Day in my life in the Scottish Highlands: Welcoming Autumn with Gaelic song 🍂🤎

Hello, I’m Caroline, I live in the Isle of Skye and welcome to my Youtube channel.

It’s starting to really feel like autumn on the island now, and going to see Sian in concert really solidified this! Their gorgeous vocals sang in Scotland’s native language, Gàidhlig, is the kind of thing that makes the hairs on your arms stand up.

Thanks for watching!

We have a pulley “sheilamaid”, it hangs above the rayburn and everything is dried by the morning. Definitely cheaper than running a tumble dryer!

Born and raised in the US, living in Phoenix, Arizona. I am lucky enough to have a laundry room with a washer and dryer. But I absolutely love your cozy home!

Just discovered you & loving watching non stop! I’m from Wilmington North Carolina. Never heard of a pulley before-great idea. I have a dryer & haging out clothes is not allowed where we live! ☹

Huge cudos and thank yous for showing that pup training/renforcement is a constant task. Its good for the doggos and the humans! ❤

Love your videos, Caroline!
I’m from the southern United States and my grandma had a pulley (but she also didn’t have indoor plumbing until 1970 so she’s a special case). Lots of clothes lines here year round though! (Reminder for those in UK that the high in the summer here is around 40C and the low is only -6C so not much need for the pulleys in general since it’s so hot).
Thanks for sharing your life, your beautiful home, and the stunning views of Skye. ❤

Hello from Florida USA. We have a laundry room with a "tumble" dryer but I do have a wall-mounted drying rack. I hang all my clothes to dry. My husband uses the tumble dryer for his clothes and underwear and we use it for towels, sheets, etc. I have mostly English and Scottish DNA so I have really enjoyed seeing Scotland through your channel.

Love these vlogs! ❤
Northern England, seen plenty of pullies!

Loved this video, Caroline! I'm originally from Liverpool, UK but have been living in France for the past ten years. Recently moved from Paris to Montpellier in the south where the weather is mostly sunny with blue skies (but it does get super windy) so we mostly dry our clothes on the line in the garden but our washing machine is in the kitchen too! Love your pulley so much and hope to have one if our dream of buying a house in the Dordogne comes true! 🤞🤞

So thankful for your chat about Nuala! I have a golden retriever who also gets to a point of hyper stimulation that it can very hard to get her to listen to us or even respond to high value treats and when it happens you can feel like such a bad owner but in reality it's just the hard parts of owning a dog sometimes despite trying your best!

It’s funny when you talk about the switch in your collie’s head. We have a rescue corgi/Australian Shepard mix and she has the same thing. She’s very much different from our corgis. Our others I trained and are fairly predictable but our Lola is not. We noticed that we have to put the toys up or after a while she gets this crazed lazer focus on the ball where there is no getting through. Must be a herding instinct. ❤

My childhood home was a Victorian house in Yorkshire and we also had a pulley in the kitchen!

I have seen pulleys when I lived in Scotland but I have a tumble dryer here in California (for the record, I’d gladly trade the tumble dryer to be able to move back to Scotland.)

I’m from Sydney but live Brisbane, Australia. I stayed with my bestie in Edinburgh and they had an awesome large pulley in the kitchen with super high ceiling . We have inside washing lines in the garage & then a hills hoist outside. We do have a dryer when it’s Summer rain (monsoon season) as it’s so wet inside as well things don’t dry. Loved the concert !

Hello from the shores of Lake Superior in Canada. I love putting my washing out on the clothesline to dry, but we personally don’t use it in the long Canadian winters (except for freshening up our blankets and bedding). Some folks do, and I know my grandmother always used her outdoor clothesline in the winters. Our new house does not yet have one but it’s on my list of yard improvement projects. However I think I would like one of your pulley systems for hanging ironed quilting fabric in my sewing room.

Thank you for introducing Sian, voices of angels 😍

[rachelturner]

My granny had a laundry pulley and I always thought it was so cool. I would love one when I own my own home!

[kirstytay]

Nuala becoming overstimulated sounds just like my collie, Cookie, who is the same. I have to watch her around fast moving things and kids! 😂. I love A-nochd a' Chiad Oidhche 'n Fhoghair and also Air Fàir an Là especially! Such beautiful voices 😍 My granny had a pulley in her farmhouse kitchen in Ireland and my sheepdog trainer in Northern England did too. Great little invention!

[lizzieandthedairylife]

Ahh loved this, the concert looks great! (Love a pulley as well! 👍🏻) 😍 Based in Castle Douglas D&G 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi I’m from NYC and love your vlogs. You’ve introduced me the pully. The washer and dryer here is located in the basement. I do want to pull away from using the dryer, though.

[heidiglasgow]

Caroline I swear I love your vlogs mostly because you're so proudly scottish and proud and promote local businesses 🩵. I have had a "pully" twice, first as a kid in westend of Glasgow in tenament flat amd secondly in a flat in my 30s .. love them I do have a tumble dryer now but grudge using it
Hopw you have an amazing week and can't wait for next video! 🥳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎉
