There are people who come in on a channel and binge watch to catch up. 😂 I’m one of them. Good idea to manage the episodes. ❤ you guys.

[@TheBlueMoo]

Same. Was worth it, too. Every episode! 😅

[@christiancelticwarrior1222]

Please like, comment and share this beautiful channel and help out a baby lamb 🐑

Thank you, God bless. Kx

[@tricial4330]

💞💞💞💞💕🐑🐑🐑!! So sweet to see the "girls" meeting the newest family member!! Welcome little one!! Can't wait to see you grow! Lucky little lamb!!

[@katep23]

Love the lamb, and totally agree with your hard decision to cut back a bit - but fully agree you need to do what you need to do. Good luck and I'll be watching whatever you provide! Thank you both, from the Central Belt in Scotland!

[@leed206]

When I watch a video I click the like button, so I know what I've seen. Works for me.

[@melaniehoshall6942]

Never let perfect get in the way of good enough.

[@lauralewis9106]

FYI: I DID go back and watch from the beginning, Love the Monty Python references. I have never EVER seen two people work harder than you two. I visited Scotland in 2015. We even were in Fort William. SUCH a beautiful country! I love it so much. One teensy suggestion, when you order something expensive, why not have it delivered to Katie's mum, rather than get it lost or mis delivered time and time again? I know she is far away, but probably at a more standard address and easier for the post to handle. I admire you both so much and Katie's voice and accent are so soothing. I've started calling broken things "gupt" here in NJ. I'll probably start getting some pretty strange looks! Love The Scottish Isle. The place and it's people!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank-you, Laura!

[@JohnGlenwright-lb2zy]

Another very interesting video ,how contented Shauna looked she will be a star shortly .

[@mr.underhill7072]

Thank you! 😉

[@carolineleonard8214]

All your animals are living their best life. Their environment, welfare, and indeed every aspect of their care is top notch. Sooooo content.

[@jimileekelso9120]

The introduction to the sheep was the most wholesome and wonderful thing I've seen in a long time. ❤

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤️The new lamb is just the perfect addition to your little tribe!❤❤❤

[@ehpeachylove]

I was away from home due to my mother passing but I’ve slowly been watching all the videos I missed and think you are both a great team, couple, funny as h, and I binged watched from beginning when I fist found you. The baby lamb is adorable and Shawna is a sweet name. Hope I spelled that correctly. I’m sorry you’ve had such a hassle getting the camera. I’d been PO’d too. You did a good job on the fence considering what you have to deal with. Your sheep are so good and Bree is quisical about the steamers but hopefully they both get used to it. Enjoy your channel very much. Take care. ❤❤

[@johnroesch5704]

I love your videos. Im 53 and just lost my husband. I so enjoy watching kate and scott joking with each other. U two always make me laugh. So thank you. Good luck with your new little lamb . Sincerely erin ogg.

[@paularichardson5849]

Oh my!! I'm loving the herb boxes! Great job !!

[@PMPatte]

You can remove rust and corrosion from tools by soaking them in vinegar and water overnight, then scrub with a wire brush. When as clean as you wish, oil to prevent future rust.

[@karenbradley8851]

Love the fact that you have pet sheep. The baby lamb is so cute. Yes what a responsibility. Katie just love your narratives.

[@lilybats7215]

💖💖Oh.. that little lamb!! 💖💖

[@AlanBlack13]

My wife and I started watching your channel a month or two ago and have absolutely fallen in love with the two of you and your life! We’re here, ready to watch all the content you’re willing to make. From this American with Scottish roots, thank you both for sharing your lives with everyone else. ❤

[@heathermcrobert9779]

During your walk, there is a wall all through your walk. Why is there a wall so long there. Love the little lamb.

[@TheScottishIsle]

It's an ancient boundary wall. Marking out someone's land from long ago.

[@maryanneendeman2073]

Hello from northern California! 😊 I love your channel! It's so relaxing for me because I can unplug and enjoy the serenity of where you live. I love your new little lamb! What a cutie!😍🐑

[@elizabethcummings2283]

Love you both. Hello from Michigan

[@shelleycorcoran9514]

Shona is adorable 🥰

[@Harris70-70]

What a wonderful episode. Pine Marten and Shona the new lamb were lovely to watch . Especially loved watching Shona greeting the other sheep , melts your heart 😊Great job on the window boxes , Katie , you and Scott are very talented and enjoy watching you on the beautiful Scottish Isle each week . Look forward to the next episode.

[@JohnIrwin-rw8zi]

The little animal running about is a pine Martin 😊

[@piatheiltoft67]

Shauna you are so cute you are in the best of hands with your new family ❤

[@amyfaith2350]

an otter, a mink? Love it! Oh, a badger!

[@StBridgit]

Pine marten.

[@Rescueluv]

I am a big fan of Martin the one eyed pine Martin. I read they are elusive and can nest in trees, nests, rocks. They were nearly extinct and now coming back. Iam blown away you get to have such close encounters. Yes Scott I loved that movie. I wonder if he has a mate as young born in may . Scotland pine Martin site tells me this. I was also blown away at the wall Scott walked. How much labour would have gone into that. Not surprised if a grave or cairn. Hope you are writing a history along with you beautiful photos. Videos of your isle as find things. Very very special. I hope one day to see Martin with a green shoe. The mystery revealed.

[@rosschamberlain1823]

A wonderful addition to the family. And thank you so much the both of you for sharing your lives and experiences.

[@brendakilberg5727]

Shona the sheep is so adorable! The mystery and intrigue of your island never ceases to amaze me!

[@evelynclifford2180]

Love your pet sheep

[@jeb3415]

I wonder if the analytics take into account the time of year on various continents… my utube viewing time drops during spring and summer as outdoor chores and adventures take my time. You have a lovely channel and honestly it seems the oddest things cause a channel to ‘blow up.’ I watched the hoof gp for years barely able to understand his Scot’s accented English and I’ve never owned a dairy cow in my life. In the end I think so much is the personality of the person(s) putting their story out there, the story itself PLUS time. As in exposure and as in maybe longer journal videos in the winter months v shorter (more frequent?) during summer months where you are kept in our minds with updates etc. For me, consistency helps- my go-to channels publish on a regular schedule. Just some thoughts on the subject, as a viewer.

[@TheUnnur81]

Welcome to the world little beautiful Shauna ❤

[@joyceglaister2086]

Hi just watched episode 70 and love it being longer. Shona is gorgeous and loved the pine Martin. Shared on Facebook. Brilliant! 🐏🐑🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@Barneysma]

Someone worked incredibly hard to build that boundary wall, it goes on forever! I wonder why it was so important. Did the island belong to several different families? Your podcasts are really enjoyable.

[@bobettearmour5994]

I love all of your posts. I Especially enjoy the scenery set to music. I am one who binged all episodes when I found you.

[@girlnorthof60]

I went back and viewed all the episodes (a few each evening) within weeks of subscribing. Your content is so good in each one. Adorable, I will enjoy watching Shona's sweet personality develop as she grows. Pat, Yukon/Canada ❤x

[@TheScottishIsle]

Wow, thank you!

[@celi4887]

Congrats on your new wee babbie! ❤

[@user-dt6tc1qr9d]

The little lamb is cute and I like the window boxes you made Katie. Scott you love roaming round the island and discovering new parts to show us thanks.

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

I have a can of WD40 as well. It's particularly useful on my door hinges. Squeaks drive me mad...not that that's a long trip! Between 1890 and 1920 the border lands of Wyoming and Colorado saw numerous conflicts between sheep ranchers and cattle ranchers competing for grazing and water. It was a bloody and contentious conflict that saw as many as 100,000 sheep killed by hired gunmen working for cattle ranchers. In the U.K. it might take a single acre to raise one cow. In Wyoming it takes about five acres. Cattle ranchers at that time were not willing to share the land.

[@susieheckles]

Welcome little Shona … such a sweet lucky lamb 🩷 (head butting her reflection in the fridge 🤣). Window boxes are perfect! x

[@headron66]

Shona the sheep, she’s a wee beauty. I have a sister called Shona so won’t forget the name❤

[@JTTW1455]

Well Shona is an adorable wee lamb! What fun.

[@denniseleismer8965]

So excited for you getting your new lamb! I am slightly jealous. I am a spinner and knitter. Can’t wait to see the shearing episode, hopefully you will have one.

[@jeanieallison4899]

Hi from Calgary- love your channel!🇨🇦

[@Maya-ux3ye]

Wish I can hug that baby lamb! Love you all from Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦

[@marylyon1230]

It was so precious to see your two sheep come over and greet her.

[@marionbartley214]

Hello Katie and Scott, congratulations I'm getting your new little baby lamb shashona. She is so sweet, it's like having a brand new born baby. Lots of lost hours of sleep and constant care. But it will all be worth it as she grows. Katie I like your flower boxes with herbs. I'm sure they will all grow to be plentiful and yummy. Scott thank you for taking us on the tour on the island It's always wonderful to see where you go and what you find. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you.

[@gwencrosswhite9329]

What a sweet little lamb. She’s in very good hands. Those herb window gardens turned out great Katie. The sleeping sheep with the music box music made me howl with laughter 😂

[@robinmoore5181]

😊 she is sweet. We the jumping. All of the work you both done is done with so much love, and it shows. ❤

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

What an adorable addition to your family. Shauna has the cutest little face. You are going to be a busy Mom Katie. Lucky little Shauna to be part of such a wonderful family and in an amazing island home. Love your window boxes. You are a lady of many talents Katie. So enjoy your channel. 💕👍🏻🇨🇦

[@bertieboo]

Its just a joy to learn, watch and smile . No need to justify any decisions you make xxx

[@deniereynolds6119]

Just an idea. You could get a pool noodle and cut it down one side. Then top with wire fencing on top to make sure she doesn’t harm herself. They do up to a lot of silliness.

[@57motherbear]

I loved your podcasts when you had them on this regular channel. It was the best part of my Friday night. I’m in Canada, and Patreon unfortunately is not in my fixed income budget. 😔

[@barbarafarquharson4826]

I listened to the 1st 4 while I walked, I miss them. Been listening to the 4 over and over, voices are calming.

[@lauraautry6992]

Oh my Shauna is precious and I am in love..So ticks are in Scotland also.. I do not like them. What was the little animal running around the yard it was so cute. ❤️🤗

[@Sag3w0man]

That is a Pine Martin. At least that is what she calls it.

[@lauraautry6992]

@@Sag3w0man thank you

[@lovelyskull3483]

Wonderful episode. Thank you.

[@judithstonier9872]

As another person commented I and my late husband were spinners and can't wait to see the fleeces come off your lovely sheep and see what you do with them we ran a small craft business and I knitted hats,bags,cushions and commissioned sweaters I love natural coloured wool but also dyed it with plant dyes which I can see Katie trying in a future episode 😊❤

[@AlanBlack13]

Thanks!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Many thanks Alan, much appreciated.

[@brenwyckoff]

Enjoyed watching the creation of your nibble-proof herb window boxes. Eager to see the boxes filled with beautiful plants! Thank you, Scott, for posting the map of your exploration route, so we could picture where you were on the island. Waiting for the footage of little lamb bouncing around outside. Great job ~~ ♥

[@lucielou7745]

I’ve watched since your first couple of episodes but if I came in later I would definitely go back and watch in order ❤

[@annmcgranaghan2131]

She's a bonnie wee lamb yer Shauna. Shauna is the name of my cousin. If that was a Pine Marten running about ye best watch if ye want free run chickens.

[@moelassus]

The new wee one is SO cute. Congrats on the addition to your menagerie!

[@judymcgovern8454]

Thank you for another fabulous vlog. Can fully understand your need to cut back, you have your lives to lead and it’s very time consuming filming editing etc. Will miss having the two episodes though as we so enjoy your channel 😢. Welcome wee Shona, you will have such a wonderful life, looking forward to watching you grow up. I really enjoyed your podcasts when they were on the main channel, found them so interesting. When we discovered your channel we did go back to episode one and we watched all of your vlogs. I have shared with friends, hopefully they will also share. ❤xx

[@whiskeycook3323]

I’d suggest thyme, great Medicinal tea and excellent in bone broths

[@theresefloyd1316]

Grateful for all videos given. You’re both so lovely to watch. So genuine. ❤️

[@SShellbee]

Scott some of us are rewatching in order too! Katie please plant a few plants so I can purchase a Scottish grown sponge ( just an idea) Your pos casts are great too

[@staciecats7801]

Thank you for a wonderful episode! Seeing your new sheep family member was really a treat. I understand why you are cutting back on episodes and look forward to whatever you have time to publish. Thank you for including us on your adventures.

[@soniaclarke1171]

Your channel never fails to bless me. I love all your content, Katie the ever handy lady, much like myself. Scotts humour and exploration of the island. Your new addition to the island family and it will be wonderful to watch her grow. Katie, your sharing of how life used to be, looks back on the hard lives, yet a wonderful community spirit and not what we sadly have today. Techno fobe and no connection with people. Such a loss to our community spirit came with the revolution of many inventions, which goes to show how man destroys what God created. So, even if it's one episode a week, it still blesses me. Thank you both. x

[@isalennox-moore7213]

One episode a week or three I feel blessed to watch your journey and although it maybe your main income you need to keep a good life balance to enjoy your new life for many years to come. Wishing you all sunshine and hugs.

[@christycruz2633]

Y'all do what you need to do. Your videos are great, and bring a dose of beauty and calm to my week.

[@tracebooks]

You seriously need a Lamb Cam! I would love to see some Shorts (or longs) with just her on it! The older ones are sweet and fun to watch, but there’s just something about a wee lamby!

[@TheScottishIsle]

There's plenty more Shona footage in tonight's new episode.

[@dickdavidson3616]

One a week is ideal for us!❤

Good video thank you for sharing, l dont think lve missed many videos,

[@lieuwina]

Shauna little lamb, welcome to the clan. Loved how you let the old ladies warm up to little Shauna. There is something I am a little confused about I think you have bought your cottage but you keep on saying the owner does not want people to know where you are exactly, to which I can understand and agree, but do I understand correctly that you have bought the cottage and some acreage of land or are you care takers of the land for the owner? What ever you decide to do with the videos you must do what is good for you. Some of us can not do Patreon and watch you Tube (which I am one of them) I do not have instagram. I appreciate all the work you do into making these lovely videos which I enjoy immensely and look forward too. Another lovely video Katie.

[@celiawilson6448]

I Viewed the previous episodes, couldn’t miss them. Thanks

[@lilac9639]

Ohhhh nooo you jinxed yourself ordering the camera on " April fools day" 😮. I'll join your patreon, I never realised it was reasonable a price. You should make that info more available as I'm sure ppl like myself feel the cost of living biting but I can happily afford that 😊 x

[@pip-woollycwtches]

I love watching and i have a small new knitting/wool craft podcast. I have mentioned you on there. Because i think your channel will be interesting to everyone. I would join on patreon but i already have subscription and unfortunately i can afford to do them all 🙈. Now I’m broody for another lamb. I haven’t been allowed to keep the ones i have reared. I have had them for different reasons. Larry and Barry the last two i had, 3 years ago. Couldn’t stand. So couldn’t feed. They were from different sets of twins. I had them until they were able to fend for themselves and then they went back to the flock. 🐑. Xx

[@denisedixon4028]
