Mike McLellan's Postcards: Scotland

WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

MacLellan's Castle

KIRKCUDBRIGHT

Kirkcudbright Scotland is the ancestral home of the MacLellans. We actually spell our name this way, but that is another story. This is the MacLellan Castle. It is not in the best condition.

Church of Scotland, Kirkcudbright

KIRKCUDBRIGHT

I got an offer from the pastor of this church to exchange pulpits/houses with him for six months. The church has 1200 members and a total attendance at three services on Sunday of 150. The church is a Church of Scotland congregation.

The Toilet Attendant

So what do you do for a living?

An attractive young woman we met was the toilet attendant in Grantown-on-Spey, Scotland.
She sat all day in front of the public restrooms and took 25 pence from each patron in exchange for a whole day pass to go in. As I only used it once, I have kept the ticket,
All day long she sat there, reading a novel and watching the people go in and out.
