A Warm Welcome

Monday just past saw a wildfire strike Fort William, just north of "Jimmy Savile's" Glencoe, in Scotland. The place takes it's name from protestant, William of Orange, the catholic hating Dutch prince so beloved of Glasgow Rangers football supporters. Local MP, Charles Kennedy, described the blaze as "unprecedented". The Glencoe massacre was a blood sacrifice to William of Orange and his House of Stuart wife Mary. (BBC News)

Yesterday morning saw chaos in neighbouring Inverness, a "horrendous" fire at the Eastgate Backpackers Hostel causing the closure of the High Street  from Inglis Street to Crown Road. Dozens were evacuated in their nightclothes, the Red Cross helping out. (BBC News)
