The tour will start in Glasgow, where we stay the first night, get over that long flight, enjoy mixing with us and fellow travellers in the hotel this first night. Our coach will then proceed to Oban where free time is available for those who wish it. The ferry to Mull follows, then check into the Isle of Mull hotel and Spa (it now has a swimming pool!). We will be planning something for tonight after dinner. Two further days/nights on Mull including the main event at the castle. We depart Mull via Lochaline and travel through the Highlands for two more days/nights based in Strathpeffer,  three nights Pitlochry. More events planned here and a day trip to consider, or free time for those who may wish to walk, play golf or simply relax at the hotel, the tour ends with us moving to Glasgow for our final night. We can't wait, never mind you! BELIEVE IT OR NOT (we tell the truth folks!) we have bookings for this tour even without knowing the cost as yet! As of 23 September 2008, we have allocated 12 seats! so get your notes of interest in soon.

SHOWN BELOW ARE SOME WEE PICTURES OF PLACES WILL BE GOING TO. top left and lower right are hotels, whilst the others are visits. We are still working on it and hopefully we will know more soon, Liz and Paul are always thinking of new ideas and even in June 2008, they had more great ideas, which become evident to those who come over in 2012! Then again; if YOU have any ideas or suggestions, please let us know and we will see if they can also be included, but - no more mentions of Sean Connery please! Are Liz and Paul not enough to handle?

UPDATE - 26 August 2008; we have decided only on a day trip to Edinburgh this time, as we have stayed there on the two previous gathering tours, from the Borders we will make a day trip to Edinburgh. What we are suggestion for those who do wish to stay there; either arrive early or stay a few days extra at the end, we will arrange all your needs for Edinburgh, including some extra day trips if you wish. Also, we will not be offering a hotel dinner every night, just a few selected nights. This enables us to put more into the tour in other places, but don't worry, where there is no evening dinner provided, there will be many options available to you, we won't leave you high and dry! Full details of this when the itinerary is placed online, soon we hope! And yes, by popular demand; the Denny & Dunipace Pipeband should be with us somewhere on the tour!
