You recommend a visit to the Isle of Skye, and you speak of food??! Sweet t'underin' jayzus!! I'm definitely on the wrong list. Any town with a distillery in the highlands of Scotland has a cute little hotel that serves decent meals. No hot dogs, though a liberal supply of haggis is available to all. (Stay away from Robbie Burns malt though. Schrechliches stoffe!) Allen's pub on the Danforth forever, Walter C. Okshevsky, Master Noser and Note-Taster Specializing in Dark Chocolate After-taste Dundee Society for the Elixir of Life Scotland, U.K. P.S. Erin does not wish to "hitchhike around." Either alone or with a friend. This ain't the 70s anymore. Quoting Andreas Ramos <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > Little Scottish towns are very little. You'll be lucky if it has a hotdog > stand.
