bonnie that 1 have simply put ff writing until perhap there might be a rainy day but it appears now that this day u not coming for the tun continue to thine on the moors to full of heather ai it has done ap parently all turomer yea for scut land thii has been the finest summer in the history of many who wear the kilt still i feel that 1 would like to share with you for r utile while vome uf the wonderful atmosphere and sce nery that 1 have been enjoying or the past few weeks you must remember that 1 have been away from scotland for 27 years and perhaps on this return vuit my mind wu full of childhood memories bo it would have been very easy for me to be disappointed hut this was not the case i- or every moor and lake was cvrn more beautiful than i had imagined hut while a person could talk for pages snd pane about the scenic ipols of the highlands what has impressed me mure are the basic values snd peace of mind thst the homes of the people poeaeaa and what i feel adds to their character is that they themselves do not reatue what thry have in this quiet way of living i could perhaps enlarge on this by telling you a bit about the town of ai ford the north of scotland is full of many tmall towns and this town is just an example the population is around 800 people and it is situated in a vale backed by the heathered slopes of uenachie it is an agrlcul tural community and like the fishing villages these people have fallen heir to the htritatfe of their forefathers the homes were lived in by the pat enu and krandparents the funriish ings of carved clocks and unglingcry stal all speak of the past and truly they arc cherished by the present so as you will expect a brother and a sister live only a few doors apart while all of the town la related to the spirit of contentment there u no rush that necessitates driving over anyone and a halfpenny is yours re- oriental and domestic rug cleaning repairing and weaving mothproofing alterations spot tinting sizing of

gartuess oi jh much totne one else may need iftn honesty and aincfer- ity oi these popt is unbelievable you may laugh hereand say that 1 tpeak this way for 1 ilai scot but that u not so 1 i was really amused myself when 1 told them of bank rubbdrics in cans da at the conclusion w a thriller ose lass spoke up and said but why would they want to rob a bank the money dees not belong to them somehow 1 cannot help but think that if tourists coming to scotland would spend less time in taking pictures and simply associate with the people that they would take back something that is mure permanent than a snap shot i do not claim to be a politician pjt if we could sort of transport some of this sincerity to canada uocl the united stales voutd our increase of ulcers and unheppineu continue at the present rate uut more ol this when i come home let me strongly recommend to all of you who may be taking a trip ab road to come over by ship 1 would even go farther than this nd sujigefcl that you travel tourist class i dont aay this to rob any steamship company of extra profit but there is a certain freedom and association amongst hr tourist that la missing in the first class traveller in fact many of those who were on the hinprru of scotland travelling first class came down to the tourut nectioo of the ship for ihcy too felt that the upper section of the khip was just a bit stiff and r member regardless of how tired you might be from your voyage to be sure and be on deck when the uatcrs of the clyde itiver appear there could be a very few water cruia es that could competed with sailing up the clyde hxcellcnt apart from the days that 1 have spent b hooting grouse and fishing sal mon which by the way 1 caught one of the highlights so far has been the highland garaea the only thing that 1 could compare thesx games to would be a field day at tome high school or s university track meet but these arc not very good examples for there is fsr more colour with the many large bands of pipers and the highland dancing 1 attended the aboyne games which are famous for the games part of the program and also lira e mar which is internationally known for these games are atunded by the lloyal family the events at aboyne that i taluk that you would be interested in for we do no have them in canada are the following piping competitions for single pipers and mass band highland dancing such as the fling sword dance reels and sailor a hornpipe for lads and lasses throwing the hammer 18 lbs and 22 lbs cumberland wrest ling and last but by far the most ex citing the tossing of the caber caber tossing started with the woodsmen of scotland a caber is a very large piece of wood like our hydro poles 17 feet in length and weighing 1 14 lbs apparently the caber at one time waa much larger but due to the fact that so few were able to toss it in recent years it has been reduced in sue and believe me when i say that it is still plenty large enough tor i lifted it myself the art of this sport is to balance the caber straight in the air and then to turn it in one complete circle aa perfectly as you are able to do it is difficult to describe but if you can imagine taking this pole in your handa so that the butt is about to your chest the top is now far above you and then running with it so that you can gain momentum for the toss you have the idea now at the peak of this run you let the top of the caber fall forward then by lifting with all the scotch porridge that you can muster at the base you throw the butt into the air hut the tricky part la to time the toss so thst the top of the caber will stick in the ground and the butt will fall straight over on a very small scale it is like taking a pencil using the rubbered end as the butt ilick the point in the ground and then let the rubbered end fall away from you i only saw two men out of the many who tried toss the caber naturally is was a great thrill to share in the emotion of the crowd at bracmarc when the queen arrived her coming marked the one hundredth anniversary of royalty attending the games quern victoria in 1855 was also present on these same i rounds it was wonderful to sec prime charles and princess anne who were at broe- mar for the firu time this year so curious and full of questions about the different events and the exit of the royal party through a double lino of literally a thousand pipers piping scotland the uravo was a very dramatic mument to you all i kend a bit of scottish mist and a wee bit of white heather ian emslie enroll any time night school
