About this deal

To the south east of Bonnybridge is a well preserved section of the Antonine Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the remnants of Rough Castle Fort, the most complete of the surviving Roman forts of the wall. It was an incredible experience to stand there and gaze out at the same mountains they would have seen every day of their lives.

As illustrated by Luke Blackburn, Glidelia, and George Kinney, his best nick was with Lexington mares; Bramble's second dam was also by Lexington.Many other travellers were in the same position and we were just super lucky that we were booked into the hotel which was the only place within cooeee to get dinner that night! Several people told us that the west coast is more rugged and beautiful, but because we did not plan far enough ahead, accommodation on the western side was limited. Also at Glenfinnan is the poignant monument that commemorates the Highlanders who died during the Jacobite uprisings. In global culture and language, few phrases are as evocative and imbued with a sense of place as "Bonnie Scotland".

During our fascinating visit, discover how life was lived, upstairs and downstairs, aboard this floating palace.After a fantastic week of being spoilt by my sister and with my cup full I packed up for the last time and headed to London and the long flight home. I am glad that I was able to discover that contemporary dance is definitely not for me without ever having to leave my house! Tamas and Mysie were kenspeckle at Thistle games, she cleeking him tenderly and he droolingly proud of her rosy-cheeked bonniness. Shieldaig lodge in Gaerloch was gorgeous – set in a 26000 acre estate tucked away down a meandering road adjoining the bay it had a tranquility that comes from having been there since the early 19th century.

Glasgow was gritty but vibrant and we spent an afternoon at The Pot Still – an amazing whisky bar in the centre of town with over 800 whiskies available and kilt wearing barmen to boot! But beyond cryptozoology, Loch Ness is surrounded by stunning ruins, chateaus, and a breathtaking wilderness. He covered his first American mares in 1858, including the great racemare, Fashion (for whom the enterprise was named) and who foaled his good colt DANGEROUS in 1859.At the pretty village of Luss, a cruiser awaits to give us the best views of the "bonnie, bonnie banks" as we sail across Loch Lomond to reach picturesque Balmaha. Stan and Ollie mistakenly enlist in the army and find themselves posted to the Northwest Frontier in India on a dangerous mission. Luke Blackburn retired to stud at Belle Meade to replace his sire (who died in 1880), where he died in 1904. So, it is more than welcome that this very funny film can be purchased separately to add to the set. The term 'bonnie' has played a significant role in Scottish literature and music, helping to shape Scotland's cultural identity.
