'Travelling by train from Edin- burgh to Perth we met a man who had lived in Cobalt in the- early days-so held a "do you remember" séssion, much to the delight of several kilted Scotehmen who were in' the same compartment. Arriv- ing at Perth we were met by Mrs. Lloyd, a sister of Mrs. Williams of Heaslip, who took us on to her home in Scone. Her home, by the is a beautiful stone cottage over a hundred years old, which has been modernized inside but still retains the attractiveness of the old building. 'After lunch Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd took us on a tour of the Highlands and I found out why I've always loved stories and pictures of Scot- land. Among the places we visited were the Grampian Hills, Lun- carty, the salmon ladders near Pitlochry, the new hydro dam at Loch Faskally, then on to the pass of Killiecrankie. My mother had a picture of this Pass hanging on her parlor wall for years and it gave Fund Raising. For Northern U. | 'A meeting of the Temiskaming Presbytery of the United Church was held in Haileybury on Septem- ber 22 and 23. 'At a meeting Tuesday evening an open discussion was held at seven o'clock on the proposed Hunting- ton, United Church College as part of, the proposed University of Northern Ontario, and ways and means of raising funds for this project. At eight p.m., the worshop ser- viee was held to hear Rev. J. A. Cj Kell, president of the Toronto Cgnference, and following it, an opportunity was given those pre- sght to meet both Rev. and Mrs. Kéll. i Across the Kitchen Table q By MRS, MAC me a thrill to be able to take a picture of it, which has produced a beautiful slide. Then we went on to the' Queen's View, which was named in honor of Queen Victoria. Here we were taking pictures, when what I believed was an old shepherd, at least seventy-five or eighty years old, came up the hill. As I had been hoping to meet one of these old timers, I immediately turned on what charm I possess- ed and asked him if he'd mind if I took his picture. He didn't mind at all, and wanted to know where I came from and what my name was. When I told him, he said the MacDonalds were old enemies of his but that, of course, was three hunderd years ago, and was all forgotten. When we got home, Mrs. Lloyd's son, David, told me that my old shepherd was only thirty- five years old, and wore his lofig beard to impress the tourists he guided around the Highlands. So much for glamour! We passed Loch Tummell and picked up a huge box of heather on Rannioch Moore before com- ing home. The next morning we went to an old _. Presbyterian Church, where we were handed a "Psalm buik"? and escorted into a pew with a door on it. Afiter lunch the Lloyds again took us sightseeing, this time along the Meiklehour beech hedge, which was planted in 1746 and is now over eighty-five feet high and 580 feet long. It is trimmed every four years and is most~ impressive. Then on to Kirriemuir where we saw the little cottage where Sir J. M. Barrie was born and wrote "The Window in Thrums", also another little white cottage which was built in 1777. On the way home we went into an old, old cemetery which contained the ivy-covered ruins of an old stone church. In- cidentally, we visited a number of other old cemeteries in both Scot- land and England and were im- pressed by the number of young people whose deaths were record- ed on the tombstones. The final place of interest with Glamis Cas- tle where the Queen Mother was born. Then, reluctantly, we said good- by to the Lloyds and went back to Edinburgh.
