    Greetings from Scotland

    Greetings from Sunny Scotland. OK, greetings from Scotland, anyway.

    Arrived Saturday around noon and did a short walk up to Gartmorn Dam. A pal and I went up to Loch Katrine, yesterday morning, and then visited Inchmahome Priory on Lake Menteith (yes, "Lake" and not Loch), later in the day. A quick stop at Doune Castle for a couple of exterior photos and it was back home, where the jet lag conspired with gravity, to lay me out for the rest of the day. We're off to Dun Eideann, in just a few minutes.

    It looks as if you fellows are getting right along, so I am going to leave you at that.

    We'd love to see some of those photos, if you're inclined to post a few.

    Have fun, be safe...

    No you have to go into Castle Doune. I made the same mistake in 2000. It's not too late, go back.

    Since we are not able to be with you (at least from our side of the pond) have fun and remember to come back with many a great tale.
