This is my second time in Scotland, I've been here 14 years. I say it's my second time because the second time I visited where I live now I never went home. I'm from the NW of England originally, a small, dense, flat, over populated crime ridden hell hole. Basically the complete opposite of where I live now. I live roughly 2 hours away from where you filmed this video in a small village surrounded my mountains and lochs and nothing but openness, yet I work in a city 30 mins drive away. I have that option to live away from where I work and it's perfect. Like you I have Scottish roots way way back though, but I always feel like I should have been born Scottish. I am more proud to be in Scotland and this amazing country than I am to be from England. I will never live in England ever again. Scotland has everything I need and more. This is the first video of yours I've seen and I've actually paused it 4 minutes in to write this but what I will say is Scotland has much more to offer if you have the time to explore. As beautiful as Glen Coe is, there are places in Scotland that will leave you utterly speechless. Enjoy it, come back, explore. Everyone is welcome.

Scottish people are way more welcoming. They greet people every day. A story of when it was just my hubby and I.we went camping in Ayre once. It was a small commercial place. Where the old railway lines used to run. We pitched up opposite an elderly man who was local. We drove him up the the bar on site. Had a friendly chat with him. He was so grateful for our hospitality. He said that it tradition in Scotland to return a favour. The next morning he asked us for a coffee at his tent. They are so kind and considerate. What lovely people.

Scotland is simply true and authentic. This country stole my soul & heart 12 years ago. Can’t help falling in love with this amazing country.

Fantastic. I walked the West Highland Way back in 2010 and the Great Glenn Way in 2011. I immediately fell in love with Scotland. I now mainly stay in the Cairngorms (Nethy Bridge) with my two dogs (Edwin and April) - the drive from my home in Manchester is worth it! The remoteness is addictive, almost spiritual. There are, I guess, very few places left in the UK where you can feel truly alone. Loved your film, truly inspiring, thanks.

I live in Scotland and to stop myself for taking the sheer beauty of this place for granted, I go touring on my bike whenever I can to refresh the soul, sitting in my tent (usually on a beach) phone off, no internet, I usually shed a tear.. Scotland is awesome 😉😉

You're right. There's a something about Glencoe that's hard to describe. Its' energy is beautiful, sad and timeless. Personally, I think it's connected to the massacre. Welcome home Henry.

Three sisters! One of the most beautiful places on earth!

I took my four years old grandson. We were walking in the Highlands and as we turned a corner to a new, unexpected view, he gasped and tears just flowed. He felt overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of it all. It reminded me of train journeys when at a certain point, everyone would go silent, look out of the windows which opened then, and again, even grown men had tears in their eyes.

Och son you’ve jist come hame!

Love exactly what you are doing, don't overthink it. I feel the same way about the Highlands. SCOTLAND is my favorite place on earth. I am Scottish, but not born there. Want to move there for good someday soon

I traveled through Europe when I was young and now live near the Blue Ridge Mountains and it reminds me of Scotland -always brings me to tears! There is just something imprinted upon my soul (ancestral-my ancestors were from Scotland and Ireland) that calls me to these places. The first time I heard bagpipes I had the same reaction. It was almost more than I could bear! I never tire of seeing the highlands and lowlands, the mountains, the atmosphere, the people. These are my people, this is my home away from home!

My father was Scottish, but I spent the first seven years of my life in parts of England & Germany (army life). The rest of my childhood was spent in the north Highlands where his family came from. At 18, I left home and only returned for occasional visits until eight years ago when my husband and I decided to move here permanently. It definitely calls to your soul. My husband works away a lot (in London) but loves coming back. He always says it looks like everything goes Widescreen!

Yo Henry, that was magic man. The Highlands always get me aswell man. It's not about you being half Scottish dude why it hits you how it hits you, well maybe slightly. I'm Scottish and from Edinburgh. The Highlands and especially Skye has this intangible energy about it that you don't find anywhere else. You cant fully describe it as words don't really work, you know what it is as you feel it.

I always thought Canada has a more other worldly pristine kind of beauty and Scotland feels more of a rough and rugged type of beauty. Both spectacular in in their own way. If I didn't live in Scotland, Canada is most definitely where I'd be.

Nice vid!! I moved away from Scotland 28 years ago but I still go back at least once a year (fly fishing heaven), I'll be moving back over with my lovely German wife in 4 years when we retire.you can take the man out of Scotland but you can't take Scotland out of the man.

Glencoe has a dark history and it hangs heavy in the Glen! It a very emotional place!

I stop every time I go thru the Glen, and can certainly appreciate the man's sense of overpowerment. It never looks the same twice - probably due to weather - but has a certain aura to it that smacks you hard. Words do not do it justice. Great video Henry.

It is that Lance.. Not many visit Glencoe, and are not affected..

It's called passion mate. You are living the dream. The earth beckons and you are answering its call with your camera in hand.....and it is just loving you in return for appreciating its natural raw beauty.

If you are in Scotland and feel a connection then happy to call you Scottish, it's not a exclusive club

Scot here, always said the same thing to non-natives too. The people here have to be of the most welcoming in the world.

If everyone can be Scottish then no one is Scottish, as being Scottish would be meaningless. For example, and it ties into what I was saying previously , if everyone got a gold medal for participation, even if they came 8th, 9th, 10th or so on, then the symbol of that gold medal becomes meaningless. It is the rarity and exclusivity of a said concept, or in this case national identity, that makes it precious, sacred and highly cherished. Yes, non-natives can become Scottish after many generations of their descendants having, through the accumulation of their actions and deeds, pledged themselves to the Scottish nation in body and soul - shedding blood, sweat and tears in maintaining our nations greatness and defending it, and showing themselves as the upmost allies. The sacred idea of nation is different from the modern and fleeting concept of country; which is a ridiculous concept and word, in my opinion. Nation comes from a Latin word ‘Natio’ meaning tribe, kin or family. Sam Francis gives a succinct definition of nation - ‘Every real nation is a people of a common blood and descended from the same ancestors. A nation - from the Latin word meaning to be born - can have no other meaning’. Therefore, this facile argument of ‘They have a British/Scottish passport so therefore...’ or ‘they were born here so therefore...’ falls out of the classical and, may I add, most rational definition of nation or nationhood. Therefore, healthy exclusivity is what gives a nation and its people it’s meaning, it’s purpose and it’s pride. However, do not conflate healthy exclusivity - maintaining one’s nation’s sovereignty, defending one’s nation’s borders, having a strict line on who and who can not be a part of one’s nation, defending one’s nation’s financial and economic well-being through outcompeting other nations, etc. - with Racism or xenophobia, as these are a distinct concept encapsulated as a pathological hatred of everyone that is not you. For example, because you close your door at night, or maintain your privacy when entering your pin, or have an unyielding view of who has been designated membership in your family group and who has not, doesn’t make you a hater, a racist or a xenophobe; it just makes you a healthy, rationale human being. Thus, maintaining the exclusivity of one’s nation does not equate to ‘hatred’ as many contemporary political radicals and charlatans would lead you to believe. I hope this expands your understanding of nationhood and national identity. Have a great day, and good fortune and health to you all.

@@fentonfairway5793 I think your heart tells where you belong. if you have an emotional connection to something or a country that can not really be explained. Your heart beats madly if you just think about it and the feeling of warmth spreads out at home, then you belong there and are a part of it. It does not matter in which region of this earth to be born, it is just a place. Your love and passion gives you a home and a connection. If I were Norwegian, may I call myself a Scot? After all, the vikings invaded scotland and left behind people today called robertson, anderson, and so on. Are also scots norwegian if they are called robertson. You are what your heart tells you to be, irish, english, scottish, german and so on. No matter where you were born. My opinion. If you're Anderson, you're not a Scot but a Norwegian or a Dane or a Swede. Nonsense, right? Your are feeling connected to scotland, so you are scottisch. You are what you feel connected to.

You remind me of a friend of mine who moved up from the South of England, changed his whole ethos and philosophy in life and found a level of peace he had not experienced before. He embraced Scotland wholeheartedly, and she embraced him. He is now part of Scotland, and she him. Happy travels

Sometimes, when watching videos of vloggers in Scotland, I think about William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, the history of their epic struggles, and wonder if their spirits still roam the hills. I've not been to Scotland yet but I suspect the emotion of the place often overtakes photographers. I did my first calendar last year and stuck to images from the month for the pages. Btw, you may consider 14 images so you have a front and rear cover. I liked the idea of the photo representing the month and I'm doing it that way this year also. We rarely get snow here so my winter pages will have no snow. Still though, they reflect the typical conditions of rain, fog, trees without leaves. I've come to really appreciate the winter months even with no snow. I only did 55 calendars but sold them all. The comments I got back were all very favorable. Most people liked the photo representing the month to depict the actual conditions.

Cheers Philip - I'm always thinking back to these historical events/moments - is something I hope to make a video about one day. Cheers for the comment

Bonny Scotland🙂😍...First time I stood on a windswept cliff top overlooking a beach on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides watching the wild wild sea,feeling natures raw elemental power...I just became overwhelmed and cried😭 with awe and gratitude🙏 at the beauty😍!!💞🙂Wow wasn't expecting that 😀

For another incredible vista of Bonny Scotland head up Stac Pollaidh for an amazing 360, jaw dropping delight.

A great part of the beauty of Scotland is the fog, mist, overcast skies, and low hanging clouds. It adds to the mystery and the magic

Your photos are stunning. I'm lucky enough to live here but I love to see the landscape through someone else's eyes. Thank you.

I’m like that in the Highlands, I’m living in Galloway just now and my ancestors go hundreds possibly thousands of years, I’ve traced over a thousand years. The hills are barren. It makes me sad that all that life was changed when they cleared the lowlands then Highlands. Scotland is my home and the Highlands make me feel alive, I think about all the battles they were in, it stirs my soul for real.
