Excellent video matey. I was up there on the bike, at roughly the same time as yourself. It was very busy with motorhomes, and white vans. I opted to wild camp, on a very secluded beach, on south west coast, at a place called Tokavaig. Stunning. Really need to get back up soon. The Eillan Donan castle, was used in the great movie, Highlander, with Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert. It truly is a stunning castle, amazing location, and my favourite castle by far. Thanks again for yet another cracking video. I’m off to watch episode 6 now.

When in Banchory, there is a rather splendid restored AA box at the side of the road. Some locals felt nostalgic and painted it up. Have a peek inside at all the 1950’s / 1960’s motoring memorabilia inside. Deeside is fabulous. My other recommendation for a day off the bike is to take your wife and daughters on a hike up Lochnagar. The views are spectacular and it’s well worth the effort.

Just finished my own trip to Skye and onwards up to Gairloch via Applecross. What a fantastic trip! Worth the effort from here where I am near Portsmouth. Watching your latest instalment only makes me want to jump back on and go back for another go. Like you I found accommodation expensive, my B&B was also £125 per night, but great quality. But £125 per night!!! Supply and demand I guess. Stayed 2 nights, so was able to tour the whole island. And I was lucky enough to have the unheard of tropical weather, most of my rides felt like I was in the Swiss Alps, not the far north Scotland.

He He I remember when there was no bridge and the only way across to Skye was by a small RoRo ferry from Lochalsh across the bay. Much better now the bridge has been built. Next time your up try Uig and take the CalMac to the Outer Hebrides, some lovely scenery to be had in North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist.

OK OK TMF!!! This is just not fair any more, I need to do Scotland again in good weather!!! What a fantastic trip you had in Scotland. I dida solo tour to Skye in 2004 in very similar weather and it's still one of the best motorcycling experiences I've ever had, despite having travelled the length and breadth of Europe since. If it's any comfort, I couldn't find accommodation on Skye either and, in desperation, I knocked on the door of a (full) B&B and asked if they knew of anywhere... The upshot was a night in a council house on an estate in Portree - The old dear that owned the place was lovely - and spoke fluent Gaelic. The breakfast was huge and staggeringly good, and the room very decent and clean. Total cost was £16 - incl breakfast! Curiously, the only hotel room I could find back then was £120/night too... Incidentally, these drone shots are bloody amazing. What drone and how many quids did you have to part with? Or have you done a video on it and I've missed it?

I filled up my camper at the same petrol station you did, near the Skye Bridge, but going in the opposite direction to you. I thought fuel on the Island would be much more expensive but it was the other way round and a miserbale women serving too. We went to the very top of Skye and on the way back climbed up to the Old Man of Storr, it was very wet and windy up there too, and in the clouds.

Loving the drone shots TMF, look forward to you getting some shots of it following you on the bike. Eilean Donan castle is stunning (BBC used it for an ad and I think it has been in a bond movie too) it was around 30 degs when I visited just over a week ago. The road from there to Loch Ness is brilliant fun and lots of cracking views.

Top stuff TMF, you're certainly selling the attraction of the western isles. Leaving the key in the ignition whilst taking photo's, not something you do very often I'd imagine.

Awesome stuff as per👍 Btw Eilan Donan was used in the highlander movies 👍 There’s also a Wee scenic fishing village called Plockton worth seeing not far from your non viewpoint stop . Looking forward to the next instalment 😀

Was up on Skye last week and did exactly the same route Stayed in the king's head which you drove past on the way to the bridge. Temp last week was 27oC. Crazy, nearly to hot for touring. All in all I did 4 days 1117 miles and 4 Ferries. Loved every minute. Will be back for sure.

TheMissendenFlyer paid only £79 for hotel and breakfast. Last bed on the island I was told. With the good weather a truly wonderful place.

You were right about the Western Isles, episodes 4 and 5 especially. The place truly doesn't disappoint. However, North Coast 500 still got a slight edge over it for me, it's the rugged beauty and inhospitable expanses of that northern part of the country (and in that weather too) that really gives me goosebumps. I guess you and I are just wired differently. hehe :) Btw awesome drone shots of the Skye bridge and surroundings in the sunset, you outdid yourself on that one. 👍

Quite a few of the sites you visited I remember from a trip me and a few mates did in 2003, the only difference was it was lashing it down most of the time. You were very lucky.

I love Scotland,did John O Groats while staying in Inverness a few years ago.Only gripe was all the sodding 4x4's on every road. Once my "flexy friends" have returned to positive flows I intend on chucking a tent on the back of the bike & doing a tour of some of the more remote areas(saving cash by "wild camping") Having been "brought up" on camping(mainly Yugoslavia)holidays,& scouts/cubs etc I have no issue with tents(regardless of weather)In actual fact,I spent 3-4 months living in a tent during winter as I'd had a falling out with the family. Really enjoying this series BTW,giving me ideas on where I might be tempted to venture. RSMF
