Scotland trip 2011.

[Jock Scot]

I hope you don't mind me asking? I notice there is a trip to Scotland, in September, mentioned on your website. Are there any members of Xmarks venturing over here on it?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Well, the booking is done through TravelWorld, the agency who is handling all those details and arranging the trip for us. So unless someone volunteers the information, we don't actually know who all is and is not signed up.

So I can tell you that I know of at least one X Marker who has booked for the trip. But how many others, I cannot say! Maybe those going can chime in here.

BTW, here's a link to the trip info Jock is referring to. TravelWorld is donating half of their profit for this trip to the museum!

The trip is doing its very best to give you a good "taste" of what Scotland has to offer from South to North and from East to West. Well as you are lurking around Inverness for a couple of days maybe we might try and "bump" into each other Mael?

Aye, Jock perhaps a favorite watering hole?

As I am not a resident of Inverness itself and my visits are usually confined to trips to the fishing tackle/gun shop for "essential supplies" and a certain kilt makers shop a couple of doors away and on occasion the hospital, I really don't have a "watering hole" there. No doubt I can work on that in the next couple of months!

Time is moving swiftly on, are you still up for a wee dram Mael? Anyone else want to join in?

Jock I noticed in an earlier post you mentioned that you don't have a favorite watering hole in Inverness. Behind the castle there is a real ale pub, I believe it has Castle in the name, that is really grand. I had an evening to blow before the Inverness to London train in January and had a great time there. It is just up on a slight hill, and hard to miss. I made no effort to play the visitor, but a number of very nice folks introduced themselves and had some real nice conversations. The beer was very good as well and the barmaid was extremely knowledgeable about the beer. Just a suggestion for what it's worth. I had several people rave about Gellions before I visited and while it was fine, I wouldn't suggest it as memorable.

Aye, Jock! I'm spending two nights in Inverness, WED-14 & TH-15. Staying at the Ramada on Church. Thursday evening looks more open but Wednesday will do, too!

Do you know if they will be doing it again for next year?
