Queens View - ambrosia for the eyes
Edradour single malt - ambrosia for the pallette (sp?).

Queens View at sunset is absolutely stunning I have a few slides and will try to scan and post some as example.

Just incredibly jealous - as I'm originally from the old country.
Superb route, wonderful roads and the scenery.......
