Balfarg Henge, whose modern setting in the middle of a housing estate on the north-east edge of Glenrothes in Fife would be very alien to its ancient builders. This ritual site dates back over six thousand years. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glenrothes/balfarghenge/index.html

My daughter and I did some urban archaeology in #Glenrothes today. This used to be a house and sawmill. I used to come here when I was at school and pick up sacks of sawdust and wood shavings for the animal cages. Last time I was here, five years or so ago, it was fenced off and protected by security cameras. Now it’s just open and anyone can walk in there.

We had a cozy little gathering with just a handful of friends Saturday, with no theme other than to try some 'good stuff'. We whetted our appetites with a couple of small sample sets my wife gave me shortly after we met. 12 samples in total, just enough for small tasting pours.

Friends brought Mehkong cane spirit from Thailand. My neighbors brought a 23 year Glen Rothes 1997 Cask Strength and a nice beer from Amory’s Tomb Brewing Co., which we used as a palate cleanser part way through the evening.

I just kept pulling things, and in the end we went through 20 of my bottles over the course of the evening. It was an amazing night, so many good bottles.

Not in the order we did them, in part because I didn't record the specific order and in part because I can't be arsed to try to remember:
Wild Turkey Master's Keep Triumph
High West Bottled In Bond rye & Cask Collection bourbon finished in Barbados rum barrels
Glenmorangie 1987 Margaux Cask Finish, Distillery Manager's Choice bottled 2001, Cote De Nuits Wood Finish, 30 year Oloroso Cask Finish, Tain L'Hermitage 1975, Tain L'Hermitage 1978, Year of the Rabbit 23 year old, Grand Vintage Malt 1991, and Carn Mor "Celebration of the Cask" Westport (Glenmo in disguise)
Amrut Greedy Angels 12 year, Spectrum 004, and Single Cask Single Grain
Clan Denny 1991 Cameronbridge 29 year & 1978 Port Dundas 33 year single grains
Copper & Cask "Roxie" rye & "French Kiss" bourbon from Julio's Liquors
And, last but not least, Compass Box Great King Street Experimental Batch 00-V4

There may have been a couple of other random silly things at the end... 😉

The north side of Balbirnie Stone Circle. The circle comprises eight stones in a partial circle some 15m in diameter and was probably erected over 4,000 years ago. It stands close to the A92 on the eastern side of Glenrothes in Fife. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glenrothes/balbirniecircle/index.html

Pleased that the first #TheSNP #leadership #hustings in #Cumbernauld went so well last night thanks to candidates willing to debate respectfully and party members determined to focus on issues of importance to the people of #Scotland. #livestreaming them all is the right decision and now look forward to chairing next one in #Glenrothes on Friday at 6.30pm and then #Inverness on Saturday https://www.youtube.com/live/cdBKjVruT9E?feature=share
