The cleaners were spotted cleaning the shower tray mats on the chemical disposal unit good eh!
A Coffee at Blair Atholl Castle coffee shop before leaving for Dundee a good drive down stopping for shopping arrived at the campsite at 1300. Lunch then out with the bike before the promised rain arrives. Lovely art work on the café next to Broughty Castle.

27 August 2025 Blair Atholl
Before leaving a cycle into Perth again this morning. Then a good journey up to Blair Atholl campsite calling in at House of Bruer. (10 mins away) Very unusual toilets here only hand basins in the site down cubical and showers only one hook for the towel the rest of the clothes go on shelves. Lovely views from the site 290 pitches on site.
Had a walk down the tree lined avenue to Blair Castle and decided to look round the castle as it’s about 15 years since I was last here it’s just the same.
Back to the site just in time for some very heavy rain. UGH!
Its a while since I have seen one of these ?

In the afternoon had a cycle up into the village of Scone interesting no not the pictures the women who stopped me and asked “WHY are you taking pictures in the graveyard” !!!! Then back to the site for RAIN to appear a lucky day.
The monument is to Robert Douglas.

Next morning cycle to Starbucks then along to Nr Leith docks then back along to Cramond.

There is a sign on the machine that says ALL CASH REMOVED FROM THESE MACHINES DAILY
Another lovely day Camping and Caravanning.
On arrival at this FAST check in site I made my way to the FAST check in lane but was stopped by a warden while they checked my particulars UGH this new system still not working after a few years in use.
Due to the warm weather the insects are BIG on the pitch.
This drinking fountain does not appear very happy must be the water shortage. He He
The phone boxes almost disappear at this time of the year.
NO COMMENT?
A ride up to Edinburgh takes about 30 mins. the longest part all the traffic lights on Princess street had a ride up the royal mile taking photos of all the Fringe events then back down on to George street for a Starbucks.
Called in at M&S to get some new shirts was going to wash them before wearing but no hand washing sinks on the site? Will wait till my next site Caravan and Camping site they still care about the customer (at the moment.
This TENT on wheels looks like it may have a lift shaft.
22/23 August 2025 Berwick/Edinburgh
Usual cycling in town coffee n cake and an evening cycle on the Spittle prom. The motorhome stop at the back of the amusements was very busy tonight.
I like to do the swan thing here sooooo how many swans have no heads ?
A walk into town before leaving for my next stop and noticed even the graffiti does it in the street UGH!
You have to be so careful not to arrive early on these city sites I noticed an old man that had arrived 1 minuet early.

19 August 2025 Berwick
A bad thing about Seaview campsite Seahouses that I did notice a few years ago and had forgot until I was allocated pitch 15 was at 0300 and 0330 in the first morning of my stay there was 2 deliveries dropped of into outside containers across from my pitch(the green bins). The second day a delivery at 0330 and 0630 their was no attempt to do it softly ?
This would be the pitches to avoid.
Slight rain so no cycle so went into a coffee shop in a bakery in Seahouses (been many times before) the problem is it sells 30 different types of Cake ! Walk round the town and harbor before leaving for Berwick.
Good drive up no problems some shopping arriving at 1300 walk up to M&S food hall. The image below is a picture of the view from the van window a good pitch this time.
As the tide goes out I noticed how dirty the beach looks (click Image for BIG)
