Last week, I did a 5 day motorcycling tour of Scotland in mostly beautiful sunshine. I wasn't going to post anything on here as it wasn't a walking tour, but as some interest has been shown in seeing some of the photos I took, here's a few. You'll have to bear with me on names and exact locations in some instances, and forgive me if I've got some wrong

There were many places where I wished I had time to go traipsing off into the hills on foot, but kitted out in the bike gear, it wouldn't have been too practical alas
