"Spirit of Fairbridge" - looks like you get to share that hauf. (I know, generous to a fault).
Here she is looming out of the gloom on a dreich day at the SE end of the Sound of Mull:

Threw me a bit in your original post - it looked as if she was sailing! Seen her dotting around the Clyde quite a bit - but always with the engine on

Thanks Brendan, missed that thread.
Small world. I believe that they usually open it for the Appin show, which was last week.

In the name of the Lord, we demand entrance to this sacred castle!
Isn't that the castle where the holy grail was meant to be, only to have some Frenchman telling you a few home truths?
"No chance, English bed-wetting types. I burst my pimples at you and call your door-opening request a silly thing, you tiny-brained wipers of other people's bottoms!"

As far as I recall, the Monty Python castle was Doune Castle, just up the road from here (I'm in Stirling). Nice place, Doune.

Re: In the name of the Lord, we demand entrance to this sacred castle!
Seems both Castle Stalker and Doune Castle appeared in the Holy Grail:
<ul type="square">
The east wall of Doune Castle where the opening scene of Monty Python and the Holy Grail takes placeWhen Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed on location in Scotland in 1974, the producers had gained permission from the National Trust for Scotland to film scenes at several of their Scottish castles, as well as the permission of the (private) owner of Doune Castle (using a different location for each of the fictional castles shown in the film). As the date of filming neared, managers at the Trust became skittish and withdrew their permission to film at their properties, leaving the Pythons' producers with little time to find new locations. In desperation, they decided to use different sides of Doune Castle to depict the different castles in the film, relying on rather tight framing of shots to maintain the illusion.
At the start of the film King Arthur and Patsy "ride" up (clip-clopping coconut shells) to the walls of Doune castle to ask for men to join Arthur's court, but a soldier on the battlements gets them into an argument as to how the king acquired coconuts in a temperate zone, and whether a swallow could have brought the coconut. Later, their dream of (only a model) Camelot is illustrated by the Knights of the Round Table doing a song and dance routine in the Great hall. Then John Cleese shouts down abuse in an outrageous French accent and cows etc. are hurled from the battlement, followed by a failed wooden rabbit of Troy trick.
Shortly afterwards at "Castle Anthrax" Sir Galahad the chaste is chased by seductive "girlies" in Doune Castle's servery and kitchen.
An arranged marriage in a room at Doune Castle ("Swamp Castle") turns to mayhem when Lancelot arrives, attacking guards and guests on his way past a wedding dance in the courtyard and up the steps to the room.
The exception is at the end of the film, when Arthur and the knights get more outrageous French abuse from the battlements of Castle Stalker.
The south wall of Doune Castle rising above the river bank.Doune Castle has become a place of pilgrimage for Monty Python devotees [2], who can walk about the castle recalling scenes from the film, sometimes with the aid of coconut shells from the custodian. Re-enactments go through slightly mangled versions of the plot. The special DVD version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail includes a documentary with Michael Palin and Terry Jones revisiting the sites used for filming, with suitable emphasis on Doune Castle.
