VANLIFE in the Outer Hebrides (NOT what you'd expect)

[@ianross04]

Now that is some views!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Isn’t it amazing? 😍

Aren’t the Hebrides so wonderful? Heaven on Earth.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Paradise 😁

[@hughdixon752]

Everywhere you go we want to go. And we will. Thank you for sharing.

[@highlands2hammocks]

So glad to hear we are inspiring your travels 😁 enjoy your trips!

[@Alastair510]

So nice to see a 'van life' video where it doesn't go on about being able to 'park up anywhere'. There are good places that don't cause issues, and well, not such good places that give van owners a bad rep. Glad you enjoyed the Uists. Next time, try Harris and Lewis (although the driving isn't very van friendly). Even more spectacular beaches, mountains and islands scattered like confetti in the lochs.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Absolutely! We are very passionate about educating how to live responsibly and in balance with the local area ☺️ thanks for the suggestion we can’t wait to go back 😁

[@toobydude41]

Well I've never heard of a ceilidh before...it looked like a rollicking good time! Awesome camera work too OMG!!!

Uist sounds and looks amazing. I was talking to a Skye resident at the weekend. They appear to be 2 types on Skye. Those who benefit from tourism and those who hate it. She claimed its ruined the Island. Beauty spots are destroyed by all the crowds. Her friends have started erecting signs telling non residents they aren't welcome and putting rocks and posts down to deter wild campers and van lifers. It's refreshing to hear The Hebrides haven't been affected in the same way.

Great video, love you guys. So much fun.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw thanks Kevin 😁

I was born and bred in England and moved to NZ in 2004, and the closest I got to Scotland was Berwick when I was based in Durham! I sooo regret never going to Scotland!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Never too late to come 😁 you will love it!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Amazing 😁 glad you enjoyed its

[@saxavoe]

I've lived on most of the islands in outer Hebrides . Orkney and Shetland . eriskay is great also Harris if I had to settle on one definitely Harris. Although I live in Scotland now . Not native . I want so badly to travel Ireland also. But the beaches in Hebrides are so white and beautiful

[@highlands2hammocks]

What a beautiful place to live 🥰

[@simonstevenson1422]

Our first trip in our motorhome was to the Outer Hebrides. It was all amazing but Vatersay and Barra takes some beating

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s so beautiful! We need to head over to those spots next as well ☺️

[@jamesstrachan2288]

Absolutely beautiful place. I was born in Scotland (Govan). However, i need to say ur both braver than me i could feel that cold water from Coffs Harbour. Love your videos.

[@hoonose2154]

It is such a beautiful place!

[@susanashcroft2674]

Beautiful scenery, stunning views kind people and a Ceilidh to go...what's not to like about The Outer Hebrides. 😀😀

[@highlands2hammocks]

Exactly 😁 the best night out haha

[@paulharvey9149]

You definitely need to go back and do Harris and Lewis - and why not Barra & Vatersay too - and then maybe a Western Isles Book...? They've all got that lovely white sand and clear water, don't worry!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha all in the pipeline for next year 😝 planning on doing a bigger road trip of the outers next summer

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

Fabulous video both. It is just so spectacular out there. 10 out of 10 for all the parkups. Waking up to views like that are awesome. Keep loving the adventure Both

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you enjoyed it! It is the best way to wake up 😍

[@suzybeetravels]

Stunning you would never know it was Scotland, That park up was a 10 for those views. Its on our list to tour all of Scotland.

[@highlands2hammocks]

For sure! We can’t wait to go back 😁

[@maureenjones7532]

Enjoyed thoroughly. Have been to Lewis and Harris but did not make it to Uist. Must return .

[@highlands2hammocks]

We only had a weekend unfortunately but we have a big trip planned next year 😁

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you 😁

[@thelittleredbus]

Great video - you’ve added another destination to our to do list. But get yourselves to Lewis & Harris - Luskentyre beach is to die for (take advantage of the Lewis trust parking). Also Harris gin distillery in Tarbert is great and makes the finest gin - take the offer of the sugar kelp in your gin. Heavenly!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Got big plans for 2023 😁 can’t wait!

[@crawfordg]

Hi Gemma and Campbell, another fantastic vlog. There was part of my work I was involved with more than 40 years ago all depended on Cal Mac to the outer Islands. Outstanding vlog. do we live in West Sussex possibly because we are 150 mitres from the sea. Nothing like a dance a few drams especially if is it a Glen Grant. Regards Crawford

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks Crawford 😁 glad you liked it! Must have been so fascinating to work out on the edge of the world

[@davidmcgeachie4584]

@@highlands2hammocks we also watched @goingthewholehogg recently in the outer. We love the raw beauty because that's what we are used too. They too show off Scotland very well.

That was like my childhood revisited. Excited for your next destination. Safe travels guys.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw glad to hear it! 😁 thanks! You too

[@discovering_scotland]

Stayed at East beach a couple of years ago and it was stunning even though the weather was not great

[@highlands2hammocks]

Its a beautiful little spot 😀

[@timsands7288]

The Outer Hebrides are wonderful, Some fabulous campsites on the Uists as well as great wildcamping spots, You have so many more great beaches to discover. And don't miss Barra and Vatersay. The tombolo beach on Vatersay combines the Caribbean on one side with the wild Atlantic on the other. Great drone footage: brings a new perspective. Thanks for a lovely film.

[@highlands2hammocks]

We have some longer trips planned this summer for all of the islands and we cannot wait 😁

[@ipirrie6734]

Fantastic video, definitely inspired us to go again. We went in Aug 2020 and had the most incredible weather.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw so glad to hear it 😁 we hope to go back again next year for a couple of months

[@bryanbowes2778]

Hi guys, hope your both well, I love the outer Hebrides it's my fav place in Scotland, you must visit Frobost Headland & Beach on South Uist I was there in February and even though it was bloody freezing, the sun was shining and it was so beautiful, there are so many beaches there it's unbelievable, ohhh and a visit to see Hercules the beer is a must haha 👍

[@grantw7]

Thanks for the 'must see'. We will be on Uist next year and it is now on my list. Thanks.

[@highlands2hammocks]

That is the best weather 😁 blue skies and a crisp frost in the air

[@Chorlton18]

Just ordered both your books xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw thank you so much for the support Jason 😁

[@thekruzerboys2323]

Great video guys. The outer Hebrides is a stunning place where I have spent a lot of time there. I was lucky enough to work on South Uist on and off for 6 years firing off Rapier missiles. Really enjoyed this video and it looks like you both really enjoyed it but 2 days is not enough. So many other places you can visit but I am sure you will be back. Looking fwd to your next adventure.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Must have been so strange to live and work out there! Remote and peaceful compared to the mainland ☺️ glad you enjoyed it! We have more trips out there planned next year

[@brettgrady1921]

Looks amazing. You have books?

[@highlands2hammocks]

We have self published two books now 😁 check out Destination Earth Guides for more info ☺️

Hi Guys what a beautiful video. Spent many holidays as a child in Scotland but the East coast with Grandparents. Always wanted to see the Western Isles but sadly never made it!! Many thanks for the views, cheers, John.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks John 😁 still plenty of time to see the west as well

[@darrenpardoe]

So enjoyed your v-blog. It makes me wonder what would you take to barter? The islanders must miss something from the mainland?

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you 😁 haha they do have cash here 😂

[@darrenpardoe]

@@highlands2hammocks The islanders must be short of something? LEVI 501's, Worcestershire Sauce, AAA batteries? Go on, ask one of them, there must be something. If its anything to go by here at the moment, its Eggs and Milk 🖖

We will be on the same ferry to Lochmaddy next year and will be travelling in the dark to Balivanich. You mentioned how dark it was. How much traffic got off of the ferry? I think it is best as a first timer to Uist to let everyone pass me and then take my time. We were on Lewis in Sept and as travellers from Canada we appreciated how light the traffic was.

[@bryanbowes2778]

Hi, we arrived in the dark at lochmaddy and drove down to South Uist, the roads are mostly single track but there are so many passing places there nothing to worry about, I'm hoping to get back next year 🤞

[@grantw7]

@@bryanbowes2778 Thanks Bryan. I expect many one lane roads, but is the road from Lochmaddy to Balivanich two lanes?? The one from Tarbert to Port of Ness on Lewis is two lanes.

[@bryanbowes2778]

@@grantw7 hi, in think it's mostly single track roads if I remember rightly, but if you take your time and if you do get people behind you just pull into the many passing places and let other road users pass, I found the roads a lot quieter than what they were on Lewis/Harris. The locals seem very friendly there and nobody that I seen was in any kind of mad rush.

[@karenrobinson3283]

The Outer Hebrides is my favourite place. The only problem is it captures a piece of your heart and you have to keep returning.. Uist is my favourite but Harris, Lewis and Barra are all incredible too - each has its own characteristics. Loved the video - thank you!

[@grantw7]

@@bryanbowes2778 Thats sounds perfect. Thanks. Sounds like the traffic on Orkney.

[@TheCampersChronicles]

Guy, came across your channel doing my research for our trip to the Outer Hebrides. Thank you for the effort of putting this together and the what three words locations (even though I think the location near Kilbride camping wasn't quite accurate!?). Question for you... how many days in advance should I book the ferries in-between the Outer Hebrides island? To retain utmost flexibility, I would prefer to book them a day in advance, ideally. Maybe two. We are planning to travel end of May. Due you think that will be sufficient or should I book even further in advance. Thank you for your advice!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I would suggest booking far in advance for the peak season but we went in October and booked the day before so there isn’t too much of a need 😁 May would be the shoulder season so I’d suggest a couple of weeks at least 😊enjoy your trip!
