    Unhappy Hamish - The Highland Bull

    I was outside Callander in the Trossachs on Easter Monday when I passed through Kilmahog, the traffic was crazy, I don't know where the cars were coming from, everyone in the world must have been visiting Callander for the bank holiday. Then in Kilmahog I saw the big sign ' Come and see Hamish the Highland Bull', I have to admit until last week I had never heard of Hamish, unfortunately it was gridlock with traffic, I know this sounds unbelievable but I could not stop the car or even attempt to find a car parking space, the traffic was so bad, in the middle of almost nowhere.
    So I did'nt get to see Hamish - the X-Markers favourite Highland Bull

    But you were still driving in an area with spectacular scenery, so all was not lost.

    Talking about Hamish, I wonder how his computer problems are coming along?
