You'll know from your visits down this way (and in the central area too) just how many magnificent buildings are on their way to demolition.<br />Your Fort William picture reminds me of the Bellsbank estate in DalmellingtonThe Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-32634391391138970272012-05-12T20:52:33.500+01:002012-05-12T20:52:33.500+01:00They certainly are Bob...have had good trips to Ei...They certainly are Bob...have had good trips to Eigg and Canna in the past and I love the Small isles...Muck the only one still to do!

Brought back memories of a visit there with my partner Carole in 2006. We stayed in the Castle and had 4 days of lovely weather in June. Climbed some of the hills, went to Kilmory Bay where a woman was living in the cottage with her cat. Someone told us she was a member of the Guiness brewing family and worked on the deer project. Loved the views over to Skye and spotted lots of wildlife including Sea and Golden eagles. Great memories and reading your blog brought it back.<br /><br />HunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-23074050668109778442012-05-07T12:02:10.741+01:002012-05-07T12:02:10.741+01:00Cheers Robert.
