St Andrew's Day

Dracmuller MacTavish looks up at the most recent work on the clan's new Lodge. It's taking a bit longer than first planned, but is looking good. Everyone seems to have been fairly busy recently it seems, and with our carpenter heading off to the newly proclaimed County of Ayr from his original scottish home in Whithorn, why, things have been even more disjointed at the Lodge. Still, we've now got the roof trusses and structural beams up. Next step will be to extend the roof downwards to cover the side galleries, methinks.

...

After we'd finished work on the Lodge for the day we all tucked in to a fine feast in honour of this grand day. Many of us have raised a toast to our patron saint, Andrew, in our local taverns already by the time we get here, so the food certainly doesn't go astray!

Sit down, relax, and raise your glass to scotland!

Piper Tom, waking up a little late after his 'preparations' last night for today, has decided to play an old favorite today to honour the occasion. For war and celebration, 'The Brave' is one of scotland's most well known tunes.
