Vlogging from the Isle of Skye ....


I keep intending to write now and then about favorite "vloggers," those brave souls who take to YouTube to share their lives and locales, passions and pursuits on a regular basis. It's a field of endeavor that exploded during lockdown as a vicarious way to ease isolation and just continues to grow.

I follow a dozen or more on a fairly regular basis (once a week or so), most folks home-based elsewhere in the world. I kind of know what's going on in these disunited states of America, so am always interested in what's going on elsewhere.

I've blogged for many years, but vlogging ups the game. Those who do it must be skilled at presenting themselves and willing to invest a lot of time in scouring their lives and surroundings for content, then filming, editing and presenting the result in a lively manner. Talented vloggers can generate income via YouTube and various add-ons. Some do that and some don't.


In any case, I've been watching "Living the Skye Life" lately, coming to you live (more or less) from the Isle of Sky, Scottish Highlands. The vloggers are Willie (a musician), Sarah (an artist) and their dog, Jack Spaniels, who moved to a tiny cottage near the water on Skye from a suburban home in Kircaldy, Fife.

They're a lively couple with a very personably dog who do a tremendous job of showing off the spectacular Skye landscapes. You can join them by following this link to "Living the Skye Life."
