Hi from California. Scotland is such a beautiful country.

There are two things we will always fight for: our own people and our land. That brief story of Knoydart very well sums it up and it might look like a "small fight" in the grand scheme of things but it also sums up what being human is and our fighting spirit. I live in a very far away country but I hope someday I can visit this land.

Great video. Been to Knoydart twice, both times stayed on the campsite at Inverie. First time was in a heatwave, the second time was last October, waking up to the sounds of stags bellowing, the waves and oystercatchers calling. And late enough in the year to avoid the midges! Magic place. Hiked up sgurr coire chonnichean, the corbett that you see behind the campsite as well. The old forge has had a major upgrade as well, sometime last year. They didn't serve food before that, lots of venison dishes as expected, all absolutely superb.

Scotland is so lovely. I would love to visit there as my heritage is strong. In the meantime, thank you so much for taking us along. It means the world to me. I love your videos. ✌️🙂❤️

It was part of my research for a children’s storybook I wrote, about an eight-year-old boy called Westie who takes the train from Beauly and has different adventures. Beauly is famous for having the shortest platform in the UK. In 2021, I self-published the book. 😊

What a beautiful place, parts of it reminded me a little of my own country of New Zealand. The fact that Inverie/Knoydart is isolated and has to be purposefully visited (as opposed to just passing through) also adds to its charm I think. In that it's so quiet and peaceful. Stunning scenery too...paradise on earth. 😊🌿🌼🌄

I've subscribed to many a you tube channel over the years but since I stumbled across your channel a few months ago I have to say this has to be right up there amongst the best I've seen. Fantastic videos, wonderful voice overs, magical scenery. How you do all that you do on your own is unbelievable, mind boggling. My grandfather was a scot and I've been to Scotland numerous times man and boy, the area I know best is around Oban on the west coast as he built a house on the side of Loch Etive, and we used to visit twice a year in the seventies eighties and nineties. I don't go up as often as I'd like to these days because I live on the south coast of England, but Scotland will always be in my soul and your videos are reminders of what a wonderful place Scotland is. Keep up your amazing work, and thanks.

Just caught up with this video after watching your Kinloch Hourn to Barrisdale video. This has taken me back to my first Knoydart visit, way back in May 1979 - boat from Mallaig via Inverie to the head of Loch Nevis, and several days staying in the former outdoor centre there, trying to bag some Munros. Although it was May, it was very wintry, snowflakes the size of saucers when we landed, and sadly lots of dead deer because of the unseasonal snow and cold. A hike over to Inverie and back, no Old Forge pub then unfortunately. But a tremendous expedition nevertheless, culminating in a massive hike back to Mallaig via Loch Morar. Great to find all these memories stimulated by your video, Ruth.

Fabulous video again Ruth. We were lucky to stay with friends in remote cottages in the Kyle's Morar , travelling from Malaig to Knoydart then another boat across to the Kyle's. An amazing place, so lovely to see again through your eyes, thank you ! Love your interesting, very different journeys. Take care ! Xx
