Bill & Hamish's holiday to the wilds of Scotland


Hi, it’s Bill here in my Scottish disguise as Dougall – don’t you think my hat and hair make me look rather dashing?
Hamish is currently resting after his busy holiday (too many late nights and dodgy women), so I am grabbing this opportunity to tell you what we got up to in the wilds of Scotland and Orkney.
We drove up to see Bev’s parents, then went to the racing at Cowdenbeath and Knockhill, which was brilliant fun. We took our Jimmy wigs and reflective vests in case we had to be Scottish track marshals, but they were well organised, so we just watched the racing instead.
We then travelled over to Orkney in a massive ferry, with stunning views of the Old Man of Hoy, and stayed for a week in Stromness.
We had a great time in Orkney, which is a great place for bears with lots of open spaces for running around, lots of wildlife to chase, and lots of Orkney fudge (yummy). Anyway, the humans enjoyed themselves as well, going to see all the archaeological remains and enjoying the scenery. So, all in all, a great holiday for humans and bears!
No doubt Hamish will be back to tell you more about our holiday and share some of his photographs with you, but until then, this is Bill (aka Dougall) signing out.
