I was told (not sure how true) that it is one of only 2 places in europe you can see 4 States from one place. Scotland, IOM, NI and England. When I was there I struggled to see much pasted the front wheel of the Strple. I've been to the other one close to the Swiss border with Liechtenstein where you can also see Austrian hills and Germany across the Bodensee in the FAR FAR distance.

Re: Road trip - Scotland
Ah, well yes. After a week of pretty good weather, with no more than a light shower on Tuesday, we got back home to wet roads and within 10 minutes of arriving it was bucketing down!
Hope it's not too wet tomorrow as Mick's riding back home to Yorkshire in the morning! |

Re: Road trip - Scotland
Massive thunderstorm here in South Norfolk last night. Today we have a cloudless sky and the humidity is through the roof. I am sweating just sitting quietly on the sofa.
