On the Whisky Trail

[Oyne]

"There's no whisky in the hoose! How can life go on", I cry

"Well, you'd better go get some", the Wise One Said

So I did...

Pick your ride?

On the road with the only ride

I wonder who lives there...?

"As still skies or storms unfold, take a moment to behold"..Maybe a warning of things to come but...

in the meantime, I'm here to to behold...

where I had just come from..

"I can see your house / castle / mansion from here..."

two's company...

So I decide to split..

I'm almost there...

2090feet, it's snowing and it's May 26th!!

but not enough to justify cranking the ignition...

It would be lonely out here but somehow, I don't think I'd mind...

Shoganai wisely said:

"Be still, and know that I am God"

For all that motorcycling is, one of it's greatest gifts is the ability to take us to places where that quote is the first things that came to my mind.

Today, for the first time, I understood what she meant

The 276c said this was the shortest way there and who am I to argue?

The thing is, watch out for the sheep...

A Scotsman best friend during these cold, dark winter nights..thankfully for them, it's Spring...

I guess if you need to contact someone, there is always this...

As I said, it might be lonely living out here but...

Oo, oo, oo, I can smell it...Well, I would if I didn't have that damn cold :sniff

And we're there...

"You don't believe me??" Believe this!!

I was too late for the final tour but I wasn't here for that..

I toured the shop...

Somewhere nice, warm & welcoming to sip a good one..

but it was getting late...

and I had a long, wet road to go...

Sanctuary...Ahhh Sorry for the rival webpage.

Scotland must be one of the most beautiful countries in the world. For the past 8 years, I lived in various countries (Brazil, the US, Bolivia, Qatar) but since coming back to Scotland in 2006, I have been awe-struck by the natural beauty of this place. My wife, a Merican, never wants to leave and I can see why.

I will be heading to another one soon....

Don't tell everyone I'm not there I think I left the door unlocked


Corgaff looks a wee bit twee now, give it a few years to weather it will look better IMO
