We really enjoyed perth and sterling meds….. nearly as much as inverness….. one of the python castles is near stirling in case morley is interested
Thanks, FS. Always interested in Python stuff, as you know! I'm hoping to do a bike ride up there in spring, but not decided exactly where yet.

Btw Meds, try Arbroath Smokies if you've not had them before. (Perfectly legal...they're fish :D )

If you get chance, try to visit some of the fishing villages on the Fife coast, below St Andrews: Anstruther, Crail, Elie, Pittenweem, Largo.

I believe the chippy at Anstruther is the best in Scotland so might have to be paying it a visit
