Cha robh mi a' smaoineachadh gum faicinn Thumper Sasannach ri taobh soidhne Gàidhlig riamh! Sgoinneil!
I never thought I'd see an English thumper beside a Gaelic sign! Cool!
If you had told me a couple of years ago that the trusty DEMU would make it to Scotland, I'd have laughed right back at you
But there it is, tucked away in Edinburgh Waverley with an adventure to the Highlands. Utterly, utterly brilliant 🥹
