Would love if Katie narrated an audio book, she has such a lovely way of telling a story. Love hearing about the history of the island and all the folklore.

[@ShelaghCorson]

I love Scott's sense of humour.

[@annmcgranaghan2131]

I was born and raised in Camelon, which is now part of Falkirk. Possible Arthur was in this area, and Camelon was Camelot. There is always a wee bit of truth in the auld tales. We Scots and Irish cherish a good tale.

[@louiseswart1315]

Those with a love for Scotland do too ...

[@sonyagair1219]

This South African enjoys her stories just as much believe me! She has the perfect tone, voice and way to tell or narrate any tale ❤

[@annmcgranaghan2131]

@sonyagair1219 That she does! She tells the history of the auld ways and the Scottish people with love and respect.

[@annmcgranaghan2131]

​@sonyagair1219 I hope that you don't mind that I share this with you. It's a small world indeed! My aunt was from S Africa , Port Elizabeth. She married my uncle after they met on holiday in Ireland and settled in Camelon. It always surprised me that she did but she was happy with her life in Camelon and died there.

[@marypasco2213]

Watching Scott on his walk-about, through the verdant green of the island, with Katie telling about St. Columba and Arthur, is a dream. Ignore the outsiders. Unless they trespass. Great work, you two. Love watching either of you doing, with no voice-over. That makes us truly 'a fly on the wall'. ❤

[@joanoneill381]

You just expect to see fairies dancing around the trees … the greens are gorgeous! St. Columba was a wonder. Love your videos and dreamy music.

[@kathyevans2968]

Yes!!

[@sushilanayar4266]

Hey - thank goodness for the Scottish isle to ease our week!!

[@hanneliewiese3477]

So beautiful - looks like a beautiful painting from a story book.

[@mariarobinson-jh7dm]

Thank you for the history of Arthur and Columba. Lovely walk Scott. Love the rock and moss.

[@SShellbee]

absolutely stunning forest ; thank you Scott for taking us along to this magical spot!

[@Julia-b7f1c]

When my mum moved to Raasay in the 1990s she said it was like stepping back to the 1950s. Everyone looked out for each other. Money was used but barter was also used. One neighbour would have garden fresh veggies while another had eggs from their chickens. One mayhave caught more mackerel than they could eat but a neighbour may have a smoker to preserve the fish that way and would accept payment in mackerel. If you were going over to Skye to do a big shop you would ask your neighbour if they needed anything you could get for them. There was an incident with swapping whisky for tea but that was just a prank. It was definitely a different pace of life compared to London.

[@denisedixon4028]

Hello from Penticton B.C Canada , I have been to Scotland and loved it .I really enjoy watching your videos.I'm now retired and this is part of my routine.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Wonderful!

[@brynapizzo]

This island is stunning with the woods, the moss covered rocks, and the cottage! The history lesson about Columba and Artthur was fascinating! I love this video! Thank you!❤

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Katie , your story telling is so relaxing & interesting . Loved the walk with Scott , every where looks so beautiful.

[@glynislaidlaw4064]

What stunning rock formations, so much to look at! The bitumen, I can tell you a tale, my scottish father, not long after arriving in NZ, over70 years ago now, bought a two roomed bach by the sea for us all to live in. He coated the roof with bitumen, I dont know if he knew then how hot the summers could get, .but during the summer the bitumen melted and dripped of the roof. Us children got covered in the stuff,I recall my mother scrubbing it off with butter! It burned! One of my brothers had white hair and he got it stuck in his hair, it had to be cut out!!! Imossible to get out of clothes! Oh what days! Really love your channel and look forward to every episode. The cottage flowers look so beautiful, amazing how such delicate beauty can thrive in such a place of wild weather.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Oh my goodness! At least it doesn't get that hot here...! Kx

[@patriciacolie3895]

Great episode 😊

[@judithstonier9872]

It was enchanting hearing Katie telling the stories and watching Scott walking through the beautiful woods then laughing at the Shed of --- Doom with you both thank you for the entertainment 😊❤

[@irmibullinger1421]

Thank you for the very interesting history lesson Katie. Scott, I can see people taking shelter under those overhanging rocks during a rain storm!

[@lauraautry6992]

I love the peaceful feeling I get watching your videos of this beautiful island and beyond. Your story telling is so rich and telling along with timeless music. Love to you both ❤️🤗🙏

[@Leslie-ot1ch]

I see on my list the 9 pack torx set and neewer 4 pack photography bags arrived on 12th, leather apron on 13th, triangle scraper today (19th) with other scraper coming Saturday 24th. Glad the apron fits you both. Take care and keep making great videos.

[@TheScottishIsle]

Thank you my friend, these are such a huge help to us! Kx

[@Leslie-ot1ch]

@@TheScottishIsle you're welcome.

[@Victoriakennedy1972]

Lovely history, I love how all the pieces of the puzzle seem to come together..Scot’s are survivors…something tells me King Authors Sprit is still alive and well 🤔♥️ I love you two’s interactions they crack me up, yall stay blessed! ♥️

[@cooperization]

Oh Scott,you're face says more than words ever do----brilliant--you're almost as grumpy as me!!!!

[@JMeixsell]

I also love hearing about the history of the island and folklore and your voice, and enunciation, Katie, is so very nice to listen to. Thank you for sharing your beautiful island with us. And Scott, you live in a rainforest so you should expect wet, not? And I agree with you, Scott. The back of that door is pug ugly.

[@dottiebaker6623]

What great stories about St. Columba and Arthur! How many people can say Columba took shelter in their bay? And I think you're probably right about the white stones, Scott. Most likely a raven or crow. Either that or a small human. Your flowers next to the cottage are SO pretty! While either of you sand the door, you might want to wear a mask over your nose, in case the paint has lead in it. Don't worry about editing out the sheep in your videos - they are commenting on your narration. Quite interesting, if you speak sheep, and can understand the gaelic accent.

[@judymcgovern8454]

You have the most beautiful voice Katie and make all your stores really interesting. You should definitely do audio books on the history of the highlands. Thanks Scott for the lovely walk around the island, stunning. Xx

[@tammaragill9347]

I love it. The shed (pause, pause, pause) of Doom! What's even funnier is Katie throwing in whale VOMIT where she can 😂

[@sarahdearborn9191]

Glad you didn't hurt your knee too bad Kati.

[@HelenMcGinnis-i9z]

The colour Green! Looks so great. I could listen all night to you guys. Looking forward to seeing the end result of yer living room door. Helen from Scotland! X

[@wildflower1335]

I am so very grateful for this amazing history you share with us. I am so moved...thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💖🥰🥰

[@nancybottemiller2522]

Love the scenes of green and the Scottish man strolling through the woodland and the voice of history in the background. You two are work well together. Scott is hilarious. The shed of ....doom, will be stuck in my head.😂

[@susiemartin3144]

Should be the Shed of Dreams!!!😘😘

[@kathyevans2968]

I like how you just get each other & enjoy each other’s company & humour, surroundings.. & share it. When I started watching you I thought it would be hard to live in such an isolated place, but not anymore! Like how the sheep want to join in the conversation!

[@sandralovegrove2805]

Love you both 🦋💜your history reading was marvellous! The scenery is dreamy 🧚‍♀️ the music 🎶 perfect 👍

[@roxannegaunt7766]

Love hearing the History of the island ;-) 💎

[@beverlyethridge5084]

I love the walks on the island with the wind and bird songs. Katy you should do audio books. Your voice is very pleasant to listen to.

[@megmills4798]

Wow loved this intro I love history thank you and hello😊

[@joyceglaister2086]

Absolutely brilliant combination of DIY, fantastic scenery and extremely interesting dialogue. Loved to learn about the history and your narration Katie. To The Shed of …. Doom 😢!!!! Thank you. 🐑🐑🐑🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@carolynstewart5825]

Loved every second of this episode. Thank you for all the interesting details.

[@pinkellie7346]

Wonderful history lesson. Kate, you should start a Channel reading Bed Time Stories. 💕

[@patmacfadzen7718]

Thank you for the beautifully shared history. Oh the many feet that walked these Isles.

[@livingjustright90]

Katie your voice is so compelling that I could listen to you for hours. The history of your wee Island is incredibly interesting. Scot I love your shed of ......Doom. We have one too. Its so full of junk that my husband says, one day he will venture too far into it and never be seen again.:)

[@Brittanysjoy]

Interesting history. And you mentioned Arrochar, my childhood home. Miss the beautiful woodlands of that place. Though now most are gone. Your woodland walk was stunning and brought back similar memories of home.

[@lynmargaretnorwood8015]

I do hope you are mending well Katie blessings and prayers for you both.

[@raneemilliman7130]

I knew the minute he said, "The Shed..." that he was going to say, "of Doom!" Probably has to do with that positive objective attitude Scott has about almost everything. I'm glad you're okay Katie. I've fallen and landed hard on my knee, in the past, and it takes a bit of time to get feeling okay again. The ice was your best weapon against the swelling that could have put you down for a lot longer. I'm always reaching for an ice pack when I think there is any swelling potential. Also, keep it moving even if just stretching and such to keep it from getting too stiff. You did seem a bit cautious on this video and I had wondered if something had happened. Stay strong.

[@catherinecooper2360]

Such a beautiful green forest! It's so lush and peaceful. I really love the music you add. Top notch job!

[@joannecooke7732]

If the rocks could talk,what tales they would tell, great video xxx

[@louiseswart1315]

Thank you for taking us where history and lore meet.

[@lindagage7315]

Lovely history lesson! Well done

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you--and each episode is unique.

[@susandonnell5019]

I LOVE your videos! The island is beautiful! I think you both are fortunate to be there. Keep doin' what you're doin'!

[@marcellalessard]

So beautiful scenery where Scott is walking!

[@pulchralutetia]

I bet this Premiere will be absolutely storming.

[@lindachenoweth9002]

The whole video could have been like the beginning and the end and I would have loved it! Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@carolb.4837]

In 635AD a monk from Iona came to Northumbria and was given Lindisfarne by King Oswald to found a monastery. This was St . Aidan.

[@KatyThompsonHaley]

So so Beautiful. ❤🌿

[@colinhall7778]

I've recently started rereading Lord of the Rings, and the opening shots here are just how I imagine the Old Forest to look. And the shots of Scott tramping about with his stick remind me of Tom Bombadil, albeit it with less singing 😂

[@megmills4798]

See you on rerun will be looking forward to it hope you both slept well😊

[@nataliewielgus1472]

❤❤❤Rose petals n quartz like a celtic offering in full moob

[@christinehodge3608]

Interesting video, thank you for sharing 😊

[@darlafisher-odjignadeau2025]

You guys are so funny you remind me of Lucy and Dezi Arnez. I Love Lucy. Thank you for both of your talents and preciouse time.✌

[@dcimedic]

I figured out how to purchase stuff on your Amazon list and am sending you the heavy duty paint scraper, I couldn’t handle watching you trying to sand through multiple layers of paint😂

[@mr.underhill7072]

Interesting title ! Love a bit of Arthurian legend :)

[@tripletgirl2484]

Lovely❤

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤ love you two! 😂

[@liesavillandre3481]

I love your commentary about your island. I hope you knee is going to be OK. Be safe on the Shed, of.... doom.

[@whiskeycook3323]

Sincerely hope your knee heals for you Katie❤

[@teresaoftheandes6279]

I love St. Columba.❤

[@markd3250]

I wouldn't call it the shed of doom, but the door certainly deserves being called that. The Door of Doom on the Shed of MorDoor. Love your videos, and yes, Katie should definitely do an audio book on the history of the Isles. Maybe that could be a separate video series, with Scott the frontman, walking around and showing things while Katie narrates.

[@terrydoe1842]

Quartz pebbles can be found as offerings at religious sites.

[@CarrollDyer-xj8dh]

You two are fabulous x Katir, more of your Scottish history of the islands please x

[@keithoakes6358]

Another great video mind your lass can tell a good tale thought I was watching Oak Island and the Nights Templar where coming out of the wood work and as you walked passed the cave you found the money pit all tongue in cheek matey

[@JanisTilyard]

Magical 🧙‍♀️Forest. Love the curmudgeon humour. 😂🤣😂 Thank you. 🙏

[@geddesjimmy]

Last year I bought waterproof acrylic rubber paint from Amazon, it is fantastic stuff and can cure a lot of your problems. It dries clear, I sealed my roof and gutters with it. Love your videos.

[@MargaretWood-z6l]

Brilliant episode

[@megmills4798]

Loved the walk😊

[@SonyaWard-pm9pm]

Ok you guys, I got the biggest laugh at the whale vomit comment and the look on Scott's face. Thank you so much for the history!! The intrigue and curiosity are endless and captivating!

[@tinawelch3005]

excellent beautiful stunning hilarious!!!!

[@Pamelasue414]

Interesting rock formation I’m thinking the striations were caused by glaciers. I can see a crow or magpie placing their rock collection there. 😊

[@andreaclarke2745]

Enjoyed the vid. today . So many different aspects / subjects. Love the Shed of .........Doom 😅 .SOD for short?

[@chrisallen7068]

Brilliant, there had to be one. 👏🤣

[@karenmacheel6364]

I love the new name of the former cabin! "The Shed..........of Doom" 😂

[@lieuwina]

Should call your cabin 'Mordor' not the 'shed of ---Doom' you wont feel very inspired in your cabin if you give it that name Scott. Thank you Katie narrating the history of Arthur and Columba while Scott was on his beautiful walk in the forest it fitted in very nicely with the story. Scott it looks like it could be a bird bringing all those stones there on that ledge on the rock would be interesting to see if more is added if you go back. Have a lovely day, Katie, Scott, cats and sheep.

[@KarenFeuilherade]

Thanks so very much for sharing! An interesting and special episode. Kx

[@peterproudfoot4127]

You should use an angle grinder with a flappy disc on it for heavy sanding, also much quicker.

[@kellyharrah11]

The Lodge or The Hideaway are good names for the shed... LOL!!

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Professor Scott with his sander 😅

[@iamshotty]

"The Shed.. Of Doom" Wow. So imaginative 🙄Awww bless lovely Shona with her constant baaa-ing in the background. Such beautiful Island shots and stories of old... Thank you xx Teresa 🇦🇺❤

[@megmills4798]

Katie you should do audio books😊

[@robertdonaldson6584]

Hello from Brunswick Maine, US.

[@r6duck]

The Shed of ...Doom. Brilliant

[@djmoulton1558]

8:22 What is the average airspeed velocity of a stone-laden wren ( if, indeed, that was a wren, and not a swallow). 22:00 If it's going to be "The Shed of... Doom," will there be a skill-testing question to enter, like "What... is your quest?" or "What... is your favourite colour?" etc.?

[@TheHylander27]

Woah there! Your Cornish Celts are not going to let you claim Arthur!

[@TheScottishIsle]

Doesn't mean he wasn't in Cornwall during his life, does it?! Kx

[@CarolPark-o4c]

You could cut some sturdy branches and pound them into the ground, forming a barrier to protect wild flowers in front of the house, that would look better than tools. lol

[@beverlyethridge5084]

I do agree withScot about the door.

[@flockoturtles]

Such a magically beautiful place to live! Call me crazy, but I see a dragon in the stone at 5:26 haha Better not take those stones from it's cave because if it dries up too much, that dragon is going to be on the loose. Seriously Scott, take a good look at that stone wall by in the cave. It looks to have been carved to the left of the little stone cache. *edit to say that this is your best video to date, and I love them all, especially the history.

[@ThatKraZeeKanuck]

The Shed of Dread

[@megmills4798]

Scott door looks good

[@terrybull1043]

Ha ha love it shed of doom brilliant 😂

[@Lakemichigangirl]

Katie don’t feel bad when Scott told you not to push on the sander it ruins the gears I too have been doing that had no idea.

[@megmills4798]

Shauna has grown so😊
