To honor a Scots patriot

[An t-Ileach]

The Website Siol nan Gaidheal has been talking about this for a while, and quite a few Scots will be at Parliament Square in London at 1200 on 23 August - more than a few will be wearing the kilt, I'm sure.

HERE are some other news reports, as well as a link to some photos that were taken at Robroyston, as David made preparations to set off.

If anybody is interested in David's progress, I will keep updating this thread with the information I am getting.

Please do, Mike. This is a very fascinating story!

Cheers,

Not much to report from Day One, other than David felt he made good progress and was not experiencing any soreness as a result of the day's walk.

If you keep checking the link I provided in the first post of this thread, you will be able to see additional pictures and updates, as they come in.

I live in NE England and depending on your route South, you may pass close to me. Please let me have details of your itinery, and I may be able to come out and greet you.

I shall follow with interest also. All we could manage the other week was a climb to the top of the Walace Monument, but it was worth it.

David Ross crossed the border on Saturday and has been making his way through the Lakes district. A bit of soreness each morning, but it apparently is not taking him long to walk it off. I'm told he wouldn't mind if temperatures were to drop a bit, but other than that, he's doing a great job of meeting his daily mileage quota.

Unfortunately some "other folk" decided to amuse themselves by throwing firecrackers at him, but other than that, people along the route have been supportive.
