Music Monday – “Now Campbeltown Loch is a beautiful place/But the price of the whiskey is grim/How nice it would be if the whiskey was free/And the Loch was filled up to the brim”

One of the best things about traveling is the people you meet. I met a young guy from Scotland at the Banff Hot Spring and during our conversation, mentioned my grandmother was born in Campbeltown, Scotland.
