I am feeling a little bit nervous to be honest if it was just me and the other half going it wouldnt be so bad but to take 3 kids on the train to glasgow is bothering me a little bit, i know some people will find this daft.

Having not had a holiday in three years (my friends here on the org will remember what last summer was spent doing!) we have booked two weeks in the Azores. Sorry, guys.... I did my best at selling the delights of two weeks touring the lovely counties of North Scotland (just trying to avoid falling into the Councils trap of referring to them as the Highlands ;)). I'll try again next year... or maybe just come up on my own!

Kids love trains.

The worst bit is from Wick/Thurso to Inverness, it gets better after that. You'll probably have to change stations in Glasgow but there are taxis and I think there's a shuttle bus. I can check if you like. It's less than an hour from Glasgow to Ayr by train.
