I stayed in Scotland's wilderness hostel. Located a 20-minute walk from Corrour Station, the UK's most remote railway station, Loch Ossian hostel is located deep in the Scottish Highlands and is 10 miles from the nearest public road.
In my previous video I caught a train from Rannoch Station to Corrour Railway Station and shared the amazing Corrour Station House restaurant and the area surrounding Corrour train station. You can watch that video here: • I Went To The UK's Mos...
This time, I share my experience staying overnight in the remote and isolated Loch Ossian hostel. Loch Ossian hostel in Scotland is the UK's highest hostel and is such a fantastic and wild place to visit. I recommend this Hostelling Scotland Hostel to those seeking solitude and looking to get away from it all.

In this video and for future ones, there will be subtitles available in 24 languages, including English. English and Japanese subtitles are written manually. For the other 22 languages, machine translation software is used which may occasionally lead to less-than-perfect translations. The selection of languages was made taking into account viewer requests on KZfaq and Instagram, as well as the regions with the largest viewership. To activate the subtitles, click the "CC" button below the video, then go to the settings to select your preferred language. The subtitles will appear on screen. If you'd like to adjust the subtitles' position on the screen, you can click and drag them to your preferred location (moving the position may not work if watching on a TV). Here is the list of available languages, sorted alphabetically: * Arabic * Chinese (Simplified) * Chinese (Traditional) * Danish * Dutch * English * Finnish * French * German * Hindi * Indonesian * Italian * Japanese * Korean * Malaysian * Norwegian * Filipino * Portuguese * Russian * Scottish Gaelic * Spanish * Swedish * Thai * Turkish Thanks for watching this video!

Great Video! I stayed at Loch Ossian Youth Hostel for 2 night almost 30 years ago, it looks like it has had a makeover since then, but it was still a great experience. We walked round Loch Ossian, fished in the loch, catching loads of trout. We also had a close up experience with the local deer that came right up to the Hostel door to be fed by hand, one actually had a drink of tomato soup from a mug, ending up with red lips 😀

it's one of the nicest Scotland exploration videos you've posted. I'd say the area is not steepy hills but rather plane without any nearby forest. Nevertheless it can be preferred for easy trekkings through the ponds and other kinds of plants. thanks from Turkiye (Turkey) for this short video, Ruth.

Many years ago, a friend was touring Scotland by train & had booked a night in a B&B somewhere "near" Corrour Station, but didn't realise how remote it is. When he arrived there it was evening, late in the year, and it was pitch dark with not a single light in sight. Standing completely alone, he was starting to panic. it was dark, cold, and there was little shelter. Spending the night there would lead to a case of exposure at best. Then, in the distance he saw a light, slowly heading toward him, and eventually a Land Rover arrived at the station - It was the owner of the B&B, who'd come to collect him. He'd never been so relieved to see someone !

Hi Ruth, have you been sitting in Ernie practising your pronunciation, Loch Ossian was perfect.😀😀😀😀. When I used to work night shift I used ear plugs and an eye mask, especially in summer when it was bright from early on. And of course the ear plugs to block out the noise of the dear little children playing outside. Although the ear plugs just made you more aware of the noises in your head. Thanks for another great video.

You say in other videos that you have anxiety , and I will never make light of anyone who may suffer in anyway from mental health problems, I just can’t equate both points. I really like your videos and In the most part you are cheerful and rightfully independent which I admire. I hope your loved ones know where you are as you and I very well know texting or phoning is not always possible. Having said all this please do not let me crush your dream for that is not my intention… I hope you find what you are seeking and I think if it is not close to home then it is not too far off.

Great video Ruth, I may just have to visit this hostel. You are an absolute natural with these videos. Question... do you speak Japanese?
@ruthaisling 9 ай бұрын
It's a lovely hostel! Yes I can speak Japanese, I made a video about it on my channel - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJqhlqeSv9-8lXU.html

Hi Ruth, love your videos. I purchased a campervan just over a year ago, and so far have managed 4 months in the van . 2 months in Scotland and more visits planned. I tried your discount code with Manta but it wouldn’t work. They still offered me 10% if I joined their club, but I was concerned that you might not get any credit for the referral. Keep doing what your doing.
@ruthaisling 10 ай бұрын
Hey there, your campervan trips sound amazing! I am sorry the code is not working. I have sent Manta an email to ask and I'll get back to you soon!

スコットランドの「HOSTEL」素敵ですね❤ 私も若い頃、日本にある「ユースホステル」を利用していました。 夜、皆の前で自己紹介(Introducing yourself in front of guests)したりして楽しかったです。 スコットランドのホステルも同じシステムですか(Is it the same system?)？
@ruthaisling 10 ай бұрын
私は日本で1つか2つのホステルにしか泊まったことがないので、比較するのは難しいです。 でも、みんなに自己紹介する必要はないけど、みんなたいてい共有スペースに座っているから、会って話すのは簡単だよ。

私も混雑した場所は苦手なので1人になりたくて山に行ったりします。スコットランドには高い山が無くて気楽にハイキングが出来ていいですね。景色だけを見るとアラスカにいるような気分になりますが湿地帯に蚊はいないのでしょうか？気になりますね。 ケーキ美味しそうですね。全部食べてみたいです。😅

夏のスコットランドには、蚊のような厄介な虫がいる。ミッジは風のないところにいて、たいてい群れをなして移動する。くれぐれも気をつけてください。

Hi Ruth, looks like a great place to get away from it all for some peace and quiet and to enjoy the wonders of nature. I’ve never tried Japanese cuisine, what would you recommend and where is the best place to shop for this? Thanks, enjoy your week. 😊x
@ruthaisling 10 ай бұрын
It really is, especially as the hostel had no wifi / network coverage! Regular supermarkets have a few Japanese items like noodles, wasabi or soya sauce. But Asian supermarkets is where you will find much more. Those miso soup sachets are an easy way to try Japanese food. One sachet has the soup paste and one sachet has the dried veg. Udon noodles and broth or gyoza (dumplings) are easy also. I make dumplings and show how to cook them in a video coming soon, look out for it and maybe you can try that!

Enjoyable videos! £26.50 seems quite a lot, but I doubt there is much profit in that, if any - so I guess that is what it costs! You'll meet the best of the best tourists in places like that - long may they continue!
