When we got there it was closed to the public because the Queen was coming. However, we did get to see the Queen and Princess Anne drive past from King Arthur`s Seat, led by a pipe band! Suggest you try to avoid the time she`s at Balmoral for her summer break, just in case! Pat |

I can give you the address of Isa Nicolson, a lovely lady crofter on Skye who does B+B. She is right by (and owns the raparian rights to) the river Hinnisdahl, in Snizort, which is is where Bonny Prince Charlie was spotted lifting his skirt too high as he wades across. Someone spotted his hairy legs and realised that THAT was no maidservant! Pat |

Heck, I've been dreaming of the garden and Scotch brewery tour that I read about - the stitching would be a mere after thought. I should add hard to do if a brewery tour or two had proceeded it.
