    Brought back so many great memories of my trips to Scotland and gave me some ideas for the next trip if I’m fortunate enough to get another one. Seeing the puffins on Staffa was a highlight of my trip this year.

      @highlands2hammocks  Před rokem +1

    I am just back today after completing the NC500 with my 16 year old son. We had a great time and also couldn’t believe how empty it was. Great for us of course. We were blown away by it and had a fabulous time. I did by your excellent book which was put to very good use.
