'Genuine' is the genuine word, majroj. At the church on Sunday all the so-called Scottish foodstuffs were store-bought and tasted nothing like the genuine article my Mother used to bake. I did take cooking lessons with a couple of lesbian buddies before coming to Canada but didn't consider taking baking lessons - apart from which I've forgotten everything I learned.

It was? That surprises me majroj. I must read it again, because the old lady, who was a rabid Scot even although she had been born in Canada and never visited Scotland, said that she had never tasted haggis. She asked me what it tasted like and I told her it was sheer heaven - which it is - as long as you don't think of the ingredients.
Talking of ingredients, I find it quite funny that hamburger is actually what the Scots call mince, and there is nothing more delectable that a plate of mince and tatties - but a plate of hamburger and tatties just doesn't sound or taste the same.

...and the word "haggis" was absent throughout.

Thank you sam. The elderly lady had a mind like a razor and I found myself wondering if I lived to be 90 would I still have my faculties. As it is, I'm already forgetting what happened last week.

It was a fascinating day, Pat, and to think I had to force myself to go there. When I first read about the cross in the sky (seen by King Malcolm I think) I remember wondering if perhaps he had seen the jet trail from a couple of Concordes.

Oh, I wish I'd been there. It sounds wonderful.
I love bagpipes and the Scots spirit. I must admit to having a bit of that attitude (and Scots blood). And thank you for the info on St. Andrew. I'd never heard that about the cross.

Fancy meeting you her, lizzi. I'm glad you liked it. I must check with Google maps to see if there is a Drumnadrochit in Canada - it wouldn't surprise me. The Isle of Skye is a bleak and barren place, but then so are most of the Highlands.

Very interesting read. Vi visited Scotland last summer and stayed in picturesque places like Drumnadrochit and Isle of Skye.
