Thank you 🙏🏼

Love the video. I am a descendant from Austin McNeel & the Isle of Barra. I am holding the 87th year for the McNeel Picnic in June. I am looking for pebbles from the beach as prizes. I collect rocks from all over the world. ❣️

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you, it is a magical place, and there is no shortage of pebbles ❤️

What a lovely delightful film, Barra looks such a lovely safe and happy place to live, reminds me of St Mary’s on the Isles of Scilly although far more populated and commercial they too leave produce at the roadside with honesty boxes for the money, it seems to me that these offshore uk islands are hidden gems without the trappings of the modern world in which most of us live, thank you

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you , it's just a fabulous place , there is so much more than my film can explain , you must go 😎🙏🏼

[@Muzzy68]

My mum was from Barra and my Dad from Lewis - wonderful summer holidays as children there

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

It is an amazing place

[@YARROWS9]

How lucky are we in the UK to have this beautiful place on our doorstep. Great presentation.

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

I know its an incredible place , and thank you , not bad for a builder 😎

[@patrickmaclean3438]

I’m from Barra hope u enjoyed it

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you Patrick, yes I always love it every time I go ( many times ), and I will be there again one day, I hope you liked my little film about your fabulous island

[@mrj8856]

Going May...can't wait!

[@hazellucks716]

Great video. Love the accent. Been there over 20 years ago. Heading to Harris later this year can't wait.

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you for your kind words 👍

[@f1mikeyboy]

My ancestors are from Barra, and left for Cape Breton Island, in Nova Scotia Canada, many years ago. The landscape is quite similar, and also the weather by the looks of it. I hope to visit this place some time soon. Thanks for your video.👍

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you , i will be there again soon

[@scott.macdonald]

Same here, though we left Cape Breton for Boston a few generations ago. 200 years and my family has never been back to Scotland. I plan to be the first one

[@jamieusaa]

Mine too! Prince Edward Island 1670ish

[@amandamacneil5742]

My husband and I are from Cape Breton. He’s a MacNeil whose ancestors came from Barra. We are very much looking forward to a trip there this summer.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful footage a superb whit, loved them both! Ta.

Thank you , have you seen my others 🙏🏼🤷‍♂️

[@robinmunro47]

Lovely video...I first came 50 years ago, staying at the Castlebay Hotel...So I asked "What time does your bar close", to which the barman replied with a smile "October maybe" 🤣👍

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you, it's a fab place, i once left the Castlebay at 6.00am 😳😎

[@johnnyseagull29]

I like your attitude. I like your style. I like you. Im sailing there later this year, weather permitting. Thank you

Loved your tour of Barra I’m hoping to visit in June can’t wait! Fingers crossed the weather is as good. 👍🏻

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you Alex its an incredible place 🙏🏼😎

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Watch my other vids on escape from camp covid where i visited the hebrides last year, gives you a good view of the other islands too including Barra again 😎

[@alexboyes2563]

Thanks Ross will do. my plan is to buy a hopscotch ferry ticket which will include Oban to Barra, South Uist, Lewis finishing in Ullapool. Currently I’m looking for campsites and places to visit so will definitely be watching your videos for ideas. 😊

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

You will have to camp on Barra as they are getting a bit twitchy about wild camping there the best one is the one i mention in my vid but there are a couple of nice ones near the Isle of Barra Hotel. Once you get onto South Uist and upwards i always wild it, if you watch the 2 vids on escape from camp covid you will see 😎

[@davidkay3443]

Great vlog. I remember year after year as a child going to Barra. Couple of times flying from Glasgow. But mainly sailing from Oban. Doesn't look like it's changed that much. Must be 25 years since I last went. Once all the Corona stuff is out of the way will definitely go back. It's heaven .

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

David Kay thank you very much 🙏🏼

[@delmiller4184]

Loved your video Ross. Thanks for showing us around.

[@susanbatty5731]

Thank you so much Ross for sharing your adventure in absolutely stunning Barra. Fingers crossed me & hubby will be there later this year to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

So do I, I go every year , if you are off in a motor home then make sure you goto Scurival campsite and thank you for your kind words

[@miyah3961]

I live in barra

[@scott.macdonald]

@@miyah3961 Hi, I am very interested in Barra and the other islands of the Outer Hebrides. Do you know if there has been any progress toward the community taking ownership of the Barra Estate from the Scottish government? I know that the MacNeil chief made that a possibility when he gave up ownership. And South Uist did a similar buyout about 15 years ago.

[@edwardneilloftheclanmacnei7057]

Awesome video, not many people know about that the island's in the outer Hebrides like the Isle of Barra were safe haven's for Scottish pirate's like my clan. I would love to live in the Isle of Barra one day.

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you , it’s an incredible place, in fact I will say the best place in the world and thank you 🙏🏼

[@duneideann9241]

Superb mate 👍 , been planning my visit for a while. Just need out of lockdown

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Thank you , I go every year , I managed it this year too, I did a little vid of that trip too

[@robhamtom]

Really enjoyed that Ross. Subsribed to your channel. We're a Blackpool so a trip like this is easy for us. And you're right what you said 'why would anyone want to go anywhere else ?' Your channel warrants alot more views than it gets ......! Hope your legs on the mend too !!

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Robert Thompson thank you very much , if you get a moment and I think there will be plenty of time soon check out some of my films to Nepal

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

@William Dryden thank you so much for your kindness. I simply love the place , have a look at my other vids of this year escape from camp Covid. On the other isles I camp on the beach but only before I take a king walk with my bin liners to pick up all the bits of rubbish 🙏🏼

[@allantodd4068]

Hi, magic video, would you be kind enough to let me know the name of the campsite you used on Barra, I couldn't hear for the wind when you mentioned it. Many Thanks

[@rosstetlowadventures9751]

Hi it’s Scurriville campsite , right at the very north of the island . There are two sites there and it’s the first one you come too 🙏🏼

[@MudasirNasheeds]

Great Vlog Ross.

Thank you Chris

[@swiftymorgan5064]

Enjoyable little film I'm pretty sure there was no road to Vatersay when I visited And remembered how much the dogs on this island disliked cyclists (ie me!)

Thank you 😊
