Fierst Annual Ferintosh Burns Supper (2007)!!!

**starbkjrus** · 31st January 07, 07:20 AM

Well after way TOO much airtravel and then a quick dinner and 15 hours or sleep I'm back. A good time WAS had by all.

I was a bit worried before departing for Scotland and in fact P1M, Porrick, Emma and I had the same discussion on Thursday night. There were such high expectations of this weekend both from the attendees and XMarkers in general that we didn't know how it could live up to them all.

Let me tell you (and I think others will agee) this weekend surpassed every expectation I had. Pub crawls, good friends, a kilt shop, good entertainment, a charming B&B with excellent hosts, haggis, whisky and even a medieval castle. Need I say more than that?

Pics to come......

I am impressed, jealous and proud of the bunch of you, all at the same time. What a wonderful gathering.

This one was taken by Helen in the market in Dumfries on Saturday morning

I second the thought. P1M, you've set a high standard there...!

Forgive me for saying this, but after reviewing the excellent pictures, I would feel humbled and somehow not worthy to be with all those awesome people.
