I've received so many kindnesses from xmarkers over the years, I really feel you are like family.
A_Hay made me a beautiful leather sporran with embossed Cunningham Unicorn.
LAScotswoman gave me her late father's Cunningham tartan waistcoat and welcomed me into her home and showed me around LA and Hollywood when I went to Ventura Seaside Games.
SteveAshton and his wife TheKiltedKnome hosted me for a week in their home in Victoria BC.
Ancienne Alliance and his wife LadyChrystel hosted me in their home in the French Alps.
SteveB hosted me in Boston MA and at the NH Highland Games as well as driving me between these places.
CSCunningham drove me around sightseeing in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
BigMikey gave me a beautiful pair of knitted hose toppers.
McMurdo showed me around Toronto and he and MacMoose, MacHummel, ccga3359, Wompet and others clubbed together to treat me to a flight in a Stearman at Canadian Warplane Heritage at Hamilton Ontario.
When I was pickpocketed in Spain several members offered to wire money to me and I gratefully accepted one of these offers.
When my wife Ann died over 100 members offered their condolences.
I have received lots of other generous gifts and kindnesses from xmarkers, apologies if I have not named you here.
Yet all I have ever been able to do in return is offer to drive xmarkers around when you come to Scotland and so far A_Hay has been the only member to accept the hospitality of staying in my guest room for a few days.
