August, 1995 Jonathan Brind		INDEX
At Gairloch we went walking in some gardens which are a bit like Kew Gardens. This part of the North West Coast of Scotland is supposed to benefit from warm weather thanks to the Gulf Stream, which runs up the coastline here keeping the water warmer. That's the theory and certainly they do seem to have lush vegetation, but when we paddled in the sea the water seemed to be extremely cold. Colder than you'd find it in Norfolk in November.
