The Best View I have EVER seen!

[@martinoberstein8431]

Great atmospheric views - lots of weather. Glen Affric is a gem! Thank you ever so much for this one, Murray!

[@nigelbedrock5044]

Just stunning Murray. My wife and I love the scenery, the commentary and especially your enthusiasm. All your hard work and steaming boots are deeply appreciated by so many people you’ll never meet.

[@stihl3826]

My Dad’s favourite Glen and one he planted up with the Forestry back in the late fifties.

Thanks for the video. I love Glen Affric. I was there many times during the nineties. Stunning place to hike!

[@xavaubad7616]

Been subscribed to your channel for a good few months now and just wanted to say how much I love watching your videos. The content is amazing, right amount of talking and stunning photography as well. Honestly, thank you so much.

One thing I love about Scotland is, the landscape is as beautiful as any on earth, and yet it is all accesible.

Big Call Murray!! “ Best View I’ve ever Seen” !! Have to agree, You are right !! Fabulous drone footage & great snaps 👍🏼✅ Long walk, but definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍🏼😉

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Paul Drew it was a big call - seen lots of views but something about this view just got me - maybe not the most photogenic view but certainly one of the best views (if that makes sense !?) was well worth the hike :) ATB Murray

I have only recently discovered your channel and want to express my genuine appreciation for what you do. The filming and editing is superb and every clip you post is a visual feast. I also want to say that my father is old now and not able to walk up mountains, but he absolutely loves Scotland and the mountains and I have sent him loads of your videos because I know he will sit at home soaking up every second of them! Well done, keep them coming.

[@mike76rob]

I'll be up that way again in a few weeks for a weeks visit this time. I've hiked the Affric Kintail Way before, unfortunately I chose to do it in February 2017 I think it was, bad snow storms and serious winds, it is still the coldest hike and camp of my life..!

[@sunnyrockvictor373]

Stunning!

[@davids9549]

Very fine work Murray. Best view? Perhaps, I wasn't there, but I can think of more than a few of your (classic by now) videos which still beat up anything else I've ever seen. Munros/Corbetts, who cares? I went across Ben More (South Uist) one evening last week and it felt like the top of the world to me. You're dead right about the mountains' best aspect - about halfway up a neighbouring hill gives the grandest perspective.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

David S there are so many times I’ve stood looking at a view and been thunderstruck! But I honestly was blown away by this view - it was the view (maybe not photogenically speaking ) but it was awesome - some amazing sights across Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌👍

[@christophersmith2689]

Hi murray Wow what a beautiful day out just fantastic You are not wrong the views are stunning well worth getting up early for great stuff Thanks for that murray really enjoyed that gonna watch it again now Take care atvb chris

[@sandyrobb7395]

Another fantastic video , you should have your own series on stv ....

[@davidearl2038]

Another great video Murray, was surprised to see still quite a bit of snow up there after all the rain about lately. I was over on Eigg the other week and in between the showers that week, we got a glorious day and hiked up An Sgurr, only a few hundred meters hill but some fantastic views off the top. Anyhow, really enjoyed your ever inspiring adventures, keep `em coming and thanks for sharing them with us.

[@alanhock5760]

Lovely views, looks like a really nice walk. However you must try the lake district if you haven't already, as the views there are by far the best I have ever seen.

[@flex0201]

Breathtaking, it looked like you could effortlessly touch the clouds! My favorite views were around the 12:03-12:10 and 13:06-13:30 mark; I could sit for hours overlooking those hills. Well done. I "translated" your accent for my spouse, he loved watching as well.

[@HENRYHOBBS1]

Lovely day out on the hills Murray 👍🏻

[@mcnab1383]

Yes, Lyon is longer (and equally stunning on a summer's day), but Glen Affric is by far the most comprehensive and authentic glen for scenery in the Highlands - anmd even more so in May when there is snow on the hills and blue in the sky. Because it not only has the pine forests, but it has the scale, lochs and distant mountains which give the trees context. Kudos to the individuals in the Forestry Commission who slowly but quietly worked away over the last 60 years to protect the granny pines and manage the regeneration. Affric is worthy of true National Park status (in the American sense), but I am glad it was overlooked and was left to the local forestry guys to manage, without the distractions of mass tourism and visitor interpretation. Sometimes I think it wasn't overlooked, but it was intentionally left as just a 'Forest Reserve', either way it was the right decision.

[@ChristophersMum]

McNab Yes grannies need protecting.....trees or otherwise.....I do hope they continue to enlarge this forest.....future generations need to be able to see the wonder of these old Scots Pines....

[@lifesforliving88]

What a view!!! I wish I lived in Scotland everywhere I've been in Scotland the views are incredible... where I live is just flat... the closest thing I get to a hill is a wave in the sea Haha... another brilliant video Murray

What a view, unreal mate

[@MagicCarpetMedia]

Frickin epic mate. Spent a week there a few years ago out near the bothy and it was unreal

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

It is a difficult ? Glen Affric truly is a special Glen and one I always love to visit ( more of a low to mid height walker ) the scenery and wildlife never fail to impress me in this Glen. However there are a few other Glens I love too ! So it is up there with the other wonderful Glens I enjoy visiting . It must have been a long walk for you to be mentioning your leg pain ! The views looked great and all of that snow was wonderful to see on the tops. Thank you for sharing I really enjoyed seeing this Glen from a different viewpoint . Atb :D Teddy

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Teddy Wanderer I was knackered by the end of the walk for sure - but it was well worth it Teddy 👍 Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@WalkWithWallace]

Nice conclusion to your trilogy Muzza, it is a stunning Glen. So difficult to pinpoint the best one, but it's definitely up there. I remember those two Corbetts well, bloody tough pair and the walk out took ages! We sneaked on a Munro top too. 😆 Cheers Robin

[@princesswearshikingboots4479]

Hi Robin, I quite agree. We loved Glen Affric and enjoted the remote solitude of Carn Eighe and Mam Sodhail and scambling along the Pinnacles. True, the walk out is a long one - up there with Suilven (sans the phenomenal bog, lol!!!).

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@princesswearshikingboots4479 they're a fine pair of Munros. Everything there involves a long walk out though. Haha.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Walk With Wallace 👣 thank Robin - was a grand walk and got lucky with a wee bit of spring snow :)

[@FirstHomeAgain]

As an Englishman I'm so f-ing envious and covetous of the the Scots for having the best landscape in Britain (and perhaps the world). The nearest England gets to the wild barren beuaty of Scotland is the top end of the Peak District around Bleaklow, Kinderscout and Saddleworth Moor. The Lake District is nice, but too pretty and feminine a landscape (like the Cotswolds with lakes and small mountains added).

[@ScotlandsMountains]

[@leaturnbull6290]

I'm surprised that you said you're not a photographer, some of your shots are fantastic. The scenery obviously helps quite a bit as a good subject. Thank you for another lovely film. I'm really enjoying your back catalogue atm. I can't wait to get out when we're allowed again. I live in East Anglia despite my surname - you can't get much more opposite to your location for metres above sea level! Scotland is a bit too far for me to drive unfortunately but I'll be heading for Yorkshire for some camping on the quiet when I can. I'll make the drive to Scotland one day. Maybe when the kids are older. One of my dreams is to see a golden eagle. Have you ever seen one?

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Lea - let’s hope we can get back out soon :) Last golden eagle 🦅 I saw was on this trip kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3m1laOfbNaDiMU There’s a bit where I see it it in the video 👍👍 always amazing when you see the big raptors 👍 Take care Murray

[@Longy485]

You are too modest about your photography skills, your photos and videos are wonderful. Thanks for another great video. One point though - you need to get yourself a campervan rather than kipping in the back seat of the car! I would be knackered before I began!

[@timscanlanphotography]

Hi Murray. Fair do's - can't disagree with your opinion of the view. It's a stunner !! Looks a beauty of a walk, especially with the snow caps. Can I ask which car park you used please?
