If you're considering doing this same hike, please ensure you have the correct equipment and are ready for all weather conditions. While I was lucky with sunny weather, remember that in Scotland, the weather can change quickly and conditions can turn dangerous. Knoydart is a very remote and isolated place and there is no phone network for the majority of the hike.

Ruth, on the subject of hiking equipment, in my part of the world, we insist on taking a hiking staff when going away from a well trodden path. You could twist an ankle or worst still, break a leg. In those cases, a staff with a good piece of thin rope can save your life in a remote location and provide assistance. Also, again in my location, a staff can ward off a snake or some suchlike.

One of the pleasures of Ruth's videos is that she doesn't pretend to be some infallible travel expert. If she steps in a bog, or worries about deer, or has trouble with her cooker, it's all included.

What you were looking at, 23.51 on the video, they are dollop mounds created by a 360 ° digger (usually), it is ground preparation for planting tree seedlings, the seedling is planted on the dollop, it gives the seedling a chance to establish before the grass, bracken or rushes choke the young tree out. Great videos Ruth, thank you.

Thanks for that information!

As a boy I was always told to filter water before drinking it. My science teacher’s brother died after drinking water from a stream. Upon investigating the cause, a dead sheep was found up stream from where he drank. When I saw Ruth drink the water I thought about that, then when she showed us the dead deer later, it just reinforced the point. You can get bottles with filters, definitely better to be safe. Besides the gloom, I never knew about this place-I wonder if a mountain bike can get along that path? If you can catch the weather this would be perfect.

I did this walk with my Fell Terrier about 20 years ago. The bothy was much more basic in those days. Met some guys there who were climbing the local hills, other than that did not see any one on the trail. The first day was good weather, the second day it was very wet. Walked to the pub and had a beer before getting on boat back to Mallaig. I certainly recognise parts of the trail - it was a good trip down memory land.

I made it to Scotland last month for the 1st time and it truly is awe inspiring for sure!

I live in Colorado, US and there were 3 bull elk attacks on pedestrians in the town of Estes Park this month. It is rutting season so they can be aggressive. The State Wildlife Agency is issuing warnings for people to stay as far as possible from wildlife, which I'm sure is common sense to most. Take good care and thank you for sharing your journey.

WOW, Ruth, what a beautiful sight!! Enjoy! Blessings

The "Cape Wrath Trail" isn't a fixed route. If you asked half a dozen walkers what the route is, you might get half a dozen different answers. There are at least two guide books on the walk. The point to remember is that the further North you go, the more remote from habitation, shops, public transport etc. Enjoyed this video. Thanks.

Hi Ruth, to answer the question about whether deer attack people, I live not a million miles away from Knoydart. There was a horrible incident in my village about 10 years ago when a holidaymaker accidentally cornered a stag in the garden of her holiday cottage late at night. The stag charged at her and she was partially disembowelled. She survived, but spent many months in hospital.
