ANNOYING discovery during the edit - VANLIFE SCOTLAND

Join us, Carol & Ken, as we travel to Scotland in our Consort Nova Motorhome called Snoopy.
In this video our journey continues as we say goodbye to beautiful Burrowhead and travel around the coast to Port William. Here we enjoy a tasty lunch and learn about the lifeboat funded by the local townspeople.
Next stop is Chapel Finian, an important resting place for pilgrims on their way to Whithorn Priory dating from the 900’s AD.
We find a lovely spot by the beach to spend the night but our next choice of park up is not so successful!

🔶 About us 🔶
Welcome to our channel! We're Carol and Ken, retired professionals turned van life enthusiasts. We share our adventures across the UK and Europe in our camper van, which we have just upgraded to a slightly larger model.
Our goal is to provide a relaxing, honest account of van life, with no scripted drama - just the real, day-to-day experiences of our travels. Many of our viewers find our content calming, and we hope you will too.
We're passionate about wild camping and love to share our knowledge and tips, from staying cool in the van to choosing the right toilet. We're always learning and look forward to sharing our campervanning experiences with you.
While we love the freedom of wild camping, we also enjoy supporting local businesses by indulging in delicious local food. Expect to see plenty of one-pan meals and restaurant visits in our videos.
We like historical sites, country homes, towns, villages, and the occasional city. We aim to share interesting facts and stories about the places we visit.
We post new videos every Friday at 6pm UK time, sometimes more often.
Our channel is perfect for armchair travellers, those considering a caravan or motorhome, or anyone looking to unwind after a stressful day. If this sounds like you, hit that subscribe button and join us on our journey. Your support, whether through watching our videos, subscribing, or contributing to our 'Buy Me a Coffee' fund, helps to keep our adventures going. We appreciate every bit of it. ❤️

I understand "Shortbreadie". I tend to call the cattle Belted Angus, but looked it up, and actually the ones I see in New Zealand are probably Belted Galloway. We don't have Crows in NZ, but do have a few Rooks. What a lovely area you have been travelling in.

[@XavierRadić_NZL]

What a nice wee jaunt, just what the Dr ordered!! You are discovering some interesting spots, places and activities on this your Scottish tour. You seem to find some nice open aired stopover places...! Printed maps are so much better and reliable to see the larger areas around your routes. I have marked roads and places over the years in atlases and maps with highlighters (inside closed atlases & folded maps they won't fade) and written pencil notes of various things, for when going back or recommending to friends. Take care & stay safe. Kia Ora from New Zealand. 💜💜
