I'm off tomorrow for a week in Aberdeen visiting my sister and BIL.
Top on my list is to do some of the local distillery tours. All that
shiny copper, you know. After that (or between while recuperating) do
any of you have favorite metalworking or model engineering places to
visit? Thanks.

Don't know where it is in relation to Aberdeen but I would love to
visit the Falkirk Wheel on the Socttish canals.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! And get us some shots of the guts of that monster
ride, eh, Pete? Cool!
P.S: Pet Nessie and give her a big hug for me, please.

That's a ways from Aberdeen, we'll see. Of course, nothing's all that
far really. By Google Earth, it's 127 mi. from my sister's house,
about 3 hours.
Thanks for the ideas, everybody. I'm out of here. Report in a week+.

One of the local people, another volunteer in the outdoors group, just

Some peice of engineering. He was impressed.
