COTTAGE IN THE CITY - Isle of Skye to Loch Ness & Inverness, Capital of the Scottish Highlands, Ep42

Willie, Sarah and their dog, Jack Spaniels, continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving their suburban life and moving over the sea to a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
In this episode, the 'Skye-Lifers' head out on a road trip to Inverness - the capital of the Scottish Highlands!
This time, we take the alternative route, along the banks of Loch Ness - keeping an eye out for monsters as we go....
Join us as we swap Skye Life Cottage for the "City Cottage" and explore more of the Highland capital city.

You are the breath of fresh air I need every week here in the US. Thank you for giving me hope for the next generations. You three are awesome! I have to admit that Jack Spaniels is my favorite!!!! 😊 I am 50% Scottishand knew nothing about Scotland. Thank you for the videos to learn more. ❤

[@suebailey326]

Happy Birthday Jack Spaniels🎉🎉. I have never been to Inverness. Looks very interesting. I actually saw a you tube talk about Leakeys Bookshop, being the largest, having the most comprehensive selection as well as the most books. And hey presto there you are Sarah. My idea of heaven too. Great video as usual. Can't wait for next week's. Take care all xxx

[@lizthompson9653]

Ok, now i know im going slightly potty! I sang when instructed by willie to join in singing happy birthday to jack spaniels. 😁

[@livingtheskyelife]

Excellent!

[@fairyacorn4854]

[@amteo7107]

I couldnt help but chuckle seeing jacks head going from left to right when willie was suggesting what jacks birthday breakfast treat would be. A wonderful present of steak😊happy birthday sweetheart

[@dthomp06]

Me too. I love watching his head move back and forth when he’s spoken to. So cute!

[@jacktaylor484]

Met you guys at the pub right after the bookstore! Thanks for letting us pet Jack Spaniels!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Hi Jack, was great to meet you both! Hope the rest of your stay in Scotland was really enjoyable. 🙂

[@finlear3320]

Happy birthday Jack 🎉 I honestly thought he was about 2 years old!!! Xx

[@livingtheskyelife]

So does he 😂

[@daisysmum7336]

When dogs tilt their head when you speak to them, it’s a sign of intelligence and we all know Jack Spaniels is a very smart pup!

[@btown8210]

My Maine Coons do that (cats) but then they’re noted to be highly intelligent.

[@valeriecarwithen9276]

That head roll of Jack’s just kills me❤! 😂

[@rayanneedwards8542]

Happy Birthday to Jack Spaniels....he is so lucky to have you two as his human parents! EIGHT?!? I thought he was around two he is so active. Have a good week.

[@elsaweitz678]

Happy birthday Jack Spaniels. Wishing you lots of crazy adventures for the future.🌻🐕

[@notme35]

The post office should be reported really, they don't make much from pre pair for the same amount of work but they shouldn't refuse wotk. Great video as always. Happy birthday Jack x

[@messyduncan]

I live in Cannich not far from Drumnadrochit and it is well known in the area that the post master is a miserable sod who won't even change cash for notes for the local small businesses .

[@livingtheskyelife]

Well..let’s just say we’re glad to live where we do on Skye, with a very lovely and patient lady in the Post Office 😊

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK SPANIELS 💓 Jack is a very lucky boy and so happy. Steak for Jack. What a lovely boy. Just like his beautiful family. I honestly thought he was about 2 yrs. old. He is adorable Thank you for such a great channel. Nessie is most certainly real. I have Charity shop madness. I love them and Love the birthday song 🎵 🎉🎉

[@paulinemcfarlan-ug5pd]

What a spoilt dog, but hey, Jack Spaniel is a lovely dog. We also have a lovely spaniel Loty, must admit she sleeps on the bed. It is lovely to see someone else spoiling their dog especially on their birthday❤. Next visit must go to Leekies bookshop, what an amazing place. Nice also to hear of pubs that take dogs in Inverness❤

[@iansuehooper7542]

Loved the drive through those beautiful highlands, but the highlight was your visit to that fantastic bookshop Sarah. We would never come out if we ever got to that shop, in our 70’s so that will not happen. Like you Sarah, I (Sue) am a big fan of the Lord of the Rings books, the Hobbit is special.

[@cynthiahofer2903]

Fun video! Happy birthday to Jack Spaniels! May he have many more!

[@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc]

Hello from PEI Canada. I was waiting for Jack to join in singing

[@livingtheskyelife]

Sometimes if we play the harmonica at him he tries to sing!

[@adriannenash9852]

Did my shopping first and was lucky enough to get a set of Sarah's Christmas cards! I have been checking for them everyday and was afraid I had missed out! Happy birthday to Mr. Jack Spaniels🎉 be well from washington state USA ❤️

I love how you are "real" and share with people it's the joy you find in living that creates a life, now how much money you make, what you have and who you know. Your trip was so lovely and made me think of what I can do to add adventures to my life. Much love.

[@neilalex9809]

I'm with you Willie on the evils of Coriander - Yuck! Another great Video! Thanks ❤

It’s nasty stuff! Can’t even bear the smell of it!

Wooohoo, good to see you rocking up in Inverness where I live and even better visiting the @HighlandHospice1987 Charity shop as I work for Highland Hospice. Nice little piece you did :) Loving the vids guys, keep up the good work.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Loved that charity shop! It was huge - I could have browsed for hours 😊

Happy Birthday Jack Spaniels🎉🎉 And, thank you so much for the walk down memory lane. I visited Inverness with my daughter when she was studying abroad and we had pizza on the rooftop garden at Blackisle Brewing!! Can’t wait to share this with her!

[@annekabrimhall1059]

When I stayed in a room above a pub as a child, we had to go down the hall down the stairs and through the pub to the toilets. Things are much nicer now!

[@hillarygroundwell2807]

Jack Spaniels is so cute the way he looks at you with his head on one side

Happy birthday Jack Spaniels! Our labs Shackleton and Cèilidh are going to be 8 in a few weeks. It’s a great age. Thanks for the Inverness tour ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@joannamorgan6911]

Happy birthday Jack and yes I sang along x Thank you Sarah and Willie love the vlog so much.x

[@harley8680]

I love when you all go out and about so we can see even more of beautiful Scotland. Question for Sarah (and a silly one) ...I was last in Newcastle when I was 10 years old (1974) as we had come from Michigan to visit all our relatives. An Aunt lived there (my Grandfather's sister)...anyhow I could not understand the boy next door because he had "a Geordie accent" Does Sarah consider herself a Geordie as well? Happy Birthday Jack Spaniels!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Sarah is definitely a Geordie! Just without the accent 😅 Willie thinks she is a Posh Geordie!

Happy birthday Jack Spaniels, you definitely don't look like a senior. Not been in Inverness for decades. Great video as always

[@Sujowi]

Thanks for the reminder… Urquhart Castle still owes me a visit since 1983. I was on Gordon’s bus tour and we stopped at the castle. A couple of us headed down the hill and paid our entry only to be told by tour leader we weren’t stoppin! Annoying…and I still feel out of pocket! Haha! However I did enjoy the haggis and whiskey on a hill overlooking the lake.

Happy Birthday, Jack. I have always thought a real vacation would be in a snug warm cabin, away from a busy city, with lots of good food and drinks, a working fire place, a working bath room, a small working kitchen, lots of fire wood, good company (that could be a dog), good books, craft supplies, and no place I have to go or be (with a big snow going on outside). It could be Heaven; but, it might be hail.
