Pedal for Scotland

ohno!.....not the MacGregors.

Don't ask me why- all I know is that he was a trouble maker- the rumors are that the same fellow was kicked out (or otherwise had to leave quickly for some sort of scandalous reason or other) of both Scotland and Ireland. My grandmother did some digging around a few years ago to do up her geneology. She originally was looking at Scotland to find the MacAfoos's, but it turns out the Greggs were the Scots and MacAfoos, or Macafoos, whatever, was actually a misspelling of Muckenfus - a German or possibly Pennsylvania Dutch name.

Here's a fine Scottish song by the bard - Robert Burns - and a fine Scottish singer for those of you missing the motherland

A bike ride in Glasgow you say? I'd love to join in, if I can sort out transport and time and money. I'll think about it. Could you send me a link to any info about it? Glasgow isn't that hard to get to by train, but I would need somewhere to stay over night as the train journey takes most of the day each way.

As for Burn's night, we did a belated one on Saturday with a friend from Glasgow and several international friends. Always fun to scare people with haggis and then see them very surprised when they discover it is actually quite tasty.

Trek beat me to it with the link. I've been away on a two day residential management development course and am still recovering from the ensuing waves of nausea.

Trek is just trying to make amends for her prevous faux pas in confusing Scotland and England. She is now much better informed

PM me if you have any questions - about the ride not the management course, obviously.
