If I go it'll leave the board in the hands of the guests & that'd never do.


But I'm tired...

Did you learn how to play the bagpipes, eat haggis and become immune to midges?

No bagpipes. I played 1st chair alto b-flat cornet in the marching band. And, I did choke down some haggis on a few occasions.

We did have a bagpipe section though.

We got in full military dress a few times a year. The final inspection in may was always brutal, 30 degrees out and wearing wool everything.

I used to wear a woollen school blazer too.  They look really smart. Just not too practical in the summer.

Cost a total of £2.

Right. That sounds like a rather reasonable price.

This is mine


I just found my old school prayer - I remember it still:


"O God, our Father, we pray for your blessing on this school. Help us to work with courage and sincerity, to live together in kindliness and honesty. Make us generous in thought, unselfish in action, that all who go forth hence may carry with them the vision of your Kingdom and the knowledge of your Truth, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen."

Yep. An all girls school, complete with pervy PE teachers who used to stand and watch the exit of the showers to make sure you were washing properly. It makes my skin crawl thinking back on that.

Our school uniform was bright purple - nice.


My mum is scottish - this makes me scottish enough to be entitled to wear the family tartan - Anderson - it's red.

This is my tartan. McGill's my maiden name, see.


I'm a half-Irish, quarter Welsh, quarter English girl me. Oh and the Irish part of me comes originally from Scotland way back. 


Makes it damned hard to know who to support during any sporting competition!

Going back to the migies, I was in scotland (around fort william) about a year ago, and I picked up on a saying..."If you kill a migie, a million come to it's funeral"  Believe me, you couldn't move for the things, putting a tent up was incredibly unorganised, and it's the fastest I've ever moved.. Never again will I go in migie season

We camped on the shores of Loch Lomond a few years back. Idyllic setting. Until dusk when the wildest party of midges you ever did see kicked off.  You should have seen the people going to the water point to fill up their Aquarolls - covered from head to foot with only slit for their eyes to see where they were going - hilarious! (until your own water runs out!!!)

You might laugh, but it's the only way.  I walked around the campsite with a migie net over my head, most effective.
