This is the old historical church in Canisby, near the Castle of Mey where the queen mother lived while in Scotland and attended church. Our choir sang for Prince Charles in August in this church.

This is the front of the Rosyln Chapel, made famous by the book "The Devinci Code" It is about 20 minutes outside Edinburgh. Right now it is undergoing huge restoration. It is an amazing building. The stone work inside (which we were forbidden to photograph), is very intricate and beautiful. I have never seen anything quite like it. It is still shrouded in mystery and beliefs by many that there are secrets hidden within and under it.

This is Bob standing accross the river from the tallest tree in Britain. Guess what it is. A Douglas Fir.

We stopped at the Hermitage, outside of Pitlochry, on our way home from Paisley. It is a beautiful forest hike. This is the upper part of a water fall there.

I thought you would get a chuckle out of this. It is a picture of the traditional Scottish breakfast, consisting of eggs, baked beans, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and roasted tomato. Porridge can be added too if you are extra hungry. They abhor sweet with savory and find our syrupy pancakes awful.

This fellow was mascarading as William Wallace, Brave Heart, to raise money for children with leukemia. He says he has raised 3 million by doing this and going around the country to schools etc. His motto is the truely Brave Hearts are these kids. I also saw on the same street in Edinburgh a mime whose costume was a dapper man in tuxedo, but his head was only a hat and a pair of glasses. The whole thing looked like his head was invisible. As I passed and his glasses wobbled, he raised his hand and waved at me. I was startled because I thought it was a maniquin.

This is a famous street in Edinburgh, the "Royal Mile". It runs from the top at the Castle to the bottom at the Holyrood Palace, the residence of the Royal family when in Edinburgh. Holyrood is also the place where Mary Queen of Scots lived. The buildings are all very old and charming.

On the Edinburgh Castle grounds I ran into Sister Griffiths our mission MOM and Sister Bednar (in the middle). Sister Carr, the wife to the Area authority visiting insisted on taking our picture. This is an unusually warm sunny day.

This is Tabitha holding one of Anne Duncan's puppies. Anne breeds and trains gundogs. This is a little black Lab. There were 12 in this litter. Tabitha loves dogs.

We took the youth on a hike around the "stacks" at Duncansby Head to learn about the wild sea birds. Jamie and Tabitha Loughlin are in the foreground.

The Heather is in bloom again so Tabitha took this picture of me on our way out to Tongue to visit Anne Duncan.

We are having a weenie roast for the youth activity. It was a first for this group. They especially liked the Smores.
