I've written about them here: https://starryblackness.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/donald-dewar/<br />LynneStarryblacknesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250058330492505345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574524087564265939.post-28287165631083837752011-05-30T10:50:52.719-07:002011-05-30T10:50:52.719-07:00I hope you enjoy your time in Scotland.

We...Always appreciate your words and images, David. We leave in a couple of weeks for a five-week work exchange in Forfar, Scotland. Alas, I'm afraid there won't be time to paddle. We do look forward to visiting family and seeing your beautiful part of the world. If we could just bring our kayaks...

The...Hi Rhiannon, it’s good to hear from you again. The weather has been very unpredictable over the past few weeks. However, if it was not for the poor weather condition I would never had paddle Loch Graignish and camped at Macaskin. Like all Islands it has a personality all of its own, but it has a special atmosphere. On a positive note I did manage to launch, get the tent up and down and pack the car at the end of the trip in the dry. It was only the rest of the trip that was wet. Let’s hope that the weather conditions settle down soon to its normal summer pattern: RAIN!! <br /><br />David ADavid Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755707598453084306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574524087564265939.post-36424612221451504592011-05-24T09:09:42.680-07:002011-05-24T09:09:42.680-07:00Great post there, David, and a fascinating island ...Great post there, David, and a fascinating island to visit by the looks of it. <br />The weather's been throwing some fun at us over the last few weeks, hasn't it?!<br />RhiannonRhiannonnoreply@blogger.com
