29 The trig point on Craiglee is built straight onto the rock. Here I am looking SW over to the Minnigaff Hills (Curleywee on the left, and Lamachan on the right with Bennanbrack ridge in between).
Below we have Dunkie having a warming up dram at the trig point on that icicle day some years ago - Slainthe Mhath
"Slainthe mhath" which is one of the few Gaelic expressions that most Scots would know (pronounced slawn’-che-va) is Gaelic for “good health to you” and is usually the last words you hear before your dram disappears.
If you are interested in such things here is a link to an amazing Danish website. Even just to see the whisky swirling in the glass is worth a click though I am not so sure about the ice in the whisky!!!!!!! Who needs ice anyway on a day like this pictured below.
