    Scotland Vacation June 2007

    Ladies & Gentlemen I have finally finished sorting through several hundred photos from vacation and begun to upload the good ones to the web. This will be in several installments over the next few days.

    First just a few as I have to run some errands and then head up to Frederick Maryland for tonight's kilt night.

    This is me on arrival at the Dumfries Rail Station:



    And of course most of you wil recognize Ferintosh Guest House, the home of Pour1Malt and Emma: Inn Keepers Extroidinaire



    Pour1Malt and I with a Welcoming Dram: (and me needing a haircut badly.)



    P1M and my attempt at a Hamish Mark II:



    Myself, Emma and Ron (my partner) in the hall at Ferintosh:



    More to come later but just now I'm in a rush.

    Excellent pics, looking forward to viewing more over the next few days.

    Great pics, but it appears that Ron is desperately in need of a kilt...
    In Soviet Russia, kilt wears you.

    Great photos, Dee, and to think I missed you by only a few days! The 'Hamish MkII' is pretty darned good - the kick is not quite high enough, but you are both working very well together. The arms, I am afraid to say, are not right - both arms should be extended symetrically in line with the shoulders. Get those right and I can see I'll have two new chorus boys for the new show: "Hamish - the Musical"!!!!

    The others are right: you must get Ron into the kilt. He'll not be admitted to The Storrington Gathering next year if he wears t------s or j---s!!

    A good start with the pics. I'll echo the others, get that fellow in a kilt.
