Ullapool trip

So the other day Stewart Kelly and Allan Neave and I all headed to Ullapool for the annual Ullapool guitar festival. It was good fun and we played our show on the Sunday, chinese takeaway and football/iphone/Tolstoy on Saturday.

Friday highlights included Edradour 10yo, Highland Park 12yo, Highland Park independent bottling cask strength 57.1%, Bunnahabain 12yo, Glenfiddich 12yo, Mortlach 1971 distillation, Auchentoshan threewood, Glengoyne 10yo, Balvenie 15 year old, Tennants and  Gooseberry Grozet.

High jinks particularly surreal (though not as surreal as 6:21 onwards  of this interview, gotta love good ol BoJo).

First night was pub, the Ceilidh Place. It was very nice and we sampled the above whiskies in careful moderation. Then Stewart and I went for a walk while Allan had a nice refreshing lie in. We had chinese take away that night. Concert was next day so warmup was probably a good idea that morning, but we had to dash shortly after to get back to Glesga so unfortunately missed Hugh Burns’ playing… The ride back was nice cos the countryside of this Caledonia is the real beauty, no city is the true destination. We stopped at the House of Bruar (who have irritatingly started posting me catalogues, no idea why) to get some cake and then, after passing Loch Katrine, arrived back in Glasgow
