Wild, windy day in Helensburgh

Helensburgh pier


... ok, I guess this is only to be expected at this time of year, and stormy days certainly make for more dramatic photos, but it's possible to have too much of a good thing. I amn't sure just how the holiday season is going to develop this year - we know of several people who are going on a cruise shortly, but these have been booked for several months. I am sure that there will be people taking advantage of special offers and vacation deals - but I am also hoping that a lot of people visit Scotland to take part in the Homecoming 2009 events. At present it's impossible to gauge.

Despite the uncertainty, we've had a reasonably good start to the year at MacGillivray's Scottish Gifts - and part of that is down to the efforts we made to market our business over the last twenty years. Every now and again someone turns up from a far-flung corner of the world and says "Hey, it's great to see your still here and we made a special trip just to see you!" ... It's the greatest compliment we could get.

... we'll maybe see you sometime in Helensburgh?? I hope so.

Best
Margaret
