This was the first time the hovercraft had been out since altering the pitch of the thrust prop & repairing two large rips in the skirt, after hitting a large boulder last time out." poor piloting skills on my part"!

Contin (Gaelic: Cunndainn) is a Ross-shire village and civil parish between Strathpeffer and Garve in the Highland council area of Scotland. The church in Contin is dedicated to St Maelrubha or Máel Ruba and is on Contin Island which lies in the Black Water (Conon) and is reached from the rest of the village by two bridges, one foot and the other road.

Tartan is a cloth with a series of colored stripes running the length of the cloth (warp) that is reproduced exactly in the threads across the width of the cloth (weft). The Highland Titles Tartan is reserved for the Lairds of Glencoe and Lochaber to wear. It can be worn proudly to show that the wearer cares about Scotland and is a landowner and laird. Established in 1892 in the beautiful Scottish borders, Lochcarron of Scotland is the world’s leading manufacturer of tartan. Proudly Made in Scotland by skilled craftsmen and women who design, dye, warp, weave, mend and tailor Scottish tartans and textiles, including the Highland Titles tartan. http://tinyurl.com/kiltlength
