Been to Scotland 3 times but haven't been since 1987. Planning a trip to first time trip to ireland this summer but damnit you guys are making me long for Scotland!
Hari OM Oh my heart is thumping - you know how I love that wee corner of this wide and Bonny Land... but it aches too at the thought you are taking off and away from it! I'll still be loving watching and sharing your travels... and sometimes, the best way to appreciate what one has is to go in search of other... This was a stoater of a vid showcasing how this wee country can hold its head high. See you next week young uns! YAM xx
Thank you Yam! ❤️ We just know that we will be missing Scotland after a week or two and will be so happy to get home again haha excited for some adventures further afield!
Great video as always! Well done Gemma emptying the loo! Very proud of your book about our homeland! Good luck with the next one. Would you ever collaborate with other vanlifers in the future? Just wondering. Safe travels!
Haha thank you 😂 We definitely want to do that this year! Just so hard as we have been on a proper schedule with different books to research up until now. Going forward we want to do a lot more of that though 😁
Hi Gemma Campbell,great and very interesting blog your the best bloggers out there ,so much looking forward to your next exciting venture,so pleased you are going to be writing another book to be asked yo write it is fantastic,what beautiful scenery and beaches the water was so clear unbelievable,till next time take care keep yourself safe,John 🌺🌸🌹🌷🌞👍👏🙏🤗💭💭😜
I remember camping in my tent at the bealach and woke up to a white out. I had to crawl down at 5mph towards Applecross . I passed the gritter who was going up. He must have wondered where I had come from in my wee Peugeot 208.
Hi guys re your surf board attachment aluminess in the states have brackets that are quite slimline and fold against the side of the van when not in use and take up no more room that this width of your wing mirrors when in use check them out and see if you can get something made in the uk
Stunning scenery and beautiful seas today guys, the drone filming adds spectacular viewing & perspective, a real good advert for the highlands! Thank you. Dave.
Some magic acts don't need things like rabbits and hats. The show that Scotland puts on is purely magical and has a stage all its own. No better presenters than you two either. I had legit chills from those final scenes. Unreal. I felt a wistfulness in this video too...but stoked for the next journey. And honestly I can't venture a guess as to where the destination is (haven't peeked on your IG, yet! hehe)
Hi both, I think Scotland should be one of the seven wonders if the world as its just breathtaking. I know now why I fell in love with scotland and Highlands on my first visit. 😍
When I lived on the Black Isle I took many trips up the Bealach Na Ba and took many photos from the summit. This drive always inspired me to do it again and again in all seasons. Just once I went to Applecross. In those days it was photos and a video road trip.
great video guys, gutted I didn’t get to meet you in Uig! Safe travels wherever you go to next and can’t wait for the next vid. take care G&C, all the best. mark
Thanks Mark! I know, I'm sorry we couldn't swing by. This trip has honestly been such a whirlwind as we tried to hit our deadline before we left the country. Will be back up that way in future I am sure!
i did belach na ba on 17th june at 6am, it was soo misty and raining i couldnt see nothing, was hoping for that view, was so tempted to return in the evening as it was clear skies but headed to isle of skye instead
Such a beautiful trip. Sadly is still on the bucket list. Kids won us over and heading foreign this year after many years of no trip, Scotland will be ticked off one day. Thanks for showing us.
When we did the NC500 it started pouring for three straight days when we arrived at Gairloch going anti clockwise and we gave up and headed south. Bealach na Ba is unfinished business and your drone work was spectacular. I am just struggling with the notion of being excited at leaving Scotland. I spend all my time between visits wanting to be back. (last there in May and back in August/September!)
Aw I feel you with the rain 😂 that’s one of the reasons haha we just want dependable weather and some unknown again! Distance always makes the heart grow fonder though and I know we will be desperate to return soon enough 😁
I am sorting out my nc500 trip right now,( I go in August). For some reason I have accrued 3 copies of your book over the last few weeks. It is great but I still have no idea how I have ended up with three of them🤔😁. All the best and thanks for the videos.
Can you specify where the Lairg viewpoint is? I tried to look it up, but came up with multiple results, none of them seeming to be the right one. I loved the views you shared :)
I think I may have made the name up 😂 if you continue north past the turn off to achmelvich (coming from lochinver) then you will see it in your left after about 5 mins
We're so lucky in the GB to have 4 great home nations so many beautiful locations! Scotland just stunning! really enjoyed your vids travelling around there! Looking forward to your next adventure!👌👍
Hellow from ireland your vids are great wat do you guys use for the midges the wee feckers we were on skye last week and we were eat alive we were told Avon skin so soft it did not work
Thank you 😁 well there isnt much I can recommend for midges haha some sprays such as Avon Skin so Soft and a good midge net to put over your head, but nothing really works apart from hiding 😂
Scotland is just amazing and Skye has stolen my heart, each time I go back I feel that I’ve come home. I won’t be able to make it back until autumn and it feels like an eternity. Good luck with your future travels
The views are sensational. Question: are the roads you travel dual direction and some one-ways only? In the last part of this video the road seemed not wide enough for 2 vehicles .
Aren't they just?! ❤️ yeah in the highlands the roads switch between two-way and single track with passing places as there is not much traffic so you don't meet anyone often 😊

Scotland is just the prettiest wee country in the world ❤️
Ain’t it just 😁😁

Thanks Dougie! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm gettin' a little tired of Gemma smashing my face. ; - ) Another nice video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Bonny Scotland 🏴 she never fails to impress with her beauty.
So very true 😁
Going to miss your Scotland travels xxx😢
We will be back soon 😁
I wish I could get pies in Toronto canada, first tried them in UK what a fabulous alternative to burgers!
Aw they are so tasty! Best I have had since Australia, they are mad about pies over there!
This brought back so many great memories of our recent honeymoon,
Aw so glad! What a beautiful place to honeymoon!
We love a new adventure. When one door closes, another opens 🎉
For sure 😁
Thanks, for the shout-out, was lovely to meet you both! Graham & Andrea x
Aw it was so lovely to meet you Andrea! Thanks again 😁 Hope you enjoyed your trip!

The expawers has a very rigid blow up paddle board with folded down compact.. Sure it could be used as a surf board
Happy Travels
Very interesting! That would definitely help us in the van haha
They are on you tube 😀

Just looking and there are vertical racks available for the rear of motorhomes , take bikes as well
Yeah we had thought of that but are paranoid about theft haha roof would be harder to steal from

Wow what an experience! haha that is definitely offgrid camping
So stunning that scenery ! Amazing . Look forward to hearing your exciting news !
Aw so glad you enjoyed it 😁 Cant wait to share it tonight!

That sounds fantastic! Will need to look into this 😁
Great video, scotland is for sure in my bucket list for travel, love your channel
thank you 😁

Absolutely right! We do love it and are always amazing 😊❤️
Thank you Gemma and Campbell for your videos i have really enjoyed them. Sad to hear its ur last video of the highlands. Take care.
Thanks James! Really appreciate the support 😊
Another great video - just beautiful - how lucky are we to live here. Was a pleasure to meet you in Aldi car park the other day! Have a great trip.
Such a pleasure to meet you too 😁 take care!
Love you both. Your enthusiasm for life really cheers me up. Your videos are exceptional. Well done.
Aw cheers Craig! 😁
Beautiful!

You need to get so lucky to see it in all of its glory haha we didnt get to see it last time either but got lucky this time 😁
Such a beautiful trip. Sadly is still on the bucket list. Kids won us over and heading foreign this year after many years of no trip, Scotland will be ticked off one day. Thanks for showing us.
You will need to get up here one day soon then 😁
@@highlands2hammocks foreign holiday got the better of us. But yes one day for sure.

That’s strange 😂😂 ah well, be sure to give them out to friends and tell them to subscribe too 😜
You can hook the surfboard to the roof in the inside maybe
Had thought about that, it would just limit the light we get from the sunroof and also would get water everywhere inside the van 😞
Fab video guys. X
Thank you 😁

Could not agree more, Britain really is great! As you travel around it, you have got to marvel at the diverse sights and scenery.
Absolutely! So much to be seen 😁
Hellow from ireland your vids are great wat do you guys use for the midges the wee feckers we were on skye last week and we were eat alive we were told Avon skin so soft it did not work
Thank you 😁 well there isnt much I can recommend for midges haha some sprays such as Avon Skin so Soft and a good midge net to put over your head, but nothing really works apart from hiding 😂
Magic 😎eps when you get the beach ⛱ to yourself little bit paradise
Definitely a lucky night out when that happens!
Scotland is just amazing and Skye has stolen my heart, each time I go back I feel that I’ve come home. I won’t be able to make it back until autumn and it feels like an eternity.
Good luck with your future travels
I absolutely agree with you! Every time we go back it’s amazing 😁❤️ hope you have a fantastic trip!
Not being a surfer and I don't know how long a board is, but could you fit 2 boards on a bike rack on the rear of the motorhome
It’s about 8ft we use 😊
The views are sensational. Question: are the roads you travel dual direction and some one-ways only? In the last part of this video the road seemed not wide enough for 2 vehicles .
Aren't they just?! ❤️ yeah in the highlands the roads switch between two-way and single track with passing places as there is not much traffic so you don't meet anyone often 😊
👍👍👍
😁😁
Are you going on the Jacobite Steam Train?
We are indeed! Doing that tomorrow and can’t wait 😁
Enjoy. I’ve never been able to get tickets.
💖💖💖💖💖
😁
Can you get inflatable boards?
Never heard of inflatable surfboards but that would be a brilliant option if true 😁
@@highlands2hammocks Ive no idea really, just throwing suggestions out there :)
Gemma looks far too glamorous in the little black dress & sunglasses to empty the toilet!!
Haha I would have to agree but it’s always funny 😜
oh no gloves on naughty especially emptying poo xx
Haha yeah we probably should 😂
