Willie, Sarah and their pup, Jack Spaniels continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving their suburban life and moving over the sea to 'Live The Skye Life'!
Watch the ups and downs as we make the move to this magical island, off the West Coast of the Scottish Highlands. We thought finding and successfully buying a house would be the difficult part, but we didn't expect such difficulty when it came to selling our current house in Fife...did we pick the worst time to move house?!
Find out if we made it to our century old dream cottage at the end of this video!

My father was from Aberdeen but his job took him to South America (Peru) where I was born. Every vacation we would go back to the UK and the first place we’d go to was Scotland, stopping at the “Scotland” sign for him to stop the car in order to fill his lungs with obviously the better air over the border. He taught me so much about his beloved home and the people. It wasn’t hard to fall in love with both. Now, at 70 I still return whenever I can even though I live in Florida. Our house even has a Scottish name which the postman still can’t pronounce! Good luck to you both and enjoy a wee dram of the gift the sellers left you. Slange Var! 🎈👏👏 xxx

I think Vettriano's paintings are so full of atmosphere and beauty, unlike other artists today. For years most so called art experts have put his work down, ha have they made fools of themselves, because his works are far more appreciated by the public at large. I like the wood inside the cottage, it gives a nice natural feel. Remember once you paint over the wood, you will have to repaint it forever, or as long as you live there. The architrave around the windows and doors looks wonderful, don't hide it.

This really evokes a lot for me and it’s absolutely a delight. I look forward to to every video. By the way, we had the sweetest spring water out there but the house had to be completely rebuilt by my dad, who wondered who held the roof up while they built the house under it. Now I live in a house close into downtown Portland, you can take the girl out of the city…. But, we have a large lot with huge trees so it’s a bit of both worlds. Wishing you three the best!

You are showing areas like Sarah vlog I've never experienced despite us being there years ago. You have an incredible skill set for music. Art will thrive there and more work sold being there expanding your viewers. It appears, 2023 will be a good year for you. You might even pay the Byers up fit from your channel in time. Algorithm for Skye is massive and certain everyone agrees Jack deserves this life. Hope you stay warm and have a wood burner to compensate. It's hard to believe you have wild horses off your back yard with tide down. You found a hidden gem, now make it your own. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to following your journey to accomplish.

Dear Willie, Sarah and Jack Spaniels: congratulations on your new house purchase, the sale of your home in Fife, and thank you for letting us tag along with you on the journey to Skye, as well as the tour of your new cottage. It's such a lovely place. I love the natural honey-colored wooden paneling. Happy Birthday 🎂🎁🎉 to Jack Spaniels! He's such an adorable, handsome and hilarious pupper. He puts a smile on my face every time I see him. How you managed to keep him out of the water at Strath Mashie (?hope I spelled that right?) is a miracle considering how much he loves to get wet! I loved seeing the wild horses on Skye. Here in my home state of North Carolina, on the Outer Banks, we have wild ponies that are ancestors of horses that survived the numerous shipwrecks caused by the shifting sandbars and tides off our coastline - nicknamed the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and the happiest of New Years for 2023 to you all!

Such a long way for you guys to drive, to your new home, and such fantastic scenery. Jack seems so happy to be in your new home, with you two, his loving people! It is stunning - the property, and the surroundings, just beautiful. It is so lovely that you have your own water supply, I have owned two homes in Devon where we had the same, and I do not drink tap water now, as I am now on mains! Nothing beats your own water. I love your home, and the views from it are stunning. Jack Spaniels is going to love it there soooo much with your two, and all that water to have fun in!

I think to leave the wood panels as they are, it adds such a warmth and cosiness to the cottage. Also the kitchen is lovely. The handles on the kitchen cupboards remind me a bit of Celtic knots, do not know why. I can relate with you about moving and packing in a short time. I have moved many times across the oceans and the last one was from the Netherlands to the UK in 8 weeks and had to pack up 22 years of stuff in that time and a lot went to charity and it is just amazing at how much you collect. I was still cleaning, painting and scrubbing on our last night in our house, I was totally exhausted.

Congratulations on moving in! My dream adventure would be to visit a cottage in Scotland, Lowlands, Midlands, or Highlands I don't care, just Scotland pleeeeease. I am happy I found your channel for completely selfish reasons. But the fact that you are both so adorable, Willie's accent is beautiful and Sarah is so sweet and JACK!!!!! what can I say about Jack, it is so much fun to watch your channel that this 'ol Canadian lass smiles and chuckles the whole time. Take care, thanks for sharing, and see you next time. 😗😗🐶

Hey Willie, Sarah and Jack! Watched your first video the other week and was delighted to see another one come out! I wouldn’t ever normally sit for over half an hour watching a video, but I couldn’t help it with you guys! Your friendliness, creativity, and positivity is utterly inspiring and I was smiling the whole way through! Just wanted to say a big hello and I wish you all the success in the world for your new move and your new adventure! See you on the next one! Best wishes, Damian

Hi Sarah, Willie, And Jack. ( Did I ever think I would say hello to a dog?) I just did. Just subscribed. And we are staying with you!! You are a breath of fresh air. Talented, and also, very professional in everything you both do. So many things to say about your videos. The singing, and the tiny bits of incidental music that you drop in everywhere. As far as were are concerned. You are now our favorite channel. How about that? !! And we sub to 44 channels. Plus we love Scotland. Keep up the good work. Dave and Diane in flattish Suffolk UK xx

Think the reason you's have had so many yotube views is because you's are living a life that many of us dream of having some day.giving up the hustle & bustle for a cracking little cottage with stunning views 24/7 and fresh air aplenty is a new way of life that im sure you's wont regret!all the best in your new adventure 😁

I cannot understand why you are so blown away. I love Scotland I was in faslane in the RN. Also spent a lot of time on sky and the Kyle of lochalsh. Scottish history is my thing.. my granny new a lot and took me to see the battle sites and castles when I was a kid. We are from Yorkshire so no Scotts blood. Granny was Welsh. You are both very talented people and very normal. I can relate to your honesty about life.. i Wish u both all the luck in the world following your dreams. And will continue to watch your progress..and the ads so I can help a little towards your future. Be proud of yourselves not many artists can actually make a living from just being an artist. You are having a good bash at it. Myself and hubby are renovating an old farmhouse in the volcanic Eifel in germany. It takes time and a lot of money which we don't have. What we do have is love and peace.. we have each other. And 4 horse's...our dream. We are living it on a shoestring..we don't need a lot.. we cherish the small things in life.. foraging.. our own garden. Living simply. Xxx enjoy it guys.

Watched episode 2 last night, woke up the this morning with the theme song in my head (it's still there!) I don't mind cause i love it, everything about that music makes me happy. I am not surprised at the reaction to your channel, I fell in love with it straight away. I live 20 thousand miles from you (in New Zealand). Some of your scenery is similar to ours and i love that. I love the remoteness and the wildness of where you are. Your house and stone shed are just beautiful. Thank you for taking us on your journey. Glad to see that Jack keeps you both in line LOL till next time .............

Hi Willie and Sarah and of course Jack. So good to see your move into your new home. It was very stressful I’m sure waiting for the cottage and selling your previous home. Thanks for that first tour. It was amazing to have a nearly fully furnished cottage to start with. You’ve got such a lovely view. Take care. Nick

I'm really looking forward to your following videos. You have a place ready to move into. You can easily wash down the panelling to give it new life. Then spend the rest of the winter organising your garden for the spring and planning little projects about the house. But don't stress yourselves out enjoy your surroundings and take each day as it comes.
