Wild birds frequent some of the islands and sea gulls : lay plentiful eggs-on the grassy mounds. Our stops included, Dalmally, Taynuilt, the Pass of Brander; Connell: - Ferry: and 'then to Oban. Had there been time we would have ferried across to | Iona. and had 'a look at the Iona Cathedral, St. Columba came there with a flaming Gospel to convert the wild and pagan people of Scotland. Rev. _G, MacLeod, D.D. who now is Lord MacLeod had done 'a' magnificent work of Restoration 'in the + Abbey. Contacts with some of our former friends in Oban from our Calgary associations as well as our hometown made that afternoon brisk with some humourous recall. An encouraging feature was the discovery that one of the business magnates of the town was at one time tremendously influenced by my Dad and is now an elder of the church there; We backtracked to Taychreggan. In perfect quiet- ness with not even a motor car to break the tranquility, Loch Awe took on a hypnotic spell. How strange that songwriters like Loch Lomand~has done. Can you imagine that a genius like Robbie Burns should have overlooked such tremendous material: for sonnets & stories? One day if the. mood overwhelms me, some poetic sparks set to music might just jump from my pen, On our return passing where Dad was born at --._Dalronach, sentiment ran at full tide, The sun was sliding down in the western sky as we made for In- veraray-again and-then to Dunoon. It was indeed the | 'end of -a perfect day'. i The lingering twilight was with us as we rounded the head of Loch Fyne and then by way of Loch Eck. Like a "city at sea we passed the Polaris ship the missile headquarters of the American Navy stationed in the _ HolyLoch. Dunoon soft with evening air was our final ~halt for the night. Next moring it was time to travel to Prestwick for our flight home to Canada. As we crossed the river looking wistfully at the _receding shoreline a flame of gratitude swept over us - that we had been blessed with one of the greatest vacations we have ever shared. The" highlight of our return was the comfort of first class places in the plane. For some reason we did not know we were to be treated with all the finesse of royal visitors. Our positions as near the cockpit as we could - possible be without sharing the pilot's seat was by courtesy of B.0.A:C. What more could anybody want with Scottish blood than to finish a holiday travelling in first class style at economy rate, By the miracle of modern flight we arrived ahead of schedule at Malton. "And our welcome by-our good friend Mr. David Siricliar "made us feel warm 'within. } _On arrival at the manse housed by my wife' S cousin 3 and her friend in our absence, the red carpet treatment met us even to the sidewalk, What a gift is this to have friends at both ends of a trip that make friendship God's most valuable (treasure. Someone once said - 'God gave us memories that we might have roses in December" . . We gladly extend this to January and even into February.

All of the above is analysed and considered in order to be able to project and plan the direction which the Village' will follow in the future. One important aspect of ~---uny planning is the both long and short term population growth. This is determined by the inter-relation of many things . which include the provision of services, rate of . increase in employment, possible migration: of rural farm population to industrial --areas, and the birth and "death rates. Port Perry's population has increased by ~a small: percentage every year [or the last ten except in 1962 when it dropped one-half percent. Based on this knowledge, the Plan increased population, by 1991 could be ' almost 7,000 people. Existing and future land ~ use is also a very important aspect of the Official Plan. In 1970, 59 percent of the ~«eveloped land in Port Perry was residential, and nearly "20 percent was developed «und undeveloped com- mercial: land. Only 1.1 : percent was industrial. This land lack of industrial reflects the economic base of the Village which is made up of 'commercial - sector ser- ving the . . extensive surrounding rural com- munity.

The total acreage of Port Perry is 700, Besides: the residential and commercial, institutional, public open space and public use account for 10,19, and 0.9 percent of the (otal land gespectively. Taking intd. consideration these important factors: projected population, commercial and industrial growth, the Plan indicates that further residential growth will take place, and thére will be a correspond: ing increase in commercial development along major roads. There will be some industrial growth as well, The prime purpose of the Plan is to determine the "most suitable locations and extent of these three growth areas. Since Port Perry is also a ; recreational centre, the Plan is also to designate what is known as major open space for parks and recreational Tacilities. It will also consider such things as apartments; town housing, and subdivision construction, "and recom- mend that zoning by-laws be changed to "suit the framework of the plan. The expansion of Port Perry is inevitable, The purpose of the Plan is prepared for this expansion.
