    aye... Emma calls it a 'whin bush'...

    Thanx for great slide show, P1M! Amazing scenery... my wife and I quite enjoyed it with our morning coffee. I marvel at the internet and related technology and how it allows people to share things like this almost instantly.

    Just one more thread with photo's that tell me I need to get over there. Let's see, if I don't paint the house, don't replace the furnace and don't get the basement floor leveled I should have enough $ for the trip. Oops, wait a minute, need to get my wife a ticke too.

    Stunning pics P1M, thanks for the tour.

    We have Gorse here in Oregon. Sometimes they call it Scotch Broom. It tends to be invasive, but it's still pretty in the spring.

    Very nice pics. Now I've added another stop on next year's trip. I'm beginning to think we're going to have to stay a month!

    Greta photos pour1malt, looks like you had a lovely trip. Nice part of the country to visit - I flew into Castle Kennedy airfield, on the outskirts of Stranraer a couple of times last year (my late father was stationed there during the war).
