Into Scotland's Last Wilderness | 4 Days in The Rough Bounds

[@dadmadforgot4050]

One thing KZbin has taught me is that there are some incredible, talented, brilliant people on the planet.

[@christopherwhittaker2620]

Great comment and I totally agree.

[@GazTheExplorer]

Wow Murray! To have the motivation to do all of that while also filming at such a high standard deserves a lot of credit. Got to love how honest your films are and also the way you describe everything you have to overcome along the route. Those river crossings certainly looked relentless too. Well done on the editing of this film Murray. This would've took a lot of time to edit all the clips together whilst choosing the correct music for the scenery. What a great way to end the year mate! Don't think I've ever requested this to another camping channel but these 60-90 minute videos are great and it would be fantastic if you could produce more throughout this year. ATB Gaz.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Gaz - it was a trip I won’t forget any time soon :) - the edit took ages over the Xmas holidays but was fun reliving the adventure on the screen :) thank you for the kind comments - very much appreciated:) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@mozdickson]

I found that some loud Big Country and Simple Minds added value here and there as I watched!

[@philipwalker103]

I know. It's like he has a film crew. Great dedication to his art and an obvious love of producing this stuff.

[@bpslodge]

Bloody hell Murray! That was quite frankly one of the best hill walking vlogs I've ever watched The production is just stunning and the effort you put in to produce these films is amazing and very much appreciated. Once again thank you for taking us along on your trips and the appropriate use of the word "Bollocks"😂 Once again thank you for sharing Atb Brian

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Brian - high praise indeed - very much appreciated and glad you commented on my timing and use of the phrase ;) lol I was going to say something a little more severe but held back!!lol Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@markf4046]

Hi Murray - Greetings from Norway! This is the first video of yours that I have watched. It came up randomly on KZbin and I thought I'd give it a watch. I didn't think I would watch the whole thing without fast forwarding, but once I started watching I couldn't stop. You are not only a great hiker, but a great filmmaker as well. I loved your attention to detail when you set up the camera countless times to do the walk-by shots. I can't imagine how much extra time that added to your hike, but I appreciated the huge effort because it gives the viewer a different perspective rather than just carrying the camera while you hike. This won't be the last video of your I watch, as now I'm hooked. Thanks.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Mark - very much appreciated and welcome to the channel - hope you enjoy some of the videos here :) take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@senorlimpio2925]

Little wonder they call it bonnie Scotland . absolutely stunning , thank you for sharing

[@jorjastonej]

That was a stunning trek. Especially the light on the 2nd day and night. The inversion with the moonrise and sunset. Wow!

[@John71]

That is my evening viewing taken care of 😀thank you Murray

[@Atomic_Haggis]

"I'll just watch 20 minutes then head to bed and watch the rest tomorrow." 1 hour later - Eyes glued to the screen. Beautiful journeys and views and the production quality is phenomenal.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

haha - hope I didnt keep you up to late !1lol Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@Atomic_Haggis]

@@ScotlandsMountains I fell down the rabbit hole of your other videos. I think it was about 3am when I eventually got to bed!

[@rossmcfarlane6687]

Another stunner, Murray. Can't wait to get my socks and shoes off, and get grounded.

[@harrylinsdell8114]

Absolutely stunning, what pleasure to watch and so lucky you share these adventures with us. Gave up paying the TV licence a year ago and watching your vlogs and similar ones are way more entertaining. Cheers for the time and effort you put in

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Harry - hope you enjoyed it - it was a special trip with special weather :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@davidviner5783]

Magic moments in Knoydart. This is one of the best Knoydart videos on YT.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you David - much appreciated - hope you enjoyed the video :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures]

This is just incredible, the views, your determination and epic filming. Moving the camera to show your journey takes some doing- especially on your own!! Absolutely loved it all. Thank you so much for sharing and a huge well done, what an adventure ⛰👏🥾🎒🌲Michelle and Andy

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks folks - very much appreciated Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@bigjr9004]

This is the ultimate in Scottish hillwalking documentaries Murray. You had the experience to tackle this adventure, and yet it challenged you. You have brought us some of the most dramatic footage of such a beautiful area that we dreamers 'frequent'. Knoydart is the bees knees as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for your altruism for Scotland's scenery. And Scotland's Mountains.

[@HighlandMike325]

A big thumbs up to the great team of camera operators, editors, researchers and sound editors who produced this masterpiece (I jest of course - but just a reflection of just how good this production is)

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thanks Mike - this was a long one to edit !! lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@angrycamping]

If BBCScotland don't pick you up, they need the heid reid! Have watched this twice already and added to playlist. Tough trip but, still you put so much effort to produce an epic video. A solo trip with no camera crew, you put the pros to shame. More importantly, what a majestic fantasy world above the clouds. You could have been on another planet, all to yourself. Absolutely stunning!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

it was a magical experience this one with the conditions being as they were - I really hit the jackpot :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@tonystrange7224]

Wow Murray you made a movie. I've decided this is going to be my Saturday night TV with a glass of two of wine. So although I'm commenting, I'm waiting until the weekend to watch.

[@FitforAdventure]

Omg those conditions!!! I would literally die of excitement. Amazing video, thank you!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Sarah - I was very close to need CPR I was so happy to emerge above the clouds :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray P.S. Enjoying your Cape Wrath series very much - an epic effort!

[@suebrown436]

Such a privilege to share this mountain hike with you Murray from the comfort of my sofa! I was just immersed in it for an hour this morning, then finished watching this evening. I cannot imagine how it must feel to be so alone, above the clouds, with the full moon on one side and rising sun on the other side of you. Wow!!

[@gardupgti4609]

I wish I was as brave and confident as you. Genuinely inspiring. Thank you

[@theondebray]

In all the years of hiking / climbing in Scotland, I have NEVER seen weather as good as that, not since 1977!

[@marianfrances4959]

"What a place to be." Indeed! 👍😎🇨🇦📷🌕🌅

[@paulannable3734]

Can’t believe I’ve waited a year to watch this. Sunday night viewing perfection.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Paul - hope you enjoyed it - this was a special trip for sure 👍 a great area with some cracking weather conditions :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@williamkelly9062]

Epic don't know how you can top this absolutely terrific more please

[@ronbryson7223]

Great weather for December and very ambitious of you to tackle such expedition so late in the year. Spectacular filming. I admire your patience stoping and setting up the camera. Such a great watch, bringing back a load of memories from my days on the hills. Well done to you.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Ron - not sure I would have entertained this route had the weather forecast not been perfect with that blocking high pressure sitting nicely over the north west highlands - a great adventure was had and not sure I will experience those conditions again too soon :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@barbararadzeviciusbondi4150]

Loved watching this expedition into the Scottish mountains. Its 2 years later and I'm watching you in a heatwave 35°C here in Bondi NSW Australia Jan 2024. So exciting to see the summits and the night sky.

[@TheMrlister72]

Epic Murray ...... one o th most wild parts o Scotland ...... cheers fur takin us wi ye neebur ..... Beautiful 👊❤️

[@Newnameinheaven]

Great film, really enjoyed that, thanks. I always find with river crossings that if I wear my waterproof trousers over the top of my gaters it forms an air pocket inside the leg that doesn't allow the water to rise above gater level.......if your quick that is !!!

[@biggyjaay]

might be your best video yet. thankyou you proper adventure loved every minute

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thank you :)

[@davidmcglinchey6174]

Incredible amazing video you are an inspiration

[@happycycleboy6807]

Murry, just came across this one.....fabulous....did a couple of Munros with a long walk in from Inverie.....not camping as had some great accommodation there. Wonderful area of Scotland..... Thanks for the video and all that goes in putting them out there....fabulous as always.

[@hoveringdroppage7155]

All superlatives fail, what a perfect film. Started watching on my phone but had to start again on the big TV screen, I would gladly pay to see it in a cinema. Just fantastic. Well done absolutely beautiful.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

always better on the big tele ;) Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@highpark527]

Amazing this is one of the best and most atmospheric virtual experiences of a wilderness summit I have ever seen online - truly enthralling and inspiring - surely a prize winner in the camera scenes and shot selections really well done

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you - very much appreciated - hope you enjoyed the adventure :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

PROPER CRACKING MURRAY, I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS, THE STUFF YOU CHOMP ON MAKES ME LAUGH, SAYS ME WHO SITS IN MY LITTLE FLAT AND EATS CRAP, YOU ARE A STAR, THANKS SO MUCH. WE DO APPRECIATE ALL YOUR EFFORT.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

a proper healthy diet I have ;) wish I was more proactive on the food front!! a chocolate orange and scotch egg sometime doesn't cut the mustard ;)lol Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@OldOwl2003]

Ahhhhh Murray I’ve just been blown away with that ridge walk with the rainbow Buddha sitting atop noir dairich ( excuse my spelling I tried from memory) I was totally mesmerised, and the moon and the sun in the sky at the same level at the same time is worth all the talking about indeed ! I really know what your talking about when a good sleep avails you, an you don’t want to leave your maggot ( sleeping bag) what a place ! You camped at, I can only dream about these places now, this information just was not available 27 years ago, now I feel like I’ve missed so much it hurts ! Yet at the same time because of you I haven’t, I can’t thank you enough Murray, bless you 🙏 Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

[@mypixelchrome]

The eagle looked like a sea eagle-the white tail was the clue. Great video and a great walk!

[@klrecords]

Unbelievably stunning ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jonathanlaw8917]

Stunning . . .

[@OldOwl2003]

Of course I’m going to watch this one as well ! Your story telling is superb Murray, it’s so emotive, I nearly cried when you left Inverie, that feeling of not wanting to leave, are moments that memories are made of that never leave your mind, it’s like a small death that you grieve, especially if you think your not returning, that’s why I’m watching the first one in the wrong order, Ahhh Murray, your warnings are much appreciated at the beginning and surly set the stage for what I believe will be an arduous adventure, thank you deeply Murray for making this incredible content available to us, you have no idea what it means to us that can no longer do it, brings tears to the eyes Murray, bless you Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.

[@elizabethbrown8833]

Stunning scenery and colours.🙏🏻🌌🌎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥀

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thanks Phil Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@ralfhedin]

One and a half hour? It's as long as a movie for the cinema. Imagine the number of people who would be involved in such a movie, but you held all the functions yourself. And I couldn't stop watching. Respect!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

It was a long one Ralf - hope you made it to the end !:) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@gcsScotland]

They keep getting better - a great video of a great area in stunning conditions- hard to believe it was December. Brought back memories of my trip in to do those Corbetts - cheated a bit and paddled up Loch Cuaich in our Canadian Canoe and camped near dams. Happy days !!!

[@ralfhedin]

@@ScotlandsMountains I couldn't stop watching. Already hoping for more long videos from you. Do you have a Patreon community? Doesn't feel right to watch all your videos, with all the time and effort you put in, without contributing.

[@carolinewilson1314]

thank you so much.. the views from the two peaks, the colours the cloud inversion, such pleasure you gave us both.. I've recommended you to friends.

Thanks Caroline - this was one heck of a special trip - the inversions and the scenery on this one were rather special :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@johnmcsporran3090]

Your best yet. Simply superb. This and your vlog from Bidean (with the letter) are my favourites. Well done Murray.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks John - wasn't too sure if this was going to be too long , but what a great trip - not sure I could've missed too much out from it to reduce its length - those conditions are hard to beat :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

One word.... Very very impressive. However! Still need to see a tour of your VW .... Regards Chris

[@zcsccg1]

Very good presentation. Excellent. What's your main job?

Brilliant video through some of the less ‘fashionable’ summits. Great to see Beinn a Ghlo and even better to see The Saintees get s mention!

[@sapphieburry5216]

You are having all the luck with the inversions! The image of you making your way up to the summit with the brocken behind you is spectacular😍 what an adventure 👏

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks - getting above the cloud just literally before summiting Ben Aden was just wonderful, I think the look on my face said it all :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@ProfPete]

Murray - what a trip - the isolation, rough terrain / lack of paths, river crossings, short December days, & a couple of bad steps too - EPIC! thank goodness you had decent weather...

[@janetturner7489]

Murray this is just epic. The drive along the road with the deer and owl, 👍and the Eagle oh how fab. I will not repeat any other comments but I have to say that I think it's good you give H&S advice on the way though. Thanks for introducing me to this superb part of Scotland. I don't mind long vids. Thanks for the the trouble in making them, Murray, take care.

Gobsmacked! I know your films of the Scottish highlands deserve more poetic praise, but this was the first word I could think of when i saw (57:29) the clouds between the mountains being hit by the sunset sunlight. Amazing!

[@carolwilson9341]

What a spectacular place to hike. Being above the cloud the first night was amazing. Greetings from Northern Ontario Canada where at the end of March we still have lots of snow and cold. I am not a hiker, but kayak in summer. I am looking forward to watching many more of your excellent videos.

Got similar plans myself, been after Ben Aden for years now. 😁

I am going to follow a route in Dan Bailey s book great mountain days in Scotland which is a circular walk including the Munro’s near by which I have previously done but not Ben Aden my problem is that I look like Kim jong young and am his size so I need to lose weight lol

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@andrewkingdom yeah I've done the Munros too, but couple of my friends haven't, but it makes a nice high level traverse. I was camped right underneath Ben Aden on the CWT too. 😬

Well I know I said I was waiting for Saturday night to watch this, however after an hectic day at work, I though this would be perfect to unwind to. And you didn't disappoint Murray. Fantastic 1 hour 28 minutes, absolutely loved it. The river crossings, the long walk in and out, the inversion, the tricky ridge in the only bit of snow, the summit views. This had it all and I'm so glad you didn't cut the video down. The time flew by while watching it. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and put out this one Murray. Loved it. Anyway here's to the next adventure, and as always stay safe. ATB.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Tony - I was a bit worried it was going to be away to long but I didn't want to cut anything down so really appreciate your comment :) Hope you enjoyed it - more inversions on next weeks video lol Take care and thanks for watching Murray
