[GardenKit]

thanks BJ.

 

We are giving Glasgow a miss , so I guess we won't have too much trouble from midgets either:biggrin:

You should try and visit Glasgow if your in Scotland, some of the best architecture in Europe. A lot of people bypass Glasgow when they visit Scotland which is a pity as there's a lot to see. Give us shout if you want a quick tour.

Thanks scotspine, I must admit to having preconceived ideas of Glasgow being a dump full of 'buckies' addicts ( those devon monks have something to answer for) but I am not sure where these ideas came from. and I am sure they are wrong.

 

However, we are not really into architecture, but would rather spend our limited time in the highlands.

Not long back Glasgow was voted one of the best shopping cities in the UK.

But you're better coming up to look at the scenery and save the shopping for Jonesies online ;-)

Thanks for the tip Jim, but there is not much I want from Jonesies online, I do buy some of my stock from them 'trade' though:biggrin:

If you get the chance try and visit Torridon and Loch Maree then. Epic places.....unless it's cloudy, raining and misty, which it probably will be

If your going to be in Ullapool at the end of September there is a music festival on called loopallu... If your into that sort of thing?

 

Google search loopallu for the listings. The tent for loopallu gets set up about 20 metres from our firewood shed... So I shall just sit there and soak it all up for free

Thanks Scotspine, purely by coincidence both of these are on the route I selected today for the long way round from Fort William to Ullapool.

 

It looked a bit remote on the map which is why i liked it.

Looks like we may be in Ullapool on the 16th for one night, so hopefully there will be accommodation available. Can you suggest somewhere reasonable?

[jmac80]

Plenty accommodation all over Ullapool on that day, there is bed and breakfasts on just about every street!
