Visiting The Most Remote Village In Mainland Britain | Knoydart

I visited the most remote village in mainland Britain. Located on a peninsula in the Scottish Highlands, the village of Inverie on the Knoydart Peninsula is known for its isolation.

There are no roads connecting Inverie to the rest of Scotland. The only way to reach this village is by hiking approximately 15 miles through the last wilderness of Britain or by taking a boat across 7 miles of sea. In the last video, I shared my experience of hiking in Knoydart to reach Inverie, one of the UK's most remote villages.

In this video, I explore this remote Scottish village which is community-owned by the Knoydart Foundation. I end my time in Inverie by visiting the Old Forge Pub, the most remote pub in the UK!

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.

On Patreon, I tend to share early access to the videos before they are posted here on YouTube. I also share longer and uncut versions of some of my videos and occasional bonus videos! I usually film videos 4-6 weeks in advance but on Patreon you'll know what projects I'm working on weeks before I share the videos here on YouTube.

You'll also get access to my Scotland Google Map which has 200+ pins of places I've visited and recommend in Scotland.

However you’d like to support the channel, whether through Patreon or by watching and subscribing on YouTube, I’d like to thank you for supporting my work! ❤

Hi Ruth: I am designating you as Scotland's Tourism and History Ambassador. I have learned more about your amazing Scotland through your wonderful videos than by watching any documentaries or reading any books. You are my one stop shopping for this beautiful place you call home. Be safe.

husband speaking age 81 Ruth, I was camping at our resort near the Canadian Boarder and using my wife's I-phone and found this video. I needed to
find your story on my PC so I could comment and give a very big LIKE. Thanks for the tired feet at the end of this hike.

Alba go brea, san Gaelige na h'Eireann. The best time I ever had in my life was touring the highlands all on my own, pitching a tent wherever I wanted, bothering nobody. I love those lands so much.

[sherelynwhite]

I love it...a church that has been converted into a brewery!😅 Now that's my kind of community! Thanks for the tour-about Ruth! Love your videos!😘

Randy from California says, "Another great video!"

[mckillop]

I moved to Canada 1 year ago this month from Scotland and I have to say your videos really feel like they keep me in touch with home which I miss desperately. You're braver than I when it comes to solo travelling, I hope you make many more videos as reading the comments they're clearly loved by many.

[nedkelly]

Had the best fish and chips on Knoydart, in shack. Bring your own bottle.. also a fabulous restaurant with the most delicious seafood, Inverie. We were very grateful for the village shop and it’s honesty box.

Great video. Been to Knoydart twice, both times stayed on the campsite at Inverie. First time was in a heatwave, the second time was last October, waking up to the sounds of stags bellowing, the waves and oystercatchers calling. And late enough in the year to avoid the midges! Magic place. Hiked up sgurr coire chonnichean, the corbett that you see behind the campsite as well. The old forge has had a major upgrade as well, sometime last year. They didn't serve food before that, lots of venison dishes as expected, all absolutely superb.

I like the idea of the little retirement blockhouse -- I could retire there and handle hanging out at the pub most days!!!!

The colors are absolutely popping in this one! What a fantastic scenic location.
