"... that Scotland sure is Bonnie !" Scotland by poons

Scotland Travel Guide: 12,256 reviews and 26,491 photos

and a fantastic place for a Road Trip

An overnight sleeper train from Stafford to Aberdeen, arriving at 08:00.
Meeting up with VT Members Rusket & Backpackermoose, we have a VT mobile organised and take to the road.

..... and this is where the road took us.

VT members I had the pleasure of meeting in Scotland (and links to their own Scotland pages if they have them):

Backpackermoose, co48, dila, eden_teuling, flexdream, hanoun, Igraine, Myfanwe, nhcram, RaHeNi, ricky52 (& MrsRicky), Rusket, sachara, Stephanie (& Gerry), Suet, TravellingSpirit, Benazer, Hevbell & Oxymoron

What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?

Ricky52 (brave - not brave enough to go commando!)

Well I failed the mission I am sad to say. I never did find a Scotsman wearing a kilt in order for me to find out !!!

.... but I can reveal that it is purple pants that a Halifax man wears under his kilt. (sorry Ricky, I couldn't resist) *she says tittering*

Dunnet Head (not John O Groats)...

.... that is the most northerly point of Mainland Britain.

Dunnet Head is a few miles westward along the Coast from John O Groats.

What an awesome coastline it is too ! Was WILD AND BEAUTIFUL on the day we visited (high winds, and the sunshine breaking through cracks in stormy clouds).

Last visit to Scotland: Sep 2006
