[edit] Stub notices
I have removed the stub notices. I consider that the article is no longer a stub. Capitalistroadster 14:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Separate article for Weir's Way?
I didn't realise Weir's Way linked here until after I'd linked it. I think the show itself warrants an article, what with it having run for so long (and I don't think combining an article and a biog is a good idea). Chris Cunningham 14:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. But is there much information about the old show out there? I remember searching for it one time when it was on - to find out when a particular episode was made - I couldn't find many specific details Aldaden 23:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

- The DVD's out now, so it should have a complete listing. I dare say there must be someone out there who has a lot of information on the show, it ran for the better part of forever and it's a national treasure. Chris Cunningham 12:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Sadly though, the DVD is not his complete series - it's just some select programmes. The series was running around midnight on STV last year, but I think they've stopped showing it again. I think Tom Weir is one of the unsung heroes of Scotland, and his work should be much more widely appreciated - both as a historical account, from people who have now passed away, showing the beginnings of what we would now call the 'heritgage' and 'environmental' movements, and also as a testament to the nature and geography of Scotland, which I (and Tom, I guess) truly believe is the most beautiful country in the world. It was so sad when Tom passed away earlier this year.
[edit] Kilmaronock/Kilmarnock
There are parishes in Scotland by both names. All sources list Kilmaronock, not Kilmarnock, and this map shows Kilmaronock as near Drymen. So I believe we should list Kilmaronock until there is evidence (something more than a editor insisting) that it should change. --Siobhan Hansa 13:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
