Sorry lads, I have no hope of catching up with all the posts, paying the high price for net access in Scotland, it's all I can do to check email.
However, I can say that keyboards here have flippin small shift keys, and that we are safe and well. We hired a VW Golf and we're zooming around Scotland.
We spent time with David (Freelander), his lovely wife and kids in Inverness. We spent some time in town (David bought a lovely kilt jacket) before going to Culloden and walking around the filed together. Sorry I cannot post piccies for a while.
Now on Skye, it's a wonderful place, amazing mountians.
Being kilted is interesting....
On Orkney the response was dissappointing, but frankly, I found the locals quite unfriendly.
Skye is much the same, but friendlier. Tourists see me and want to take photos just as when they see a Scottish sheep or longhorn cow...they see me as an 'authentic bit of Scotland'.
Near Loch Ness I saw a guy casually kilted walking down the road, I shook his hand, later to find he worked in a fine Clan Centre. My wife said 'there, it's his uniform' :
Near a Skye Castle I met heaps of men in kilts, they were there for a clan gathering.
that's about all I've seen for now.
I have found the kilt a wonderful garment for travelling, hiking in Scotland (even in cold wet, windy weather). My wife is wearing jeans, and after getting caught in a storm she ended up with wet pants. |Me, in a kilt, felt fine
More later when I can, make sure no one overtakes my post record or I'll 'ave'em :-D ;) behave all!
