Scotland Holiday 2018 Day 8 : 19th June 2018 Mull and Iona
After a day on the water it was back to the roads but we did have a very short trip later in the day from Fionnphort to Iona. First though there was a long road trip and you don’t get anywhere fast on Mull! But what a grea day out lay ahead and one you

Scotland Holiday 2018 Day 6 : 18th June 2018 Mull and Lunga
One of the most exciting visits to bird colonies must surely involve the visit to Lunga, one of the several islands that make up the Treshnish Islands.

Scotland Holiday Day 5 : 17th June 2018 Around Mull
Since my little accident at Gatehouse of Fleet on the first day of our holiday, my leg had been getting worse and worse. A big lump had appeared on my right knee and my right leg was black and blue and green and yellow all the way down to the ankle. We weren’t sure of

Scotland Holiday Day 2 : 14th June 2018 Dumfries to Loch Lomond
Our plan after leaving Gatehouse of Fleet was to drive up to Lauriston – taking the scenic route – northwards and take our time getting to Balmaha on the banks of Loch Lomond (cue song) but our plans were somewhat altered by events. The road to Lauriston was delightful and led (to our surprise) over

Scotland Holiday Day 1 : Dumfries 13th June 2018
The first stage of our holiday, planned to take in a week on Mull as well as several other locations on the way to and from there, was a drive from Manchester to Dumfries where we stopped off at WWT Caerlaverock and also, a new site for us, at RSPB Mersehead.
