IRON HEART World Tour II 2011-2012 - Beatle Buster SBG

[Simon]

This week the traveling Busters have taken me to bonny Scotland.

The Forth bridges from South Queensferry

THE BEST ice cream & pizza anywhere outside Italy, and you can find it in Largs, Scotland, who knew?

I can give the Grapefruit sorbet my personal seal of approval 

[rocket]

very nice, looks like you had a good time!

[madmonday]

[Beatle]

grapefruit sorbert , woah, sounds super extra delicious

Yeah. Just about to go to bed and thats all I can think about damn you!!!

[Max Power]

cool update again. Anyway, If I was in scotland, I wouldn't waste my money on Icecream when there's whisky to be had.

@Giles:

On the basis that Tuesday can't get her trousers on, I think that's a given…...

& grapefruit sorbert . . .  . i am not convinced, get some dry ice & ship a pint out to the states 

[Geo]

Cheers Geo. Will have to try the fish & chips next time

[Geo]

Cheers to you Simon for posting - let me know next time and we could meet

The chippy I mention gets their fish from a single trawler (the seagull) all sourced the way Hugh fearnly-wearnly asked them to

[Simon]

On my way over to Islay from Largs just before the Portavadie ferry you pass this amazing view of the Kyles of Bute. In "Notes from a Small Island" Bill Bryson describes the view from this look out point as "probably the best in the world", these photos don't do it justice!

On to Islay for a distillery pilgrimage.

Bowmore

Lagavulin

The Cellar Masters tour at Lagavulin with the world renown Ian McArthur. He's been working here for over 40 years, an amazing font of knowledge. Do this tour before he retires!

Laphroaig

Laphroaig did a promotion some years ago: a free sqft of land on Islay with every bottle. They invite you to go out and "claim" your land when you visit. I now have somewhere on Islay to put my [Iron Heart] hat 

On to Ardbeg

I could have got seriously wasted today, unfortunately due to my need to drive, I had to decline or pour most of the free Whisky away

[Beatle]

[Simon]
