Anyhow, look over the pix on facebook, but y'know what? an hour after taking those blue sky shots, it started to snow! Welcome to Alba!

It's March 13th and am looking forward to my next tour; guests over with us from Texas, USA, on a sightseeing, history and whisky tour, sounds good to me! We will be at Glasgow, Dumfries, Oban, Mull, Inverness, Elgin and Edinburgh - lots of goodies and whisky, meeting friends en route.

PAUL ON TOUR Surfacing next day, a ferry sail to the Isle of Mull, doon to Tobermory for a distillery tour, tasting the standard 10 year old Tob, the peaty Ledaig and the excellent 15 year old Tob. Whilst the guests enjoyed the distillery, one of Scotland's most rugged west coast islands. The Distillery was built in 1798. Tobermory comes from the Gaelic word meaning 'well of Mary'.  Paul enjoyed a venison stew at Neil’s pub; MacGochans. A scenic drive to Dervaig, then through the glens to Craignure and up a wee track to Paul’s castle; Duart. Hell, was it a cold biting breeze that day! So nothing else for it; the picnic basket came out, stuffed with whisky, cheese and Maclean Bakery oatcakes. Whisky sampled; some more of the a’bunadh, Tyrconnel from Ireland, Cragganmore, Bruichladdie Waves, Springbank 15 yo, Smokehead, BenRiach sherry, Cutty Sark Storm, finished with Mull blue cheese and salmon nibbles, all devoured in the van. A brief interlude at the Craignure inn for more drams before the ferry back to Oban. Aye Paul was left home alone whilst the guests went pub crawling with Sean from O’Donnells. By the way, Paul went “home” to Connel, staying with Mrs Maclean there. A few drams and a pint and great food at the Oyster Bar before beddie time. SEE WHOLE STORY HERE
