Bonnie Scotland

I like a drop of Scotch and will readily acknowledge that the main ingredient is water so having just returned from Scotland can confirm that supplies of the amber liquid should continue unchecked for the foreseeable future. Whether they really need quite as much rain as we saw is another thing. The rain and clouds continued almost unabated during our time there.

We had two nights on the west coast on the way up, staying near Onich before journeying on to Skye where we stayed for one night only; the forecast there was truly dire and it is the only time I have pitched a caravan and had to have it tied down! We quickly moved south but the weather was no better at Killin and after a few nights there we gave up and journeyed the nearly 400 miles south to home in one tough leg which we had to do quite slowly due to ferocious winds blowing us about on the motorway.

Will I go back? Undoubtedly, the countryside and coast is stunning and with the right light it is a magical landscape. For now however the next trip is off to our beloved Norfolk.

I did at lest manage a few pictures during the brief intervals of light so not all was lost.
