Ginger just like me. I'm gonna call him roger.
Alright, okay, so I have been in a bit of a funk recently
I don't even really know how to describe it
But over the last month
I would see since just before the Christmas break and over that kind of extended holiday period until now
I've kind of been in this position where I've had so many ideas want to take forward into
2019 and to execute so many ideas that think they've also got scrambled in my head and I've been stuck with actually
Just going out and creating I need to get over
I think what I need to do is basically just start and just do forget about the ideas for now. I want to get there
One at a time. For example over the last month, right?
I've been to a lot of different places around the world and I started all these videos they are and I didn't finish them
So I ended up just having like a mixed mash of started and not finished videos because I didn't think they were good
But anyway, nonetheless listen
I am back home in Scotland that feels amazing to say that it feels so good to be back in Scotland this past weekend
We arrived a couple of days before that
We took a trip to my mom and dad's house up in the highlands
And it was another one of those I started loads of sections of that video and didn't finish them
I'm actually just gonna make the video as it is because there was a couple of really cool things that I saw in this weekend
I want to show you guys in the video. So thanks very much everybody for staying with me
We've got a long road this year
I've got so many cool awesome plans, but I think I just need to be a bit more sensible about them
It is absolutely a marathon. It's not a sprint. So anyway, here's start today my weekend my first weekend back home in Scotland
like I said
It's great to be here and I want to show you more of Scotland in my vlog this year from Scotland to the world is
Exactly what this is going to be about so this weekend the Scottish Highlands
I want to take it away with that video in just a little second, but first of all, I want to say welcome everybody
Thanks very much for joining in if you're new, please subscribe
Share this video your friends and family if they might enjoy it. It's great to have you here
All right made up to the kind of Glencore region, which is pretty close to our final destination this region here at Glencoe
honestly one of my favorite roads in Scotland. It's unbelievably beautiful
These are the types of animals the deer that are just all a way along the road there's absolute hundreds of them
Just chillin by the roadside right here
He's giving me the side eye
Look at the size of this dude, he's got proper antlers him
Proper big stag weight tips and his antlers black underbelly
Ginger just like me the deer here going out of a pretty team to be honest fear you stalling I want to get
because there are big animals, especially that one right? They are as I feel
Adult stag it's pretty inquisitive. I think he wants food. He's probably being used to people feeding them
So it comes up pretty close to you. I'm gonna call him Rager
He comes undermanned
Good morning everybody
Welcome to Scotch Highlands. It is an absolutely
gorgeous gorgeous morning
And I say that not because it's sunny but because there is no wind the law lochs unit over they are is absolutely flat calm
There's not a breath wind. This is our first morning awaking up here and just like what I say
That is absolutely glorious. The Sun is actually shining the water. You can see it. There is flat like a mirror. It is absolutely
Perfection for a January morning. I'll literally have no idea how there's snow in those hills because it's pretty warm here
Although they were good but higher than where I am. We're actually gonna go for a wee bit of our drive
along the coast to the end election art and basically
I don't know whatever just gonna drive and when you've got a couple of days up here
It's just this is perfect for going exploring got the car over there. We're just gonna go driving. It's just the perfect place for it
All right, so this is Sana Bay on the Ardnamurchan peninsula
It is honestly an absolutely sensational a beautiful beach. It would not be at a place in the Bahamas
It would be a place anywhere in the world except for one thing
It's been freezin, but it's an absolutely sensational beautiful white beach
that there is Atlanta I
Managed to get the dawn up quickly and take a few shots from up above
which will hopefully show you just how amazingly
Turquoise-colored the water is yeah
We've got a little bit of nice light there as you can see behind me. One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been
Just a shame about that cold because it is freezing
Okay, we're the Sheep 30
They've got this quite genius illustration. What would happen to you? If you end up going into the sinking sons of Sanna Bay
Alright last stop of the day before we go home is somewhere that I've never been to before about always wanted to come
the most westerly point on the British mainland
Here not the ardnamurchan point
So I guess it's one of this place you have to take off the list if you come here
And even though I've been in this area are many many times before
I've never actually been here there is behind me start the market lighthouse
Louis I think I've probably seen
Nicer looking let houses in this one
It's very photogenic down here on the point is well, so I've got my big camera when I take some proper forwards as well I
Think it'd be a shame not to
That was a good sleep here, you know, one of the things about the Highlands is
There was just no noise at night whatsoever
you could hear a pin drop outside
There's so different in sleeping in like a place like that is just like a different experience. So
Yeah, good to wake up in the Scottish Highlands
It's a three morning here in Scotland and but we're heading back home back to Edinburgh today
It's been a very very good very quick step up to Strontian. We'll be back again soon and I
was hoping to stop halfway back and
Take some fort was a going call. But if the weather's like this, I won't be doing it because there's just no like
It's do or it's like a typical Scottish Highland deer.
Anyway, I'm gonna jump in the car now
Well, that was that Scottish Highland adventures and I'm going to be getting up to more of them this year at some point
I love the Highlands. I love getting up. There is beautiful
I love showing off this type of stuff to the world
Scotland needs to be celebrated more and that is what I'm gonna do with my content continuously probably forever
Shaun Scotland and showing Scottish culture. So thank you very much for joining me with that journey
But I'm breaking it my funk now think one of the keys is going to be this year
entirely
the word collaboration
Because there are a lot of creative talented people right here in Scotland right here, Edinburgh
Actually that we've never really done anything properly together, but last week last Thursday evening
I can't have challenged my own thought process on that and how we need do it and I was like
Right what we're gonna do. Let's just go to the pub
So basically I sent an invite out to as many creators as I could within a few hours saying listen
We're going to the pub. Let's go. I like the response I got was
Overwhelming so many people wrote back to me who are content creators
Vloggers and bloggers and instagramers people who had never met but who had seen online before saying this is great
we all need to do this and I think it shows there's an appetite among Scottish careers that we need to come together more because
There's a lot of things we could do together
And also, it's quite a lonely thing to do content creation when you don't know anybody's doing similar things
So we got everybody together and went to a pub in Edinburgh. Here's a couple of candid shots from that night
And the thing is what impressed me most is that everybody was just on the same page?
But I think the fact that we all just got together as a bunch of critters and threw ideas about helped us all out more
Vidoes all thinking that we're not alone. We all have plans and we can do them just because we're in Scotland
Where are we place where our called place but we have got lots of interesting things to share. So yeah, that was cool
Let's see here. That progress is over this year
So that's one part of the collaboration process is working with other Creators that is going to be this year
From Scotland to the world and that means showing off Scottish talent as well the second part as well. I want to show off some
People in Scotland small businesses in Scotland people who have been cool things in Scotland, and I want to share that with the world
Right and actually the other day I filmed another start of a vlog right but didn't finish it
But I want to show you guys now because like I said, it's got we've got a lot of passionate creative people
And one of them got recently and little just look at this
I've got a direct message on Instagram the other day from people in Scotland who are really passionate about quality coffee
I love my coffee. I have to admit so I was quite interested in they wanted to send me a sample of what they have
Roasted in Scotland. I was even more treated when they told me that that coffee actually comes from Brazil
Very close to where I spend a lot of time on the door if you watch the vlogs for a long time
You'll know that my wife's from Brazil and I spend at least three or four months every year so that was fast named
unorthodox roasters they're called
You can smell already as soon as a box popped open
wheeler I
Like the logo as well, unorthodox
Roosters who are actually based in Kinross in Scotland
this is the one that actually came from Brazil because I remember I had the conversation and they said the Wiese tutor is
The one that came from a farm in Brazil and it has chocolate hazelnut and caramel notes
I like the sound of that it comes from a farm
Honestly about two or three hours drive from where I stay in Brazil
Coffee connoisseurs are not gonna be that happy o, but I generally do not like black coffee. I usually have it river of milk
but
This coffee and I've had really really good coffee in Brazil before so I know the difference
If you have a really good coffee, you should have it like this. It's pure strange
I'm gonna try like this first and if it's good
Smells good. Then I'm gonna go into how I usually have it with milk
Mmm, there's nice
Good coffee, by the way
If you have a good coffee
There is no comparison from the coffee that we buy in the shops and in
Scotland and UK anywhere a good coffee is like another level this is
Great and like you can really appreciate when you have it black like this
At a massive IKEA bag of
parcels and
Letters from you guys who sent an over Christmas I was away over Christmas, so I didn't get to open them them
But yeah, it was pretty cool to get them all look
I've lined them all up here
probably recognize this guy here and
Yeah, like these cards have literally come from all over the world a lot from United States of America a lot from Canada people in
The UK senem people in Europe, France Germany Belgium, and I got a couple of cards all the way from Australia as well
That's amazing. And this one here was actually handmade
So I really appreciate all you guys who sent him cards and stuff. That was really awesome to get all them
So, yeah, like I think the day Marx's data I need to get out of my funk right
Definitely. That's why I did this video. Was gonna chuck this whole vlog today in the bin
But decided just to get it out there. I think sometimes that is a good way just to snap out of it is just
To get it done whether it's good or bad. Hopefully you found it entertaining or interesting today's video
If not, it doesn't really matter too much because this is a long process and I hope throughout this year
I hope to be providing content you are going to enjoy and fame valuable
I've got lots of things I want to do
But let's just take a step back
One thing that time we will get there but I really highly appreciate everybody who is on this journey with me you guys
Motivate me so much with your comments everybody who helps me financially on patreon, for example
Wow, what community is amazing and this year? We're gonna do good things
