Join us as we experience the pros and cons of slow island life, living in our van on the remote Scottish island of Uist in the Outer Hebrides. In this video, we begin our adventure at a picturesque beach park-up, surrounded by stunning coastal views and the soothing sounds of the sea. From there, we embark on a series of explorations that showcase the unique charm and vibrant life of this tiny island

Watch as we experience the traditional Highland Games, complete with bagpipes and local competitions. Encounter wildlife like highland cows, reindeer, and join us on our search for otters along the coast.

We enjoy the slow pace of island life but also face challenges like unpredictable weather and the isolation that comes with living in such a remote place. Despite the struggles, the beauty and tranquility of Uist make it all worthwhile.

⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute, we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But then we were back on our feet, fully MOT’d and back on the road through Europe before we experienced another vanlife nightmare... our van caught fire!! After the trauma of that we had a massive change of plan and made our way to Japan. We enjoyed a three-month Japanese Adventure and then got back to Martha for some new European Adventures. After an incredible three-month Scottish road trip, we have now packed up our van and are heading to Australia for a new van life adventure!
