Willie, Sarah and their dogs Jack Spaniels & new puppy, Nori, continue their biggest adventure yet β leaving their suburban life and moving over the sea to a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
In this episode, the Skye Lifers are still in the stunning archipelago of islands called the Outer Hebrides. This time, however, we are chasing the sun to the north and taking a trip through history on the Isle of Lewis. From 5000 year old stone circles, to mysterious Iron Age structures and finally an insight into an almost forgotten rural way of life.
Plus, we take a walk on the final day of our trip and reflect on our personal connection to this island, as we tell the story of how we first metβ¦
Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!

Absolutely loved your Western Isles videos, you should try the Uists and Barra next, very different landscapes but the beaches are amazing – and the spanners would love them πΎπΎ
Stunning scenery. Loved visiting the stone circles and the reconstructed black house. Thanks π
The Brochs at Glenelg are awesome. Definitely worth a day trip and you can get the little car ferry direct from Skye to Glenelg. wildlife is also insane there. Would suggest a drive back, as the Ratagan Pass is awesome. Worth an explore. We were there last year. I introduced my family to your vlogs every evening.
I enjoy the music in your videos, always very unique and enjoyable. . Many creators are forced to use stock music and it gets so quite old.
Thanks for sharing your travels, always makes me want to visit Scotland! Have you checked the dog beds for the missing purse? My puppy was a monster for stealing and hiding important things, even a passport once π
Another brilliant video. The Scottish islands are definitely on the list to visit – it's a bit of a drive from Cornwall, but it's on the list. If you ever make it to St Kilda, that would be fascinating. Friends worked out there and between the non-herding sheep, the St Kilda mouse, and the dead seabird porridge, it sounds so interesting. I look forward to your next adventures. Best wishes from sunny Cornwall
Ritual activity, the archaeologists catchall term for "we don't know"
I have a notebook somewhere with doodles of housebuild ideas and there's quite a few based around brochs, crannogs and similar ancient style dwellings often with a central fireplace. Crazier one being a hobbit hole that merged a fishpond with a skylight.
Looks great x
Your land rover has served you well on these trips and with the dogs. Love the Darth Vader joke, well done Willie. Thank you both for taking us on this journey, very interesting about those stones and black houses. I love your music Willie, I find the song on the end living the 'Skye life' always have me tapping my feet. Have a lovely day.
I just returned from an 18 day road trip of Scotland. It was my first time visiting this beautiful and dramatic country. We were so incredibly lucky to have stunning weather, some days in the 70'sβ€ I love watching your videos and fantasized about running into you on our day trip to Skye…maybe next time.
I've never been to Scotland, so why is it that I always end up so emotional at the beautiful journeys you make? Love Jack listening to everything that is said to him, I suspect that doggie has more intelligence than me lol.
so glad you went and filmed, friends urged me to go, but honestly, using ferry and transport, it would have been impossible to see all this without a car. cheers! hope to catch you in a few weeks on Skye.
You should have visited the wife's art gallery near Bosta beach, Bernera
Thank You !
ππͺ΄π
really enjoyed this video thank you
Long time since I heard of that but My mum would never give a purse without a coin either,it's a superstition thing back home in the North East of the UK too but not so much here on the lovely isles of scilly,I think we may have had a bit more sunshine on the isles than the Hebrides but the hours are still low..Thanks for the Interesting contents guys.
Lichen on a standing stone,…. then a lamb on a stank,….β€ love this @ 9.25 min.
Happy Trails you two lovely people! π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ

This is a beautiful location. I had never heard of these rock formations. The dwellings are also very interesting. π·πΏππΊπΈ
Our Grandson is named after the Callanish Stones – Callan Lewis.
Great and beautiful places to see π love the way you filmed it and great music. Add these πππππππππππππππππ to your thumbs up counter.
Great adventures love to see more…
Loved your last two videos guys. It looks so wild and free. Coming over from Sydney Australia next year so writing a list of all your places you visit on Isle of Skye and Lewis and Harris. Thanks guys and look forward to your next video.
Outstanding….content always! THANK YOU FOUR!β€β€β€β€
