing our adventures here in our own YT channel xxx
Wow Sarah, Love your artwork and your video is amazing! Thank you so much for bringing us along on your journey! I enjoyed every second of it, even the up hill sections (maybe more than you). Haha. That was a beautiful cat in the video, he would be a nice addition to your painting(a cute little character). I just found your videos last week on RUclips. Shared this one with my little sister. She will enjoy your videos too. Thanks again and great job! ❤Rita
Wow, what a video, I felt like I was there traveling too. It is a magical place. The drone footage adds so much. Thank you for a fun Saturday trip. I kept thinking about how cold winters must have been in a castle. So glad to see you on the train at the end. 🥾🧤🧳🏅🏆🚵🏻♀️
congratulations on finishing the aberdeenshire coast!!! on to angus next! i'd love a wrap up video, looking back at your experience on this section of the coast. could also be interesting to compare it to the moray county coast, maybe talk about what you learned from each of them? ETA maybe also talk about your favorite place in each county? or where you'd like to go back to?
ahhhh! i'm so grateful that you share these experiences with us! you capture scottland so beautifully and every time i see one of your videos it's such a good reminder to get out in nature (even if the bit i'm in isn't as scenic as yours lol)
so very green and expansive. I need to look on a map of scotland to see where you were exactly. i could tell you were a bit tired the second day and then you got your second wind! When you said you were catching the train in Montrose, it was so weird because the closest city to me is Montrose Colorado! I go there twice a week.
Ohhhhh myyyyy this was really beautiful. What a delight to follow you along on your journey. When you were at the castle …and you played the music from Tony Anderson..Oyarsa… it was absolutely THE perfect music for that castle scene. Congratulations on finishing your first leg of your journey around Scotland!
That’s really crazy …because the minute you started walking through the castle I immediately heard that song in my head…and then when you played it …ha! ….I just about fell over, lol
Gorgeous video, thanks for sharing! I normally watch on my ipad or MacBook but thought I should watch this one on a larger screen TV and I’m so glad I did; it was like watching a beautiful documentary. I think the hills would have done me in, glad you had some nice meals to recover (love seeing food 😊).
Don't know if I can express how much it means to see Scotland with you. I'll never be able to go over in person and your vantage point really makes it feel like I've been there. You need to do a series of "cats I've met along the way", what a beauty. May I ask what brush you were using doing the line work on the castle? It was one i don't remember ever seeing anywhere. Extremely long tip on a good sized belly. Thank you for taking us on your journey. Does the tourism board realize they should be hiring you?❤
Aw, I loved this. You make Scotland so appealing....well, maybe not that rocky path or the noise of all those birds. I'm surprised you weren't pooped on!!
Such a gorgeous tour of the Scottish coastline Sarah! LOVED those Jim Malcolm metal sculptures!! What brand is that lovely long point quill rigger brush you use? Am obsessed with long point brushes lately. Thank you for taking us on a fabulous journey!!!
Sarah...such a beautiful video of the coast. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Good choice of music...it added a peacefulness to the video. That cat was awesome. Was it a Scottish wildcat or just a domestic?
Congratulations on completing the Aberdeenshire Coastline! I'm not sure if a video on this channel or your art channel would be appropriate for a segment on making time to draw and paint while traveling and deciding on what supplies to bring. Do you pre-select the landmarks/locations you want to paint before your trip and leave time for spontaneity?
Would you mind sharing the kind of brush ( and the brand) , that you’re using when you paint the stones of the castle… it looks similar to a calligraphy brush, but it’s also a quill … it just makes the most beautiful tiny script liner type strokes and I’m just wondering what the brush is..Tia!
I have one of my action cameras on my bike, but a lot of times I'm holding my phone in one hand while I glide along (it's a better camera) And when I do the drone, I just stop and fly a little
Thankyou so much for taking this 72 year old on your biking adventure. Through you I am touring the beautiful country!!
Thank you Sarah! You make me feel as though I’m there with you! I know you realize how blessed you are to actually witness the vast beauty of Scotland. At my age and circumstance, I’ll never have the opportunity to experience what you so generously share with us! Thank you!
I think about this often. And how someday I won't physically be able to do it. I feel now is the time
I was watching, getting lost in unbelievable beauty of it all, and it felt amazingly good! Not only because the scenery is so absolutely fabulous, but also because you are living your life to the full.

Doing what I can with the time given to me 🚴♀️
This was so beautiful. Thank you so much for making it, for sharing it. I can't express how much I loved it. 💝
What an epic and gorgeous video! Thank you so much, Sarah, for your generosity! ❤
Just beautiful countryside and you did it🎇
Peck doorway stretches will help. Tell Woofie you deserve a massage.
Ah, Sarah, thanks for taking us along on your adventures. I fall in love with place you take us.
“I feel like a martini.” 😂 I’m stealing that one. Rode along with you from my couch in the US while having my morning coffee but I’d rather be there. Gorgeous!!
😄
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and the stunning scenery x
Beautifully done Sarah. I am an old guy who loves to ride a bicycle. I purposely drop my shoulders and relax my grip to relieve the upper back and neck tension that builds up along the way. Once stationary, shoulder rolls, and some out of saddle time helps too!
I guess that will take some practice. I do have to actively think about it!
Yay!!!! You did it!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking us along with you. The landscape is beautiful, your videography is breath taking, and your sensitive narration is always on point. Looking forward to the next portion of your journey.
Yay! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing scenery and video of all the places you went. Loved your watercolour paintings. I’m so envious of where you live. Beautiful countryside and lucky for you no rain.
Thanks for a wonderful look at your new country.
I really lucked out with weather..it got cold again and raining every day since!
Fantastic - loved the watercolours too!
Wow that was cool! Thanks for taking us along. The castle was amazing - I could almost feel the atmosphere of it just watching the video. Must have been so hauntingly beautiful in person. Very nice sketches done along the way, too.
Hauntingly beautiful is how I describe most of Scotland 😊
Girl your drone footage was top notch. It felt like I was watching a PBS documentary. Sooo lovely. I think the sheep running was my favorite part. I've never seen a sheep look so happy. Also, I appreciate you putting some music to the sound of the birds. You are right they were noisy, but the way you did it with music made it feel magical ✨

I have loved taking this journey with you. This not an area of the country I know well and your stop offs have given me a few tips of where I should be going for my holiday, 👍😃🏴
I hope you enjoy it! So many great places to see
Love this, watched it again and shared with a Daughter.❤
The beauty you portray in your videos often brings me to tears. I can no longer travel so I deeply appreciate what you are sharing. Thank you.
It's my pleasure
Beautiful! I got the brushes you designed from Craftemo Thursday. Oh my goodness! They are lovely. Excited to get my first of your subscription boxes!
Thank you for this adventure! You are brilliant at putting these videos together. And I am always amazed that you do these trips all by yourself. The mom in me wants to say, be careful! 😍. But also, you go girl❣️ Lovely paintings. So much to treasure here, Sarah. “Guess I’ll have a waffle by a graveyard!” 🤣🤣
I had my cat's tracking collar with me so that wolfy could track me the whole way 🤣
I live in montrose and cycle all around. Was awesome to see you ride some of the places i've also ridden and see how beautiful it all is around here. Great video.
Do you ever get nervous riding the roads? Some of them are fast and I'm so paranoid about cars!
well done, one of your best videos. Your paintings were beautiful.
Great video Sarah, very well presented and great footage.
" ... my legs are so white they are safety features" 🤣
Cheers 🚲👍
🤣
Gorgeous and fun and full of heart… love traveling like this with you, Sarah 💚💜🩷 Thank you for sharing! 😊
I’m thinking Scotland’s tourism board should pay you for these videos. They’re so beautiful. You do such a great job with them. I now hope to visit Scotland someday.
I do it for fun :)
Congratulations Sarah!! What an achievement. I've thoroughly enjoyed every second sharing your journey. I actually had a little tear at the end of this one. I've noticed my whole body relaxes when I watch your videos. I get taken away to this beautiful country you live in and marvel. Maybe one day I'll make it over there and experience it irl. I think I need to binge watch the whole journey again lol. Thank you
That's exactly what I hope for when I make these videos!
Wow Sarah, two words, THANK YOU! I always enjoy your coastal trips, but this was a special treat to see the little towns too. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed watching. Wish I could come one time to see in person what you see.
What a special and beautiful video - thank you for sharing all the beauty with us.
Thank you do much for vlogging your adventure and filming my beloving Scotland !

17:10 Looks like a stroopwaffel to me. Great with tea, or coffee, for you heathens!
Oh that's sounds amazing! I am not sure what it's like down there but it's probably still lovely.
Oh Sarah, you out did yourself with this video! Yes, the scenery was stunning but the storytelling and music choices were perfection 😻! It wasn’t only a scenic journey but also an emotional one.

I really enjoyed being on this beautiful journey with you Sarah- well done you 😁
Thank you for the visit to Scotland…
Lovely Sarah, thank you for sharing. I love these videos it gives us a chance to experience Scotland through your eyes and feelings. 😊
I like what it really sounds like, that was a funny sound transition, thanks for sharing your journey
Bravo!!!❤️
Wow! You have convinced me to put Scotland at the top of my bucket list! So lush and green and gorgeous, beautiful views in every direction. A sketch and paint holiday sounds like a dream.

I don’t think I could do 20 miles a day. Thank you so much for sharing and just being you ❤
Yes there are lots of little towns on the east coast. You could do much smaller sections
Congratulations Sarah! You did it! That castle! Whoa ...
Thank you!! 😊

@@ayokakaiser I did too. It makes sense since these bars are stock and made to cover a variety of body types. Shortening them is quite common.
@@sarahinscotland Good luck! I hope they get it sorted out.
Congratulations Sarah on completing the trail and thank you so much for the wonderful video. As usual the photography is fantastic as are your lovely paintings. I always feel so relaxed watching your videos and they are so inspiring. How synchronistic that the 5th subscription box was delivered to me tonight so am even more inspired to paint it.
Thank you so much!
Upper and middle back release yoga style is Eagle arms swapping to both sides then followed by fish pose. Works for me! 😊
Thank you I will look it up
Thank you Sarah for sharing the gorgeous scenery on your bike trekking adventure💙🕊.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s absolutely stunning isn’t it in Scotland. We live in the very far north of the Highlands and it’s been 2 years and we are still overwhelmed by its beauty. Love sharing our adventures here in our own YT channel xxx
I can't imagine what a wet, cold summer you've been having! It's been horrendous here...
@@sarahinscotland It’s been pretty wet that’s for sure! 🤣😬
Nice to see the east coast, never been interested in that part of Scotland and been all over
What a beautiful scenery!,, love this video..
Wow Sarah, Love your artwork and your video is amazing! Thank you so much for bringing us along on your journey! I enjoyed every second of it, even the up hill sections (maybe more than you). Haha.

I know, whenever I’m in an old stone structure I imagine how hard life would have been in the winter 🥶

I think I will go towards Inverness next, I have unfinished business!! (used to live there)
Wow, what a trip! Such beautiful pictures! Good for you for taking that trip!
ahhhh! i'm so grateful that you share these experiences with us! you capture scottland so beautifully and every time i see one of your videos it's such a good reminder to get out in nature (even if the bit i'm in isn't as scenic as yours lol)
That’s my favorite castle!
so very green and expansive. I need to look on a map of scotland to see where you were exactly. i could tell you were a bit tired the second day and then you got your second wind! When you said you were catching the train in Montrose, it was so weird because the closest city to me is Montrose Colorado! I go there twice a week.
It definitely made me think of Montrose CO :D
Amazing ❤ Absolutely fantastic video. You are my hero Sarah 🤗
Thank you ☺️
I got tired just watching you. 😅 Beautiful scenery ❤

I hope you did a watercolour of the final scenes with the heron!
I did!
Thank you for sharing,,,
To me it is perfect!
Amazing scenery. Well done.
Gorgeous video, thanks for sharing! I normally watch on my ipad or MacBook but thought I should watch this one on a larger screen TV and I’m so glad I did; it was like watching a beautiful documentary. I think the hills would have done me in, glad you had some nice meals to recover (love seeing food 😊).
The hills..oh the hills! And Google maps always says “mostly flat” 😝 no way!
Ok! This is way too good to watch on a phone!! I must get the laptop!!
🤣

It’s a pinstripe brush
So beautiful ❤
Aw, I loved this. You make Scotland so appealing....well, maybe not that rocky path or the noise of all those birds. I'm surprised you weren't pooped on!!
WOW😊
Such a gorgeous tour of the Scottish coastline Sarah! LOVED those Jim Malcolm metal sculptures!! What brand is that lovely long point quill rigger brush you use?
Am obsessed with long point brushes lately. Thank you for taking us on a fabulous journey!!!
It's a Davinci
Oops, no it's called Tintoretto : Feltracco : Synthetic Watercolour Brush : Series 1408 : Liner : Size 0
Sarah...such a beautiful video of the coast. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Good choice of music...it added a peacefulness to the video. That cat was awesome. Was it a Scottish wildcat or just a domestic?
I think it was domestic, but possible a cross
Amazing ❤
Gorgeous travel log❤
Thank you!

You are amazing! That was awesome! I still don’t understand how you filmed that while biking. Was the camera on your helmet???
I have one of my action cameras on my bike, but a lot of times I'm holding my phone in one hand while I glide along (it's a better camera)
And when I do the drone, I just stop and fly a little
Beautiful video and views! How much time to do all the editing? You are so talented to take all these images!
This video took me so long to edit. Like at least 4 days, several hours each day. And I still didn’t get it perfect. But I need to move on 🤣
…continued…and the aches and exhaustion is related to these problems in your body.
