Hi Tom,

          Yes it will be for holidays. We are going to Invernahavon (Newtonmore) for a week or so then over to a CL just north of Oban for a few days then back down near Dumfries to another CL for a few more days then home.

We just got back from the Gibson Park site at Melrose and we had 5 nights there.

A great site but try to get a pitch on the left hand side as you drive in. (The Housing Estate side).

The other side is next to the Playing Fields where the occasional ball comes sailing over the fence onto the vans!

Melrose itself has great shops and the Butchers, the Bakers and the Greengrocer is all just 5 mins walk from the site.

Oh and in the Bakers, don't forget to get some Selkirk Bannocks.

Hi Tom,

          Glad you enjoyed Melrose, and the butchers.  We intend to go to Onich following your route after an o/night stop at Lockerbie. After Bunree we are heading up the side of Loch Ness around Inverness then across to the Elgin area for a few days. Then we shall take a short hop back down the A9 to Invernahavon for a week then onto Edinburgh (Roslin) to visit relatives.

FAO Lobbey : Made a note of Selkirk Bannocks. Wife normally goes straight for the Ecclefechan tart from the bakers at Melrose.

For those of you thinking about going that way and not booked yet there is a cracking CL at Dallaculish Farm about 10 miles North of Oban. The views are stunning.
