Welcome. My family lived in southwestern Scotland-some 335 years ago.

Hey from central North Carolina, U.S. I made a short trip to Scotland in the 1980's and became aware of strong ethnic traits of my father's in his partial Scot heritage -- solicitousness toward children, assertiveness, self-burnishing charm, as with the guards at the Edinburgh Castle and other places. My wife asked a fella passing by what was that smell in the air -- the whiskey distilleries -- and he said, "Why it is me, my dear." I had an especially wild friend and mentor in college who was a Scot by lineage -- an ex-con, a power-lifting champion, a brilliant student and writer, a memorable soul, and somewhat dangerous customer. Welcome aboard.

Funny you say that. Will be heading up with the family in July for 10 days in Durness. Had a glorious time last summer in a cottage in Sangobeg Bay. We had booked for when accommodation started opening, but the campsite was still closed so it was peaceful and quiet.

If I may suggest a pairing: Bothy Flake smokes especially well in it's namesake structure. Bring coal.

I have sampled Bothy Flake before. It was very nice. I also enjoy a pipe and whisky pairing.

Hello everyone. I am based in southern Scotland. I have been smoking a pipe for only a couple of months, but am thoroughly enjoying the journey. I tried cigars around 6 months ago before realising they weren't really for me. I initially thought aromatics would be the way forward for me, but I have been drawn to non aromatics. Enjoyable blends have been Solani White and Black, Robert Lewis Tree Mix, Petersons Early Morning Pipe, and my personal favourite Sam Gawith Skiff Mix. I look forward to discussing the hobby with you all. Thanks for having me here.
