In nine weeks' time, we're going to Scotland!

On Friday 27 April, we'll be getting the sleepr from Euston to Glasgow, like this:

and then going onto Oban, also by train. Then it's onto the ferry to Mull:

where we pick up a hire car.

We're going to stop in a self-catering flat in Tobermory ("Balamory", for those of you with small children) for a week, and (among other things) take wildlife tours like this one:

Then it's on to Iona for three days:

and then back to the mainland, for three days in Oban:

While there, we hope to go here, familiar to many stranded Arthurians:

before we come back home by the same route we used to get up there.

Mid-June. We're going to be up on the west coast of Scotland on Midsummer's Day, or thereabouts, so the sunset ought to be very very late indeed. Which is not, perhaps, the best thing, really, since I have problems sleeping except in very dark rooms. Oh well...

You wouldn't like Iceland, then - they barely seem to have heard of curtains!
