Aww that's a lovely wee story, Foxy! Oban is indeed a lovely place. Never been to Skye, but our islands are gorgeous. Next time you are up this way, try and get to Mull, then Iona. 60 kings are buried there, apparently - and the sand is white, and the sea is clear turquoise. No better place in the world. ( I don't live there sadly)
