JURA. Personal Connections

Sometimes, a journey takes us to memorable places. This one is set on the remote Hebridean island of Jura with historic family connections.

Amazing. Tony Fleming videos are the best content on KZbin. Each one is a treasure.

[@daffindogtown]

They sue are!

[@easterislandhead9579]

Stayed in that bothy a few years ago when visiting Jura - woke up to see deer eating the kelp on the beach and a golden eagle circling overhead. so great to hear about the family that had it as their home. Magical place!

[@shirleyboy8859]

To be able to tell a story that has me smiling and tears in my eyes is a real art... You are a master of story telling Tony...Thank you for sharing .... :-)))))

[@celticislandgal]

Tears in my eyes also!

[@martin_vester]

Absolutely beautiful story! Thank you for sharing.

[@sheepdog1102]

Beautiful scenery and a great story.

[@gavinturner5565]

I used to visit Jura with my grandfather, on my father's side. He left Manchester in the late twenties early thirties. Met my Scottish grandmother on holiday and loved the Scottish hills. He would say that he could leave Glasgow and in twenty minutes drive to the hills. He never left!!! Loved the peace and serenity. Nearby, no too far, by Mull of Kintyre, Paul McCartney found the same raising his young family with Linda in the early 70's. Thanks for the memory Tony. Hopefully I can visit again one day in a ad-Venture two(too), lol.

Voice and narration is also great, not only scenery. Thanks for video.

[@FLGurl]

He actually does a video on how he does his videos - and it is so amazing. He really is a brilliant soul.

[@mikefrancis9707]

Thank you , for the insight into your world. I have been fascinated for a long time by the things in life , however small , that transpire into affecting a families lineage , or personal journey. The universe is a fascinating place. Best wishes

[@FLGurl]

How does one conjure such a story like 1984 whilst residing most seemingly alone on the side of a hill overlooking the water? There has to be more to this than we probably will ever know. Thank you for this magnificent video.

[@kenpole1840]

As a Scottish expat now living in Canada, I have fond childhood memories of summer holidays on the Mull of Kintyre -- seven decades ago!

[@georgeburns7251]

Very nice video. Thank you so much for sharing. Also great ending with you on the fan tale of Venture sailing away from Jura

[@frankbalowski1074]

Your voice and narrative is fabulous. Your Adventures are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@cantinhopaz3873]

Thank you, for letting us know about your very dear ancestor! Worth every effort to visit his birth place. This home looks very isolated today, I can imagine how it looked at the time you referred to. But the suroundings are gorgeous.

[@bobsteele1826]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@robinowen3058]

I hope you get back soon, lovely place with a wonderful history and connection.

[@Mark-pm9nh]

LOVE your vlogs . Always beautiful quality & content .. Amazing to hear about & see your family heritage . My Great Grand Father tried to book passage on Titanic when he was 18 but it was fully booked so he took the next liner to America . I probably would not be here if he had been on the Titanic . God bless . Mark (Toronto) 💦💦💦

[@stanfordbanks3399]

I have been following your adventures for years. I have seen the world through your eyes and it was magnificent my friend. I am sending you this note just too say this adventure was one of your best. Going back to your roots was a cool as it gets. I loved the beaches with the smooth rocks that were over 10,000 years old. Thank you for the adventures my friends I can't thank you enough. THE BANKS FAMILY

[@weebolddavy]

A wonderful story beautifully told and filmed. It's so nice to see my homeland from a view that is new to me. Love your vlogs Tony. 👍👍

[@DrCrabfingers]

What a superb video. A totally mesmerising film...I loved every second! Your yacht looked fantastic too.

[@bradirby2355]

I wonder how many people know so much about their ancestors from that long ago. Not many I think. Thanks for sharing.

[@celticislandgal]

Your videos are incredible. What a joy they are to watch. I could feel the pull of my island home calling me back to visit one more time.

[@Big.Ron1]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@philiphannum4211]

Well done. I had no idea of the beauty of that area of our planet.

[@bawbtherevelator6445]

Terrific,, Tiony. 160 years from your great-grandfather who wrote Gaelic prose. Yacht-building may be equally archaic 160 years from now but the histories of both will continue, no matter.

[@MalKyle1]

Wonderful on every count

[@allysonhanks9159]

[@allysonhanks9159]

[@hcrffi]

👍 Beautiful!

[@daffindogtown]

Brilliant story and well narrated.

[@TracksideNW]

Fascinating video once again. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@sgassocsg]

Fabulous story. Please continue, as I want more. Every time I see my mother land, I keep wondering where are the trees? Science tells us these lands were forested for eons. Where are they?

[@markfarnell183]

A wonderful story. Thank you

[@guimaraspc]

Awesome as always! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Guimaras Island PH

[@jeffcore7631]

[@neilebobbitt5396]

[@kungfuchimp5788]

Wonderful story.

[@rgboyte]

Awesome story.

[@MrGeroth]

Thanks for sharing.

[@anetajohnson8446]

A Master piece video! Dare I ask, Whos voice is that, that narrates your video? T he slight British accent, the soft tone, ranks with the best voice overs. is that you Mr. Fleming? or a someone you chose? And the story lines fit the scenes perfect! Thank you so much, for sharing your adventures! My favorite one is your trip to Norway, thats where my Grand parents came from, at the turn of the Century...

[@FlemingYachts]

Thank you. Yes, the voice over is mine. Tony Fleming.

[@africanleopard1920]

Your sailing videos are amazing and inspiring. It give me emotional comfort and relief from stress and strain we have every day life. Thank you. I want to sail on a wonderful voyage like you did. By the way - your recent videos have too much red color. It does not look natural. Please reduce "Hue" & "Saturation" feature in your video editor software when editing video. Anyway - we love your sailing videos. Thank you. We feel good when watching your beautiful sailing journey videos.

[@TheBigWWI]

Superb.

[@patriciarussell1177]

Memories

[@mcd5082]

Amazing

[@stewatparkpark2933]

Those " Palm Trees " look very similar to New Zealand " Cabbage Trees " .

[@slipshankd1307]

If you take a florescent lite at night some of the rocks will glow which means it is a fossil.

[@pauloakwood9208]

Palm trees in Scotland?

[@FlemingYachts]

The Gulf Stream passes up the West coast of Scotland on its way to Siberia which is why Murmansk is an ice-free port. The west coast of Scotland is therefore much warmer than would otherwise be the case. There is an almost tropical garden near Ullapool.
