Scotland! Finally got my tire and made it here. It sure is pretty; much the same as northern England, only bigger! And, it rained on the ride for a while afterward... It's been raining some, but at night while in the tent - no problem at all.  Not going to northern Scotland, and staying out of Glasgow & Edinburgh means I'll ride up the middle and down the west coast, where the ferry for Northern Ireland departs. So I'm coming up on Scotland and stop to check the road sign and its implications for finding the little road I was looking for. There are some strange town names around here, for sure...
