Infidelity

Glencoe, my memory is a bit fuzzy. Is that where the massacre occured? (I think the Campbells were involved, but I can't recall how.)

That's the place. The Campbells mudered their hosts the McDonalds. They got up in the middle of the night and killed them as they slept.

To this day there is a sign in the reception area of the local hotel that says No HAWKERS or CAMPBELLS!

I remember looking at it, and how bare the hillsides were, no trees. I think there may have been one house. But you could never tell that it was once home to a clan. Very sad.

It's probably the single most frightening place in the land when it gets dark. You can almost swear you hear the screams.

Culloden, on the other hand, is a deathly quiet and chilling place. Just an open field where the battle took place.

Woe, but the land of Wallace is under the yoke and at bended knee.

*Cough, cough, splutter*

Sir, I protest. It is known to all, that it is the folk from the land of the Krankies that has the Parliament of Albion under the yoke, thus all Albion.

Culloden is beautifull in the daytime. There are flowers in the field and berries as well. It's such an odd place, all of Scotland, by looking at it, you would never guess how much violence there has been in its history. It makes the heart heavy.

Strange isn't. I haven't been there in a few years but it made a great impact at the time.

I was struck by the fact that there were many tourists there but you could hear a pin drop. Everyone spoke in whispers, aware of the history and the skulduggery that went on.

The quote you have taken from earlier in the thread referred to many years ago. Of course now, you're running scared in case we go and leave you with IDS as permanent Prime Minister!

I just want to point at that this thread has none of the adulterous fun the title promised

I think this could be said about the entire Highlands up above Inverness.

Not the bits I visit! There are large expanses of forest and open glens but there are plenty of towns and villages.

My geography isn't that great, I remember a number of the places I visited visually (cause I'm like that) and by name. I understand that the logging has gotten out of hand, and that Scotland's beauty may be lost for awhile though.

Logging did get excessive for a while and in some areas there are great swathes of bare forest. A full conservation programme is in full swing now but, you are right, it wilbe some years before they are back to their best.

Sir, please be informed that I make no claims that the situation is disagreeable. On the contrary, I have often found the brothers and sisters of the thistle and the scarlet rose to be of the highest standing.

They who are fair, stout of heart, with the brew of iron coursing through their veins make a most welcome contribution to the otherwise peculiar and often tawdry corridors of power that we regard as Whitehall.

I regret to say however, that said Mr. Ian Duncan Smith may be an unfortunate descendant of Nesbit.

I bid you good morrow.

I believe that Byron in Exile is also deceased, as is Jim Henson. My dear friends you converse with the spirits regularly, how can you be shocked?

When did Byron in Exile die? I just got an email from him yesterday.

I keep thinking Problem Child is dead, and someone forgot to tell him.

How's your gay son doing?

Re: Sorry PC,

but am I the only one who finds the gay jokes incredibly not funny?

Yes.

Well then, carry on. I'll sit and stare blankly.

It's not anti-gay, it's anti-killswitch.

You missed the opening setup so don't sweat it.
