'nutha Scottish baggage element

[Hertsblue]

A sun worshipper who's lit a bonfire? Perhaps she's just drying her clothes?

[FierceKitty]

In Scotland? Waste of good fuel!

[Techno]

Could be using the smoke to keep the midges away ?

[Leman]

Nah.... she's just keeping abreast of the news.

[Hertsblue]

They've progressed to smoke-signals in Scotland now?

"But Tam kend what was what fu' brawlie:
There was ae winsome wench and waulie,
That night enlisted in the core,
Lang after ken'd on Carrick shore;
(For mony a beast to dead she shot,
And perish'd mony a bonie boat,
And shook baith meikle corn and bear,
And kept the country-side in fear.)
Her cutty-sark, o' Paisley harn
That while a lassie she had worn,
In longitude tho' sorely scanty,
It was her best, and she was vauntie,-
Ah! little ken'd thy reverend grannie,
That sark she coft for he wee Nannie,
Wi' twa pund Scots, ('twas a' her riches),
Wad ever grac'd a dance of witches!" - Rabbie Burns "Tam o'Shanter"

What?

[Ithoriel]

What?

SUBTITLES FOR FURRINERS

"But Tam knew what was what well enough:
There was one winsome, jolly wench,
That night enlisted in the core,
Long after known on Carrick shore
(For many a beast to dead she shot,
And perished many a bonnie boat,
And shook both much corn and barley,
And kept the country-side in fear.)
Her short underskirt, o' Paisley cloth,
That while a young lass she had worn,
In longitude though very limited,
It was her best, and she was proud. . .
Ah! little knew your reverend grandmother,
That skirt she bought for her little grandaughter,
With two Scots pounds (it was all her riches),
Would ever graced a dance of witches!"

We Scots have a reputation for raising the standard

Long may the proud haggis wave o'er the rippling tartan fields to the skirl of the cabers and the bonnie sporrans!

Yes you do tend to be quite  revolting from time to time.....

Yes, the one in the middle appears to be a variation of the Blue Peter - "I am about to leave harbour".

Looking good FK. I presume "Cutty Sark" started out as one  of the Amazon range?

No, she's a witch elf.  I presume the - umm - lady with her back to us is the other beggar woman with the rolling pin?

Cheers,

Holding what might well be a rolling pin.
