Absolutely stunning pics, yep I'm jealous. I would love to tour around that countryside on a bike.
Fancy putting me and the missus up for a few weeks? lol

That harbour pic reminds me of Douglas in the IOM.

Great stuff Shane, shame about the rain. I love it up in Scotland. I have done a few trips up to the top of Scotland. My favourite bit is the run from the Kyle of Localsh to the Kyle of Tongue, it is fantastic! I would move there tomorrow if it wasn't for the midges!
