Have to share this one...I'm at my brother's house last week (also here in Durban, S.Africa) and I was telling him there's this really great channel on KZbin showing all these great places in Scotland to visit and he says "Is it Steve Marsh?" So there you go Steve, you're ubiquitous!

Hi Mark. Many years ago (1987) my wife and I made our first trip to Scotland. We looked at the land area and figured that it was about this size of the state of Indiana. As we border that state and kind of know what’s to see and that we could see it all in three weeks. Like your figuring, that was not hear enough time. I don’t think we’ve have seen even half after three trips. Good luck on your bike trip and may the wind always be behind you

We were chatting with Bob in the cabin before we set off and mentioned we’d seen it on your video and he was very appreciative of you - he liked the fact you were genuine people who didn’t try freeloading off them and gave them such a lovely review. One extra bonus we saw which we didn’t expect from the video - the grey seals! Every time we stopped their little heads would come bobbing out the water looking at us from 50-100 yards away. Was such a lovely afternoon. Thank you!
