    Re: Kilts in new Sherlock Holmes

    Yes. The Aberdeen Shipping Company sounds appropriate enought. If you are well up in your London, you will know that the office of the company is in Fresno Street, which branches out of Upper Swandam Lane.

    Lightbulb Re: Kilts in new Sherlock Holmes

    Okay fellow Sherlockians, I'm all prepared to start a new social-group devoted to our shared passion for the Canon & the kilt; however, before I move ahead, I want to be certain that we have a consensus on the name "The Aberdeen Shipping Company".
    Are there anymore suggestions or shall this be the groups new name?


    Also, I'd like to submit three (3) illustrations to choose from for the groups identifying picture. I attempted to find something Scottish related to the Holmes image. The best I could come up with is this of a statue located in Edinburgh:

    picture a


    second is this illustration taken from "The Man With The Twisted Lip" (from whence the Aberdeen Shipping Co. appears):

    picture b


    Lastly is this one of the great detective in his classic tweeds from "The Final Problem":

    picture c


    Let me know your preference.
    Thanks.
