The kilt was not worn to the Hogmanay party - in favour of trousers, shirt, tie, and waistcoat.
After me getting it pressed too!

SG what did your visitors make of the Hogmany Ceilidh? (note I've used the Scottish spelling as a mark of respect)
Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.

Very nice. Straight out of Homes & Gardens or World of Interiors. No sign of a fairy on the top, though...
"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
My arse is too tight to sit on the top of the tree - thought you'd have guessed
Now that the glitter of Christmas is fading, what may I ask are you going to do to stave off the mind numbing boredom? Three months of a brutal Scottish winter for a young man with no work to occupy him is going to be difficult. In retrospect, would it not have better to bring him over in the summer?
About as much as I made of it - extremely nontraditional - bring back Andy Stewart or the Alexander Brothers. However we did meet a real character - a 70+yo woman who had been on XFactor and BGT.
Anyhoo:
No doubt Len can post some Morris dancers or Ferret racing as 'culture'

I thought you wrote he had a 6 month visa so he could have come over in April. No matter, you'll need to find a way to keep him occupied. Boredom can be very destructive.
