Derek, in case she changes her mind and leaves it at home:

[David Dalglish]

I will be wearing my Blue Mckay & pc jacket for the supper. i will also bring my Ancient old Stewart for Friday night, as its very warm.

[Freelander Sporrano]

I thinks it's a kilt Shop Derek

[cessna152towser]

Well it looks like I'm organised to meet some x-markers next Friday and Saturday. Friday I will be coming to Dumfries alone for the Kilts night and have booked a carer to look in on Ann, and then Ann will be travelling with me to Dumfries on Saturday to join in the Burns supper. I can probably get to Dumfries by around lunchtime both days so if there is going to be a kilted rabble visit to Andersons kilt shop or Caerlaverock castle or whatever during the day on Friday or Saturday I may be able to join you.

[Hamish]

Hey! Derek and I are not arriving at The Ferintosh until late afternoon or early evening on Friday (weather permitting - the forecast is grim!), and will be whacked - I'll be leaving home around 4.30am for the 420-odd mile drive. Don't you guys strip Anderson's of all the bargains (or the pubs of all the red wine!) before we get a look-in!!
