The final morning before heading home

Following this amazing trip I would like to give a mention our superb tour organisers and hotel.

Alan and Ruth of the Biggest Twitch made it a trip perfect in terms of birding, organisation, transport and company. I'd urge any one to look up their latest website for full details about all their trips. The pairs birding knowledge and expertise always adds to your own learning experience. All our meals were taken as a group and we all shared some great laughs throughout.

The Grant Arms Hotel offers a unique wildlife specialist experience. Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel team and it gave every visitor their best chance to see the local wildlife. The hotel had a specialist corridor with maps and guides, a library and a conference room which held talks every evening. My room had a range of local maps, magazines and guides - all very useful.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The phone alarm calls came in handy when getting up at 6 am. The food and service were excellent and the menu offered plenty of local favourites including Haggis. The staff in the restaurant friendly, helpful and the speed of service was very good. The Hotel is well located for visiting the nearby birding sites and has plenty of parking. My room was spacious, bathroom clean with a good shower. £4.20 was a bit expensive for a pint or a whisky but that's hotel prices.
