Great pictures! Are there more?! :worship:

I was lucky enough to be able to visit Skye a few years ago! The landscape is amazing! And I remember having a couple pints at a little pub in Portree. Can't remember the name of the place, but it was at the harbor, in the row of brightly colored buildings, and above the door, a sign read: "Harry Dick, Proprietor"

:lol:

The pictures from my trip are at my parents house, but I searched online for the Pier Hotel, and THATS IT!! My parents and I ran into gentleman from Germany, Herman the German HAHA, who was cycling all over Europe, and he was passing through Portree when we were. Amazing stories that he told... some of which we could barely understand :lol:

Wow! I need to sell the Scuttlebutt just so I can go visit Scotland again!!! :cry:

Hi Graeme, your tear is looking fantastic and your road trip pics are great especially the ones of the Cuillins. My wife hired a guide to take me up the In Pin for my 50th birthday. Unfortunately she hired him over the phone and didnt know that he was only 4 ft and to small to push me off. Quick question are you the guy that has the place by Carluke who renovates Morris cars? Looking good,Evan.

Hi Evan.
I'm not the man in Carluke.He is semi retired now.I just love moggies,now that i have three :)
The pod is stored at my folks place in Motherwell for the moment.
I have some small tweeks to do before the next season.
I think we will be heading to the Black Isle to look for dolphins,and maybe another go at getting to Cape Wrath(maybe someday the weather will be on our side).

Graeme.
