How We Provide For Ourselves On A Scottish Island – Life In A Tiny Cottage On The Isle Of Skye -Ep89

by



Willie, Sarah and their dogs, Jack Spaniels & Nori, continue their biggest adventure yet – leaving suburban life and moving over the sea to a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.

This week, the Skye Lifers are finally back out in Betty the Boat, after 7 weeks of terrible Scottish summer weather, and are hoping to catch something tasty for the table, back in their 200 year old cottage.

We also show you how we go about stocking up the cottage kitchen – not just with seafood, but with homegrown veggies and during a day of errands to the island’s biggest town.

Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!

  3. Thanks for another great episode. Did you know that errands are also called messages in Northern Ireland? And the word 'wee' is used whenever you want, wherever you want, and not purely in relation to something small. For example, if you're out in the boat and catch a fully grown whale (which should get you plenty of views so get a bigger hook and give it a try) you'd say you caught a wee whale. Just thought you might like to know, and you did ask for comments, after all . . . 👍🤗 PS: Pease say Hi to Jack and Nori from one of your wee viewers.

  8. Hi Pet. I came over your vids by accident and I'm really happy I did. Wor lass and me lived on a tiny Hebridean Island just south of you for 10 years and it was the best thing we ever did. (Erraid) just watching what you and your bloke are doing brought back so many memories of our time on Erraid. . out in the boat for the pots, growing all our own food, gathering in the seaweed for the gardens, helping the shepherd with the shearing and the Ceilidhs, oh god the Ceilidhs. Many's a time wor lass had to drag me away from the doo's on Iona. Anyway, I've taken up enough of your time now and I imagine you have lots to do. So power to your elbow and gan canny. Paul n Debs :)p.s. The minute I heard your engine I knew what it was. We had the same problem on some of our engines.

  19. Enjoying the videos, especially the fishing and boat clips. I would like to suggest that when your driving the boat, that you clip the tether to your clothing or around your wrist, it doesn't work wrapped around the handrail. If you fell out it's bye bye Betty and Willy's swimming home.
