Hey there Lodo - sounds like you've been on The Soup again!!!

Sorry you've had a "down" day - focus on Scotland - you'll have a fabulous time - although dispel any thoughts of the possibility of it raining - its almost a racing certainty:

Found this:

"It's impossible to underestimate the influence of the weather. More often than not, it will be windy and rainy, though you can have all four seasons in one day. The wind-chill factor is not to be taken lightly, and there is often a dampness or drizzle in the air, even when it's not actually raining. Even in late spring and summer, when there can be long dry spells with lots of sunshine, you still need to come prepared for wind, rain and, most frustrating of all, the occasional sea fog. The one good thing is that midges are less of a problem, except on Hoy"

I hear wreck diving is pretty popular there...

Recommend deet - as strong as you can stand it for the midges!

Best - GFI
