Glasgow pit-stop

After a painfully early start, time out in Glasgow to wander around waiting for the shops and museum to open.

Then onto the Oban train with some of the best views of a beautiful Scotland you are likely to see from a train window.

Got talking to a retired couple from Dubbo who were surprised to find out I had been there and knew of their zoo. They were touring Great Britain on a go-anywhere rail-pass with a laptop and hand-luggage. Got me thinking this was a great idea and how easy it can be now if you have the time.

But the 4pm Oban ferry beckons over to Mull.
