    Mmmm, Scotch. Double-mmmm, proper Guinness.
    Strange, that has happened to several of us in Dumfries. At those very same pubs as a matter of fact.

    BTW, I've not seen Rowdy Red lately. Did she ever pop in at Ferintosh?

    Sounds like a nice group to promote your country, doesn't it.
    That's the one. I'm the legendary "American In A Kilt" they don't like. Just ask Hamish and DWG69.

    Well when we go for the Gathering, there may be a whole group of fine Southern gentlemen in kilts around Dumfries.
    Gee, I hope no one gets upset about it.

    Naaa. Dumfries is very friendly. It's VisitScotland that's not.

    Of course you could reive their offices and then off to the pub just a few doors down. They are on Whitesands at the river.

    Wow!! Looks like at todays exchange rate a pint is about $6.00...when I got on the wagon it was still about $2.00....

    Great pics otherwise. Good to see your denim jacket back.
