Your trip to Scotland, particularly the Loch Lomond area, might be more interesting if you stay at the Drovers Inn, Inverarnan, on the north shore of Loch Lomond. This is a typical old-fashioned pub, totally unmodernised (apart from essentials like hot water and bathrooms) and where the 2 barmen wear kilts. Their web site is theinnonlochlomond.com.

If you will post on this site your travel plans no doubt some of the UKbased XMarks members will join you ( me included hopefully).

I'm waiting to see if Raphael and company have The Gathering part 2 in Van.
Bear said it was a hoot, couldn't make it myself.
A fiend from Alaska that I was in Ireland with last month wants to come down and explore the jewel on the west coast of BC, she's nuts too.

Well now if Drumadrochit is the rest stop and a trip to Culloden is in the planning, I may just have to fly over and meet you guys. I am hoping to get back over to Scotland in 2006 so this could be a good excuse (like I need one). I was planning on doing a lot of the Highlands (Rossshire, Inverness, Skye, maybe the islands) so a few days in and around Loch Ness is good. One question though, won't August be the most expensive time to visit? After all the Tattoo is in August.

Bear in mind this all depends on finaces as it is an expensive trip. Of course if I give up smoking it should not be a huge problem. Count me as a maybe for now and keep me up to date on any plans. I too would be a backpacker and likely looking for hostels.

A word of warning here. When we were originally seeing what interest there was for the Gathering that was here last August, we had a lot of people that were very interested, and "wouldn't miss it for the world". Unfortunately life, money, and a long planning time happen, and a lot less people were able to attend. So while excitement is good and usually high, take it with a grain of salt and do a head count closer to the time when you need actual numbers.
