    Did anyone catch this episode last night? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...to_Glenfinnan/ . Apart from the stunning scenery Michael Portillo has a meeting with Cameron of Lochiel.

    Thanks Phil, I have missed all these. Yes the journey from Glasgow to Mallaig is reputed to be one of the finest train journeys in the world. Fast? No! Comfortable? Humm. History? Lots of it. Fantastic scenery? Oh yes!

    I am a lucky chap, to see it almost every day!

    I have just looked at and enjoyed three of the programs, basically from Glasgow, via Oban to Glenfinnan. Yes folks, the West Highlands are just like the program shows-----apart from not showing the rain,wind, mist and midges! From what I could see and I might have missed a couple, there was only one kilt on show, Lochiel's. Nothing new there then!

    Thanks for that Phil. My favourite part of the world. Nice to see Lochiel with whom I have just been corresponding over the Cameron of Erracht tartan. A thoroughly decent chap whom I am proud to have as my Chief.

    Jock - yet again I am more envious of the fact that you live in such a beautiful place, Without being too morbid, I have already given my instructions to my OH where my ashes are to be scattered, so tread carefully at the foreshore of Loch Shiel it may be me you are standing on.
