Simply send the return flight tickets in the post, guarantee Neals attendance and I'll be over within 48 hours.

Flew into Edinburgh on the 5th of July, drove to Oban via stops for Bannockburn and Stirling Castle,then through the Lomond and Trussocks national park, then up to Inverness via Fort William, Fort Augustus, a cruise on Loch Ness then a quick visit to Urquhart Castle.
After the night in Inverness Castle visited Culloden before driving via a few distilleries to Stonehaven where we stayed at the Ship Inn right on the harbour. Visited Dunottar Castle. Then back to Edinburgh for a couple of nights visiting Edinburgh Castle, the auld town and a few of the sights in the area then flew back to Arranged on the 10th.

For some reason no more photos got taken that day. Must have been the scotch mist.

Great pics, really must venture further north of the border and back to the homeland one day.

He only does it on standard gauge, not a road.

Lucky for you that I'm interested in Rome as well

Did you take pictures of all the penis decorations in Pompeii? There are a lot of those. The place didn't have 44 brothels for nothing.
