Cullzean is amazing. I still have the book you sent me about it. And, of course it is where the silver razor came from!

Wow, that's amazing! I don't remember that line from Dr Faustus! Of course you can't mention Faustus and Archie in the same breath without me posting this....

How is Scotland so beautiful?

You know that there a fic has to be written now where Archie plies Horation with delicious Culzean grapes?

One of our natural talents ;)

Hmmm....I do believe there could be a plot bunny in there! Although, I don't think Archie is actually descended directly from the Kennedys of Culzean, I think his lineage goes back to The Factor ;)
