Greetings from Bonny Scotland! We are in the Highlands for 2 weeks. Toured Orkney yesterday. Will bag a couple munros while here. We have free pass to tour some distilleries if we have a rainy day, but so far weather has been fabulous! We are in Loch Brora this week, off to cottage near Glencoe next week. Living my life-long dream. After this I can throw away my bucket list.

Great, enjoy yourself. Know your Brothers of the Confederacy have dedicated a new monument to the Unknown Confederate Dead in Alabama. Complete with re-en-actors and a four gun salute. No counter demonstrators. |

We arrived in Aberdeen 8/30, then went to Newtonmore, Fort William and on to Glasgow, then on to Ireland.
Hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did.

Great to hear you were in Bonny Scotland also coyote. We flew to Glasgow, spent the night, then to Loch Brora on east coast for 7 days. We travelled all over eastern Highlands and Orkney, then another full week at Kentallen on west coast, (about 30 miles south of Fort William) spent time at Glencoe, Hiked part of West Highland Way, drove all over Isle of Mull, attended a couple Caleighs, toured several distilleries, took several boats rides on Lochs, many ferries to offshore islands, one last night on the town in Glasgow and (regretfully) back home. 16 of the best days of our 50 year marriage! We contracted a driver and tour guide who made this all happen. Turned out he was less expensive than joining a tour company, plus he had loads of knowledge of area and a really fun Scot!
