Hello all I would to let you all know that mike and the family have arrived in Scotland Ok on the start of their holiday. This is Myself and Mike at the meeting point. By neil6147, shot with <Digimax V800 / Kenox V20 / Digimax V20 > at 2007-07-14 I hope mike does not mind me submitting this one of himself and the family at the meeting point. By neil6147, shot with <Digimax V800 / Kenox V20 / Digimax V20 > at 2007-07-14 After we left the meeting point I asked Mike to follow me over to the north side of the Forth Bridge on the back roads away from the main roads. So we tok them over to the Forth Bridge via the village of Old Craighall, Millerhill, Newton Village, Danderhall then we just touched Gilmerton on the south side of Edinburgh. Then over to the A720 City Bypass west bound to Hermiston Gaite and Newbridge. Then headed to Kirkliston and Dalmeny then we stopped at South Queensferry to allow them to take photos of the Forth Road and Rail Bridge from a very very good point which I know. Think Mike would agree the locals might not be happy with touring coaches stopping at this location to take photos every day. Then we took them over the Forth Bridge and let Mike and the family head north to their well earned over night rest before heading further north. We then headed down into North Queensferry to Deep Sea World with Andrew and let him see the big fish. We hope that Mike and the family enjoy their holiday. And also enjoy their little gifts from Scotland. Plus hope they enjoyed the drive on the roads we know to avoid waiting in traffic hold ups. Andrew and Christine also says they enjoyed meeting Mike and his family. I shall let Mike do a report when he get back home. Neil

We got a txt message on my mobile phone to last night from Mike to let us know that he and his family have arrived in Talmine up in the north of Scotland. And that the weather is also being very kind to them. We wish them a great holiday and hope the weather stays good for them.
