While Anne and Brian were with us we went down to the harbor and watched the surfers enjoying these beautiful waves. There were a few 6 to 8 feet high, I'm sure. I will miss the ocean when we leave. I can be at this spot in 15 minutes of walking or 3 minutes by car.

This is the St. Peter's Parish church in Peterculter, Aberdeen, Scotland where my ancestors attended church from 1750 to 1850. There are a number of them buried in this churchyard. It is no longer used as a church but has been made into a heritage center and houses much information about the paper mill that my 6th G.Grandfather Bartholomew Smith started in 1750 and which ran until 1982 and provided a living for many of the residents of the area.

This is just one pretty scene as we travel about Scotland. So many I can't get as we are whizzing by. I convinced Elder Watson to stop and let me get this one. It was still summer and I think we were coming back from our trip to the temple.

These are the graves of my Smith ancestors who started the papermill in Peterculter, Aberdeen, Scotland.

Elder Watson is standing beneath the statue of Rob Roy in the Heritage museum in Peterculter. Rob Roy is lauded in this town because he leaped over a wide gully with a stream while being pursued. Usually his statue is situated above the place of the leap. This one is an old one, refurbished.

This is Naz Ali Mohammed, our neighbor whom we helped move. I wrote about him in the email before Bob's last one. We have become good friends.

This is a picture of us with Anne and Brian Webster. I spoke of their visit with us over Thanksgiving.
