No apology necessary.
If you are genuinely struggling to get what you are after, I can collect them from ER (if they have them) and drop them at Bisley.

I was joking a little
I doubt your hosts will know anything of it as it is on the 'drink island' and not the 'animal manure' one

I am not sure if the House of Bruar existed when I first went up to the highlands in 1985?
Travelling back on the second trip we had a mature Red Stag which was shot on the last day of our visit, and therefore we didnt have much time to prepare it for its journey back home.
I dont think it would have gone down well with a stag tied to the roof rack on a white Ford Orion and barely covered with a slightly tattered tarpaulin, pulling into their car park.
I must say I never noticed Bruar in those early days. Does anyone know when it was constructed ?

1995
"The House of Bruar - now Scotland’s foremost luxury country clothing store - first opened its doors back in 1995 on the site of what had previously been a quiet country pub situated at the foot of the historic Falls of Bruar.
Financed by founder Mark Birkbeck from the sale of his successful Jumpers chain of high street clothing shops in the 1980s, The House of Bruar was planned from the outset to showcase the very best in Scottish clothing, produce, art and fashion, bringing together the top brands in the country clothing world to create a shop window for Scotland where tourists and travellers could see the best of what Scotland has to offer in a single upscale retail destination".

So @Stalker1962, I hope you’re still planning on going after some proper billy goats on your upcoming trip.
When you’ve decked a big fella, make sure you carefully remove the scrotum. Ensure you leave enough skin from the crotch around the edges. Buy three of those small rugby balls they make for toddlers, a small one, a medium one, and a slightly bigger one. Soak the now cleaned and empty scrotum in very hot water, and carefully stretch it over the smallest rugby ball. Allow to dry, then repeat, using increasingly large balls (ha ha).
After some careful stretching and patience, you will end up with a perfect Scrotum Hat for your grandkid. Assuming your billy is sufficiently endowed, it will fit a newborn perfectly. A warm and cosy hunt-gatherer garment that Mum will relish putting on baby’s head at every opportunity.
I bet they don’t sell Scrotum Hats in the House Of Bruar.
You’re welcome.

Don't.
After a spot of rabbiting with the air-rifle yesterday morning I gave Artemis-the-spaniel some rabbitty titbits.
She disappeared off, I **presumed**, for a sniff round the lambing shed whilst I finished up.
Imagine my delight to find her 20mins later sitting on the passenger seat with a "butter wouldn't melt" look and a pile of vomited rabbity intestines/****/kidneys/various/other/wft?/liver not just on the seat (cover fortunately) but...in that gap between the console and the seat rails- yes, that one... you know it, really, really deep narrow, awkward to clean etc. Imagine my delight to pull one end of the intestine out, and keep pulling. Keep pulling.
More yet.
Ever wondered how long a rabbit's digestive tract is?
Too f*cking long is the answer.
Thank God for the chest saw blade and n+1 Dettol wipes.
Anyone want to buy a D4? Minty fresh with hints of country...

Better than shopping, as to quote from the House of Bruar catalogue:
"Our collection of knitwear never fails to disappoint".

Nice, if pricey, fish and chips to warm up half way for a trip out on the motorbikes but, wow, House of Bruar has become the place where shite clothes go to die...

@Edinburgh Rifles was offering to produce invoices of £50 fir every £500 spent at this famous emporium. These are to provide evidence of your spending on new toys so your loved one / s can spend an equal amount elsewhere - ie they can spend £500 when you have just bought a new Blaser and Scope.

I've been passing House of Bruar for years but never been in until last week when I had the wife with me so I suggested a drive out there to buy her something nice for her birthday. She was far from impressed though as all the womens clothing seems to be aimed at old dears on coach trips.
The men's section was much better but pricey, so in the end the only penny we spent was in the WCs.

20 years @bogtrotter .
20 years as my mentor, my teacher, my storyteller, my historian and my friend.
20 years and NOW I find this out...?
