Grand mannie for the Highlands. Where about are you on Skye? My uncle was a bobby there and I would nip up to see him on many occasions. Now you here let me thell chew this habout that it is not Donald where's yer trousers that chew will be singhing on this list at h all at h all at h all. I was at a games in Canada and was told point blank by a very nice wifie that no Highlander would be caught dead in a kilt and a pair of wellies with a tee shirt and that I was wearing it all wrong. My accent is still rather thick, although I maintain Inverness has no accent at all, but she was rather surprised when I answered her in the Gaelic. Although we had a home in Inverness my people are teuchters from Melveig up past Gairloch and if you go a hundred more yards north you are out of the Highlands and into the sea. (well the Minch any way. It is nice to see so many other Teuchters on the list. All I have eve seen is two to 4 inquiries a week. Dave
