Here we go again

Setting off to Perth (as in Perth and Kinross) to help facilitate a training event.  The flight was fine and all went well until I got a bit lost near the hotel in Scone when the satnav in the rental car directed me up a cart track.  It was getting dark and, having bumped slowly up the potholed track I ended up in what looked like a farmyard.  Motion triggered lights suddenly blazed and it felt as if someone might poke a shotgun out of a window at any moment and take a pot at me!  I retreated slowly back down the track and found the hotel entrance just a few hundred yards further down the main road.  Speaking to the hotel staff later it turned out that, had I held my nerve and kept going up the track, I would have arrived about a minute later at the hotel via the back entrance.  The "farmyard", it appears, is actually the place where they store all the equipment for maintaining the golf course!
