I’m back at the Blair Drummond caravan/camp site for a couple of weeks at the end of October. Travelling across on the 11th, Maggie in for warranty stuff on the 14th - if that matters! - would love to meet up with other Scottish Grenadiers whilst I’m there.

Earlier this year four of us met for coffee on a weekday morning at the Smiddy farm shop. Happy to repeat this, or you would be welcome to join me for a dram at the caravan site? Or lunch somewhere?

Let us know what suits you - weekday/weekend - and what you are up for. Coffee meet? BBQ and drams? Lunch somewhere?

depending on other responses, where would a reasonable mid point be? (Suspect the mileage would still prove eye watering :)

For the Aberdeenshire and Moray crowd (which seems to have a reasonable representation) and to work for Blair Drummond, Braemar might be a fairly central location that works for the Stirling, Perth, Highland group (Possibly). I am currently free for that 11th Date (although that may change) and happy to travel.
In the meantime, travelled back from Orkney today, and not a single other Gren on the road (apart from the other one in Orkney). Route St Margarets Hope, Gills Bay, Inverness, Carrbridge, Grantown O S, Tomintoul, Ballater, West Aberdeenshire.

….11th That’s the day I’m travelling over from Islay! So not good.

This may sound odd, but we’re hoping to pick up a puppy from a so far unspecified location ‘between Inverness and Aberdeen’ sometime that two weeks (long story), so may be passing through your patch :)

Braemar sounds good to me.

That would scoop up a few of us. When you have a date and more specific location, let us know and if I can join, I will.

I’m going to be passing through (?!?!?) Cullen, Friday 18th. October. Picking up a puppy from a breeder there. Any of you nearby? Grab a quick coffee early afternoon?

That might be possible, will know a little closer to the time - Cullen Skink for lunch at Cullen might be an idea.

Blair Drummond, is just up the road, so I would be up for a meet up, Midweek for coffee probably works best. I will see if my mate with the Inky is available once we have a date...we could also visit the Stirling Trailer Centre if time allows.

OK. A plan suggestion: Blair Drummond Smiddy Farm shop, 11am, Wednesday 23rd October.

Does that work?
