We took the train 2.5 hours down to Edinburgh to see some different sites while the young ones have break. Here is St. Giles’ Cathedral – from the website – “St Giles’ Cathedral, founded in 1124 by King David I, has been a working church for almost 900 years. A backdrop to Scotland’s turbulent religious history, it has seen the seeds of civil war sown and been John Knox’s parish church during the Reformation. It is still an important centre for civic services such as the Kirking of the Parliament and services for Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.”

Visited the Hazlehead Park Pets Corner
Slight change of plans this week – while the girls are on holiday. We visited a lovely park a couple miles up the road.

Rubislaw Quarry
Aberdeen is known as the Granite City. Our house had granite quarried from this large quarry (now a pond) a few blocks away.

Inspiration
Our current house, built in 1887 has stained glass windows that evoke the “inspiration” memes that were memes before memes were memes. It says “faith is the subtle chain that binds us to the infinite.”
