WHAT!?

The longest circumnavigation yacht race in the world. 🌍⛵

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race covers more than 40,000 nautical miles over 11 months, taking crews across the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans.

The fleet is made up of identical 70-foot ocean racing yachts, each led by a professional skipper. What's incredible is that many of the crew started with little or no sailing experience before completing intensive training.

The race has arrived in Oban on Scotland’s west coast for only the second time ever, and I was lucky enough to step aboard one of the yachts and head out for a sail. What an experience!

On Sunday, the fleet sets off on its final leg to Portsmouth, where the race will finish after beginning there last August. What an incredible journey.

Before visiting the USA, I’ll admit I was slightly nervous. Like many people outside America, I’d seen plenty of international news, but I wanted to experience the country for myself rather than judge it through the headlines. So I travelled to Boston, Massachusetts, to see what it was really like.

In this USA travel video, my brother Hugh and I explore some of the best things to do in Boston, from the Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill and Boston Common to the city’s historic waterfront. Along the way, I share my honest first impressions of America, try iconic Boston food like lobster roll and clam chowder, and discover why this historic city completely exceeded my expectations.

Although I originally travelled to America to follow Scotland at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, this series is about much more than football. If you’re planning a trip to Boston, searching for a USA travel guide, or simply curious about what America is really like from a Scottish perspective, I hope this video inspires you to see it with an open mind.

In the next episode, my brother and I rent a huge RV and set off on a 1,600-mile road trip from Boston to Miami… but things don’t exactly go to plan.

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!

When most people think of the Scottish islands, they picture remote places like the Outer Hebrides, Shetland or Orkney. But this time I’m visiting an island that’s much easier to reach. Just a short CalMac ferry ride from the mainland lies the Isle of Bute, an island that was once named Scotland’s Best Place to Live.

In this Isle of Bute travel guide, I spend two days exploring some of the best things to do on the Isle of Bute, from Rothesay Castle and the beautiful Victorian Fernery to hidden beaches, ancient ruins and the spectacular Mount Stuart House. Along the way I explore Rothesay, attempt to drive the island’s famously winding road and discover why so many people fall in love with this beautiful corner of Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

If you’re wondering how to get to the Isle of Bute, looking for a day trip from Glasgow, planning a Scotland road trip, or searching for places to visit in Scotland beyond the usual tourist trail, I hope this Scotland travel vlog inspires you to add Rothesay and the Isle of Bute to your travel list.

Over the last few months, I have been working together with one of my favourite distilleries in Scotland to launch my very own whisky and I am so excited to share that it is finally ready!

In this video, you can watch the entire process of how we found the perfect whisky!

This video will be shared publicly on YouTube on Sunday 14th June at 6pm UK time, but here on Patreon I have organised early access to buy the whisky if anyone would like a bottle.

You can access the web page here: https://rmwlink.co/Ruth

Shipping for the whisky will be starting after 17th June!
