Yes, welcome!
I'll look forward to seeing some images of the Isle of Lewis. We were on the Isle of Skye a couple of weeks ago, so not that far from you as the crow flies!

Thanks for the warm welcome and looking forward to posting some island shots in due course.
Ah Polchraine you are right there in that there is nowhere that does the "marag dubh" as well. I can't say i've had Buckie haggis, but i work with a lot of chaps from there offshore so i'll make a point of getting one.

Hebridean - just one problem though, you need to know which butcher to buy it from! And that's my secret - hopefully three will be in the post to London fairly soon. One on arrival, one at New Year and one on Burns Night.
Interestingly, I actually fish with a couple of Hebrideans from Lewis!

Point,
Isle of lewis
My first camera over twentyfive years ago was a Pentax then a Minolta, a Nikon and finally a Canon. I then entered the digital age with Fujifilm somethingorother point and shoot ten years ago and for the past five years i've had a Lumix LX1, which i have enjoyed using but have by the same measure found frustrating to use. So i decided to bite the bullet and get another SLR.
Coming from 35mm i find the whole digital process to be far too complicated in comparison and i'm sure that there are a lot like me out there who know how to take a photograph and just want the best sensor and metering system without the teasmaid thrown in.
Anyway i did a lot of reasearch and decided on the Km because it consistently got better reviews over its main rival and seems to be considered user friendly (no teasmaids). I also liked my old Pentax and disliked the idea that some people who work for the largest UK camera chain who doesn't stock Pentax told me that they are not as technologically advanced and not worth stocking!
That statement was what did it for me and i bought my Pentax the very next day.
Anyway i look forward to visiting this forum in the future and possibly bending a few ears.
Many thanks to you all.
