Fleeting Visits to (some) Scottish Islands and other Places of Interest
Following my Flying Visits to Scotland's Airports and Islands and Grand Tour of (much of) Scotland's Northern Coasts &Central Highlands, the possibly temporary easing of Covid-19 restrictions, after what seemed like an unending lockdown, encouraged me to start again my endeavours to visit those islands and other places of interest in Scotland that I had not previously visited or had given less attention than they deserve. This is not a guidebook! Places of interest visited are selective, not comprehensive. Do not expect recommendations of where to go, how to get there, where to stay and eat, and what to do when you get there. That is the province of D&K, Lonely Planet, Rough Guides etc. As well as an account of my tours, flights and visits, it contains snippets of history, geography, wildlife and, hopefully, amusing or poignant human stories. It also contains snippets of my family history, which drove one of the trips. It is essentially an account of the ramblings, in body and mind, of one individual - me.

High Tea and the Low Down
When American Claire Craig Evans married a charming British man, there was a cost for the snappy banter and countless offers of tea: she had to uproot life as she knew it and relocate to the UK.Who wouldn't want to move to an enchanted island where mysterious women with dewy complexions made jam in thatched cottages with millennia-old lichen attached?Sure, experienced American expats offered nuggets of wisdom ("Bring over a lifetime supply of taco seasoning!") but they weren't even mild comfort as Claire tried to avoid death, jail, and wayward sheep while learning to navigate zebra crossings and drive on the "wrong" side of the road. The allure of a jet-setter lifestyle vanished as fast as Air India sent her Samsonite to Delhi instead of London Heathrow. Would more tea help her figure out how long she'd been wearing the single pair of underwear in her possession? (That was the jetlag talking. They do have underwear in the UK, too.)Appealing to fans of Bill Bryson and Bridget Jones alike, High Tea and the Low Down is a keenly-observed memoir full of laugh-out-loud moments as Claire experiences the reality of English living. If she couldn't even pass a pub quiz, how would she ever pass the infamous Life in the UK test, the high-stakes hurdle required to stay on British soil (and with her husband) indefinitely?
Grand Tour of (much of) Scotland's Northern Coasts & Central Highlands
The arrival of Covid-19 at the turn of 2019-20 put paid to any travel until July 2020. My planned cruise out to St Kilda and some of the Hebridean islands with Noble Caledonia was cancelled as the lockdown began and although, for a while, it looked as if my replacement cruise with Majestic Line in late July might just go ahead, it too was cancelled. By that time, I had made some hotel bookings and a provisional arrangement to fly from Plockton to Skye and so I decided to travel right up the west coast, visiting places I had meant to visit but never before managed. It turned into a tour around (most of) the northern coasts of Scotland and a run back down through the Central highlands.
A Short Description of a Long Journey
John Taylor, the Water Poet, was an early tourist to Wales. As with some of his other works, the journey was paid by subscription: a proposal would have been submitted and, when enough subscribers had contributed advance payments to defray his travel expenses, the author would have undertaken the journey. In the present volume, the author travels to Chester, and thence round the coast of Wales, with a small detour over the Menai Strait to visit Beaumaris. His account is very brief, and one does wish he had described what he saw in greater detail, but what he wrote was exceedingly interesting, and, as he passes through Flint, Holywell, Rhuddlan, Bangor, Harlech, Aberystwyth, Carmarthen, and so on, he gives us a glimpse of what this then inaccessible country was like in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. The terrain was, as might be expected, rugged and difficult, and at times it forced him to not only to alight from his horse, but crawl on all fours. A royalist, his hosts were typically gentlemen, but he was not always treated politely, on one occasion ending up on a muddy field, facing the prospect of a wet and uncomfortable night under the clouds. First published in 1653 to subscribers only, this short relation remained the rarest of his works, and even after republication 1859, this latter edition was limited to just 26 copies. And while modern reprints of the latter exist, the present is the first proper new edition in over 160 years.
