My First Scottish Highlands Autumn in My New Hometown |

I left America and moved to the Far North of Scotland. Every story you've heard about how beautiful the Scottish Highlands are in autumn is true. This is my first year experiencing it as an American expat now living in Scotland.

Video Chapters:

In this episode we also revisit a local clothing business, By Sea By Land, showcasing their hoodies. We also visit the parking lot of Ben Hope, Scotland's northernmost munro, and we get a kitty cameo from Annabelle. We also devote quite a bit of time to an important discussion topic: does moving to the Scottish Highlands automatically make someone a Highlander? And we run into one of my neighbors, Lizzie Costin, doing a photo shoot for Dunrobin Gin at Big Burn.

For the cinephiles: this video was filmed with a Canon R50 in 16mm with ND filter. With the Canon, I shoot 8-bit Rec. 709. No filming in log, no LUTs. Audio captured with wireless Rode lav mics. Background music courtesy of Artlist. Edited in Adobe Premiere. Maybe I'll start up a Patreon or something so I can afford better equipment, but hey, this is what I've got right now, so hopefully you enjoy it.
