Going back to Machrihanish, we spent our honeymoon near there in a charming little country cottage.
One day we were out for a drive, and came across some traffic lights in the middle of nowhere. These were at red, so of course I stopped. Suddenly a jet shot across in front of us, which was a bit of a surprise to say the least.
When the lights turned green, we went forward onto what was the runway. there was a white line in the centre of the "road" which we followed for 100 yards or so along the centre of the runway, then it turned off on the opposite side and then reverted to a normal road again. There was another set of traffic lights on this side of the runway (obviously) for traffic going in the opposite direction.
I've tried to find it on Google maps, but failed. Perhaps they thought mixing cars and fast jets was not a good idea.
Please tell me I'm right in my memories and not imagining it. It was a fair few years ago now.
(Have I really been married that long?)
