The Cusco to Puno train takes you across the Andean High Plateau and onto the shores of Lake Titicaca. It's a lengthy journey (ten & a half hours) but I could have stayed in this carriage all day

While Neil Lennon is under intense moral scrutiny, its worth recognising that when he was touted for the Scotland job, his appointment was deemed too divisive amongst supporters They instead appointed someone who played an integral role in a sporting scandal which shamed Scotland

In Breasclete (just North of Callanish) you'll find a memorial dedicated to the three lightkeepers who mysteriously dissappeared in the Flannan Isles. They left from this jetty 1900.

The new footpath between Lower Sandwick and the Iolaire Monument is lovely. There's a tree planted for every victim of the tragedy. My Great Uncle Kenneth Maclean has his tree positioned beside that of his 1st cousin Norman Mackay who's body was never recovered. A nice touch

Cycling over the Clisham is the hardest section of the

My advice to anyone embarking upon the journey is not to drink 11 pints in the Motel the night before. Also, having to pedal like the clappers so I could meet my cousins off the Stornoway Ferry was not clever🚴

I just received this from the Minister for roads, buses & places (Baroness Vere of Norbiton). I've not driven a lorry for over 20 years and I've no intention of going back to it.

Our guide Jhordy actually carries emergency oxygen with him whenever we're at altitude. Ironically the only time it was almost required was when he showed us an avocado plantation which prompted

I'm really looking forward to taking part in the Scottish Independence March in Stornoway this Saturday.
The union has been an absolute disaster for the Outer Hebrides & if we choose to do nothing, nothing will change. Self determination is the only way forward
Please Read the following information as it is important for the day of the March. Refer to map if you are not familiar with our town.😁

1st outing on the new cycle path between Grimshader Rd End and Stornoway. Better if it extend right into Marybank but it does offer a reprieve for Cyclist & Motorists over a nasty stretch of double white lines which do not allow for overtaking. Let's hope there's more to come 🚴

Personally I think that all the events to mark to 100 Year anniversary of the Iolaire disaster have been superb. It was an unenviable task for the organisers as everyone has their own opinion on things but I think that everything was done respectfully & professionally throughout

Sandwick Cemetery today. Pictured are 11 graves from the Iolaire tragedy. Many are ‘known unto God’ alone & laid to rest alongside crew members of the ship. 3rd from the left is 17 year old David Macdonald from Aberdeen. The Iolaire signal boy & the youngest victim of the tragedy

I'm sorry Danny but I fear you've misidentified the biscuits. Barry from Watford said it was "like a viscount." If it actually was a packet of viscounts, I'm confident he would have known as much and would definitely have told us so.

They allow passengers to get off at the train at the highest point of the journey, La Raya which sits at an altitude of 4,300m. There's local traders there selling all manner of goods made from Alpaca Wool 🦙

Inca Kola in Peru is one of only 2 soft drinks in the world that (in their country of origin) far outsell Coca-Cola
*the other being Irn-Bru
Inca Kola's dominance in the Peruvian market caused Coca-Cola to acquire the company for $300m in 1999
*It tastes similar to Irn-Bru
