In this video, we share our story of why we moved to the Scottish Highlands, one of the most beautiful and sparsely populated regions in the UK. We reveal the four main reasons that motivated us to leave English Country life behind and embrace the wild and wonderful nature of the Highlands.
If you are curious about the Highlands, or if you are thinking of moving there yourself, this video will give you some insights and inspiration.
Some of the topics we cover in this video are:
The benefits of living in a less populated area, such as less traffic, less pollution, less stress, and more peace and quiet.
The amazing wildlife and nature that surrounds us, from the majestic mountains and lochs, to the diverse flora and fauna, to the stunning aurora borealis.
The weather in the Highlands, which is often unpredictable, but also offers some of the most dramatic and beautiful scenery in the world.
The culture and history of the Highlands, which is rich and fascinating, and influenced by the Gaelic language and traditions.
We hope you enjoy this video and find it informative and entertaining. Please give it a thumbs up if you do, and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more videos about our life in the Scottish Highlands. Thank you for watching!

Hey! thanks for the information. My boyfriend and I are interested in moving to scotland and especially the highlands. Can you tell me if is easy find job for latin people and how much is a flat or house rent? Thanks!

@thehighlandlife2023 8 күн бұрын

@camilatejada5197 I would assume it’s the same for Latin people finding a job as it would be English and Scottish or any other nationality. It can be hard but it also isn’t always. Really depends on the sector of work people are looking for I’d say and where abouts in the Highlands as it’s a huge area. Flat and house rent will differ hugely on the area of the highlands you are looking. I’d suggest researching on estate agents websites etc for rent prices so you can get a feel for prices in different areas of the Highlands. Good luck ❤️

The scenery with the deer/wildlife was beautiful. Staying closer to nature is relaxing. I have always like that about areas like that.

I always imagine that the Scottish highlands are very romantic! I think you have made a very good choice to move there because it's far from the toxicity of the urban lifestyle. People are wrong to think that only cities can be sustainable because nature has more to offer! ❤

@thehighlandlife2023 3 күн бұрын

They definitely can be, but it also can be for those who work the land like crofters, it can be a very hard life. We love being so far away from urban lifestyle it’s never been anything we have craved. Although don’t mind the odd city break now and again to experience something new. But thankful to always come back to our quiet peace of paradise xx

My wife and I moved to Skye from Leicestershire over 4 years ago, for many similar reasons. Our children are grown up and have moved away so it was our time. The best thing we have ever done. I fall in love with the island every day.

Aww wow! That’s amazing. We love Skye and visit often and funny enough my husband is there currently. Skye is a very special place for sure. I bet you still pinch yourself every day even after 4 years. We do still after 2!

Looks like your in Caithness - my late father in law's family were from there. It is lovely but there are drawbacks in terms of cost of living - often higher - and less amenities. Hilarious to hear you moved there for the weather but I guess the Midlands is pretty rainy! They really need people to move to these underpopulated areas but I hope you do actually integrate into and support the community e.g. sending your children to the local schools.

@thehighlandlife2023 3 ай бұрын

I have to say I haven’t noticed our cost of living being more, our standard of living has hugely improved since our move. We have been pleasantly surprised at home much there is here but I guess it depends on what things people want from where you live. A lot of people laugh at the fact I love the weather here 🤣 We do get involved in our local community, in fact we are off to a ceilidh on Friday at our community hall! We have always home educated but other than not populating the schools, however none around us are struggling for numbers. But we shop local, and feel heavily integrated and so very welcomed ❤️

Way too late for that! The Highlands is hugely popular and known by many and can get busy in the summer months. Responsible Visitors are welcomed in the main, it’s not my place to gate keep. After all the Highlands isn’t mine to keep x
