MY ORKNEY ADVENTURE! - Shearing sheep in one of Scotland’s most northerly islands! (Long Vlog)

[@heartstonecampground1081]

I made it to the end! My husband’s family came from the Orkney islands, from Folsetter Farm originally...and here we are in Tennessee raising sheep a few generations later. Funny ole world, isn’t it?

[@meghanplamondon8639]

A man climbs up and over a few mountains, calls them hills, ...flips a 4 wheeler on himself, says it’s just a wee cuddle, has dogs that fly over fences like a graceful bird: must be a Scott! Such a good video Cammy, loved the high shots with the drones, and yes, I watched to the end. I could have watched for an hour,however, when you and Sean got to talking, your accent really came out and I was so glad for the subtitles, lol. I wondered at times if you could even understand each other when you got going fast. Lol. Can’t wait for part 2.👍👍👍❤️❤️🐑🐑🐑

[@TheSheepGame]

Haha u translated that beautifully! He’s a hardy big lad! Wild Orcadian accents can be hard to pick up. Well done 😊

[@emilyrottkamp2540]

I'm so sorry but I have rewind the video several times to watch the bird hit your head and got a good laugh. What a wonderful way to start my day. THANK YOU for not editing it out.

[@chrisoconnor5880]

An old Scottish shepherd in NZ told me always let stock ( sheep or cattle) think they are getting away from you, and the more you dog a mob, the slower it will move, best advice a young shepherd ever got, and never forgotten

[@Hailstonepie]

I think Im in love with a viking lol. Bless him. Could listen te his brogue all day long.

[@TheSheepGame]

You'll need to join the queue! 😉

[@Hailstonepie]

@@TheSheepGamejust gotta get him to do some more. Lol good show Cammy x

[@howarddavies9677]

Watching it again Cammy, only Big Sean could have a wee cuddle with a 4 wheeler ...... Great stuff

[@DiRaeK61]

It’s really great to see another way of farming sheep. I just love the day-to-day farming stuff.

[@JohnBrown-cn2qz]

It's not too long! This is so interesting. I just found your channel about a week ago, so now I'm watching it all. Sean! what an interesting character! I'll never get tired of watching all these sheep and their farmers. Thanks, Cam, for doing a great job!

[@kristinacleveland1805]

Wow, great video! The Viking didn't roll the bike, he said they had a 'wee cuddle'! hahaha

[@georgegoertzen4723]

Shawn's even harder to understand and add you.... I'm lost in a foreign land... land where my ancestors came from... but the making do with what you have on hand still runs deep! And that blue of the rope is my favourite blue!

[@catherine_404]

Shaun's nephew introduction was perfect. When possible, you should tell smaller participants off your videos, (but also older ones, they too deserve recognition) that people love them all appearing. It always cheers me up seeing those kids.

[@regenesteffen2814]

Even the foggy/misty/cloudy drone shots were beautiful.

[@thomasduerksen458]

Made it to the end. It always amazes me these functioning old buildings. I can only imagine the hours put into building them.

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah it’s a very interesting one! The drone is great for that!

[@barbalbers8920]

Watched it. Love the drone footage. Fantastic buildings. I thought that dog was going to eat you!

[@debbiekinnell9349]

Love love Sean’s voice and commentary x

[@juliebarker1531]

I love Orkney and the scenery is terrific Matched perfectly by Sean's commentary

[@TheSheepGame]

Glad you enjoyed Julie!

[@forcomgee9087]

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Hoy - many thanks Cammy and Big Sean,

[@brandonsfarminglife2367]

Great video Cammy & the Viking! The scenery looked amazing the day before you got there. Congrats on getting over 10,000! Looking forward to part 2...no it's not too long- great content!

[@TheSheepGame]

Cheers mate!! And that jacket is packaged up for the post tomorrow!

[@Baldevi]

I made it to the end, and I enjoyed it all, that dog being so anti-Cammy then running off to get to work was great, sorry the dog alarmed him, lol. More of Orkney next!

[@alicegamble6145]

Great video. Those old stone buildings just amaze me. That they have been there for so many years & are still in use is amazing. It just shows the workmanship that was put into them without all the fancy equipment we have today.

[@TheSheepGame]

Yes definitely some amount of workmanship went into those old building Alice, some amount of time it would have taken too!!

[@janedaniels7645]

Really enjoyed this video.wonderful scenery and loved the farm set up. The drone pictures were great showing the sheep being divided.

[@kasie680]

Im watching again and I had the subtitles on cause of the wind and to understand Sean and everytime the sheep bleet it says Applause! 😂😂😂😂

[@scottleichliter1413]

Just completed the video. Fantastic. Glad to catch your latest...since I'm quite busy shearing in Pennsylvania right now. What epic hills! I thought our mountains were great, but I don't know what the dogs and I would do on those cliffs! Great videos! Keep them coming!

[@TheSheepGame]

Cheers Scott! Appreciate the comments!

[@neferina5178]

Really enjoyed the longer video and the history from Sean was great. Good job !

[@TheSheepGame]

Cheers Nikki. Aye he’s getting good now!

[@victoriabulger9589]

I made it to the end! Only a year late 😂 what a fantastic video! The landscape of Scotland is just unreal.

[@TheSheepGame]

You legend Victoria! Thanks!

[@WhirlyPearly]

We were going to The Orkneys via John O Groats and our trip was cancelled because of the wind. The early ferry had no wind and ignored the wind warnings and didn’t make it back until 11pm. We had to make do with Castle Mey. Nice but not what we went for, thanks for supplying one of the biggest things we came to Scotland for. Edited for spelling 😆

[@westzed23]

Great photography. The drone shots are amazing. It's interesting to see how the sheep are living in the rough cliffs, and then how they're brought down to be sheared. I hope to get to Scotland in a few years, and now I have to add the Orkneys to my list of places to visit.

[@aaronblack2897]

Thanks for keeping the videos coming, we've enjoyed them all, you guys have such a great attitude, keep it up!

[@TheSheepGame]

Thank you! Will do!

[@chichitex1252]

My goodness! What a beautiful place!❤❤❤

[@joanzieger9798]

Made it to the end! Easy to do since I'm fascinated with your work, country, scenery, weather, brogue, and sense of humor. Thanks for another wonderful adventure while I'm snuggling in my warm, cozy bed.

[@ellenanthony8017]

I'm two years late, but I watched the whole thing. Those hills are steep! And those water-collecting roofs are brilliant! Smart old people!

[@kayediefendorf4940]

Oh my stars, those sheep farmers are so lucky to be living in such a beautiful land! I love your videos of Scotland. I've got English and Scotish in my ancestry and love to see where my Mom's side originally came from.

[@richardgray9527]

That's a breath taking an beautiful place 😍

[@TheSheepGame]

Aye was amazing! Will try get to the gather day next year with Drone!

[@kathleenjordan6875]

Finished part 1. Cammie, your brogue has gotten more pronounced in Hoy!! Love my Scot’s heritage!!

[@TheSheepGame]

Still easier to understand than Sean tho🤣

[@judyphillips7892]

Of course I watched to the end! It's an absolute joy to see you and Sean together again. Was that Emma trying to keep out of camera range in the blue jacket? Beautiful scenery, and good friends. You made my day. On to part two now.🐏☺️

[@willieclark2256]

I love getting the Scots glossary along with the sheep

Cheers Jimmy! Hoepfully have it for Wednesday!

[@magsprettejohn2160]

This was a brilliant video, loved it. Wow what an amazing place and another interesting building too. You and Sean together are dynamite comedy and he really should do more filming he is very good at it. Congrats on exceeding your target and getting that bike loaded. lol.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks for all the nice comments Mags! We have a good laugh together and are very competitive! 😁

[@gracerobertson4330]

Brilliant video Cammy love crack between you and Seany. I clipped up at Orgil many years back, but your session looked at bit more organised. Don’t clip many now, it’s a young person’s game. So thank you I am enjoying watching your travels around the country.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Grace! Was a great experience for me! Amazing part of the world. We are over the other side of Hoy in the next video.

[@gracerobertson4330]

Cheers David! All good fun! Might get out your way next year!

[@jldisme]

What a job! Fascinating to see how Sean works and also how beautiful the island is. Sean's comment about how he has a flat ass was so hilarious. It would have been some laugh If you and Sean running towards each other had been slow motion with romantic music. lol Outstanding drone footage, Cammy! Please tell Sean that the helmets with the pointy visor in front are very dangerous.A friend of mine got thrown from the front of his quad bike, and visor caught in the ground.. He suffered a pretty serious neck wound and head wound, and he had to do almost a year of physical therapy.-Jo Lori D.rake from West Virginia

[@elizabethandcookie4816]

Completed it! Just started watching your channel this week and I love it. Between you, Sheepishly Me, and a friend going to a farming college, I think I am falling in love with sheep

My Husband has always wanted to visit Orkney Islands, thank you for sharing, Elliot Lake , Ontario Canada

[@waadfrelle]

My visit to the Orkneys was magical, such gorgeous landscape, for me competing for best landscape ever with the Isle of Skye. This was such a fun vlog (yes, I am 1,5 year late, who cares). The dividing of sheep to sheer and the lams, is so smart! The drone footage awesome. Dreagh (written like that?) In Lima Peru they call it 'garua' = mist from sea, a wet day indeed. In Netherlands we just say: kutweer :)

Beautiful island, but looking at it on the map, the area for hardy people only. Congratulations on exceeding your goal, up the number for next year. This has been fun watching.

[@TheSheepGame]

Brilliant thanks Judy!! Got there a lot easier than i expected 😁

[@kalgaramerinos7085]

Breathtaking video - definitely not too long. Really enjoyed the hill muster, some skill and local knowledge at work there for sure. Really fascinated to see the steading infrastructure that's required for such a challenging environment, centuries of local knowledge still relevant and being used. Fantastic. In Nov 2009 Sarah and I spent a week on Skye. My Edinburgh born brother was our host and guide. It was freezing (we too mist the Cuillins....) but the sheep we saw didn't seem at all bothered, I remeber wondering at the time how the heck you got them dry to shear......

[@irishtony965]

Well done to both of you, I enjoyed watching someone else gathering a hill!

Yep, watched it and wanting more! What a gorgeous place, even when it's gloomy. Question: why would the roof of the sheep barn have parts built into the roof that point to the floor instead of the sky? Seems to me that invites big water problems, eventually, and who wants a mucky barn floor?
