I love exploring lesser discovered places and today I’ll be travelling the Scotland tourists don’t go. As most visitors to Scotland flock to the Highlands or The Isle of Skye, the Kintyre Peninsula located on Scotland’s west coast is a beautiful and much quieter alternative.

Campbeltown in Kintyre, Scotland was once home to the whisky capital of the world and in this Scotland vlog I’ll be taking you on a road trip around the stunning The Kintyre Peninsula. I only found about the Kintyre 66 driving route after my trip, which I totally recommend if you do plan a visit.

Some other highlights of my time on the Kintyre Peninsula, include a visit to Tarbert, the Skippness Seafood Cabin and the Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse. You'll probably recognise the Mull of Kintyre from that classic Paul McCartney song.

Stay tuned for my next video where I’ll be visiting the communityowned Isle of Gigha – a oneofakind spot in Argyll and Bute.

WHO AM I?
I'm Ruth and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland. I moved overseas in 2011 and I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in my home country Scotland and I’ve never even visited places like the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Skye or the NC500.

I am a huge fan of campervan travel and alternative living and while living in Japan, my partner and I converted both a van and a bus into campervans. We explored Japan extensively, sharing our adventures on our two Japanese language YouTube channels. I've spent over 600 nights living in vans, it’s my favourite way to travel due to the incredible freedom, adventure and the affordability.

My campervan is a 2001 Toyota Hiace high roof van. It was originally used by the Royal Mail and then purchased by the previous owner and selfconverted into a DIY campervan. Although the van is already converted, in order for it to be an offgrid living van, it requires some campervan DIY, especially when it comes to electrics and plumbing.

On this channel, I’ll be sharing more about this van, any DIY I do, and most importantly sharing my road trip adventures as I finally get to travel my beautiful home country of…. SCOTLAND!
