Thus, I predict that henceforth NO gathering of Xsmarksers held anywhere on the planet will be complete without a formal toast to the Laird of Lochaber. And I don't want to get ahead or you, Ham, but might there be a tartan (existing or yet to be designed) that goes along with this?

As to the building, remember the old Groucho Marx line: "...it's just a stones throw from the train station...and when they throw enough stones, we'll build a station." I trust that there are enough local craftsmen about to be able to throw up a place that has that "lived in for a few hundred years" look? Sounds like you have a project. And the fishing thing is not only easy but really gratifying at whatever level you decide to engage it at so you should give it a try...some potentially lovely meals there...start growing some dill for the salmon...

Best
