Hi Steve and Alicja. I just want to thank the two of you for the pleasure you gave my mother in her final months. I found your channel purely by accident late last year and told my parents. Since the beginning of the year I have been my mums care giver 13hrs a night 7 days a week. We would watch your videos as soon as we could and also went back into your earlier work while we waited for new ones. As she got sicker I would save the videos till she was having a good day. Both her and my dad loved your presenting style and gentle way your adventures unfolded with you showing us what interested you and therefore what you thought the viewer might like it too. It never failed for us. My parents on occassion would comment that we took you (me) there as a baby/toddler when you went somewhere they knew or my dad would have a story about a certain place. We emigrated to NZ in 1969. Mum (Olive) passed away last night (20 August)91 years young but she had watched this video with us on saturday night. I know NZ is a long way away from Scotland but the scenery would amaze you and you both would be most welcome. Again thank you both of you for bringing brief moments of pleasure to a dying woman and her family Thanks Adrian

Steve, I watch a lot of travel documentaries and travel features on KZbin due to my disability, and unable to travel. I can honestly say that your films are unique, and way more interesting than most, offering me a window on the world like no other. Thank you.

[@chriswinter6672]

​@@whigwood I agree wholeheartedly. The combination of your brilliant filming (especially on the ferry from Foula back to the mainlaind) and equally brilliant narration kept me spellbound for an hour.

I was up for a funeral about a decade ago on the ferry, as I couldn’t get a flight. Hadn’t done the ferry for 30 years and while the seats had improved, the floor was preferable and I got about four hours sleep before getting up before dawn and a wonderful sunrise. I love that last run into Lerwick but it was a glorious day and my brother, who’d never been, got to see it in all its glory. Last time we went up was last year with a camper and we and the dogs had a cabin. That’s the way to do it.

[@BarneyLeith]

You're a brave man, Steve Marsh! I enjoyed this video immensely. Many years ago, when I lived in Shetland, I was friendly with the school dentist. (I don't know if such people still exist!) Anyway, he was making his annual visitation to Foula and invited me to go along for the ride. He also kindly agreed to my taking my (now late, sadly) father-in-law with me. We flew in a Loganair Islander from Sumburgh and that was quite an adventure in itself. The weather was not particularly good. We got into the plane, the pilot gave us a very brief safety briefing, started the engines and, looking left and right to ensure there was no conflicting traffic, taxied on to the runway and took off. We flew at around 500ft and had to climb to get above the airstrip in Foula. And, yes, I recall that bumpy gravel airstrip! As we came into land, the pilot slowed the aircraft to around 40 knots and the stall warning went off just before we touched down. There were quite a few people waiting for the plane and those of us who had come on the outward flight and were returning with the plane to Sumburgh got off to stretch our legs. The dentist had brought his chair and his dental tools and these were unloaded at the airstrip. After around 20 minutes we piled back into the Islander. The pilot started the engines and lined the plane up for take off. It was a windy day and I thought my last moments had come as we bounced along the runway (which heads downhill towards the sea near after about half its length). The pilot seemed to be urging the plane to unstick and, yes, we left the ground and were immediately blown sideways by the wind. We made it home safely! I can't say that Foula would be my choice of residence, or even for an overnight camping expedition, but I'm very glad to have visited. Many thanks, Steve, for bringing back memories!

Population : 38 Population density: 3 people/km Foula was first inhabited as far back as 5,000 years ago Has a sub-circular stone construction that was man-made, elliptical in shape with the axis pointing towards the mid-winter solstice, built before 1000 BC Baxter Chapel is part of the Church of Scotland. It is made of grey-coloured stone and is situated "on the tail of 7 Hamnafield". Darn you for being educational and making me learn stuff, Marsh!!! 😜

Interesting video. Myself and my wife and kids spent 3years on Shetland. I was a locum Doctor and spent a lot of time on Whalsay which was a fascinating and delightful place. What I did come to realize on Shetland (and especially on Whalsay) that the sea is everything: a living, a pathway ("we'll just pop over to Norway to talk to a man about about a boat"), a source of worry, a connection with the older community, a connection to the weather and nature, and a huge source of food. Songs are generally about the sea "Rowing Doula Down" is a beautiful one. Words for the people on Whalsay? Tough and canny, but not Scottish. A close and very, (how can I say this) "mathematical" and "technical" community. The knitting is something incredible and the ability to navigate on the sea is astounding. Much less sentimental than Ireland, but very kind. From Ireland.

Steve produces wonderful videos and this really is one of the best. Love the journey, the sights and scenery and Steve's commentary and humour. I think Steve has got vlogging down to a fine art.

Absolutely fabulous video! You were right to keep it as 1 longer episode. Loved it, I think it might be my favourite one yet!😁

[@JayJay-zr3pb]

I absolutely love your content I was glued from start to finish definitely following more content plz

[@chriswilkes4350]

You are very brave to do these trips - too difficult and uncomfortable for me. But we all love coming with you through the videos. Thanks, Steve!

[@iralia333]

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you, Steve. Now its on MY bucket list.❤

Great Video Steve of a very beautiful Island… I think the reason most of the wrecked cars are left so close to the Piers on offshore Islands is that when a Barge arrives to collect them for disposal in Scrappage Yards they are easily accessible. I think the Local authorities may be responsible for this valuable service that ensures for good housekeeping of very special environments… Keep up the great work.👏

Fantastic video Steve, as always

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much!

I was so worried for you Steve as you traversed that cattle grid. Just imagine breaking you ankle there! 😮

Sooooo enjoyed this film Steve!🙏 Out of all your films I’d say this has to be my favourite so far. I had a little chuckle at the sight of the payphone with the bible next to it…desperate times and all that! Please know that your going without a bed for 3 nights on the bounce has brought about great results. Thanks pal.

BRILLIANT VIDEO. I've travelled to Shetland twice for the Simmer Dim motorcycle rally. I booked a bed as my fellow bikers had said you end up staying awake all night. Four of us in a cabin was about £37 each way. A small price to pay for a good night's sleep. I didn't get the chance to visit many other islands. This video gives me ideas for future exploration.....in the summer.

Whole trip was worth it for that flight alone. £106 for that experience when compared to what folk pay for a day at a theme park. Incredible.

fantastic adventure video Steve bet you cant wait to return, look forward to your next adventure

[@adriancranmer3695]

Amazing scenery from the plane and another great blog.

Such a lovely isolated island. We loved watching the ferry ride back. My hubby got seasick just watching it !😂😂😂

[@woodman2269]

It's not often I watch full KZbin videos from start to finish, I often skip most parts of them. But this one I found myself glued to it every minute from the start to the end.. Many thanks for doing it...

[@raewyndawson9307]

I shall now download every video of yours I see - and this was the third. You share so clearly the whole physical experience that I feel I shared the adventure. Thank you, thank you , Steve. May you stay healthy and curious for many years.

[@steve-marsh]

Wow thanks so much Raewyn!!!
