Arrived. -- Sourcerer @56.0666,-3.6328 10:06, 10 August 2012 (GMT+01:00)

This was not my favourite kind of expedition. Drive on busy roads for ages to stand in a damp wheat field. I would not have bothered except this was a new graticule and I might never get to Scotland again in my lifetime. It's 1000 km away so not really ideal for a day trip. I'm in Scotland for the wedding of some good friends and making the best of the few days I'm staying.
