Away to Arran for a week with lots of family. Thankfully the weather's looking to be drier than when I checked the long-range forecast a week ago!
I don't think my folks took me when I was a kid, but I've seen photos from when my grandparents took my aunt and I'm going to take the camera they used (an old folding medium format ensign from the '50s). Should be a good time, though the baby hasn't been sleeping well! 😬
Old school camera will make for some good fun, trying to recreate some of those auld photaes :)
Love Arran, think you'll make it up Goatfell? Or see the new dig? New distillery? All the cheese, oatcakes, and chutneys right too?
I always challenge folk to count how many of the big 5 they encounter when on Arran. Seals, red squirrels, golden eagles, red dear, and otters iirc and I did 4 in one day once the otter proving elusive
Definitely going to try to get up Goatfell! We'll probably make sure to get some of the tasty grub as well.
My dad's been talking about some old trees on the island so that'll be a wee trip out. Going to get some kayaking and a boat trip in hopefully if the weather holds up!
Shame you never spotted an otter! What time it year was it you went?
About now. And seen otters in other parts of the country, but would have been great to hit all 5 in 1 day
Maybe they all feck off to somewhere nice for the tattie holidays.
