Hello! We are Willie, Sarah and pups Jack Spaniels & Nori. Join us on our biggest adventure yet - moving from suburban Fife to a tiny cottage on the Isle of Skye!
Coping With The Unpredictable Weather Of Skye - Life In Our Cottage In The Scottish Highlands - Ep84
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.
In this episode, the Skye Lifers share their coping strategy for the wild and unpredictable Scottish weather - proving that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing!
Plus, Sarah & Jack do a salvage mission to the beach to find some plastic to be recycled, Willie is experimenting in the kitchen with some oddball veggies and we catch our closest glimpses yet of the majestic white tailed eagles that frequent the glen - the largest birds of prey in the UK.
Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!
Sarah, Willie, Jack & Nori xx

Every time I hear the transitionary guitar chord (like at 12:30) I always think of Explosivo by Tenacious D. Is that what you were going for? lol
Really love the channel. Relaxing and the atmosphere of Skye seems like perfection. I get out in nature a lot and i love the look of it.
❤great video looking forward to the recycling of the hard coloured plastics🙏🙂
Wanna hear something funny? I have a buddy,down in Kent,I bought him a little spaniel puppy! This puppy is bonkers. I suspect that my friend is a bit over his head at the moment,but he will eventually have a proper mudlarking friend.
Such lovely footage of your wildlife. Well done.
Thank you for recycling all that plastic
Very interesting video, keep it up kids from a 68 year old grandma
Keep an eye on your pups with the eagles .
Fab vlog as always guys! There is a breeding pair of White Tailed Eagles across the loch from us and, like you, we love to see them.
Your kit would work for a visit to Vermont too
I'm loving this week's blooper reel! Live with dogs is so unpredictable, but I couldn't live without mine.
What do the say about never working with animals? 😂😂😂
I see ACOTAR books on the table 🥰
Haha yep! I’m reading Crescent City now but on the kindle as we’ve run out of space for books 😅
As always you guys do what you do best. Great recycling Sarah 👌and plenty choice of clothes Willie for walking outside 👌👌
Dinosaurs on the beach, you are on the right island, well worth a trip to the fossil museum at Staffa, Skye has some really really unique dinosaurs on it.
Hi folks!! How is your latency on rainy days and winter time??? With your starlink. Thx
Pretty good still! We’ve only noticed a few times that the connection is affected by the bad weather and usually only during really big storms with lots of heavy rain.
Willie, Sarah and Doggies, Bald Eagles are fairly common here in Ferndale/Billingham, WA Your Eagles look so much like ours , they are probably cousins. Our climate in Whatcom County can be similar to yours, but our Cascade Range of mountains is 30 miles to the East, so with Bellingham Bay to the West, ours may be more moderate. We have a saying here, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes" I am happy your feeling better, Willie, sorry you missed the Castle event. You need to down a bit more of your fine Scotch or possibly some of Sarah's cordials, eh? Cheers, Rik Spector
Loved the colour coordination of your clothes with Sarah’s painting behind you for the end sequence. 😂 great videos every week!
A wee bit of heaven whether I watch on a Sunday or on this occasion Monday night. What to wear on Skye...everything lol...but being like an onion wearing layers also works 😂....guys makes ma heart sing watching your weekly vids 🤟🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏👏 The famous Ravenscraig Raptor that dinosaur eh!!
Hi , so in your wrap up of your fabulous adventures, I have noticed that the painting behind Sarah, is back being proper again , for the last 4 or five weeks it has been wonky each time you do your wrap up of the video, I would think others have mentioned it, been following for a while , Dirty Secrets, love your videos
It’s like a full time job just keeping those paintings straight haha!
Did you purposely wear clothes to match the colours in the painting behind you! 😂. Love your videos. 😊
Ahaha no it wasn’t on purpose, but we love it 🤣
Hi guys well we're so jealous of u seeing the white tailed eagles right on ure doorstep,when we saw them it was on a boat amazing birds and huge.we chuckled coz we already spotted the t rex 😂. Bloopers this week are hilarious willie never gunna win with nori on the bed and tip tap little paws running in and out.and sarah with Jack and the stick so funny.🤙love the book so much.xx❤
Could only read the mountain. Is the company mountain warehouse?
No - Mountain Equipment. It’s a really reliable outdoor brand 👍
I've been catching up on all the early videos after finding you recently. I'm so pleased you did get in the water, it was the first thing i thought of when i saw your location! But then i am a year round swimmer, even in the snow in the Cairngorms. Hope you've kept it up.
Oof you’re braver than we are haha! We need some sunshine to get our swimming things on 😅
Lovely to see all the wildlife down on the shore, I feel so sorry for them in these storms… Ace job Sarah clearing that lot just hope they don’t blow away like last time! My heart broke for you in that old video 😮 yer a wee trooper…as is Jack! That big stick took effort to carry😂 lovely modelling segment from Oor Willie very informative, but I’m here for the bloopers! “Never work with children or animals “ 😂 Godzilla is cute, u should keep him 😂x
Did not know dinosaur ran amoke in Scotland, take care x
Cracking pics of the eagles Sarah.class.😊👍
Thanks!!
Amazing that you have eagles right outside, I think all the fresh air and walking is doing your health and mental wellbeing good, take care x
Another fab video ..thank you for making them for us …I would love to live on the Isle of Skye ..
Keith & Christine love your channel, would love your life. Suggestion, since you call Jack, Jack Spaniels why not call Nori, Nori Springer They're gorgeous, we have Wallace a labrador and Bonnie a Golden Retriever. You're doing a great job.
Very informative vlog regarding plastic waste & suitable clothing I hope that helps budding walkers
Get yourself a tripod. They aren’t expensive and should mean that lovely long L lens gets used to its best.
We do have tripods, but very hard to use when running across fields and battling with the elements haha!
I am NOT criticizing! This is info for the readers who are interested in wearing good outdoor layers. Cotton really is the worst layer. Especially against your skin. It does not breathe well and does not wick at all. Just becomes a big soggy mess that takes ages to dry. Use wool. Or a good quality synthetic. Or a wool and synthetic. Feel great against skin and wick very well. Cotton should never be worn. I have backcountry telemark skied in Alaska and Canada as well as bikepacking, hiking, etc. Just my opinion -fair but most experts agree. However choose what you can afford and work your way up. It can be expensive! However generally very well done and excellent practical and proven advice! Be well!
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ MARVELLOUS! THANK YOU
Wow those eagles are amazing! Great video as always.
Those eagles where are majestic. I hope you can get a closer photo. 😊
As always, I absolutely LOVE your channel !! No matter what you and the pups are doing, you always make my day a happy one. Thank you so much for sharing your life and adventures ☺ Love and hugs 🥰🥰 xx
❤ you two with your plus two furry spaniels‼️ Thank you for a great Sunday treat while enjoying morning tea ☕️
how 'bout an merino wool base layer? Very comfortable and wicks the moisture away from your skin! (in contrast with a cotton t-shirt).
I dont understand this trend of constant choppy editing every few seconds - Are people not capable of speaking normally ? or are viewers SO distracted that youtubers have to cut their speech every few seconds to allow a constant uninterrupted stream of words to not even breath? Its very unnatural :/
Unfortunately, it’s down to (average) audience retention. Any gaps in flow most often result in a skipped video these days. It isn’t a trend, or a fad, or a stylistic choice.
@@livingtheskyelife That's so sad to hear :/ Obviously do what you need to do to keep the channel going but that peoples minds are degenerating that quickly that they haven't the patience to listen normally is frankly worrying. No wonder the world is in such a confused mess :)
We will be there soon! One of those stupid tourists!! I can’t wait to find some of your art (which I could buy off of Etsy….but why) Plus we are escaping the desert and over 105 degree temperatures!
Oof - definitely not desert conditions here right now!! 😅 Have an amazing trip!
Great stuff as normal but im curious as to how did all those plastic boxes end up in the woods and not on the the beach shore?
Hi, they come in on the waves, then the high winds (particularly in winter) blow them into the forest. We sometimes see 100+mph winds here in the winter.
@@livingtheskyelife Ah..got ya. I forgot about the wind! I was amazed and so saddened at all the plastic I saw on Camasunary bay when I walked the Skye Trail. Locals annually collect it. Thanks for doing your bit!
😊😅😂❤
If you need more outro ideas I'm sure there's many things Willie could smash into his chin! 🤣 Lovely video as always!
Love this video.
This episode gave us absolutely stunning photographs and scenery! Thank you Willie and Sarah ❤❤and it was great to see Jack out and enjoying the water 😅
Yay, i have the same boots!
Dinosaur!
Thank you for all you do in looking after the environment up there - great job in collecting all that plastic for recycling! Good advice from Willie on what to ewar - so many people get caught out with the weather in the Highlands.
great info thanks
