Glad you appreciate it! One of our best beers is called Old Peculiar!

Peculiar DOES mean "special!" ;-)) It`s better than being ORDINARY isn`t
it?


As Pat says, peculiar (or peculier) has special significance. In the UK
a Royal Peculiar (or Peculier) is a chapel that falls directly under the
jurisdiction of the British monarch, rather than a diocese. Here in
Scotland there is just one such place - the chapel at the Palace of
Holyrood.

I hope you have better luck than we did! When we got there it was closed to
the public because the Queen was coming.

However, we did get to see the Queen and Princess Anne drive past from King
Arthur`s Seat, led by a pipe band!

Suggest you try to avoid the time she`s at Balmoral for her summer break,
just in case!

If you are going to visit Scotland it is well worth joining "Historic
Scotland", if you are going to visit a lot of sites the annual
subscription will save you a lot of money.

I can give you the address of Isa Nicolson, a lovely lady crofter on Skye
who does B+B. She is right by (and owns the raparian rights to) the river
Hinnisdahl, in Snizort, which is is where Bonny Prince Charlie was spotted
lifting his skirt too high as he wades across. Someone spotted his hairy
legs and realised that THAT was no maidservant!
