Early in my post school years, I spent a year at Aberdeen University, the coldest place on the planet (outside Siberia). I got interested in Shinty (or Camanachd in Gaelic), never having played it. The Aberdeen University Shinty Club is the oldest Shinty Club, dating back to 1861. I played hockey at school, but nothing I learned there was much use in Shinty. My limited golf swing was more helpful. I spent a very drunken weekend with the team as they went to Newtonmore to play and bar hop back to Aberdeen.
