Letter to Dewey - Mayor of Ardencaple

Ardencaple is at the north west limit of present day Scotland, two days travel from the larger towns of Glasgow and Ayr. Arden is a fishing village, Scotland's smallest (not counting Ayr City). I have written to the mayor of Ardencaple, warning him of the impending visit by a number of MacTavish tour groups during our tour of Glasgow County.

Greetings Dewey,


I don't know if you have yet heard from your fastness at the head of the Loch, but a bunch of MacTavishes are about to land in your town. At reset, should be half a dozen of us, with a friend who is with us by the name of Jurl. On the morrow I am expecting probably this many again to be arriving. We intend departing the day following that. I think Lucifera and Stri will be putting us up for the night.

I think most of us have brought our own food so shouldn't cause you too many problems there. Some of our younger kin will probably seek out some day labour. The older amongst us plan on a day of fishing so we can soak our tired feet in the waters.

On a personal note, I must say that I have long been looking forward to casting my line out from your shores. So much so that we have come here ahead of Stirling in our travels.

Cheers,

Chief Dracmuller MacTavish of Whithorn

Since I sent the letter, he has already replied and said we are welcome to buy and work as we chose, and to enjoy the hospitality of the town.
