I have a friend whose farm has a wheelhouse which is why I figured what the pic was, his surname coincidentally is also Wheelhouse. BTW the pic that I posted above is one of my customers wheelhouses.

Argghh.. I knew what the circle were, but wasn't on the computer in time to beat the answer.

What part of Scotland is that? It's very pretty countryside.

[Grassfarmer]

Its the SW of Scotland Kato, the Stewartry district of Dumfries and Galloway region. Quite scenic and quite varied - 20 miles from the coast and 20 miles from the heather clad peaks of the Southern Upland range.

Well, who wood a thunk it? I figered it for a place yall had your pints and drank that good scotish whiskey. And also dressed up in them kilt mini skirts and werein no drawers and doin that jumpy dancein to some good old timey scottish poka music. Why don't me and u make the treck back over to the old country? I got a little scot blood in me. I'd love to go to one of them dances and learn them the okachobee stomp and the boar hog grind. U set it up and we'll go. Tell them to have plenty of good whiskey ready when we lite down. We'll stay about a week or 2. Or till they run us off.

Going to Scotland has always been on the top of my to do list. My Dad's side of the family comes from a little north of there, around Kilmartin in Argyle. My Mom's side came from around Dundee, so other than being born eighth generation Canadian, I'm still a Scot at heart. The closest thing to having a mixed up background for me is that one side were Highlanders, and the other side were not.

Some day I'll get there.

[cowhunter]

I figer myself to be highlander bred. On acount of me bein a little or lot, hot headed and not whiskey friendly. But I can hear a good scottish tune and get a lump in my throt, me a yurnin for the kilt and no drawers of the highlanders. A tune like oh danny boy. And I've always been braged on about my dancein ability and stanima. I'd dare say that me and some cowboy buddys of younger years, developed and perfected a still popular dance that is still in use today, in southfla honkeytonks.the boar hog grind. It would have never been perfected or would have fallen to the wayside, extenct, if it wernt for my scottish highlander breedin. I have all ideays. I wish I had a way to video this dance and share it with all my new buddys on rancher. Though I wood have to rest and only be able to holt out about a min.it wood b some good watchin!!

I don't have any of the Highland (or teuchtar as we call it) blood in me. No kilts, can't stand the whisky or the ceilidhs. Can still enjoy a bagpipe lament though - a powerful and haunting sound.
I can see you now cowhunter, doing a highland fling to an okachobee beat - you do know that you dance over the top of two sharp swords might not be the best combination after a few jugs of whisky

[cowhunter]

Yea, I better stay home. I don't hear the pipes callin. I can stand a little of them pipes but I figger after a while the dronein would wear on me. Fueled on scottish whiskey, the flat woods cracker would come out in me and they would send us or me packin for me gettin tired of them pipes. Of corse now, if theyed keep the fiddle out, I have all ideays we would get to stay longer. But then the scottish lasses would be all over me. All wontin there dances. This bein a whole nother can of worms, I figer yall better make the treck with out me. My wife said she asures u, not to take me.

[Nigel]

Oh I forgot Grasshunter, do you need my address so you can send the prize along

[Kato]

I could listen to bagpipes till my ears wore out. It guess it's genetic. A friend of my brothers played the pipes in a band back when we were kids, and I would go sit on the steps and listen to her practice. She lived on the next block, so I guess the whole neighbourhood listened to her practice. Either you love them or you don't.

But I must admit, whiskey is not something I've acquired a taste for.
