On the way to "Whisky Island"
They say Glasgow (s)miles better.
And hopefully a lot better than the last time I was there.
Mind you that was a wee while ago.
I'm going to pass on through Glasgow.
Give the Ayrshire courses a miss and head for a trip "doon the water".
Glaswegians who say they are "Goin' doon the water" are informing you that they are going to take a pleasurable sail usually on a MacBrayne's boat from Gourock to Dunoon and sometimes further "doon the water" to a place called Tighnabruaich
Try and say that place name if you've had a few wee drams while goin' doon the water.
Here's the map of where we're heading.
All the way from Gourock on the Clyde to "Whisky Island". Otherwise known as The Isle of Islay with a wee stopover at "The Mach"(Machrihanish).
But first a round (of golf-not wee drams yet) at Gourock.
Here's a fabulous photo taken from the 9th tee
The course boasts spectacular views of the River Clyde, "Doon the water" and the Argyllshire Hills
