The Green Welly Stop Online Blog (Free subscription) | 17/11/2009
Hello all! It's been a while since I had a chance to Blog. The main tourist season is in the past, and I must admit that it has been a busy November so far, with lots of folk on the road. In particular, the coach companies are busy with their Turkey & Tinsel tours, so there are customers walking around in Santa hats! It's personally a bit early for me to even think about Christmas decorations,...

When you’ve been called mad by Iain Banks, you know you’re in for an interesting holiday. And after a week of – well, weather – on the Isle of Mull, I’m beginning to think Banksy had the right of it. Mull is beautiful – glacier-carved rocky severity shrugging its way out of blankets of rich autumnal colour. Cloud lifts in wisps from the mountaintops – they...

It was about a year ago that I was walking around Covent Garden looking for the old Cadenhead shop. I discovered they had just moved (to 26 Chiltern Street in the West End). I found it and was welcomed with the warming sight of whisky. WM Cadenhead is Scotland's oldest independent bottler (established in 1842). They've been doing this for long enough and have survived the ups and downs in scotch popularity...

And now for those glorious Scottish gardens - I'm lucky to have friends in Mull, so my wanderings have taken me north on various occasions and the gardens in Scotland are quite spectacular in the autumn. Torosay Castle and Gardens (above) is worth making a special trip to see - you catch the ferry in Oban (make sure you book in the summer months, because Mull is very popular), and arrive 40 minutes...

Tobermory Distillery late 1800s Alfred Barnard made an epic journey with some friends in the late 1800s and visited working whisky distilleries in Scotland, Ireland and England. About his journey and distillery visits he wrote a book called ’The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom’, describing in great detail and wonderful style the distilleries of that era. It’s a fascinating...

All too often I have to turn right when I reach the M6 motorway and drive down...

Photographs from a Small Island (Free subscription) | 14/08/2009
A couple of months ago I had the chance to visit the Isle of Mull on the west coast os Scotland. The drive from Glasgow is wonderful with spectacular scenery. I stayed just north of Oban in a small place called Connel. Grove House was the best bed and breakfast I have stayed in. Karen made me feel so welcome, a true home from home. Every detail had been attended to and the room was comfortable. The...

Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, Scotland, West Coast. Superb day sailing in June 2009, with Captain Jack, George, Doug, Derek, Eric and my son, Gary on the West coast of Scotland. I've got to admit that travelling to Ardnamurchan by car is a very, very long way, but by yacht it's a brilliant journey! We had a great day leaving Bunessan on the Isle of Mull to sail past Staffa and lunch at Sanna Bay to the...

If you don’t want your kids to get wet, don’t bring them to the beach. It’s a simple enough rule, but Lisa and I tend to forget it. We’d been in Tobermory for the day. Tobermory is the largest city on the Isle of Mull boasting roughly 10,000 inhabitants. It’s a lovely little town perched on the edge of the water, complete with the row of multi-colored buildings that line...
