    peacekeeper83,

    One must remember that his Lairdship is an avid gardener and his attentions are distracted from his usual sartorial splendiferous pursuits for greener earthier ones at this time of year.

    Rest assured that he does keep an eye on things here at XMTS and smiles approvingly at all Ladies and Gentlemen who strive to find their own kilted looks.

    Cheers

    To Pour1Malt and Emma

    Robertson and Emma,

    Thank you for your kind and thoughtful hospitality. The Ferintosh should be made the "Official" UK inn of X Marks.

    Robertson, your pub crawls are legendary. I'm not much of a pub guy but that was fun. Tiring, but fun.

    Emma, you are a delight. It is so evident that you are very proud of your town and Bobbie and I truly enjoyed having the opportunity to finally meet and talk with you. You made our visit to Dumfries very special.

    To Chas and Acaig

    Chas,

    I would like to publicly thank you for the gift of the Dandelions. What a surprise.
    It was a real pleasure to meet you and have the opportunity to sit over the breakfast table laughing and talking.
    I hope we can meet again. If you ever want to come to this side of the pond you have a room for as long as you want it.


    Allen,

    You and I got off to a rocky first communication. But after meeting you in person I found you to be honestly concerned and proud of your knowledge of Heraldry.
    I've never met an Armiger in person and you Sir, set the standard. I hope we get a chance to meet again.

    To cessna152towser

    Alex,

    To drive from Hawick just to be with Bobbie and I in Dumfries was above and beyond. And you did it twice.
    To invite us to your local Games and show us your town was very special.
    To finally meet you in person was a delight.
    I really can't express how happy and proud I am to call you my friend.

    To Jiminak and Hamish

    Jim,

    We have had the pleasure to meet twice now. Each time was a pleasure. I hope we have another opportunity.



    To Hamish,

    You are a Gentleman in the true, old world sense of the word. Each time we have had the opportunity to meet you have humbled me with your kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness.
    You have reminded me of the qualities in a gentleman that I, as an old curmudgeon, can only hope to strive for. That quiet elegance quality.
    There are simply no words in my writings that can fully explain my gratitude to you.
    I am truly proud to call you, Ham, my friend.
    Thank you.

    This concludes my school book report "What I did on my summer vacation.".

    I hope you all have enjoyed the story and pictures as much as Bobbie and I enjoyed the trip itself.
