I have been looking at your threads about conventions. Seems you load of individualistas cannot agree on anything!
I volunteer my home in SW Scotland as a base. Nearby Wigtown has 27 second hand bookshops. The area is beautiful, beaches, hills, forests, cycling, fishing, shooting. There is a book festival every August. Artists community in nearby Kircudbright. Glasgow and Edinburgh easy reach by train for more culture.
I can accommodate 5 and feed 12, but plenty of accommodation nearby.
Not looking to make a profit out of anyone, but pay me costs, I am not rich.
Would love to meet some of you!
How close is this to the place where they filmed I know where I'm going! (Powell and Pressburger, 1945)?
Western Isles, Scottish Hebrides, I think it was, a town called Mull? I never particularly wanted to visit Scotland before, but the draw of that whirlpool is irresistible.
Nearby Wigtown has 27 second hand bookshops.
Impressive!
Mull is an island 1 1/2 hours and a ferry ride away. I stayed there once in a castle, very nice, but not as nice as here!
Mull of Kintyre (Paul McCartney) is further North.
PS
naughty Wickerman festival yearly (seen the film?).
History +++++++, even some archaeological digs nearby.
Stupendous walks, Beautiful public gardens.
Dear me, I sound like a travelogue!
The Wickerman! The Wickerman! When is it? I might be in Scotland this summer!
(I think Convention 2013 is in Boston. 2014 is still open:) 7zenomaxFeb 22, 2012, 4:48pm

# 11 probably correct, although that's not to say it isn't something we can aspire to
How else are we going to catch a unicorn?
12-13 two most heartwarming posts on the subject of virginity I've seen all morning. 15citygirlFeb 23, 2012, 11:53am
What're we gonna do with a unicorn anyway?
It can babysit the goats? 17A_musingFeb 23, 2012, 11:54am
I don't know. I'd rather have a narwhal. 18citygirlFeb 23, 2012, 12:03pm
Where you gonna keep it?
In the bath, along with the book overspill 20Sandydog1Edited: Feb 23, 2012, 7:27pm
>11 In some parts of my country, they'd call those perky Scottish lasses, two "utes" Aw, hell, if we're gonna go to Wickerman, we mightaswell go here as well: http://www.burningman.com/ |  346 members 60,189 messages  AboutThis topic is not marked as primarily about any work, author or other topic.
