SCMC Wee Smokie Arbroath 12/04/24

 Another cracking day at the SCMC Wee Smokie gathering in Arbroath. Lots of folk to blether with and hundreds of bikes to look at. We were almost the last to leave then headed home via Kitschnbake in Newport then some very quiet Fife roads back to Perth. Thanks to the club for a great day.

SCMS Gathering Tullybannocher 18/09/22

A very well attended gathering, which unfortunately was a victim of it's own success. Lots of great looking bikes and lots of blethering by the attendees. The staff at Tullybannocher coped well with the constant stream of customers.

North West Scotland Holiday Part 4. September 2022

For our last days stay in Culkein we had a more sedate walk along the beautiful beach at Clachtoll. The blue skies and clear waters adding to the sense of peace and quiet. The good weather led to some amazing night skies, another stroke of luck getting to see the Aurora Borealis again from our hut in Culkein. The next day we took the scenic road down the coast to our next campsite at Altandhu, stopping off for a walk along Achnahaird Bay. Heading home on our last day we stopped off at the Corrieshalloch Gorge. Another stunning week in Assynt and the surrounding area led to us planning to stay the following year.
