  Auld Scottish Welcome

  "And there's a hand, my trusty fere!
  
  And gie's a hand o' thine!"
  
  Robert Burns - the Scottish Bard - 1759 - 1796

  And there's a hand, my trusty friend!

  And give me your own hand!

   

  

  With such an introduction, it will come as little surprise to learn that Scots Hospitality is on the agenda.
  
  The quaich is seen again on the "Burns Lunch 7 Feb 2010" page at the foot of the side panel.
