It was just what we needed to wind down. Not everyones cup of tea as the nearest pub was a 6 mile walk away. 
Really? I had no problem getting through the gap. 
We never visited Kilmartin this time but have before. Kilmory Knap chapel lies at the end of the road that runs the length of Loch Sween. Well worth a visit next time you happen to be in the area.
How expensive is 'quite expensive'? 
Thanks for the heads up. I didn't even know there was a Carrefour so close to the centre. ^
Yes having said that I would like to try it again on the EDI-MAD sector when I'm more compos mentis. Judging it for the first time when half asleep after a long journey was probably not fair.
Glad to see you visited Kilmartin (not Kilmory) with its carved headstones, etc. The glen below the church is a remarkable place, with hundreds of prehistoric monuments and sites - standing stones, stone circles, burial cairns, etc. It's sobering to look upon the valley floor and think about how it's been inhabited for thousands and thousands of years. An eerie and unforgettable place.

Nice report HIDDY and great pictures of Scotland. A work colleague today said he has flown the new IB seat recently and he said he found them slightly claustrophobic. They appear to be quite spacious though from your pics. Did you get that feeling?

If he was in an odd row numbered window seat on the A340 then those are the ones closest to the window. The one I tried out was fine but I'm not a big chap and wasn't in it that long.

I do remember leaving a half-eaten pie and some raw eggs in a cave up there.
Ten years old, couldn't get the water to boil though we were able to get a fire lit.

Great trip report HIDDY. It's nice to see photos on Iberia metal and the lounge at EZE (I want to go there next year).
Lots of other beautiful pictures too. Thanks for writing this up.

We did thanks. ^
Yes the IB product suits us fine....even better now with the new seat. Big plus for me is the dayflight back to EZE.
They haven't a clue what I'm talking about.
Thanks headingwest....glad you liked it.

Great TR - thanks Hiddy. Did you visit the distillery in Dalwhinnie by any chance? Impressed by IB business class ^ and looks like you lucked out on the longhaul configuration 767. Great cottage too. Glad to see your sausages looked properly cooked
