One month's tramping h 1111 been done since we left Glasgow where ·llY last letter left ofl'. It is tiresome worJ. this unceasing sig ht-seeing. Every day gives more than would make an interesting letter if one h ad the genius plus muscle and cour· age to write its record, but thou~h the spirit is willing the fles h is too often ex· haueted. "The Baron " says it is useless to write about J!:dinbuq~h for everyone describes that but we had the good for. tune to visit it while the General .Aesembly of the Church of Scotland and the Free Church were in session and it would be unpardonable to onut mention of the courtesy shown us there. We were intro· ductid to the Moderator's Breakfast. This gave us an opportunity of meeting the celebrities of both churches and made our attendance at the various sessions mo1·0 pleasant. The "Kirk" session is opened every morning with much parade. The Lord High Commissioner, who occupies Holyrood Palace during the sitting of Assembly, comes to the Hall every morninl!: attended by a mounted body ~uard. A deputation awaits his coming and the Mace is borne with great pomp befora him until he takes his place on the throne. At·the }, ree Church Hall there is much less display, but a larger attendance. The Moderator of the :Froe Church wears court dreas under the fiction that it is still part of the Church of Sco~land and that Her Majesty me.y enter at any time. We were struck with the fact that the members are older men than those in our Canadian Church, I presume ibis in conseq uence of this that more of them are. bald, at any rate on actual count I as· certained that 71 per cent have worn out their head covering. A 2entleman questioned on this point said "It is a sort of professional mark set on them by nature." Both churches are turbulent over SU'" gested modifications-the Confession 7>£ F11oith. Some of the c.lder men deeply concerned feariag a split in the Church. The Scottish Church Ji ke the Canadian Church is eviden~ly moving towards a different exprt'ssion of its faith_ Of course.we roamed through the Caa· tie, inspected the Royal Regalia, visited Holyrood Palace and looked for the spot of blood where Rizzio was murdiired. We se>ent .two happy hours in the house oc· C;upied by J ohn Knox, visited St. Giles' Church where Jennie Geddes threw the historic stool. In the Museum of An· tiquities we saw the stool, a little leather covered camp stool with the seat nearly torn in two. There may be seen also the old oak pulpit from which Knox moved Scotland. We climbed Calton Hill- the first place the visitor to Edinburgh should go to, for from top of Nelson's Monument one gains ttle best bird's eye view of this magnificent city of seven hills. Edin· bui:~h is a magnificent and beautiful city - the finest in Britain. We visibed "Abbotsford, the residence of Sir Walter Scott, and Dryburgh Abbey where he is buried. Melrose Abbey also whera Scottso often went ·to such inspiration and where Bruce's heart is interred. The three may be seen in one day and should on no acc o ul!!_b~Q!llit_t~!>.y the tourist. It is better not to engage a carriaoe (all carriages are called "'machines" h~re) in the shtion yard for th ey may be obtained much cheaper _ outside. The trip to Ayr is inexpensive and intensely interestiog to all who admire Burn' s poems. The "'ram O'Shanter 's Inn" a ud t he "Twa Brigs O'Ayr " are pointed out. Two miles from the town stands the Old Alloway Kirk where Tam '""saw t he deil playing the bagpipes. . A ehor~ dist1mce beyond is the old brig O'Doune where Tam's mare suffered. Tam, whose name was Thomas Graham is buried in t he Alloway graveyard ; so is B urne' father. The Burns' monument is close by where relics of the pqet are kept and whe1e we saw the origina,l statues of Tam O'ehanter and Souter Johnnie. The pomt however that gratified us most was th e little old J10use w11ere Burns was b orn. We pulled a few straws of t hatch from its dAeply covered roof to keep as mement oes. M. P. T .
