This one's for Mhairi
My daughter has a passion for Highland cows so this one's for you Mhairi.
But please note - Fur coats are not necessary on the Mull of Kintyre since there's a wee stream called the Gulf Stream closeby the Mull.
From the same Kintyre web site that gave us the Highland coo we are reminded that -
"Kintyre is a golfers paradise with two 18 holes courses and 3 nine hole courses in the one small peninsula. Access to the courses is easy and green fees are low.
The 18 hole courses are at Machrihanish and Dunaverty (Southend), with the 9 hole courses being at Carradale, Tarbert and on the Island of Gigha"
And we're also told the gardens of Gigha are a great sight and proof of the presence of the Gulf Stream.
