The young Whooper Swan is alone and swimming along the shoreline again this morning. News travels quickly and dog walkers keep their companions on the lead while they pass by.
A section of the new path that leads across the grass to the recently installed statue statue has been roped off. Presumably they've had to reIay some of the paving slabs. I still think the statues too small and could do with a taller pedestal but it seems to fit into the landscape between the grandstand and the Martyrs Monument.
How about this as a place to get away to ? :https://kyle.scot/

The spider cake looks a good choice, and less over loaded with alarming food colouring than several of the other offerings!
Kyle Cottage looks interesting.
Polling 1000 Americans annually for a decade doesn't seem a very intense survey.
The sponge inside, which I've just tasted, is a 9/10.
You're right. Anyone who can remember the Cuban missile crisis - no matter how vaguely - will wonder if people are more worried today.
Kyle Cottage on the wild North Atlantic would be a lovely place to escape the worries of today.
I would love to book the Kyle Cottage next year for a couple of nights as a delightful spot to try to see the Northern Lights. But since they don't post their price, I understand that it is out of my range. Alas.
