[@davidpaterson2309]

Fun fact - there are 13 places called “Tarbet” (or various spellings of that name) in Scotland and all of them are at a low lying isthmus between two bodies of water. Because the name derives from the Gaelic words for “carry across” - so “carry (the boat) across (here)”.

[@ruthaisling]

That's so interesting, thanks for sharing! I'll look out for more Tarbet towns on my travels

[@Brian3989]

@@ruthaisling During the period when the northern and western islands were ruled by the Norwegians they claimed the southern portion of Kintyre, as they could move a boat across the isthmus. So obviously it was an island not part of the mainland! It is a long drive down to Southend. Campbeltown Airport was RAF Machrihanish.

Thanks Ruth; i went recently in early May in great weather after your recommendations. Gobsmacking and underrated part of Scotland for sure..... lets not make it too popular tho lol 😀. The windy road up to the light house is very challenging as you say especially when the early evening sun is low and nearly blinding you like when i drove there.... but so lucky there was no on coming traffic at the time. The drive on the smaller road up to and beyond Carradale overlooking Arran is stunning, but again quite winding.

Thank you for your wonderful video. I had been at Edinburgh 46 years ago as student. At that time, I heard the song of Mull of Kintire by Paul McCartney every day. It is nice song and I love it. From that time, vistting Mull of Kintire is my deam. But 46 years has passed. It may no chance to vist for me. But I am very happy to watch your video. I could see Mull of Kintire through your video. It is so nice land scape and lovery heath. I hope that you wil be fine and show us more Scotland. Than you again.

Hi Ruth, I look forward to watching your videos every Sunday. As they are informative and you focus more than other vloggers on the history,places and people of the area’s you visit. And you try to get a snapshot of life there. I thought you would have gone over to Davaar island which is in the Campbeltown bay. You can walk over to the island at low tide and there’s a cave with a painting of Jesus in it which has an interesting story behind it. Enjoy your time on Gigha 😊x

Loved your wee story regarding the lighthouse, I had a similar experience when in the middle of nowhere I discovered Todhead Point Lighthouse on the East Coast (half hours' drive north of Gourdon). Sadly, it was being dismantled, but the two workers from the Lighthouse Service very kindly let me have a (free rein) look around. The Scottish lighthouse and their outbuildings are so special and the attention to detail is amazing. Thanks, Ruth, for showing us yet another great part of Scotland.

Great video. The shopping you bought from Tesco's struck me as being a bit pricey, you just seemed to get a few basic items. I do like their unsweetened almond drink, which was in the clip. They have just announced record profits, and the prices just seem to keep increasing , so I signed a petition calling on them to reduce them a bit, instead of all the money going into the pockets of a few people at the top! All best wishes. ❤

Hello Ruth. A wonderful video of Kintyre. I come from Northern Ireland and having visited Scotland on many occasions, I have yet to check the Mull out.

Very Interesting, especially since I am off to Inverness in two days. Your vids made me realize how much of Scotland we have not seen, although I have been many times before, and this is my 3rd Fall trip in the last three years. I live in Nashville, Tennessee, and there are a lot of Scotch and Scotch Irish descendants in Tennessee, I have been trying to trace my Scottish roots (39%), but am finding it fairly difficult. I am also a Mayflower descendant, from my Dad's side, and that was a lot easier to research. Anyway, I have subscribed to your channel, and realize my daughter and I need to come to Scotland in the summer , rent a car, and drive around more. I do business in London, however, and always have to include some time there, and I am afraid of London in the summer, as most of the places I rent have no a/c. We have missed the tourist season this year, due to work schedules, so the tours of Cawdor Castle were closed. I am a retired English teacher, so Cawdor Castle was a must if possible, We have scheduled a private tour. Expensive, but I think it will be worth it. Anyway, I will continue to watch your videos.

When I moved there my new neighbour described the area as the biggest cul-de-sac in Scotland I have just watched your film on Jura as well and sadly never made it over to Islay or Jura but I did visit Davaar and Arran where my Dads family originate from. I look forward to future content as I often described my Banking career as a world tour of Scotland so I hope you cover or have covered some more of the places I worked.

Loved the video :) If you ever head this way again, ignore the signs on the saddell beach estate. I live 10 mins up the road and walk the beach a couple of times a week, you missed a real treat. I also highly reccomend Davaar island which you can only accsess while the tide is out, the artwork in the caves are truly stunning, such an amazing spot. Happy travels :)

Thanks for the tips! I will definitely visit Saddell beach next time.

Love the videos. A great vision of Scotland. As a Greenokian, I have no excuse for not visiting these places.

Thanks so much for watching, you are quiet close-by!

I love potato scones. However, you can't buy then anywhere in me so I leaned to make them myself. Another great video Ruth, very interesting. That's what I really love about your videos, there not (just look at this and look at that) you always have a great story and some great information to go with them.

I’m glad you enjoy the info! Thank you 🙏

Another great video Ruth, as someone who lives at the north of the Kintyre peninsula, it's great to see it as others see it. Are you showing Tarbert and the Crinan canal in future videos?

[@ruthaisling]

Thanks for watching! I don't have plans to at the moment, maybe when I revisit the area again. I'll be visited Gigha in the next video!

Thanks Ruth for showing us Kintyre, I have been thinking of exploring more of it. I also like the Ailsa Craig I can see it from my parkup here at Saltcoats. I am heading back to the wonderful Isle of Arran next week. Have fun.

The view of Ailsa Craig from the Ayrshire coast is just wonderful, I could stare at it all day haha! Have a great time back on Arran!

Ruth - another awesome video showcasing our wonderful country! I'm gradually watching my way through them. Another very quiet island I recommend is Vatersay. You can hike to the abandoned village and the beaches look like the Caribbean. I happened to be there on a warm weekend with people sunbathing on the beach! I'm going to be back in Arran soon with the intention of making a video this time! How do you cut out the wind noise? This is something I haven't managed to do!

毎回素敵な景色！蒸し暑い日本の夏からは想像出来ません。ルースさんの服装みてると涼しさを感じます。 無人ケーキ販売所！心ない人がいないんですね。 住み人達の素晴らしいさ感じます。 シーフード美味しそうでした。スコットランドにこんなに沢山の可愛い素敵な島々有ることをおしえてくてありがとうございました。 先日八幡平にいってきましたよ。秋田です。ルースさんお勧めの場所には行ける範囲で行ってます。😊

僻地では無人のケーキ屋台が安全なようだ！ 八幡平に行かれたとのこと、とても嬉しいです！夏の八幡平の気候はいかがですか？10月に行ったときは、もう信じられないくらい雪が降っていました！
