Castle Kennedy brings back memories as I used to fly in there firstly in a Baron 55 and then a crusader 303! Most weeks for nearly a year.

There used to be a titled gentleman who met us with bad back problems not old either. I remember him flat on his stomach on the runway trying some exercises I recommended to him

Personally having flown Ireland and all these areas I would make the flying trip north past Prestwick over the islands and then along Loch Ness to Inverness.
Even head up to Skye or stop off at one of the other islands en route.
Low level along Loch Ness! Amazing !!!

I did this in a twin at no more than 500 feet agl! It was a trip that stuck in my mind for the shear beauty,I also had a low time training female co pilot along on the trip and equally stunningly beautiful
