To be fair, I think he's earned it. You'd have thought that a proper "adopted Scot" would receive a reasonable welcome.

Reasonable price for a nice-looking place though.

ps....I suppose that since he can sign himself "Cross of Midmar" (per the details) that this may well be a worthy Scots equivalent to "Angry of Tunbridge Wells" ;-)

He obviously still has an eye for a bargain. The property originally went on the market at 5m. Cross got it for a measly 3.2m. Pocket change to some.

I'm sure he'll be made welcome in the locality.

"Cross of Midmar"

Nice one! :-)

I think "Thane of Tano" might be a more appropriate title albeit one with an element of schadenfreude....

Ah but that could get you into deep water with the newly installed Baron.

How about TOM the BOM?
