I have decided to answer the call of Jihad

Right you, just how close to Dundee are you likely to get? And remember the A9 is shite!! And not even dual for loads of it!

Not close enough probably. Heading to Falkirk tomorrow afternoon. Then on to Strafpeffer on Saturday morning. Then it's a bit of a mystery for a week until Saturday where I'll be heading to Holy Island before coming home Sunday

Any inside info on Invergordon?

Don't call it Invergeddon, or the local Scots jihadists will think you're taking the piss.

When I wake up..

Nearly collapsed last time I was in there, over 8 quid for 2 drinks!

Christ, don't move to the South East/ East Anglia. You won't last 5 minutes.

 

[heinous seamus]

Haha yeah but I expect to pay those prices in Edinburgh / London etc. Not in bloody Falkirk though

Well I have to say that once again I am totally in Love with Scotland and it's lovely people. From my base in Garve (Not far from Dingwall) I spent a fair bit of time skirmishing around the Black Isle. I can definitely recommend a visit to the Black Isle Brewery to anyone who wanders up that way. The coastline around the Black Isle is just gobsmackingly wonderful.

It was interesting to see all the Yes/No graffiti and banners all over the place and indeed talk to Scots folk about the pros and cons. It's amazing how ignorant we are in Ingerland as to how much of a quandary the whole process presents Scotland with. I've been north of the border many times before but this area of the Highlands was new to me. I met some lovely locals. Warm hearted people who seem to be living life at a much better pace

I quite liked Inverness. I've only seen the bus station and the train station before but I spent a day wandering around this time.

I did a mahoosive drive to the Kyle of Lochalsh and then drove back along the Great Glen and took in Glen Affric. What a beautiful place that is.

I caught my first wild trout on the River Blackwater.

Ah well sat back at home now wishing I was back in the Highlands.

Scotland I love you

I stayed 1 night at the Antonine hotel in central Falkirk about 10 years ago. When I entered the room they'd given me there was a porn mag open on the table, and when I opened up the wardrobe there was someone else's clothes hanging up in there. Highly recommended!

I didnae see much of Fawkirk in the end as the travelodge had a boozer right next door to it. I loved the two big horses heeds on the main road in though
