gathering photos ... well, no one else has made an effort to caption or yap aboot these photos - so I will.    left; at the castle on Saturday, the fight begins!  right; Liz in her natural habitat! People management is what Liz does best, here she is seen in her full flow, a drink and mouth open yappin away, looking cool and relaxed as ever.  The Lizzie bird in natural surroundings in full flight!

Beer & Whisky on Mull ...

above, this was our friendly McLean from Tobermory Brewery giving us a great insight into the local beers and the special Maclean brew made for the gathering, thanks for the free beers!  We enjoyed them.

On the way to Staffa ... again we see oor Lizzie drink in hand, why is that always the case methinks?  The ferry to Iona in the background whilst our chartered boat chugs away to Staffa.  See how most are in jackets and jumpers, oor Liz is used to our baking hot Scottish weather and dresses accordingly!  Below, och come on folks, it was not that cold!  Bob looks like he is heading to the north pole. Sitting doon Bob has a great wee chin strap holding on his cap, very novel way to do things Bob!

On the way to Staffa

Nice headgear!  Left, this was taken at Smoo Cave just after the cave visit and picnic time.  See you Jimmie!

Paul, Michelle, Liz and Matt pulling pints at MacGregors Roadhouse, courtesy our pal of Billy.  "Who's round is it" I asked Billy, och go and do it y'self then! came his reply, so we did, all of us!  Me (Paul) in my black shirt and red face (Staffa and Iona did that to me, see, told you it was hot!), Michelle standing in a hole, Liz - a natural bar girlie, and Matt, "I could get used to this".

The wee man at it again!  Chrissy and Brian thinking "wish he would buzz off wit that dirk (duck)" while right; is it Johnny Cash?  Bert Weeden? nope, it's country boy Birkbeck!

Below, some of the tour folks stopped on a while longer to tour self drive style, arranged by Liz and Paul.  We had 8 of you meet up in Perth for munchies and drinks, whisky was popular!

Shown left and below; Saturday night in Perth at Paul's local pub, The Foundry. Clarence & Bobbye Greek and the bunch of McCanns, Kathy Smith group in tow. Paul needed help with this wild bunch of Tennesseans (sorry to the Texan lady here), wild was the right word to use, noisy? erm, maybe.  so Liz gave a helping hand to Paul, she works at the pub and is a good pal of Paul's. Food was taken in aplenty here, as were the drinks!  Top - Liz sharing a joke with them all, too much for Kathy. Below left, smile please!  Right, Paul's adopted dad and mum with Liz, his adopted daughter! Paul took these by the way, he's not hiding!
