Fantastic. I could watch this vlog 10 times over and not get bored!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Haha, thanks +John Clothier. You'd probably enjoy CruisingTheCut & Robbie Cumming's narrowboat videos too 😉

[@glennanderson8783]

Beautiful and historic together, what a pair. Thanks for sharing

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks +glenn anderson, glad to hear it 😊😊

[@ericcorse]

Winter has its own beauty. That campground had nice facilities.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

+Eric Corse Yes, definitely! And much less people blocking the beautiful views 😄😄

[@MsPeppersmom]

Such a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Glad you liked it too :)

[@CruisingTheCut]

Hans looked as though he was thoroughly enjoying that! And your dances always make me laugh. Cheers.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

He loves his freedom on camping trips! Lol, I should start labelling it #crapdance 😂 +CruisingTheCut

[@josepherwin8709]

Just as charming as the Christmas-time trip to France. Hans seems to enjoy these trips as much as you do! Such a lovely part of the world. I’d love to visit Scotland. It’s a bit longer drive from my home in California. Thanks for the teaser.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Phew +Joseph Erwin :) I thought spending Christmas in Paris would be hard to beat but Scotland is too beautiful a place not to get it on film 😊

[@rlalchanvine1792]

Really beautiful! Great info! Great sharing. Hope you get a nice companion for yr wonderful dog too, so he could hv company on his adventures as well.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

I'd love him to have a friend too +R lalchan Vine but he gets quite jealous when I fuss over another dog lol

[@SCRAPWOODTOCRAFTWOOD]

Great sights even in the rain thanks for sharing vikkie

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks +BIGBOY'S DIY... it was a pain fogging the inside of my camera lens though lol 😤😤

[@augustreil]

Cool place, thanks for sharing your Holiday with us !!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Glad you enjoyed it +august 😊

[@mariataif]

thank you Vickie and Fiance for this informative and wonderful video.We will be going to Scotland (hopefully in March).We were going earlier in the year but sadly due to a close family bereavement just into the new year it has been hard to motivate ourselves to get away in our campervan...but you both (and doggy)have given me renewed hopes that we can get away very soon!!! please keep the camping and diy videos coming love to see them all!!😀 regards and best wishes Mike

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Oh no +mickymost, well it's a lovely place for a much needed rest 😉 you should to the North Coast 500! We particularly loved Applecross 😊

[@mariataif]

Vickie Thank you for your reply sounds like a plan.Btw im glad your Mercedes Vito is performing well for you both, all the best Mike😊

[@denniskeuntjes6385]

Been watching your channel for a while Love it! Keep up the good vids. DJK, USA Wis.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks so much +Dennis Keuntjes 😀

[@HelpfulMum]

Loved this so much! It is absolutely stunning up in Scotland. Definitely need to plan a road trip there this year.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

+Helpful Mum thanks Sian 😀 definitely give North Coast 500 a go if you haven't 😍 one of our favourite places is Applecross and surrounding there too. Hopefully we'll try the Orkney Islands & Stornoway next. I bet they're stunning places!

[@bornfreefreedom4900]

Truly beautiful. Safe travels all.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks +Darren Hunt, we thought so too 😊😉

[@Create2make]

Great views, looks stunning

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks +Paul Willmore's World Of Wood :)

[@MrAnon-2024]

Nice to see Loch Ness Shores site again. We stayed there a couple of years ago when we hired a motorhome to tour Scotland. Did the same walk up to the falls and stopped for lunch in the cafe at the top.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Cool +Paul Rose :) I was impressed to find a campsite with private access to Loch Ness and one that's luxurious! We've often a lot of bad campsites but drawn to them for good access to the beach etc. We probably would have popped in to the cafe if we hadn't took a packed lunch with us 😄

[@TheAndyAlker]

Luv the jig at the end, all ya needed was a kilt lol 😀

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

+Andy Alker lol... You're so kind 🤣🤣

[@14DaveS]

Looks like you all had a good time, even though the wintery weather was still with you but a holiday is what you make it and Hans seemed to enjoy it too. Lol... seems odd to see you getting close to my neck of the woods when you went to North and South Shields.... Im about 35 miles south of there. Thanks for sharing your winter holiday and I am looking forward to your forthcoming projects and videos, take care :)

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks +Dave Scott 😊 I was rather intrigued by North & South Shields as I have a lot of ancestry from there. Sadly the houses I looked for had been knocked down :(

[@thetravellingcarpenter1621]

What a really great video! loved Hans in his jumper! was that girl at the end being attacked by midges? she was doing a funny dance? ;)

[@Dan-yw9sg]

A beautiful area! Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

You're very welcome +Dan 821 😊 So much untouched beauty!

[@Andrewkinnersley]

Really enjoyed your vlog. Have used bits and pieces whilst building my own Vito compact camper. Just finished so looking forward to using it. Trip booked for Austria in june

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Great +Andrew Kinnersley 😊 ooh, that sounds a fun adventure - you should definitely film it 😉

[@craiglawson8804]

Wow it looks lovely 😀 . We might have to go there when I’m back on my home soil this summer for our van/camping trip 😁👍🏻.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Well I hope I did it justice +Craig Lawson 😊 beautiful place!

[@josepherwin8709]

Great video, Vikkie! I've never been anywhere close to it so I appreciate this video. :-)

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

You should DEFINITELY go +Olly Parry-Jones :) So many walking places all over 😉

[@I_Am_Michael]

we all know why you go on these little trips. it is not for you to get away. it is so your dog can run and get exercise. glad you all had fun. thanks for the video.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Lol, we probably do +michael adams 🤣

[@Joe_Sant]

Great video. Looked bloody cold up there.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Haha, it was +Stokie Joe Bushcraft 😀 but worth the tranquillity and views! 😊

[@Skooty68]

Nice little town that Fort Augustus,was up there last August i think,my last 3 videos are from up there,best country in the world :)

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

😊 will go check them out +MrSkooty1968 😉

[@raccoonradar]

Just about to start converting a vw transporter, how do you get on with the 2 seater rock and roll bed ? What's it like with 2 adults in it? Would you recommend one or would you go full size? I like the lay out of the 2 seats and cupboards, but think the full size bed has its benefits

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

The bed is very comfy, but as a sofa, not as much. Width wise, we were always worried there wouldn't be enough space but there is :)

[@raccoonradar]

The Carpenter's Daughter it was the width I was worried about, not to worried about seating, just the sleeping part, nothing worse than a bad night sleep, thanks for the reply

[@garrystacey7018]

Great video 👍🏻

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Cheers +Garry Stacey 😀

[@patrickshaw9376]

Nice video, hopefully be up their in the summer. Just a thought, I used a sheet of white backed hardboard for a video projector screen. Only a couple of quid from B and Q. All the best.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

+Patrick Shaw cool idea - I've now neen asked to make one for home too lol

[@DriveLongRoad]

The Nessy Stickers are funny. 😎

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

I thought so too +DriveLongRoad 😂

[@DriveLongRoad]

:)

[@MrGeoffreySmith]

I reckon I need to visit. Beautiful part of the world 😀

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Definitely +Mr Geoffrey Smith 😀 I'd love to put our house there!! 😄

[@MrGeoffreySmith]

The Carpenter's Daughter I'd like to build a Norwegian style, timber frame house close to one of the rivers and have a hydro generator in the water running everything. Oh, and have two German Shepards 😀

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

+Mr Geoffrey Smith yes and have no neighbours 😄

[@MrGeoffreySmith]

[@molsky13]

Hi there how did you find dog friendly places to stay and eat, loch ness looks beautiful enjoying your vids

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

We found a lot of window signs but I spend a lot of time just googling dog friendly and quite often google finds dog comments in tripadvisor which is so handy!

[@Ian-Hall]

Excellent video. I live in the north east and nice to see you enjoyed it. Marsden rock used to be a massive arch, but collapsed in 1996. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsden_Rock

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Will take a look +Ian Hall :)

[@fynbo1007]

Sweet and beautiful dog, what kind is it? How high is the tide? Thank you for sharing your amazing video

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks +Carsten Andersen, he's a tri border collie :) I'm not sure about the tides.

[@fynbo1007]

The Carpenter's Daughter thank you for your answer, about tide, what is the difference between low and high water, sorry about my English.

[@deltafox9429]

Loch Ness is a very nice place... that's why nessy lives here ;-)
