City life is for work but it’s at the weekend that we make memories. This is adventurer Ramsay MacMahon’s philosophy.
This weekend Ramsay escapes the big smoke for the north of Mull. He drives a stretch of hairpin bends which form part of the Mull Rally. The event was the first in the UK granted permission to close public roads, by an Act of Parliament.
Then it’s to colourful Tobermory where he helps out on a family-run dairy farm. He milks a cow for the first time in his life and finds out about the family business producing Hebridean cheeses.
The next day it’s further north and west across the Sound of Mull on the ferry to Ardnamurchan. Ramsay makes a pit stop at the community-run garden for honesty box veg before visiting the lighthouse at Britain’s most westerly point on the mainland.
Tha seachdain-obrach a’ bhaile airson saothair, ach se saoghal eile a tha san deireadh-sheachdain: co dhiù sin feallsanachd Ramsay MacMahon is e falbh gu dàna an tòir air cleasan beòthail.
Tha e an-diugh a’ cuir cùl ri Glaschu airson ceann a tuath Mhuile. Feuchaidh e a sgilean dràibhidh air na rothaidean carach lùbach air am bi Rally Mhuile ga chumail – a’ chiad tachartas dhe sheòrsa riamh am Breatainn a fhuair cead rothaidan poblach a dhùnadh, tro Achd Pàrlamaid.
Gu taighean shoilleir Thobarmhoire an uairsin, far am bi e a’ cuideachadh air tuath bhainne: a’ chiad uair riamh aige a’ bleoghain bà! Agus gheibh e mach mar a tha iad a’ dèanamh càise.
Cùrsa dhan iar-thuath an ath latha, air an aiseag gu Àird nam Murchain. Gheibh e taghadh glasraich ann an gàrradh na coimhearsnachd, mus ruig e an taigh-solais, aig gob an rubha is fhaide an iar air tìr-mòr na h-Alba.
