Default Claymore..Laird of all Scots Scuttlebutters.

ttHere we are in the land of milk & honey, towering mountains, very deep water and lot's of rocky bits....totally overpowering for this E.coast, mud & big sky loving type! Having traversed the East coast, the firths and the fourths, The Caledonian, Loch Eil, Linne, Aline,and Sunart, needed restocking on the food,booze,& ciggy front....so came into Tobermory yesterday, as we came into the pontoons, followed by that which I assumed was my icon of scots scuttlebuttery...the redoubtable Claymore!....How kind, he's seen the but burgee! and hastened to welcome the good ship Highland Lass so far from home. Now tis true that we have taken our time enjoying the trip.....but 'twas not my hero....but Har.master from Clyde!....with a dreadful tale of woe....So apologising if it is/was old news....but has the proper Claymore & owner recovered from contac with Jura?....hope all is well with you.

I am told that there are two Claymores called Claymore in the places of which you speak.

A bit like the proliferation of Tarberts. Must be a West Coast of Scotland thing [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Verification should be sought on bluemoment.

Sounds to me like an opportunity to resurrect a Very Auld Thread. Jimi?

You've met the other Claymore, Claymore. Claymore's Claymore, Claymore, is presently down south. Her skipper is reportedly browsing though pilot guides for Denmark and the Baltic. What does it all mean?

As already said by t'others - you've met the wrong Claymore. You've met this one.





It causes confusion - even on BlueMoment Forum. Follow link for clarification.
