🎵 Epidemic Sound - Music in my videos

Travelling to Fair Isle isn’t always straightforward. Weather-dependent flights or a famously rough North Sea ferry crossing mean nothing is guaranteed when trying to reach the UK’s most remote inhabited island. But once you arrive, this isolated place feels very different from what you might imagine. In this video, I take you inside the UK’s most remote accommodation, the Fair Isle Bird Observatory, to show what it’s really like staying on Fair Isle. More than just a remote accommodation in Shetland, the bird observatory plays a central role in island life, from shared meals and communal spaces to daily bird counts, research, and local gatherings. As one of the most important bird migration research centres in Europe, it’s also a welcoming base for visitors exploring remote Scottish islands. Join me as I share about life on Fair Isle, revealing how an isolated community in the middle of the North Sea between Shetland and Orkney, can feel surprisingly warm, social, and memorable and why Fair Isle in Shetland is one of the most unique places to stay in the UK. 🐦 Fair Isle Bird Observatory: https://www.fairislebirdobs.co.uk/ 🧶 Marie's Knitting Holidays: https://www.fairislewithmarie.com/ 🍿 WATCH NEXT: ONE WEEK KNITTING ON FAIR ISLE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szgQeXj6FpE&t=30s FLIGHT TO FAIR ISLE: https://youtu.be/louqg0jg9kI?si=KJfZAwBa67Ks80tA VISITING THE UK'S MOST REMOTE INHABITED ISLAND: https://youtu.be/0qkQxqKl-pQ?si=_7Jq3MmLxFcLvcCp SHETLAND ISLANDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92eIJSKrtWA&t=105s&pp=ygUQU0hFVExBTkQgSVNMQU5EUw%3D%3D ORKNEY ISLANDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mdqewBUnKM&t=2s EXTRA CONTENT ON PATREON: 🎬 Get access to exclusive uncut and bonus videos, behind-the-scenes content and sneak peeks into future projects - https://www.patreon.com/ruthaisling 🚌 My Scotland Group Trips: https://ruthaisling.com/group-trips/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 My Scotland Google Map: https://geni.us/L7sek2P 💌 Free Scotland Travel Guide: https://ruthaisling.com MY OTHER SOCIALS: 📸 INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/ruthaisling 🎥 FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/ruthaisling 📱 TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@ruth.aisling 🌍 WEBSITE - https://ruthaisling.com MY FAVOURITE TOOLS & GEAR: 🚽 Trelino - The best van toilet (Use code RUTHAISLING for a discount or gift): https://geni.us/lC0UmdH 🔋 Bluetti - My favourite van portable batteries (Use code BLUETTIRA for 5% discount): https://geni.us/ewxrm1v 🎵 Epidemic Sound - Music in my videos: https://geni.us/a1Qq WHO AM I? If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that! P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.
