THE MULL OF GALLOWAY

We spent a peaceful night in the van by the shore of Clatteringshaw Loch… quite blissful, in fact… and quiet, except for the occasional passing car on the nearby road. In the morning, we discovered an extra bonus to the location; a chemical toilet disposal… it seems The Forestry and Land Commission of Scotland have thought of everything. Not that...
