Brief response to the two gentlemen (one from North Yorkshire and one from Blaydon).......
Sorry if I have misused this instrument. I had thought my views were solicited. If I have violated 'policy', I am sorry and apologize. It was unintentional.
I WOULD drop by more frequently if I could. Quite a number of personal circumstances make that difficult, among them the first 5000 miles. In the old days, we lived in Buckinghamshire and regularly hiked in the Cairngorms, making Smailholm wonderfully convenient.
I did NOT know about the 4.5 quid admission. But I loved that place so very very much, it would have made no difference whatsoever. In res gustibus, non disputandem est. I note however that my tastes and expectations are not necessarily the norm.
In any event, let's keep the record clear. I am not 'let down' by Smailholm. It is YOU who apparently feel that way. I am the world's leading expert on "what I feel". You are highly disadvantaged in contending with me on that subject. I LOVED the place and am grateful to Visit Scotland for preserving it.
Remember, too, though I speak pure "Yank", I am a Scot.I love to sit alone, far from the crowd, cold and wet from the rain.
