Trip To Scotland
Mrs, A. H, Barnett returned
home from a four weeks trip
to Scotland and England on
November 5, She arrived at
Montreal harbour and was met
by her son Dougia,s who had
motored from, Renfrew. The
Corinthia had a very rough
crossing, this traveller told us
the ship fought gales and
storms all the ' way across the
North Atlantic. Therefore it
was a grand feeling to finally
reach the calm waters of the
St. Lawrence River.
While in Scotland, Mrs. Bar-
nett said she rented a small
Anglia and toured the country
with her son Ronald who now
attends St. Andrew's Univer-
sity. This is a typical univer-
sity town. It is also noted for
golf tournaments as this game
is said to have originated in
St. Andrew's, decades ago.
They visited Inverness, Dun-
dee, end Braemar where the
famous Highland Games take
place. They were also at. Perth,
saw historic Sterling Castle as
well as Balmoral where Her
Majesty the Queen was in resi-
dence. They saw the famed
Loch Ness with its aquatic
monster, and other scenic lakes.
When Mrs. Barnett visited
Edinburgh, the city was aglow
with decorations for the visit
of King Olaf of Norway. The
main arteries of the capital
were shimmering with lights
to greet the visiting monarch.
The Scottish countryside was a
lovely picture with its green
expanses of hilly land. Even
in mid-October roses. were
blooming,
Far a weekend in London,
England, Mrs. Barnett and her
so travelled by the "Flying.
Scotman", They have count-
less memories of their visit
and have numerous pictures
and slides to show the folks
at home. November 5 being
this fortunate lady's birthday,
her son Douglas had a surprise
party all arranged at his home
in Renfrew. When she arrived
home WO Barnett had another
birthday party for her. What
a grand homecoming!
