Scottish Tour - July 2003
This year a few Duttons ventured from England to tour Scotland meeting a few Scottish Duttons at the Ingleston show on route around the Highlands.
1756 miles in a week, spectacular scenery, a lot of fun with open roads, little traffic and no Gatsos. Some great campsites, and some less so, one was right on a cliff on the north coast, unbelievable. The view could easily have been Mediterranean, clean almost white sand and clear blue sea, and pleasantly warm in spite of the wind (gale) blowing.
A great trip.
