I tried living on a tiny remote Scottish island for 7 days. Scotland has many islands, especially on its western coastline. Trying Scottish island living has been something which has been on my bucket list for years so I decided to finally make it happen!
Join me as I head to the tiny Isle of Muck, one of The Small Isles and spend 7 days of simple living in a cute cottage and experience Scottish island life....

A trick that I was taught when I worked on a farm as a teenager - always carry a stick when near cows. They think twice about charging you if you just wave the stick at them. It is useful to use a walking stick anyway beacause it can stop you falling over on slippy surfaces.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="667">11:07</a> Ruth, the reason why we have separate taps in the U.K. is mostly now tradition and we we are now shifting towards mixer taps finally. When I was a boy in the 70s we had a header tank usually either in the loft our above the hot water cylinder to give added pressure to the water as the hot tank was often upstairs in the property, without it, the hot water would trickle out very slowly because the cold water refill pipe would feed the tank very slowly. With header tanks, they were usually open and would have maybe a sheet of wood on top to keep out any birds or other undesirables that got into the loft. We were always told not to drink the water out of the hot tap as you might even end with the odd spider that had dropped in… yeuch… and so this is the main reason why we had 2 separate taps, one for drinking, the other for washing. With modern boilers, we use pumps to boost the water pressure and as they are sealed, the tanks give clean safe drinkable water (if you like drinking hot water from a tap 😵‍💫🥴)… Sorry about the long explanation… my ADHD affords me the ability to not be concise and to the point … lol 😂 By the way, I love this video and look forward to following your journeys … safe journeys xxx

I think I'm still staggered at the game-changing quality of the aerial video which is now possible, thanks to the automated drone Ruth mentioned in another video. Not just its compact size, but its controller-free programming, enables the filming of documentary-like sequences. I'm particularly impressed by the distance shots. To think that 20 years ago that would have taken a prohibitively expensive helicopter, and even 10 years ago a large cumbersome drone which you had to stay in controller range of. I wish I had had such a device when I explored the other-worldly landscapes of north-west Scotland around Durness, Tongue, and Kinlochbervie in 2013. Keep it up!

What a lovely cottage a beautiful escape with modern amenities. The mixer shower hose that attaches to the taps takes me back to my childhood never could get the temperature right. The island looked beautiful in the good weather. I think I could stay but I can relate to the loneliness you felt at one point. Loved the tea room , the food looked absolutely lush. Your filming is wonderful , you capture everything so well and your drone footage is amazing . I can only admire your work and how you edit and put together your vlogs, so professional.

They have about 60-70 residents and I would love to spend Sept-April out there to see how life is on an island so far away. I would love to visit Muck, spending hours just exploring and taking photos. Loved the cow, she probably felt you were going to get too close to the babies, silly cow. They also have a shop there called "Winterworks" that has craft items from the residents on the island. I hope you didn't have too many groceries to take back with you.

You get a different perspective on life when you are cut off from the mainland. I at least had my car on the Isle of Lewis & Harris so I was able to explore a bit but it is a much bigger piece of land. It can be difficult when you have no one to speak to on an island. when I first moved there I could go all weekend without talking to anyone but I soon made friends and island life improved as in the main most people are very friendly. My boss in Glasgow was always surprised why I always spoke about the weather when he phoned me but you are very dependent on the weather for travelling whether by sea or air and whether newspapers and or fresh food and groceries were going to make it across the sea. Cows can become a little unpredictable when they have calves at foot so it is always advisable to give them a wide berth but at least they don't bite. I have not been to those islands but they have a certain appeal and I could hunker down with some good books quite happily. If you like to read the author Peter May has a trilogy set on the Isle of Lewis that I highly recommend.

In my part of Canada (southwest Ontario) hot and cold taps were separated(like the U.K.), and houses did not have showers, but in the last 70 years homes have had combined hot and cold water in one tap, and showering has now become the norm. 😊

I simply adore your videos. In fact, your channel is quickly becoming one of my favoritse. I'm moving to Ireland this fall... With a planned month in Scotland in January... I'm basing myself out of Dundee so I can drive around to all the lovely cities like Fife, Stirling, St. Andrews, Edinburgh, etc. but still have a comfy home base. Your videos -- and you as a person -- really inspire me as my time of adventure draws closer and closer! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for the great ideas for our journey. I've wanted to visit Scotland my whole life and seeing all these places is making me so excited for our visit.

Hi Ruth, im a newbie to your channel and felt compelled to drop you a wee message. Im in my 40's, from Aberdeenshire and getting out exploring i have found helps with mental health better than anything. I love our country. It is also on my bucket list to spend time in the tiny Scottish isles! Would you possibly mention in any of your places if you know whether they are dog friendly? Thank you for your videos, im binge watching as we speak. They are informative, clear, easy to listen to and a joy to watch so thank you. All the best in your future adventures Ruth 🙂💕

@ruthaisling Ай бұрын

Thank you so much. I can try mentioning it in future. I think Muck would be a good place to bring a dog but you would need to check if the holiday accommodation or ferry accept dogs.
