Let us hope so, although too much development around some of the battlefields may make things a bit tricky.Still, it is never too late. Bonny Dundee who is mentioned in the article is, I think, burried in the grounds of the nearby Blair Castle, home of the Dukes of Atholl. B D's breast plate is on show there with ,if my memory serves, two large bullet(more like cannon) holes in it. It is not surprising that he did not survive!
Well then Sir W. how did the trip go? I am so sorry to have missed you. Ho hum.
