In Which I Went to Scotland With A Boy Named Dan

Get ready for a non-book-related post…

I had a truly amazing time in Scotland, despite our car hitting a huge rock in the road on the first day (it couldn’t be avoided as a massive truck was coming towards us on a single lane road, so it was a choice between hitting the rock and hitting the truck). We had to wait on the edge of a narrow and very fast country road for two hours until the recovery vehicle arrived, and were then stranded in Pitlochry for four days… it’s nice for one or two days, but after four we are happy to never ever go back. The car (Rommel) was taken to a garage in Perth and we rented a car (Salvatore) to carry on with our trip. Having lost three days travelling and sightseeing in Shitlochry we had to cut out going to Orkney but other than that it was an amazing trip.
