Once there, our number swelled to a splendid eleven. Mine host at The Cavens had obviously tried to overfeed some of us who were, perhaps keen to get drinking:

The rabble leaves the Cavens Arms ...............

.............. and then The New Bazaar .............

and then heads off for The Coach and Horses

An unscheduled stop was made at a pub (whose name I forget, if ever I saw or heard it!) en route to The Globe.
At The Globe:"I already have one, thanks .......... but, if you insist!"

Can anyone else drink simultaneously from two glasses? No? Nor can I!!!

High jinks outside The Globe, our last port of call before going off to find our respective beds for the night.

Next morning, Sunday 8th June, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after another of Robertson's superb breakfasts, we pose for a final group shot. Shortly after this, Niall was heading back to Edinburgh whilst Jim and I set off for the 400 mile drive back to England's southern counties, leaving Robertson, Emma and the dugs to pick up the pieces!
What a week we had! Jim and I so appreciated the warm welcomes we received, the wonderful folks we met, the new friendships we formed - and that especial something that makes Scotland such an incredibly unique place. Thank you everyone, and thank you Scotland.
Take care,
Ham.
