'PLOW M about our visit to the land of the Scots I'm sorry 1 can't report that Herb Jarvis or Hugh Leslie discovered | the hiding place of the Stone of Scone. But 1 think we did discover why the Scotsman living abroad never forgets the-hiome of hjs ancestors: am sure it must be because it is a land of so much history and tradition, Perhaps this sounds like a sweeping statement - for our first letter from Scotland, but we have been here. néar- ly a week now. We went first to Glasgow by trait from Workington, England, where we had been guests of honour at the Workington and Dis- trict Agricultural Society © banquet, This annual event had been held over on our account which was a great compliment, We were also guests of the Work- ington Rotary Club for lunch. Later, ut a ceremony presided over by the Lord Mayor, we planted three 'Canu- dian maple trees in a spot near the war memorial, It seems to me that in the years to come these trees will serve as a stand- ing vote of thanks from the many teams of Canadian plowmen who have been so hospitably received herve. They will also remind the good people "of Workington of the affectionate re- gard of Canadjang for the Mother country, Before leaving, for Scotland we 'toured the beautiful Lake district and visited the home of William Words- worth, the poet, Shades of school days. hotel outside of London that had enough heat to satisfy us, although some had meter electric heaters which supply about two hours' heat for a shilling. But for one whose blood has thinned out a little these meter-heat- ers are not only inconvenient but darn costly, Certainly the people over here are not used to heated builldings such as we have in Canada. We went down to Kilmarnock to visit the big implement factory there. interesting for Herb Jarvis, the champion horse plow- man because he works in an imple- ment plant in Toronto. After a tour of the plant we had lunch at the fam. ous sea résort of Troon. Irom there we motored to Ayr and to nearby the birthplace of Robert Burns, We inspected the thatched roof cottage where the Plowman-poet had lived and the museum alongside. Then we saw the Brigo'doon de- scribed by Burng in irs poetry. The. city of Ayr is a fair size and has many old but substantial buildings fronting on its narrow, crooked streets. ln its shops I noticed that men's clothes are more reasonably priced than at home but other articles are about the same. It was an interesting motor trip ABROAD Edinburgh, Scotland -- In writing - In Glasgow we ved al the first), PORTEQUS * Director ONTARIO. EN'S ASSOCIATION from Ayr to Edinburgh and we passed through ~ some fine farming country. It was rather spotty, however, with many stretches of land fit only for grazing. 1 think this is because the rock formations here are close to the curth's surface and there are many outcroppings. Seeing Edinburgh was like review- ing Scottish and English history. We visited Hollyroodhouse. It was form: "erly an abbey and then -beeame the palace of the Kings and queens of Scotland and was occupied tor a time by the dl-fated Mary, Queen ol Scots. Later we visited. Edinburg Castle which is located on aw high point over looking the city. It contains many historic relics and we were quite taken with the ancient and modern arms and armour on display in the great hall. Some date back to the days of the Roman occupation in the first eens tury of the Christian era. "In the castle we saw a dungeon which was said to have been built by the Romans and whose existence re- waned unknown for centuries. IL was discovered in 1812. IUs certain- ly a grim place. © Another historic place visited was St Giles Cathedral, one of the linegst churches in the British Isles. It is a huge edifice bul has only modest equipment in the way of pews and seating accommodation. We were tdld that many of the nobility worship there, Yesterday we went down to Perth to attend the Aberdeen Angus sales. These are ran much the same as our big sales but 1 netiéed that they did not require the purchaser to sign a slip to certify the sale, as they do at home, The quality-of the-cattle was a high order but it seemed to me that the herds are not as fully accredited as they are in Canada... There were about 60U head to be sold in two days and while we were there they were selling at the rate of about 40 head an hour. We've also visited the Loch Lo- mond country and "we've taken the high-road-and-the-low-road" but-still feel we haven't seen enough of Scot- land. The reason is that we have to stick to our itinerary and now must leave for the big North-of-Ireland-in- ternational plowing match uear Bel- fast.
