    We would not be in that because we haven't done Prestonpans for ten years.
    We did however see that Bonnie Prince Charlie Embroidery on the other clip. Eileen bought the book too and got the designer and quite a few of the embroiderers to autograph it. One of our members, Paul, was actually depicted in it.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Some of our mob were recognisable in the 2018 version Bill.

    We were Rose and Thistle, I have friends in Claymore, and we regularly fought against Pultneys over the years.

    Hi Bill.
    They said I was too old to be in the battle, and the only songs I could do were naval ones and also not acceptable to the Film Censor!

    Bligh.
