Weather kept us from making the Oban ferry trip but I visited many of the same places along about Spring 2003 -- thanks for the memories! Not positive that we hit the same crystal outlet but sounds like it, I treasure my pieces etched with Mackintosh designs. And my mother walks with a stick found in that lovely Pitlochry establishment. Hoping to return. . . someday. . . and introduce Bob to the pleasures of UK travel (Sydnie 5, Bob 0).
