Hamish Smith is one of the original microlight pilots in the West of Scotland and flies a Pegasus XLR. This story takes place in the West Coast and visits many of the islands off the Coast. The flight was to raise funds for Hamish's daughter to take part in a "Raleigh International" Expedition which she subsequently completed. Visit Hamish's story and let Hamish and his daughter tell you all about it!!
