  1. Surprised that the Christmas tree pretty much survived it (only the top looks slightly bent) considering all the other damage, or was that put up again?

  2. Hi Armin - I think it survived - amazing really... Most of the Christmas trees on the Rhinns were taken down the night before - which turned out to be a very wise move. The tree in Bowmore stayed up too though - although it was at a rather odd angle the following day...
    Cheers - Carl
