2:00 who needs diamonds and pearls when this shines for you every morning.

[@davidfellowes1628]

As a seafarer, I believe water access to the property will be key even if it is only at high tide. In fact your lives will hinge around the tides, which I assume are twice a day. From the few images you have shown us, there appears to be a rock causeway extending out from the shore in front of the house to the right side of the small island. When you look towards the mainland, to the right of this stone causeway there appears to be more water extending towards the house for a shallow draft boat to come much closer. This will be the only viable way to get bulky building materials on the site. So mapping the bay of it's water depths at low and high tide is a primary job.

[@TheScottishIsle]

We'll be saving up to get a boat we hope, as the sea will certainly be our highway!

[@MrTryxxter]

I had no idea sheep were so cheeky and playful, a real bundle of fun. They are just braw! Think they might become the stars of your channel ( if they aren't already) 😃

[@TheScottishIsle]

They are adorable, gentle, intelligent lassies. We love them.

@@TheScottishIsle 💖💖💖

[@flintliddon]

They are adorable. And tasty.

[@josssmith495]

Just discovered your channel - can I come and stay ❤

[@lynnhughes1713]

Absolutely brilliant what a difference and yes definitely a 3D effect, the quality and sound is great. Your transported to my living room or the other way round 😂. Love watching your channel 👍👍

[@amyjsinclair4220]

All the best to you both. If we're honest, we would all love to be brave enough to do this. It will be great following your progress.

[@Breanna7]

❤❤

[@angelique2653]

I love that you are restoring the cottage sympathetically in keeping with its origins. I love the fire inset you put in the bedroom. My late husband and I lived in an old cottage in rural Ireland for some years. I look back on that time as idyllic. We loved walking along the foreshore looking at the cormorants and oyster catchers. Good Luck! 💚💙💜

[@TheScottishIsle]

We have cormorants this year, apparently it's the first time they've been back for some time. Will try to get some on camera for you...although they're pretty flighty! Thank you for joining us and sharing. Kx

[@maryjo34779]

What a piece of heaven that you have found. Gorgeous country.

[@edinguy9585]

Ye are a couple of brave souls taking on this challenge, and I wish you awe the best in you’re endeavour , I think priority must be given to a boat and then a chainsaw, looking forward to following your journey.

[@blupoppy608]

I was thinking the same thing re: boat and how brave they both are.. But what an experience, total bliss :)

[@mnossy11]

You guys are so cute and the sheep too! So excited to see your homestead grow!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Aw, thank you so much for your support. 🤗

[@mkats5102]

Looking these videos. They are so relaxing! Anyone else curious who they are and what their background is?

[@grahamclements-turner1148]

Wishing all the best on your new chapter of your lives together! It is stunning and I’m so jealous.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you so much!!

[@lieuwina]

Your place is like a painting and it is beautiful. The sheep are lovely and they love following you around and the cat is so sweet.

[@ronbaird5515]

Some hens would give you fresh eggs each day and some chicks for later harvest. Also a sturdy pony like a shetland would haul the goods back and forward.

[@TheScottishIsle]

We are thinking about a pony for hauling! Could be a Highland would work well, too. Or the big sheep! Would love some hens, but would need to build them a sturdy run first as we have predators here...don't ask me how!

[@marylyon1230]

Perhaps a donkey pulling a hard acrylic sled to carry provisions and contruction elements in?@@TheScottishIsle

[@carlynwhite5561]

Ive been thinking about the Good Shepherd ever since I started watching your videos. Beautiful location! My husband and I spent our 25th anniversary on Skye, and fell in love with Scotland. It will be a pleasure to follow along. My dear, you need a good pair of gloves to protect those lovely hands! Enjoy, be good to each other, and let the Good Shepherd lead you. All the best from Texas!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you! We trust we're in Good Hands, here. Kx

[@janmitchell641]

I find your videos an island of calm in a stormy world, thank you. Wishing you well in your restoration project.❤️🇨🇦

[@marylyon1230]

I hope you set up a Patreon account, so many wealthy peeps out here in Neverland that have deep pockets and big hearts.

[@pfles1]

So calming to watch. Thank you for sharing!

[@darlenesmith2704]

Love the relic you found for the fireplace! Love your sheep, my daughter has 10. Enjoying your adventures!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ettakovalsky6551]

Thanks!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you very much! 🤍

[@curtisep5885]

❤ I pray for a wonderful future for you both. House completed with a large barn woodshed chickens and more sheep, perhaps ten or twelve little tykes running around😍 Possibly even a milk cow! Cheers

[@TheScottishIsle]

Wouldn't that be just amazing, God willing. Though, we do have a milk sheep already! Just hopefully need to get her to a ram...from the island...

[@hopebankston607]

Joining all the way from Texas here! We are enjoying your videos so much. They bring a sense of false peace for us in our 110 degree Fahrenheit heat. Ha! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you for supporting us! Great to have ya. I couldn't cope with that heat... 😅 Kx

[@hathorearthfyre]

Like you two, the mass of humanity overwhelms me. I found a little cottage in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, nestled in the redwoods with a river flowing by, but what you've found is perfect! If it weren't for the boats, it would be more than perfect. Lots of hard work ahead, but you need to stay healthy and that's the best way...wishing you all the luck!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you for your encouragement. We definitely need to get our sea legs sorted, and in time it'll become second nature. Though we will never take this blessing for granted. Like your profile pic, too! Our black cat Jeeves makes a brief appearance in Episode 04!

[@shellypontz4155]

Hello from the USA! What a beautiful place to live, I'm envious. The goats are precious companions, I have 3 dwarf goats, and they are as well.

[@ozgirl45]

Such a beautiful place! I’m horrified that kitchen garbage was just randomly dumped in the water.

[@TheScottishIsle]

It's shocking what they dumped. With time (and a boat!) we'd like to clear it up.

[@HolgerT]

The Zyliss parts belong to a portable small multi-purpose Aluminium vice. I still have one of those at home. They are from the 1970s.

[@cillamoke]

Dudes! The fire basket!!!❤❤❤

[@veselka16]

A dream. Wish I could be there. I'd help. Sweet sheep, lovely land, pretty flowers, so many treasures.

[@leonlowe]

I've watched all four of your videos and loved them all. Your video has excellent balance with appropriate music and just enough narration. I shall hope to follow your future adventures, and wish you success and happiness through the challenges that lie ahead. Greetings from Rockport, Massachusetts via South Queensferry and a few other places not nearly so interesting!

[@cillamoke]

Scores on the clamps!

[@DomingoDeSantaClara]

Better get chopping a mountain of wood before winter, you'll be surprised how much you get through and definitely not a job you'll want to tackle during the colder months. I used to have a pet ram that was our lawnmower and guard sheep rolled into one, any unwanted visitors that came in our front gate (we lived near a rugby stadium) soon regretted their poor decision, he loved coming into the kitchen every morning for a slice of toast before we headed off to work.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Goodness, that sounds familiar. This pair love their treats and are certainly early warning systems! We're so delighted how happy they are here, they're out eating and gazing across the water a lot of the time.

[@DomingoDeSantaClara]

@@TheScottishIsle my guy didn't have an early warning system, just head down and charge🤣

[@TheScottishIsle]

LOL

[@marypasco2213]

Tossing all that fire-starter & kindling. Build up s stockpile. Even small wood is useful.

[@kevinmountford4541]

The slipway is looking good to haul out the boat onto.

[@veemount3803]

Can really recommend a garden truck for hauling stuff over your track, much better than a wheelbarrow.

[@marylyon1230]

I have never seen such hauntingly beautiful scenery. It blows my mind. You have electricity? How is it that this remote island is wired for electricity? Are you the only residents on this island?

[@TheScottishIsle]

We're the only residents, and we have access to electric but I don't even know how it gets here!

[@dickdavidson3616]

Love how you capture the bird songs, so mellow. This channel is unique, going to be huge, you are positive hardworking lovely people!❤

[@TheScottishIsle]

You are so kind! Thank you.

[@Leslie77593]

The land looks so magical, best of luck on your new home, I really enjoy

[@David-my3uu]

Lovely spot for the sheep to roam around! Brie looks to be favoring her left front leg, though; how's that hoof? Or maybe she's just not used to this type of outdoors and still getting her balance and bearings!! Good luck!

[@TheScottishIsle]

They're certainly getting used to the terrain, and we have to trim their feet every month! We keep a close eye on them both. Sheep are terrible for twisting their legs, though, so we hope they'll continue to explore and stay sound. Thank you for your concern for them! :)

[@philipbrutz2175]

We have used a “Garden Way” cart for decades here in the USA. It has very large bicycle wheels that would be ideal for rolling over the rocks on the path to your house. I don’t know if they are available in the UK but you could probably build one yourself.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Great tip! Thank you.

[@urbankayaker]

just stumbled upon your channel and was enchanted by the landscape, the pace with which you present the material, the narration, and of course, the beautiful and very effective use of music. thankfully, there were three other episodes that i could watch to become fully engaged in your project and of course, wish you both all the success on this quite daunting project that you have taken on. like a number of other viewers, i find myself wanting to ask a few questions mostly about the logistics that you currently face. in no particular order, where is the source of the water that you have access to come from? is there electricity at the cottage and if so, is it from an underwater cable from the mainland? speaking of the mainland, i assume there is a ferry that you take across but does it allow you to take your car and if so, do you just leave it at the dock on your island and walk or take the quads the rest of the way. a boat of your own at high tide would definitely come in handy to haul things across the water directly to your cottage to avoid the trek from the dock. do you have another "home" that you can go back to or do you plan to stay on the island full-time while doing the renovations, especially come wintertime. i am sure that most of these questions will be addressed in subsequent episodes but i just thought that i would ask while they were on my mind. again, my congratulations and best of luck to the both of you (plus the sheep and cats, of course). p.s. the clamps that you found are swiss made aluminum clamps: (i.ebayimg.com/images/g/aVYAAOSwDA5kliLv/s-l1600.jpg )

[@TheScottishIsle]

We are finding people are asking for our backgrounds more and more, so we'll sit down and answer your questions very soon. Thank you so much for your interest!

[@jimm8682]

Definitely lovely and we bet winters are harsh, but no dough there will be lots of fun days and many hard working days for only two people, in the olden days people had large families to help with the chores of living in isolation. Nevertheless it’s a gorgeous part of the country.

[@Joshua-gm5ts]

What a wonderful environment, reminiscent of my youth in the Bay of Fundy. Might I suggest less footage of sheep and cat? Summer in Scotland reminds me of our (current) Winter on the farm in Uruguay! Wishes of the best fortune as we both progress amongst the wilds on our later life projects.

[@kathyevans2968]

The scenery is heavenly beautiful

[@liamperry7095]

Its great to see how fast your channel is taking off

[@mohumphries7149]

Hello folks,sorry don't know your names I'm so glad I came across you what a life your going to have and we all can watch you build your new home and see the beautiful island take care god bless ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thanks so much! x

[@nj4x4fever2]

Zyliss is a company that makes a lightweight hobby vise the two clamps you found are aluminum made in Switzerland from around the 1980’s I used to have one in my shed.

[@sbrock6385]

Thank you

[@emiishino5422]

Oyster mushrooms at 11:12, they are delicious!

[@lady00303]

That is a absolute dream to live there... oh my goodness..

[@deniereynolds6119]

It’s truly a magical place to live. When your clearing branches would it be more beneficial if a pile accumulated down by the water and burned.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Yes. We also have to seriously start thinking about gathering firewood for winter. So much to do! 🙈

[@ronbaird5515]

The dump we would call a midden. Very useful for finds

[@amme30]

Love the repair shop jokes!😅

[@TheScottishIsle]

FINALLY! Our first Repair Shop jokes comment. A kindred spirit! LOL

[@allonesame6467]

Good find that firebox! Lovely! Thank you for all you share!

[@marriettecharlton2143]

Thank you for the beauty and serenity of your videos ❤

[@tinavidales4510]

🙄 What a Tossed find in the moss!!…. 1760 something….. 😲….. EXTRAORDINARY!! 😍

[@dcimedic]

I don’t know if they sell them in the UK but a folding deer cart with bicycle tires would work well over your rough terrain.

[@lpeterman]

Just a thought: if you aren't going to use that dried wood debris for firewood, (16:20 mark) why not build a few "bio-dens"? (structured slash piles.) The island bird life and small critters will investigate immediately and perhaps move into the new digs. I build them every time I thin a stand of trees, using the slash, ("brash" I believe in your slang) to build up a loosely structured "Critter-condo." You'll be pleasantly surprised at the diversity of both flora and fauna attracted to it. Cheers from the Willamette Valley, Oregon

[@janel4582]

That firebox is a beauty!

[@MarkKoekenbakker]

Have I stumbled upon the beginning of a very nice new vlog series? In any case, what I've seen so far is promising. Two tips: - Make it more personal, tell us who you are and how you experience it. - I'm looking at it from the Netherlands, my English is okay, a Scottish accent is no problem either. But if there are also loud driving noises or background music that is too loud, it becomes difficult to follow. Pay attention to that and consider investing in some good microphones with wind shields. And then I will probably enjoy you a lot and I might become a fan! :)

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you Mark! We have a lot of saving and investing to do, so in time we hope to be able to achieve these things. Thank you for following us!

[@mistydawncreates]

Thank you for introducing the sheep. They are fun to watch. I was so excited to hear you spin. As an avid crocheter, I'm all about the wool. Love hearing the background on the animals. Sad that so much was just thrown into the sea. Why anyone would cover up stone is beyond me. I hope there isn't much to repairing the damage. What a find for the bedroom fireplace. It's beautiful. However the depth of the fireplace seems quite short. Building a fire will become an artform insuring little smoke makes it's way to the bedroom. Do you need fire in the day? What's the temperature day/night. Do you feel like you've been roughing it/ like camping?

[@TheScottishIsle]

We don't need daytime fires yet, but we could still use them for keeping the interior dry as it's quite damp. We've enough comfort that it doesn't feel like camping, but that might change with the major work beginning!

[@adds91]

The fire basket is beautiful

[@schiehallion1737]

Your channel appeared in my feed so I've just binge watched your few videos whilst eating my breakfast. The setting is glorious, whatever the weather. I look forward to watching your progress. Made me smile as Katie cleared trenches, tore down & rebuilt walls, Scott threw bits of tree aboot the place & mud-larked! 😄😄 It's a sturdy wee trolley you've got there for bringing down your old fire basket, but is it possible to bring larger bits & bobs across by boat...Looked like you've got a wee jetty there, of sorts? Orrabest.

[@MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead]

If only....if only. I've watched all your videos you have posted thus far and I'm also in love with the place. I am not sure how it was recommended, but it was, and I am so glad that I clicked on it. It is a dream of a place and worth the hard work. As they say, "in a heartbeat if given half the chance."

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you for coming along with us!

How many cords of firewood will you have to chop and store for the coming winter? Will you be snowed in? Love watching your adventure. What a beautiful corner of the world you have found for yourselves and the sheep and cats.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Shouldn't get too much snow here, just the odd dusting, but we'll find out!

[@marylyon1230]

Can you tell us the temps in each vlog? Curious to know how your weather influences how you live, work and dress. I notice you are both wearing layering clothing, so must be chilly. @@TheScottishIsle

[@TheScottishIsle]

It's summer so, we're hovering around 17 Celsius on average. Winters aren't too bitter where we are as the salty ait tends to stop frost forming. And yes, layers are the knack to it!

[@ijpeandcorrievandijken9082]

As some other commenters we came across one of your videos because it was suggested by KZbin. We watched all your videos and subscribed, as we would like to follow the developments concerning the challenge you have taken on this summer. We did a similar thing many years ago with an old Irish farmhouse. By the way, concerning the soot staining of the stone of the chimney of your house: it is the result of the soot remains in the chimney. It is like an oily substance, especially when it gets wet when the chimney cools. This stuff kind of drains into cement and stone to become visible at the outside. It was the same in our cottage.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Great to know, thank you. We hope to get the place dry by winter and to be able to heat the place with the fireplaces. As you will know, damp is the biggest issue and we will still live inside while we do each room! 🙈

[@cooperization]

So enjoying this.I did a very similar project with a old croft in Assynt a few years ago.Hard graft,frustration,unexpected issues,laughs,satisfaction etc etc. But Loved it--i 'm sure you are going to feel exactly the same--looking forward to following you,take care.

[@catherinebeaudry5661]

[@ritahobbs5256]

What beautiful scenery… love watching, sooo relaxing… for me anyway 😊

[@TheScottishIsle]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Might I suggest that you aquire a small to mid size boat with a tilting outboard engine to transport your deliveries from town to your home. That is what we do. I live on my sailboat and anchor out as much as possible. So when we need anything, we travel by dinghy to town to pick up items and return to the sailboat again. That 1/4 mile trek of a goat path looks rather dangerous. 🧐

[@BaschtlerKnecht]

Keep on! Best channel for a long time!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Wow, thanks!

[@suzannerobertson416]

So many comments, hope you get to read mine and reply. Have yet to watch all the videos as just found you. Not long back from Scotland on a holiday in the Highlands, saw Highland Games at Nethy Bridge. 2 questions 1) What made you both go and live on an island with just the two of you living on island, how did you find the island etc 2) What is the line of work you both in as to be able to work on a island with just the two of you living there? I don't do Instgram so if you have answered these questions there I am so sorry I am unable to read anything there. Loving your channel and amazed it is so new and you have so many people following you already

[@TheScottishIsle]

Many thanks for your interest in our fledgling channel. This Saturday's (19/08/2023) episode should cover all of the questions we're unexpectedly garnering about our past, present and future plans on the island. Oh, and we read all of your comments and questions.

[@suz7196]

It's a shame we don't see more of the work that has been done. The cottage in the first video looked derelict and yet from this you can see the bedroom and passage seem to be in a good enough condition to lived. Beautiful scenery but it would just have been nicer to see how things are being done.

[@TheScottishIsle]

We are filming this in real time as we go along. It's not derelict by any means, but the interior is just the same as in the other videos - we have to live here while we do the work, so it won't be a quick job! Baby steps. :)

[@123boat]

Your slipway at the end of the video is screaming out for a new boat 🚤.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Och, we know! We're dying to find a local with a boat they don't actually want! 😂

[@123boat]

@@TheScottishIsle I’m sure you’ll get one. Keep an eye out for boat auctions. We had one recently on the south coast. The harbour authority puts them up for sale when the owners fail to pay their harbour dues and just leave them lying about. Good luck with your search 👍😊
