Oban
... The fishing boats are in with their fresh catch. Ok so after all that we head to Aunty Karen's to meet some more of Karlyn's family. We meet her Granny, Aunty Catherine and Gordon, Aunty Karen's husband. Wow an evening of chatting and catching up hearing loads of stories. We all loved it. Great craic. Had a fun night with lots of laughter. Even the Octermocty joke when down a treat. One night not enough in Oban but that's what we have, so ready to set off in the ...
Leaving the lovely Isle of Skye
... a parking place and a decent cafe for a spot of dinner.
Heading back towards Fort William I was determined to make a stop at Genfinnan, both to see the 'Harry Potter' viaduct and the monument. When it turned out that it was Scottish National Trust-owned so we could park and get in for free, my Yorkshire-ness was fully tickled. A whole group of people were stood at the foot of the car park overlooking a rather insipid view of the viaduct, waiting it seemed for a train ...
Day 9 - Oban
... I'd love to do that someday. I'd love to visit many of the Islands of Britain. We stayed that night at a B&B called the Glenrigh Guest House. Sandra and I shared a room. It was very comfortable, but oddly decorated. Very genteel with a melange of various ages of decor - Aunt Mabel would have been thrilled. One interesting feature was the decanter of Drambuie and sherry glasses on the dresser. Of course there was the obligatory hot ...
A beautiful Sunday on the Isle of Iona
... and therein lies part of its charm. We could spend only two nights, but we were happy that we could be here on a Sunday and attend the church service at the Iona Abbey.
The service was simple, ecumenical, and beautiful. The cantor rehearsed us on a few simple chants beforehand and then ascended to the balcony, where she improvised on the ...
On to Iona
... we reached Fionnphort it was pouring. There we found a surprise: we needed lots of coins to park our car, which we could not take on the little Iona ferry. As we counted them out, we feared we might miss the ferry, but we made it, and our next hostess, Sara, was waiting to pick us up after the short ride. At the end of a long day, we settled in with a comforting cup of hot tea.

So glad we didn't pay full price here - we had a voucher for a stay in a hotel somewhere in Scotland. Most of them were in the main cities, so having visited most of them before, we opted for this one, as had never been to Mull, lured by the 'spa' description and pictures on their website...
On arrival, you quickly take a step back in time to the 70's (not a decade I remember, but what I imagine it to be...)
The hotel is really old, the decor included. The bathrooms are clean, but dated. The spa was really good, but needs to be booked in advance for treatments. Didn't like the pool area - it was a bit manky, with hair and stuff...
The place is understaffed - we decided to eat in the bar, as it's not close to much. There was one guy serving the bar - taking orders, serving drinks and serving the food. There were two tables of people next to us who had their food orders switched, as he was attending to too much. When we got our food, I went up and asked for sauce and he said he'd bring it 'in a second' - it hadn't come by the time my boyfriend finished his meal, so he went and asked again, to which the guy serving responded "it wasn't ten minutes ago that she asked" - in all seriousness!
I wouldn't stay here again because I don't normally stay in hotels when travelling independently anyway, this was supposed to be 'a treat', however given the far superior quality of all the B&B's in Mull that we stayed in, there is better to be had than you get from this 'spa hotel' - leave it for the tour groups, and book a B&B instead
