What are the practical problems faced by disabled people who prefer to try an ordinary package holiday instead of travelling with a group similarly handicapped? A special report from Barney Wilson , himself disabled, in Portugal's Algarve.

John Carter looks at some of these, set amidst the holiday delights of The Trossachs.
