SCOTLAND + HARRIS + UIST ROAD TRIP IN THE DEFENDER

It's been a dream of mine to head up to Scotland in Boris. After many work trips to Hebrides, I knew I had to go back with Sophie and the truck. We had an absolute ablaut on the trip and I hope you enjoy.

[@Bighell01]

Congratulations to the newly weds from the Netherlands. Nice to meet your wife in the video. And of course (as always) a great footage of a lovely trip.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you very much! I will try to get her to be on camera more! Thank you

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thos beaches are unbelievable! The one at 21 mins... my lord. What a trip!! (love seeing my YT on in a Defender in the wilds of Scotland!:) ).

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you very much mate! Just watched your trip over to Cornwall! Really nice work. Such a long haul! Haha good job 👍

[@jaynegoldheart5484]

Congratulations! Scotland is such a beautiful place to start married life. I walked the coastline of the Scottish Highlands by myself for 6 weeks back in 2015, all kinds of weather and ineffable memories. Can't wait to get my defender and tour on 4 wheels.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Sounds great! Thank you so much!

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Brilliant scenery and vistas all throughout your journey. Love how inquisitive the highland cow was. Hope all is well, take care

[@BorisTheDefender]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah they are great haha

[@NSENeverStopExploring]

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you so much!!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

If it’s the same 130, which I think it is, I was chatting to the owners of that 130 camper at Stratford last year, it’s a proper camper inside, air suspension, slightly compromised off road but an amazing vehicle.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Yes I’ve now spoken to them. Very nice :)

[@tonywells8241]

very well presented we are going up again this september and taking our rib hopefully going to the outer hebrides good luck to you both.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Have fun! It’s amazing isn’t it

[@jonuribarri9395]

Felicidades, muy bonito viaje, en nuestras 2 ocasiones que hemos visitado Escocia, con nuestra autocaravana, nos ha quedado pendiente la visita de las islas exteriores de Harris,,,,,,,,,,, una gozada.

[@BorisTheDefender]

It’s lovely isn’t it! Thank you!

[@richardthomas3382]

super congratulations, I'm pretty new to the channel and really love the adventures. cheers

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you very much indeed! Very glad to have you here!

[@gordonbarclay6106]

Great video. What a great place to get married, congratulations you both. Pitlochry and the house of Bruar are great places I go on my holidays there all the time as I have my own caravan in Pitlochry.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Oh brilliant! Yeah it’s a lovely area isn’t it!

[@retty37]

Love the video: so many ideas for our Honeymoon to the Outer Hebrides in August. Shame I have to leave our Landy at home but we’ll enjoy the trip in our VW camper! Congrats! 🥳🍾🙏🏻❤️

[@BorisTheDefender]

I bet youll have brilliant time!

[@TofferB]

A most excellent video. Having spent a bit of time on the outer and inner Hebrides myself, once in a converted 110, I long to return.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you!

[@Allthingsdefender]

Congratulations. And this is why here at all things defender we are converting the defender 110 to a camper, purely so we can go to Scotland. Great video. Maybe in a year or so I will create a video very similar.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Right on!! So exciting thank you!

[@andymc3055]

Did you buy the kings green canvas bag in the UK? I had my sister bring me some back from Aus but I have quickly discovered I need more!

[@BorisTheDefender]

Haha I did the same thing. Brought it back from Aus.

[@sauerlaender1234]

I love your videos !! Carry on ... (y)

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you so much!! Cheers!

[@makelovenotskins]

Great video! I'm currently building a mk2 Pajero to do the same routes across Scotland and wales, and looking at the same Vickywood roof tent, why did you choose not to camp in it on this trip, what's been your experience of it? Thank you!

[@BorisTheDefender]

Did you not see the weather? Haha Not sure the tent can take 70mph winds. I’ve made a film about the tent on my channel.

[@AdventuresWithRalf]

Hey amazing video guys definitely subbing and looking out for more! If your after an adventure again me and ralf (my truck) would love to tag along!

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thanks for the sub! I will let you know

[@AdventuresWithRalf]

@@BorisTheDefender would be amazing! ☺️

[@breadturbo]

What's Boris's plated weight with the tdi? I only ask as my td5 was fined £65 for going over a 3t bridge like 28:58 , the td5 is 3050kg. unlikely to get busted out in the wilderness though :)

[@stevewaterworth8231]

The roof tent did not see much use in those high winds or did you forget the ladder again?

[@BorisTheDefender]

Yeah not sure they’re rated for 70mph winds….

[@bryanmorrissey1300]

What is the camera you use for the external shots from the top of the front roof?

[@BorisTheDefender]

GoPro 11 👍

[@stewartmurray5830]

The problem with Scotland and this is from a Scotsman, is that there is nowhere you can legally go off road. No green lanes or public rights of way. Well there might be one or two but that depends on who you listen to.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Yeah that’s a shame!

[@madcat1007]

What is an "ablaut"?

[@BorisTheDefender]

What do you mean? Sorry

[@madcat1007]

In your written intro you say " we had an absolute ablaut on the trip" Just wondering the meaning of ablaut.

[@BorisTheDefender]

@madcat1007 “even though the trip was a blast”

[@madcat1007]

@@BorisTheDefender Your description still says ablaut.
