Tiny Van Life on the Isle of Mull, Scotland
Спорт
Our van adventures on the Isle of Mull begin by heading to Lochbuie, before moving west to Fionnhport with a quick trip to the stunning Isle of Iona. We absolutely loved Iona and definitely want to make it somewhere we go back to and spend longer at next time! We then start heading north. Join us next week for more tiny van life on Mull!

WOW! We were not planning to visit Mull on our 3 week trip to Scotland next year, but thanks to this video it is now on the itinerary. A real pleasure to share the journey with you.
I got back this morning from a week on Arran. There's something about being on an island, it just feels different. Arran is so beautiful. Saw Seals 🦭 Otters, amazing bird life. Can't wait to return. I travelled round in my little van wild camping every night. Just heaven
My parents and I have been going to fidden for over 40 years. Best place to camp ever! It’s got a very special place in our hearts! It has this crazy microclimate there, the mainland and northern part of mull can’t be horrendous weather and the leg is usually in the sun! Can’t believe you guys are on mull! We try to keep it a secret as we don’t want it getting busy 😜😜 Hope you enjoyed! 🤟🏼

I agree , shhhhh...keep Scotland's secrets secret....not much chance with all these influencers wanting to make their content all the time. Sad.
My wife and I just watched this with both jealousy and fond memories. We spent Christmas on Iona in 2018. Such a beautiful Island and the locals were so welcoming. The smell of the land as we drove across Mull was just so earthy. love the vids,

Lovely to see Mull again, I was lucky enough to live there in the 70's. 1 year at Pennyghael , on the road towards Iona and 3 years at Aros, just south of Tobermory. A beautiful island, am looking forward to your next video, thanks.

This video inspired our trip to Mull in the summer months. We return in November to live and work full time. It's so special - a place unlike any other. Thank you.
Wonderfully Zen as ever, stunning locations.
Ahoy Pirates! So glad I've found your channel! One can always learn from the best. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures. Great footage! God bless, cheers to you! .) Captain of the good old Blackthorne
Some great choice of music, and you always seem to capture the essence of the islands. Chilled and atmospheric.

This looks like a movie. It's so refreshing to see it's more about the sites and the experiences vs other travel videos where it's so centered about the people. I feel like I'm traveling with you which is what I know a lot of people are desperate to do at this time.
The West coast of Scotland takes no selling to me. Stunning start to your trip & your breakfasts don't half make my stomach rumble. Hope you got to glimpse the White-tailed Sea Eagles while you were there. Can't wait for Part 2 mate xx

@@RambleFamily They do day trips to Iona, but although it's a small island, it is absolutely fascinating if you take your time and spend a few days or a week there. On the west of the island are beautiful long beaches and sand dunes where you can spend the whole day in perfect isolation with the sound of the waves!
Looks lovely. My family have been going to Mull since the 80s
That opening footage with the music and fading to natural sounds was just so beautiful ❤️ looking forwards to part 2!

@@RambleFamily And yet somehow the lovely music didn’t seem to detract from the harsh reality of seagull shit spattered on a dirty CalMac ferry window on a dreich day in the West coast of Scotland. So, so poetic.
I wish I were there!! Very peacefull island !!! Iona ,such a magic place!!! Be well you two!! Enjoy the life!! Greetings from Greece!!!😃
Beautiful as always, I sat here with a warm smile on my face the whole way through. Can't wait to see you all again soon xxx
Athena what a marvellous film. Wonderful Mull and Iona. So beautiful. Congrats to you and Harvey too on the baby. Looking forward to the next film.
The colours in your videos are just stunning. Thank you for sharing! ❤
🥰So lovely, Thank you. I only wish I could smell the sea air.
This was absolutely beautiful. Brought back lots of happy memories.
I love how you capture the beauty in simple moments 💗
Ahhh another lovely video. Looks absolutely stunning, you both look so happy and Oslo is such a good boy....take care and you are looking so well and blossoming 🌸😊 pregnancy suits you xx
Stunning video. Brought back memories long forgotten from my time there.....
So beautifully captured as always! Mull and Iona look so stunning, I'm really looking forward to a trip to the islands sometime.
Beautiful! Scotland is so pretty. Thank you for sharing your day with us!
So relaxing and calming to watch, glad you guys enjoyed your trip! ❤️
I panicked slightly when I thought you were going in for a swim. If anything could have induced an early pregnancy it would be water as cold as Scotland's (without the gulf stream to assist)! 🥶 Beautiful video though..
Looks amazing and very tranquil....thanks for sharing x
Breathtakingly beautiful. I need to get there some day.
Such a wonderful video, totally chilling, thank you.
This was beautiful! Thoroughly enjoyed x
This video is absolutely stunning... Pure art and soul soothing
Love it! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! 🌻
Mull is my Brigadoon, my favorite place on the planet. We had so many family holidays there and are looking forward to going back; Oslo is so chilled... Thanks for this, it brings back so many beautiful memories.
Another lovely video. Highlight this week: Harvey eating chips and saying, with a serious face, "Very happy." :D
I really enjoy watching your videos. Especially this time! ❤ Don't know why, but that peaceful atmosphere was so touching, that i had to cry. I wish you and your little family all the best. Thank you for sharing this. Greetings from Germany 😊

Wow it looks amazing, just had a first taste of Scotland for a few days, last week & the isle of Bute was stunning when we went to the bays. Cant wait to plan next adventure up there
Simply stunning……peaceful way to end my work day. Thank you for sharing your adventure. 💕
Relaxed lovely beautiful of two people loving life and what they are doing.
Hope to get to Mull one day. It is an island I have seen from various directions. I knew all 3 of you would like it. Look forward to part 2😊. Take care Janet
Absolutely beautiful. Life is so good. The location is so stunning and peaceful
Loved your vlog , you two look so happy,I went to Isle of Eigg a good few years ago it was beautiful just like mull,I still remember the bluey greeness of the sea, paradise, enjoy ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Living halfway across the planet, I love being able to vicariously participate in your adventures. Which are truly great by the way.
Beautiful ! Such a peaceful vlog💚🐾
Wow watched twice in a row, everything that I love all wrapped up in a beautiful video . 🙏🏻 Thank you both and not forgetting dear Oslo 🐶
Great couple, great video, blessed with weather, love the music, swim as well, happy days 😊 😎 ❤️
Beautiful video Athena! Discovered your channel a few weeks ago and it inspired me to organise my first solo camping trip, leaving for Tiree this week 😄🌞
Your videos make my Sunday evenings so much better ❤️ thank you for sharing your adventures with us
I love mull, so wild, so much nature, so peaceful..... All the single track road is a pain in the arse mind 😄 You can still go on adventures with a baby, my son was only 3 months when we were last on mull 😁
Made me homesick. I was born on the Isle of Mull....
Thank you for the video. It was really nice.
Mull is such a beautiful relaxing island and one of my favourite places. It also the first place I got to properly see otters . This brought back so many good memories. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful landscape and video again so relaxing to watch
So, so lovely! Me and my dog will hopefully be in Oban in September (it's my favourite place) and we'll be watching those ferries come and go. Mull takes some beating, and your footage was beautiful. xx
Thankyou, your videos are so lovely to watch, relaxing and lots of travel and hiking inspiration😊!! I would love to visit soon!
The beauty of this place fills the soul !
I find your videos so inspiring. You capture small moments so beautifully, like just making a cup of tea or putting some lunch together. I find when I make a cup of tea after seeing one of your videos, i notice all the little details more - like the steam rising from the cup. It feels extra meaningful somehow. So thank you for that💕
Wonderful video, full of great memories for us as we just got back from Mull yesterday. We couldn’t resist a blanket from Ardalanish Weavers, loved Lochbuie and Iona and of course it was a great surprise to meet the three of you in Tobermory and share the experience of the amazing wildlife trip to Staffa and Lunga. Looking forward to seeing more of your trip next week.
Lovely place, looks so tranquil🙏
Just on a purely artistic level I love your videos, the use of natural light and thoughtful composition is very enjoyable to watch.
What an incredible beautiful, captivating video. Thank you. It's been 15 years since I visited Mull - about time I got back there.
Oh that looks so beautiful! I loved the dark clouds paired with sun on the ferry over there. Can't wait to see what you get up to in the next video :) Glad you are enjoying your van freedom while you can!

Thanks for such a peaceful video, guys! My two kids love watching your wonderful adventures:) I was happy to hear about your pregnancy, congratulations! It brought back the memories of me being pregnant, I loved it! Never felt as close to the source of all creation as I did when my kids had there first material dwelling close to my heart....Wish you all the best!
Brilliant video.
Quite a few excellent video shots well done Harvey, (Athena was in some of them so it had to be Harvey.) it all brought back great memories.
Wonderful video 😍
Yay a new video!
I'm a Maclean so that is my ancestral home. But I've not visited Mull! So, having completed my stealth jumbo transit conversion, I'm headed up in early October. And watching your beautifully shot video, I'm even more excited that I was already if that's possible! Thank you so much. Doubt you reply after a few weeks as you're onto other blogs but that's grand....I just wanted to send a wee bit of positivity and gratitude your way as you continue your travels. New subscriber lovely people 😍😍🙏

This video is art!❤️ Can't wait to use your peak district book in a weeks time! I'm from Yorkshire but live in California and haven't been able to visit England for a year and a half due to the pandemic, but I'm flying out today and will be in the peaks on a family ramble trip and can't wait! I had a question - do you know when your ramble tees will be available to buy?
So chilled and relaxing. Thank you!
Love Mull. Cool vid guys 🥰

Lovely relaxing video Well done guys🙂I was fortunate anough to have visited mull on one occasion on many of my Highland Journeys up from the South Coast of England. Unfortunately I was not able to make the most of it as these were work trips,And I do remember getting my van stuck in mud on a track up to a site. I had no phone signal to get help (Which was ironic because I was working on a mobile phone tower,No people anyway Just the sound of the relentless rain and sheep...Lots of them!But a friendly local came to my rescue and drove me up to there cottage to use the landline to get rescued. As much as things good have been better on this particular trip,I've put the place on my bucket list to return on a leisure trip As the natural beauty of the place is stunning whatever the weather!
The life id love to lead,so wonderful there,id never leave
