Speyside

Today is a tour of the Speyside whisky region. It’s an early pickup (again).  The Speyside Cooperage is on our ‘must see’ list and the only time we could tour is at 9:00.  The cooperage is only one of a few left in Scotland.  Here they build and repair casks using traditional hand methods.  These…

Dornoch

Hey – it’s us!

As the two of us have travelled over the years we’ve tried to keep a blog going (mainly so we can remember what the heck we did!).  It’s been good fun and a great way to hold on to special memories.
