You go through some fairly remote territory there too - away from the usual places us baggers seem to end up! Nice sunset at the end too.

Your comment about high tea reminds me of some 1920's adverts on the wall of the Pheonix Bar in Dundee. Advertising coach trips up Glen Esk with a stop off for high tea, all for a rather small amount of shillings and pence 8)


And the tour runs even yet :) altho it costs a little more these days :o http://www.thegreateskape.com/


Cool - wasn't expecting that!
