It has been over 7 months since my wife gave me a Christmas Present of a trip to Scotland, and now it is just 6 more days of waiting until we fly, next Saturday!

This is as bad a waiting for a Kilt!.

We arrive in Glasgow on the 28th and take a train to Dumfries, arriving in the afternoon to stay a Ferintosh for 3 nights. Robertson is trying to organize a Kilt Night for the 28th, so anyone in the area that can make it would be welcome, I'm sure.

Tuesday we go back to Glasgow to join the Tour. Wednesday it's off to Loch Ness and Inverness. Thursday down to Edinburgh with a few stops along the way. Friday we have the afternoon off and then the MILITARY TATTOO in the evening. (Sigh) Saturday fly back to Frankfurt and reality.

Thinking about what to wear (Kilts of course!)
Will fly Frankfurt-London-Glasgow-Dumfries in my Auld Lang Syne Grey.
I'm also taking my Black Argyll jacket for any semi-formal events like dinner. It will go with my 8-yard Hay Modern Kilt. Also taking my PV Ancient Hay for day wear. And one pair of khaki p**ts just in case.

I don't plan on buying any more kilts. The prices are probably better over the internet from some of our trusted kiltmakers, but there I'll maybe get some new hose. I'll look at the merchandise along the Royal Mile just to see it first hand, but the dollar/pound rate is really bad now.

I just tell myself the sun will come up and go down just a few more times and then the adventure begins. Watched The Open on TV just to get a feel for it tonight.

Cheers
Tom
