Me too but I wanted to say Ask Gasp. Obviously clueless!

Naive, maybe. I've never been to Tiree but I think it's probably very different from Arran. The ferry problem is affecting the entire west coast, though.

I've never been to Tiree either. I'm told it's beautiful but the furthest west I've been in the UK is Mull. I don't really remember it but I think it rained.
I remember going on holiday to the north of mainland Scotland in the summer and the days were very long. They're probably very short in winter.

One of my happiest memories ever is of attending the St Magnus Festival in Orkney years ago. In particular, stepping out of St Magnus Cathedral after midnight (following a choral concert given by The Sixteen) into full daylight. Utterly magical.

Isn't that about as far north as Bergen?

The distance from Edinburgh to John o' Groats is approximately 273 miles (439 km) by road.
Driving Distance and Time
The most common way to travel is by car, covering a road distance of about 273 miles (439 km), which typically takes around 5 hours and 23 minutes depending on traffic conditions and route choice.

I did smile at the 'Berwick is in England', because although it is, it is pretty close to Edinburgh. I think it's very nearly as north as Glasgow,.

Orkney is pretty-much level with Stavanger: Orkney, 58.98 N and Stavanger 58.97 N. (I know this only because my son moved to Stavanger and we had a discussion about it.) Bergen is a couple of degrees or so further north and someone else can look up its lat and long if they feel like it.

Thanks. Don't look back in Stavanger... I've been to Bergen. 60°23′22″N 5°19′48″E
5 hours from Stavanger!
Mind so blown I forgot to listen to TA.

There's all those frilly bits between Stavanger and Bergen, after all.

Are they going to pair off Carol and Bert? I can see them becoming a splendidly disruptive couple of manipulative and demanding troublemakers.

Aren't they all jagged and a bit wet? It looked a fairly straight route.

They'll pair them off - every village needs nonagenarian troublemakers.

By train it's 161km and costs between €8 and €14.

Of course, you could always go via Oslo....

What misdemeanours could Bert and Carol get up to?
