Any Scottish Mac owners out there or has anybody sailed their Mac in Scotland? (Coastal or Lochs etc)

Balu,

Scotland and its islands are an ideal cruising ground for Macgregors, mainly in Summer of course. The UK MacGregor Owners Association has just had a week's rally around the Clyde lochs. Many of the attendees trailed up to Scotland from Southern England and thought the rally was well worth the long drive. There are many other Mac owners located in Scotland and the outer islands, so you may get some more local info from them. (I am a sassenach! from England)

Cheers

Balu-
Folks ,
When you move will ya drop me off at Skye? I do have to check in with the Clan (MacDonalds) before I take the Clyde to Glasgow. From there it's off to the Highlands. Maybe we can do a wee dram!
Best of luck to you in the other GREEN CELTIC Land.

Hello Balu from Calgary Alberta! Canada. I'm not from Scotland but my mother is a Farquharson and my heart is in the highlands! I have a 2001x named Ceilidh ( I'm sure that you would know how to pronounce it but for everyone else it is Kay-lee which is a scottish concert/party/gettogether). Interesting to see these boats are all over the world and that I won't be the only one listening to the skurl of the pipes over the waves. Happy sails!
