creagdhubh, you obviously have strong Highland connections but I'm a little confused by your claim to be amongst the ranks of Redshanks' category #1. Are you born and raised in the Highlands and only recently moved to Missouri? Or are you an American with a Highlander grandfather? Just to clarify and with no disrespect intended...
