Hi Mara

welcome, nice to meet you , xx

Aran distillery is very nice have their own whiskey as well as many others, can do a tour very interesting and they have a wee tasting as well of whatever you choose, could get quite tipsey, lovely grounds to picnic, tour bus took us and dropped us off then picked us up again in time for ferry back to mainland.

Mara ,
Is it just the borders you want to go to ?.
"Abbottsford House "..open to public ..it was once owned by Sir Walter Scott .
Melrose is a lovely tiny village with a ruined Abbey , Robert the Bruce's heart is buried there.

May ,
We did go to a distillary in Tobermory and my OH was disappointed as it was very small ...he is a whiskey man .".Black Bottle "..cannae buy it in England :-((

Not sure where to go, I just wondered if any of you guys had some suggestions, and it seems you have,

Mara

Hi May .
Aye ! ,
there's no arran wool mills on Arran :-(( but I saw some wool on Isle of Iona in a shop ..£2.98 for 50 grm ...whew !!
I did love the ferry crossings.
We saw a black seal on the ferry ramp as we were waiting for the ferry to Iona , it kept honking for fish from a inshore fishing boat in which I gather it knew the fishing men...they did give him/her a good helping of fish ...It was a wonderful sight to watch .

Did the islands two years ago Gemeni when staying in Scotland really enjoyed the ferry hopping and the interesting islands but was dissapointed there were no Aran wool mills or the like to get some genuine Aran wool, but going to the distillery made up for this!

Mara .
I've just come home from the Isles of Mull and Arran , Mull is really beautiful .

Hi Mara .
I live in the borders .
Where is it you would like to visit for a holiday ? as I may be of some help :-))
~Gem~

Holyhead maybe? everywhere in Wales is beautiful.

Have you been to Berwick on Tweed in the border country?


.

Squiggle I have been to Wales, but don't laugh, I can't remember where. I know I was on my way to catch a ferry to Ireland
