The Scots do have a sense of humour!
A vague link to the whisky session planned for the Annual Meet as well......
Some of you may know of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (of which I was a member for several years, now sadly lapsed). Their HQ is at The Vaults on Giles Street Edinburgh (in Leith). If you locate that on Google street view and go a few yards back up Giles Street you will see an apparent murder in progress! It has even been reported by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...-fife-27670099 This is in full view of the Members' Room, where I have tasted many a fine dram.
