Hey, don’t make me dig that stone out of your house foundation and build it into a chair. ;’)

> Ah, then it must ‘belong’ to the viking who lost it? Certainly it doesn’t belong to the government.

No, it doesn’t belong to “the government”. It belongs to “The Crown”, which is something entirely different.

The closest thing you Yanks have to “The Crown” is “We the People...”

(The Crown is not the Queen)

Well, there are plenty of other reasons to go to Scotland. Ullapool is a lovely place, and we did get a really, really nice hotel room in Oban. The tourist traps are interesting as well, and the scenery and weather (and we went in November) make it God’s country for sure.

We started at Hadrian’s wall in the east and went north along the coast and around past John O’Groats and Dunnet’s Head, then back to the wall in the west. It took us two weeks, and we went to our favorite distilleries and hiked every trail we could find. It was great.
