    Dear friend Jock, I understood you to have a mountainous cache of Talisker tucked away that would tide you through the next world war. If I am wrong then I will quickly organize a "rescue and resupply" mission at once, including of course myself in the return to personally "oversee" the operation properly completed. And repeated, as often as is necessary. Good God, man, a highlander without his dram, never in my lifetime. I doubt that I would be able to bring my own stocks so I would have to fill the "red cross" package with locally acquired high quality native stocks, perhaps even a cask or two (you can never have too many you know), and maybe a few extra to bring home to fill my cellar as well. Oh, a whisky rescue it shall be as my next excuse to cross the pond, kilts, tweed and "appropriate" headgear in tow.

    I agree with Sir William that with the education I have recieved and absorbed here I will no doubt return to Scotland kilted for the entire trip, as I did for the golf oddyssey of 2010, albeit a might better turned out with more tweed and sans golf clubs this time. Although he and I may be readily recognized as outlanders, foreign poseurs, for wearing the kilt in all the wrong places and at all the wrong times, I hope we would be taken in as friends of the kilt and of Scotland for our honest attempt at appropriate and respectful and honorable wearing of what quite obviously (from F4T1 and F4T2 data) is seen as an important item of very personal self recognized Highland and Scotland pride. I can only hope to do them proud, as I hope I have thus far in my previous albeit further down the learning curve trips of 2008 and 2010, a total of 21 days with 20 of them kilted (not counting the "unkilting" needed to play that Royal Tookus, uhhh Troon, golf course in 2010).

    Must remember that upon my own trip to Scotland, I bring a bottle of American Bourbon to open Jock's palate and worldview. Now, what to bring?
    Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude
