"He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate".Henry David Thoreau
My job often involves flying to any one of the great cities of Europe, driving to an airport at an un-Godly hour to queue in a bustling melee of fellow travellers each bound to the same destination. I find it all too much of a headache, the noise, the anxiety and the waiting around, tramping in an uncomfortable heat in a barren dust covered landscape with too much luggage. This is the last thing I want to do on my holiday. No, for my "me time" I want to improve my soul's estate with scenic journeys by land & sea through beautiful landscape. For this there is no better place than Scotland.
