Small beer for many here, but my first airborne visit to Scotland was an eye-opener for me. The place, the people and the weather were just perfect. An easy two and a half hours from Welshpool, but a world away. Based at Oban for a few days, the Western Isles were a breathtaking delight to fly over. Did a visit to Glenforsa, not on the busy weekend and got served with good food within minutes. Went to gorgeous Plockton and found my brakes worked well when asked towards the end of the perfect asphalt runway. Oban is a superb base for this and I will be back, lots!
