From a tired soldier I am so glad we have been forgotten about consistently and been denied pay increases for years, gotten less discount than students and NHS and will be bottom of the pile as per usual when all this ends... Thats not an attack on NHS workers just stating the truth. It was also fab to be told I wasn't a key worker by B&Q staff yesterday. Fml.

[@sanclewphotographic]

Thank you for what you do, you are simply wonderful, god bless you, regards, Colin.

[@andrewjditton]

You asked for longer - my goodness, you got longer! Pull on your seat belt, and enjoy the pre-'lockdown' journey through Scotland - my homeland. Home to the Hebrides. I never tire of saying that...

[@sosaidhrafferty4608]

You have no idea how excited we are to have this to watch tonight, the temptation is to watch straightaway but I am getting sorted and then we will watch with a glass of wine and breathe ever so deeply as we watch. Sigh ....

[@TheUphillracer]

Andrew, this is absolutely wonderful. You have raised my morale at this difficult time for us all. I’m sure many others will be similarly affected by this near hour of stunning viewing.

[@esvarwyn]

Real-time would have been absolutely fine. How about slow-motion next time?! ;-)

[@MalKyle1]

Wonderful, simply wonderful. Thank you Andrew. Many of the lyrics will be inappropriate but I couldn't help thinking of Run For Home by Lindisfarne. Your journey reminded me of the feeling of heading back home to Northumberland from school as a child. Lang may your lum reek Andrew

[@kohrsthomas]

One fine Day, we will be back. Back in this Garden of PEACE and BEAUTY. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. HONESTLY

[@markmclellan7146]

17:35 I never tire of watching this. After a long stretch at work I come home, get a few beers and switch this particular vlog on. I know this was the beginning of lockdown but that journey up was priceless. One of your best Andrew :-)

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Mark!

[@audreyfforbes-hamilton]

What is it about snow capped mountains that we love so much? Another sublime film from the master, and a fantastic advert for Scotland. Thank you Andrew for 50 blissful minutes’ entertainment. x

Stunning drive, with the snow on the mountains. Going to have to dig out my driving footage now you know!

[@pamelamoo5306]

That was absolutely stunning Andrew, I must admit to being a little tearful 😢 by the time you got to Morvich , it took me back to September and I knew every turn coming up along the the road. The beautiful scenery with the snow clad mountains is majestic. I will go up to bed and replay it again and dream of my next trip to wonderland. Thank you for taking time to do this and to give so much pleasure to all your friends, especially when we are missing our road trips .

Andrew, your descriptors for this trip did not overstate one iota. Thank you so much for letting me ride along, enjoyed every moment. Glad you and Dougal made it back safely. Shopping Fort William was and eye opener - here, without any need to, supermarkets were devastated. Coming back slowly, while queues have gone bare shelves still very evident.Keep safe!

The best 50 mins I have spent in the last five weeks! Thank you so much and so many memories of a trip I did thirty years ago! The weather was kind and the roads uncluttered it made for a wonderful drive. God bless us all at this awful time and I raise a glass to better times ahead! At least you haven’t had to clip Dougal like I have my two Poms. They have put me into isolation! As ever we will all look forward to ANYTHING you put out! Your editing is fabulous! Stay safe and well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Peter

What a joy! Over 50 minutes and I still didn’t want it to end. Thank you so much Andrew. I should have been meandering my way through Scotland and its islands on a one year sabbatical right now but of course it, like most things, is on hold right now. Take care and keep ‘em coming!

[@andrewjditton]

Glad you enjoyed it! And remember, Scotland isn't going anywhere :)

[@alisonalcock5218]

What a fabulous journey! Enjoyed every moment of it under that blue, blue sky. The familiar roads, the snowy mountains and, best of all, the sunset over the Outer Hebrides on board Clansman; what could be more beautiful? Thank you Andrew. Love to you and the Dougal dog xx

[@andrewjditton]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@irenedale5256]

I really, really enjoyed the journey too! Thank you so much. Take care of yourself and Dougal and I hope your Mum is well. 💕

Lights down, volume up, what an absolute TREAT!!! So many familiar landscapes traveled by train or bike or car brought back to life, thanks so much!! That first view of Harris coming over from Portree... pure magic!!! #home xx

[@andrewjditton]

Couldn't agree more! Hope all well your end my friend.

Thank you Andrew! This brought back memories from two years ago next month when my wife and I finally made it to Scotland. We were driving on those roads to Uig to catch the CalMac to Tarbert and on to Lewis. A trip we had planned for 2 years using your videos and help from a travel agent in Glasgow. It was a trip we will always remember.

There are some very sad individuals out there David.

What a beautiful trip you showed us. Thank you very much! A lot of views reminds us of Sweden and Norway, Norway for us till now the most beautiful country we visited and till covid 19 arrived our destination next june and july. We would like to follow your footsteps in Scotland and we hope we will in the short future, but now we have a second barrier, covid 19, next to the brexit that is still giving us the negative feeling not to be welcome on your island coming from the continent. (I know many, and maybe a majority in Britain and for sure in Scotland, is positive about Europeans from the continent, but it feels the other way..) But we keep up the good spirit witch means we will make this trip as soon as possible!! Stay healthy!
