Hey, at least the Irish know how to pronounce it.

Daneel, thank you for the account of your trip. It sounded wonderful. I'd love to get back to Scotland someday (I haven't been for eighteen years), and hike the West Highland Way. Kilted, of course.

Andrew.

Welcome back, Daneel! So, you visited Balquhidder, eh? Did you by any chance visit the King's House Hotel whilst there? Some pals of mine use that for a gathering point before/after the annual Rob Roy commemoration.

As for the midgies, I suspect you would not have been considered out of order for taking cover. ;)

(Robert, I visited Cowal, about a month ago. Made the trek to see the Toward Castle ruins and have never been so moved in my life. Absolutely a must-see, no question. Spent a wonderful evening in the Lamont Room at the Abbots Brae Hotel and would recommend that highly, as well.)

Mike !
As soon as my rich uncle gets out the poor house and sends the check, my wife and I shall make that same journey. In the mean time I guess reading and pictures will have to do.
I am currently reading "The Lamont Clan history 1235 to 1935".
