Dodgy up top. I've been caught in a whiteout in Glen Coe, you dont want to be moving about in those conditions. Great pics Murray. 26th April is coming, I'm climbing Ben A'an that morning (where else) - regards John
Hi Murray, you are certainly the best thing on my television,you put all the main television documentary's to shame ,your hard work is much appreciated ,7 pm Wednesday is the highlight of the week again stay safe Jim
The still on 9:10 is fantastic. Colours and contrast are as eye-catching as anything in Stainforths book. :-). Love the videos. Great to see new content. Missed Scotland this Winter . All the best from Dublin.
Thank you Murray for sharing that adventure, the views and your image captures are spectacular!! I went to the Isle of Sky back in October 2018, the weather was not kind at all, in 4 days we didn't see the sun once. Drove up to the Neist Point light house. ( precarious road indeed! I didn't get any image I was hoping for due to the rain, wind ++ , so disappointed after traveling from Sydney Australia with great expectations. One day I will return before time run's out (Aged 66yo) Alway love your VLOGS. Cheers!
Cheers for showing this breathtaking footage, absolutely spectacular. Thanks once again for the time and effort you put in. We are so lucky we can just sit and be enthralled by it
Skye IS the most beautiful island I've ever visited ...... i did a cycle tour a few years ago in February...... i got caught up the trotternish ridge in a very violent storm 80-90 mph winds ..... ended up camping in the forest just below the old Man ...... i still believe to this day i was lucky to leave the island alive ..... !! Love this video sir and i Love Skye ...... photos never truly do it justice but your photos come very close ..... Braw ❣️🤜🙏
Excellent cinematography, capturing the mountains at their very best BUT ... you wouldn’t bump into me on that ridge on a day like that... no no no no... 🏔👊
the summer before the first lockdown me and my family walked up the cuillins w e were going to go from a campsite near a loch and walk up the side but the car park was full so we walked from the fairy pools, they were beautiful but it was os busy sp we moved on pretty quickly, around where the first scree slope started there was only us around which was amazing, we carried on up to around 3/4 of the way up but sadly had to go back because it was getting late, we still haven't had a chance to get to the top yet as we're in britain so havent gone to scotland since the start of first lockdown, and its my dream to one day reach the summit.
Fantastic ! These films are very relaxing to watch. Scotland's Mountains channel should be prescribed on the NHS! Looking forward to my next dose! Thank you.
I’m reasonably familiar with Skye and your original video inspired me to head up this mountain on Christmas Day 2019. It was a daunting sight looking up there on my own with the summit shrouded in mist. I turned back about 100m from where you put your crampons on as I was a bit pushed for time. Would love to go back one day and gain the summit. Thanks for the re-edit Murray. I’m feeling pretty low at the moment but once again your videos continue to inspire 🙏🏻. ATB - Dave
Wednesday 7pms are back!! 😁 Another few weeks and we're free to roam again. Need to get a few winter pounds off first lol. Good to see you back. Martin.
Just back in from the Netherlands sitting in my truck down in ENGLANDSHIRE & was on the edge of my seat as you were slowly making you’re way to the summit 🙈🙈😂😂😂🏴🏴🏴 absolutely phenomenal footage it just puts a big smile on my face watching how stunning & I mean stunning that Scotland is keep up what you do best & stay safe thank you :-)👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
The photographs are some of the best I've ever seen!! Absolutely stunning images..as for that knife edge ridge well the views on this video will be the only ones I'll be seeing,definitely beyond me & my capabilities.. terrifying to say the least 😁
Some amazing footage there, thanks for sharing! My first experience on Skye was up the Black Cuillin, where it was dry on one side of the mountain, then turning a corner to come on to the South side it was snowing heavily! All the seasons, all at once.
great to have you back. what a great day to be on the hill, some fantastic photos and the views on the video. looking forward to many many more videos.ATB and thanks for sharing
Those pictures of Sgurr nan Gillean took me back to my trip last Sept, no snow but an awesome place. LOVE Skye. Great edit indeed Thanks again for some armchair mountaineering.
Fabulas, thanks Murray for a great wee video. Your videos have kept me going during these tricky times. You're a real pro. The photography, and the canny way you go about your adventures is admirable. Glencoe is my place for adventures being fairly close to home, but just out of reach just now. Only a couple more weeks and l shall be off 😃 Thanks again and stay safe A 💖
Another fine editors cut Murray. Winter conditions can transform a mountain environment from stunningly beautiful with the weather you had in the morning to a bit of nerves once the weather closes in as it did. Trust your hill skill and your compass but as the scouts say be prepared for the conditions the winter can throw at you. Planning a few days in Skye in May and looking forward to it. The Garbh Beinn to Blabhein ridge via Clach Glas is on the cards for this summer as well. Absolutely love the Cuillins and luckily they are reasonably close to hand.
I've enjoyed everyone of your videos Murray! But this one.....WOW! SPECTACULAR!!!👊👏👏👏👏 Have you ever thought about taking rookies like myself, out on wild camps, so we can gain experience from experts like you? I for one would love that, and would be willing to pay you, or a charity of your choice! Just a thought! Keep them coming please!👍
This is one of your best Murray. In a strange way that desire to get to the summit in deteriorating conditions is similar to the experiences I used to have scuba diving in the Red Sea. On one occasion I was coming to the end of a dive where Hammerheads (deep sharks) are commonly spotted. We frustratingly had not seen any then we spotted them. I dived down to 30m to photograph them and realised that I only had just enough air to do my stops and safety at the end. Scared the hell out of me. Sometimes we just have resist that urge to get that golden shot. Brilliant footage. I have shared among my friends. Many thanks :-)
Absolutely stunning place the Isle of Skye is. The blue 🔵 skies remind me of many great days spent there. Fabulous video Murray, the time when we can get back out on the mountains is getting closer. Stay safe & I look forward to watching your next adventures 🌍👍👏✅
Fantastic Murray, one of the best videos yet. Also enjoyed the change in music and the sound effect! I've climbed Sgurr Alasdair with great views but not a patch on what I just watched. My regards
Absolutely stunning 😍 can’t describe in words. So true Scottish weather is so unpredictable could change at any time. Always need extra care and should give some respect to weather
Watched the original version at the weekend so really good to see it revamped. You make it look easy Murray but that was a scary one on the summit ridge! You are still the best thing on RUclips mate.
As flatlander from Holland I an aware of the weather in the Mountains when I am hiking. Always take care of rain gear and so. Nice re-edited film Murray.
Missed your video’s, good to see you back, something to look forward to on Wednesday night!! That was fab Murray, can’t wait to get back out an explore 👍
Thanks Amanda - hope you enjoy the videos in the coming weeks and also you enjoy the outdoors when you can get back out :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Absolutely stunning footage while the sun was out. But that ridge in the snow, I was getting twitchy just watching. Does your wife watch your videos Murray and tell you off. Anyway, great 1at Wednesday vlog for the year and here's to many more. As always Stay safe Murray. ATB.
Very interesting and enjoyable film with some superb photography. Loved your graphics too - never seen them done like that before. Agree, the weather up here is quite unpredictable and even the best weather forecasters get it wrong. Prepare for the worst, enjoy the best has always been my motto !
Lovely re-edit Murray, I'd love to see you add some navigation material to your videos in the future - it'd help folk who haven't necessarily experienced those challenging conditions :) ATB
Skye is an incredible place for sure - what a video! Even after all these years it still amazes me how much the weather can change in a few hours on the hills.
Can’t wait to go back to Skye :) one of the places I want to head back to (along with many others I expect :)) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Hi Murray, great to have you back. Amazing day out and quite challenging . Skye is on my list this year and cannot wait to start. Really like the new animation at the start of the vlog.
Wow. When you are on top of mountains it really looks unreal and a fantastic awe about it. I stand and stare for ages but haven't been on top in snow like you. There is still time. Lol. Thanks Steve
Great to see you back Murray, and this video is possibly my favourite so far, partly because I've been there in similar conditions and it brought back vivid memories, (mainly of sweating cursing and clanging!). My partner declined to come the last 100 metres, so I'll certainly be returning one day. Such a brilliant hill and you captured it brilliantly.
It's good to see you back Murray. I was relieved to find out that you are safe and well. I know from your 'return' video you were wary about putting things out during lockdown, and I well appreciate those sensitivities. But for me, your videos are a real highlight. I admire your work greatly, mostly because you express, time after time, your love of the mountains and take us into this world. I long to head back up to Scotland. My last visit in October 2019 took me to Skye, walking and camping on the Trotternish Ridge, and this video spoke so loudly of the majesty of these mountains and the risks that can accompany them. Thank you again.
That last bit on the summit was pretty eerie! Such clear footage and the drone shots really show the whole picture. Great video as always ..take care ❤️ 🇨🇦
If I've learned anything from living and hiking in Scotland it's to never trust the weather forecast and always be prepared for the worst.
What outstanding photos! You really should be marketing them in some form.
This. would love to buy some.
Amazing....i am coming over this summer.
Dodgy up top. I've been caught in a whiteout in Glen Coe, you dont want to be moving about in those conditions. Great pics Murray. 26th April is coming, I'm climbing Ben A'an that morning (where else) - regards John

Indeed - if memory serves me right mine was going alright teetering along that ridge !! Lol
Catch up soon Ray 👍
@@ScotlandsMountains I'm surprised we didn't hear it squeaking on the video!
Some amazing footage there, thanks for sharing! My first experience on Skye was up the Black Cuillin, where it was dry on one side of the mountain, then turning a corner to come on to the South side it was snowing heavily! All the seasons, all at once.
They are some very intimidating weather conditions! I understand now how people can get lost, when walking up those hills. 😱🤙😎👊
What a wonderful place, thank you for taking me there. Such beautiful photography.
Really enjoyed that one. In particular I thought the photographs were stunning.... very much reminded me of the great Colin Prior! :-)
Fantastic footage murray🤩 the stunning landscape of the cullins in winter just awesome 👌
Great photography Murray, you certainly made the most of the opportunity 👏
Nerves of Steel 😎 And what a superb day 👍👍
" Awesome Coverage " Murray " BRAVO " Scotland Is So Magical / THANK'S MURRAY /
Thank you for sharing that stunning footage. Good to see the wonderful Sligachan hotel as well, hope you enjoyed a malt or two after that adventure!
Brilliant video Murray. My wife and I moved up to Skye 20 months ago and it still takes my breath away every day.
great to have you back. what a great day to be on the hill, some fantastic photos and the views on the video. looking forward to many many more videos.ATB and thanks for sharing
Superb, some really stunning pics Murray but that ridge return in that blizzard must have been dicey.
I tuned it just right - another hour later and would’ve turned around for sure 👍
Loved this. That view @9:13 is absolutely beautiful.
Those pictures of Sgurr nan Gillean took me back to my trip last Sept, no snow but an awesome place. LOVE Skye. Great edit indeed Thanks again for some armchair mountaineering.
Thanks Murray, inspirational video. Great to see you back. If I was 20 years younger!

Wonderful! I can't imagine that final traverse being an ' easy scramble' any time of the year, but thank you for showing us the way.
A cool head and experience required here Murray, .... I woulda freaked out !! 😬
Outstanding photo/videography, nice one Murray, great to see you back. atb
Thanks to this video I now know that the Runrig song "Nightfall on Marsco" was referring to a mountain on Skye.
Good too see you back, winter just gone has had a lot of days like this, but mainly sunny days 😃 soon you can be back up here in the highlands 🤞
That looked bloody amazing.! Wow.
Did td gap and ridge 2015. An experience you never forget
You make some of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. If the Scottish tourist board is bot paying you or using your vids they should be!
Really good vid. Well above my mountain skills but great to see what can be done. Good to have you back.
Unbelievable Murray..... loved that.. what an experience that must have been. Anther awesome video. Pleased you are back sir 👍🏴👍
Wonderful and inspiring - thanks so much for sharing!
What an absolutely incredible adventure this was! the Cuillins look majestic with a winter coat on them!
This is pure class Murray thanks, great to see what a climb

I wonder, does your wife ever watch your videos and say “You did what?!?”. I know my missus would! 😄
That last bit on the summit was pretty eerie!
Such clear footage and the drone shots really show the whole picture.
Great video as always ..take care ❤️ 🇨🇦
Some of those pictures are almost other-worldy, Murray. Phenomenal ascent and another fascinating video. Hope to see more soon my friend. God bless 🙏
