The Kessock Bridge will always be my favourite. When I used to come up here on holiday, before I moved up permanently, I used to love that view you get of the bridge as you start heading downhill on the A9 towards Inverness. Seeing it meant that we weren't far from our destination and it used to make my heart sing even more than passing the "Welcome to Scotland" sign on the M6 😊

When you venture back to Alloway you'll have to check out the Alloway tunnel. We discovered it by accident in January. There's a path across from the burns centre, down a small slope, that leads you to the tunnel. It's filled with "amusing" graffiti. Apparently, the people behind the Colinton tunnel are going to do the same with it. It's worth a walk and look.

If you look closely at the Glenfinnan viaduct the Mallaig end is slightly higher than the Fort William end so the engine has to work hard on the way out but the return trip is downhill at that point. Another great way to watch the train is to get one of the cruises from Fort William that will chase the train along the coast (for a short bit, it can't keep up).

When I saw the Brig O'Doon, I had an ah-ha moment when I realized it was the name of the fictitious place (Brigadoon) in the US musical "Finian's Rainbow" (How Are Things in Glocca Morra" and all that). The musical was from 1947 (the year I was born!), and a movie of it with Petula Clark was made in 1968. More useless information....our high school staged the musical when I was a senior (1965) and I played Susan, the deaf girl. How's that for TMI?
