Sounds very nice - I'd love to drive my Zed around some of the islands.
Hope you have the weather because down here on the south coast - well you've probably seen it on TV for the Jubilee celebrations - a little damp.

This is as far as you'll get if you are island-hopping in Scotland - the Wick of Scaw, on the Shetland island of Unst where the most northerly section of metalled road in the British Isles, the B9087, simply peters out into a dirt track at a sign which says "No cars past this point."

Probably not! :lol:

The next vehicle we saw after that was a beat-up bus taking around 25 hairy-bottomed Scotsmen in kilts to the Baltasound Hotel, the most northerly pub in Britain, as part of a weekend-long stag 'do.' Apparently they had a £2,000 kitty. :shock:
