Well done Chris ,was toying with the Western Isles this year myself even priced a trip to St Kilda for me and the wife £180 each from leverburgh for the day.Maybe some other time.Was over on Harris fishing 5 years ago ,loved the place ,Callanish was surreal in a surreal landscape,very spiritual place about the only thing to go and see on a Sunday as we did (everything else was locked up) .Thanks again Chris

That'll be the one - Home of The Windie Goat Brewery

If you can see where "Woodend" is marked on the map, that is the spot....we didn't stop in Oban.
