Fare to Aberdeen Two Pounds, Six Shillings. In Scotland the grass is green but shorter than in Ireland, and they seem to have had trouble with harvest- ing on account of the weather. Many sheep between here and Glasgow. They have black faces. In Ireland they are most- ly Leicesters. Had an interesting travelling companion, young with a fringe of beard. Train is divided into compartments. Hailed a taxi driver, asked her to find me a hotel, which she did. Do not know the name of it or where it is yet. Fine rain persists and I am glad to get accommodation. Had coffee, then looked up train schedule for Elgin, where Giles is attending school. October 8, 1966, Aberdeen, Scotland. Went to see the "Sound of Music" last evening. Still en- chanting. Had advance ticket. Saw it in San Francisco last time. Going by bus to Balmoral to- day on chance I may see Sam Childs. He is still there. He obtained permission for me to see part of the Castle.

Mrs. Glenn John- ston demonstrated and discuss- ed the proper folding of a ta- blecloth, setting a table, serv- ing and manners, Also discuss- ed were plans for an exhibit for Achievement Day, the topic of which will be salads. Achieve- ment Day will be held in the Howick Central School on Nov. 26. Mrs. C. Sparling and Wan- da Sparling demonstrated a Hutnpty Dumpty Salad and the girls prepared and served the supper. Queen in residence, and Mr. Childs on duty. We had about an hour's visit and he gave me his phone number at Bucking- ham Palace, and made a date to call him when I get to Lon- don. Will be going to Elgin to- morrow. Will probably stay overnight as it takes several hours by train from here. Had my first glimpse of the High- lands today. Where there are crops, they are much the heaviest that I have seen in all the countries I have been to. Much of it has been lost on account of the wet weather; poor harvesting condi- tions. A large acreage for tur- nips (peeps), The fields around Aberdeen are mostly surrounded by stone fences or walls with a• neat appearance. The houses are built of granite not white, but grey. I like them. I would rather farm in Huron County now that the stones are all pick- ed. Had dinner in the hotel. Po- tatoes, peas, chicken nicely - cooked, peaches with whipped cream and coffee, Very good. The room is thirty shillings, three pounds for two people. The train for Elgin, a fast die- sel, leaves at 7.50 a.m. Will return on Monday; no trains on Sunday. On the way this morning the bus was stopped for a bit. They deliver mail and parcels. I was looking at some hens in a yard. I asked myself are those Buff Orpingtons? They looked like the kind John Johns brought mother from Wales. The lady across the aisle asked me if that was what they were, I said "They may be Rhode Island Reds." Imagine being asked a question like that on another continent. Arrived in Elgin in good time; 9.40 a.m. Found a guest house and had late breakfast -- bacon and egg, tea, toast and jam. I feel better. Made en- quiry re school. It is two miles from Elgin. Went out and Giles has permission to have an out- ing with me and seemed to welcome a change from the school routine, He has to work tomorrow. Some important exam coming up. He is a very nice lad, and good looking.We have a date for next summer, possibly a visit to Expo. This is a historic area. Ruins of a cathedral built '742 years ago. Still very impressive with churchyard and gravestones. October 9, 1966, Elgin, Scotland. Went for a walk about the town. I like it with its quaint stone houses, wide chimneys, with several on each house. Nearly all properties have wall in front or around them some ten to twelve feet high, others lower and maybe a clipped hedge. Yards are green and well kept. Flowers are past their best, There is an impos- ing monument north of town erected by public subscription to the memory of the last Earl of Gordon. October 10, 1966, Elgin, Scotland. Will take off this morning for Aberdeen. Arrived and made enquiries re transporta- tion to Orkneys. Boat leaves tomorrow at 4 p.m. Went back to hotel, no accommodation. Tried two others. All filled up, so have decided to pass up trip to Orkneys and proceed to Edinburgh instead. A bit late in the year to go further north. Train for Edinburgh, called the Flying Scotchman, leaves at 4 p.m. via Stonehaven, Mont- rose, Arbroath, Tay Bridge. These are the stops on the way. Arrived in Edinburgh at 6.45 p.m. Taxi took me to a guest house. Good accommo- dation. This is an old city, that is only now beginning to re- place older buildings. There was not much war damage here. Old buildings are distinctive, with decorative railings, chim- neys, etc. Edinburgh has a number of large parks near cen- tre of city with lovely green grass, large old trees and paths. Streets are wide and merge in- to one another, so that it is dif• ficult to get one's bearings when not familiar with them.
