If you're considering doing this same hike, please ensure you have the correct equipment and are ready for all weather conditions. While I was lucky with sunny weather, remember that in Scotland, the weather can change quickly and conditions can turn dangerous. Knoydart is a very remote and isolated place and there is no phone network for the majority of the hike.

Ruth, on the subject of hiking equipment, in my part of the world, we insist on taking a hiking staff when going away from a well trodden path. You could twist an ankle or worst still, break a leg. In those cases, a staff with a good piece of thin rope can save your life in a remote location and provide assistance. Also, again in my location, a staff can ward off a snake or some suchlike.

What you were looking at, 23.51 on the video, they are dollop mounds created by a 360 ° digger (usually), it is ground preparation for planting tree seedlings, the seedling is planted on the dollop, it gives the seedling a chance to establish before the grass, bracken or rushes choke the young tree out.

As a boy I was always told to filter water before drinking it. My science teacher’s brother died after drinking water from a stream. Upon investigating the cause, a dead sheep was found up stream from where he drank. When I saw Ruth drink the water I thought about that, then when she showed us the dead deer later, it just reinforced the point. You can get bottles with filters, definitely better to be safe. Besides the gloom, I never knew about this place-I wonder if a mountain bike can get along that path? If you can catch the weather this would be perfect.

I did this walk with my Fell Terrier about 20 years ago. The bothy was much more basic in those days. Met some guys there who were climbing the local hills, other than that did not see any one on the trail. The first day was good weather, the second day it was very wet. Walked to the pub and had a beer before getting on boat back to Mallaig. I certainly recognise parts of the trail - it was a good trip down memory land.

Deer will attack people. It is very rare. It almost always happens during the rut and almost always when people get too close to the bucks during the rut. Give them space during the rut and you won’t be bothered. I have the original Jet Boil and love it for heating water and have used it a couple of times for a stew. It will hold the propane can, burner assembly, and the stand The smaller one does seem to have a packing issue. I use freeze dried food packs for the back country. Having said all that. This was a fantastic video. I really enjoyed the scenery and your commentary. Beautiful places.

Hi Ruth, what an adventure. I think stag deer can be dangerous during the rutting season but generally I think that the most danger from a deer is running into one in your car The most dangerous animal in the wild Highlands is the Haggis. For goodness sake don't walk with an open bottle of whisky as the smell can drive a flock into a feeding frenzy. This happened to my uncle Angus. All they found in the morning was his sporran 😮

What a beautiful area. We did the Three Munro’s on offer along this route saving Ladhar for the return journey. We had beautiful weather then. The deer at the campsite are the most tame deer I have seen in Scotland and yes the males can attack people during rutting season so stay clear of them during this time. Only recently found your channel on u tube. A great story/job you’re doing here. Thanks and Good luck.

Hi Ruth Your videos are obviously aimed at an international audience and as such are excellent adverts for the beauty of Scotland. I have walked and climbed all over this beautiful country for almost 50 years but must confess to not having yet walked from Kinlochhourn to Barrisadale. I have however been to Inverie and the Knoydart area by boat on several occasions. You were lucky with the weather and I would advise anyone attempting this walk to take the proper equipment. There are plenty of videos reviewing suitable equipment. The jetboil stash is an expensive bit of kit but does what it says on the tin. Not sure why you had issues with it. I have drunk water from mountain streams for years with no ill effects up until a couple of years ago when I picked up a severe case of cryptosporidium. There are many water filters available although TBH high in the mountains the water is pretty clean. Deer are very unlikely to attack you highland cattle with young calves are a more likely threat. Also despite use of GPS and various apps it is advisable to have a detailed map and compass and know how to use them. Finally there are plenty of dehydrated meals available which are very light to carry any good outdoor store will have a range of them to buy.

Hello from New England Ruth, you were so cute wondering about deer attacks. A buck [with the antlers] might chase you if he thought you to be threatening, but deer are gentle creatures. That cow that you thought seemed aggressive in another video, was probably thinking that you had a treat. I was once surrounded by a flock of sheep where I lived in the Appalachian hills of SW Virginia, but they'd smelled the bucket of alfalfa pellets I was bringing to my rabbits. They got a few nibbles but didn't manage to knock me over. I love your travel videos Ruth. My Irish American wife & I spent our October 2000 honeymoon in Eire & were stunned by the beauty of the island & its inhabitants. We will someday travel to the territory of Scotland with your videos as our guide, Thank you for all your efforts!

I’ve done the walk from Kinloch Hourn to Barrisdale and back twice, staying at the bothy 2 nights each time, with the aim of climbing Ladhar Bheinn, the most westerly Munro on the Scottish mainland - didn’t manage it the first visit, which is why I had to go back a second time. I found the hike from Kinloch Hourn really strenuous - that little burn you found so easy was in spate at the time and quite tough to cross. And Barrisdale Bothy is a great place. I’d love to go back, but probably beyond me now 😢

There was a horrible incident in my village about 10 years ago when a holidaymaker accidentally cornered a stag in the garden of her holiday cottage late at night. The stag charged at her and she was partially disembowelled. She survived, but spent many months in hospital.

Sometimes using a repellent in areas now aswell as it saves continuously having to replace the trees with those methods. And the ‘Burroughs’ (heehee 😅) are mounds for the new trees to be planted on. Sometimes known as restock sites and replacing dead or eaten trees is often called a beat up. Thanks for sharing another great video on your amazing journey 🙏🏻

A couple of tips: Red Deer are potentially the most dangerous wild animal in Britain. Although they're usually docile and timid, like cattle, they will fiercely defend their young, so never get between a cow and her calf or a deer and her fawn - in fact, avoid areas where there are cows with calves at foot, or stags during the rut. For midges, the best defence is Avon's 'Skin So Soft.' It's so effective, even the Army use it!

I’ve stayed at many bothies over the years and I’ve never seen one where they charge you. That’s an odd development. The jet boil was really designed to simply boil water quickly and that’s it. It wasn’t really designed to simmer and when you put it away instead of just putting the parts into the pot, make sure you wrap them in a paper towel or something to keep them from rattling around because they will scratch off the surface and then you’ll expose your food to the toxic aluminum.

As regards our deer species. There is very little possibility of a person being attacked, except in the rutting season, where people have been attacked by Red Deer stags. Most attacks have been in enclosed areas. The Red Deer rutting season is Sept-Nov, and unless you approach a rutting stag or the area where they are rutting, there's very little chance of attack. Having said that, outside the rutting I have had Red Deer stags turn, face me and stare at me, when I've taken them by surprise, but each time, it has just been a bluff. There is next to no chance of being randomly attacked.

Deer will attack if that is the right word when and if they are startled. I was involved in a rough shoot one day driving a line through broom and gorse and a herd of roe deer were disturbed and some got disorientated and charged the line which could have been dangerous. There was an instance a few years back where a Stag was startled in someones garden I think they were coming home from an evening out and an antler pierced the woman's neck to her severe injury. I think unless they were protecting a fawn you would be safe enough on a hill walk otherwise.

Very much enjoy hiking/camping videos from the UK, discovered your channel and had to subscribe. The scenery is incredible and your commentary on the history of the areas you explore adds to the enjoyment. New subscriber from the USA.

Fabulous walk with beautiful views. I must admit I couldn’t do that alone as I would be too scared that I would get injured and stranded. Well done Ruth.

Fantastic scenery. Don't blame you for overindulging in the whiskey. I was introduced to the 10-year Arran while in Inverness last year. It is excellent. Shame I haven't been able to find it in my own country. Guess I'll have to go back...

@@ruthaisling I'm in Nashville, Tennessee. Did another internet search after writing that post, made a phone call this morning to confirm, and will be stopping by a local store today to pick up a bottle of the 10-year Arran. Will drink a toast to you after dinner tonight! Thinking about going back to Scotland in October, although many hotels and B&Bs seem to close at the end of September.

the dead deer is a reminder that even flowing water in the hills might not be safe to drink! animals don't think like we do when they go to the loo either! Been enjoying your videos recently, makes me want to do a trip back up to Scotla

Another wonderfully serene hike Ruth, and beautiful scenery. Hard to believe that Scotland was once covered with trees. They disappeared through history for various reasons., mainly for agriculture and the latest swath was the Highland Clearances (1750 - 1860). During that time, wealthy land owners (mainly English) cleared lands for sheep grazing, fueling the wool industry and profits during the rise of the industrial revolution. Deer are always a problem, as they love to eat young trees and their 'shoots,' and no, they don't attack people unless you try to restrain or corner them!

Oh Ruth that has taken me back. I sailed into knoydart and stopped in the same bunkhouse. I walked on same path but in an opposite direction to do 2 Munro’s. Check out the old forge inn, thinks it’s run by the community now. Read about the story about when the drug bust got done. Speed boats went rushing into there. I forget what the monument was but l did pass it. Deer just be careful in the rutting season. And the cape wrath trail is a beast. 2 weeks minimum l think weather permitting. As always stay safe and thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories 🙏
