FEW of the 5,000 or so people who thronged the site beside Inveraray Castle for Best of the West can have failed to have a good time.
There was little excuse for not making the most of quality live music, quality food and drink. And, as for the arts and crafts, well they were exceptional. The children’s entertainment was great, if the excited knots of face-painted butterflies and pussycats were anything to go by.
The weather helped, of course, and it might have been a different festival altogether had the day-long torrential rain witnessed on Friday carried into the weekend, as many forecasters had predicted.
