Photographs van Scotland, autumn 2006

Photographs van Scotland, autumn 2006

This time we are going to Scotland again with our own car because we have more than 3 weeks. This year we spend a lot of time in Argyll on the west coast of Scotland, just north of Glasgow. But we must also regularly visit a garage for car problems. And Elisabeth visits the hospital a few times with an acute bladder infection, caused by the cold in our tent near Dunoon. The weather is not as good as we had in recent years and then, just when we go back, it gets tropical hot, really holiday weather.
Here all all the photographs of this journey that we use on the website.
