Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van - Seat Cushions

Embracing our Scottish family history to select the fabric for our seat cushions in our Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van Conversion.
The Story of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald is regarded as one of the most romantic in Scottish History. Flora MacDonald is famously known for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape from Scotland after the defeat of the Jacobite’s in the Battle of Culloden in 1746.
Bonnie Prince Charlie [Prince Charles Edward Stuart] led the second Jacobite Uprising of 1745 to overthrow King George II. The part that Flora played in the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie ‘over the sea to Skye’ is immortalised in the ‘Skye Boat Song’, published in 1884:
“Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that’s born to be King,
Over the sea to Skye…”
In June 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie finally landed on South Uist with a couple of loyal supporters. There they met Flora, and arrangements were made to disguise the Prince as ‘Betty Burke’, an Irish maidservant, and conduct him to Skye. After a few days’ preparations, they sailed in a small boat ‘over the sea to Skye’, just as the militia landed nearby. The Prince was dressed in a calico gown, quilted petticoat and headdress to disguise his face.
After landing safely on Skye, the Prince’s perilous wanderings continued for a few more weeks, until finally, he managed to escape mainland Scotland on a ship bound for France. He and Flora were destined never to meet again.
Shortly afterwards, Flora was imprisoned in London for her part in the ‘Young Pretender’s’ escape, but she was soon released and became a society heroine, for even then the story of her courage captured the imagination of the public. She was even introduced to the Prince of Wales and had her portrait painted by fashionable artists of the day.
Flora married the son of McDonald of Kingsburgh and emigrated with him to North Carolina, where he became a Brigadier General on the royalist side in the American War of Independence. He was taken prisoner there but eventually, he and Flora returned once more to his ancestral home, Kingsburgh, on Skye.
Flora MacDonald died in Skye in 1790, and her grave can be seen today, not far from the place where she first landed with ‘the lad who was born to be King’.
The current title of "Lord of the Isles" now belongs to Prince Charles the Prince of Wales.

To further cement my choice for this Tartan the Motto of Clan MacDonald is "Per mare per terras" which translates to "By sea and by land" What could be more fitting as a motto for a Van that is destined to travel across sea and land :D More on that subject too very soon!

[@fin3572]

Without a doubt, this is THE definitive KZbin guide to DIY camper van conversions. Not just for the expertise/ craftsmanship on display and the level of detail it goes into, but also for the natural, instructional talent, in front of camera, of Greg the presenter. I hope you don't stop when the van is complete Greg - and do continue to make any future videos 'instructional' - it really is your forté!

[@GregVirgoe]

That is so very kind of you to say that, has made my day, thank you. This is by no means the end, you can expect plenty more instructional videos of living with the van and using it, lots of useful travel information and more tutorials too so plenty in the pipeline, my "video to do" list just keep getting longer :D

[@davehigh6786]

Fin, I completely agree, this video series stands head and shoulders above all others. Greg has a gift. I would also like to mention that the camera work is excellent and I appreciate it very much..

[@GregVirgoe]

That's great to hear, I was concerned that we hadn't go the best shots this time, we are trying out a new canon camera so we are learning too as we go. Thanks for great feedback

[@rossberry9364]

Greg, just when I thought this van couldn't get any better....you go and stick some tartan in it ... genius big man.

[@GregVirgoe]

Thanks, Ross, I'm pleased you like the choice.

[@godshammer1087]

I can confirm that is your best video, and the woman is so interessant , and creative. so, Grec send her my salutations and admiration. Don't forget my salutations to your wife. Thank you for all. Oh man keep that smile.

[@GregVirgoe]

oulghazi abdelwahab that is very kind of you to say so thank you 😊

[@JADuppyMan]

Awesome - its good to see a creator utilize other creators and incorporate them in any facet of whats being built, along with spreading the word or showcasing what they can do.

[@mange2]

What a difference a splash of colour makes Greg. The cushions look great.

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you Dave, yeah it's changed the whole van, lifted it another level

[@cliffp.8396]

Quality is its own signature. May I offer Catupholstery a very well done indeed.

[@GaryThomsonJoinery]

Yes Greg, your Scottish roots, that explains everything now 😄 excellent shout out to Cat for her amazing work. Following her on instagram now. Thank you for sharing 👍😄

[@GregVirgoe]

I knew you’d appreciate that Gary 😀lol

[@Dulsanaya]

Cat of Catupholstery did the upholstery for the Indie Project. Just watched that video last week. Wishing that I had someone like her in the states. xo

[@GregVirgoe]

Yes, as I mentioned, we saw the indie projects cushion in Cat's workshop when she was working on them during one of our earlier visits. We were all at Camp Quirky earlier this year so not a coincidence that we both chose Cat to do our cushions, she is very good at what she does and a super lovely person too.

[@GregVirgoe]

Absolutely, there are thousands of very talented people, I agree

[@josef96816]

i spent my day off watching your videos and i have to admit your buld serie is the most professional and detailed one i've ever seen glad to find your chanel thanks for the tips and detailes good luck for the rest of your journey cheers

Very nice indeed, can't wait to see the finished product 👏👏

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you Michael, it will make a great VAN TOUR video I'm sure, excited about it myself lol

[@BoxNbox]

@@GregVirgoe I can't wait anymore to see full van tour please upload it ASAP!!😅 Its just perfect but I wish if that van could also fit a permanent pc/work table.

[@GregVirgoe]

Your wish will be granted. All will be revealed in the final tour. We have covered all the bases as you will see 😎

[@carringtonscapers4368]

So, our Greg has added Interviewer to his growing repertoire of things he is good at. Interesting, informative, and just enough detail. Cat is so lovely and you really allowed her to shine. Well done both of you. Looking forward to more. Would love to see the van while you are still here in Essex. 👏👍

[@GregVirgoe]

I really do appreciate this comment as I'm not a filmmaker, but trying my best to put together interesting content for you all to watch. So it really does mean a lot when I get feedback like this, Thank you. Yes, you are spot on, Cat is super lovely and that definitely shows in everything she does.

[@DNL1200GSA]

What a great back story to the choice of materials. Well done Greg. Cheers Dave

[@GregVirgoe]

Thanks Dave, yes it’s good to have something of meaning in the van. 👍🏼😊

[@maidelie]

It's a beautiful tartan, and a wonderful history. As with everything regarding your van build, so well explained, class all the way.

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you maidelie, for such a lovely comment. Really means a lot 😊

[@roygardiner4002]

Missed out on the bagpipe music going to pick up your tartan cushions Greg !

[@dreamingrightnow1174]

Those cushions look like they came from a high-end furniture shop. The piping, being a contrasting color would be unforgiving if it had any wobbles, but it's as straight and smooth as can be. The colors are great too; the blue just glows beside the green. Very nice.

[@ketanpawskar1267]

Amazing history .. Amazing work .. Amazing Skills.. 🙏🏻

[@GregVirgoe]

Amazing comment 😊 Thank you

[@NicoVeenkamp]

Cat’s a lovely and creative person. I first saw her in a recent video by the Indie Project. Love your tartan design.

[@GregVirgoe]

Yes, absolutely right, and thank you for your nice comment.

[@twowheeledsmurph]

Great video, Greg! And great work, Cat! We have MacDonald on one side of our family as well as Maclean and Cameron on the other. (We won't talk about the 16th century battles between the three!). My wife and I even visited Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull and got to sign the family guest book. I would love to replace the fabric of the front seats on my '13 Sprinter. At present they are a bit cut up and look rough. There's a company in Vancouver, BC called Nomad Vanz and they have some beautiful custom tartan seats but are only available as part of a full build. I may have to go see Cat and see what she can come up with! The hunting tartans are quite nice compared to the regular tartans. Great choice! Loving you're build. Cheers from Canada.

[@davehigh6786]

Another great video Greg, thank you so much. As a history buff myself I absolutely love the history component.

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you, I like it now the van has some personality and meaning, it's slowly bringing it to life

[@FionanDavidatNo12]

Gosh, that's a real injection of colour and us up north do love the tartan! What a superb job Kat. We look forward to seeing your work close up at Camp Quirky next year. Greg a MacDonald! Who knew... just a bit more awesome 😬

[@GregVirgoe]

It's been a closely guarded secret for years, now the whole world knows :D lol Can't wait to see you both next year and check out the vans WooHoo

[@kopeducati]

And another step to the long awaited finish 😊💪👍

[@robertjohn819]

Really enjoying your vlogs . Not to sure about doing a conversion myself but its good to follow your interesting work regardless.

[@tonysutton6559]

I did a talk last week about our summer camper trip in the Hebrides for a local pensioners group and included a bit about Flora MacDonald. I also won my bet with my daughter as I managed to get them all singing the Skye Boat Song 😄

[@GregVirgoe]

Did you visit where Flora's monument is while you were there? The pensioners love a good old sing along. :D

[@tonysutton6559]

@@GregVirgoe Yes, we did the monument. We will definitely be going back to the Hebrides (and doing a lot more wild camping next time).

[@BrasherFox]

What an absolutely brilliant way to finish off your van with something from your ancestry. Your van is something to aim for, for anyone doing a conversion. Love that choice of tartan, mine would have to come from the Emerald Isles and the wife's from deepest darkest Wales if such a cloth exists? Nice one Greg and cats work looks superb.

[@GregVirgoe]

It just sat well with me and a nice way to add some personality. Well, the Irish are famous for their linen so I'm sure there would be some amazing fabrics to choose from. Wales of course with all those sheep, the woollen industry, famous for their tweeds, you'll be spoilt for choice.

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Nice one Greg 👍 and Kat 👍 Love the seats 👍 you must be nearly finished now 😀 Say Hi to Lou Best Regards Dave, Jo and Louie 👍😀🐾

[@GregVirgoe]

Yes Dave, just doing new brakes all round and getting ready for MOT next week and back on the road at long last :D

[@onemanandhiswhippet]

Excellent and then you can get out and use it 👍👍👍

Hi greg thanks for the videos theyve helped me get my own project planned. I wanted a small weekend van that can take a motorbike. Settled on ducato (cos of width for transverse bed) pop top, and seat/bed and kitchen all on offside so n/s free for cargo! Cant wait to have it built!! Cheers

[@GregVirgoe]

Excellent news! Thank you for your support and will be great to meet you. What type of van do you have and what stage is your build at?

[@sandraallsopp1234]

Hi, I Don't have a van yet, I am a self employed plumber /heating engineer I have 1 apprentice just finished his 4 years at college and another just started....and a family. I am hoping to find a unit to rent to build in and store all my tools, work stuff. I have VW vans for work and am looking to buy a Crafter LWB high roof. I want to gather as much info and have a definite plan before I start. Im hoping this will be next spring/summer after the silly season that is winter, as my life is not my own......

[@GregVirgoe]

SJ Allsopp that's great you will get so many ideas at camp quirky, even we changed our design after seeing the double swivel seat in Angel. There were quite a few that just threw a mattress in the back of their van and came like that 😊

[@johnmandy]

Well worth the effort Greg, they look lovely and homely. 🚐👌🏻

[@GregVirgoe]

Thank you, we are really pleased with them 👍🏼

[@MITMASA]

Great job Greg, the cushions look fabulous, nice work indeed. That was such an out-of-box thinking you did there. Personaly I think its awesome that you put a part of your ancestors in the van! Cheers from Portugal!

[@GregVirgoe]

The more I looked into it the more it sort of gave the van some personality, it's the little touches that make all the difference. Thank you for taking the time to give such great feedback, much appreciated.

[@MITMASA]

@@GregVirgoe I hope the journey goes well. Unfortunately the weather changed, if you came two weeks ago the sun was shining and a lot warmer... There is a couple of places that you must go, I will post them here and see if I don't forget anything ;) Cheers

[@MITMASA]

@@GregVirgoe Greg, I know its a lot to see and probably you won't have time to see it all. In the northern part of the country I selected a few places that you can see and not regret taking the time to do it. Apart from the historical cities of Braga (ancient connection to Rome by the Roman Empire), Guimarães (Birth Place of our Nation and birthplace to our first King) and Porto (Capital of the North). You can also visit places like Miranda do Douro, Chaves, Pinhão and Montalegre. I could have had a few more but by the time you were done you would have spent the whole year and not be done xD Safe travels!

[@albeenamelast6620]

I have watched most of your videos. Very good! You might not believe this but I am wearing a shirt from here in the States that I got from LL Bean Co. that is your Tartan! I hope that you will do a video of what you would change after using the van for a while, isn't that the way it goes when you build stuff. PS my wife and I just did a trip around the U.S. 10,000 mi. over 36 days in a jeep Compass. Hope you enjoy your trip!!

[@jackfox5602]

Congratulations on your beautiful cushions! It is timely as we are just now ready to cover our cushions that are sofa/bed combo memory foam in a 2018 Ford Transit van. Choosing the color and fabric is a challenge that we have not yet surmounted. We do want some color. I thought about posting some pictures on G+ but now I read that G+ is going away, too bad.

[@GregVirgoe]

Try a colour wheel, there are a few online and the oddest of colours just work together, like our blue and orange. www.sessions.edu/color-calculator/

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Very smart, she’s done an excellent job...so you have Scottish ancestors too, mine are the Forbes clan...👍🏼😊

[@GregVirgoe]

Ah, the Forbes hey ;D So you're on the east side near Aberdeen. I spent 6 months working there a couple of years ago. Rode a 1972 vintage Honda 550 four back from there, 405 miles in a day that was a memorable journey, especially when it started chucking it down around Leeds and for the rest of the trip.

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Greg Virgoe ...yeah it’s a bit of a jog especially from Southampton but, we were blessed with the weather, Aberdeen certainly lived up to it’s nicknamed, the silver city, glistening in the sun with all its granite....I bet the trip was still awesome on that bike...fun fun fun!! 😉😊👍🏼

Isle of Skye should be the first destination for you and your van mate! I've spent around 3 months there this year. Some of the best fishing in Scotland can't beat it.

[@GregVirgoe]

That sounds like a plan, if we weren't just coming into winter, soft southerner now mate ;D lol Can I get my van over to Skye on a ferry?

[@theorigonaldave]

@@GregVirgoe you have the Skye bridge now (which is pretty small/short ) to get across but yes you can get a ferry from mallaig across to Armadale on Skye. It is a nice short crossing like 30 mins... and I would recommend it but again you won't be disappointed with the drive either I usually do the bridge driving up and the ferry back just for a change. I've been from Skye to Bournemouth this year I spend more time in my van than my house... life is for living!

Hi Greg been following you for a while now your nearly there and we love Cat she's awsome 👍❤️, we bought a 4 year old sprinter a few weeks ago ready to convert it over the winter we put it into the Mercedes garage Newport only to have the police seize it as it was cloned we have lost everything our dream of van life is in bits 😭😭 haven't even got a van for work now the only thing we can do is start saving again for the next year or two, it has been a pleasure following your conversion and we cannot wait to follow you on the Rd thanks for all your very informative videos totally loved everyone❤️ we may not be hitting the continent next May but will not let this beat us and will get there in the end we wish you had done a how to buy a Sprinter safely video we'd have been OK then 😉 thanks for all you do Brett and Bec 👍🚐❤️

[@GregVirgoe]

Oh dear Brett and Bec, really so sorry to hear that, it's always innocent people that suffer all the losses. Good that you still have a positive attitude and keep looking forward, you can't change the past but you can make a brighter future. We too were part of a vehicle scam when looking for our van and it might be a good topic for a video, we looked at buying a van on AutoTrader however the seller wanted me to transfer the money and he would transport the vehicle to my door. That immediately started ringing alarm bells with me so I set about doing some digging online. I took a photo of the van from AutoTrader and did a Goggle image search and sure enough it came up on a traders website for sale on their forecourt, it wasn't even his van he had just copied the photos and made up the advert. So next I did a search on his email address and a WhoIs search on the domain name he was using, that cam up with a guy in Brighton, his home address and it turned out he worked in IT and had a wife I even got his Facebook details. Of course I alerted both AutoTrader and the police and sent them both all the details. I hope he got a knock on his door but didn't hear what the outcome of that was. My mantra is don't part with any money until the V5 and keys are in your hands and you've done all the relevant checks. It's very cheap now to do vehicle searches and free to do MOT searches on gov website. You are not alone here and many fall into this trap as it's widely used scam. Keep your chin up guys and best wishes for future. Greg and Lou 😊

[@brettnbeckvalleyvan]

@@GregVirgoe thank you for your reply 👍 we done all the checks even paid £8 for a van check also checked vin number on van with log book , took it for a test drive even had the new log book back off the dvla, top and bottom of it was it was a professional organised crime set up from start to finish 😭 it would be a good video to cover what to look out for when buying a van 👍 you can star as how to do it and Bec and I can star as how most definitely not to do it 😂 got to laugh we've cried enough, looking forward to coming along with you on the trip love your videos thanks for sharing all you do it's inspirational 👍❤️👏👏👏

[@brettnbeckvalleyvan]

@@GregVirgoe it was a set up on a trading estate got to give it to them it was slick the only reason we found out was when we booked it in for a service with Mercedes if we hadn't done that we would have spent thousands on converting it so there was some sort of silver lining 🤔 the most gutting part neither Gwent police or West Midlands police didn't even want a statement off us or any sort of description so how can they catch these people 😠😠😠 they didn't even have the decency to inform us that they had seized the van we only found out when we called the garage a week later 😡😡 we have been treated like s##t by both forces.

[@georgebennett3170]

Greg I’ve followed your van and to be honest I’ve used your vids as a template for building mine which I’ve now finished. Do the back cushions slide around in transit. And if so did you come up with a way of holding them in place. I really don’t want to use Velcro

I'm from the New England part of US. My grandmother on my mom's side is from Scotland. The place is Agile The last name is Alan. The first name is Alexander. Which many of the men were named. My mom's middle name is Alan.

[@GregVirgoe]

Allen, Alan, Allan, etc is a Celtic surname, originating in Scotland, and common in Ireland, Wales and England. It is a variation of the surname MacAllen and may be derived from two separate sources: Ailin, in Scottish and Irish Gaelic, means both "little rock" and "harmony", or it may also be derived from the Celtic Aluinn, which means "handsome".

The proportions of these cushions seem to be a bit odd. While the sitting surface appears to be quite deep those back parts look rather low to me and I wonder if you can lean back and still feel comfortably supported. Does it work, though?

[@Sonofsun001]

Great build, far better than I could ever do... however it all looks rather dark and the furniture board could date quite badly.... each to their own though.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

Cushions look great Greg. Are they a slightly tight fit to stop them falling on the floor while travelling or do you plan to set them on top of the bed while travelling?
