    Today it was time for the Saltire to depart to a new destination as she continues her travels in friendship. No visit to Hawick would have been complete however, without a visit to House of Cheviot / Hawick Sock Company.
    Here the Saltire is seen in the sock factory with Robin Deas, proprietor, accompanied by engineer Steve Quintus.

    Perhaps the Saltire will carry a cargo of hose to her next destination
    Fare thee well, Saltire, and safe journey!

    Well well well, what have we here? The Saltire has sought shelter and protection from the Gun of the Jock household. Having spent a great time further South with Alex, she is residing here for a few days viewing the sights.



    Yesterday we went to High Bridge where the first shots were fired in the "1745".





    Then on to Glenfinnan where Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Clans gathered a few days after the action at High Bridge.





    More to come.

    Today, April 16th was a special day and more pictures will be put in the pictures section, but this one picture is all that needs to be seen and said here.

    The "adventure" ended here on 16th April 1746.







    More to come, but not today.

    The Saltire visits the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge.

    So I've got a great idea! It's called Flight of SoulFyre777! I'll package myself up and be sent all over! First stop, Gun of the Jock household!

    Wonderful pictures, Jock! My wife and I visited to many of those places on our honeymoon and remember them with much affection!
