Scotland, in pictures. (Obviously).

Evening all, just on my way back from 10 days in Scotland, a realm almost totally devoid of any internet connection.....

Had a great time, although the weather was 50/50 all the time, raining one day, sunny the next.

Just a quick pic of the lodge we stayed at, a great little place overlooking Loch Earn:

Very limited jet activity this year Mic, last time I was there the Tornado's & Hawk's were frequent visitors along the loch, but I think the Tornado crash not long ago has affected things. Apparently the jet that crashed had been down through Loch Earn about 5 minutes before the crash. Very sad.

Ah, Scotland... another place I've always wanted to visit. These pictures show why!

Not a bad ride, either ;)

I've seen the Falkirk Wheel. It's massive. A great piece of engineering.
