Hello from Scotland

Hello from Central Kentucky!

Ah, were you old enough to enjoy the gravy years of United? Must have been heady.

And the Spurs' times are a bit too interesting. Who knows what would've happened had Kane and Son been healthy. But then again, really great teams have backups.

Yeah lived through and loved the Ferguson era. Been a bit more sobering since then!
They’ve both been a big miss that’s for sure. Roll on next season, missing my football fix!

Coincidentally I was just reading in the Dundee Courier this morning about the auction a few years back to sell off the stuff from the old Charles Rattray shop in Perth


(I'm a Fifer currently marooned on a tropical island)

I’ll need to try and find that. Intentionally marooned or stuck...? There’s not many shops left in Scotland really or not that I’ve found so far!

I’m from near there originally. Good tobacconists on King Street - Herbert Love.

Pretty good shop in/near Edinburgh. I can look it up if anyone's interested.

Yeah most are closing up when the owners pass away (the one in KDY went a few years ago too) The one in Leith Walk is still there
About the only good thing is it gives you a great excuse for a day-trip to Dublin and into the Peterson store & the other tobacco store round the corner

Intentionally marooned for work, I'll head home when I get tired of the sunshine.....

There’s one in Leith which I use the most, Tincup mentioned it. There’s also one in Ayr but it’s a bit far for me to travel.

That sounds like a wonderful idea!
At least it’s intentional. Tired of the sunshine? Didn’t know that was a thing.....

Ah, yes, that's the one. Got a good Parker Hungarian there for a nice price.

If you're a walker, I can recommend a great Bothy for pipe smoking...

Welcome aboard. Took the fast train from London and stayed in the Caledonia Hotel in Edinburgh and enjoyed my short visit very much. My wife asked a fellow on the street what that sweet smell in the air was, the whiskey distilling, and he replied, "Why that's me, my dear."
