Au contraire, speaking quite figuratively, I assure you, quite figuratively. Others before me were perhaps a touch more abstemious than they needed. The nett effect was a healthy draught to seal the few words with which I wished the Quaich a Bon Voyage II!

Well, the famous world-trotting Quaich made another stop today, at Keltoi with John - Slohairt. Two friends of mine travelled with me to order kilts... and to meet the Quaich!

Left to right: Father Bill, Angus, Sandy, Slohairt.
Thanks John, for your kind welcome and looking forward to your skilled production!
By the way, for those who are eagle-eyed, yes, we did make a minor error.

That's either:
Forgot the fillings... or held it with the XMTS badge upside down!
Regardless, it's the next step on a voyage that many of us will be watching -- thanks for the update!

Oh, the X-Marks badge upside down. For a second there, I thought you just tipped the contents over the carpet. Phew!
Seriously, thank you for bringing the Quaich Steve, that we had the privilege of starting this circumnavigation. I am looking forward to Fr Bill's reporting of its activities over the next few weeks.

I gave a short explanation of the Quaich. Why it exists and what its mission is. "Travelling to share our love of the kilt with the world".
I was, of course, wearing my X Marks Tartan kilt.
The Quaich's log book were passed around for signatures.
And then a wee dram was shared among all.
Of course as the Quaich reached our honored guest Grizziled Ian he was required to finish it.
And a photo showing all the attendees at Kilt Kamp was included in the logbook as it's first souvenir.

Steve,
The first three photos are not showing up. I'm getting a Photobucket icon that says the image was moved or deleted. Is it just me or are others also getting this icon?
