Shit man, thats way out in the sticks eh?
I know some people who live down in Campbelltown, they are closer to Belfast than they are to Glasgow (the nearest Scottish city)

My brother lived in Loch Goilhead for a bit about 12 years ago. A beautiful corner of the world

I guess the closest would be Nevis Range or Glencoe. Not a kick in the arse away as the crow flies but all them roads out there are the small country kind, more twisted than a bowl of ramen, probably take a little while to get anywhere

coupla nights ago, had about a dozen Loch Fyne oysters. Saw the name and got me thinkingof this cottage, so I ordered. Nice.

Good balance between creamy and a nice fresh spicey finish.. nice.

Glencoe is about 2 hours away. But I have given up trying to ski in Scotland.

you bet your life on it Bags, the wet climate makes it prime breeding grounds for the Haggis. West Coast Haggis is some of the biggest and juiciest Haggi around! Just have to catch the slippery buggers first!! wink

Friend up in northern Hokkaido, 30 minutes drive from the nearest large village. Very remote up there from the looks of things, not too many mountains either which surprised me.

Yep, they are black and white striped, and have legs that are minutely tapered to fit the contours of the hill that they live on enabling them to move around the hill easier. They are very localised creatures that keep themselves hidden from sight.

That sounds like a mongrel Haggis, not a pure breed I'm afraid and as such their tender meat can actually be dangerous to your health!!

The brighter the stripes, the healthier the Haggis! biggrin
