Getting to The Outer Hebrides of Scotland with CalMac. Featuring a Drive Thru Skye & Some BAD NEWS!

The beauty of Scotland in one video. Join me as we head from a very famous castle, through the Isle of Skye, and onto a ferry bound for the Western Isles. Throw in some decent weather and it'll be a trip to remember. But things don't quite go to plan...

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is both my business model and a result of doing everything myself. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips! But more than anything else, it's about budgets. I generally need to film a number of videos on each trip to break even. And each one of these take a while to fall into place on a Saturday morning.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotel prices especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZbin Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

All Scottish, Welsh and English should give thanks that they all live on such beautiful island (and surrounding islands). Yes it rains there a lot but the island of Great Britain is simply stunning.

[@LureFishingRocksIreland]

You know, every Saturday I rush home from work, grab a bite then settle into the living room with my fiancée. Do we put on Britains got talent? Do we watch a movie? No, we’re straight on to youtube to see the latest Steve video. You are without doubt one of the most inspiring people to grace our TV screens. I hope this continues for many more years. Thanks for the videos Steve, we all owe you a lot.

Thanks so much for this!!!!

[@LauraMcLaughlin.]

I’d love you to read this Steve. I’m Laura McLaughlin Near Belfast. Back in the 1990’s before my lovely late husband took Parkinson’s we went in our lovely XJ 8 Jaguar to Skye & the Hebredise When we arrived in Tarbet the sheep met us in the car park. The roads were winding & in places just the width of the car. We had a pic nic on a beach with sand that could have been put in an egg timer & Pavarotti was singing on the car radio. Pure magic. We also were on Scalpy. We went l Lewis & took the ferry back from Stornaway to Ullapool. Your video brought it all back to me - I’d love to go back - but it would be to sad without Victor - gone now 6 years. He was so lovely. Do all you can NOW Steve. One never knows what’s round the corner. ❤

[@Woug]

Wow, what a wonderful trip! Thank you so much for sharing. My condolences on the loss of your late husband; it really seems like you took the time to treasure each other and make beautiful memories together.

[@dhdove]

Oh Laura, I know how you feel, I lost my darling Libby eighteen months ago after 34 very happy years. We toured Scotland several times from the 2000’s on (the first time in our XJS) and seeing places we visited together like that road up through Skye is always bittersweet. But I have been back to our favourite place of Plockton and whilst tinged with great sadness it reminded me so much of happy memories that I’m glad that I did. Maybe you should too? Very Best Wishes, TonyS

[@griswald322]

Lovely memories Laura that you can cherish and can never be taken from you. May God bless you.

[@janisripple754]

Enjoyed your sharing .. my husband had a kidney transplant so traveling is scary even if covid is down.

[@CherylSteele-rt8dj]

I so agree. My lovely husband, Bill, died 4 years ago and, as a builder, worked in Lewis. He adored the area and always said we'd go there together. We didn't. It was lovely watching your travels out there. Thank you Steve. 🎉

[@TheJohnscot]

You have never made a duff video yet, Steve. Your videos are gold-plated in my opinion. So natural and down to earth. I have seen many vids of Scotland that sound so pompous; but not the Steve Marsh Productions! May you have the enthusiasm and the will to carry on making these absolute gems. Thank you.

[@gedofgont1006]

Steve, your videos are the next best thing to actually being there. I love how you always ensure a gentle pace, which allows us the sense of journeying with you, almost in real time. Your camera work and editing are top notch too and I even enjoy your cheesy sense of humour! Marvellous, Mr Marsh!❤

[@K1W1fly]

Who in their right mind would skip the Skye journey montage?... Awesome looking trip to a wild and remote place - my idea of a great holiday. Pity about the bad news, but it still looks like a great place to spend some time!

[@Vtarngpb]

Bad news? did I miss something?

[@TheUluxian]

Great minds... I thought the very same thing.

[@MartinCook-kg1vn]

Exactly what I wanted to write.

[@Carole2807]

The ferry to St Kilda might not sail because of the weather.

[@rjs_698]

Thanks for saving me the trouble of writing the comment about the Skye footage! I immediately suspected he might be going to St Kilda - it's on my list too but the crossing's always going to be weather-dependent.

[@TheMcmunro]

Hi Steve, I'm sorry but this is a sad comment. Whilst watching your video this morning along with my Golden Retriever, Ruby, ( I was telling her I was going to take her to Clachtoll beach), she suffered a stroke. By 1pm, the Vet had been and Ruby was gone. I do apologise for the sad nature of the comment but the past few hours have been some of the worst. You have inspired me to get back out and your videos continue to inspire. Today's trip would have been one she would have loved. Please give Ruby a shout out sometime, especially on a beach somewhere xxxx RIP Ruby 29/04/12-25/05.24.

so glad we are back to classic Steve. A video with a ferry is a happy day.

[@gillianhibberd5575]

Thanks for the memories. My husband of 55 years passed away last December and this video brings back great memories of a great week my husband and I and our Springer Spaniel had on Harris back in the early 90's. We took the ferry from Uig to Tarbet and stayed in a cottage right by the water's edge just south of Tarbet. Sunshine every day albeit it April. Looking forward to the next video.

[@ginawiggles918]

Thank goodness for lovely memories. They are so comforting as we grow older and lose loved ones.❤

Sending love & my thoughts. ❤

Only 55 - that’s incredibly sad. Memories are everything. Sending love to you. Xx

[@karasaunty9823]

'Prefer to skip the Skye montage?' he asks. Am assuming that was a joke and people would have laughed if they hadn't been stunned into speechlessness by the very montage we were being offered to skip. Gorgeous scenery! So was Harris! Cracking wee hotel you're in. I seriously wish I could drive so I could go to places like this. Alas, too old and too anxious to learn now. Will just have to live vicariously through you, Steve x

[@terrytaylor9206]

Sir, you take us all to places we wish we could go. Thank you for that. Through your genuine nature, we feel like we are there as well. Take care.

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

That’s exactly right. Nice guy and you feel you’re on that trip.

The beach, the sound of the sea birds, tearing at my heart. I loved the short holiday I had there.

[@elainefarrar]

Beautiful scenery Steve, thank you for sharing. Always makes us want to plan a trip to Scotland!

[@robkilo]

Lovely to see Sligachan. I had a mate who rented a cottage there for a winter, so that he could play his enormous hifi properly loud without bothering anyone. I visited several times from Edinburgh - taking the long distance bus (I don't remember if I had to change in Glasgow, but I don't think I did). Spent Hogmanay at the hotel ceilidh - now that was a proper party. I remember the first time stepping off the bus - it stopped some distance from the hotel, on the other side of the bridge - and into the sleet and inky blackness, wondering how on earth I was going to be able to find my way to the cottage. But then I heard the mighty hifi from up the hill which led me, slipping and sliding on ice and slush, like a beacon in the night to warmth and safety and very loud music and whisky. It was ace.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

My Skye husband used to quote a 'bus-driver, a bit the worse for wear, who announced 'The next slig is at Stoppachan'.

Driving across the bridge to Skye can never replace my memory of a ferry crossing at sunrise & humming 'The Skye Boat Song" back in the day. I love all of Scotland but the Highlands & Islands are really special. ❤

Steve much as I like your journeys around Europe you can't beat the Scottish Isles.I am so grateful for your vlogs you are becoming my favourite vlogger. I would love it you could try and tick off all the populated Scottish Isles as I don't think I will ever be able to afford it myself. Thanks for all your work 😊

[@kurtb8474]

Thank you for sharing Scotland with us. I've been wearing kilts and playing the bagpipes for 54 years, but I grew up in, and live in, California. Seeing Scotland with my own eyes may never happen, so I really do appreciate the time you take to show us this wonderful land.

[@stuartwalker8658]

I do recall spending some 5 days on Harris waiting for an improvement in the weather in an attempt to get over to St.Kilda some years ago. The original first sailing over from Harris was cancelled by engine failure, the second attempt with another company by bad sea conditions, but at the 3rd attempt we all eventually made it after almost 4 hours. St.Kilda is well worth the effort, Hirta the main island is supplemented by remarkable nearby sea stacks and marine life, especially interesting are some unique animal species and rare plants which are only found there and no where else. The old village, school and manse are all most interesting and full of history. Hope you eventually make it to your destination Steve and thanks for your most interesting and absorbing travel content.

[@steve-marsh]

That all sounds very familiar! 🤣

[@flashtrash7830]

St Kilda has regained some importance after the Ministry of Defence installed some new monitoring kit on St Kilda, the other year to detect Russian submarines sailing out to the Atlantic through what is known as the Iceland-Shetland Gap, so that NATO can map their fleet. In case anyone has missed it, We are definitely in Cold War 2.

[@rob2k27]

Who would ever skip that Montage? Beauty as always Steve.. As they say,, what could possibly go wrong?

[@griswald322]

Great video. Brought back so many memories for me.I cycled up here from Wigan Lancashire in July 1965. The ferry back then was MV Hebrides but was not RoRo. It had a lift to bring vehicles up to the level of the pier. Also no Skye bridge. Look forward to your next video and hope you make it to St Kilda. I have watched loads of your videos and find them very interesting and informative. Keep them coming.

[@MrFlyingscot75]

Wow, unbelievable weather ! Amazing scenery. Thanks Steve.

[@DJGG8205]

One of my late Uncles lived in Stornoway back in the 1970s and we travelled from England to visit him. Took the best part of a day to get there from the Midlands if I remember correctly. I was a small boy and my most vivid memory is of beaches that looked like they belonged in the Maldives or Caribbean instead, totally unspoilt by commercialism.

[@mrmullett1067]

Lovely way to start my Sunday down in New Zealand. The weather here looks like the weather up there .. a bit chilly and rain on the way. Looks like a really nice place. Thanks Steve.

[@barbaracarlisle8930]

One lifetime is not enough! We were visiting Skye on a beautiful sunny day ( like the day you were traversing the island) and we could see H&L in the distance. “Someday” we’ll go there we thought, but those days are dwindling down. Enjoying amazing vicarious travel through your channel from SF Bay Area. Thank you…!

The sun makes such a difference. Great music.

The Isle of Skye was my patch from 2006 through to 2016 when I was a clerk of works for the local authority and then the NHS. Seeing this makes me yearn for the Highlands once more.

When i see that lovely pictures, my heart opens. Thanks for sharing Steve. Greetings from the Netherlands, Ralf

[@olivemd]

I want to go back. Beautiful place.

[@TheUluxian]

Your ferry journey reminds me a lot of growing up in Bremerton, Washington and taking the ferry to Seattle. I used to commute daily, usually on foot, but occasionally I'd take my car if the weather was bad, or I had other things to do in Seattle, and more than once I've almost walked off that ferry and forgotten my car. ALMOST being the key word. Never did forget it entirely (thank goodness) The montage was lovely. It's funny how some areas can look so lonely and desolate, yet beautiful at the same time. Safe Travels, my friend...(Still need to get you that reserve Filson hat)

[@TheSackylacky]

I love your videos of your travels! I'm a gypsy at heart and love to travel. I vicariously enjoy every one of your many travels. My hubby has dementia and my traveling days are over for now. He can't do that anymore. Thanks for sharing your life and adventures with all of us!

Hi Steve. Fond memories of taking that same ferry from Uig to Tarbet. Nothing like leaving port to the sound of ‘car alarms’. 🥴 We stayed in an annex of the Hotel Hebrides, a terrace of houses seen from your hotel room. They were equally well appointed. Highly recommended. Harris is our favourite of all the outer Hebrides, exceptionally beautiful. Excellent video as always. 👏👏👍😎

[@stephengraham8629]

Another great vid Steve, the Hebrides are on my bucket list, hopefully next year and I have a new travelling companion to go with me called Remi, a Goldendoodle aged 10 months which I got last week. Looking forward to our new adventures in the future. Thanks again

That's one part of Scotland I've never visited. Thanks for sharing it with us and for planning such great weather for the journey.

[@MIEJ4]

@PlanesTrainsEverything I got lucky and visited for 10 days, the week after the first lockdown ended. Started in Stornoway then all the way down to Vatersay. Weather was just like this video and there was hardly anyone there. Some parts were so beautiful I just had to sit there speechless and try to take it in. Best trip I’ve ever done, only just above my first Safari in Kenya 😎 Go for it.

Loved the scenes of skye in the sunshine, lovely as always. Ferry trip was good too. Be sad if you don't get the st. Kilda trip but there was lots to see and admire in this video.

That was wonderful to see. My friends and I did the same journey back in March. We sailed on a stormy evening so it was dark by the time we arrived but we had similar sunny weather to yourself on the return, including a beautiful sunset drive across Skye. First thing we did was find the outside space too. Even on the rainy outbound sailing, it was worth it. Oh, and those car alarms! Spent a good portion of the journey worrying about whether I'd left the handbrake on.

Brilliant video as always Steve, many thanks 😊. Brings back memories of a trip to the Outer Hebrides to deliver a new piano from Carlisle to Lewis for some newlyweds (a wedding present from their parents who lived in Cumbria). Put it into the house on my own with the use of a piano trolley, in front of several open mouthed builders who asked about 20 times if I needed any help 😂 Took a couple of days after finishing the delivery to explore. The weather was just as in your video - truly beautiful 👌

[@walterfillingham]

Lewis and Harris were much more spectacular than I expected, really enjoyed my short weekend there. Not everything closed on Sunday (the Sabbath), there is a petrol station and shop open in Stornoway near the Coop supermarket which was very, very busy. The pubs seemed to be open and a chippy was open - in a wooden lodge at a lama Croft next to Calanish Stone Circle, and the best fish and chips I have ever eaten, cooked fresh by the two lady owners..

I’ll be spending the week in Harris in a few weeks! Can’t wait. Will be ferrying from Ullapool to Stornaway on the way out and Tarbert to Uig on the way home 😊
