The midges are even friendlier.


I went to the highlands with my wife (who's American), but she kept going on about the "minges" biting her, until I explained the difference!

This is that yacht we saw in Bergen.

As I said it's 1.2 million Euros per week to hire and takes 12 guests. (1.4 millions euros with "expenses")

You do get a crew of 28 to look after you for the week though.

Anyone up for clubbing together to hire it?

I can't believe I'd had no one take me up on this yet.

If 12 of us split the cost it'll only be about 120,000 Euros each.

It was either that or a can of Guinness.  



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

We've driven through Auchinleck a couple of times travelling up through Scotland and always think of JDT.

Was in the Highlands last week and will be again next week. Currently in a very wet and windy Kirkwall on the Orkneys.

There are loads of Scottish flags up round these parts as you would expect, but also a baffling number of Italian flags, until it dawned on me why.


Of course the Euros, but lots of Italian families in Scotland for some reason.

Both of the best chippies in Paisley where I stay are ran by Italian families (The Cardosi's (Allan's Snack Bar) and the Nutini's (Castelvecci - also famous for that Paolo)).
