“Like ships, that sailed for sunny isles,

“On a favourite way to spend a day in Scotland: One of Scotland's great experiences is sailing into Tobermoray after a week long cruise down the western isles. It is a bit like sailing into Manhatten on the QEII and seeing all the skyscrapers but after Stornoway, Skalpy Harris and Barra, Tobermoray is more impressive.”
