Edinburgh, Scotland' -- In writing about our visit to the land of the Scots I'm dorry 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 home of his ancestors. | am sure it must be because it is u 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 near- We went first to Glasgow by train 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, at a ceremony presided over by the Lord Mayor, we planted three Cana- dian maple trées in a spot near thie 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 been so hospitably received herve, They will 'alse remind the good people of Workington of the affectionate re- gard of Canadians for the Mother country. i PE Before leaving for Scotland we toured the beautiful Lake district and visited the home of William Words- worth, the poet. Shades of school days. = In Glasgow - we stayed al the first 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 buildings such as we have in Canada. We went down to - Kilmarnock to visit the big implement factory there. 'I'his --was especially "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. we motored to Ayr and to Ye Alloway, 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 Burns in his poetry. The city of Ayr is a fair size and has many old but substantial buildings fronting on its narrow, crooked streets. In 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 CANADIAN PLOWMEN "ABROAD by V. C.

We visited Hollyroodhouse. It was form- erly an abbey and then became the palace of the Kings and queens of Scotland and was occupied tor a time by the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots. Later we visited Edinburg Castle which is located on a high point over looking the city. It contains many historic relies 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 Lhe first cen- tury of the Christian era. "In the castle we saw a dungeon which was suid to have been built by the Romans and whose existence re- wained unknown for centuries, It] wus discovered in 1812, IVs certain- ly a grim place. 2 Another historic place visited was St. Giles Cathedral, one of the finest churches in the British Isles, It is a huge edifice but has _only modest equipment in the way of pews and seating accommodation, We were told that many of the nobility Worship there. Yesterday we went down Lo Perth to attend the Aberdeen Angus "sales. These are run much the same as our big sales but 1 noticed 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 600 head to be sold in two days and while we were there they were selling at the rate of about 40 head an hour.
