Building the Scoot

The idea for the scoot began two years ago when Hamish's brother-in-law, Robin Minchin sketched out a few ideas:

The name for the scoot came from a road grader, who eyed it up and asked Hamish, "whatcha building a scoot for?" (I believe scoots are normally used in the New Hampshire woods for hauling around timber).
