This morning we boarded the ferry and took the 10km trip across the sometimes rough waters to Skye. After disembarking at Armadale, we drove northeast to Broadford, the second largest town on Skye. There we left the main road, and Posted by bryceb in Europe 2009 | Sep 17, 2009

I've always had a fascination; almost a sense of "belonging", with the Scottish Highlands and my plan was to get there as quickly as possible. I wasn't disappointed; we left Glasgow and travelled north towards Fort William and the Posted by bryceb in Europe 2009 | Sep 16, 2009

As I was quite keen to spend as much time in Scotland as possible, we left Oxford this morning, and drove the entire 600+ km to Glasgow today. As it was all on the motorways, we were there before 5pm; Posted by bryceb in Europe 2009 | Sep 16, 2009

So I was in London, and I had a couple of days until I left for Paris, so I looked at Google maps, checked out some pictures, and decided to hop a train to Edinburgh Scotland. Little did I Posted by mjzaugg in Where in the World is Mike Z? | Sep 7, 2009

Well I can't really list this as a spur of the moment 'Must See' location before leaving as we had been planning this trip for some time. I basically fell in love with the city and would recommend anyone ever Posted by carlzfuges in Adventures Abroad | Aug 13, 2009
- Ghosts and Princes and Clans Re-united
Last night (which seems forever ago already. On a side note, today is one of those, 'Ok, so where am I again?' days! I'm in York, England, but it doesn't feel like it yet!) I went on a ghost tour Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Jul 25, 2009
- Edinburgh-- Rain, Hills, and Pubs
SO! As some of you know Edinburgh was totally depressing me! The first couple of days here rained like crazy, so that made it hard to sight see, take pictures, and meet people outside of the weirdos staying at my Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Jul 24, 2009

Sorry I haven't been on here! It doesn't help when you have to pay for wifi at your hostel, and it only lasts for 24 hours till you have to pay again! Ridiculous! Anyways here goes!

TODAY WAS AWESOME! Went just under an hour's train ride away to a little town called Balloch, where there was highland games going on. Got there, wandered around the little shops, and a lady had a "Scotland 2009 Vancouver Island Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Jul 18, 2009

WOW I've been a wee bit busy, as they say in Glasgow! But it's about time to update this baby and get on with things!

The T-Unit went in for a Service on Tuesday. We got the van back on Saturday and there was lots of little things fixed.
We still have our wiper problem at the moment, but it is fixable. We're trying to Posted by lkane86 in The Adventures of Laura and Cal | Jun 23, 2009

- Partying in Saint Andrews
Ever since arriving in Saint Andrews it's been an almost non-stop party with Claire and Laura. Our first evening in town on Sunday, the 14th, it's been a whirlwind of people, alcohol and sightseeing, not that I'm complaining at Posted by DavidJFabe in David Faber's Travel Blog | Jun 17, 2009

As with my other travels I've made a point of trying all of the folk dishes here in the UK. For the most part these have been at least somewhat recognizable to an American's palate but there was one Posted by DavidJFabe in David Faber's Travel Blog | Jun 16, 2009

Drove all the way from Oxford, England to St. Andrews, Scotland yesterday. Fairly long haul at about 7 and 1/2 hours. Only took one wrong turn and it proved to be scenic and still going in the correct Posted by DavidJFabe in David Faber's Travel Blog | Jun 15, 2009

Last night was my first attempt at driving the van.
After getting Cal to have a look at the engine the previous night, we discovered the T-Unit was crying out for some oil. After much deliberation we ended up in Posted by lkane86 in The Adventures of Laura and Cal | Jun 4, 2009

We left Portsoy basically on schedule. About 8:00 a.m we were pulling out of the village. I kept my eyes fixed to the North Sea in hopes of seeing the dolphins. We had been looking for them Posted by June-Anne in Family Trees and Branches | May 19, 2009

Here is the sunset that I spoke of earlier. I have now been able to upload it for you to see. This photo of course doesn't do justice to what was actualy seen. It was amazing.
