    Yep, Newburgh is in Fife

    As I said - maybe anything closer to Glasgow?

    There are several as close as your keyboard.

    John Taylor in Inver near Dunkeld isn't any closer to you. Never heard of any in the Glasgow area I'm afraid.

    Thornes of Scotland (and Fife, and Newburgh) have a sale coming up in a fortnight.

    I know. Isn't it awful that we just talk about and even link to commercial suppliers whenever we like on this forum?! And even tolerate folk talking about other beekeeping fora?! Some people will not know what we're on about, but hey, sometimes less is more.

    If you can wait till Sept. You could kill two birds with one stone and go to the SBA conference in Perth where there are a few suppliers selling their wares

    Excellent suggestion Jimbo. 10th September. Only £25 (and you can double that to join and get a monthly magazine thrown in for free). See the flyer linked to from this page for details:

    PS And the journey is several miles short of Newburgh!

    Any chance of seeing fisticuffs between Gavin R and Eric McA
    I'd pay £25 for a ringside seat.
