What???? We need gas?
New adventure: don't look for gas on Sunday in the highlands, The church doesn't allow any sales. Great. We are on a low tank but it is a diesel. We have gotten advice to head to a town called Ullapoole, hopefully there will be gas. We have been driving for five days on this tank of gas. We have seen spectacular views are still taking pictures, eating great food and enjoying each others company. Today we went to the Inverewe Gardens, a 12,000 acre estate. The gardens were fabulous. Almost like heaven for me and I will have to have just a flower album. We saw SCOTCH pines in the gardens which is a big deal. All scotch pine forests of Scotland have been cut years ago and they replanted spruce. The forestry commission is trying to use the rare Caladonia seeds to start again. Everything here is given to the national trust of Scotland because the big estates are too expensive to pay taxes on.
We have seen lots of sheep crofts, and more highland cattle. The area of Gairloch to Ullapoole Is a hiking and camping haven.
