Today sees The Colin McRae Forest Stages, part of the Scottish Rally Championship 2008. McRae died a year ago and this is a memorial. Drummond Hill was one of his favourite places. Stupidly, I didn't go up towards Schiehallion today with our Berkshire visitors. I thought I'd leave them to get on with some male bonding, while I had a quiet day here at home. It isn't quiet. These cars could all do with having their exhaust systems checked! Part of the rally takes place on public road. I took this photo when I picked up courage to go and pick up my paper. The dog is fretting. The sheep on Drummond Hill are nowhere to be seen. I wonder where they hide. Many of the big names in the world of rally are paying tribute today and it is an important date in the racing calendar. It is fine by me. I am doing the crossword and look forward to tomorrow when I can snoop around in artists' studios. (Open Studios in Pertshire this coming week.)
