Anyone knows if Smidge is available in stores around Scotland? Newcastle, Edinburgh - just to buy right after arrival? And how long can one bottle be used by 2 persons?

Avon skin so soft is best, get some off amazon, works well (as well as anything does), relatively cheap and is good for the skin

Smidge is better than Avon IME (though Avon is good).

It's available in any Tesco in Scotland.

One bottle will last 2 people a fortnight I'd say - but depending of course on how much you use it.

Cheers guys for all the advices

Unfortunately I didn't think of it earlier, so Avon is beyond my reach at the moment. Will give Smidge a try.

Simon, you have captured some really fine images during your trip. My son, Greg is an amateur photographer who has taken some outstanding photographs of the Scottish mountains. We introduced him to the hills as a young lad but never realised how much he had fallen in love with country.

Have a look at his work by searching for Greg Whitton Photo on the net, or Mountainman76 on Twitter. For anyone who simply loves the hills and mountains of England, Scotland, and Wales then his work is worth a peek. I'm very proud of his achievements in the photographic world and will make a point of telling him where to find yours on this site as I think there are a couple that deserve a more critical eye.

A book of his work is to be published in August........plug over

Blatant!

Thanks Alan B

It was really

tasty trip

Will give it a try and send the photo as a proposition - if you say so

Found it Therso! Really great photos there! And colour is right

Seems like ProPhoto RGB is not properly supported by this site

My girlfriend, that became my fiancee during this Scotland trip - in Torridon hotel

, and now is my wife - wants me to create my own site with photos. But I always have no time for it..

As you can see - me - updating this post after almost a year

Some extremely nice photos there Simon.pl and glad you and your wife enjoyed the trip.

Therso - your son is incredibly talented at photography. The photos on his web site are outstanding and you must be very proud of him and his photographic achievements. I would expect to see a larger audience of his work very soon and wonder if he has done, or considered, some film work to add to his portfolio?

Simon,fantastic photos of what looks a fantastic trip....
When I recommended the Torridon Hotel to you over a year ago,I never considered you might actually pop the question there.....to say I am pleased for you both is an understatement .....congratulations

I spent 3 nights there on my honeymoon (20 years ago this year) and it is a special place in a stunning setting....the whisky bar isn't bad either....I think you may have given me an idea for later this year

Congratulations again....
