I probably lost most folk with the penultimate Edinburgh post (the Arthur's Seat one) by adding underground tunnels as 'a labyrinth' as that was a nod to time portals( which have become very fashionable again in certain books- plus semi secret but still highly relevant organizations like the 'Skull and Bones', 'The Bilderbergs', and 'The Freemasons.' <br />Conspiracy theory being huge in this modern era. <br />" Puppets who still have hope- carry on."blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-47140739933529789502018-01-16T11:40:11.942+00:002018-01-16T11:40:11.942+00:00Thoroughly enjoyable tour, so much information and...Thoroughly enjoyable tour, so much information and insight packed into these posts as well as some great photos.

Having seen your online skills regard...Hi Rosemary,<br />Having seen your online skills regarding meals I'm sure you could make better yourself. One of the reasons I rarely eat in restaurants is that I'm not bad in the kitchen and always enjoy my own cooking. The food we had was hot and tasty but it's the luck of the draw going by the reviews online and it may not always be like that. The interior is interesting but I wouldn't want you to be disappointed- food wise.<br />If I have a meal outside (apart from chip shops) I prefer good basic stuff like cold carved meats and salad, roast potatoes, sprouts, steak pie, chips, beans, peas etc...Sunday lunch material in most pubs nowadays. blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-26124790296363838432018-01-15T23:48:48.824+00:002018-01-15T23:48:48.824+00:00Hi Carol,

Then there was Craig from the mainland who went to be an officer on the Mull ferry so I expect he's still on that run. Then there were the islanders from the Uists like Lachie, Michael and Ronnie. Most of the officers were from the mainland too but I only really knew the second mate - he owns that little island with a lighthouse on as you leave Oban - a really nice chap.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-22820842466450929422018-01-15T08:35:20.053+00:002018-01-15T08:35:20.053+00:00What a fascinating series of posts!

The crew said they always used to have a great 3 weeks or so 'down at Leith'.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
