After a day's writing, hopped up to Glasgow for dinner. As you do.

Anderston Cross is not the prettiest. Indeed on a dark night it could be thought scary. A warm June evening though; fine.

It's Partick... of Thistle fame. Billy Conolly country.

Cousin Lorna and her Jim take us the the Buttery or the Two Fats as it's better known here. A famous eatery from the Eighties relocated and reborn here.

Jim's boy Kenneth knows the owner; Gavin since school so we get a good table. You approach what's clearly a converted Bar painted a forbidding grey with some doubts. Looks cold. But the door opens and it's one of those restaurants where you immediately feel 'home'. Wood panelling polished silverware white napkins well-stocked bar. And smiling Gavin.

Dinner with old friends. Very old. What nicer? A great 06 Coonawarra Cab. Forget the name.

Anyway early flight and just coming in to land on Islay. Distillery time!!!!
