can't believe it's been almost 3 years already!

Will be up again for 5 days in April - any good suggestions? I am thinking of currently getting a short-let house as a base and take day trips (will hire a car). I guess around that ballachulish/glencoe area might be convenient, but not sure appreciate any tips!

maybe it's time for mull?

been living away from scotland for 3 years now, going back for a couple weeks in september. going to skye for the first time for a long weekend. really looking forward to it.

not jingoistic enough to contend that the highlands and western islands are the most beautiful place on earth - in fact i absolutely adore the pacific northwest and am amazed by the grandeur and sheer scale of some of the landscape here - but there's just something about them that i can't get enough of.

I had a cracking weekend in Skye earlier this year at friends' wedding in Isleornsay. Lots of lovely driving about looking at hills and that (also llamas! though they were on the mainland somewhere near the Kintail end of Loch Duich). It's great.

back again in August! Probably should visit new bits. Likely Kinghorn will feature. Suggestions welcome!

I've done more than a few bothy supported walks, two of the more memorable ones were glenfinnan to knoydart, and one to peanmeanach beach - not a long walk but we did it at one am on a moonless night with no torches!

Kinghorm, well the east neuk of fife - pittenweem, anstruther, isle of may nature reserve, st andrews. note: despite spending four years in st andrews i've never been to any of those others!
