Please read this question, giving it the humble voice that I type it in.

'Who is Hamish Bicknell?"

While discussiong XMarks with a friend the other day, I made mention that having it frequented such people as Hamish gave me great comfort, knowing that people of taste and dignity gave their voice.

In response, I got a 'Hamish ... who?'

And I had no idea how to answer.

If I said he was an avid kilt collector, that made him sound a bit eccentric.

I know that he was a dancer, but my searches in Google only tell me that he was a dancer and that he collects kilts.

I searched for "Laird of Lochaber" and found it was a title that could be bought.[1]

So ... I ask those who are privileged to know him: "Who is Hamish Bicknell?"

Again, I ask this question in respect and humility. While I don't believe that we have ever even crossed posts here at XMarks, I have read a number of his posts and have the highest respect for this taste, and his character and his kollection.
