Starting The Journey: Island Crossings and Majestic Mountains

[@John71]

Thank you Murray, beautifully filmed as always, we are being spoilt, Skye and Harris 😍😍 I did not know it was a mixture of Norse and Gaelic. It is a truly stunning mountain 😁 The one with the rainbow, what a photo!!

[@thesolidsnakealpha]

Can't wait to get back up to the highlands come June. There's a peace there unlike anywhere else. God bless you and your family this Christmas and beyond, Murray.

[@SharkytheGunzel]

Definitely my favourite photo is the rainbow in the glen. The Aurora is a close second. Really looking forward to this adventure series!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thanks - Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the upcoming remaining 8 videos from the series Have a great Christmas ATB Murray

[@RonBryson-i2k]

Awesome Murray. What a mountain. I have a chalk drawing of one of my dogs ( now departed) Robbie one of our Golden Retrievers standing next to that round trig point. This was day 3 of my first venture into the Cullins and Robbie and his brother Rory did not want to leave the summit. Turns out the poor we souls paws were tender on the Garbo rock and 3 days was just too much. They did not go back to Skye with me but did do around 240 of the Munro’s plus all the doublers and trebblers. Great footage once again just creating more memories for me. Thank you once again.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

It rough for sure - remember the skin on my finger falling off after doing the ridge a few years ago ! A wonderful place though :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@glenblaven]

Brilliant Murray - looking forward to the rest in the series. 👌

Thanks Stephen (and thanks for your contribution to this one :) 👌🙏

@ anytime and always a pleasure Murray.

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Thanks Murray for the great views of Scotland’s ancient mountains you brought to us, which seems to get better with age.

[@Phil_f8andbethere]

I'm completely bowled over by the quality of your videos and photography Murray. The amount of work and extra steps you have to do to get the various shots to make it look like you have a cameraman with you is incredible.. I'm really looking forward to this series - better than the Christmas Telly by far.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Chris - very kind of you to say this -:) very much appreciated hope you enjoy the rest of the videos in the series :) Thanks for watching and have a great Christmas ATB Murray

[@DAoutdoors]

Good evening Murray. Let the adventures begin. The photo of the rainbow over Marsco has to be my favourite shot. I’ve never seen a vertical rainbow before, very unique. All the best mate 😀⛰🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Dave - got lucky with the Rainbow appearing at the same time as air arrived at that composition:) it’s a wonderful mountain - can’t wait to go back :)

[@ervinslens]

Loved all the photos; but my fave is the one in which the mountain is reflected in the water. Looked like a great start to the trip - hope it continued this way for you all.

Great Video Murray, I'm looking forward to watching the rest of this series! That rainbow picture is definitely the best, it sums of Scotland so well. In such a moody sky, the beauty just shines through. As for the location, that was just perfect. Well done once again. Thanks for sharing.

[@rossmacrae8406]

Brilliant, many thanks Murray. I grew up across the water in Raasay with a bedroom view of Glamaig but we could see Bla Bheinn from elsewhere on the Isle. Took me another 30 years before I climbed it but it's a pretty decent view back North across the water from the 'blue mountain' to Raasay!

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Ah that satisfied the urge to get out somewhere a little bit! Thanks for taking us along again.No Scotch egg this time? I'm totally impressed you can do all this without leaving bits of drone or camera kit behind! It's as well I usually hike with a club so there's usually somebody who'll come from behind and say "Is this your iPhone/video camera...etc?). Either of the two rainbow shots framed by the rock will do me. Excellent as always. Have a super Christmas.

I mapped 35 kms" near that area, south of Broadford, happy student days. I hade that view every day...with different weather and different light....it's a beautiful area.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

what a fantastic place to have your uni project (I was cramped up in a laboratory in the zoology building at Aberdeen for mine - think I woulve rather have been on Skye for sure!!)

[@1330Sutchy]

Murray, as a geologist, you were spot on regarding the differences between the Red Cuillin and the Black Cuillin. Awesome video as per, keep up the good work!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thank you - glad I was close to correct - there was so much information to try and remember and I sometimes don't get the right info across - glad it was close to correct on this occasion :) hope you enjoy the rest of the videos in the series :) Thanks for watching and have a great Christmas ATB Murray

[@1330Sutchy]

@ScotlandsMountains Any effort must be congratulated! Geology and its terminology/jargon is another language to the uninitiated! If you ever find yourself searching for more information in the future, google the free to use Geoindex provided by the British Geological Survey. Use the key to set your desired criteria and have a play about! I found and subcribed to your channel 8 years ago in hospital after breaking both legs in a motorbike crash at the young age of 22. Whilst spending close to a year learning to walk again, your videos kept the walking passion alive! And whilst I cannot walk completely pain-free, I can now power through most of the pain and have summited many a Marilyn and Munro since! In no small part thanks to your absolute quality work on this channel, so again, I thank you! Apologies for the lengthy an overly emotional reply!😂

There were some breathtaking views there Murray. That rainbow photo was my favourite, even though everyone loves a great aurora shot (and that was a great aurora shot).

Its great to see Blaven as my English guidebook calls it, we once set off to do it but got distracted and went down to the Bothy. Fantastic day out amongst 6 others it was a great week.

Me and my wife went up Blaven a while back and new to the mountain, thought we would follow the group in front and went up a very steep and exposed chute. Thinking it was the only way up and down my wife was very quiet on the way down,believing the chute was our only way. She was actually terrified at the prospect Thankfully just before we reached the chute we noticed the big boulder further down the corrie we seen at the start and realised we could cut down easily to that instead Her mood rapidly improved after that lol Stunning mountain

Been to Scotland (hence why David and I will be returning lol!) and one of our wishes is to go to Isle of Skye. Those views! Was great to see your wife and son with you, although what in the world is happening at the end of the vid? Way to go Murray in creating suspense! It was really hard to decide but my favorite would have to be the rainbow one. Stunning. At least, this time. If I were in a different frame (ha!) of mind, it might have been the NL one. Thanks so much for this series, this is off to a great start! 👋

Nice photographs Murray. The one you put up in the final section, on Marsco, is great but I like the one you show around 7 min 45 even more. The reason is that it's more isolated, and to me it's even more powerful. Not to say that your choice isn't a very nice one either. I like this concept that you have chosen to do for this trip!

Lovely mountain Blaven - Sheriff Nicolson reckoned it to be Skye's finest. The view from the summit is the best I've experienced from a mountain anywhere. But then I had a clear day - I recall the frustration of sitting for hours on the misty summit of nearby Sgurr na Stri hoping for the cloud to lift and reveal the view. It never did.

[@garrypaton2763]

@@ScotlandsMountains The description was absolutely fine. As I said previously, I am always impressed with people who spend a lot of time in the outdoors...especially the north of Scotland....and start asking, 'why..how'....they are getting their eye into the landscape and picking out features. Geology is fun, to be simply biased (haha). You can take apart the landscape and once you understand the processes involved and the vast amount of time required, it is mind boggling. I still stand in amazement as I stand on Lewisian Gneiss at 2.8 billion years old, with a 900 million years Torridonian sandstone on top. No wonder a we dram is necessary at times...

Insane views Murray especially that rainbow and light across the Red Cullin. Absolutely incredible Is the summit a scramble or just a normal walk/ hike? Best wishes, Adam

Hi Murray Love the videos as always. Just wanted to get your thoughts on those orange trousers you’re wearing? Are they Revolution Race? Was considering getting stuff from the brand but most of the reviews are from sponsored individuals and would love to get an opinion that doesn’t have an affiliate link. Thanks Tom

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hi Tom - yes the orange ones are revolution race. I really like them but would not wear them if rain was forecast as these are slightly heavier material and although great in most condition , might take longer to dry ....
