My 'Strip the Willows' days are over Cherrytree especially as it was the Orcadian version!! A rather more sedate Gay Gordons with the 10 year old grandson is more in my line these days.
It's certainly worth visiting that part of the country.....very unique. Could you not drive it in stages Jane? There are flights as well.

Well. katek I'm 
Somewhere else to add to my bucket list!
Have your feet recovered yet
from all that 'Gay Gordons' and 'Strip the Willow'? 
Will google it. Its annoying how car sick I get. That usually puts the kibosh on going very far up North.
That looks and sounds fabulous, just my sort of place! Lucky you
Stunning location for what sounds to have been a very happy occasion.
Am I unique in not infrequently feeling a let-down after such occasions? I would have expected to have grown out of that by now 
Just home from big family wedding in extreme north of Scotland. Service was held in same church that Queen Mother used to worship in when she stayed at Mey. We stayed in a wonderful 15th century tower house hotel right on the coast, looking out of the window from the bed was like being at sea!! (Pic attached) The young couple were so happy, there was such a feeling of linking with the past in the church-how many young couples said their vows in that spot? It was a wonderful day and the weather gods were relatively kind! Even passed within 100 yards of Prince Charles who was at the local Games! Very discreet armed police presence spotted in fields though! We're now limp, washed out with suitcases full of washing. Had a lovely time though.
