One of our own on PBS

The other morning as I was reading some Burns poetry, something I do most every morning, I decided to turn on the TV. I switched it over to the local PBS station, they were showing a program called Equitrek some of it was on Robert Burns. They ended up inside the Globe Inn. After going through the bedroom and sitting in the bard's chair the host was directed to the bar, there in the corner enjoying some single malt was our own P1M. They swung the camera around to the other side of te bar to show Robertson wearing his Highland Granite kilt, I am not sure how long ago it was filmed but it was nice to see.

And what was it you were reading at that very moment, Glen, that caused you to impetuously turn on the TV, tune in to that channel and transfer your attention from the Bard to our Dumfriesshire host? Whatever, well done.
