- Hi everyone,
And we’re off.
We started our Scotland tour.
Up to Lancashire - Moss Lane Farm CL for an overnight stop. The drive up was dreadful - heavy rain all the way. But then it cleared up in the afternoon.
Then the next day, across the border to Largs on the Ayrshire coast.
Heavy rain and high winds but what an amazing site at Largs Yacht Haven!
Never been so wet setting up. 💦💦💦💦
Next time it’s a ferry across the Clyde and the weather gets worse!! 💦💦💦💦💦
Hope you enjoy this one 👍👍
Dave and Sue.
Music as always from our friend Serge Pavkin - thank you Serge 💙💛💙💛💙💛

Hi Dave & Sue
Oh yea Scotland tour...here my present
Thank you. That’s very kind of you 👍🙏👍🙏. It was so wet!! 😃😃
Nice trip. Too bad about the rain. I'm glad it cleared up a bit for you. Beautiful views out over the water. Good luck on the rest of your adventure. Have a great day.
Thanks mate.
Finally got back into a decent signal area today.
We’ve had amazing weather for the last week but as I type the rain is battering down on the van 😃. But hey, we are in Scotland 🏴
This is one amazing country!!
Nice to leave the rain behind and go into The Plow for a sunny walk and a dam fine meal as well. I used to visit my parents in Scotland once a month and as soon as you crossed the border the traffic became so much quieter and the rain always heavier too. That looked grim when you pitched up mind and despite a canny site and amazing views, I would have hated all that rain. Fingers crossed you are in for better weather ahead, cheers Alan
We’ve had the weather gods onside today Alan and that’s for sure. Mill pond crossing to Mull and then a hot day with a stunning Sunset.
Can’t believe our luck!!!
The Scottish adventure begins! 😊🙌. And what a wet start! 🌧🙈. Let's hope it is getting it all out the way now so you will have brilliant sunshine in the highlands 🤞. We are glad you made it safe and sound, the rain certainly didn't make for the best driving conditions 😮. Ah they are called Lapwings!! We have been seeing a lot of these birds around over crops locally, and we often stand and watch them, Pete has been calling them 'metal detector birds' because of the crazy beeping sounds they make 😂. Wow what a coastline! Your view from Largs boat yard was something else! Very dramatic! 😊👌 ⛵️. Ooh onwards and upwards! Oban next! We are looking forward to that, adore that area of Scotland. Safe onward travels guys, have fun!
Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Ps Pete says if you get a chance, pop into the Oban whisky distillery, one of the smallest in Scotland, but it packs a punch! The 14 year old is one of Pete's favourite whiskies 🥃
Lol - metal detector birds...love it!
😊🐦@@DonnaTaibossigai
So sorry for the late reply Shell and Pete. We’ve just arrived on Mull. To say we’re blown away by this place would be an understatement!
The Sun was so strong today - what a difference a day makes!!
I messed up on our journey and didn’t get time to stop in Oban. But would love some of the Malt! I think there’s a distillery in Tobermory - will have to try there this week.
Ah yes that Lapwing. They call them Peewits, or the Latin name, Metallica Detectoruss. 🤣🤣
Wish us luck guys, we need to try and get some Sun tan lotion 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
🤣🤣. That’s their Latin name Donna.
@NBNatureTrailvan loving the lapwings Latin name!😂👌. We defo need to stick with you guys, we might actually learn the real names of bird species! 😂🙈. Shame about the Oban stop, but wow! Mull sounds amazing! We have only ever visited the island once on a short day trip from oban, but we remember falling for it that day, it was like travelling back in time. One day, we will go back. In the meantime, enjoy every minute guys! And soak up that Scottish sunshine 🌞
Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Thanks for the shout out guys ❤ Think we got the best of the weather there before you came 😂great vlog and will hopefully bump into you again, hopefully when it's not raining ❤
🤣🤣🤣. Never set up in that sort of weather before 🤣🤣💦💦💦. Lovely to see you two - stay safe and enjoy Scotland. Amazing day yesterday and today looks even better!!
Fantastic coastline, Dave. And although the weather was wet, the sea was especially beautiful and dramatic. I wish you a good continuation of your trip.
Thanks Serge.
Will try and catch up with everything when we’re on Mull 👍👍👍
Every time I watch your videos I think I'm travelling with you such an enjoyment to be with you to and see what you too get up to such a pleasure and honour
Hiya Victor. So sorry for the late reply
Yes it’s been an amazing trip so far. We’ve arrived on the Isle of Mull. Never been here before and it’s just completely stunning!!
Hi Dave & Sue, so the adventure begins, hopefully the weather will improve for you, no matter what the weather you will have a great holiday 😃 looking forward to the next installment,
David & Shell
Thanks guys.
Well after a dreadfully wet start, we finally hit Summer. Up here on the Isle of Mull!! We’ve had two scorching days up here. Can’t believe our luck!!
Such a beautiful place two.
Editing on the go but now sitting outside and trying not to annoy fellow campers!! 😃😃
Hi my dear friend for another great video and thanks for sharing your trip through Scotland. It was beautifully put together. Love the video and love the countryside. Thanks so much for sharing. Beautiful little village.
Hi there and thank you very much 🙏👍🙏👍. The editing not up to our usual standards as we’re holding on the road but we’re glad you enjoyed it.
Scotland has been incredible so far. We’re on the Isle of Mull - and it is absolutely stunning! Hopefully you’ll enjoy the rest of the trip - we are hoping to see some of the island’s iconic wildlife.
The adventure begins... The best trips begin with rain 🤣 plus you will get your books read! Hope the sun comes out for you soon. Great views and clouds. Safe travels. 👍😊
13 nights away - 2 nights of rain. Definitely cannot complain about that. This trip just gets better and better. Largs was lovely if extremely wet 😃😃
Wind and rain, but some fantastic sites and experiences already! Safe crossings and can’t wait to follow the onward journey! 🏴
Thanks Sah. So looking forward to Mull and Ardnamurchan 👍👍
Hello Dave and Sue, what a lovely pub and meal. Shame the weather turned rainy and put an end to your walk. So lovely to see the water and the boats. Safe journey, fingers crossed for better weather xx Julie and Tony xx
Thanks guys. We definitely had better weather today. In fact it’s been a day to remember- no wind and very warm. Sun cream was out!!
And the Sunset was incredible!
We feel so lucky that we’ve chosen to do this - one of those days that make up for all the rubbish weather 😃😃
Hope you guys had an amazing Norfolk trip. 👍👍
What’s a bit of wet weather when you’re out and about exploring new places, great facilities on the sites, and what view over the water at Largs, super.
All the best,
Ivor
It’s was great site mate. Wonderful views even in the rain. Sorry for late reply been out of signal. Will try to catch up when back on line properly.
Hope the weather improves. There is a song about the weather up here. "Things can only get wetter" I think it is called. Enjoy Mull.
🤣🤣🤣. That’s brilliant Dave. My kids loved that when I told them.
However, today has been Sun Tan Lotion weather. What a difference a day makes.
Mill pond crossing and wonderful site.
Already blown away - and an incredible Sunset.
Captured some good wildlife too 👍👍
Oh, poor Lapwing, it definitely sounds distressed. Hopefully she can find a safer place to nest. Good idea bringing some books to read while having some downtime. Wow, the disposal/recycling is pretty impressive. Looks like a fun start despite the rain!
It’s been a fun start Donna. But we’re moving all the time at the moment so apologies for not catching up with everything. We finally arrived on the Isle of Mull today and it’s blown us away!
Such natural beauty, a day to remember and what a difference a day makes!!!
Wow that’s a lot of rain! Despite of that it looks like a beautiful area and I’m glad you were still able to get out on your walk! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for watching.
We’ve had an incredible trip so far!! The bad weather has suddenly turned. And today was a day to remember! We watched an incredible Sunset tonight too.
Hopefully it will continue!
Nice video great sharing friend 14:22
Thank you - you’re very kind 🙏🙏👍👍🙏🙏
Wow, what a lovely CL Moss Lane Farm is! Will certainly add that to my list of CL to visit if in the area. I have a friend who often goes to Largs, I can now see the appeal. Looking forward to the next one, safe travels.
Cheers Chris. Yep Miss Lane Farm was in a lovely location. And Largs was beautiful if a tad wet!! 😃
No, send that bad weather away. Been here two weeks and not seen any rain yet and may it stay that way. Looking forward to seeing what you think of the Isle of Mull. Great video
Oh my goodness Cara. Mull has blown us away today. A mill pond crossing and then a hot day and an amazing Sunset back across to the mainland.
A day to remember. I think you will love it here!!
Nice video Fave & Sue 👍
Thanks Arnstein. 🙏👍🙏👍
Welcome to Scotland with all the rain. At least it makes you feel at home. I'm actually staying in Largs for a night or 2 early next month. You always seem to drop lucky with the pubs tho. Look forward to seeing where you get to. Love Scotland 🙂
You’ll enjoy Largs Paul. Lovely little place - what we could see of it through the weather 🤣🤣
Loving Mull already. It’s incredibly beautiful!!
it is beautiful place
It really is. We just loved these sites!!
An adventure to Scotland Dave and a wet one at that.Shame about that lapwing. Largs looked nice but better when the sun's out, I'm sure
Sorry for the late reply Rob and apologies for getting behind with vids. We’re moving each day and struggling to keep up with everyone.
But today has been one of those good days. The ones you remember. Stunning location, stunning views and then a stunning Sunset.
What a difference a day makes!!
Great video. Fidden Farm on the Ross of Mull is a great site also.cheers Rusty Ade
We have to get there next time. Everyone says how amazing that is. We will do it. But everywhere seems incredible!!! Just got buzzed by a Sea Eagle!!
Great campground; except they don’t have enough trash bins for the number of slips they have. Restaurant sounded great. Of course you can’t get away from the rain can you? But the waterfront looks so nice. Have a fun trip.
Thanks so much guys.
We got away from the rain! Today has been a day to remember. A mill pond crossing to the Isle of Mull and it’s blown us away. Warm Sun all day with views back to the mainland and a Sunset which we won’t forget in a hurry.
What a difference a day makes!!
Hope you guys are doing well 👍👍👍
Nice little clips of your journey so far. Hopefully the weather improves during the course of your Scotland trip, lol.
Thanks Jay.
Oh it has - today has been a day to remember
An amazing Warm and Sunny day and the views are incredible.
Hopefully we will be able to see Otters and Eagles on this trip.
Sue, you are the eternal optimist!! lol Unlikely!! LOL Looks like the skies did clear up...a little...a tiny bit...maybe just for a brief period of time!? lol Sometimes those cloudy views along the shoreline can be the best! But rain can, and has a way of putting a damper of things. Hope you enjoy a few better days ahead anyway! Keep smiling as it's all a great adventure!!
Well what a difference a day makes Bruce.
We had a mill pond crossing to Mull. And it’s been Sun Cream weather today.
Absolutely stunning.
And we just watched a Sunset that has blown us both away!!
So glad we’ve done this Bruce. I’m trying not to appear smug 🤣🤣🤣
No doubt it will 💦💦💦💦 tomorrow!!
That was great Dave. I must admit I’m sick of saying how much I hate this weather - BUT I DO 😠
Really sad to see that poor lapwing, what a shame 😢
I’ll give your daughter a sub 👍
Thanks so much Phil. 🙏🙏🙏
Well today was one of those days you don’t forget in a hurry. What a difference a day makes.
A mill pond crossing to Mull and then warm Sun all day.
A Sunset across the mountains and Sea that I’ll not forget in a hurry!!
Me - Smug.
Sue - doesn’t like humble pie. 😃😃
Great vlog guys. Looked a good place to pitch up. Bit wet at Largs eh. Same old scotland 😉🌧️🌂
🤣. But not the last three days Kev. It’s been stunning!! Lovin Mull. Becoming our favourite place!!
Fingers crossed the weather gets better although I am not promising anything, this has been the wettest time I can remember for a long time.. take care and enjoy your trip xx
Thanks so much Lindsay. Today has been one of those days to remember. What a difference a day makes.
A mill pond crossing to Mull, and then we’ve been scrabbling to find the Sun Tan lotion!!
This just may have been our best day yet in the van. The site is gorgeous - we feel so lucky today!
The Lapwings were heartbreaking 😢
Hope the weather improves for you. Scotland is stunning tho no matter the weather. Safe travels 😊x
Couldn’t work out what was happening at first Maria. As we walked out they were ploughing that field - seemed really late in the year. Then we saw the Lapwing 😨😨. I’ve never seen that before.
We’re lovin it up here so far. Going to Mull today and 🤞🤞 to see \ film Otters maybe even Eagles. 🤞🤞
@@NBNatureTrailvan Enjoy, not envious at all, nope lol 😂 x
@@FreeBirdUKVanLife 😃.
Love this video! 😊
Thanks so much. You’re very kind 🙏👍🙏👍
It’s not bad weather….its bad clothing (apparently) 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Our clothing is great but it didn’t make any difference - glug 🤣🤣
But today on Mull made up for it - just a complete stunner and an incredible Sunset.
Hope you guys are doing well Cassie and Derren. 👍👍
