!!! BEING AN OCCASIONAL SURFER ON THE INTERNET, I WAS DELIGHTED TO NO END UPON STUMBLING UPON THE POSTED PICTURE'S I DISCOVERED WHILE SURFING GOOGLE EARTH. I LEAPT IN AMAZEMENT TO SEE SIGHT'S OF PLACES THAT I VISITED ON MY TRIP TO SCOTLAND IN JUNE OF 1992. I WAS SO THRILLED TO SEE THE PUB, FERRY, AND THE VILLAGE OF UIG THAT I ENJOYED SO MUCH ON MY 2 DAY STAY. (AT THE FERRY INN, NO LESS) I WOULD SO VERY MUCH SETTLE IN UIG IF I HAD THE MEANS TOO. IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY VACATION WHEN I VISITED SCOTLAND. MY TREK THERE HAD A SPECIAL PURPOSE, AS IT WAS TO PAY HOMAGE AT FLORA MACDONALDS GRAVE IN KILMUIR. YOU SEE, I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN IN NORTH CAROLINA (USA) CALLED RED SPRINGS. THERE IS AN INSTITUTION HERE APTLY NAMED 'FLORA MACDONALD ACADEMY' THAT IS HOME TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL. THE BUIDING WAS BUILT IN THE 1890'S AS A WOMEN'S COLLEGE AND HAS A QUITE SIGNIFICANT HISTORY. DISCRIPTION OF THE DETAIL'S WOULD BE VERY LEANGTHY BUT A LITTLE HIGHLIGHT IS THE FACT THAT FLORA'S TWO YOUNG SON'S ARE BURIED ON THE GROUND'S IN THE LUSH GARDEN'S, AND HER ORIGINAL HEADSTONE GRACE'S THEIR GRAVE. HER PORTRAIT GRACE'S A FORMAL PARLOR IN THE LAVISHLY RESTORED ROTUNDA, AND NUMEROUS OTHER ITEMS ARE DISPLAYED TO HONOR HER LEGACY. note* floramacdonald.org (SCHOOL WEBSITE) I WOULD GO ON, BUT I AM HUURYING BACK THE THE PIC'S TO REMINISCE, AND WOULD WELCOME ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE TOWNFOLK OF UIG AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. BY THE WAY, IF ANYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH A GENTLEMAN NAMED JOHN MURRAY FROM TOTESCORE, PLEASE FORWARD MY GREETING'S. HE WAS MOST GRACEOUS UPON OUR MEETING ON THE ROAD TO KILMUIR FROM UIG TO TAKE THE TIME TO SHOW ME AROUNG THE AREA. AT THE TIME, HE WAS AN ATTORNY IN PORTREE. THANK'S FOR THE RENEWED MEMORIE'S.
