I got a bottle of Grouse for Xmas and now have a wee tincture of Old Pulteny in my glass. Cheers!

Can't believe it's possible to ride a bike with a pair that big. Incredible.

I listen to an awful lot of Old Blind Dogs, love them. Also some Scocha. If you type into YouTube "BBC highland sessions" you will find some very fine musicians from both Ireland and Scotland. Their...

As a Bain I'd certainly take it off your hands if it can't find a home. Great offer Wizard.

Cheers for that. I love Dicks work.

Thanks for the thread. We stopped for a minutes silence to mark the occasion and later that night raised a dram of Old Pulteny in honour of my granddad 8/4 Lt Lachlan Bain 8th South Canterbury...

You know, Bob, if I ever get back over to see my old flat mate Alan in Battleground we should find a pub with a good band and have a few pints of the dark stuff.

I do love The Pogues and had one of the best nights of my life after a Pogues concert. We were having a wee lock in, having a few after hours drink at my local when three of the band wandered in. We...

Stunning, simply beautiful.

While the scottish uniform may not inspire me the quaichs being given to medal winners instead of the usual flowers certainly do.

Outstanding, looks great. makes me twitch to pull the trigger on an order myself.

The site looks great. My only quibble would be that as an international viewer the currency wasn't immediately obvious. As I look at a lot of sites it's important to me to keep in mind if I'm talking...

As a Kiwi I love the brass buckle with the silver fern. Just lovely.

Well done! As someone who took a degree at an age "slightly" older than my classmates I can appreciate the efforts you've been through. Good luck with the job.
i can see the reality show now....

It's winter solstice time down here, by golly. A bonfire would have been areal treat this past weekend.

Possibly a white cockade if your politics go that way. : )

I absolutely love that sporran from Mcrosties. Simple, elegant and well made. Beautiful.

Some beautiful pics there!

It's Friday night, watching some live sword fighting from Croatia with a small tincture of Kilchoman. Bliss.

I'm loving the shin length sporran in that old photo, given that most of the advice I hear about sporran length these days is that it should never extend past the edge of the kilt. He surely rocks...

Tonite England play my mighty All Blacks at Forsyth Barr stadium in Dunedin. Should be a great opportunity to see some good running rugby. Given that Dunedin is the most scottish city in New Zealand...

Absolutely smashing. Isn't it amazing just how good simple, superbly crafted items can look. Colour me green with envy.

Brilliant buy. Looks great!

What exactly is a Tim Hortons?

My people were moved out of Sutherland and dispersed all over the world. There's a statue of the Duke of Sutherland "erected by his grateful tenants" up in the far north. The tradition in my family...
