Behind the Scenes Tour of Scotland’s Marine Research Centre | Solo Sailing in Scotland 🌊

Surprise bonus video (and maybe the most exciting one yet!) 💙 I’ve spent so much time out on the water this summer that I’ve found myself thinking more and more about the ocean, and how little I actually know about it. So, I spent a day at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) to learn more about the incredible work being done to understand and protect our ocean. From seagrass science and marine robotics to tiny ocean organisms, I got a behind-the-scenes look at some of the brilliant work happening right here in Scotland - and I’m SO excited to share this with you!!! I’m also putting 10% of the profits from my YouTube videos towards marine conservation projects across Scotland, and my very first donation went straight to SAMS 💙 This one took many, many hours to put together, so if you enjoy it, I’d really appreciate you sharing it with a friend who might find it interesting too. I’d love for this video to reach as many people as possible! ⛵ BECOME A PATREON: Join me on Patreon for extra behind-the-scenes content, uncut sailing videos, sneak peeks of upcoming adventures, and a closer look at life aboard Enya:https://www.patreon.com/c/_kayleighbrown 🍿 WATCH NEXT: MY FIRST SOLO SAIL (AUSTRALIA): https://youtu.be/AOeVM_hZEuI?si=pdIG6h6Md862Bmbh 1000KM OF SOLO BIKE-PACKING: https://youtu.be/lJDS4WUS-F0?si=TtEFNyPF9MtrHCD6 WE CYCLED THE LENGTH OF NEW ZEALAND:https://youtu.be/iEWj6Kcl_NM?si=77ggYVzpBmNQw_m8 MY OTHER SOCIALS: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_kayleighbrown/ 📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kayleighjeanbrown/ 🎥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kayleighjeanbrown/ WHO AM I? 👋 If we haven’t met before… hi, I’m Kayleigh. After living overseas for nearly 10 years, I recently returned home to Scotland and bought a 26ft sailboat to explore the islands and coastline. Through my videos, I share stories from the sea with the hope of inspiring others to get outdoors, connect with nature, and set off on their own adventures. WITH THANKS: A huge thank you to Pantaenius and Wild Earth for supporting this channel. Pantaenius has given me peace of mind every time I head out on the water, and Wild Earth’s gear has kept me warm, dry, and comfortable through some pretty cold Scottish sailing! 0:00 - Using Youtube to Fund Marine Science 1:11 - Welcome to SAMS 1:56 - SAMS Aquarium & Seagrass Science 4:10 - Robotics Lab & Scottish Marine Robotics Facility (SMRF) 8:55 - Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa (CCAP) 12:40 - Ocean Explorer Centre (OEC) / STEM / Education 14:12 - SIMBA Lab 15:18 - Please Donate Thanks so much for watching 💙 KB 🙂 #SoloSailing #SailingScotland #BoatLife #SinglehandedSailing #SailingVlog
