I asked a man in Fort Willam about the rain, his reply was if it's raining in Scotland it's raining in Fort William lol

Hi Erik,
Fantasic pics. My first trip to Scotland was this past Spetember and these pictures bring it all right back. I am coordinating a kilted tour of Scotland through a travel client of mine for purely selfish reasons...so I can get back! I hope you enjoyed it thoroughly. Did you go with a group?

I really enjoyed it a trip of a lifetime

I always wanted to visit Scotland, it will be a while till I can go back, I sold just about everything I had to go.

Next time I will go forsure with a group, and get to see more places I hope.

We also went to Dublin Ireland and London, I had some trouble there and ran out of money. but that just makes more of an exciting story I guess.

Bad thing the night before our flight we went out in Chicago and got locked out of the car parking place, and had to sleep on the steets.

Yes, Fort William is one of the wettest places in Scotland but its a great place and I try to go there at least once a year.
Haste ye back and be sure to arrange to meet up with some of us Scottish based xmarkers next time.
