I was on skye last week, it was too busy with traffic and people. so left and headed to the east coast of Scotland. But i will be visiting skye again later in the year out of season, when its less busy. In all my travels in Scotland, i have never encountered the midges.

Hi Guys Great video as usual brings back memories of Skye one of our favourites is the Skeabost House Hotel. Many moon s ago we rented a but an ben very close to it and dined in the public bar which had the same quality of food as the main hotel. A few years later we stayed in the hotel for a few nights and we can recall that the Skye Bridge was in the construction phase. The ferry was a treat in the old days! These were the days of the 88 BMW 316 2 door! Regards Crawford from a very wet West Sussex coast today

Old aged Pensioners, you two are hilarious 😂 😃 😄 great to see you out and about, and as for those Midges, we've got a great repellant...we will give you some when we see you 😊 as we are bringing over loads of it, for our trip to Skye

I'm willing to bet the noise was a boulder cracking off and falling. They make a terrifyingly loud bang beyond expectation.

Love Skye, one of my favourite places - have you been to the two flat top mountains near Dunvegan? We have camped, with our children and in later years taken our Motorhome - we tend to visit every 3/4 years because we love it so much. Thank you for your videos - love them.

How funny! I stayed at that spot by Sligachan just 10 days ago and it was the only place we found that was midge free 😂 The wee falls there make a lovely dip as well. I wonder if you guys have done Spar cave yet? That's next on the Skye bucket list for us. 😊

Aw lucky you 😂 we visited spar cave when we went to get photos for the book. Very cool place just be careful with the tide ☺️

Hey there, big fan of your vlogs. We bought your NC500 book last year and planned a lot of our trip from it. This year we are heading uo again but adding in Isle of Skye and i was wondering, if you are able to tell us how to get to that little pool spot that you both got in please? 😊
