🐻 Are there bears in Scotland?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Answering all the questions you have about Scotland...

One of the things I’m going to do as a series of Dreaming of Scotland, both on the YouTube channel and in the blog, is answer some of the top Googled questions people have about Scotland.

Some of these things might be basic, but they are always curious things that people genuinely want to know.

And our goal with Dreaming of Scotland is to be genuinely helpful. As well as Google questions, I’m also asking the audience for their questions… so ask away!

To start, here we have a go at answering one specific question that is surprisingly common on Google.

Are there bears in Scotland?

The answer is both yes and no.

We have a stab at answering both in this blog post, and our latest video on YouTube. (below):

Calming scenes from Scotland

For many years, I’ve spoken about anxiety and how it has impacted me. Thankfully, in recent years I’ve had it under control.

Nonetheless, like everyone I still have sleepless nights.

One of the things that helps me is having distracting, calming content that doesn’t require too much emotional investment.

I like watching walking videos - where people go through city or nature scenes. These videos can go on the TV in the background, or on the phone next to my in bed.

They are usually both visually, but also audibly calming.

I started recording my very own calming scenes a few years ago on my Ambient Adventures channel. I record these scenes in 4k, but also using Binaural audio devices.

That means it’s recorded in a way that allows the viewer/listener to hear as if they were in the scene in person… especially if they listen using headphones.

My latest video on this channel is out now, and is a walk along my local beach.

And many of the videos on the Ambient Adventures channel will be recorded in and around my home in Scotland.

Is this type of content you watch to help you relax?

Thanks for reading.
