Wow, this sounds really great,

I just want to pack my bags and head over there right now.

There is no doubting the beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The lads and I, whilst still in our teens, spent a week up there and the scenery is stunning, the air fresh, the night sky full of twinkling stars and if you are lucky a watery glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Thirty something years on my wife and I are heading up there and I am looking forward to my second visit to the area.

On this trip, however, there will be no tent, I broke my camping virginity on that trip with the lads and found no comfort in camping at all.

Different strokes for different folks but camping is not for me. The ground is hard, the nights are chilly and noisy and sleep difficult to come by. My appreciation of the beauty of Scotland was enhanced after a good nights sleep, without an aching body and a tummy full of bacon, eggs, toast and tea made for me!

Hello ... my attention to this was drawn by a Google alert. I am not an Eigg islander, but I was involved in the community buyout and have written extensively about it. I just want to say how helpful this review is for Eigg. I especially liked, and agreed, with where you say: "A friendly, approachable stable population of seventy, will make the first-timer feel like a much missed family member even after just two days; and it does not take more than an hour to fall in love with the landscape."

This has been the experience of many visitors.

All the best, and come back soon! Alastair McIntosh

I Have His Ear in My Pocket

Ivan came home with a bloody nose and his mother asked, "What happened?"
"A kid bit me," replied Ivan.
"Would you recognize him if you saw him again?" asked his mother.
"I'd know him any where," said Ivan. "I have his ear in my pocket."

A Good Boy

Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"
"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.
"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"
"She is the one who sells the candy."


Drunk

One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
"But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"


Hospitality

The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving an apple-pie without any cheese. The little boy of the family left the room quietly for a moment and returned with a piece of cheese which he laid on the guest's plate. The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth and then said: "You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny. Where did you find the cheese?" "In the rat-trap, sir," replied the boy.
