I have a question: what's the origin of the word "fettling"? I think I'll start using it.
I just thought of another question: how near are you to Lanark, and in particular to Lee Castle? I'd like to visit my Lockharts someday.
I used to regularly make the drive from The Lee to Hawick, a distance of about 60-65 miles. I'd usually allow an hour and a half and generally arrive pretty much "on time".
And "top marks" to Alex and his display of traditional Scottish hospitality!
