Loop around Scotland

 "And now, for my next trick..." I flight-planned a counter-clockwise loop around Scotland, a trip totaling 869 nautical miles (NM), starting and ending at Oban, with stops at 14 other airports. Most of the flight legs were so short, that it didn't make sense to get above 10,000 feet, so I got to enjoy the scenery, and the usual low level puffy clouds, for most of the route. 

I've included a snapshot from each leg of the trip, and plan to add more comments, when I come back to this...

The itinerary for this adventure, which took me a leisurely two weeks, looks like this:

EGPU - Tiree, Argyll and Bute
EGPI - Islay, Argyll and Bute
EGEC - Campbeltown, Argyll and Bute
