Should I change my name to Anne McFaster then???

Noooo  Yours sounds better ...but at least it still sounded Scottish I popped along to the Hampden Park on Sunday and thought this was so patriotic ...I loved it ..!!

Hi everyone,

I just got home tonight and I'm catching up on the posts...I've been fidgety all week because I didn't have access to the internet 

Fantastic photos...I want to add that I had a great time on Saturday and it was so lovely meeting you all...thanks to Gadget and Julian for the planning 

Don't want to duplicate the pics so have just a few to add...a couple of them daft!

So glad that we went to the Necropolis...what a wonderful place...I could have happily spent all day there.

Here's the daft ones - Billy Connolly's banana boots and the "Tardis"

Even more excellent photos!  Thanks, Elaine

Glad you enjoyed it - the sun came out at the right time.  (But I don't expect you'd have fancied staying there all night!)

Hmmm.... if Scottish Spirits could talk eh .... there were a few famous people there that somehow we didn't know    is that us or them ?

I'm ashamed to say that I didn't recognise any of the names that I saw but was chuffed to bits to find the author of Wee Willie Winkie...William Miller. If I'd gone further up, I'd have found John Knox...ah well, next time 

Found a guide to the Necropolis here http://www.rootschat.com/links/023a/ which I'll definitely take next time.
