    Arlen, its looking good for getting a kilt night of the ground. A fabulous venue would be the Drover's Inn up at Inveranan with its rich Scottish background but unfortunately its too far out especially if you're driving.
    Perhaps one of the Scottish theme pubs in the West end of Glasgow e.g. the Park Bar or the Islay.
    I would be content to go along with the crowd and enjoy myself in good ambient company. The dates suit me fine.

    The Drovers Inn is a fabulous old pub, with kilted barman. On the Sunday we could get the train from Glasgow to Ardlui and walk the 1 mile to the pub, have lunch and train back.

    Otherwise any arrangemenmts are fine with me.

    Is someone (Arlen ?) going to draw up a simple programme so we all know where to meet up ?

    The kilt night is still in its early stages, the idea was only discussed this week but it looks promising, I don't know if Arlen will be the organiser or not, but he is keen to get it off the ground and we are starting to get a few interested parties. I hope it will be a success ,as it should be a good night.

    Talking about the Drover's Inn, I was up there a few weeks ago it still is the same busy pub, still dirty and crowded. I remember a few years ago talking to the then owner Duncan about a recent Taggart episode that had been filmed there starring the late great Mark McManus. I remarked to Duncan that he must have got the cleaner to clean the place up for the filming, he replied that he had sacked his cleaner for suggesting this. I supose its the dirt that makes it authentic and a Scottish treasure!
