Great video about the wonderful Isle... such a fantastic place to visit and explore

Another top episode

Go Gretna!!!

🕊️🙏🏼namaste Sylvia 🕉️

Well done! ⚔

Great 1st episode

Mon the Gretna! ⬜️⬛️ I need to see that full time reaction from yesterday ASAP 😂

Will you be at Raydale on saturday ? we’re getting loads of lads there with flags 💪 building up a fan base

Great to see these small communities thrice after they buy ( from what I understood ) the land they live on and work on. Come to think of it, as a foreigner, it's hard to wrap my head around one entity ( real estate company ? Local landlord, head of a wealthy clan dating back way back when? ) owning a whole island, where dozens if not hundreds of people have lived for decades. Keep up the good work & the community there

Having spent a few nights in Eigg earlier this year I agree it’s a special place and people. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories and portraying the island so well.

How much is the ferry charges for 1 car? Thanks

A truly peaceful place. Amazing!!❤❤

🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

Book a tour with the wonderful Mostly Ghostly team - if you dare!!!

Its another reason why the english don't want Scotland to be Independent ? Think of the uncommon beauty of the area. , think of the abundance of natural resources , think of the tourism money flooding into the english treasury perpetually , helping to continually regenerate London and the preferential SE ! Ah ,those english are not so silly ..are they ?

Been Northumberland born Forster and a decendant of Reviers I like this

The times I went to Mallaig I went by ordinary train but fell in love with Mallaig as soon on arrival

Great video. I have been there. Very beautiful.

Packed a lot of information into a short time. I found it all very interesting. Cheers!

Great to see Gretna were able to rebuild at Raydale Park and now have a route to potentially return to the Scottish League. I went there when they played in the English pyramid, and was delighted when they made it to the SFL. Sadly after one season Mileson came in and took the club completely out of control.

EK also has one of the best diesel engine repair and maintenance companies in Scotland: Argyle Diesel. There is no job they cannot do and at a very reasonable price! Bill

Look forward to following the progress in your next videos. Good to see someone else highlighting the lower leagues in Scottish football (and another team that play in black and white stripes).

I am there at 5:14

Welcome 🤝

Great video

I lived in EK from 1960 until 1988. All my schooing was in the town and it was a nice, safe place to grow up. Since moving away I have only been back a handful of times and I have to say that with every visit I grow increasingly shocked at the state of the place. Under the control of EK Development Council it prospered but almost from the moment South Lanarkshire Council took over it went into a spiral of decline from which I doubt it will recover. I have lots of wonderful memories of my time there but I have to say nothing would persuade me to move back having seen the deterioration I witnessed during my most recent visit.

are they accepting new families?.....big families of 9, and everyone can work except Jedidiah who is only a few months old.

Great fun, Jonathon! And it ain't nay party without the Boys in Skirts wid da Pipes and Drums! 😜😊👍👍

What a great event - it exceeded all my expectations. I think everyone should appreciate the incredible amount of work that Stuart and other members of the committee put into this. Months and months of planning. Thank you to everyone who participated in the film and to Jamie Grant for the great drone footage.

... and then drive all the way back again.

Love mallaig youst to get a ferry boat out to the isle of canna in my younger days to study the sea bird colonies with the boys from drumnadrocht great memories cheers vicars 😊

There is more than one ferry to Skye. The Glenachulish runs across the Kylerea narrows which is the old drovers route.

Love the boat trip you showed from Mallaig to inverie, beautifully done.! Can you tell me what the music is.? I've just started watching your videos, EXCELLENT !!😊

SpendingThree nights in Mallaig in early July. Hoping to visit Eigg and maybe squeeze in a wee jaunt over to Armadale on Skye. Thanks for the short Eigg insight.

Just stumbled across this video, what a breath of fresh air! So beautiful and peaceful. I do hope it doesn't go the same way as all other quiet little villages that suddenly grow and become the opposite of what they used to be. Remote, quiet villages will only attract those who really want to be there and who truly value what they find.

In 2004 while home in Edinburgh from Redcliffe Queensland i decided to go up to Mallaig for a few days, when i was at the train station in Glasgow i got talking to a lass from Coolum Queensland which is about 60 miles north of where i live. Anyway we had a talk on the train while heading north .And she said to me she was going to work in the pub at Knoydart for 6 months, she had never poured a beer before but the pub owner said she will learn in a couple of days , she was about 32 and said it was the last time she could work in Scotland. heres hoping the lass had a great time while there . Duncan Pitkeathly.

20 years ago my Fell terrier and I hiked across the peninsula - the day we walked into the village was in torrential rain - walked into the pub there for a quick beer before catching boat back to Malliaig. I seem to remember it was precarious getting on/off the boat with a heavy sack and a dog under my arm. I remember seeing lots of abandoned houses probably part of highland clearances - was a magic place back then - hope the magic has not been lost

Brilliant part of the world, Stunning scenery visited there years ago and would love to go back

It looks lovely indeed. Like it's on the far side of the world. Good thing you indicated that it rains a lot there, with what you've shown on that video, could've easily fooled me. Great job as usual

We have a similar monastery in Bylakuppe India. For Tibetan refugees it is a home away from home.

I`ve lived most of my life in EK and still have great affection for the town; I must agree with another posting on here - South Lanarkshire Council have presided over the town`s decline. My father worked for the development corporation and was involved with building much of the housing and several of the public buildings.

lovely memories from 2013, when I did a kayak tour of the small isles and the highlight was stopping in the cafe and walking the beautiful island.

Those terraced lockup garages look like a Romanian ghetto. They need demolished

Probably one of the only new towns in Scotland that became a success story. I quite like it there, there are a good number of local amenities and attractions, very friendly people, good services. Reminded me a bit of some of the schemes here in Dundee. People wrongfully tar these towns as being soulless because they lack the history and identity long-established settlements have, but we must remember that all towns start out like this. New towns have also produced a lot of culture. To name a few, Billy Connoly was born in Cumbernuald and former captain of Rangers, Ally McCoist, was from East Kilbride. Rome wasn't built in a day. You make your own history. The Dollan Aqua Centre is my particular favourite. Japanese 'brutalist' architecture resembles more the retro futuristic utopian vision they were going for known as metabolism. The V&A in Dundee (although my feelings on it are mixed) is beautiful in it's design. The concrete panelling combined with the odd shape makes it look like a spaceship has landed on the waterfront. This is the kind of image that British brutalist architects of the '50s and '60s were going for. Most of the time, it doesn't translate from pen to paper. The SKARNE blocks in Whitfield became a crime and poverty-infested nightmare and got demolished within 30 years. A big reason why I think the Aqua Centre and the V&A look so good in comparison to other brutalist buildings is because they still resemble the artistic symmetry of traditional buildings while incorporating modern design and material. That's a big philosophy of Kengo Kuma's work. He makes concrete look as light and gentle as wood through his use of natural design. They aren't just daunting concrete boxes that penetrate the sky like multis. It needs to blend in and resemble natural shapes we see and use. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office looks stunning. That's what a lot of these new towns are missing. Everything looks dull and grey.
