Ferintosh celebrates the 250th anniversary

Hi all

A number of X-Markers (including Hamish the Kilted Legend) foregathered in the Ferintosh Guest House in Dumfries yesterday (Saturday) for a Burns supper. A few pics from the day and the evening - no doubt others will be posted in the next few days. The official celebrations start in Dumfries with the "Burns Light" parade and lighting of the fire sculpture of Tam O'Shanter.

First, the sculpture being positioned in the River Nith

Here Niblox and Hamish have to support the little airship. It's been across the Atlantic three times recently!!

Robertson (Pour1Malt) has a secret cellar of rare malts - here we help point the little airship in the right direction

Prepare for a soft landing....

Well, folks, hope you liked the first pictures - there will be many others in the next few days.

Yes, I am looking forward to the continued saga. That statue should go up like a match stick.

Thanks for sharing the pictures so far. Were you able to get a photo of the statue on fire? That definately looks like a well stocked bar, hope that I get to visit one day.
