Penelope here from the Isle of Bute! What a wonderful time we have had! I will fill you in on the bare bones of the trip and let the girls fill in all the exciting details:)
We had a few days in a beautiful castle in Newtyle (courtesy of Mike…thanks so much!!), travelled up to Inverness and stayed with Graeme for two nights (Thanks Graeme!!), travelled back to Hatton Castle via Aberdeen. We did a concert in the Grand Hall at the castle, and ended the evening playing tunes with the great musicians who had come for the concert.
The next day we travelled up to Dornie and had a fantastic few days with Don and Nina- played on the ferry from Armadale to Mallaigh, then went to Portree for lunch and a sight-see, then on to the Edin Bane Inn where the girls ended up playing with a guy who wrote one of the tunes they play.
A couple of days ago we drove down to Glasgow, caught the train to Wemyss Bay, then the ferry to the Isle of Bute. It has been a lovely time here with our friend Hugh Cole. We went busking today and earned enough for our bus trip to Campbeltown tomorrow from where we catch the ferry over to Ireland. All in all, the busking has gone really well. It has paid for the hire of the car plus petrol which is wonderful:)
Well, I will sign off and let the others write about snippets of our travels. Thanks to everyone who has encouraged and helped us on our way. God bless, Pen
