This brought back memories of childhood as I holidayed here in the very early 60’s, in a rural village called Tolsta Chaolish when I was 5 or so. We kids were feral then 😂. It was all very rural and remote. Google maps shows the house my sister built is still there, plus Old Annie’s Place also known as the post office, and the home of my sisters mother-in-law is also still there though modernized. Memories. Not all good but Lewis is stunning. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. 🥰

Enjoyable and educational, that's what I like to hear! Scottish place names can be impossible for us too at times, especially if it's a Gaelic name.

Another superb video which is so relaxing to watch, it was over too quickly! We had recently returned from a trip to Skye, Harris and Lewis and briefly, Wester Ross at the end of September. Harris and Lewis has left a lasting impression on me with its breath taking scenery, so it was great to see yourselves visiting places we'd just been to. The weather was mixed but didn't distract from the beauty of the place. We most certainly will return as 5 nights was just not enough. I'm now looking forward to your Skye video. Thank you both.

Thanks, Steven! Yeah, drone use usually depends on how often we can charge batteries. On this trip we could charge in the car while driving, and we bought a fourth battery as well.

These days we have a DJI Air 2s instead of the Mavic Air, the Sony camera and lenses remain the same as described in the blog post.

Outstanding and truly inspirational. The photography is beautiful and meditative. I now really want to go there next summer! Your commentary, as ever, is engaging and fun. (Oh.. I do worry that newbies to the Channel will think that they're going to get an hour of scenery and more scenery, not realising that halfway through will be this opportunity to meet you in such an enjoyable and personable way. I wonder if the title really needs the addition of... 'we tell you all about the trip in the second half!'..? I worry that people just watch a bit then go away, not realising that there's this great bit yet to come. For me, both the trip video and the commentary are equally good, but for very different reasons. Anyway... a great job... thank you both!
