    Now that is something to be proud of. A great grandfather who was a real fit man and dedicated to his job. And a grandfather who fought in the war and returned to gospel preaching on the streets. Wow.

    If that were my ancestor, I would definitely want to run part of that route.

      I can't run but I feel similarly... I'd want to at least try hiking along the loch... just to get a sense of it. So impressive.

      @Juna Wallace I was imagining Donald McKenzie running that terrain, with his heavy mail sack, in all the rain, wind, sleet and snow. I'm guessing also that he would have regular lodgings along his route. Remarkable history of the Poolewe region.
