Wow they named a mountain after a character in a comic. Now was it Dandy or Beano?

Then we're back at The Ferintosh on Saturday 7th June, arriving late afternoon both times. There's been no mention yet (of which I am aware) of any form of kilts night or pub crawl but, knowing Robertson ...............

It would be great to meet you at last, if our dates fit in with yours.

Take care,
Ham.

The dates fit in just fine for me.
I'll make sure to arrange making a daytrip to Dumfries, then.
It'll be good to finally meet the great and powerful Hamish.

That's a beautiful picture, Jock. Thanks.

(Weren't the locals worried about all the sunshine? Afraid that they'd offended the gods.)

Well done there Jock. You created a bigger response than the group of photos I posted of Caithness and Sutherland.

I'm afraid that was partly due to Arlen and me hijacking Jock's thread for a few posts - for which, Jock, I apologise!!

Take care,
Ham.

No apologies needed, its all good fun.My photography skills,just like my computer skills, are fairly thin on the ground.I am delighted that the picture of The Ben has given people a wee bit of pleasure.I really enjoy this section of the website.

This,nearly local,is highly delighted to see the sun after one of the wettest winters I can remember,I said that about the previous winter too!WE,me really,like the rain to come in a fairly constant amount,during the summer, so that the salmon will "run" up the rivers. A week between storms would be nice though!Still,we have to get our annual 200 odd inches of rain in sometime, I suppose.
