It makes my heart ache to know I won't be able to be there.

Whilst at the Argyll, be sure to try their Hanky-Panky for afters. Yum!

(Maitland, have you ever noticed how we often relate places with food? I even think of coffee when I think of Inchmahome Priory.)

That is generally all I think about, food !!

Inchmahome Priory and Loch Katrine for the coffee and most things edible remind me of the Sheriffmuir. Of all the places where we ate (Not that I ate much you understand !) I keep coming back to the Sheriffmuir. I think it is the history surrounding the place that brings me back there physically and mentally.

My Sister In law has said that she will baby sit some time soon and stump up the money for a meal (I did her a few favors) so we have decided a night out at the Sheriffmuir would be in order. I will of course raise a glass to you on the night

Thanks Mairead and Mike, the photos said it all. The flowers from the forum are very pretty. Looked like a beautiful day.

[MacPatrick]

Nice pictures, it was a beautiful day, thanks for posting them. Who gave the other two floral arrangements? I was wondering if they were given by other groups.

It look like the Dunoon Pipe Band wears the Lamont tartan.

[mairead]

Jim L.
The other two floral tributes were laid by Na Fir Dileas and by my Husband Dave, who is a Lamont descendent.
The Pipe Band were wearing the Modern Lamont tartan.

Mairead, you made the hair on my neck tingle, wish I could have been there

very stiring looking event.

So you have your own tartan??

[mairead]

Yes Knockdow. That is the Na Fir Dileas tartan which is registered to us. Our group consists of people from many different clans so we decided to design and have our own NFD tartan woven, instead of all sorts of tartans and tweeds being worn at events.

The flag with the blue and red .... ??????????
