What a fabulous vlog. It's such a joy that you take us along. I left part of myself in Scotland, how I long to see those forest, hills and coastlines again. Well wishes, happy hill walking to the 4 of you! 💕🙏 ❤️"We're just going to walk around here, while she sleeps, and Manifest our dream life"-Athena. This is Epic and we may need this on a shirt! 🥾🏞️💕

Another beautiful video! I love the music you’ve been using as well. Aife is growing so fast, and you capture such tender moments with her in your videos, you will treasure them years from now💗

When my girls were younger, we stayed a couple of times in a large house on Dell Road & in a few other cottages in & around Nethy Bridge. Just a superb area & the forest walk through to Ryvoan & Glenmore is stunning. Wonderful video & quite nostalgic for me x

[@bettymaugeri7316]

So much beauty around - thank you for sharing the land with us 🙏

Good evening Athena, Harvey, Aife, & Oslo! Loved seeing your 1st Family Trip to Scotland. It's beautiful there. I loved seeing Aife giving Oslo a treat. So good to see you 3. Have a good week.

[@rosanneinnes7872]

Another lovely video, such a beautiful hike and trip to Scotland, lovely happy memories together. Can’t wait to see more throughout the year ❤️❤️💐

[@marilynthomson9564]

What a lovely video! It looks like you guys have already manifested the perfect life.

[@highlandexplorer990]

Wow, what a beautiful hike and trip to Scotland! It's so amazing to see your little one sleeping through all the adventure and excitement. I love the footage of the forest and the cute moments with IFA. The van looks so cozy and convenient for traveling with a baby and a dog. Also, the food looks delicious. Can't wait to see more of your adventures!

[@kippdeefamily5875]

We got back from our annual trip to Aviemore yesterday and watching this is making us miss it even more. Every time we visit we also say it would be our dream life! We have also called Loch an Eilein the same as you Athena, until this year when a local told us the correct pronunciation 🫣

[@Anita-rq9ev]

Lovely to see a new upload. You are such a lovely family ❤️. I love Scotland, so beautiful. Thank you😊

[@tanyaclark3474]

That's the best way to travel, over night. That's what we do when we go from Scotland to Wales, no traffic.

[@colettelondon8434]

Dunkeld is beautiful ❤️ Lovely video . Makes for such a special day when I can watch your videos especially in Scotland

[@heathertucker7056]

Thank you for sharing your trip up to the Cairngorms! The cottage looks lovely and will look forward to the next video!

[@annecross1321]

Really enjoyed this lovely video and looking forward to the next installment of your adventures in beautiful Scotland. Love watching Aife playing and the food you were cooking looked delicious.

[@marcellejosephine9119]

Lovely video! Beautiful Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💙

[@jenhanlon3840]

Dunkeld is one of my favourite places to have a chilled mooch

[@gillianh]

Dunkeld is lovely, next time you’re in the area visit ‘The Hermitage’ lovely woodland walk and fab waterfall, Oslo would love it. We absolutely love Scotland it’s our happy place’ Loved the clip with Oslo taking the treat 😊

[@conniemckendrick1364]

Brought a tear to my eye, how quickly Ruby and Aífe are growing up.

[@freddiecampbell]

I can't believe the amount of stuff you've got to pack!

[@RambleFamily]

It’s a lot 😅

[@janbooth3323]

Inspirational blog again athena & Harvey. Van is coming along great. Looking forward to seeing 😀 rest of week blog.

[@RambleFamily]

Thanks Jan! Looking forward to sharing 😊

[@kerryrobin3112]

Thank you for bring us along with you and letting us share your adventures. We are having a week in the Cairngorms in May & really looking forward to it. Would love to see move of the van conversion along the way. We are currently walking the South West Coast Path and thinking of swapping our caravan for a van conversion to give us more freedom. What van are you converting?

[@jennybrennan7177]

Great video. It’s lovely to see a family out enjoying the Scottish highlands. Loch an Eilein is pronounced loch an e-lin 😊

[@jennyfulcher8035]

What a fun trip for your family in Scotland. You sure packed a lot of things in your van. Look forward to your visit in Scotland. Jenny

[@timward3539]

Oh Aran bakery is dangerous!! Such fantastic goodies. We visit every year when we stay in Pitlochry. (Flora was a contestant on GBBO).Great video. I am just a bit green round the edges.

[@tiabryden5747]

Thank you as ever for your beautiful vlogs. I grew up in Nethy Bridge, so love love your take on the local area, as well as seeing your family grow in the outdoors! If you are looking for a home in NB, please let me know as or family home will be on the market shortly...❤to you and yours

[@RambleFamily]

Aww wow, what an amazing place to grow up! We talk about moving there all the time… Would love to hear more about your family home if that is possible. You can drop us an email at [e-mail] 😊

[@eprohoda]

you created stunniing uploading, ciao~Athena! ))

[@Shellshopaholic]

Lovely to see you out in the lakes ❤ we hiked in the lakes today with our 5 month old in the ergo baby. Any tips for when little ones aren't enjoying it? He got a little upset but I stopped to feed him then turned him inwards and he did then fall asleep. It was only a short hike but I worry how we'd cope if he was upset and we couldn't calm him and we were also a long way from the car. I know you said you don't film Aife when she is upset (totally understand that) but how do you manage it? Love love your videos I've been watching since before you moved to Cumbria and you inspired me to hike with the baby 😊

[@justpandora_x]

We are on the west coast of Scotland and pronounce Loch an Eilein “Lochan Yellen” 😁 Although “ Loch on Eileen “ works from now on 😂 x

[@gdavew63]

Just curious if you have been to Glen Affric Scotland. I have a few pictures and it looks like park of some type. Very beautiful place.

[@kevlarsteiner8978]

Ese niño ha salido tan guapo como sus padres. Está para comérselo. Y el perro se ve un perro muy noble. Bonito equipamiento para el frío. Gracias por compartir.

So sad to see at the end of your lovely video that you have this small child in a forward facing car car seat. Did you not do any research. I am now retired and living in France but in the UK I was a professional installer of children's car seats. Up to the age of 4 or 5 depending on weight then keeping your little one is 5 times safer than forward facing. If you want to look for evidence then visit Besafe in Norway or Axkid in Sweden. Best wishes for your journey, but please put your little ones in safe seats.
