we went there for our honeymoon 39 years ago and we go back at least once a year but I've found a nice house with about 1 acre of garden not far from the sea ( handy for seaweed and catching tea ) ... just need the £500k to buy it

thanks Bren and SBP yes I've come to the conclusion its just a marketing ploy ... I'll stick with my arrans and casablanca. But it was interesting

Not just a marketing ploy you old cynic. But unless you can recreate the coastal terroir conditions you won't get the same tasting spuds. Although I do recommend Lady Christl they're very tasty, but that's on our soil.

I've looked at Lady Christl a few times but always ended up with Arran Pilot as thats what my dad grew 60 years ago I tend to grow in large pots these days as it easier for me and I seem to get a rediculous amount in a 30ltr tub and we don't eat that many these days (unless you count Fried or deep fried
