Preamble
Tomorrow we set off on our tour of the Western Isles.
We are starting on Arran. I came to Arran several times as a child on family holidays, my father having grown up on the Clyde and having a continuing affection for the area, which certainly rubbed off on me. In those days we would travel up overnight from London on the Starlight Special to St Enochs. This time we are driving.
After Arran we drive up to Oban then across to Barra, and up through S and N Uist, Harris and Lewis, and Skye.
At least, that's the plan. It only takes one ferry out of place to wreck things, and following Calmac on Twitter I realise how precarious their timetables are.
Ah well - we'll see how things work out
