ABOUT ME & DOUGAL
I have been caravanning since I was knee-high to a jockey wheel, originally in a 1969 Thomson Glenmore. Nowadays you’ll find me with Dougal, my trusty dog, living the dream in a variety of leisure vehicles from budget camper vans to luxurious A-Class motorhomes, including our very own Compass Caravan towed by a cutting-edge Kia EV6 Battery Electric Vehicle. We tour the length and breadth of Europe on a year-round basis, but the emphasis is very much on Scotland and the beautiful Western Isles.
Recently I have been exploring the options for a more sustainable future, embracing and celebrating slow travel.
YouTube is my strongest platform, and I have been working hard to build one of the largest and most engaged audiences in the sector. In May 2022, the channel passed the 69,000-subscriber mark and had enjoyed over 16 million views.
In all that I do, from making videos to writing copy, I aim to inspire, entertain, and inform. Nothing is disingenuous and the content is real. An increasing number of organisations are realising the value of real content over sugar-coated marketing, as it is far more engaging and credible.
Engagement with the audience is crucial. This has led me to adopt a gentle, inspirational, and encouraging style. My authority comes from experience, and the message is simple: If I can do it, you probably can, too. The feedback I have received over the years has been humbling. From a GP wanting to prescribe my videos to patients with depression, to nervous solo travelers taking the plunge and setting off with a caravan on their first touring adventure, it never ceases to astonish me how one man and his dog can have such a profound effect on so many people. It is something I will never take for granted.
In 2002 I took a year out and traveled the world, mostly in a caravan, motorhome, or tent. Thereafter I lived for many years on the road, reaping the rewards and facing the many challenges that such an itinerant lifestyle brings. In January 2020 I realised my dream of moving to the Outer Hebrides, where Dougal and I now live a simple and happy life.
