Is that the same VisitScotland that doesn't seem to like tourists?
Sounds like a nice group to promote your country, doesn't it.

Oy, could I look any more drunk? Fitting, as I was.

Mmmm, Scotch. Double-mmmm, proper Guinness.

Strange, that has happened to several of us in Dumfries. At those very same pubs as a matter of fact.

BTW, I've not seen Rowdy Red lately. Did she ever pop in at Ferintosh?

That's the one. I'm the legendary "American In A Kilt" they don't like. Just ask Hamish and DWG69.

Well when we go for the Gathering, there may be a whole group of fine Southern gentlemen in kilts around Dumfries.
Gee, I hope no one gets upset about it.

Naaa. Dumfries is very friendly. It's VisitScotland that's not.

Of course you could reive their offices and then off to the pub just a few doors down. They are on Whitesands at the river.
