Hi from Edinburgh. Much recognition for your BBC standard cinematography and sensitive narration that captured the exotic nostalgic scenary of a Scottish isle. The sea, landscape and weather made me think of some moon in a scifi movie. Good work.

Ha ha! Your face when Tom said he sleep walks. Nervous laughter. What a great trip.

Murray I don't know how you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers on KZfaq your content is fantastic cant wait to see the second part of this. Have a great Christmas and New Year Slanj

You put some miles in! My husband (@Hunt on the Trails) and I reached Sligachan mid afternoon on day 4 and we weren’t hanging about! We learned our lesson about walking on Tarmac in boots on the Coast to Coast in 2020. Agony. We’ve walked in trail shoes ever since except in winter and foot pain is a thing of the past. Really enjoyed the video - nice to see the trail from a different perspective.

AH this is an outstanding video Murray, absolutely breathtaking. I don't have the ability to do this right now, but Skye stole my heart the first time I went there, and I go back and do mini ventures into her wilds often. To produce the videos you make, while doing this walk and climbing hills and battling the ever changing weather really is something special. Superb, can't wait for the next part! Thank-you! ❤️

A HOTEL?! MURRAY EATING IN A HOTEL? You must be getting old and nesh (or going up market) 😆 Have to agree with you - Skye is probably my favourite place also love the Slig too - amazing boozer in an amazing location

Jesus you guys are fit.....14 miles wie back packs like that....mega!

After seeing Tom's I've been desperate to see this one. Great stuff is worth the wait. Cheers Murray and have a lovely Christmas

Why Scotland always make me like in a dream ❤️❤️❤️

Murray Murray Murray.... This is also my favourite place in the world.. Incredible vlog. Can't wait to return again. 💙💙

15 seconds in and love it already. You really should give up the day job, Murray! (If you haven't already) you were born for this 👍

Great stuff Murray, so looking forward to the next video. Great watching for Christmas week!

13:45 fantastic view, almost looks like Iceland

Absolutely outstanding video from one of the best KZfaq vlogers

Wow- watching from Australia. On my bucket list now.❤

What a great video one of the best yet the time flew by with the outstanding views can’t wait for next part many thx

Tom needs no introduction 😂 excellent video as always, you were fairly battling the elements!

Half way through watching it. That camp spot on the second night on the east side of the island overlooking the water, Rassay and the mainland looks absolutely phenomonal. It has to be one of the best camp spots I've seen in your videos!

Thank you. 😷👍

Ever since my first visit there in 1994 I have always thought of Skye as my favourite place on the planet. Unusually I have mostly been blessed with great weather whenever I have visited too. Great idea for an adventure Murray. Terrific !

I've been looking forward to this one... 😁

Dreaming about adventures like this!

Brilliant. Watched this with beer in hand. Really enjoyed it. Inspiring.

Outstanding Murray! Just outstanding!👏👏👏👏👏Cant wait to see the next part of the adventure! The views!👊😎You can just hear the atmosphere! Have a great Christmas!🎅

You certainly pulled out the stops on this one. One of our favourite places too and why we stay in Torrin every year. Well worth the cuppa and biscuits.... and chocolate 😊

You broke the magical 1 hour Murray and what a fantastic time to do it and what a special place to give us such a marvellous video. Absolutely loved watching this and was definitely worthy of the big TV. Thanks for sharing and for all the other videos this year. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

Superb. That hour flew by. Looking forward to part 2!

I'm so looking forward to your beautiful videos. Your photography is amazing, the scenery breathtaking. Thank you so much. During this time in a confused world your videos bring back sanity. Liv in Ontario Canada.

Hi Murray, great opening drone shots, you've been working hard. I saw Tom's video a while ago and knew your's would be coming along in good time. It was well worth the wait.

One of my favourite places too. On the scarp near Ben Edra had lovely encounter with a Golden Eagle showing off - he flew level with me along the cliff , only about 40 ft away, turned his head to look at me, then closed his wings for a plunge down, then back up again ! Was at the southern part of the trail, Armadale up to Talisker last June Bikepacking - beautiful scenery. Great video Murray, look forward to the second half, especially Loch Eishort area. All best.

The man's a legend in a whisky bottle 🎄🥃

Amazing. You could really get LOST and FOUND yourself here 🙂

All my Christmases coming together lol what an EPIC and humorous vlog not only with Murray but with Legend Vlogger Thomas also :) ... Marsco which I had the pleasure of climbing last summer EPIC summit and views and on to the black Cuillin :) ..Can't wait for part 2 or even part 3... Thanks lads Pretty Fantastic Stuff ☘️

Jesus mate, I wild camped on the isle of skye a few years ago....first night was great, calm and icy, second my tent was flapping like yours , third washed away with water up to my knees!

I did South to North 10 years ago, a great trip, a magical place, I got married in Portree in October, it never leaves you, great video Murray, it's made my year!!

An hour or so?... Was that all, it flew by. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks for taking the time to film your adventure, and taking us along with you.

Absolutely breathtaking scenery! Looking forward to the next. Thanks Murray fantastic as always.👍

This is AMAZING; the commentary is entertaining and informative, the cinematography is world class! You are a 1 man Scottish Tourist Bureau! Ive subscribed

Awesome couple of videos we where their that week and it was a hot one .. brilliantly put together and entertaining

Good video i enjoyed watching it :)

Wow super video Murray, l really enjoyed it. Great to see Tom l watch his Channel too, smashing photographer as well as yourself, of course 🙂 Cant wait to get back to Skye after cancelling the last two trips. Looking forward the next bit of the trip. Thanks Murray, take care Alioban x

did the Skye trail ultra race back in May 2018, started at 5am from Duntulm telephone box, weather was fab and got to see the Trotternish ridge in all its magnificent glory. have never had as big blisters, but was worth it. Your latest vlog brought back lovely memories 😊. there are a couple of springs on the ridge which were a godsend on the warm sunny day we had. thanks Murray for your latest offering!

Wow if ever anyone needs inspiration just watch your videos I’m almost seventy and and have been planning a fishing trip to Skye but fancy doing a small part around Portree, the scenery and the solitude is just awe inspiring, thanks to you both. 👏 👏

Just another planet, boys.. So beautiful always loved sky but never been. Hopefully before I die 😉❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

One of my fave scottish places quirang...discovered ( been skye many times ) cafe owner in uig told us about area in 2016....🤩awsome vid

I've been so looking forward to this Murray and must say what an amazing video love it love it love it this first part ,

1 hour long Scotland’s Mountains video in Skye. Merry Christmas Murray, thanks for the quality content you continue to put out. I’ll be back in Scotland next year to walk the West Highland Way. If I have time I may tackle curved ridge along the way.

What an absolute treat. Thanks!

Excellent effort gents. Perfectly documented as usual Murray. I've had the Skye trail in my sights for quite a while - hopefully this coming year. Thanks for sharing. 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾⛺😎

Thank you ❤️ No eyes are dry. This magical island is just... No words. Very emotional. One of the best experiences on our trip to bonnie Scotland in 2019. Stay safe and Happy new year 🙏🎉

Hi Murray, head phones on large coffee big bag sweets and off i went at last got to watch part one , what a mystical magical stunning place to hike , so beautiful best place on earth , love every minute second of the hike ,wishing i was there , we are so lucky over here to have such stunning scenery, even the weather made the hike more exciting, thankyou so much for taken us along with you , i cant wait to settle in for part 2 , x

The drone shots are beautiful The wind..my goodness..no bugs…. but your tent is beating you up at night! Stunning landscape , I can’t get over how much you’ve hiked. A nice night in the camper , you both looked drained Looking forward to part 2 Take care 🇨🇦 🎄 ❤️

Cracking video, well worth the hour cant, wait for part 2 👍 Merry Christmas

Has been my favourite place since the early 80s, guided then by the WA Poucher “Magic of Skye” book. Things have changed on the island, but not its beauty or the emotion I feel when there. Thanks again for sharing 🙂

Top man, fantastic as usual 👌

I knew this would be worth waiting to find the time to watch this properly! Very much looking forward to part 2. PS Hearing all those words that you only hear in Scotland makes me smile. :-)

Well, from what I’ve seen so far, that’s a contender for the best 3 out of 6 days a person could spend. Just outstanding. So jealous. ( toes+knees + 55 years old)

Great videos as always 🏔👍

Love your videos, this is the only channel that I can watch more an hour videos and be amazed the whole video

Awesome Murray. I don't know Skye yet but I am glad to have gone on this trip with you. Good job you remembered your coffee! Look forward to seeing the rest of your escapade! A merry Christmas to you and your family.

Hello! Thank you again for inviting us to follow in your footsteps through the magical Scottish trails. Greetings from Algeciras (Spain). Merry Christmas!!!

Marvelous, looking forward to part 2,👍

Cheers Murray an 1hr well spent a Merry Christmas to you and all your family.

Fantastic scenery and vlog. Must be 25 year since I last visited Skye and Portree. After watching this , definitely need to get back. Looking forward to part two 👍

Nice one Murray. Sleep walking in a camper van could be interesting. Fabulous trail. Atb Gordon

Ok got my cuppa and biscuits!!

I delayed until Christmas day to watch this, thank you Murray and Tom probably one of my favourite presents, you both have a Great Christmas you deserve it, and the delight on my face just now is because of those final lines "to be continued" Woo Hoo bring on part 2.

Just watched this while sitting in a house in the West Midlands, as Storm Eunice passes over and loved every second of it. The wife and myself have been quite well travelled, but the place we always look forward to going back to, is Skye, love the island, love the people and even love the weather !, thanks for the vlog and looking forward to watching part two

Fantastic. As a long time lover of Skye I haven't been able to visit since 2019 so it's great to see it and remind myself of great days out there (I kept saying, "been there"). Seing some of the places less visited was brilliant. Now I'm looking forward to the next part.

Hullo from Derbyshire in England We have always followed and enjoyed your videos .. mainly because our hearts are in Scotland . I am a Wildlife photographer and love walking spending a lot of time in the Highlands and Islands .. even St Kilda . Thank you .. you keep us going until we can return to Scotland .. hopefully Isle of Mull in March .. best wishes to you and your family for 2022 .. stay healthy and safe . Chris & June

14 mins in and another beauty so far. Would holiday with the family growing up from 5 -15 yrs old on the other side of the water in mallaig/morar and visited 3 of the 4 small Isles(not canna) as well as skye of course. Stunning place, can't wait to visit again, its been a few years. Thanks for sharing ure trip.

Wonderful video. We did the Skye trail in may and enjoyed every minute!

What a great hours worth of telly, better than the shite on mainstream TV! Can't wait to get up to Skye again in my van!

This summer we also stayed in the bothy in the North of Skye. Beautiful scenery.

that was excellent, thank you

Perfect first sentence Murray, set to the most magical mountain place I have ever known too. Skye tourist board should owe you for decades! Stunning trip, thoughtfully presented for us all to share. Thanks

Very impressed by the air drying of your underpants on Beinn Edra...Stunning stuff as always; watching you and Thomas together provides a real two for the price of one deal!

Scenery is out of this world, could watch this all day Going to have to get myself up to Skye one day , looks absolutely fantastic

What fantastic footage👍

This KZfaq channel is underrated.

Awesome

WOW

Absolutely brilliant video, very well documented and stunning scenery. Thanks for sharing and definitely on my bucket list 👍

A very enjoyable hours viewing. That wind was brutal by the looks of it. Thanks for sharing the adventures throughout the year. Have a great Christmas Martin

Nice one Murray. Planning to do the Skye trail next year. 👍

Absolutely brilliant! Watched this on my phone then loved it so much watched again on the big screen! Your vlogs are awaited each week with anticipation you really have a talent to communicate the whole atmosphere of the trip. Thanks for all the enjoyment you give us.Happy Christmas to you and all your family and friends “Stay safe out there “🥃🍬☀️🐕‍🦺😀

Tom seems like exactly the kind of company you’d want on one of these long hikes, cheery and always seeing the positives! I’m hoping to do the Skye trail early next year so thanks for the video Murray :)

So thats what the trotternish ridge looks like (well, bits of it!). I attempted the skye trail a few years ago, starting at uig from the ferry and went up the fairy glen joining the skye trail roughly at your first camp. Main reason for the walk was i wanted to see the ridge. Entire time i was on it was pouring rain and fog. Didnt see a thing. I did shelter for lunch at that same wall in the bealach, so i recognise one bit! I also went off route a few times in the fog. Too often i didnt bother looking at my gps thinking i cant go wrong, its a ridge!

Murray this and part two are such amazing and inspiring vlogs. We love the Isle of Skye and your journey from top to bottom has to be one your best yet. This is certainly one I'll be revisiting and watching for a long time to come. Highly enjoyable as always. Please don't stop what you're doing. All the best.

Part 1 completed and straight in to Part 2 now 👍Great timing Murray in releasing these two videos at Christmas - wonderful viewing as I sit with my leg up while resting/stretching a sore heel. A wonderful watch 😊

Beautifully shot as ever, such a relaxing style.

I'm lucky enough to live on skye. This video really captured the beauty of the island from perspectives I've never seen before. Just phenomenal

Another great video, Murray. I enjoyed watching Tom's version of this on his channel when it came out, and enjoyed yours just as much. Merry Christmas, and a Guid New Year, when it comes.

Another fantastic video. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to part 2.
