  • Edinburgh, ScotlandI made it to Scotland! The flight was a simple hour and 20 minutes. I got to the airport on time, I hung out with one of my friends who happened to be flying out the same time to go Posted by Michele530 in The Netherlands! | Oct 2, 2011

  • Wet Weather ActivitiesThe bad weather experienced all year in the UK has continued into autumn. So far I have had two blue-sky days. I'm averaging 1 in 10 for that. The weather down the head of the loch where the big hills Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 27, 2011
  • Local ExplorationEverytime we drive the 6 miles between Poolewe and Gairloch we eye up this small crag 3 min down the road from the croft where we are staying. It is rocky and craggy and inviting. Today we accepted the invitation Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 27, 2011
  • Fairy LochsThe weather wasn't great today so we opted for another low-level walk by the coast, not far from where we had gone walking yesterday. In fact, we had good views of the Kerrysdale Forest and the second half of yesterday's Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 27, 2011
  • Flowerdale Waterfall and Navigation BrillianceAfter our biggish walk yesterday we though we'd better have a quieter day today so we perused the maps and settled on a low-level one to the Flowerdale Waterfall. The walk started at the Gairloch Golf Club and began with Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 27, 2011
  • Peak DayWe started with a drive to Gairloch and on almost to Kinlochewe. Kinloch apparently means something like ‘top of the loch’ which makes sense as that is where Kinloch is on Lake Wakatipu. I don’t know what ‘ewe’ means – Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 27, 2011
  • Borrowston to PooleweTravel Day – wahoo! The car was loaded to the gunwales for just two of us on a 10 day trip to the mainland. But first we had to go way north to Tiumpan Head to drop Hugo at a Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 27, 2011
  • EdinburghHello from Scotland! We made it to dry land today and it could not have been a nicer. The weather was gorgeous—about 65 degrees with lots of sun and just a slight breeze. You could not ask for better. Posted by jaylee in Jaylee's World Tour 2011 | Sep 15, 2011
  • Land ho!Heya! We’re still afloat here on Wednesday! The seas are still rough and the swells were last reported at 17ft, so not as bad as yesterday. The stabilizers have been out all night and the captain tells us that Posted by jaylee in Jaylee's World Tour 2011 | Sep 14, 2011
  • Midgey MondayIt's been a quiet couple of days here. Mainly because of the weather - grey & a bit miserbale. Not so good for walking. But not bad for eating Scottish pancakes. Or picking snow peas and digging potatoes. Yesterday was Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 12, 2011
  • And ButtThe Butt of Lewis is the northern most part of the isle of Lewis at 58deg north. There is a lighthouse, 50-something metres tall made from brick but not painted like most lighthouses. They only de-manned it as recently as Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 10, 2011
  • Two in One DayGrey clouds, a bit of rain, mist, patches of sun. Just another day in the Scottish hills. We drove the same route as to Sunday's walk to Suiainebhal and continued to the end of the road. The walk started with Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 8, 2011
  • Edinburgh and ScotlandWe are in Edinburgh, getting ready to leave today for Kendal, then Ludlow, then Conwy. We accidentally woke David in the middle of the night to find him asleep because on holiday, and we now know he hasn't done Posted by Monimouse in Adventure on a budget | Sep 7, 2011
  • Arnol BlackhouseToday's agenda was a visit to a reconstructed blackhouse and a Norse mill. A blackhouse is a traditional house made of stone (everything here is made of stone - wood is in short supply) with a turf and thatch roof. Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 7, 2011
  • Broken BrochThe weather is slowly getting greyer and the clouds look threatening though haven't really delivered much rain. But we decided to have a couple of local walks and tourist activities today. The first was to a standing stone circle called Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 7, 2011

  • Golden MomentsThe agenda for today was a small walk starting (and ending) at the front gate. We weren't aiming for anything ambitious as I was still tired after the travel. The destination was a small ben (hill) called Laimiasdair (don't ask me Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 4, 2011
  • Fly me FlybeI left home about 12:45 on Thursday afternoon. Almost two full days later I arrived at my final destination - the village of Borrowston on the Isle of Lewis. It was a journey of encounters as one of my friends was Posted by pythagnz in Scottish Ramblings | Sep 3, 2011
