Chickens are good for ticks, plus you get eggs. Win, win.

[@susieheckles]

Would love to to have coffee with you 😊 Just wondering, I know you don’t do endorsements but I love Katie’s dresses, are they for sale in Scotland? I’ve never seen them 🥰

[@rosemarymee]

@@susieheckles She wears them with style.

[@jeanniebostic1567]

Absolutely do not give a second thought when people leave nasty or snarky comments. I am 73 now and I thank God we did not have social media years ago. People can be so cruel. Live your life like you want. You are kind nice people and you hurt no one. I enjoy your show because it gives me a chance to see scenery and a life style that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy otherwise. God bless you both.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you and God bless you too. Kx

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

I agree , with all that you have said , I’m in my 70’s & I’m also so pleased that I didn’t have the internet when I was young . People can be so nasty now . I love watching the videos , the scenery is amazing , everything about it , is just so relaxing 😌. 😘

[@helengesell2668]

Ignore the naysayers - they don't have a clue. I will advise one thing - please always use your safety glasses. You are too far from a hospital to dismiss the ramifications.

[@cannyexplorer5357]

No matter what life throws at you both, you rise to the occasion. If I was 40 years younger I would do what you are doing.

I must have missed this episode when it was put out. A better view of your cottage. I really love it. Your friend Jim and his wife are wonderful friends. I absolutely love the Celtic cross. When he gets his website going I would love to be a customer. Love this episode as all of them.

Lo 22:56 ve fishing too. Could you try for early morning or near dusk? I miss the lovely mackerel from Scotlands west coast. Was born there but now live in New Zealand. Warmer, dryer but just as beautiful. We dont have the hisoric buildings and castles and miss that so much. Its such a lovely dive back into my childhood looking at your stunning videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@alistairburrowes6151]

I saved a sheeps life tonight, just over an hour ago, it was the only brown one in a large field of whatever breed the others were, but it was on its back, legs in the air, and barely moving. I though of your sheep, they look so placid things. By the time I got over to the sheep that was upside down I was knac.... breathless, asked it if it was still alive and it twitched, its eyes were rolled back, so I just grabbed two handfulls of thick woolly fur and yanked it over, my plan was to hold it for a few seconds so it could recover a bit, but it was too strong, it pulled me over onto the wet grass, it fell over again, then it was off like a Red Rum sheep. Hope your both up and running again soon. Great channel - and inspirational.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Nice work! Good man. Sometimes heavily pregnant ewes will get cast, stuck on their backs like that and they can't save themselves. So you not only saved her life, but her lamb's too. 🤍 Kx

[@christinehodge3608]

So interesting and relaxing, but still lots to do,it was so nice to be given the fishing gadgets, and poles,who knows they have given good luck,😊

[@megmills4798]

Scott ignore people with less than nice things to say you are amazing as Katie is also keep your eyes on the goal do not acknowledge the distractions❤

[@robinleeder9111]

You two are hilarious together. Anyone who leaves any negative comments are clearly jealous of your lifestyle. You keep doing what you're doing and we will keep enjoying watching you

[@janetmackinnon3411]

My arms are sore just watching Scott at the ceiling!

[@frednorris2791]

My heart sinks when i hear you talk about tics, having had lyme disease myself, know as much about the condition as you can and respond immediately if you suspect you have it.

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤️. First of all, the inside of the cottage Is stunning! Second, the island is bursting with color! Third! You two look as healthy and happy as is legally possible! YAY! PS you're both funny 😂😅

[@CalenBernhardt]

You two have such great senses of humour. I laugh at least once every time I watch

[@mr.underhill7072]

Liked Scott’s nod to Eric Morecambe :)

[@girlnorthof60]

😲Scott !! "could you fall in?" 😂 Remember, it's called 'fishing', not catching... I could fish for hrs and only get a nibble but still call it a fantastic day. Thanks again for the great laughs.

[@tbrown2302]

There are trolls everywhere, unhappy souls that have nothing better to do than cut down others. Your sense of humor and banter with each other makes me laugh, thank you!

[@andrewoliver5222]

You two are great take no notice Scott about the stupid comments ……… actually you made me laugh so much when you were filming Katie fishing and you said 26 hours later 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really enjoy tuning in each time your both a breath of fresh air ….lots of love to both of you your doing a wonderful job 😊❤🇬🇧

[@KatrinaMacGregor]

Just FYI, I personally loved the island diaries.

[@catherine3902]

Me too xx

[@lynnelavella2432]

Yay Spring! Loved seeing Bree all warm and toasty in her bedroom! To save a few steps, park your wheelbarrow facing the way you will be going before loading. Excited to see you fishing!!

[@loverizzato9081]

Great idea! We had 6 chickens and still had tick problems. We rescued 6 more and the problem stopped within a month. We have 9 now and still no tick problems. Just be aware chicken math is a thing!

[@TheScottishIsle]

I used to have 12! One tends to keep collecting them, eh?

[@darlafisher-odjignadeau2710]

The golden eagle when flying close is a powerful symbol of respect, honour, strength, courage and wisdom toward that person.

[@allonesame6467]

Wonderful story Scott told of "The Swooping Night Flight of the Golden Eagle Talons at Eye Level". Amazing!

[@geamevel]

Bedge. I love it 😂 xx

[@jbfuzzy]

as long as your having fun fishing your doing it right. a bad day of fishing beats a good day of work.

[@aliciahorsepool4155]

It's wonderful that you love your sheep and cats so dearly ❤

[@geraldinemoreno1486]

Before 'Bedge' said it, I said "What the curtains". Thanks for another great show.

[@tinawelch3005]

i dropped my tablet on my face!!! "this is MY tool and noone else is going to touch it!". hilarious!!!!

[@katrinagibson6559]

I watched the diaries, but there were only 3 I think, they are very relaxing watching

[@stephenbassett4317]

Great sander and extractor but pleeeease wear a face make too, Scott, even the very best of systems still needs backup. Look after yourself mate. Thanks for all you're doing, loving it and nothing but admiration for you both. What an adventure!

The hose from vacum can be placed in left hand or right depends and your choice. Looks like those is long , So I think it would work. Oh wiggly woblee's ( lures) Scott my dear you are Therapist dream 😂😂😂

I spy a spinning Wheel!! Being an avid spinner myself, it would be lovely to see Katie spinning. Xx

[@TheScottishIsle]

Maybe you can give me some tips, I'm a rookie! Kx

[@AngelaBassett-f8s]

I'd be happy to, anytime. I started by just sitting and treddling to get a steady rhythm. Then got myself some fleece, washed it and when dry i hand carded it into rolags. I advise watching lots of KZbin videos. Before you know it you'll be hooked. 😊😊 ​@TheScottishIsle

[@mistybes]

Omg, you too are hilarious. Scott, your to funny with those glasses. I laughed out loud. 😂❤☮️🇨🇦

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Chickens will be a great asset & especially to keep those awful ticks away . Love them , so friendly, lovely eggs . What’s not to like . I miss the Island Diaries . Just love your video’s .

[@Terragato]

I'll absolutely check out Jim's site when it's ready! Before you even mentioned it, I noticed how stunning that stone carving was in the background. A viking ship would be right up my alley as well!

[@Sag3w0man]

What a pretty pink tarp! Did you know that if you put the firewood onto the tarp, you could pull the tarp up the incline and then start tossing? An American idea, so sorry. I love watching you both interacting with each other. I could watch you all day. Alas, you are not a 24/7 channel. ha ha ha

[@carolineleonard8214]

I wouldn't care if I caught nothing, the view from the pier is enough for me. Catching a fish is a bonus. Enjoy.

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

Great sense of humor you two have. I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing your life.

[@shellypontz4155]

I just love your videos. I look forward to each and every one😊

[@shellypontz4155]

Your seedlings have to HAVE TO HAVE HEAT AND SUNLIGHT , It is very necessary, or they won't amount to much of anything. The heat below the plant is necessary for germination. I worked at a plant nursery for many years. We used a heating pad meant for plants. Herbs are extremely hard to start without warmth.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thanks so much 😊

[@emtboss]

I admire you both for doing such hard work with your own hands while making all of us out here laugh with your wit and good humor…thank you!

[@marksargent2440]

Scott's quite a comedian may he should be called sandy Rome wasn't built in a day the fact you give us 2 nice blogs a week we are quite blessed also at least Katie finds you puns jokes funny even if your humour gos over some people's heads 😊

[@LB-gr7gu]

Love the fishing spot.. maybe next time they will be hungry.. Enjoy the rest of your day ❤

[@iamshotty]

There's always one negative Nellie in the crowd! They have no idea. Best to ignore them. I love it when Scott cracks himself up 😆 Ah he's such a character. My beloved Mother and Father always kept chickens. There is nothing like the taste of fresh eggs!! Bree looks so cuddly under the lamps, I always feel like curling up with her, especially because it's cold here today. Thank you my lovelies xx Teresa xx 🇦🇺♥

[@robinmoore5181]

Katie please don't fall in, don't listen to Scott. 😅 Scott stop harassing Katie. 😊 Great fun, enjoy your life on the island. ❤

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

Lee Majors - Six Million Dollar Man! I watched Monty Python because my dad loved it, but he didn't always understand the accents. So, I translated. I loved the Ministry of Silly Walks.

[@tricial4330]

So many reasons I could never do what you're doing....mostly, people and their silly comments. The Man in the Arena poem. Anyone who has time to sit behind/in front of a screen and criticize others actually living life and working hard, has issues. I"m glad you can get on with it and do what works for your. 38.9K subscribers, not bad at all! Each time I watch an episode (sometimes I watch more than once!), I realize I am experiencing Fernweh! (funny you mentioned Steve McQueen today- I was in one of the local grocery stores earlier today, Ali MacGraw was there-she lives in town and is still lovely!)

[@mgrizz2386]

Lol it was an eagle, not an owl! You crack me up! Both are amazing and so majestic when flying close to your head. Their wing spans alone are amazing and the way they effortlessly glide is jaw dropping. I'm glad you shared your encounter with the golden eagle so I thought you would appreciate that it brought back a beautiful and heart warming 45 year old memory to me. Once in a lifetime to have a great horned owl do that. I wish I had seen a golden eagle as close as you did, it would have been terrifying and amazing.

[@barbaradavie150]

You've done it again! Not even 10 minutes in and I nearly choked on my crumpet with laughing. "Bedge" Great episode again! I think I say that every time. Loved the fishing. I hope you have some luck soon. Loved the chat at the end. Bree is such a character and Scott's imitation of her was so funny. Thank you for the entertainment!

[@clairedelune7057]

Wonderful episode as always. I sure do love Scott’s sense of humor. Would love to see more of Katie’s spinning wheel and the fibers arts you do. Thank you for inviting us into your world and life.

[@lindacarrera9213]

I'm just checking to make sure everything is OK. I didn't see a new episode on Sunday. I love your channel and look forward to seeing how things are going on your Scottish Isle.

[@catherine3902]

Thank you again for sharing your life with us all ❤. So kind of you both to take the time to do thus as well as renovating your home and going about your daily lives. Really enjoy this insight into remote island life. Keep well. Keep safe. Keep happy. Sending love ❤️

[@tracebooks]

Your channel is the only one my husband watches with me and really enjoys as much as I do! He noticed your new foot pump has a gauge on it that should be measuring the pressure in what you’re inflating. Do your tires there have tire pressure recommendations on them? Keep fishing and eventually you’ll catch something! When I was about 13, my cousins and I went fishing in the lake beside where our extended family had bought some land. We fished off the docks all the time and sometimes went out in a boat. Usually we caught nothing, but that day I caught over 50 fish. My cousin Mark caught 35. My cousin Tim caught 32. My cousin Tom caught 18. My brother kept coming out to our boat in another boat and taking them back to our great-grandparents, who scaled and cut off the heads and tailes and generally prepared them for freezing. The whole extended family, the 20 of us that were there, had a fish dinner than night! I’ve never had such a catch again. We were kids, using fishing rods. Finally: sorry about the camera being delayed! That’s so frustrating.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Wow, what an amazing blessing, and a great family story for the generations! Kx

[@judymcgovern8454]

Thinking of the tick issue. They say some plants / herbs may also help deter them - Lavender, Mint, Rosemary and garlic. Scott try not let the odd negative comments get to you, the two of you work extremely hard and have a wonderful relationship x

[@wildshorecontemporaryartan1047]

So atmospheric....I have painted my Scottish surroundings from an Island studio for 5 years, it's the atmosphere that never fails to stir the emotions.

I went back and watched your first video again and loved it even more.I get my bearings more now when your moving through the house and property.I wanted to see the sheep again in the car on your arrival.We live in Australia.I don’t think we could cope with the cold weather.Looking forward to many more videos.They are different and interesting.xx

[@TheScottishIsle]

Hi Sue. You might like to know that I'm going to re-edit a few of the first episodes and do a more professional job on them (as soon as I have the time). These 'newer' versions will not replace the older ones, but I'd like to change the music to our current score and just tidy them up a little. Thank you for your kind comments and for watching us.

[@dudleydogism]

So pleasant to watch you casting, with the scenery across the water. It made a lovely , peaceful view

[@WriterGeek]

It's been freezing where I am and my seedlings took an age to come up (well, the kale popped up and then promptly got eaten by snails). But even though it's still pretty cold, they've all come up now. I raised them in a mini greenhouse (plastic) with fleece underneath and on top, and they seem pretty happy. An option, perhaps? Must be lovely to have good weather and sunshine up there.

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

As usual I love this vlog…. Scott can you fall in…. Katie thinking yeah sure 😂 alway make me laugh you guys. But also very interesting😂 🙏💙.

Never realised it took 6 hours to edit videos Scott well done making them for us.I enjoyed watching you with the fish lures explaining what they were all for and fishing Katie x

[@TheScottishIsle]

The filming and editing process takes 4 days out of my week. Two days filming, two days editing. I'm going to talk about this with Katie at the end of the next episode. Many people are unaware as to just how time consuming creating a vlog is.

Little tip for your seedlings I cover my with some plastic in the nighttime just to keep some heat in. Some seedlings are very sensitive to the chilly weather

[@chuffers77787]

Dear Scott and Katie, I believe you would love the books of Derek Tangye. Derek and Jeannie left their wealthy social life in London to go back to their roots in Cornwall in the 1980s, to a derelict off grid cottage remote from any road, with 2 cats and 2 donkeys! They discovered the true meaning of happiness and solitude. Deceased now their fans have a website called Friends of Minack, and The Minack Chronicles can still be bought second hand.

[@susangotchy2887]

Katie it turned out fantastic you did a great job on the sauerkraut. I tried it and mine turned out really good too. Thank you for doing the video on it. Guine hens go after ticks like crazy too and I think they would probably take on a Morton if it tried to go after them
