NOT A WASTE
MACTAVISH:
IT IS THE CUSTOM IN SCOTLAND, WHEN VISITING ANCESTORS GRAVES, TO LEAVE THEM A DRAM= A DRINK OF WHISKY. ON YOUR BEHALF I LEFT THEM A BOTTLE OF SINGLE MALT! HOPEFULLY THE PHOTIES WILL SHOW THIS.I LEFT IT ON THE OLDEST GRAVE I FOUND-1606- IN KELSO ABBEY.(THERE ARE OLDER GRAVES BUT THEY ARE ILLEGIBLE I HAD TO BE DIRECTED TO THIS ONE BY MARY LANGTON)SO MUCH IS THIS CUSTOM RESPECTED IN SCOTLAND; WHEN I RETURN THERE IN A FEW WEEKS TIME YOU AN GUARENTEE THE BOTTLE WILL STILL BE THERE.
DOES ANYONE WANT TO TAKE BETS ITS STILL THERE OR NOT? YOU CAN BET IT IS!
Forum_mgr:
I hope it will still be there. It would be nice to confirm integrity and honor still exists - On the other hand, knowing people like you show it's not.
Thank you on behalf of all of us!
MACTAVISH:
I NOT ONLY DID IT FOR YOU ALL BUT A LITTLE BIT FROM MYSELF AND CATHY. I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR YOU PEOPLE AND WE ARE ENVELOPED IN YOUR WARMTH OF ACCEPTANCE. WE MAY NOT BE BLOOD KIN, PERHAPS WE'RE MUCH CLOSER THAN THAT.
