One of the most diversely attended Fergusson Manor's last night: Knights, guests, Mary King's Close and Fergusson Project folk all remembering Robert.

Saturday, 27 Jan 2024 at 15:53, Steve, Stirling

Venison haggis on the menu tonight. Should make a man a man for a' that.

Sunday, 19 Feb 2023 at 18:38, Steve, Stirling

Visited the City Art Centre's Auld Reikie Retold exhibition today. Found a few tavern bills from the 1700s on display... and sixpence for the reckoning. :)

Great Manor conducted by Derran today; with some added spice from Matt as the modern day Fergusson.

Saturday, 28 Aug 2021 at 10:35, Steve, Tullibody

Great MMMM in Leeds. Thanks all. Great fun, if a little more sedate than normal: we're all well past spring chicken after all. Keep an eye out for a full report on the Manors page.

Looking forward to leading this Saturday's Glasgow Manor. Hopefully, Hollywood will stay out of the way! (Indiana Jones and Flash/Batman filming.)

Thursday, 15 Apr 2021 at 20:58, Steve, A house

Fingers crossed for decent weather to accompany the first outdoor Manor in a while.

Wednesday, 22 Jul 2020 at 17:04, Steve, Leith

Looking forward to this evening's Manor: big changes ahead.

Wednesday, 29 Apr 2020 at 18:30, Steve, Scotland

Big video quiz night tonight.

Saturday, 12 Oct 2019 at 11:44, Steve, Hammy Wynd

Great Turtle Feast last night. Thanks all.

Tuesday, 24 Sep 2019 at 21:37, Steve, Home

Two writers expected at the Fergusson Manor on Thursday. Both guests. One wrote Tribes of Glasgow. Should give an interestingly different angle to the standard proceedings.

Monday, 16 Sep 2019 at 15:49, Steve, Larbert

Who's coming to the Turtle Feast on Fri 11 Oct? Spurtles oot!

Wednesday, 29 May 2019 at 07:52, Steve, Stirling

Back to SMWS in the Vaults tomorrow. Keep a tight hold on your purse.

Tuesday, 11 Dec 2018 at 11:11, Steve, Cardiff

What news of a date for a Grand Cape meeting? Winter solstice?

Tuesday, 16 Oct 2018 at 20:26, Steve, Stirling

Turtle Feast was good this year. Currently enjoying a chat with a fellow Stirling-based Knight.

Wednesday, 22 Aug 2018 at 10:46, Steve, Edinburgh

What a great Modern Mega Manor in Prague. Thanks all.

Sunday, 17 Jun 2018 at 06:47, Steve, Fort William

The mind of a Knight is a convivial one. As such, today, I will be mostly convivial. Slainte.

Wednesday, 25 Oct 2017 at 16:15, Steve, Polmont

It's Chico... I mean TURTLE time!

Monday, 07 Aug 2017 at 11:16, Steve, Dublin

Plane delayed an hour. Bad news for jaded Knights at the end of an intensive and fun-filled, convivial Modern Mega Manor (MMM).

Thursday, 22 Jun 2017 at 00:15, Sir Kirk, Scottish Borders

Up late and walking away.

Thursday, 27 Apr 2017 at 17:12, Steve, Windsor Buffet

Last night's Manor was an excellent insight in to the urbanisation of the post-apocalyptic industrial landscape that is Bonnington and Pilrig. Well presented Martin.

Thursday, 30 Mar 2017 at 21:59, Steve, Leith

What a win at the darts last night by Kirsty. Well done Gogs the pool winner too.

Hi Rick. The Cape Society emailed a reply to avenueagency@hotmail.com It's a guess at the suffix of the email address as the web site has chopped the end off. Send an email to edinburghcapesociety@gmail.com if need be. Thanks.

Saturday, 03 Dec 2016 at 15:13, Rick Wilson, avenueagency@hotmail

Can anyone help? I'm a writer doing some research on Robert Fergusson and noticedthe word 'Scotts' on his application to the club, viewable at the National Library. Would that have been a reference to Scott's tavern in Rose Street? Grateful for info.

Friday, 23 Sep 2016 at 21:32, Steven, Santa Monica

I'm looking forward to visiting Rab on Wednesday.

Friday, 09 Sep 2016 at 02:16, Steven, St Louis

Sunday, 07 Aug 2016 at 22:14, Steven, Bed

FOUR!!! Tomorrow's Golf Manor at Bruntsfield will be swinging.

Wednesday, 25 May 2016 at 18:09, Steven, Leith

I just finished the Manor reccy and realised I'd never clocked Raeburn House before. Shocking!

Saturday, 21 May 2016 at 23:50, SB, Leith

The streets are alive with the sound of High Bees.

Wednesday, 06 Apr 2016 at 05:54, Martin, Madrid

Tuesday, 01 Mar 2016 at 15:34, Steven, Leith

Thursday, 04 Feb 2016 at 01:54, Steven, Leith

Tonight's meeting was charged.

Sunday, 24 Jan 2016 at 12:42, Pentland, Earth

Thanks to Steve and Helena for an excellent and convivial Burns evening ....the Balmoral Haggis bites were scrumptious.....and so was the Auchentoshan.

Thursday, 21 Jan 2016 at 11:30, Steven, Leith

I'm looking forward to Burn(s)ing this Saturday!

Sunday, 03 May 2015 at 07:29, spinny, stirling

Wee Stevie bought a bottle of fine whisky, whilst walking home, he fell, he the felt something wet on his pants, he looked up at the sky and said "Oh Lord please, I beg you, let it be blood!! Haha

Tuesday, 31 Mar 2015 at 02:09, Kirk, Doon the borders

Come and visit my caravan this summer!

Saturday, 16 Feb 2013 at 22:57, Steve, Leith

Hi John. Drop a note of your email or contact details to this email address: edinburghcapesociety@gmail.com The Cape Society has at least one member who knew Jimmy from as early as 1965 and may be able to help you. Thanks.

Tuesday, 12 Feb 2013 at 17:16, John McAuley, Kent

I'm trying to trace the career of my old school teacher James (Jim) Grubb. Grateful if anyone can help.

Thursday, 31 Jan 2013 at 14:54, N,L., Leith

Just clocked the Burns Night photos. Well done the Cape. Great effort by Derran. Lovely hoose and table setting.

Saturday, 26 Jan 2013 at 01:52, Colin, Crewe Terrace

Orkney says I love balls of haggis on an eclectic evening.

Friday, 11 Jan 2013 at 20:44, N.L., Leith

Report on Cameo bar seconded. Photos an added bonus to the memory of the evening. Well done the Reproducer.

Friday, 11 Jan 2013 at 14:09, Martin, ma hoose

Thursday, 03 Jan 2013 at 21:46, Steve, The Links

Merry New Year! See you at Cameo on Friday for a more personal and true Cape-ish message.

Monday, 24 Dec 2012 at 13:43, Steve, Edinburgh

It is Christmas Eve and not a creature is stirring. Apart from Caped Crusaders, of course! Have a Great Day tomorrow one and all!

Sunday, 09 Dec 2012 at 12:50, Steve, Leith

Great party hosted by Lady Dave in Porty yesterday... and even better to see Dave skip hospital! Pure Cape-ish-ness. GWS (get well soon, not the other one) Thanks all.

Friday, 02 Nov 2012 at 20:24, Steve, Edinburgh

Seconded N. Leith. It was a top night. Here's hoping 2013 will have a Denmark-twinned-with-Leith theme!

Monday, 29 Oct 2012 at 12:28, N. Leith, H.W.

Excellent report on T.Feast. Photos equally good. Cheers to next year.

Friday, 28 Sep 2012 at 11:51, N. Leith, H.W.

Good traditional manor, by look of photos. Contemplative fun that Fergusson would surely appreciate.

Saturday, 15 Sep 2012 at 08:06, meadows, house
