Into Scotland's Last Wilderness | 4 Days in The Rough Bounds

Into the Rough Bounds, 4 Days Hiking in Knoydart , some call it Scotland's last wilderness. A serious place to go hiking and mountain climbing and can be impossible to reach when the weather is bad. I headed off from the campervan with my tent and enough provisions to hopefully see me through. Possibly some of the best conditions I have had when out camping on the summits.

One thing KZbin has taught me is that there are some incredible, talented, brilliant people on the planet.

[@GazTheExplorer]

Wow Murray! To have the motivation to do all of that while also filming at such a high standard deserves a lot of credit. Got to love how honest your films are and also the way you describe everything you have to overcome along the route. Those river crossings certainly looked relentless too. Well done on the editing of this film Murray. This would've took a lot of time to edit all the clips together whilst choosing the correct music for the scenery. What a great way to end the year mate! Don't think I've ever requested this to another camping channel but these 60-90 minute videos are great and it would be fantastic if you could produce more throughout this year. ATB Gaz.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Gaz - it was a trip I won’t forget any time soon :) - the edit took ages over the Xmas holidays but was fun reliving the adventure on the screen :) thank you for the kind comments - very much appreciated:) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@mozdickson]

I found that some loud Big Country and Simple Minds added value here and there as I watched!

[@philipwalker103]

I know. It's like he has a film crew. Great dedication to his art and an obvious love of producing this stuff.

[@bpslodge]

Bloody hell Murray! That was quite frankly one of the best hill walking vlogs I've ever watched The production is just stunning and the effort you put in to produce these films is amazing and very much appreciated. Once again thank you for taking us along on your trips and the appropriate use of the word "Bollocks"😂 Once again thank you for sharing Atb Brian

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Brian - high praise indeed - very much appreciated and glad you commented on my timing and use of the phrase ;) lol I was going to say something a little more severe but held back!!lol Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@markf4046]

Hi Murray - Greetings from Norway! This is the first video of yours that I have watched. It came up randomly on KZbin and I thought I'd give it a watch. I didn't think I would watch the whole thing without fast forwarding, but once I started watching I couldn't stop. You are not only a great hiker, but a great filmmaker as well. I loved your attention to detail when you set up the camera countless times to do the walk-by shots. I can't imagine how much extra time that added to your hike, but I appreciated the huge effort because it gives the viewer a different perspective rather than just carrying the camera while you hike. This won't be the last video of your I watch, as now I'm hooked. Thanks.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Mark - very much appreciated and welcome to the channel - hope you enjoy some of the videos here :) take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

This is just incredible, the views, your determination and epic filming. Moving the camera to show your journey takes some doing- especially on your own!! Absolutely loved it all. Thank you so much for sharing and a huge well done, what an adventure ⛰👏🥾🎒🌲Michelle and Andy

That was a stunning trek. Especially the light on the 2nd day and night. The inversion with the moonrise and sunset. Wow!

[@harrylinsdell8114]

Absolutely stunning, what pleasure to watch and so lucky you share these adventures with us. Gave up paying the TV licence a year ago and watching your vlogs and similar ones are way more entertaining. Cheers for the time and effort you put in

Thanks Harry - hope you enjoyed it - it was a special trip with special weather :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@bigjr9004]

This is the ultimate in Scottish hillwalking documentaries Murray. You had the experience to tackle this adventure, and yet it challenged you. You have brought us some of the most dramatic footage of such a beautiful area that we dreamers 'frequent'. Knoydart is the bees knees as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for your altruism for Scotland's scenery. And Scotland's Mountains.

[@Atomic_Haggis]

"I'll just watch 20 minutes then head to bed and watch the rest tomorrow." 1 hour later - Eyes glued to the screen. Beautiful journeys and views and the production quality is phenomenal.

@@ScotlandsMountains I fell down the rabbit hole of your other videos. I think it was about 3am when I eventually got to bed!

[@suebrown436]

Such a privilege to share this mountain hike with you Murray from the comfort of my sofa! I was just immersed in it for an hour this morning, then finished watching this evening. I cannot imagine how it must feel to be so alone, above the clouds, with the full moon on one side and rising sun on the other side of you. Wow!!

[@FitforAdventure]

Omg those conditions!!! I would literally die of excitement. Amazing video, thank you!

[@highpark527]

Amazing this is one of the best and most atmospheric virtual experiences of a wilderness summit I have ever seen online - truly enthralling and inspiring - surely a prize winner in the camera scenes and shot selections really well done

[@ronbryson7223]

Great weather for December and very ambitious of you to tackle such expedition so late in the year. Spectacular filming. I admire your patience stoping and setting up the camera. Such a great watch, bringing back a load of memories from my days on the hills. Well done to you.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Ron - not sure I would have entertained this route had the weather forecast not been perfect with that blocking high pressure sitting nicely over the north west highlands - a great adventure was had and not sure I will experience those conditions again too soon :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@PMCN53]

That was an epic outing & climb, I admire your resilient attitude and determination. The rewards were breathtaking views and the sense of achievement! I’m sure you captured some beautiful images. thank you for taking us along for the journey.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thanks Phil Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@ProfPete]

Murray - what a trip - the isolation, rough terrain / lack of paths, river crossings, short December days, & a couple of bad steps too - EPIC! thank goodness you had decent weather...

[@sapphieburry5216]

You are having all the luck with the inversions! The image of you making your way up to the summit with the brocken behind you is spectacular😍 what an adventure 👏

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks - getting above the cloud just literally before summiting Ben Aden was just wonderful, I think the look on my face said it all :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@OldOwl2003]

I’m so glad you got back to the van in time, defo no need to apologise Murray, you took us so far to rugged isolated and emotive landscapes probably sacrificing your own enjoyment along the way. It was Majestic and I’ve done a bit of sharing onto my twitter account, it’s just such a privilege to be up there with you, so we can experience these moments of sheer wonderment with you, this is one of my favourites for a few reasons, one being the safety warnings and the seriousness of the ascent and descent in such rugged terrain, I thank you deeply for carrying us all in your backpack , god we must weigh a few tonnes ! 😄 with the deepest respect Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Alaya - this has got to be one of the finest adventures I have experienced - especially getting above the cloud on the first mountain top - it was like winning the lottery :) What a trip in a fantastic location - hard to beat the rough bounds of Knoydart for sure :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@OldOwl2003]

Aye Murray, sod the lottery I’d rather make that view any day, I’m not joking either ! Old owl 🦉 Alaya

[@senorlimpio2925]

Little wonder they call it bonnie Scotland . absolutely stunning , thank you for sharing

[@OldOwl2003]

Of course I’m going to watch this one as well ! Your story telling is superb Murray, it’s so emotive, I nearly cried when you left Inverie, that feeling of not wanting to leave, are moments that memories are made of that never leave your mind, it’s like a small death that you grieve, especially if you think your not returning, that’s why I’m watching the first one in the wrong order, Ahhh Murray, your warnings are much appreciated at the beginning and surly set the stage for what I believe will be an arduous adventure, thank you deeply Murray for making this incredible content available to us, you have no idea what it means to us that can no longer do it, brings tears to the eyes Murray, bless you Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

PROPER CRACKING MURRAY, I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS, THE STUFF YOU CHOMP ON MAKES ME LAUGH, SAYS ME WHO SITS IN MY LITTLE FLAT AND EATS CRAP, YOU ARE A STAR, THANKS SO MUCH. WE DO APPRECIATE ALL YOUR EFFORT.

Wow Murray you made a movie. I've decided this is going to be my Saturday night TV with a glass of two of wine. So although I'm commenting, I'm waiting until the weekend to watch.

[@barbararadzeviciusbondi4150]

Loved watching this expedition into the Scottish mountains. Its 2 years later and I'm watching you in a heatwave 35°C here in Bondi NSW Australia Jan 2024. So exciting to see the summits and the night sky.

[@rossmcfarlane6687]

Another stunner, Murray. Can't wait to get my socks and shoes off, and get grounded.

[@OldOwl2003]

Ahhhhh Murray I’ve just been blown away with that ridge walk with the rainbow Buddha sitting atop noir dairich ( excuse my spelling I tried from memory) I was totally mesmerised, and the moon and the sun in the sky at the same level at the same time is worth all the talking about indeed ! I really know what your talking about when a good sleep avails you, an you don’t want to leave your maggot ( sleeping bag) what a place ! You camped at, I can only dream about these places now, this information just was not available 27 years ago, now I feel like I’ve missed so much it hurts ! Yet at the same time because of you I haven’t, I can’t thank you enough Murray, bless you 🙏 Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

Hi Murray 😊❤just another beautiful, magical mythical place in scotland again.. The sun is magical after being isolated from it for a while then it warms you up at the next corner 😀👍♥️♥️🇬🇧stay safe and sound mate... Beautiful... Been loving the geordie phrases Murray 😂😂😂😂

[@zcsccg1]

Very good presentation. Excellent. What's your main job?

[@annlowson258]

You deserve every bit of that wonderful inversion, Murray! What an epic adventure! It's a gruelling enough undertaking just focusing on the walking but to add the superb camera work on top of that is awesome!! Thank you so much for all your brilliant, truly professional films and this one is definitely up with your best! Without a doubt your videos are the best programmes I watch!! 👏👏

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thanks Ann- very much appreciated :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@Newnameinheaven]

Great film, really enjoyed that, thanks. I always find with river crossings that if I wear my waterproof trousers over the top of my gaters it forms an air pocket inside the leg that doesn't allow the water to rise above gater level.......if your quick that is !!!

[@janetturner7489]

Murray this is just epic. The drive along the road with the deer and owl, 👍and the Eagle oh how fab. I will not repeat any other comments but I have to say that I think it's good you give H&S advice on the way though. Thanks for introducing me to this superb part of Scotland. I don't mind long vids. Thanks for the the trouble in making them, Murray, take care.

[@OldOwl2003]

Ahhhh Murray day fours title has my palms sweating “ two steps between heaven and hell” I guess I’m blessed that I know you came out of this relatively Good. As this content was finished and uploaded, but it isn’t helping me right now I can tell you, I bet all of your followers feel attached to your safety and well being, yet also know your experience will guide the way… I know I’m watching this retrospectively but if I could have prayed for you at the time, I as many others would have done so, that I know, now I’m going to watch the rest and see what befell you, my guess is it was a close call, but your experience guided you out at the right second, all faith in you Murray ! Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

[@richardpoynton4026]

Gobsmacked! I know your films of the Scottish highlands deserve more poetic praise, but this was the first word I could think of when i saw (57:29) the clouds between the mountains being hit by the sunset sunlight. Amazing!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Richard - this was a special mountain adventure indeed :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@WalkWithWallace]

Stunning mate, one of the best and I'm not even finished the video yet. Really got me thinking of a long awaited return to Knoydart. Just finished and first of all, full respect for heading into this area during some of the shortest days of the year. That was quite epic pairing up those two Corbetts. Looking at the map you covered a lot of rough ground. The loch you crossed in between, I'm sure Hamish Brown once said it was one of the finest spots to wild camp in Scotland. 🏕

[@ScotlandsMountains]

It would make a stunning wild camping spot TBH Robin - ideally placed for these two mountains too (unless there thick fog though!lol) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@ScotlandsMountains already planning with Kev. 😁 I reckon we'll go in from Dessary though so might miss the loch.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

@@WalkWithWallace it’ll be epic any way you choose - such stunning scenery round every corner up there 👍👍

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@daveg-j1866 I thought so. I've only seen it from the CWT but it looked wild and remote in there. Murray's vid confirmed that.

[@marianfrances4959]

I’ve got a feeling you may need another night in the tent, because you did the right thing, you enjoyed it ! Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

One and a half hour? It's as long as a movie for the cinema. Imagine the number of people who would be involved in such a movie, but you held all the functions yourself. And I couldn't stop watching. Respect!

They keep getting better - a great video of a great area in stunning conditions- hard to believe it was December. Brought back memories of my trip in to do those Corbetts - cheated a bit and paddled up Loch Cuaich in our Canadian Canoe and camped near dams. Happy days !!!

Wow thanks Murray I am thinking of backpacking into Ben Aden this April but going to include sgurr na ciche so I was interested in seeing the river crossings excellent video as always thanks

Got similar plans myself, been after Ben Aden for years now. 😁

I am going to follow a route in Dan Bailey s book great mountain days in Scotland which is a circular walk including the Munro’s near by which I have previously done but not Ben Aden my problem is that I look like Kim jong young and am his size so I need to lose weight lol

[@rickiclarke8154]

Thankyou for these videos, i recently decided to give hiking, and wildcamping a go, as being a mountain biker i rarely get to stop and see what's around me. I thought these sort of videos would be boring to watch, and only started watching them for idea's on what to take and where to go. As i've watched your video's i've appreciated your film making and the quality that they are. But they have also given me inspiration to go out and see some of these stunning sights you document. I've never seen a cloud inversion nor have i seen a brocken spectre and i look forward to hopefully see these this year and maybe even the northern lights. Looking forward to your next one!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hope you get to experience them at some point - such a fine phenomenon :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Well I know I said I was waiting for Saturday night to watch this, however after an hectic day at work, I though this would be perfect to unwind to. And you didn't disappoint Murray. Fantastic 1 hour 28 minutes, absolutely loved it. The river crossings, the long walk in and out, the inversion, the tricky ridge in the only bit of snow, the summit views. This had it all and I'm so glad you didn't cut the video down. The time flew by while watching it. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and put out this one Murray. Loved it. Anyway here's to the next adventure, and as always stay safe. ATB.

I did not realise that people would climb these hills. You are right about that lack of people, you could lie until you die on these hills if you got injured. I first passed under both of these hills on a traverse of Knoydart from Morar Station to Kintail in late December 71. At that time we were assailed by cold horizontal rain for four days. The whole experience was terrifying, I did not think the sun ever reached Knoydart. December 73, I with friends did a Glenfinnan to Kintail traverse that included the track on the north shore of Loch Quioch. You are right about the river half way along the north shore. In the end we went some way down the river, and then over the ridge down to Kinloch Hourn. Thence past the Saddle down to Glen Sheil, and on to the Kintail Lodge Hotel for a well earned pint.

Its a rough and remote area of Scotland for sure - sounds like you had an epic adventure on your trip there - such great memories from these mountains and landscapes :) Take are and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Another cinematic wonder, I absolutely love this scenery and you're a true ambassador of our country. If you keep filming we will keep watching. 💯 thanks again, it must take you some amount of time to edit them. It's appreciated.

Epic, Murray! The word epic is overused when compared and contrasted with this trip out! My goodness. Knoydart had a little of everything, adventure, measured risk, isolation, ridge walks, inversions, spectres, sunrise/sunset, lone camp, more of an expedition really - absolutely brilliant. Really enjoyed it and massively appreciate the huge amount of research, planning and effort travelling to these places for you to take us along for the ride. Cheers, Murray! More strength to those Steaming Boots lad! 👌👍🏻😎🙏🙏🙏🥃

Thank you - it certainly felt like an epic trip - especially when I had to add a day onto the trek!!lol The cracking weather certainly helped though:) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Hello there. What a lovely place. It's very lunpie and craggy up there. It's a good skyline that a good sign of a good day.

Extraordinary! I’d often wondered about Knoydart? Having read about its once thriving community before the clearances! I’m sick in bed at the moment in London, and having recently discovered your channel was enthused to see this. I’ve hiked and run in and around Glencoe, ran up and down Ben Nevis. And now that I have two new hips and have been treated successfully for blood cancer. I can’t wait to get out and in amongst it all with my fast growing wee boy of nine. The footage, the music, and the commentary here was smashing. The whole thing showed what can be done when willing and able. Really loved this. Although I’m still not sure how you know which water is good to drink. I remember drinking from a stream in Glencoe! It was the best tasting water ever..

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you - much appreciated - I wish you a speedy and quick recovery and hope you get back to the mountains soon Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Superb video Murray, your editing and background music choice creates a great atmosphere perfect to watch and chill out before bed

[@dreamingorca]

This is awesome. As a professional in the broadcast industry, I'm very impressed with the level of camerawork and audio and editing here. I've been dying to go to Knoydart for ages and this video has given me the motivation to get fit, get some hiking days under my belt, get kitted out and attempt this sometime this year. Still can't grasp how you managed to get three days of calm blue skies in the West of Scotland in what has been a truly grim, endlessly overcast and bleak winter.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

I too struggled to grasp it - so many days of fine weather in the north west highlands ;) must be a recordlol TBH I got lucky with the high pressure settling in just as I was headed on my annual leave from work - the timing couldn't have been better:) Hope you get up there this year and experience similar weather Take are and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@neilmetcalfe5261]

What an amazing place and such incredible conditions to be there. Many thanks for sharing Murray. Another fabulous post.

[@mistymountains360]

if you need a second vote for Amazon Prime to pick this up , I'd go for that also , well done Murray and I was a bit worried for you when I saw the name of chapter 3 , glad you made it out in one piece .

[@SteRumbelow]

That was just utterly spectacular. Thanks for sharing this, Murray.

[@andrewbriggs1962]

An absolutely stunning video. It shows me why I love both Scotland and photography so much. To hell with "normal TV" when you can spend an evening watching this instead. On those mountain tops it's pure heaven and your cheery personality is perfect. Fantastic!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Andrew , it certainly felt like heaven up on the tops on this adventure - what a great time I had in Knoydart and cant wait to return :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
