im lucky to be born in scotland and know how you felt and hope you come back again one day.

It’s funny, I had the same feeling. But I also had the same feeling in your country when I visited the amazon rainforest

@@James-yy4vl I've never been to the amazon rainforest! hehe It's too far away from where I live (not far as Scotland, tough! hehe)

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in my Beautiful country. Hopefully your kind comments will encourage others to visit.

I’m married to a handsome Scottish husband 5months ago and I’m going to Scotland soon. So excited! It looks so so beautiful! And he is from PERTHSHIRE ! 😩😍

Mike - can't wait for Scotland, next year, can't come soon enough! Love, from Aussie!

L T and we can’t wait to have you pal. See as much as you can, it truly is magnificent. And from a Scotsman who’s best friend is Australian, (a Place I’ve always wanted to visit) we send that love right the way back across the water!.

LT another Aussie here - I’m heading to Scotland and Iceland in September 2019. Very excited, I hope I can do these beautiful countries justice in my photography.

@@ghosttabby1373 Exciting! No doubt you're photo's will be highly complimentary! It will a journey you'll always remember...the scenery and beauty is different to Aus of course, I am imagining it will get under my skin and into my bones like the Kimberly's or the ancient beaches in Walpole....bring on Scotland!... and Iceland too! Wishing you a magical trip. If you hear the faint echo across the highlands of, "mica's mum! ", you'll know it is your KZfaq mate, calling out, "hello! "Lol! 😂✋❄

L T Aww thanks. I’m sure it will be awe inspiring for us both. I’ll listen out for that echo too 😄

Exactly this.. I'm forever saying to people there's no words to describe it... It's a feeling its deep within your soul... You have to be here and feel it before you truly understand just how beautiful Scotland really is

Thats ma maw lol

I've had the privilege to travel all over the world and when I come back home to Bonnie Scotland, the Highlands still takes my breathe away. There's something almost spiritual about the landscape, it's as if the history of the land is still embedded in the rocks and it just washes over you and makes you feel overwhelmed.....

@@dizzielizzie5230 I know exactly the feeling u mean. Good way of explaining it👍

I've been gone a long long time, now living in Canada . Travelled all over the world but Scotland she pulls you. It's in our heart and soul. No country more beautiful.

Welcome to ALBA! I am Scottish living in Poland🇵🇱✔️

Love your thumbnail is that a nod to our typical scottish beard 💪

Great comments Red...

Welcome to ALBA! My dreams, My country, My home! Great vlog

Brilliant mate absolute classy comment

Absolutely spot on. What I have noticed and I’m not being disrespectful to the majority. The further south you go the more arrogant people become. They’re rude, not a greeting or anything. Scottish people are way more welcoming. They greet people every day. A story of when it was just my hubby and I.we went camping in Ayre once. It was a small commercial place. Where the old railway lines used to run. We pitched up opposite an elderly man who was local. We drove him up the the bar on site. Had a friendly chat with him. He was so grateful for our hospitality. He said that it tradition in Scotland to return a favour. The next morning he asked us for a coffee at his tent. They are so kind and considerate. What lovely people.

good post

My love.....dream and fly. Make it real. You will get there. See you.

I really hope you do get to see it. You'll be very welcome.

I live in scotland you are welcome to come and i will put you up:)

rebecca never say never, just do it,was there 10 years ago home from home am irish myself

Rebecca Ben. I will pray you get to go to Scotland. Just see yourself there everyday. God Bless you.

It's odd You say that Mrs. Enys, as I'm a 52 year old American guy in Chicago my whole life. Never knew my Father or anything about him. Just did a DNA test n discovered I am many ethnicities one being Scottish! Since finding this out I'm obsessed with Scotland lol. I have a pride of being Scottish I never felt before as strong as being American but even though I live here n my heart is here I now feel a connection to my Father and Scotland. :)

Sachin K , as a Scot, I feel lucky to have been born and lived my life here, but I LOVE India and cant wait until my next trip to your amazing country... the grass is always greener on the other side as they say ...!

Scotland"s gave the world more than people realise.. and it is raw and beautiful , a land to its own.

And we love the Geordies...guy I knew from Newcastle used to say "Geordies were Scotsmen with their heids kicked in"....lol

Stuart Barriskell sounds about right 😂

OffTheRails.......i love Geordie and Glaswegian accents...im from Dundee :)

Christine Deschênes I’m married to a handsome Scottish husband and I’m from Nepal 🙂

@@ncolgan5038 How lucky and amazing!! Thanks for sharing this with me, I wish you have a delicious life. Nepal + Scotland = paradise!

👏👏👏👏

Thanks a lot, it's some place!!

marion duff you are so right. The clean air, the atmosphere, the beauty. I have a terminal illness and when i feel down i go home. I don't know why , it builds my strength up and makes me feel so well almost invincible i never want to come back to England. Nobody must destroy the Highlands, its a magical place full of peace, they cant ever take that away.

Scot here, always said the same thing to non-natives too. The people here have to be of the most welcoming in the world.

It is an exclusive club. Its for Scottish people. Although as a half Scot he qualifies.

@@scottjustice8543 Classy.

If everyone can be Scottish then no one is Scottish, as being Scottish would be meaningless. For example, and it ties into what I was saying previously , if everyone got a gold medal for participation, even if they came 8th, 9th, 10th or so on, then the symbol of that gold medal becomes meaningless. It is the rarity and exclusivity of a said concept, or in this case national identity, that makes it precious, sacred and highly cherished. Yes, non-natives can become Scottish after many generations of their descendants having, through the accumulation of their actions and deeds, pledged themselves to the Scottish nation in body and soul - shedding blood, sweat and tears in maintaining our nations greatness and defending it, and showing themselves as the upmost allies. The sacred idea of nation is different from the modern and fleeting concept of country; which is a ridiculous concept and word, in my opinion. Nation comes from a Latin word ‘Natio’ meaning tribe, kin or family. Sam Francis gives a succinct definition of nation - ‘Every real nation is a people of a common blood and descended from the same ancestors. A nation - from the Latin word meaning to be born - can have no other meaning’. Therefore, this facile argument of ‘They have a British/Scottish passport so therefore...’ or ‘they were born here so therefore...’ falls out of the classical and, may I add, most rational definition of nation or nationhood. Therefore, healthy exclusivity is what gives a nation and its people it’s meaning, it’s purpose and it’s pride. However, do not conflate healthy exclusivity - maintaining one’s nation’s sovereignty, defending one’s nation’s borders, having a strict line on who and who can not be a part of one’s nation, defending one’s nation’s financial and economic well-being through outcompeting other nations, etc. - with Racism or xenophobia, as these are a distinct concept encapsulated as a pathological hatred of everyone that is not you. For example, because you close your door at night, or maintain your privacy when entering your pin, or have an unyielding view of who has been designated membership in your family group and who has not, doesn’t make you a hater, a racist or a xenophobe; it just makes you a healthy, rationale human being. Thus, maintaining the exclusivity of one’s nation does not equate to ‘hatred’ as many contemporary political radicals and charlatans would lead you to believe. I hope this expands your understanding of nationhood and national identity. Have a great day, and good fortune and health to you all.

@@fentonfairway5793 I think your heart tells where you belong. if you have an emotional connection to something or a country that can not really be explained. Your heart beats madly if you just think about it and the feeling of warmth spreads out at home, then you belong there and are a part of it. It does not matter in which region of this earth to be born, it is just a place. Your love and passion gives you a home and a connection. If I were Norwegian, may I call myself a Scot? After all, the vikings invaded scotland and left behind people today called robertson, anderson, and so on. Are also scots norwegian if they are called robertson. You are what your heart tells you to be, irish, english, scottish, german and so on. No matter where you were born. My opinion. If you're Anderson, you're not a Scot but a Norwegian or a Dane or a Swede. Nonsense, right? Your are feeling connected to scotland, so you are scottisch. You are what you feel connected to.

@TheMadScotsman mckay I cannot imagine how people lived there. In the days of the MacDonald clan and before... they were hardy people for sure!

Elaine Cochrane i love Outlander, i live in England and Outlander takes me home for an hour every week.

switzerland looks beautiful , i have never been there but i have been to Austria , the difference between places like Switzerland ,Austria and Scotland is the History of the people who lived in the enviroment of Scotland , a forgotten culture , long gone , fighting and toiling for thousands of years , rivalries , clans once populating the now empty Glens . That is where the raw emotion comes from I think , their spirits still linger in every Glen .

geoffdundee God bless him x

thankyou mate

My mum is part of the Macdonalds and my dad is part of the Campbell's

We are quite unique in Scotland. fiercly proud of our nation and civic nationalist outlook. That means we dont give a fuck about your race, gender, religion or your roots. If you want to live, work, contribute. If you make Scotland your home. To us that makes you Scottish.......

Maybe you've got some Scottish blood

@@gordonhutchison9647 Yes I do. . I have Scottish, Irish and Native American ancestry.

Thanks a lot for the comment 🙏

A Nat always comes along and spoil things.

albert mcmillan He’s just being positive about the place he lives, plus inviting others in and being accepting of them, is that so terrible? You’re the negative nancy here haha

It,s called Belonging to the land with a pride and passion , that i,ve felt awe ma life . especially when a go back to ma da,s side of the family home BALLACHULISH, orphaned to the Gateway to the highlands, well a wee village , whos Gillies played a part in history.

Thanks Johnny

I lived in England for 30 years and never once took a trip into the Highlands, Looks like I missed out, I live in the the US now and next month I'm traveling to Dalonegha Georgia and into North Carolina for a week, I can't wait.

I also live near the Blue Ridge, Warrenton, VA. Have absolutely loved my 3 visits to Scotland and can't wait to return!

James Carro thank you James, it was worth it absolutely. Cheers for watching! 🍻

It's great looking at Arran from the shore isn't it. Especially when it's covered in snow ..on a clear day.

Love your words man, can definitely relate 🙏🏼👍🏼
