I've Neglected this for Too Long

[@ivorcomment1526]

Great video as ever - please keep the stills in the videos - maybe at the end as you did this time. One day I hope you will sell some images!

[@brycehermon5939]

Keep up the great work Murray. You have a natural talent which brings a lot of pleasure to a lot of people.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

[@DAoutdoors]

Good evening Murray. Some stunning photos there. I love the ones right at the end of the waterfalls, absolutely fantastic. What a very ‘atmospheric’ day you had there. Didn’t start of with much promise but certainly came good in the end. There were some fantastic crags in the Coire. All the best mate 😀⛰🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Dave - absolutely agree - there was something about the rock perched at the side of the waterfall and lone treee that caught my eye (and the iPhone was fine to capture it :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@kristin8932]

Came back here bc I thought I needed to edit a typo and it was bugging me, and couldn't find my comment? I swear me and technology are mortal enemies lol. Anyway, not only do I love your vids, but it would also be my vote that you include more stills. You truly have a great eye, and I can't tell you how much I loved the stunning, moody shots you got. I like to take pics on my Iphone of nature and landscapes, and love looking at photography of the same, so this was a big treat! Thanks so much Murray, fantastic vid as well as great choices in music, added to my playlist 👍

[@jupitersmoon7]

You've taken some stunning shots in the years you've been making these videos Murray, many professional photographers would be proud.

[@carolehouston3959]

You should be proud of your photography as it shows you “have an eye” for photo subjects and they are a pleasure to look at. You are helping a lot of would be walkers see what we are missing. I am no longer fit enough to “ take to the hills” but can be there because of your fab videos and photos. Keep them coming.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you - very much appreciated 🙏

[@juliebarker-4245]

Photography is a wonderful pastime and to look back on what you've captured never gets boring in my opinion. I love looking back on all the photos that my husband and myself have taken over the years around the world. ATB Murray and look forward to your next adventure. Stay safe up there.

[@mikeoglen6848]

I agree. They are a great aide-memoir...

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Julie - I absolutely agree - I’ve been neglecting this (especially when I filmed this one - over a year ago !) . I also really enjoy the editing of the photos too - great memories :) Thanks for watching M

[@alasdairmacdonald6730]

I like seeing your photos, it adds to the videos. This is, as ever, a great film. Thanks for creating and sharing.

[@MrJimDG]

i had noticed the lack of photis, and missed them. glad thry're back, and it stays that way

[@GordonMacRae-d7d]

I’ve said it before Mr Wilkie, but thank you for your perpetually delightful videos. You have a wonderful presentation style that is so understated and modest which completely underplays your communication and photographic / cinematic skills. You really do capture the essence and joy of hill walking in Scotland (regardless of weather).

[@glenblaven]

Understatement of the year, “I’m not a photographer” - brilliant pics Murray, in this and many of your videos. Great addition to the footage. S

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks S - this was actually one I did in 2023 - no idea why I didn’t get it out before now lol :) got some great piccies from last trip up Bla Bheinn - video series coming up over Xmas 🤶

[@Distinctly.Average]

To be honest, it was the photography element of your climbs that attracted me to your channel all those years years ago. It is something that I have missed and am really glad to see you doing more.

[@mikeoglen6848]

Very nice, Murray, albeit a bit of a Dreich day...

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Driech was a good word for this no outing for sure :) Thanks for watching M

[@egallagher41]

Miraculous, thank you

[@Kev_Russ]

Conditions turned oot awright Murray. Some cracking pics 👌 I always thought u were a proper photographer back in the day on Walk Highlands. 😉 You always put up guid pics. Never finished your last vid. Started watching oan the big telly & soon as you jumped oot the van with Lexi, Boom! Ma dogs went daft. 🙈 😂 It was funny at first, but now it's getting nippy. Every animal on TV, even cartoons. 🙈

[@Jonathanart-jm9fx]

For someone who doesn't class himself as a photographer, you take a damn good photo!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

🙏

[@MrRooster1968]

enjoyed the. pictures excellent job more please

[@deborahtravis5688]

There’s something about the still Image well taken that catches an atmosphere. Loved them. I like the diverse nature of your work. As always your videos are a highlight of the week.

[@zinzanontour.1006]

cracking photos.

[@glenmurray8447]

Photos get a thumbs up 👍🏻 from me. And there were some beauties there😎

[@VieweReviewer]

More photos please! Great addition to the videos.

[@murchiesmountains2820]

Brilliant Murray 😍👍..I love it up there..Bivvied up there with Stripey before..Just something amazing about that side of Glen Coe😍..Top video .. Cheers Murchie

[@mk1aquatic739]

Excellent stuff, much better than anything on the tv again. The photos definitely compliment the video.

[@andrewjeffrey485]

I love the Stills. Keep them coming.

[@Neohurricane]

The photos are great, thank you for sharing them.

[@solarenergy5157]

definitely want to see more pictures. it's a great addition to the video and give you another way to appropriate the natural beauty in Scottish Mountains.

[@RichardReeve_K1W1]

I’m a still photography person and a black and white tragic so keep loading the black and white film into the A7III and keep displaying the atmospheric photos you take. 😊

[@hugoed3740]

Beautiful photography Murray, it captures the atmosphere of the Glen Coe. I think they add extra flavour to your video; still photography can encapsulates the physical aspects that create the mood of the landscape at that unique moment in time. Your skills and dedication to produce the end product are clearly appreciated by your subscribers. Cheers 🥃

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you - 🙏 very much appreciated

[@sapphieburry5216]

Beautiful photography 🤩

[@ScotlandsMountains]

🙏

[@kisilvan]

Really liked the a7iii photos. Interesting to see the comparisons as a very amateur photographer. Hope the scotch egg wasn't too lonely while you were gone. Sacrilege indeed! 😢😂

[@ScotlandsMountains]

The scotch egg didn’t survive very long after I got back to the van 🚐!! 😂😂

[@kisilvan]

@ScotlandsMountains 😯🤣

[@happycycleboy6807]

Murry, great video. The stills are fab. Both black and white and colour. Black and white are very moody. Always enjoy what you put into your videos. Your enthusiasm and joy in being "out there" keep doing, what you do so well.

[@iainmaciver4430]

Aye Murray the photos are just the business 👍👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

🙏

[@markreed2937]

Really enjoying your videos, keep up the great work

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you - very much appreciated

[@TalesFromAbroad-SJ]

This is a truly beautiful video! The Isle of Skye and Glen Coe offer such breathtaking scenery, and your shots of the Red Cuillin are absolutely stunning. It's clear how much thought you’ve put into capturing the essence of this location. The way you share your reflections adds a personal touch that makes the video even more engaging. Fantastic work, and what a stunning place to explore! 🌄👏

[@suebrown3465]

There’s an eerie atmosphere as you peacefully climb the mountain The b/w photos show more of the details of the terrain as you’re not distracted by colour Well done video..as always..take care 🇨🇦❤️

[@MsGilmo]

yes, keep the stills in the video! Looks like a great waterfall to photograph!

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Some fantastic shots there Murray, even on a dismal day. You have a real talent for photography, some of the shots you have taken in past videos have been incredible, worthy of any professional 👌⛰️

[@clansman66]

Love you are touching on the photography side of your channel, much as I love the mountains I also love photography and really enjoy seeing your images, you are long overdue meeting up with Tom Heaton again.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks - I have a series of around ten videos coming up over Xmas where one of the challenges I set is to take one photo a day - hope the videos and photos are ok - :) must give Tom a call soon - been enjoying his recent adventures in Torridon and the Nw 👌👌

[@lyndseywilson9462]

Great video, atmospheric and classic Scottish hill weather. Thanks Murray

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Typical Scottish grey day in the mountain ⛰️ 😭

[@wendyshort5972]

Another great video Murray. The scenes were spectacular. It did look a bit damp. The shots were good and the black and white shots looked good too. Well done.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Wendy - much appreciated

[@drumick67]

Still here enjoying watching your adventures

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Your adventures will bring you great memories to recall Murray when you get into your retirement years! While relaxing in a quiet place enjoying a drink of choice!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Absolutely - I am sure one day in the not too distant future I will look back and wonder what I was doing !! 😂👍

[@marcomclean3605]

I can tell Glencoe is definitely one of your favourites Murray, quite rightly so it's an amazing place. I haven't done a munro recently but managed a couple of Corbett's, Ben Vrackie and The Merrick further south which were great hills. Thanks again for this one mate.

[@harrykey2448]

Your stills are great but I watch for your video footage and descriptions and comments. I appreciate your occasional warnings to the less experienced. Todays phones give really first class results without adding extra weight which is a major factor. Anyway...stay safe.

[@78Alcione]

Awesome video, stunning photos. Thank you for sharing.

[@craigwilson1604]

Nice to see the photos that's what I do as I bet a lot of your viewers do, walk and take photos and I took my favourite photo in Glencoe on a iPhone 11 pro half way up the devils staircase looking back at the little white cottage 👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

The iPhones are great and getting better and better - one day we won’t need cameras for sure ! Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@charlesj60]

I did this with my dad almost 50 years ago. Hoping to get back there again before my legs finally give out - but if not, your videos are the next best thing!

[@ross077]

It's definitely worth taking photos on both the camera and the phone whilst in the mountains in my experience. You never know which one is going to work out better. Thanks for sharing your pics, Murray - I think they add to the video 👍

[@norskattforfun8575]

Great photos and never boring to add them

[@grantdempster1983]

Murray, Your still shots work well for me, especially the black and white, very atmospheric :-) But your video is very good too! All in all, great work

[@ScotlandsMountains]

🙏

[@SimonFloryPhotography]

Love the pictures you show as you go along on the trip, as well as the B&W ones at the end. It's an amazing location - many many people will have stopped in the car park and looked up towards the summit and wondered what it is like up there. It's great that you can take us all up there with you and give us a real flavour of the place; and the seriousness of the ascent. Thankyou!

[@valeriar6671]

I enjoy taking (lots of) photos on my hill walks, it's part of the fun. If you enjoy it too, and have the time for it, keep doing it. I think that your photos are stunning and they are the icing in the cake to your videos 👌

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you - I do enjoy a bit of photography for sure :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@milco8755]

Murray, it doesn’t matter what we (the viewers/subscribers) think. The main thing is that you enjoy the time you spent capturing or not capturing / editing them. Do it for you, I think most of us are happy to come along for the ride… Having said that, if the premise of the video is to go and shoot some landscapes then by all means show them. Some of the shots that you, Ray and Stripey have captured are amazing and do add to the videos. I think you and Ray (if I remember correctly) have shared some amazing images over the years from Beinn a’ Chrulaiste as an example. They definitely make me want to start carrying the bigger camera again back up into the hills purely for the purpose of capturing something fleetingly beautiful. Hope this makes sense. Long story short, you do you.

[@leehigham231]

Lovely photos...

[@philpoole5670]

The quality of your videos and photos are always first class 👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

[@patriciarichards87]

Great video and explanation of everything. Beautiful views of one of the best spots anywhere. Wonderful x

[@stevenanderson5404]

More pics definitely 👌

[@marilynchivers4730]

Another excellent video Murray & your pictures are lovely to look at & certainly add to the "adventure " 🎉 You are so natural in front of the camera & make it "real"! Please keep these vidios coming 🥳. Thanks for sharing 👌

[@nozo61]

Yes, I always love the photos, I can pause and really drink in the atmosphere. I think you’re a great photographer 👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

[@peterdouglas3170]

Great photos Murray but hard to distinguish between all three loved them all 🏔

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Agreed - unless on the big tele 📺:)

[@lesdodds6491]

Superb as ever, keep the stills coming if you get time, thank you

[@tonystrange7224]

Cracking video as always Murray. And feel your pain re the Scots eggs in the van. At least a good treat for when you got back.

[@ellenlepore3083]

Beautiful atmospheric views and photos🏔️! I do appreciate the gorgeous pictures from your cameras as well! Absolutely stunning mountain location!

[@annemay8379]

Watching for a second time as I enjoyed this so much! Thanks Murray for some superb photography in my favourite place. It cheered me no end after a rather boring day of chores! Loved the black and white photos and the shots of the waterfall. Also noticed some interesting colours in the lichens on the rocks during your ascent. Thanks again for cheering my day. 👏⛰️❤️😄

[@davidkay1612]

Like pics especially the monochrome something special about shades of grey in photos

[@Fatgerman]

I'm a fellow Coire nam Beith fan, it's my favourite spot in Glen Coe. Recognised it immediately from the thumbnail:) I love the photographs, they capture the atmosphere in a way video can't I think. The two mediums complement each other nicely.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

It is a cracking part of Glen Coe - slightly less visited too which makes it nice a quiet in comparison to some spots further up the Glen :)

[@bivouacphotography4768]

More photos ❤

[@harrylinsdell8114]

It would be great to see your photos shown at an exhibition, definitely would pay to go and see them .total class

[@garrypaton2763]

Agree. Or publish a book.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Maybe one day Harry - need more hours in the day 😂😂

[@garrypaton2763]

@@ScotlandsMountains Take another Scotch egg and get on with it LOL

[@rayharris245]

Hi Murray you will be able to look at your photographs for many years to come, when you see the waterfalls from the road in Glencoe you don t realise how big they are up close stay safe..

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Couldn’t agree more Ray :)

[@timrosenburgh8597]

I enjoyed the video as usual Murray. I think seeing the photograph's adds to the video. Nice one. Come on Murray when does the weather forecast get it right lol. Catch you on the next one mate.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Tim - u might be right about the forecast !! 😂😂

[@masoninthemountains]

Man, this video so resonates with me. I've been a long-time photographer but now that I'm spending more time with video on my small, but growing KZbin channel, photos have taken a back seat due to the extra time it takes on top of my video shooting. I'm a stills guy by heart, but I'm enjoying the video side as well. Thanks for this video Murray!

[@heathercampbell6906]

great video absolutely amazing pictures love them can’t wait 2 see what you got nxt week love them 👍👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

🙏

[@BrianWelshPhotography]

nice 1 Murray ..was up camping 2 nights ago just to the right of the bealach .. its the best route up in my opinion away from the crowds ..cheers for another wed night entertainment

[@beverlymcfarlane8681]

The photos definitely add something. You have such a great eye for a view. As I write this, it is no longer autumn. We are up to our oxters in snaw! Keep safe.

[@hysicdp]

great video mate

[@simonrangeley]

Not the first time I've heard you say you are not really a photographer. Strange because I've seen some of the best photos ever of Scottish mountains on here. Amazed you don't sell prints. Or even calanders and books. Do the whole Colin Baxter thing. Your photos are definitely good enough.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Simon - very kind of you to say so :) maybe one day I’ll get round to a calendar or a book - just bit enough hours in the day presently 😂

[@jamesbarber5299]

Great as always Murray!! Personally I enjoyed seeing the photos. I feel they tend to capture the moment more than a video in some ways, if that makes sense? Looked like a great route too. Will have to add that one to my ever increasing list! Cheers

[@alisonlyons4691]

I really enjoyed this Murray, l don't know how l havnt bumped into you in the glen, im there such a lot. Hiking and taking photos. Honestly you are being very modest,, your photos are stunning, and you capture some wonderful moments......l just bought a Keela Pinnacle Jacket, so far it's doing a great job. Thank you as always for a grand hike.....Alioban ❤

[@VinK-gf1un]

I enjoyed the video (as always). I think the still photos do add to the overall impact - it's a bit like pausing on a walk to take in the view properly.

[@onemanhisdawg2324]

Wonderful photos, you could frame some of them ⛰️🏔️👌

[@iainmatheson9498]

100% for including Photography. Got a personal passion for it but absolutely enhances the videos, Even perhaps include camera settings as a sidetone on some of them so we can learn and take inspiration. Huge fan. Looking forward to your next adventure

[@ScotlandsMountains]

🙏

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

I think the photos today were all wonderful. I imagine I’m not seeing a ton of difference, is because I’m watching this on my own iPhone 11! I guess I’ll have to rewatch this on the big TV and get a better look! I’m assuming you convert some of those shots to B&W in your computer. Love that. Cheers, and ATB!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hi Erin - absolutely correct - I convert them to black and white in Lightroom when editing them :) the iPhone 11 maybe old but still does a great job :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@Randolf_Randolf]

I like them.. :)

[@cam8212]

Carrying the heavier gear can be a pain and of course the stunning pic u take on ur phone, u always think, dammit , wish I'd brought the big camera! Nowadays with the editing software everything can be " corrected" . Great video as always

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Absolutely agree - the editing software is so good now it can really improve images where I may have not got right setting or similar stuff - however some photos just cannot be saved 😂😂

[@cam8212]

The amount of effort you put into the videoing, drone footage, and stills is incredible, and we're all very lucky to see the results. The overnight camps ( which I've still to try) are my favourites, and trust me, your photography skills are pretty damn good, Murray.

[@GoSummitSolo]

Aye u think they add to videos. Depends on the type. Of video though u know. Think sometimes maybe too many people who arnt interested may skip. But baout having some and not too many maybe? There or still doesn't do any harm. Thanks again. 👍 I wonna go up that one again some day.🎉

[@RonBryson-i2k]

Another good climb Murray. Great photos. When I started out I used my Pentax ME that had wynd on film and travelled with a Nokia 3110 phone!!! Aye those were the days. Got 100,s of photo prints. But the technology now is superb. I only use my iPhone for photos now even although I have a Pentax digital SLR. Anyhow as always enjoyed your footage always so professional.

[@johnbrown1135]

Photos well good adds to the videos.. Also historical record maybe small date time place where taken.. In links.. Unless hiding from the wife/work 😉etc😂.. Great stuff

[@philjones3335]

You always take quality photos, any one of your atmospheric mountain black and white photos would look good on my wall👍. Anyway, which model of revolution race trousers are you wearing, there are so many i struggle to make the right choice

[@the_middle_corner]

I really enjoy taking pictures when I'm on the hill or trail. There's absolutely no doubt, though. For me, filming is a hindrance to photography. It's such a shame that there are not 26 hours in a day to squeeze everything in. 😂 Another corker Murray. 👌

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Absolutely - I think that’s why it slowly stopped from the videos - doing both filming and photography is more time consuming - i really enjoy both though :) got a series of ten videos coming up over Xmas where one of my challenges was to get at least one photograph each day ! Let’s se how that turned out 🤔😂👍

[@bobmcleod8789]

Have to be honest the iPhone images have my vote!

[@markoutinthewild9481]

Good to see you taking pictures again, you've definitely got an eye for photography! i'd say the ZV-1 taken the best picture, the i phone was nothing in comparison to it, infact i think we just get so use to using our phone we think they take a quality picture but when you see the pictures side by side you can see the phone camera is pretty shit but as you said " ideal for facebook" ATB Mark.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Yeah - agree I reckon on social media the old phone pics are fine but if low light or printing out then the bigger cameras win hands down :)

[@heighRick]

I can't say I miss the photos, but when you add them they're always pretty nice. I may be wrong, but I can't see how a camera sensor can properly compare with a 1.0-type or full frame CMOS sensor, it's just a different kettle of fish, but that might be me. I don't think you've been lazy Murray, lazy might be if you didn't put in any or all of your editing work to share quality videos with us. Another wonderful walk with you this week, thanks, helps a lot!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Rick - absolutely agree - especially in low light - or if printed out - one really notices the differences then :) Thanks for watching

[@el5isontour337]

Your videos didn’t need over thinking Murray they’ve been superb quality . A wee hint of the Tom weir would put the icing on the cake for our over sea viewer & Our horrible neighbours , what I mean is a little history of the areas you go to but that’s research and time , just a thought you might like the change of added format or maybe I just miss Tom what a cracking man he was ..p,s The physical evert alone to capture the shots is not going unnoticed all be it we don’t see the amount of miles you do back and forth the cameras 📸 ..

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Agree - I do sometimes like to add wee snippets of history or Folklore in there - just finding time to research most of it tho 😂😂👍

[@runningman4459]

Absolutely stunning Murray. What a wonderful place. Can I ask what Revolution Race trousers you had on in this video and are they waterproof?

[@Martin-lp4yg]

That's why I ended up giving up the DSLR...too much of a slitter to stop n take out...mobile fone so much quicker and they are pretty good now and with the mobile you can catch wildlife better as you can just take it out yer pocket which is a lot quicker!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Absolutely agree and the technology in the phones is getting better and better- one day cameras will be no better than the phones probably:) Thanks for watching

[@andrewbriggs1962]

I'm another in favour of including photos please Murray.

[@themunros1]

Bottom line i think is, if you enjoy taking/editing photos then do it. For me, i find it breaks the rhythm of the video & doesn't add much to what the video shows me. Thats just me tho, a point & shoot merchant 😂 Another great vlog tho 👍
