Not one of mine Fernando she just turned up and her mother tossed her in just as the photo was being taken. Perhaps they thought it a cheap way to get home

One of those Scottish games no doubt, next to the caber toss and scottish hammer throw.

I remembber when i was last there, an amazing castle, but sadly i didn't get to see the museum at that time.

Spectacular pics! Thanks for posting them, Royston. I'm amazed that one can really get that close to Mons Meg! In our museums, one would see it behind bullet-proof glass, a velvet roped-off corridor with guards and a 'Don't Touch the Glass' sign-

Oh, didn't you know, Mark ? That's because this is a replica; the real one is kept in a vault .
