    I'll be over that way for approximately 2 weeks, including the days of the Gathering!

    Much as it would be lovely to be there I cannot help feeling that it's being held to make money first and foremost with all these expensive passports etc.

    So I will give it a wide berth and look at all the photos taken by those who do attend.

    I agree with McClef that it smells like what we tactful Americans call a "Tourist Trap". If I get to Scotland next Summer it won't be to pay those prices. Anyway, I expect the highlights to appear on Youtube within a week.

    Would love to go. Haven't been to Mull since the 50's. Last time across the border and into Edinboro was in 1996. Unfortunately the economic situation reduced the travel fund by far too much. So those of you go, post lots of pictures.
