My friend and I spent 3 nights on Rum, the weather was good so we walked west and spent the first night in "Guirdil" where we met a lovely English Women who was travelling alone. She made us very welcome making us tea, as we changed out of our wet gear, we had a lovely night with Beer and Malt Whisky that allowed Caroline had a great sleep. Tthe following day we still had good dry weather for the first 4 hours and the the rain came. We made our way back to "Kinloch" where we made lunch in the village hall. We decided to push an other 7 miles to "Dibidil" as we had another 2 days before the ferry on to "Muck" and then to "Eigg". We reached "Dibidil" Knackered but proud that we had walked 15 miles over exremely rough terrainto our destination. The following day Caroline appeared at at "Dibidil" with a bottle of the malt "Ardmore" which she bought in the shop in Kinloch. An incredible trip. Going into our 60's now we have slept in 76 bothies. MBA and NON MBA, all over Scotland and the North of England.😄
This sounds like a great time. Everyone I met on Rum was lovely too. That's a fair amount of bothies! I'm only at the start of my tours of them. Are there any you'd recommend in particular? And any seasons you'd recommend them in?
Ahh! Fantastic! I was there when the MOs from the MBA put it up! I've even got a wee photo of the photo as it felt like an important moment. One of my favourite places to be
Great follow up vid, stunning place and now in my top five got to visit sites mainly for the wildlife ,Rum has been on my hit list for years keep finding myself going to Norway or Sweden now i've realised again that is literally on the doorstep and no carbon from flights. Thanks, good info and stunning filming I have a feeling your channel is going to grow rapidly.
The wildlife is amazing. I've got a lot of wildlife footage that is there for another video and it's one of the main reasons I visited. Norway and Sweden sound tremendous and I'd certainly have them on my list of places to visit. Thank you for the kind words. 😊
I'm off here in March/April. Was already sold on the trip but now I am buzzing! Great video Tony.
Thanks, Big Man. Wish I'd been into video and photography as much when we went to Over Phawhope. Your skills would have been terribly cinematic.

beautiful beautiful beautiful thank you so much- planning a trip here and this video couldn't have been better guidance!
So glad it was helpful. This is probably my favourite video I've made on them and my favourite bothy too. Hope you have a lovely trip!
Really enjoy your videos. Very informative and they make me want to explore the places you visit.
Ah, thanks very much. They're great wee places and making videos sometimes gives me the energy to explore - glad you enjoy them
Loved this video. My ancestors (the Macdonalds) are the photo on the wall in Guirdil bothy! 😄

you do a fantastic job showing these places, great video and story....
Thank you very much! They're tremendous fun to visit and so rich in character and history. It'd be a shame not to share.

Thank you very much! Great fun to make, quite fun to edit, and lovely to look back on (especially as I lie awake at 1.24am in a bothy right now).
