Greetings from Bonny Scotland!
2008-05-13 18:58:00 After my temporary resurrection from my sick bed, to make last week's peanut butter torte, I hope you'll all give me a break about opting out this week. I went from my sick bed to the airport last Wednesday night and flew off to Edinburgh with E to visit my best girlfriend. A good time was had by all and with the help of some spicy curries and fabulously decadent cocktails, I was soon feeling right as rain again. All in all we had a lovely long weekend and enjoyed Edinburgh at its most beautiful, under sunny and cloud-less skies, a pleasant surprise and a rarity according to the locals. I have several addresses to share with all you food connisseurs, but want to give them the full praise that they deserve, so I'll be posting about them later this week. In the meantime, please stop by the Tuesdays with Dorie blog to find out what all the other TWD bakers got up to!

Scotland I'm going to miss you
2008-04-27 15:17:00 Last night, while chillaxin' (hint: use this word if you wanna be seen to be 'down' with the kids) in the living room with the family, I looked out the window and was struck by the beauty of the sunset. It's really not often that we see a cloudless sky in Scotland, but we do get beautiful sunsets fairly often, especially in the summer months. I had to jump up and immediately take some snaps before the colours evaporated into the darkness (although this was 'frowned upon' by the other residents in the street as they peered out their windows at me in disgust, thinking I was taking photos through their net curtains like some paparazzi kid. I mean does my camera look like binoculars to you?! I wasn't spying! Anyway...). They came out pretty damn well even if I do say so myself. Just wanted to share them with you.And in other news, I have booked my one way ticket to Paris. Oh la la la la. C'est parti!I

Sometimes it’s the location of the castle that’s the attraction as opposed to the interior of the castle. However as I like getting off the beaten track my choice of castles reflects this.

Up Yer Kilt Hugh Cheape from Mel Gibson and Me
2008-04-20 00:03:00 Apparently all those Braveheart images of uncouth semi naked highlanders dashing into battle with their bagpipes and kilts is just romantic imagination. Well blaw me doon.But contrary to popular belief, the great Highland bagpipe never led the Scottish clans into battle against the English, nor did kilted pipers carry them around the castles of Highland chieftains, playing laments to the fallen. In fact, says a new history by a leading authority on the much-loved ? and loathed ? instrument, the Highland bagpipe was invented less than 200 years ago, primarily for urban audiences. And what's more, it was largely created using money from wealthy Scottish emigres living in London. In a new book, Hugh Cheape, a leading Gaelic historian and expert piper, argues that the origins of the instrument have been confused by decades of mythology and deliberate invention; even, he hints, by deception. Like most tartan regalia and the modern kilt, the great Highland bagpipe and many of its traditi...

Is Scotland's Barnett going to be cut?
2008-03-26 10:38:00 Nick Robinson is prophesying the end of the Barnett Formula. Nick believes that Labour Ministers are in flap over the formula because the are worried that George Osborne may propose scrapping it. And that will be a massive vote winner in England.And George knows that the government are struggling over the formula's future:"These leaked documents suggest that while Gordon Brown refuses to consider any changes to the Barnett formula, Jack Straw is arguing for change, leaving Alistair Darling, as usual, the weak man in the middle. "The Government's spending policy is being pulled apart by the warring members of the Cabinet."The Barnett Formula gives a subsidy of £1500 to each Scottish citizen. That money comes from the English tax payer and unsurprisingly many (myself included) want to see this outdated formula scrapped. Taxes are high enough under this government without sending a load of what is collected to Scotland.
