    The story of the travelling Quaich can be found in its own forum section

    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...play.php?f=278


    But basically There was once a story written by member Panache about a dirigible taken on a quest to find the source of the world's most prized sporran fur.

    That story led to a small wooden dirigible travelling around the world mailed from member to member.

    When the dirigible was hangered for the last time we bought a large Quaich and sent it, along with a logbook on an adventure.

    The travelling Quaich and its logbook, have circled the globe 3 times. It has been to the beach where the Japanese tidalwave came ashore. It has been interviewed on Australian radio.

    Along the way it collected souvenirs of its travels. Small pins, flags, books, Scotch bottle corks, and even an oyster shell.
    The logbook records its travels and the autographs of those who have shared it. Even Diana Gabaldon, the author of the "Outlander" books.

    All of this is on display for anyone who visits X Marks HQ.
