Here are a few photos of the XMTSAS Saltire during her stay here in the Bay Area. She did attend our Nor Cal Rabble Burns Night Supper and there witnessed many of our forum gather in glad company and the memory of Robert Burns.

In addition she attended two other Burns Night celebrations.


The South Bay Scottish Society's Burns Night Supper



And our San Jose SCD class party (on Burns Night itself)



Due to very poor weather there wasn't much opportunity to get her out and about. Though she did enjoy an excursion by bicycle with my family





One for the Monkey@arms




She also joined the Nor Cal Rabble aboard the old sailing ship Balclutha for an evening of sea shanties.











Over the last month I have had the XMTSAS Saltire in my posession I have thought about this this little piece of wood I fashioned a couple of years ago. It has remained true to its purpose, it has travelled far and promoted the good fellowship of xmarksthescot.com. Eventually no one will remember my little tale that introduced her. Perhaps in time no one will remember my contributions to our forum at all. But as long as this forum's ideals remain I think our "wee airship" will continue to fly high and connect the members here in friendship.

She has tarried here in the Bay Area far too long and once again she has taken flight for new adventures. The XMTSAS Saltire is currently en route to another member of our forum, I shall leave it to them to announce her arrival.

Sincerely
