God bless the TSA, they are the reason I will never ever travel to USA again.

Thanks Steve, it has been moving - just not very far. If Bill doesn't see this I will call him.
Great work Steve, cheers.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bill did you read this too?
I have kept Steve informed while I was hosting it.

One thing I would like to see is to be able to search forum members by country (or is...

Well done Bill, sounds like Melbourne is giving the quaich a very special time. Good of you to offer delivery, just need someone to hold up their hand.

So how come Melbourne is having all the fun??
Seriously, well done Bill, wish I could be there at the handover. Colin did a great job with the Quaich at the Celtic Festival.

Here are a couple of...

I was wondering if it went to NZ,
New Zealand is east of us so I guess it wont now, but NZ has a rich Scottish heritage. Do we have any members there?
More importantly, we need a host for the...

The Quaich has officially left Tasmania.
Prior to it's departure it was a guest of honour (note proper spelling) at our only local distillery - Hellyer Road, along with members and friends of Burnie...

Good grief, when I saw the title I thought it referred to the habit of having babies on horseback :)

Lovely photos, I remember that bridge from my last trip there. Good to see a man dressed in a kilt on Skye, I didn't see any there!

I LOVE the word "ancient", it's a beautiful word.

"Ancient of Days" - that is as ancient as it gets.

and that is as fine a beard as I have seen :) Hiking kilted is just so good!

In Tasmania and around Australia, Cradle Mountain is a icon. It is a place of great beauty all through the year.
I like taking visitors there because there are so many walks, from a 2 hour walk...

Thanks lads, it was also interesting on the walk that two groups of walkers wanted a photo of or with me because of the kilt. That happened also last time I was in Scotland - tourists wanted to see...

Absolutely top-notch, I love the jacket - I want one!!
You would look fine even at a Royal Wedding dressed like that.

We had a great day with the Quaich at the world famous Cradle Mountain. The National Park is only about 1.5 hours drive from where we live, but it did take longer today because of heavy snow falls...

The quaich has been doing the rounds of Scottish Country Dance groups here. Tomorrow it goes up the world famous Cradle Mountain, unless the roads are snow-bound.

I had a call from Colin MacLeod,...

All true, bunt the movie wouldn't have been as good. :)
