Hebrides 2016 Full length (15 minute) version

[@jenniferbailey44]

Fabulous cinematography. The outer Hebrides is a soulful and spirited place and you have conveyed this so well in your film. It was very moving to watch.... and it’s made me even keener to return. Beautiful photos of you and Dougal together. 💕🐕

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Jennifer! Hope you get the chance to get back there soon. All the best.

[@rayovlight]

Just back from my first trip to the highlands, we stayed in Ullapool absolutely amazing landscapes and this video has wet my appetite even further for exploring the highlands and islands more! Thanks for sharing absolutely splendiferous!

[@russellpugh617]

Another great clip! pics and music just fantastic! PLEASE PLEASE keep the clips coming, just inspires us further to keep on visiting the wonderful and truly amazing highlands of Scotland! We returned last week from a 3 week highlands trip, 5 ferry hop-scotch ticket with cal-mac starting at Oban and working our way through Barra, Uists, Skye, Harris to eventually head through Ullapool back to Edinburgh for the Tattoo and Fringe. BTW - fav. spot so far is Horgabost on Harris, absolutely breathtaking beach and fantastic golf course with cool locals running the club house! A must for all who visit the Outer-Hebs! All the best from Germany Russ & Corinna

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks for the message! Yes, Harris is so beautiful, isn't it? I think this is the last trip to the Islands this year but I still have more films to edit from the footage :)

[@PauloMurteira_MassagemPro]

Totally completely absolutely awesome... no words to thank you

[@gwarlow]

Your dog wearing goggles while riding on the back of the bike was wonderful to see... Truly man's (people's) best friend. And the music track is awesome... Brilliant video! Cheers from Quebec, Canada.

[@andrewjditton]

Glad you enjoyed it Gordon, all the best.

[@cali_weejock]

Not only a well executed advertisement for Airstream and the Outer Hebrides, I’ve also found music. I’ve just downloaded Treacherous Orchestra from iTunes. Thanks for this awesome edit 😀

[@johngunthel452]

Some of the best I have ever seen (and heard!). Thank you for that.

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers John!

I am a Hungarian living in Scotland for 7 years now.I am going to buy my first caravan on Sunday and I could not be more excited!I wish I would found this video earlier...Brilliant job, thanks!

Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to make this movie. Great scenery and effects.

A real haunting Scots piece, excellent editing and choice of backing track Andrew, another really enjoyable bit of hard work that has paid off big time, many thanks once again. Cheers Ian.

A masterpiece. Thank you 🙏

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you!

[@grannylyn757]

oh, looks like such a wonderful time! ! thanks for inviting us all!

[@andrewjditton]

Granny Lyn You're very welcome Granny Lyn! It's such a wonderful place I'm always in the dilemma of wanting to shout about it to the world and also keep it to myself at the same time :)

[@tyke34]

Brilliant production Andrew, enjoyed every second.

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks very much Barry!

[@Adventure.AS.25]

Thanks Andrew. Love your videos, they make me feel like I am there, sharing the road with you. We just bought our Airstream and hope to visit interesting places here in North America. I don't think anything will top the Hebrides though!

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks for the message Ray. Well, BC might come close :) Enjoy your new Airstream!

[@Adventure.AS.25]

The Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island (Nova Scotia) may be close too. The biggest difference, I have found in North America is that beautiful spots are usually commercialized and very busy with tourists, although some of your Caravan Club sites look busy. Let me know if you every come to the Toronto, Canada area.

[@user-kb1ir7dy8j]

Aww bless him ..... He looks really cool.. Nice one

[@steverenard55]

Wonderfully evocative and atmospheric film of an area that's on my bucket list of places to visit in my newly acquired motorhome. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Steve! You'll find a playlist on my channel of similar trips to the Hebrides over the years. Enjoy your new moho and I'll see you up there soon! :)

[@rachelselby5469]

It's like guided meditation watching these videos.

[@1966klipie]

Cracking video looks like you had a ball!

[@richardbinnie]

Great work lad. It looks like the rain stayed away ..........most of the time..........and the soundtrack was just superb.

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you! Yes, the weather was 'average' which was a MASSIVE improvement on 2015!

[@fedaykeen]

Very nice mate.

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you! Next few vids will be using footage from same trip in different ways (ferry trip, site tours, vlogs) but plenty more ideas thereafter.

[@shanash1]

Breathtaking! Masterful editing, my friend. Really well done. I'm duly impressed (and now I want to visit).

[@mikepepler]

Nice one!

[@mitchcollins2947]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@comfywomfy]

Wonderful video Andrew :) thanks for sharing mate and thanks for introducing me to this band :)

[@user-kb1ir7dy8j]

A you should get an award for this vlog, and a big Cheque and thank you from the Scottish tourist board ... That was ....BRILLIANT.😎

[@andrewjditton]

+Andy M Cheers Andy. Sadly as far as 'official' agencies are concerned, people like me don't exist and are never even acknowledged despite the fact we do things like this straight from the heart and not to fit a corporate brief.

[@dawnallard6841]

Excellent. What stunning scenery.

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Dawn :)

[@blackfish7163]

really, really well done! Thank you! Cheers

[@bryanselee8226]

Love your videos and what a cute dog!

[@ataugusta]

[@stricco100]

[@Dsmxsteve510]

Great video sir!

[@andrewjditton]

Steve Y Thanks Steve!

[@bradleysonthemove5790]

Superb!

[@Silia1]

What a powerfull video, I am very impressed :-))

[@popeyethesailor9]

Excellent 👍

[@janettewillet1014]

I really enjoyed your video . I also got a nice surprise to see my daughters in it (the minions)at the TMF .

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Janette, I was lucky to be in the right time at the right time to catch the Minions Flash Mob :)

[@windsurfer49]

What a great film" that van out in the wild "somehow just looks right" slippery shape, against the Highland conditions"

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Nick! It's often said about Airstreams that their reflective skin picks up the blue of the sea and the sky or the green of the grass and makes them more in keeping with their environment. I think there is a lot to be said for that theory! All the best.

[@LornaCallaghan]

Fantastic!

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Lorna! You won't get away without being in the next one ;@)

[@110Griff]

that must of taken ages to edit the video, well done loved every minute.

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you Tom! Yes, it took days and days - a real labour of love! But I'm always happy to show the world what an amazing place it is up there in the islands.

[@romanyroz5609]

Brilliant film Andrew, your rig is amazing love your classic Triamph which off course is colour co-ordinated ,amazing scenery love the way your dog rides with you how does he stay on?

[@1533ramsay]

Take bow! That was great to watch.

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you very much Mark. Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@TheColl73]

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@chrissyjohnson1937]

excellent video. ..

[@stevebrown6665]

Brilliant video to get lost in for 15 minutes, now back to work:-(

[@Keithphotorama]

Your videos are always great and now I have an important question. Hitching and unhitching the Airstream from the truck, can it easily be done by one person or does it require two people?

[@andrewjditton]

Easily done by one Keith. Check out my video on 'Solo Caravanning'. Cheers!

[@andrewjditton]

Oh, and thanks for the compliment about the vids, much appreciated.

[@patcostello25]

Hi Andrew, great blog , my wife and I would like to tour the Hebrides next year , are there many sites or are you ok wild camping ? Could you stear me in the right direction to plan. Thank you

[@andrewjditton]

Hi Pat, check out my old blog at airstream-andrew.blogspot.co.uk, click on 'Hebrides' in the word cloud on the right, and voilà! Enjoy.

[@Lifeat39000ft]

Great piece of work makes me want to hook up the van and head north.

[@andrewjditton]

Do it! You won't regret it! :)

[@user-kb1ir7dy8j]

How do u keep your dog secure ,when on the bike !?

[@andrewjditton]

Andy M He's in a dog-carrying rucksack with securing attachments, made by Outward Hound.

[@rogerherbison4124]

Andrew, Just found your site not to long ago and love your film work! What software are you using now to put all together? I was in the UK and posted a few vids on my KZbin channel last year and have a few more to do. Your work is outstanding! A master film make!

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you so much Roger! This was made as I was getting used to Final Cut Pro X. Since then I have worked with editors who use Adobe Premier, but it seems that a lot of what comes as standard in FCPX is a paid plug-in for Adobe, but many argue Adobe gives better results. It's a hard call but I am sticking to FCPX right now as, at the end of the day, it's all about the story, not the fancy effects! All the best.

[@jackmcleod579]

Scotland is amazing I'm in Scotland now

[@andrewjditton]

Lucky you, Jack! Enjoy :)

[@jackmcleod579]

+Andrew Ditton thanks 👍🏻 can't wait for more videos

[@andrewjditton]

There are more in the pipeline Jack, mainly using the same footage but in different styles. Stay tuned!

[@RogersBitsDoings]

My partner is toying with the idea of getting a caravan and this video may just tip the scales as he is a big fan of Scotland.

[@andrewjditton]

+Roger's Bits & Doings Cool! Welcome to the Dark Side ;@) And your profile name... would you happen to be a Victoria Wood Fan by any chance? 'By 'eck Pippa Tembury...' ;@)

[@RogersBitsDoings]

You may not be from Yorkshire, but you're just as boring as if you were.

[@andrewjditton]

Roger's Bits & Doings Say you'll be my friend. You can be in all the episodes then!

[@RogersBitsDoings]

I will be your friend but I have clinkers to riddle and pots to side. Anyway I have to be up at 4.25am, so as much I would like to quote lines from the late great Vicky Wood, I need to go to sleep. Goodnight and happy camping, or caravaning I mean.

[@fedaykeen]

very good video.

[@JennDyer]

Beutiful

[@23ellenfields]

Oh, this is so cool! I've always wanted to go there... this is the next best thing. Linked to it on the FB page I manage: facebook.com/AirstreamSB/

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks a lot Ellen, and thanks for the link on your Facebook page :)

[@23ellenfields]

Oh my pleasure :-) I'll probably link some other posts after I've had a chance to explore your blog. Like my page and you'll see them when I do... and if you're ever in Santa Barbara, come by!! :-)

[@markrae1317]

That is absolutely superb! You f*cking clever, talented b*stard! My criterion for respect has always been, and remains, anyone who can do something better than I can, so total respect, mate! Agus, mar a tha fios agad, tha an fhregairt seo a' tighinn dhut bhon Eilean Sgitheanach - I think it might be time...

[@andrewjditton]

Taps a charaid. Time for what? A' tighinn dhan eilean? Bhithinn an siud aig deireadh a' mhìos, ach chan eil mi airson 7 no 8 a dhèanamh a-rithist, agus chan eil mi a' faireachdainn math gu leòr airson Beartas Cainnte. Agus tha fios agadsa dè tha an trioplaid an seo... :-/

[@markrae1317]

Sin e. Gluasad dhan eilean...

[@mikep2246]

Fantastic!
