I don't understand this referance. I get the feeling that there has been turmoil at xmarksthescot in the past. I know the story of this quote but I don't see the application.
It was what was written on the wall by an unseen hand at Belshazzar's feast in the Book of Daniel and means "thou hast been weighed in the balance and found wanting."

I don't understand it's application here unless it refers that the writing being on the wall for the continued voyages of the good blimp. :blimp:

I was privileged to encounter it twice, once in Dumfries and once in Cardiff but it was not only seeing the Saltire itself but also the pleasure of reading and adding to the entries in the log which was people greeting each other in kilted fellowship and sharing their feelings and thoughts. It gave a connection that was beyond the purely electronic,

I would like to ask Jamie if there is a way of scanning these so that people may access and read the log in document or pdf form, to remind who saw some of it as well as for the benefit of those who may have seen photographs but never seen the log. The log will remain a valuable document long after the Saltire reaches its final mooring.
