Wonderful video, Eli. Your lovely companions are great fun, too. When you're in Scotland next, go to the huge Loch Ewe (west coast) where you'll find a museum dedicated to the Murmansk convoys of WW2. It was there that the Merchant Navy cargo vessels and Royal Navy warships secretly assembled ready to make the voyage , often in atrocious weather, to your northern port and to Archangel. The dangers and sacrifices of the crews can only be imagined.
