Ok, slightly less than half a century but not far off..... We used to go up every year in a VW camper for 3 weeks and I loved it. We all did. Can't give any good reason why it took me so long to go back but we just had a fantastic week. Walked up Ben Nevis on a day with clear views and happy walkers. Helped our friend take his yacht from Corpath up Neptune' steps and through to Fort Augustus. And without exception people were friendly, helpful, encouraging. You are a lovely lot.
