Hidden beauty on the coast // Scotland's Moray Coast Trail Ep. 04

[@michellemaccracken7086]

I am loving this series so much. It is inspiring me to want to buy one of your coastal paintings. How do I do that from the states? Love you Sarah. Keep up the hard work of all you do

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you :) I sell my work through a gallery in Glasgow, here's the link www.scotlandart.com/Artist/Detail/612 and they offer free world-wide shipping

[@debsteinman1506]

what a gift you are giving all who watch. Thank you

[@catepearce2138]

Hi, what an extraordinarily beautiful coastline. Such stunning colours and tones amongst the rocks. You look like you are enjoying yourself in heaven!! Thanks for sharing, its great to see it all through your eyes. xx

[@stephaniegoodenough3341]

You should be so proud of yourself for undertaking this journey. Thank you for sharing this beautiful coastline with all of us!

[@sarahinscotland]

I'm more proud of myself for actually filming it consistently! That's probably the most exhausting part...but I know I'll look back at it in 20 years and be grateful I made the effort

[@hexemuller6555]

Scotland is one of the best homes you can have Sarah. Your video is great. Seen the Queens last journey today and the amazing view from up above from the helicopter that was there. Thank you so much for showing your hikes and paintings.

[@soomat1]

Thankyou for sharing your adventures and paintings!

[@nadineharper312]

Thank you so much Sarah for showing me the Scotland Coast and your journey!!!

[@sarahinscotland]

My pleasure!

[@roxannemaguire9844]

So, so beautiful, Sarah!!! I loved Covesea and then Cove Bay so much!!! Ohhh the shades of ocher in all that amazing rock - especially at around 13.37!!! Mmmmm, so, rich!!! Always glad when you say Wolfie is picking you up at the end of the day ❤❤❤ I hope your hip discomfort goes away 🙏. Thank you for bringing us along with you!!! Love and hugs to you two and the kitties!!! 💙💙💙

[@sarahinscotland]

Isn't the rock gorgeous!? I would love to make some pigment from it someday but ...time escapes me!

[@roxannemaguire9844]

@@sarahinscotland Yes, it certainly IS gorgeous!!! I was surprised actually at how strongly it affected me!!! Maybe during the winter it could be a little side project!!! 😉🧡💛🧡

[@kittyhenning5812]

Beautiful drawings and you have a lovely soothing voice

[@artbyashley6613]

When you replace ur screen.. get a toughened glass screen saver, get a few, those things can save you a fortune. Love that stretch of coast

[@SharonCullenArt]

Another amazing video Sarah. I look forward to these every week!

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you 😊

[@cj_kirby]

Another beautiful day hiking with Sarah. Ever fearful of heights, some of those cliff shots made my knees weak and I was sitting down! Looking forward to the next hike.

[@sarahinscotland]

I'm always cautious near the cliff edges :)

[@gmctedd]

Loving seeing your journey, keep them coming, 😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@sarahinscotland]

More to come!

[@miriamgillham6701]

Sarah, the caves… Wow! I live in Australia and have been to many coastal part around the Northern part of our country and we have almost hardly any caves. At least where I have been. I find these caves soooo cool and they a re magical to me. What a walking journey you are having. It’s incredible. This is definitely a really fun hike!…. What an understatement. It’s so beautiful there. Are you getting really nimble footed by now. So much walking. The views are breathtaking, looking out along those cliffs, I want to be there. I didn’t like that drop. But all so interesting..What’s around the next corner? That painting of the cliffs caught the expanse of the view beautifully. Thank you again for taking us on these walks. So grateful.

[@VictorianStudio]

Beautiful Sarah... I have been catching up on your videos and really enjoying your journey. You are far braver than I! Those heights make me dizzy. I have been struggling to resume painting and drawing but your wonderful scenery is inspiring. I hope you don't mind I tried my first watercolour sketch in a very long time a few days ago from one of your videos. I haven't had the heart to do any artwork since the sudden passing of my hubby in July... but your videos are so wonderful I am trying to resume some sort of normality to my life again. Thank you so much for that.

[@sarahinscotland]

I wish I could hug you! Of course it’s OK and I’m glad my scenery inspired you to pick up the brush. Painting can be very relaxing and healing. I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find a way back to your art, until then, enjoy the scenery 💙

[@melissaamyx2196]

I feel like a hobbit on a journey with you! I'm so glad you're doing such a fantastic thing! So many memories you're creating and sharing with us 🥰🥰

[@sarahinscotland]

OMG I was thinking about how I feel like Bilbo starting his first adventure! 😜

[@melissaamyx2196]

@@sarahinscotland that's exactly it!

[@ayokakaiser]

I'm really enjoying coming along on your adventures - the coast is sooo beautiful! Hope to hike there one day - and paint / draw some of the amazing scenery. Thank you for taking us with you and carrying all the extra gear and making a lot of back and forth trips to set up and retrieve the camera!

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you :)

[@francinetoni268]

So enjoying these journeys with you Sarah! I really loved this one as the sea has my heart. I live in Colorado so I know you understand my melancholy!😜 Also, your lunch of cheese on buttered bread brought me back in time to when I lived in England for a bit. 😄. You’re quite a trooper! Carry on❣️

[@sarahinscotland]

It's amazing how different Colorado and Scotland are...next time I visit Colorado I'll probably feel like a fish out of water 😆

[@SarahNewburyArt]

Stunning Sarah! I was in Southampton on the south coast of England the other week and was reminded of my childhood trips to The Isle of Skye- not because of the scenery because it’s quite different but because of the smell of the sea, the seaweed and the salty sea air! It was wonderful. I’d love to go back someday but in the meantime, I’m really enjoying watching your travels and the scenery you so generously share with us! 😊

[@sarahinscotland]

Ahhh yes, nothing like a lovely stroll on the shore and suddenly inhaling the stench of rotting seaweed and fish 😂 I’m kidding. I know what you mean! Smells are so strongly linked to memory

[@rosita6124]

Your channel is new to me, love watching it. I know my new future place to go now! I did not realise how stunning Scotland is. Thank you for sharing and showing it to us all. Greatings from the Netherlands.

[@sarahinscotland]

I hope you get a chance to visit someday!

[@SereneStudio]

What a much needed change of scenery from the previous stretch! Lots of beautiful rock formations and delighful overlooks! :D

[@sarahinscotland]

Yes definitely the perfect change in scenery to keep me motivated!

[@ervinslens]

This is beautiful, shots are truly spectacular as well as narration. Scotland is simply breathtaking! 🔥🔥

[@sarahinscotland]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@deborahredmond8242]

Oh Sarah, this is delightful. Some of these remind me of the Oregon coast we visit frequently and I always bring my paints too. My favorites are rocks with eroded passageways or tunnels, and painting the west coast lighthouses. Before I retired, I had days off during the week and would hike weekly in the Sierras, swim in the lakes, paint. So I understand how nice it is to hike in solitude sometimes. Very meditative and close to nature. Hope you have a tide table app on that phone…..

[@sarahinscotland]

Yes, I have a tide app, it’s been (literally) a life saver! Time can kind of escape your thoughts while hiking, so I have to make an effort to check the app a lot. Or at least memorise the high/low times and base my decisions on that.

[@ESCHOIRvan]

These videos are delightful! Giving me some ideas for a Scotland vacation in the future! Thanks for sharing them!

[@sarahinscotland]

Glad you like them!

[@johnscott3714]

Great photography and artwork, Sarah. Don't go too close to the cliff-edges!

[@sarahinscotland]

Don't worry, I won't! The wide-lens of the cameras makes it look like I'm closer.

[@donnabulman3690]

love your walk and yes def watch to the end!

[@firdyk]

Beautiful again

[@an-mareenel3500]

Love it Sarah!🌠

[@karenjohnson6487]

Beautiful hike,Sarah. You got some awesome pictures. Well done.

[@bluewren65]

What a difference cooler weather makes to your experience when hiking! At least last time you had the amazing meal to arrive to. Imagine if the beach shack cafe was all that was awaiting you at the end of Ep 3! Still, a cheese roll, solid nourishment.

[@sarahinscotland]

Hahaha yea... The cooler weather puts wind under my wings!

[@iainrollo3525]

I grew up mile inland from Covesea, the white building is Gordonstoun lookout tower, used by Gordonstoun Sea cadets. There’s two ways to Sculptors Cave short rope abseil, only 8 feet or walk in at low tide. You can do the whole coast from Lighthouse to Hopeman at a low Springtide, it does involve some rock hopping along the coastline.

[@sarahinscotland]

I think I’d do the longer walk, just because I’m scared to use the rope!

[@quietlife7186]

Thank you so much for this beautiful video! Your paintings are gorgeous!

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you!

[@bettygrindrod8556]

My vertigo was going no, no ,nope, back away from the cliffs!!! Beautiful though :)

[@sarahinscotland]

Totally understandable!

[@stephanie_smith]

The geological features are stunning...Thank you for sharing all of the beautiful sceneries!! I'm hoping hubby and I can visit Scottland for our 25th anniversary or sooner as covid hit during our 20th so we did not get to do it up! He has a lot of Scottish heritage...it's on our bucket list!

[@sarahinscotland]

I hope you can! It’s such a beautiful diverse country

[@laurahale5774]

This is so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@sarahinscotland]

Thanks Laura 😊

[@kellyro77]

It must have sounded so wonderful listening to the waves roll those rocks by that tunnel. Might have to upgrade to a heavier-duty phone case for this adventure if you haven't already. Thanks again for continuing to share your adventure.

[@sarahinscotland]

Yes, I ordered a VERY rugged case, and new thicker screen protectors (and won't leave the house without them!)

[@rogerehinger6694]

Beautiful hike and scenery. I can understand your hesitation with regards to caves, I feel much the same about heights. You were making me nervous for a moment or two. You keep up with the hikes and your endurance will build and they will feel easier .

[@sarahinscotland]

That's my hope too. I do feel stronger overall, except a small ankle injury last week. But I have plenty of time to heal, leaving for America for 3 week family visit soon!

[@dianemannion2724]

Thank you for these hikes, Sarah! It's like visiting Scotland without having to pay for airfare. My husband also likes watching these, which surprised me. Love your stuff.

[@sarahinscotland]

I'm so glad you can enjoy it from afar!

[@lulabelle33]

It's amazing what you're doing...covering all the coastline not just the tourist set aside spots. Happy Labor Day Weekend from Michigan. I just had a dip in Great Lake Huron ahhhh. Summer I love thee

[@sarahinscotland]

That sounds refreshing 😄

[@adm58]

I've found screen protectors can earn their cost back in just one clumsy moment. Good to see the coast there.

[@sarahinscotland]

Yup, I’ve had screen protectors on all my phones, this is the first time I’ve ever cracked a screen. It just happened to be the ONE day I didn’t protect it. 😭

[@fuzzydragons]

Primrose Bay is gorgeous!

[@sarahinscotland]

It really was! As the light moved, so many interesting colors were revealed

[@FaithAnnNB]

Love the coastal videos, but as someone who is incredibly scared of heights, I had a tough time watching a couple of sections lol. Just got back from vacation where I hiked along the coast every day. I was doing it with only my phone to look after, not a backpack full of supplies. I took a TON of photos to use for painting references, hopefully they’ll tide me over until my next vacation. I enjoy the videos where you show your snack/meal at the end so I know you’ve rewarded yourself with a nice treat for all that effort! You haven’t topped the French toast yet ;) Seeing someone in the background wearing a parka with a fur-lined hood makes me think some people have a different definition of “cold weather” than I have. 15 degrees is not that chilly… perfect hiking weather anyway!

[@ronniel5941]

Don’t look at any Liathach videos, then !

[@sarahinscotland]

I don’t always go out to eat after the hike. A few times wolfy has made me the most AMAZING tofu bolognaise and it’s the best way to end the day! I’m so grateful that’s one of his specialties 😁 And yes, some people think Scotland is FREEZING all the time, even in summer ….meanwhile I’m in t-shirt and shorts!

[@KimsNJAdventures]

Wow, I'm loving this series, just caught up! Fantastic job with editing, storytelling and beautiful scenery and paintings of course! Ooh I just remembered you have art catch up videos too I need to watch. I hope you're feeling better now you've done a few parts and look forward to seeing the rest. Very inspirational, unfortunately the weather here is not so much! 😆

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you! Yes the weather has been gorgeous lately..much cooler and perfect for hiking!

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Inspirational hiking adventure! I really love this section of your hiking around Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Adventure the best so far. Yes definitely not worth you getting injured to hike parts of this section. Bring Wolfe so we can explore it in a future video adventure safely. I think that I love 💕 your new favorite spot too. So many things to paint just there. Definitely need to add this section of hiking 🥾 on my travels bucket 🪣 list. Thanks for sharing this wonderful fun video. Have a restful weekend and enjoy some downtime to relax!

[@sarahinscotland]

Wolfy would love to come along but he works at an office 6 days a week. Maybe some day I can afford to hire him full time!

[@Sundies_Art]

This was a beautiful stretch of coastline. Thank you for sharing with us Sarah.

[@manilowgirl9864]

I have been enjoying your vlogs of Scotland. I was just there in May 2022 but long to go back. I’ve even been looking for property there but that is just an older Mississippi gal doing some big dreaming I guess. I would love to stay a month sometime in the future at least! We fell in love with Edinburgh because that is where we stayed while in Scotland, but I’d love to check out other towns as well. Keep the vlogs coming because I’m living off of them until I can get back across the pond! ❤️

[@sarahinscotland]

You would definitely love it in Moray, I recommend staying in Cullen, it's a great spot to branch out from. So many spectacular walks nearby

[@manilowgirl9864]

Thanks so much for the reply and tips for my next visit! I will make a plan! I have told all of my friends about your vlogs so they can watch and enjoy as well!

[@pjk1714]

Beautiful! Likely hip the way you are compensating when landing foot. Could be posture or foot vs shoe. Apply some frozen pea elevated 3 minutes on 5 off. Take care and thanks

[@sarahinscotland]

Definitely something I’m keeping an eye on

[@scottishwifie14]

Fantastic video Sarah, will definitely need to go to Cove Bay it looks lovely.
