    I need luggage, and its not cheap. I thought about making my own frames, only you know how it goes, by the time you buy the tubing ,weld it, powder coat it, etc.

    Nice mid-Summer picnic photo mate.
    What is it with Scottish cowboy builders? The country's littered with shoddy workmanship.

    probably one of the most photographed castles in Scotland,most people think it was built centuries ago,infact the rebuild was completed less than 80 years ago! before then almost nothing was left of the original castle

    A tautology! (Oh eff he’s back)

    Eilean Donan means ‘Small castle islet’ so no need for an extra ‘castle’. A dun is a fortified place/castle. Given the Brexit brouhaha over Gibraltar you might think it ironic that Spain sent troops to the area in 1719 in support of the Jacobites and were comprehensively defeated by a mix of warships and redcoats before the castle was fully ‘slighted’ to render it useless as a base.
