Welcome to the Sixty-Eighth WebEdition of The Magazine.

Well, here we are again. This is the start of the online Mag's
8th year and I wish all of you
wonderful folks out there a Happy and Peaceful New year for 2005.
Many of you have already been able to join in the Scotland trip
enjoyed by our good friends
Marie and Janet Morrison, my wife Helen and me which we took in June 2004.
If you haven't already seen our photographs, you'll find them at
www.members.aol.com/kintyremag.june2004/
Please feel free to copy, save and use any of them that you like.
I hope to post more photographs this year so, if you have any
that you'd like to put up for
the Mag readers, send them to me with a wee bit of background info.
I get a lot of genealogical queries in my inbox and, although the Mag isn't primarily a genealogical site, I'm quite happy to post them in the Wee Drams page in the hope that you folks can help. You have in the past and I'm sure that you'll continue to do so in the future.
I'd like, also, to repeat my offer and request: If any of you good folks out there have a story, an article or just something you want to say, email it to me and I'll post it in the Mag.
There's a page waiting with your name on it.
Take good care of yourselves.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Until the next time
Ca' canny.
