Thanks very much for your good words. It is good to be back.

Dear Xmarks friends,
First, I would like to thank all of you for your prayers, good thoughts, and well wishes. My family and I are safe, including my wife's parents who evacuated with me and my...

Ach... simply lovely! I wonder if we may have been on Iona about the same time and didn't know it? I was there May 11-15. You have a precious treasure from a precious Isle. Thanks for the...

Ah... Mr. Madpiper... In my view, this is most excellent tweed. The colours are natural, the tweed wool is sourced from the sheep right outside the door of the mill! The hand of the cloth is...

Good sir, I flew over Lewis and Harris coming and going from Canada and both times couldn't see a thing. I am glad to have been on the ground. The landscape is dramatic especially the way it...

You are welcome! This was my first time in Scotland--a pilgrimage of sorts. I hope you are able to go sooner than later... 2014 will be a special year for Scotland.
Thank you for your good words....

Here are the remaining images related to my previously posted thread. No, I did not take my kilt... not this time. Yes I did see a few kilts along the way, maybe 3 or 4 (two pipers, one waiter,...

Thank you, good sir. A great help. I am due to arrive tomorrow. Time permitting, I may try to visit the museum.
Thank you for the rail station link as well. I have just had a wonderful visit to...

Got my map, Jock! Can't wait to use it. Also going as a single traveler. I have no worries other than common sense precautions.

I'm off on Saturday. Thanks for all your suggestions. I will watch for Tesco and Marks and Spencer, too. I appreciate my many friends, here.

Sounds like we're all related!

Kyle, I will only be Inverness, and passing through Kingussie by train on my way to Pitlochry. Aye, if there are Xmarkers in the Pitlochry area that's also an...

I will be travelling through the city of Inverness on May 6 flying in around 9:30am and then leaving later that day around 14:30 from the train station. If there are any Xmarkers that would be in...

Thank you, Henry. It's really reassuring to read about your experience. I have had a GF ale but alas, I will have to settle for great single malts along the way! Good daily medicine.
David

It seems Mr. Mookien that you're right! It's Tummel and Tay! Thank you for your thoughts, the link and the sense of humour. I wonder if you will post a pic of the Strathtummel kilt? It would be...

I've heard of House of Bruar and about the tea room. It sounds like a lovely place for tea and "deep pockets"! Checked the site, beautiful clothing and I can see why you like the tattersal shirts! ...

Thanks Kyle, I hope to be at the Donnachie museum in a couple of weeks where I expect to learn lots! And the the video is really helpful, some really nice shots of the land. Much appreciation. David
