Scotland trip

[Paul Farquhar]

Oh ... We'll be there for a month. I'm guessing four or five days in an Edinburgh base. Four in skye. Four in Inverness. We will golf in machirinish area for two days. Near Aberdeen, though likely a smaller town three or four days.

You need to be careful round Aberdeen, that’s where the Farquhars come from and they are a dodgy bunch.

If you make it to Skye, way on the north western edge there's Castle MacLeod. It has a very nice garden.

Probably not worth driving all the way there just for that. But we stayed with a very nice lady who lived at the Northwest point of Skye, and that was an attraction that was relatively close.

I think you mean Dunvegan Castle, the seat of the MacLeod of MacLeod. I visited there in the Summer of 1987. At that season and latitude, the sun is up almost all day, just dipping below the horizon around midnight. Great for taking walks through the countryside, but watch out for the herds of sheep blocking the road!

ETA: On the same trip, I have fond memories of our stay at an inn in Inverarnan on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. I'm not sure if it was The Drovers Inn, but it looked like the pictures and came complete with a kilted barman who made us breakfast in the morning.
