    Thanks John, I just spent 30 mins google touring Scotland from the 
    Atlantic to the North Sea. It has that wonderful "heather desert" 
    sensation that we sometimes see in Co. Wicklow, but different. Nary a 
    car to be seen for most of it. But it is a delightful wilderness to live 
    near.

    I also saw the phone box on the A836 and was amused to see a gentleman 
    dismounted from a silver Merc SL apparently relieving himself in the 
    ditch behind it.  He is of that age - as am I - when the clarion call of 
    the bladder must be swiftly obeyed. Google, of course, has blurred the 
    registration plate, so a plausible offended denial should suffice.
