I, too, have mental health days and concerns about money, health, etc. These things are unavoidable, but you bring the beauty of the Highlands to many of us and that is healing! I am trying to pay off debt, live more simply, and appreciate the beauty that is around me. Thank you for all you bring to this channel!
Aw thank you for your comment! :)
I love Scotland
Thank you Molly for this week’s episode. Each week I am being gently reminded of how I can slow down my own lifestyle and bring more of nature into it. So thank you! ☺️🙏🌿
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
Molly you are correct when you say that we should not be working such long hours to pay for something we don’t really need eg huge houses , new cars and the latest fashion and tech but unfortunately in these times we all need quite a lot of money for basics ! Beautiful vlog as always, have a great week x
Yes, I agree, you do live in a beautiful part of Scotland, surrounded by nature, which is good for the soul, but as you mentioned a beautiful place is no guarantee for being happy all the time or being content (but a good step towards it😉). Happiness is an inside job. Thank you for your honesty Molly 🙏
Thank you for your comment :)
Love this
I always find your videos peaceful and calming, while at the same time inspiring and I'm full of admiration for you knowing yourself so well and following your heart at such a young age - its taken me a lot longer!
Aw thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed 😊
Dear Molly, thank you for such a heartfelt video with such wise words 💚 your surroundings are truly food for the soul. Wishing you a peaceful week, hugs to you and Sky 🐾
Thank you! :)
This video made me feel so at peace
You’re living my dream. Well done to you for getting out of the rat race so young and realising what you need to do to look after yourself.
Beautiful scenery, and I appreciated hearing your thoughts. I just returned from my first visit to Scotland!
Thank you Molly,beautifully spoken 🙏 💛🌻
Beautiful message and a massive inspiration, thank you Molly I can’t agree enough 💜
Aw thank you!
Hello my dear friend
Thank you for your great and beautiful video
It was great as always, my kind and artistic colleague😊😊❤
Molly what a peaceful restful and fulfilling piece of work.
Thank you for the weekly reminder to slow down, be grateful, present and mindful.
Thank you
Jane ☺️ x
Contentment, thats all we need. Such stunning views, how can you not embrace this beauty. Have a lovely week x😀
I live in the Strathspey and love seeing the Cairngorms each week displayed so beautifully through your videos! 🥰 We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the world! xx
We really are! :)
Love this. Thanks Molly ❤
Lovely video, thank you for sharing!

Beautiful words, scenery & truth. Thank you for your honesty about this life. Jesus Bless you with His beautiful peace.
This is beautiful ❤️
Thank you Molly for your wonderful vlogs. I absolutely love where you live and totally agree with you that the most important thing is what is going on in your mind. I find your vlogs so relaxing and inspiring. As an older lady (Im 67) I really admire your insightfulness. I wish I would have had that at your age. Keep spreading your message of authentic living. It is sorely needed in today's world.❤😊
Such a lovely vlog to watch. And look at that subscriber number !! Well done.
beautiful video, thank you for reminding me about the beauty of a simple life
Thank you :)
Thank you for a great video. A pros and cons of rural living video would be great too
Enjoyed
Beautiful video, inspirational and I love your photography work it is healing for the soul. I am grateful for your words of wisdom. Thank you xx
Thank you! :)
I would say that health is your most precious asset. I've got plenty of time but can't do much coz of health challenges. Taking a lot of getting used to. So thank you for your glimpses outside and the land of my ancestors
Hello Molly thank you for another wonderful blog. You are so right in all you say. You are a wise old soul. The Scottish Highlands are truly beautiful. xx
Thank you!
Always happy and lovely to see a video from Molly with her beautiful dog 🐕. Another excellent video and love 🥰 it. Have a great week Molly.
Thank you! :)
Beautiful video! My favourite of yours 🥰 thanks so much for sharing 🍂
Aw thanks so much :)
♥Best wishes from Alaska!
Great video. Thanks for sharing in a thoughtful way.
Thank you! :)
Inspiriting video, I am also embarking on the journey of slow life and believe me it is making my very restless (me being an urban dweller always). This video gives me confidence that there are people around who are resonating with the 'minimalism' concept and I am on the right path.. Cheers!!
Thank you for sharing the beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Your thoughts are motivational in a positive way. Hello from Tennessee.
I'm so glad you enjoyed :)
What a beautiful video Molly. We've been living in a cabin surrounded by woods in Dunkeld, Fife, for three weeks while our kitchen at our home in Edinburgh is renovated. It's rather like being on a retreat. The Autumn colours are so astonishing this year. Even the rain adds beauty to the woodland! Thank you for all your lovely videos.
Absolutely love this channel and your energy! Amazing video!
Aw thanks so much! :)
Really beautiful life :)
Love your videos- seeing old regular haunts such as the walks and places like Loch morlich and Loch an Eileen takes me back to many happy times when I was younger- Grandparents used to live in Aviemore, so many a holiday was spent with them exploring the glens, walking round the lochs and skiing on the hills!
Aw I'm so glad you enjoyed! They sound like wonderful memories :)
I’ve been through some very dark days and wasn’t able to get much help or understanding but now I’m coming out the other side. I am a Christian and my faith has helped me through but so has living by the sea. There are still some areas of my life that I need to work on but I am slowly getting there. I love watching your videos although I know for sure rural life wouldn’t be for me unless I drove which I do not. But I love it when my hubby and I go on holidays in the countryside and experience it just a little bit x
Yes Jesus has been with me through the bumps of this life
Beautiful, the highlands are my favourite place, I can only holiday there. Your channels helps me to get my fix 🌿❤️
I'm glad! :)
Great video, Molly. Thank you so much for pointing out that one's inner world is important. While surroundings enhance that realm, it's not everything.
Thank you!
..my life will never be the same.. I almost cried!
I was in the highlands yesterday and I wanted to stay! Unfortunately as a german citizen it is not easy (almost impossible) to get a visa for Scotland. Thanks Brexit. And I wanted to move to the Highlands long before my friend recommended your channel to me btw 😊
Thanks for this lovely video Molly ❤ What you say is very true, and think the changes you've made are wonderful and inspiring! Although I dream of living in the countryside one day, for now I try cherish the beauty that's already around me, whilst trying to live a quiet and simple life as best I can in the frantic south-east of England 😊
Thank you! It sounds like you have a wonderful mindset :)
You’re right but better up here than down there
Hi Molly, this is one of my fave videos to date - So inspiring in many ways and I always take stock of how fortunate and grateful that I am to live here in beautiful Shropshire, where I have access to so much lovely natural scenic splendour AND it's easy to go to other places as I'm in the centre of the country. All the best to you and yours (especially Skye) 🥰
Aw I'm so glad! Thank you :)
@@hippyhighlandliving Any time, my lovely 😁
❤ Forever Scotland ❤
Your life does look idyllic , but I know life isn't like that 100% of the time.. Just being able to find peace in your daily life is a blessing. Good job
It's lovely to see how nature affects your lifestyle, including reading. Gorgeous. I would love to visit. And, awkwardly, I wish I could be friends with you!
Aw that's sweet thank you!
What a gorgeous channel, new viewer here delighted to have found you. Do you mind me asking you what mic you use for your voiceover work on here? The one I've been using is a bit too quiet and I'm on the lookout for a better one. Thanks :)
my partner and I are thinking about leaving the rather large city in germany we live in currently to move back to my roots to ireland, and I am rather conflicted about it, but then my best friend said something very wise: ‘you can have poor mental health and money problems in ireland as well, in fact you probably will, but at least the nature is much nicer and the noise less annoying’
That said, that was a wonderful video, I really appreciated your insights and thoughts about living more rual, and more slowly and simpler. Thanks!
I'm so glad you enjoyed and your friend sounds very wise! :)
Over the last couple of years I have struggled with being a highly sensitive person.But watching videos such as this remind me that there are other people who crave tranquility and peace❤️
Where is the Walmarts and Home Depot’s? lol looks nice there my brother works there he loves it!!!
Can you video abut inverness city because i really like inverness 😊
💙
Que hermoso :D
Is there a link to your sustainable clothing please?
I tried to order that Caledonian Forest Candle, but is not available to ship in the US. 🙁
Hi molly. Thanks for what u do. Is the council tax super high up there? Whats the overall costs for water and heating i seriously would love to move up there. Just an idea im after of the costs. Thanks
❤❤❤❤😊
Hi Molly, what part of the highlands are you in, only asking as I’m looking for somewhere for a really quiet break with not many if any people around? Lovely vlog, thanks for sharing, take care xx
I live near Aviemore in the Cairngorms :)
Hi Molly,
Loved you're reflections on living in the Highlands of Scotland over the past 6 years & some days are more enjoyable than others.
Wishing you a peaceful week ahead, take care, 😊
I just got a fabulous book from Rosie Steer. It’s called „Slow seasons, a creative guide to reconnecting with nature the celtic way.“
Thought you might like it too!
That does sound good thank you! :)
Always a joy to watch your video creations, this one however had the added bonus of stirring my emotions, maybe looking back over time has this affect, which can sometimes be a good thing! I wanted to let you know I really appreciated this video and it has reminded me to blossom where we are planted, not always easy to do, but very worth striving for😊. Thanks for all your hard work Molly.
Aw thank you for your kind comment! :)
Did you have your 'tiny house' built? Or was it already there?
Please can you let me know where you got your drink flask from. I’m looking for one to take on my walks with my little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Thank you.
Its from Hydroflask and its the best one I've ever had so would recommend! You can get one direct from them or they sell it in some UK outdoor stores like Tiso :)
Thank you. That is going on my Christmas List!
Hey Molly. I just wondered if you've ever recieved hate for living here as an English person? I moved here in December and have had lots of horrible comments on my YT videos about being English and moving here, it makes me feel unwanted.... Would love to know your experience xx
Aw I'm sorry to hear that! I've not had much on my RUclips channel but had the odd one in real life. I try not to take it personally!
I’m very sorry to hear that 😔 Definitely not representative of most folks in Highland…but important to remember to make an effort to integrate socially wherever possible by way of quietly offering your time/resources/energy - this goes a long way here. Highland kindness is alive and well, it can just take time to show itself. People here don’t take to over-eager attitudes/loud voices/demands from newcomers for things to change, even if the changes seem sensible and desirable. I’m not suggesting that this is the case in your situation - but this is from my personal observations, having moved up from the Central Belt 10 years back ❤
very
Ah midges and bad weather what more could u want lol!!!
You talk very fast. 🤦🏾♀️
What are you talking about she talks with a normal pace
