Eugenij Kumičić.
Rodio se je 11. siečnja god. 1850. u gradiću Berseću na istarskoj iztočnoj obali. Normalku je učio u rodnom mjestu, a gimnazijske nauke na Rieci i na talijanskih gimnazijah u Zadru i Kopru. Izpit zrelosti položio je na Rieci. Prvu sveučilištnu godinu bio je u Pragu, a zatim dvie godine u Beču. Učio je poviest, zemljopis i filozofiju. God. 1874. pozva ga u Spljet pokojni Bakotić, gimnazijski ravnatelj, koji je bio Kumičiću učitelj u riečkoj gimnaziji. Pokojni Bakotić, spisatelj prekrasne pripoviesti »Raja«, veoma je ljubio svoga bivšega učenika Kumičića. Nastavni jezik na spljetskoj gimnaziji bio je tada talijanski, pa je Kumičić morao podučavati tim jezikom logiku i psihologiju i hrvatski jezik u viših razredih. Kumičić do svoje 12. godine nije ni razumio ni govorio talijanski. Taj je jezik naučio u školi. Znao je samo hrvatski kao i majka mu, Marija. Otac mu Tomo, pomorac i trgovac, nikada nije sa sinom govorio talijanski. Iz Spljeta, gdje je bio jednu godinu, pošao je Kumičić u Zagreb. Odsluživ kod pukovnije Leopoldove vojničku godinu, otišao je na dulje vremena u Pariz. Zatim. je dulje vremena boravio u Italiji, pa se povratio na bečko sveučilište, gdje je učio franceski i talijanski jezik i književnost kod . prof. Mussafije. U to ga pozvalo pod pušku - u Bosnu. Što je doživio u Bosni, opisao je u svojem djelu »Pod puškom« , Koncem god. 1879. dobio je mjesto u višoj realci u Zagrebu, gdje je predavao hrvatski i francezki jezik i povjest. God. 1884. napustio je svoje učiteljsko zvanje svojevoljno. Htio je da bude posve slobodan kao spisatelj i kao - izbornik. Kasnije ga je dva puta izabrao drugi varaždinski izborni kotar svojim zastupnikom na hrvatskom saboru. Jednu je godinu bio urednik »Hrvatske Vile« , a dvie godine i pol urednik dnevnika »Hrvatske.« Zašto je više puta sjedio na obtuženičkoj klupi, sve to ne spada amo. God. 1885. imenovan je gradjaninom grada Zagreba po slav. gradskom zastupstvu u Zagrebu. Kumičić se je vjenćao 20. rujna god. 1882. u Varaždinu sa Marijom Maršićevom. Ima dva sina: Tomicu i Juricu.
Prvo je svoje djelce napisao u Spljetu pod naslovom: "Spljet i Pariz". Dvie ga je godine prepisivao i popravljao, a napokon, po nagovoru svojih prijatelja, posla ga iz Beča slavnomu Šenoi, koji odgovori nepoznatom početniku u dopisnici uredničtva u »Viencu« od 7. travnja 1877 . Taj je odgovor osokolio Kumičića, pa je izdao svoje prvo djelo dvie godine zatim u političkom listu »Slobodi« , promieniv mu ime u "Slučaj". Kumičić je napisao svoja prva djela pod pseudonimom Jenio Sisolski. On se je rodio na obronku briega Sisol, a u rodnom ga mjestu zovu Jenio, što dolazi od talijanskoga Eugenio.
Kumičić je napisao, svršio, svoje pripoviesti, romane i drame ovim redom:
"Slučaj" u kolovozu 1879. (»Sloboda«).
"Olga i Lina" u siečnju 1881. (»Sloboda«).
"Jelkin Bosiljak" u rujnu 1881. (Posebno izdanje).
"Neobični Ljudi" u ožujku 1882. (»Vienac«) .•
"Primorci" u rujnu 1882. (»Hrvatska Vila« ).
"Začudjeni Svatovi" u veljači 1883. (»Vienac«).
"Gospodja Sabina" u ožujku 1884. („Matica Hrvatska«).
"Ubilo ga Vino" u travnju 1884. (»Naša Sloga«),
"Sirota" u travnju 1885. (»Matica Hrvatska«).
"Pod Puškom" u svibnju 1886. (»Balkan«).
"Preko Mora" u siečnju 1889. (»Dom i Sviet«).
"Teodora" u svibnju 1889. (»Matica Hrvatska«).
"Saveznice" u kolovozu 1889. (»Dom i Sviet»).
"Otrovana Srca" u veljači 1890. (»Dom i Sviet«).
"Sestre" (drama) u ožujku 1890. (Posebno izdanje).
"Mladost-Ludost" u siečnju 189l. (»Dom i Sviet«).
"Obiteljska Tajna" (komedija) u siečnju 1891. (»Matica Hrvatska«).
Osim ovih djela napisao je Kumičić i nekoliko crtica, kao što je "Crn Božić" u »Božićnici« .dnevnika Hrvatske« od god. 1890., pa crtica "Br. 84 i br. 85" u »Božićnici« rečenoga dnevnika od g. 1891. Napisao je mnogo članaka, ponajviše političkih, te preveo za »Hrvatsku« i »Hrvatsku Vilu« nekoliko omanjih crtica iz francezkoga, talijanskoga i španjolskoga. Osim pripoviesti "Primorci" sva su Kumičićeva djela pretiskana iz listova u posebne knjige. Domala izaći će tako "Primorci". Neka su mu djela izašla već u trećem izdanju. Pod naslovom "Tri Mučenice" izdao je god. 1889. u jednoj knjizi svoje tri pripoviesti: »Saveznice«, »Neobični Ljudi« i »Ubilo ga Vino«.
Na česki su jezik prevedena ova njegova djela: "Gospodja Sabina" (»Zlatna Praha«), "Preko Mora" u krasnoj Ottonoj narodnoj biblioteci, pak drama "Sestre" i komedija "Obiteljska Tajna" u kazalištnoj knjižnici, u kojoj su djela najpoznatijih evropskih drarnatskih pisaca. Na njemački prevedene su neke Kurnićićeve crtice, te "Jelkin Bosiljak" i "Sirota'.
"Urota Zrinjsko-Frankopanska", koja izlazi u »Dornu i Svietu« najnovije je djelo gospodina Kumičića.

Catedral de El Burgo de Osma
www.lafronteradelduero.com/Paginas/el_burgo_de_osma.html
La Catedral de El Burgo de Osma, bajo la advocación de Santa María de la Asunción, es el resultado de una sucesión secular de actuaciones constructivas que van desde los primeros años del siglo XII, cuando se levantó el primitivo templo románico, hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en que se dio remate a la torre barroca. Aunque conserva escasos elementos de la obra románica y luce añadidos renacentistas, barrocos y neoclásicos, lo que predomina en el conjunto catedralicio son las construcciones góticas llevadas a cabo en diversos periodos.
La Catedral burguense fue declarada Monumento Nacional el 3 de junio de 1931, y «entorno de protección» por Decreto 84/99, de 22 de abril, de la Comunidad de Castilla y León. Comparte la sede episcopal desde 1959 con la concatedral de San Pedro de Soria.
Apunte histórico
Osma es sede episcopal al menos desde 597, fecha en la que está documentado que su obispo, Juan, tomó parte en el Concilio doce de Recaredo. De esta época visigoda no se conserva vestigio arqueológico alguno referido al templo catedralicio que se ubicaría en la antigua Uxama. Tras el lapso de tres siglos de ocupación musulmana (s.VIII al X) y otro más de repoblación y consolidación del dominio cristiano, en 1101 se restauró la diócesis bajo los auspicios de la Sede Metropolitana de Toledo. En esa fecha tomó posesión de la silla episcopal el que fue su primer titular en esta segunda y definitiva era diocesana: Pedro de Bourges (San Pedro de Osma).
Por entonces, no sólo se había abandonado la antigua Úxama, emplazada ahora en el llano con el topónimo de Osma, sino que se estaba desarrollando un burgo o barrio al otro lado del río Ucero en el que existía una iglesia benedictina con culto a San Miguel. Ese fue el lugar elegido para levantar la nueva catedral en el estilo arquitectónico imperante en los albores del siglo XII: el románico. No hay noticia cierta de cuándo se comenzó la construcción de este templo pero es de presumir que fuese durante el episcopado de Pedro de Osma, es decir, entre los años 1101 y 1109. En todo caso, los rasgos estilísticos de lo poco que de él ha quedado no dejan lugar a duda de que proceden de principios de dicho siglo. Los obispos sucesores de Pedro que regirían la diócesis a lo largo de la primera mitad del siglo XII -Raimundo, Beltrán y Esteban- debieron ser los continuadores de la obra y quienes la llevaron a término, pues parece que quedó concluida a mediados de siglo.
Corta vida le esperaba a la flamante catedral. En 1231 accedió a la sede episcopal oxomense Juan Díaz de Medina (a quien se nombra con frecuencia como Juan Domínguez), Canciller de Fernando III el Santo. Este prelado, que provenía de la Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor de Valladolid de la que fue abad en los años anteriores (1219-1230) y que él mismo había reconstruido por entero, debió entender que la prematuramente obsoleta iglesia románica no poseía las dimensiones ni la funcionalidad que los nuevos tiempos demandaban y, experimentado como era en la construcción de grandes templos, decidió en 1232, y así lo puso en práctica, derribar la «vieja» catedral y erigir otra ajustada a los cánones góticos, al modo como se estaba haciendo en Burgos, en Cuenca o en Toledo. No obstante, la piqueta demoledora respetó el claustro y la sala capitular.
Las obras del templo gótico se prolongaron durante más de un siglo, siendo el obispo Bernabé quien a mediados del XIV logró darles fin. El resultado fue una iglesia de planta de cruz latina con tres naves de cinco tramos, transepto de cuatro tramos además del crucero, presbiterio de dos tramos, ábside principal y cuatro capillas absidales, dos a cada lado, sobre el muro oriental del transepto de forma parecida a las del monasterio cisterciense de Santa María de Huerta. El conjunto gótico se completó a principios del siglo XVI con la sustitución del claustro románico por el actual gótico tardío adosado al muro de la nave septentrional. El derribo del primero se llevó a cabo en 1505; de él se salvaron algunos capiteles y la arquería del frente de la sala capitular. Algunos años después, durante el mandato del obispo Pedro Álvarez de Acosta (1550-1554), se realizó el retablo mayor, obra de Juan de Juani y Juan Picardo.
El siglo XVIII fue pródigo en obras y reformas. En 1767 se finalizó la torre en su tercer intento, pues dos anteriores habían fracasado por derrumbe. La cabecera de la iglesia sufrió importantes alteraciones, primero por la construcción de la girola y de la capilla mayor, y luego por la incorporación de la sacristía y la capilla del venerable Palafox. La reforma de la capilla mayor se debió a Juan de Villanueva, lo mismo que la construcción de la sacristía (1770) y el proyecto de la capilla de Palafox (1772), si bien la ejecución de esta última obra le cupo a Sabatinni entre los años 1778 y 1783.

Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge
stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...
Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.
At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).
The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.
Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].
Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.
Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.
The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.
The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.
The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.
The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.
Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.
The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

Since 2001 we have been trying to find Digiscope solutions, from the perfect camera, adapters, lenses, eyepieces, scopes and mounting systems. Now we have great camera, lenses, eyepieces Super Scopes and mounting systems. To my way of thinking Adapters have always been a challenge and the weakest link in Digiscoping. The Manufactures of the adapters have been camera brand specific, over engineered, or have depended on the filter threads of a camera or camera lens to support totally the weight of the camera. No Good, I promise that no lens manufacture would recommend that. Referring to the term “over engineered” I am referring to adapters like the swing models. Personally I believe that they lack support for the camera and seem to be easily damaged while in the field. The new ATX/STX Swarovski seems to have corrected the major concern of camera support, not depending of the filter threads to support the camera system unlike the DCA or the DA-10 from Kowa what I currently use. I have broken in half 4 lenses in the past years using those systems before I tried Support Brackets like the TSN-DA3. Support brackets are great; the scope, eyepiece, adapter and camera are now one secure solid piece if one can remember to lock everything down. I have to confess that due to my negligence of not checking to see if everything was tightened I have send a Scope in for repair and ruined an expensive DSLR when it smashed on the asphalt road. Weight is another issue. The Kowa TSN-DA3 Digiscope Support Bracket weighs 2.58 pounds. The one I own went to a machine shop and all none structural Aluminum was milled away cutting the weight to just over 2 pounds. Some of my days in the field carry me 8 or more miles walking. So like a back packer every pound counts. Up until now the TSN-DA3 was very important to keep my kit functioning and secure. So I carried that 2 + additional pounds.
At the Space Coast Festival two different people showed me a new Adapter. Angie “just a birder” bought one she is excited and bragging about hers. It was of high quality machined Aluminum that will work with 4/3 camera as well as some DSLR and P&S cameras. A minor sleeve change (inner ring) and it will adapt to any spotting scope eyepiece. It is not expensive and best of all the weight of the camera stresses the scope not the filter threads of the lens. There for a support bracket is not necessary, cutting my carry weight 2+ pounds. I ordered one.
Yesterday I received my Digidapter. I watched the video on www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVGfQTd8UPQl for quick assembly instructions. I inspected it for deficits like over engineering or a key feature not considered. I could not any faults. It was designed for quality, for the speed and smoothness in mounting the camera on a scope coming back to same position each time without adjustment or alignment.
•The fasteners are of the highest quality, brass and stainless.
•The screw design for mounting the camera in the tripod mount is superior.
•The brass stop screws on the mounting plate are designed for finger tightening, no fear of stripping the brass parts from over tightening. The camera comes back to the same spot every time.
•The elevation plate has milled slots so only the provided Allen key is necessary to lock the camera in place.
•The camera does not have to be removed from the Digidapter to replace batteries and flash cards. .
• Coupling the camera to the eyepiece is a breeze. Close tolerance machining and the highest quality anodizing is why it is smooth and easy.
•To change from one scope manufacture to another or if the eyepiece is different in size all that is needed is a different inner ring, all of the other parts will remain the same. This means for those scope owners that would like a functional adapter for a Pentax, Celestron, Vortex or Vanguard scope it is now available at a reasonable price.
•Overall, it is solid and functional, easy to use, returns to the same position with each mounting. No binding, pieces glide together, no effort. Precision and effortless in use, protecting the camera and eyepiece from stress damage. No adapter that I have seen mounts the camera and has it ready to shoot faster, safer and with more precision.
•The Digidapter is the best I have seen.
The big question at the Space Coast Festival was would the new 20mm f/1.7 ll ASPH Lumix lens works with this adapter. That lens is short like a Pancake lens but it is about 2 inches in diameter. I phoned my order to Paul Sayegh the owner and designer of the Digidapter. We spent hours on the phone discussing the 4/3s and some of the unique lenses that this system is creating. I had the lens in hand with a pair of dial calipers. I measured and re-measured the key points of the lens and measurement in relation to the camera. I took and then emailed to Paul the photos of the GX 7 and lens and added the measurement to the photos. After receiving the photos we talked again and at Paul’s request I re-measured everything once more. In three days I received my Digidapter and it was perfect.
Paul is an engineer, a designer, a communicator and a great machinist with an advanced knowledge of stress and tolerances. Paul is a big lens photographer that found Digiscoping and knows the importance of Digiscoping as a tool in photography. Digidapter and Paul Sayegh deserve our support.

Our Lady of Lourdes & St Joseph, Leigh on Sea, Essex
I passed OLoL&SJ (apologies for the acronym) on my way to St Clement and had to stop. This RC church had fallen off my radar and would have been missed had it not been so arresting.
Built in the 1920's to the design of the parish priest, Fr FW Gilbert, it stands as his personal testament to God. Full of good period glass, a very Catholic reredos, lectern and rood; unusually a SE tower but, to my mind, the most exceptional feature is the Lady Chapel which is a scaled replica of Lourdes.
A rich priest's homage to Gothic architecture with a distinct Catholic twist - I wish this was my parish church!
Neither Pevsner nor Mee covered it (inherent anti Catholicism at work?) so Taking Stock instead:
An idiosyncratic Gothic church of the 1920s, very much a personal work by the parish priest Fr F. W. Gilbert, but closely following the design of Charles Nicholson’s church of St Alban at Westcliff-on-Sea. The church was sympathetically extended in the 1960s. The interior is rich in fittings, some designed by Fr Gilbert.
The original church (now the parish hall) began life as a timber-framed, corrugated iron drill hall, originally built for the Essex Volunteers in 1900 under the supervision of Major Burles and purchased in 1913. The site of the present church was purchased by the Rev. F.W. Gilbert in 1924, using donations and his private money. It appears that Fr Gilbert acted as his own architect, his design borrowing heavily from that of the Anglican church of St Alban the Martyr at Westcliff-on-Sea, built in 1898-1908 from designs by Nicholson & Corlette. The Gilbert family promised £2,000 once building work commenced. The contract price was £12,234. The builders were Messrs Marshall & Smith of Grays but Fr Gilbert acted as his own clerk of works, using local labour, including unemployed men from Grays. The foundation stone was laid on 7 October 1924 and the church opened in September 1925. The presbytery was built in 1925.
The church was sympathetically extended in 1965-66 by Burles, Newton & Partners, in the same style and materials; the west wall was moved twenty feet further out to create a choir gallery, west door and porch and a baptistery with organ chamber above. Proposals to replace the old hall with a new and larger building were prepared in 2007 but have not yet been implemented.
The church is a large and handsome structure in a free Gothic style. The walls are faced with random rubble with stone dressings. Apparently much of the stone was quarried near Glasgow and was originally used as ballast in lighters intended for the Gallipoli campaign, which were later bought by a local ship owner, who donated the stone for the building of the church. The roof is covered in plain tiles. On plan the church comprises a long nave and sanctuary under a continuous roof swept down over north and south aisles, southwest porch, northwest organ chamber, southeast double transept and southeast tower. The gabled west end is Burles & Newton’s work of the 1960s and has a broad straight-headed doorway flanked by small trefoiled windows with a large six-light traceried window above. On the north side is a tall transeptal organ chamber and then the low side wall of the north aisle with three pairs of small trefoiled windows. On the south side is a small projecting porch and then the low side wall of the south aisle, a double transept with three-light traceried windows in the gabled ends and then the bold square south east tower. The tower is of three stages with a traceried two-light window on the south side of the lowest stage and pairs of small openings in the two stages above. The tower has a single large diagonal buttress at the southeast corner, crenellated flint-faced parapets and a tiled spirelet. The east end wall of the sanctuary is articulated with three round-headed blind arches. This wall fronts the garden of the large presbytery which is attached to the northeast corner of the church, and the church and presbytery together form a strong architectural composition.
The interior walls are all plastered and painted with plain flooring of timber. There is a west gallery in the 1960s extension and nave arcades of four bays of simple pointed chamfered arches on square chamfered concrete piers. Above each pier the nave is spanned by the tie beams of the roof and above them is a five-sided timbered ceiling. The aisles have lean-to roofs and are also timbered. The east bay on the south side is a small transept. There is no chancel arch in the usual sense, but the division between nave and sanctuary is marked by pilaster strips on the walls with a rood beam at half- height and a timber rib spanning the roof between them. The sanctuary has a single large open arch on each side and is richly furnished. The east wall in particular is lined to full-height with carved decoration. The floor is black and white marble. On the south side of the sanctuary is a second transept divided from the first by a double arch resting on dwarf double columns with ornamental Gothic capitals. In the east wall of this transept a chamfered pointed arch leads to the base of the tower which contains a Lourdes grotto.
The church is rich in fittings. These include the carved timber reredos filling the whole east wall, the extraordinary pulpit with figures of evangelists supported by cherubs, apparently designed by Fr Gilbert, who also designed the figures of the rood beam, the elaborate oak stalls in the sanctuary and the font at the west end of the nave given in memory of Col. Knight (d.1891) with its stone bowl on clustered columns and a surrounding floor of Cosmati work.
There is some stained glass in the church including the west window by Whitefriars and other windows by Goddard & Gibbs. The scale model of the Lourdes grotto was built by Cyril Psaila (d. 1931).
Here is the amazing The Village Cave Hotel i stayed in Cappadocia. I would highly recommend The Village Cave Hotel for all backpackers, like me :). You can even book your hostel online from Turkey Hostels. Cheers !

With at least 3 marriages in my grandmother's family tree (apparently) in as many generations conducted within /b/ 1805 and 1853, this most historic bldg. in this historic city features more often than any other I know of as a setting for such events in my mother's family history. (See below.)
- "St John's Kirk is the oldest standing building in Perth, and is one of the most important parish kirks in Scotland. It was first mentioned in 1126, and has played a central part in the life of the burgh. The original building was completed by 1241, when the Kirk was dedicated by the Bishop of St Andrews, but it has undergone many alterations since then. In 1440 a new choir was built, now the oldest remaining part of the building. The nave was rebuilt later in the century.
- "The best known incident to take place [here] was John Knox's sermon against idolatry, preached on May 11, 1559. Some of the congregation (Knox referred to them as "the rascal multitude") took him at his word, stoned the priest, stripped the church of all its fittings and ornaments, then ran to the Greyfriars, Blackfriars, and Charterhouse monasteries and stripped them down to their bare walls. [Wtf?] After the reformation, partitions were erected to divide the church into 3, the East, Middle and West Kirks, each with its own congregation and minister." www.perthcity.co.uk/attractions-and-leisure/buildings-mon... www.scottish-places.info/parishes/parhistory555.html My great x 3 grandparents (Mom's Mom's Mom's Dad's parents) and the bride's parents, my great 4 grandparents, were married in this church, specifically the 'East Church Parish'. (See below.)
- St. John's has the finest collection of post-Reformation church plate in Scotland. And the collection of medieval bells is the largest to have survived in Great Britain.
- Perth's old name 'St. John's town' was a reference to this kirk.

The following's only of interest to close family or to those on my Mom's Mom's side. (It's a dry repository of info. re my Mom's Mom's tree.):
- My great great grandparents (Mom's Mom's Dad's folks), George McLaren and Helen/Ellen Marshall, were married in Perth in 1853, but probably not in St. John's kirk as they were members of the 'Free Church', a popular denomination at the time, and although it was only 10 years old in 1853, there were a number of Free church bldg.s in and @ town back then. They were married by a Rev. Murdoch for what that's worth. But at least 2 or 3 couples a little further up my grandmother's tree were betrothed in this medieval pile (incl. my great grandmother's father's parents David Greig and Elizabeth Whittet in 1826, Elizabeth's parents Alexander Whittet and Helen/Nelly Mackie in 1805, and possibly my great grandmother's great great grandparents, her Mom's Dad's Dad John Menzies' folks in 1767.)
- "The Free Church of Scotland was formed in 1843 when most of the evangelical ministers in the Church of Scotland resigned because of state interference in its internal affairs. ... Under a system known as Patronage, landowners could nominate and present ministers to congregations, irrespective of whether those ministers were evangelical or even whether the congregation wanted them. This was regarded by many as totally unacceptable. ... The result was that in 1843, in what became known as 'The Disruption', [the] new denomination was formed. ... Immediately following the Disruption, Perth - 'where the Scottish Reformation first sprang from thought into action' - had 5 Free Church congregations." www.knoxchurchperth.com/history.html
GREIG - WHITTET - MACKIE
- A pair of great x 3 grandparents (Mom's Mom's Mom's Dad's folks), David Greig and Elizabeth "Whytock" (sic, Whittet), were married in Perth in this church a generation earlier in 1826, specifically in the 'East Church Parish' portion or division of it, as witnessed by church 'elder Robert Duncan'. I don't know of any ancestors in my tree who married younger. The groom was 16 or 17 and already a shoemaker, and the bride was 13 or 14 (more likely 14), but only if they both reported their ages accurately to census-takers in 1851, and if Elizabeth did so in 1861. Census records are contradictory as to whether their son Robert, my great great grandfather, was born in Perth or in Edinburgh, but most likely Edinburgh; 3 records indicate Perth and 2 Edinburgh, but those 2 are the earliest (neither is a baptismal record). If he misrepresented his place of birth as Perth, that could be a red flag that he wasn't proud of his childhood in Edinburgh or that he didn't have deep roots there. But his father David, the young groom, was born in Edinburgh. David and Elizabeth were both living in Perth in 1826, where he was "in the East Church Parish of Perth" and she was "in said Parish" per their marriage record. Elizabeth was born and/or raised in Inchture, Perthshire in the 'Carse of Gowry', much closer to Dundee than to Perth. Her family was living in Perth (per this church's register) when her elder and younger sisters were baptized in this church, so the family seems to have moved back and forth some. It's also possible that they commuted from Inchture for those baptisms and that the minister or registrar was careless or assumed the family was living in Perth when he indicated as much in those entries in the register (despite his impressive handwriting).
- Elizabeth's parents, Alexander Whittet and Helen/Nellie Mackie, were married in this church as well another generation earlier by the august Rev. James Scott. artuk.org/discover/artworks/reverend-james-scott-of-perth... They spent some time in Perth. Did one of them have roots here? (More re Elizabeth's parents below.)
- @ 15 yr.s later, the young couple David and Elizabeth Greig and their 6 kids, of whom great great granddad was the eldest, were living in 'the Northback of Canongate' in Edinburgh, a crowded slum then, while David worked as a 'Bootcloser'. www.watercolourworld.org/collections/8ee47a53-02c0-3ba8-9... 10 yr.s later, he'd become a 'Master' shoemaker employing 2 people (incl. his son, great great granddad, I think, an apprentice 10 yr.s earlier) and the family had moved to an apt. in the "3rd House Right hand" in Skinner's close on the High st. at its west end in the "Parish of Tron church" (another slum then but the ultimate in prime real estate today), a low entrance to which is now covered by a convex mirror.: www.tiktok.com/@andy_highlander/video/7208633282970340614 www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artists/8193/skinners-c... www.google.com/maps/@55.9489106,-3.195509,3a,90y,353.68h,... (The impressive courtyard behind the entrance isn't on google maps.) My great x 3 grandmother Elizabeth's death record indicates both Skinner's Close and 64 High st. further east as her address (?). She was living as a widow in a small apt. at 64 High st. 2 yr.s earlier at age 48.
GREIG (and possibly REID, RUSSELL, FORBES, YOUNG, SHORT, REEKIE and PATERSONE)
- Genealogy can be a vice. The following lengthy series of paragraphs re the Greig branch of my tree, from a few paragraphs down to that with the heading MENZIES, is a bit like a difficult Sudoku where you make a 50/50 guess here and there, but more than once or twice leads you astray. I can and will compare the names of siblings of 'candidates' for ancestors with the names of their parents and grandparents in light of Scottish naming traditions (time-consuming), but otherwise the upper reaches of this tree are too speculative and I should edit the following way down. I revisited the Whittet-Mackie side of my tree (see below) and was reminded by those ancestors who lived in the early days of the Scottish census that as often as not baptism and marriage records are NOT extant. If not for those early censuses and the great statutory death records, I might've run with the "best candidates" and barked way up the wrong family tree(s). There are clues to look for, and I'm pretty sure I found some good ones in the McLaren branch (see below and see if you don't agree), but researching the "best candidate" w/o more to go on is wishful thinking. I'll delete most of the following re the Greig tree when I'm done, but I'll take a break too. (Why so much speculation you ask? I'm interested in the Greig branch of my tree what with the history of the clan MacGregor, which I write about here: www.flickr.com/photos/97924400@N00/9971315903/in/photostr... , and wondered if I could find results that reach back towards the early 17th cent. I'm also encouraged by the quality of the records in Edinburgh, and David Greig is the only one of my grandmother's great grandparents who was born in the city [as far as I know] and so he might well have roots there.)
- Census-takers reported twice that my great x 3 grandfather David Greig was born in Edinburgh, once that he was 41 in 1851 (going on 42 later that year?) and that his wife Elizabeth was 38. They were both 30 in 1841, but adults' ages were rounded up or down to the nearest 5 that year. So it appears that David was born in 1809 or 1810, assuming that David knew how old he was. 3 David Greigs were baptized in the city /b/ 1808 and 1811, 5 /b/ 1800 and 1820. I found 3 of the 5 in official death records and a 4th with 'Find a Grave', and none are a match. The only possible exception in extant records was sired by Robert Greig "Weaver Mint" and Janet REID in the parish of 'St. Cuthbert's' in Jan., 1807, again 2 years too old if David knew his DoB. It's not unlikely that David's baptism record isn't extant. None of the 23 David Greigs born /b/ 1800 and 1820 in Scotland who died after 1855 are a match, and the 3 Davids who appear in Church death records (typically very spotty) /b/ 1850 and 1855 don't match either.
- Re the Mint: the former premises of "the Royal Mint of Scotland ... in Edinburgh housed various trades in the early 19th cent. ... The Mint was located in South Gray's Close (aka Mint Close) off the Cowgate/South Bridge area." (Google A.I.) St. Cuthbert's is a famous church below the castle at the west end of Prince's st. gardens, and the parish was a large one that stretched to the north and south of the church. But South Gray's close is central, just @ the block from 59 Blackfriar's where my great grandmother and her family lived when she was a girl in the 1870s.
- No marriage record is extant for Robert Greig and Janet Reid in Scotland /b/ 1760 and 1808, nor a baptism record for any sibling of their son David.
- At least 55 Robert Greigs were baptized /b/ 1750 and 1792 in Scotland (many in Fife), 3 in Midlothian, 1 in Inveresk and 2 in St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh in 1756 and 1782 (age 25 in 1807). The latter was sired by David Greig, "Weaver at Bell's Mill Steps" and Isobella RUSSELL, who have an interesting marriage record (1775) "in the Session of St. Cuthbert's".: They "voluntarily compeared [compear = "to appear in court personally or by attorney" in Scots law] before the session - being interrogate acknowledged their clandestine marriage - produced lines to that effect dated Edin. 11th November 1775. Signed [signature] one Charles Johnson as Min.r gave proof of their being single persons prior to the date of said clandestine marriage - were declared married persons rebuked exhorted and dismissed." (Strange but boilerplate, 4 of 5 entries on the page are in the same wording. "Clandestine marriages" were to be "rebuked", etc.) David and Isobella sired at least 6 kids /b/ 1777 and 1787. IF Robert Greig was also born in Midlothian, and if the records pertaining to this branch of my tree are extant to 1750, then it appears that this David Greig and Isobella Russell were my great x 5 grandparents (Mom's Mom's Mom's Dad's Dad's Dad's folks).
- "Bell's Mills was a historic milling site located on the 'Water of Leith' near Belford rd. in the Dean Village area of Edinburgh [one of the loveliest, most popular spots in the city]. The area featured a water mill - the last to operate on the river - which was destroyed in an explosion in 1971. The site, featuring steep steps leading down to the water and the nearby Bell's Brae, is now a residential area near the Dean Village." (Google A.I.) youtube.com/shorts/Ek-g5TlF5dA?si=b4LySjelC8KFzxBH
- At least 351 Janet/Jannet/Jane Reids (!) were baptized /b/ 1760 and 1792 in Scotland, 38 in Midlothian, 27 in Edinburgh, 5 in St. Cuthbert's, 12 in Edinburgh /b/ 1776 and 1792 (a better match with the candidate for Robert above [for what it's worth], but 12 is a lot) incl. 1 in St. Cuthbert's, sired in 1785 (22 in 1807) by Peter Reid, "Clerk of the Customs in the Grass Market," and Margaret Scede. "Peter Reid, Clerk of the Customs, and Sheep Flakes ["racks or open wicker cages used to hold fodder for sheep during winter" {Google A.I.}] in Grass Market, Edin.r, Residenter in Fountain Briggs [{sic, Fountainbridge} married] Margaret Seede Law.l Daur. of the Deceased Robert Seede, Gardener in Abbeyhill, pres.t Residenter in Canongate ..." in 1781. (I worked as a duty counsel for years on a per diem basis and would occasionally note a connection /b/ a surname on the docket and the crime alleged. Eg.s - Upper, Purchase, Hardware, Felato -> Drug charges, shoplifting, weapons charges, and Soliciting for prostitution [pre-2013], respectively. When everyone you meet makes the same jokes all your life when they learn your name, it can play with your head. The same dynamic applies to professional choices, etc.) Margaret's parents were "Rob.t Seed Gardiner in Abbeyhill & Giles McIntyre" in Leith South (per her brothers' baptism records). At least 3 Peter Reids were baptized in Edinburgh /b/ 1745 and 1766, 2 in St. Cuthbert's. But Janet Reid was too common a name in Edinburgh in the late 18th cent. (again 12 in that 16 yr. window), and I think it's too speculative to research her tree further (and Peter and Margaret might've been too established to have a weaver for a son-in-law, what with the vicious classism of the time, and which persists over there).
- At least 41 David Greigs were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1731 and 1761, 4 in Midlothian/Edinburgh, 3 in St. Cuthbert's in 1736 (39 in 1775), 1745 and 1751 (24 in '75), and 1 in "Edinburgh" (the High st.?) in 1734 (41 in '75). The latter 2 in St. Cuthbert's were both sired by Robert Greig, a "Shoemaker in [the] Pleasants" in 1751 (a "Cordiner" in 1743 [a name for cobblers in Edinburgh who worked with leather imported from Cordoba]), and Grissell/Grizell FORBES, who married in 1742 at St. Cuthbert's and sired 8 kids /b/ 1743 and 1761. (I assume their elder son David passed away.) IF David Greig of 'Bell's Mills Steps' was born in Midlothian and if the record for his baptism is extant, the son of Robert Greig and Grizell Forbes appears to be a match.
- Isobella Russell was the "Daughter of James Russell weaver there" (at 'Bell's Mill steps'). 19 baptism records are extant for an Isabel/Isobel/etc. Russel/Russell sired by a James, 3 in Midlothian, 2 in Edinburgh, incl. one from 1753 for an Isobell who appears to be a match, the daughter of "James Russell weaver in Waters of Leiths and spouse Elisabeth YOUNG ... witness John & George Young weavers @ Dean haugh". James and Elisabeth's unusually informative marriage record of 1751 reveals that James married the boss's niece or cousin. He was a "Weaver Servant [apprentice?] to George Young, Water of Leith ..." Isobell was one of 9 siblings baptized at "Bells Milns", the "Waters of Leith", "@ Dean", St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh /b/ 1751 and 1770.
- At least 4 infants named Robert Greg, no Greigs (although two had siblings named Greig) were baptized in Midlothian /b/ 1697 and 1727, all in Edinburgh, 1 in 1711 in Leith South (near the docks; sired by Thomas Greg/Greig and Rachel Reekie), 2 in 1719 and 1723 in Liberton (a few miles south of 'the Pleasance'; their fathers married as "Gregg"), and 1 in "Edinburgh" in 1726. At least 11 Robert Greigs and 1 Greige were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1697 and 1727, 6 in Fife, 5 in neighbouring co.s and 1 near the village of 'Unthank' in Aberdeenshire. Per their marriage record of 1742, "Robert ... [was] in Pleasants" and "Grissell ... daughter to Alex.r Forbes in Berwick, now in this parish." Again, after a move Grissell/Grizell was "now in [the] parish", while Robert was "in Pleasants", which seems to imply by omission that he was born and raised in Edinburgh (but maybe not). "Thomas Greig Weaver" was a frequent witness at the baptisms of Robert and Grissell's kids, and Thomas Greg/Gregg and Rachel REEKIE (nope, not the most glamourous of surnames) also sired a Thomas Greig in 1720. His brother Robert is the sole candidate of the 16 (4 + 12) in extant baptism records to have a brother named Thomas. Per the baptism record of his youngest brother in 1722, his father Thomas was a "Weaver in Pleasants". In light of these points and as 2 of his siblings were baptized as Greigs, it appears that this Robert, the son of Thomas Greg/Greig and Rachel Reeky/Reekie, baptized in 1711, married Grissell Forbes in 1742 and sired David Greig, cordiner in the "Pleasants", in 1743.
- Only 1 record is extant for the baptism of a Grissell/Grizell/Grissil sired by an Alexander Forbes in Scotland /b/ 1690 and 1730, in Wemyss, Fife, but none in Berwick (the city of 'North Berwick' of Berwick witch-trials [1590] infamy? youtu.be/ZtNu6Xfv6fo?si=ezccBHX6gC3WFos7 ) or Berwickshire, and no record is extant for the marriage of an Alexander Forbes in Berwickshire /b/ 1650 and 1760. "Archbald [sic] son to Alexander Forbes in Wadderlie" (aka Wedderlie, "a prominent estate and house located in the parish of Westruther in the co. of Berwickshire" 40-50 km.s SE of Edinburgh) was baptized in 1717 and might have been a brother or a cousin. Early 18th cent. "records mention an Alexander Forbes who was a doctor of medicine and may have had legal or financial ties to that estate." [Google A.I.]) The reference to Grissell's father in her marriage record might indicate that he was notable, but a medical doctor was highly unlikely to have a cordiner for a son-in-law then, again what with the odious British classism. In any case, either Grissell/Grizell's baptism record is missing or she was sired in 1718 (24 in 1742) by "Alexander Forbes weaver in Mothil hill" (Methilhill, on the banks of the Leven and "suggested to mean "middle church," referring to its position /b/ Markinch and Wemyss" - Google A.I.) and Helen GOODALE in the parish of Wemyss, Fife, a 25-20 km. boat-ride from North Berwick across the mouth of the Forth. That Alexander was a "weaver in Wester Wooms" (Wester Wemyss) and Helen was in Methilhill when they married in Wemyss in 1717. Alexander, Helen and their family could only have sailed for Berwickshire from Fife after the birth of their daughter Janet in 1727 in Kirkcaldy. Grissil had 2 siblings, Janet and Margaret (1721), but no record is extant for the marriage of a Janet or a Margaret Forbes in Berwickshire, nor in Wemyss nor Kirkcaldy, Fife /b/ 1735 and 1777.
- The only record of the baptism of an Alexander Forbes in Wemyss (or anywhere w/in 25 km.s of Wemyss) /b/ 1670 and 1703 was that of the son of Alexander Forbes Sr. and Ewhpem (sic) GARDNER in 1688 (29 in 1717). No marriage record is extant for Alexander Sr. and Ewphem, but baptism records are extant for Alexander Jr.'s sisters Cathren (1683), Katharin (1685 [Cathren must have died in infancy]) and Margaret in 1691.
- 7 baptism records are extant for a Helen/Helene Goodale/Goodaill in Scotland /b/ 1660 and 1703, but only 1 in Fife, in Auchtermuchty, > 20 km.s north of Wemyss, sired in 1665 by an Alexander Goodaill and, coincidentally (?) a Geils RIKIE (see Rachel Reekie/Rikie below), and 6 in Haddingtonshire (East Lothian today). Alexander and Geils/Geilles also sired James in 1661, and Jaine (sic) in Pitmarry, Auchtermuchty parish, in 1664. "Andrew Rikie", a witness at the latter baptism, is noted as Alexander's "brother in law". ("Geilles" is a "Reikie" and Andrew is a "Rikie" in the same entry.) Alexander Goodeall (sic) married Geillis Rikie, "both in [the] parish" of Auchtermuchty, in 1659.
- 30 records are extant for the baptism of an Alexander Forbes in Scotland (many in Aberdeen) /b/ 1630 and 1669, 3 in Fife, but none within 25 clicks of Wemyss. A Euffon Garden was baptized in Longforgan in 1652, Euphin Gardiner sired by a Thomas in 1669 and Ewpham Gardiner sired by a William, both in Errol, Euphem Gardner in Dalkeith in 1660, and a Eupham Gardner in Dundee in 1661, but none w/in 30 km.s of Wemyss. Oh well.
- At least 4 Alexander Goodaills were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1615 and 1645, 1 in Angus, 3 south of the Forth, but none in Fyfe. No baptism record is extant for anyone with a name resembling Geils Rikie/Reikie/etc. /b/ 1600 and 1650, but 11 baptisms were held for infants named Rikie in Scotland /b/ 1628 and 1669, 10 in Fife, incl. 5 in Auchtermuchty /b/ 1650 and '54 sired by Robert Rikie, Andrew Rikie and Christian Smyth, and 3 by Henrie Rikie and Margaret Mair (for what that's worth). youtu.be/5DQHmFx3sHY?si=U6704F4cpuViW3Va
- James Russell was the son of "William Russell weaver there" at 'Water of Leith' per James' marriage record. At least 24 infants named James Russell were sired by William Russells in Scotland /b/ 1710 and 1737, 4 in Midlothian, 2 in Edinburgh, 1. the son of "William Russell poultryman & Marg.t Lennox" of Leith North in 1721, and 2. the son of "William Russell weaver in Lochend and Isabell SHORT" in Leith South in 1730. The latter for the son of a weaver is clearly the best candidate for a match. "In the early 18th cent., Lochend was located in the rural, eastern portion of the parish of South Leith, characterized by the large estate and loch of the same name ... near the village of Restalrig and east of the developing town of Leith." James had two younger brothers, William Jr. (1732) and George (1736).
- When William married Isabell in 1729, she was a "Servant to the Laird of Dirletown", a village and castle in East Lothian, @ 31 km.s east of Edinburgh. The said Laird was then 'William Nisbet, younger of Dirleton', who "resided at Archerfield House, as Dirleton castle [a medieval fortress] had been ruined [by Cromwell] in the 1650 siege". Palatial, Downton-Abbey-esque Archerfield house is pimped out today (like every one of the U.K.'s umpteen estates, etc.) as a wedding venue, luxury resort, etc. youtu.be/qE2JApHwe8s?si=EzOS2UGT-f3juXix
- Elizabeth Young was the "young daughter [of] Andrew Young shoemaker in Edinburgh" per her marriage record. At least 8 infants named Elizabeth/Elisabeth Young were sired by an Andrew Young /b/ 1710 and 1737, 2 in Midlothian, 1 in Edinburgh sired by Andrew Young and Jean Nuckle in Cramond (a suburb) in 1727, the 2nd of at least 5 siblings. Andrew's profession is omitted on all 5 records as well as on the record of his marriage in 1719 to Jean Nuccoll "in the parish of Alloa". Cramond's at the outskirts of greater Edinburgh and I'd expect Elizabeth's marriage record to specify that Andrew was from there if he was. (It's lovely, I visited my great Ena there in '85 and toured the low ruins of Roman walls.) I think it's more likely her baptism record isn't extant or that her family moved to the city when she was young.
- At least 118 infants named William Russell/Russall/etc. were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1685 and 1715, 12 in Midlothian, 10 in Edinburgh incl. 1 in St. Cuthbert's and 4 in Leith South. 2 good candidates for the husband of Isabell Short and the father of James Russell are 1. a William sired in 1702 by "Ninian Russell woivor [sic, weaver] at Loghend [sic] & Bessie Hall his spouse" and 2. another William sired in 1712 by another "Ninian Russell woivor [sic] in Lochend now abroad & Joan BORTHWICK his spouse.'' Either 2 cousins in Lochend named Ninian, both weavers, have sired 2 more cousins, or Ninian sired a William with his first wife, that child passed away, and he remarried and sired a 2nd William in 1712.
- At least 10 infants named Isabel/Isobell Short were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1690 and 1715, none in Haddingtonshire/East Lothian, and only 1 in Midlothian/Edinburgh, sired by David Short, Tanner, and Barbara HOME/Hoam in 1695. No marriage record is extant for this couple. Isobell was the eldest of 5 siblings.
- At least 3 David Shorts (and one Shortus) were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1651 and 1681, 2 in Midlothian, 1 in Edinburgh sired by a David Short Sr., "marikin dresser" (?) and Issobell (sic) WATT in 1672. (One of the witnesses was a "marikin dresser" too. "Marikin" might derive from maroquin, a type of leather.) David Sr. and Issobell married in Edinburgh in 1667, and David Jr. had 6 siblings (1668 - 1681; David's marikin dressing supported a family of 8).
- Barbara Home was sired by a William Home, merchant, and Catharine DEANS in Edinburgh in 1667. William and Catherine married earlier that year and sired at least 4 kids by 1672. (Witnesses incl. Alexander and David Home in 1672, and George and William Home, merchants, in 1669.)
- At least 1 infant named Katherine/Catharine/etc. Dean/Deans/etc. was baptized in Scotland /b/ 1627 and 1653, Catherine sired by George Deanes, advocat (lawyer) and Barbara CORSER/Corsar/Cossar in Edinburgh in 1641 (25-26 in 1667) and 1 of 12 siblings sired /b/ 1631 and '49. When George married Barbara in 1628, he was a "wreater", Scots for writer, a legal professional, specifically a "writer to the signet".
- At least 7 infants named William Home were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1635 and 1653 (William was a "young merchant" per the baptism of his son Alexander in 1672, so it's a safe bet he was younger than 33 when he married, likely no more than a few years older than his wife), ALL in Duns (!), Berwickshire. "The Home (or Hume) family, specifically the Home of Wedderburn branch, are a ... cadet branch of the Earls of Home, holding the historic seat of Wedderburn Castle near Duns, a 18th-cent. country house, after acquiring the land in the early 15th cent." (Google A.I.) The best candidates, in light of age alone, are a Williame (sic) sired by a William Home and Margaret Drysdell in 1636, William and Jenet Home in 1637, Sir William Home and Jennet Baillyie (sic) in 1641, Robert and Margrat (sic) Home in 1644 and David and Hellin Sinclar (sic) in 1644. The William sired by Sir William and Jennet Baillyie would be the same age as his wife Catherine, for what that's worth.
- At least 1 infant named Barbara Corser/Corsar/etc. was baptized in Scotland /b/ 1580 and 1617, sired in Edinburgh in 1610 by David Corser and Bessie LASOUN. No marriage record is extant for this couple, but they sired at least 7 kids in Edinburgh /b/ 1606 and 1620.
- At least 1 George Dean/Deanes/etc. was baptized in Scotland /b/ 1590 and 1617, sired by Williame (sic) Deanis and Jonet (sic) Reid in 1612, but way up in Aberdeen, and as at least 6 Deanes were baptized in that period in Midlothian (none extant elsewhere), 2 in Pencaitland in East Lothian, and 4 sired by 3 couples in Edinburgh, I'd wager that George the advocat was born south of the Forth.
-
- The ONLY extant bapt. record that might be a match for Rachel Reekie/Reeky /b/ 1560 and 1782 is for a Rachel Rikie sired by a Thomas Rikie in "cottowns [cottages] of Forret [hill]", Fife in 1686. She had 4 siblings incl. James Rikie, baptized in 1682. A James Reekie was a witness at a baptism of Thomas and Rachel's son Thomas Jr. in 1720 (the only Reekie who attended as a witness; no Gregs/Greigs).
- A Thomas Reikie (the only candidate for Rachel's father Thomas Rikie in marriage records) married Beatrix PATERSONE in Logie in 1660. A Thomas Reikie (the only candidate in Scotland), son of Thomas Reikie Sr., was baptized in Dysart in southern Fife in 1645. (The writing in these records resembles Arabic or the contents of some forbidding grimoire. Paper must have been very precious then.)
- My grandmother mentioned more than once that Edinburgh had been known as "Auld Reekie" (common knowledge today) for something of a stench in the unhygienic closes along the High st., and that residents would shout "Gardy loo!" (from the French "Gardez l'eau") as they'd pour their buckets of excrement, etc. out the windows in their closes. What would she say if I told her that her great x 5 grandmother (my great x 7 [!]; her Mom's Dad's Dad's Dad's Dad's Mom) might have been named Reekie (or Reikie/Reeky/etc.) herself? Per Google A.I., the surname "is of Scottish origin, primarily originating in Fife and Aberdeenshire as a habitational name or a diminutive of "Rickard" (a form of Richard). It likely derives from the Older Scots name Ricky or Reky, or references geographical locations like Reekie Linn. Historically, it is associated with smoky, foggy areas, possibly linked to the nickname for Edinburgh, "Auld Reekie"."
- "Thomas Greg" had been a "Serv.t [apprentice] to John Ochiltree weaver Burges of Eye" and "Rachel Reekie [was a] serv.t to Widow Stewart in Pleasants" when they married in June, 1708. They sired 6 kids /b/ 1711-1722, 1 in 'Caltoun', 2 at or near St. Ninian's chapel (both in Leith South), etc. and the youngest in 'Pleasants' south of the High st. Again the best (and only) candidate for his wife Rachel was born in 1686 (22 in 1708). I doubt that Thomas could have been > 3 yr.s younger than his wife, nor more than 10 years older. At least 10 infants named Thomas Greg/Grege/Gregg/Greig were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1676 and 1689, 5 in Midlothian, 4 in Edinburgh and 1 in Fife. The most interesting could be the son sired in 1688 by David Greig and Agnes Ballingall in "Carslogie ground", Monimail parish, Fife (the only one from Fife), "just west of Cupar", only @ 6 km.s SW of Forret hill, the home of Rachel Rikie, who was only 2 yr.s his senior and, again, the only candidate in extant records for Robert Greg's mother. A country road named "Main st." leads @ 4 km.s straight up across farmland from just north of Cupar to Forret hill. Is that too coincidental to be coincidental? But note that Robert Greg's parents married in St. Cuthbert's. At least 1 Thomas Greig was sired in St. Cuthbert's by a Thomas Greig Sr. and Margaret Watt, both "in [that] parish" when they married and who sired 2 kids in "Birsto [sic]", "the area known as the Bristo Port (gate), ... /b/ ... Grassmarket/Lauriston to the west and Nicolson St./Potterrow to the east". Nicolson st. is < 200 m.s west of Pleasance.
-
Again, I don't assume David knew his year of birth, but the 2-3 year gap and the fact that this candidate Robert was a weaver, not a cobbler (David was already a "Shoemaker" by the age of 16 or 17) weighs against him. Then again, I note that my great x 3 grandfather named his eldest son Robert, and that this candidate, Robert, was the son of a David.
- One of the 5 David Greigs I mentioned, the son of William Greig and Jane Adamson, was born in 1810 in "Jack's Land" in the 'Northback of Canongate', which again is where my great x 3 grandfather David and his family were living in 1841. So I wondered if William might be a relative, but I've researched his tree and haven't found a connection.
MENZIES (More below)
- Great great granddad's father-in-law (Mom's Mom's Mom's Mom's Dad), Archibald Menzies, was baptized in the city of Perth @ 20 yr.s earlier, but in 'the Gaelic chapel' built in 1787, which served Highlander immigrants to the city until the mid-19th-cent. Services were conducted in Gaelic there. (Archibald's mother hailed from a coastal town on the Firth of Moray not far east of Inverness [see below], and his father hailed from a gaelophone region in Perthshire, quite possibly in or @ Weem or Dull in north Perthshire.) The bldg.'s been the venue for a succession of night-clubs much more recently ('Electric Whispers' and 'ZOO Nightclub'), but was demolished in 2016. www.scotsman.com/arts-and-culture/perths-zoo-nightclub-to...
MARSHALL/MARSHAL - CHALMERS (and RORY/ROREY) - CAMERON
- My grandmother and both of her parents were born and raised in Edinburgh, but again 2 of her grandparents, her Dad's folks George McLaren Jr. and Helen/Ellen Marshall, were born in Perthshire. Her Dad's Mom's folks, Joseph Marshall/Marshal and Margaret Chalmers, were married in Auchtergaven aka Bankfoot, a town north of Perth (Margaret's hometown) and lived as newlyweds in Methven, a town only 6-8 clicks west of Perth (Joseph's hometown evidently) in the mid-1820s, but were back living in Bankfoot 15 yr.s later. youtu.be/1S30LCwC6GY?si=WlB0G9vi1xpvINCC While Margaret was raised in that town, she was born in Ireland to a James Chalmers and an Agnes Cameron, and was 3 or 4 years of age when her young family moved to Bankfoot in 1802 or 1803. But an extant baptismal record for a James sired by a David Chalmers (from Bankfoot) and a Margaret Rorey/Rory (from 'Little Dunkeld' youtube.com/shorts/lF9_mipSUVg?si=rvvPQt2hb234gBIE where Niel Gow is buried www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GEcRirHlqE&list=RD3GEcRirHlq... ) in 1771 in Bankfoot (specifically 'Coltrannie', the site of a farm on the outskirts of town and of a tower named Coldrayny or Koldrayny in the 16th cent. www.stravaiging.com/history/castle/coltrannie/ ) seems to be a match for her father. (It's an exact match for his age per his tombstone; he named his first son David; and Chalmers were in abundance in Bankfoot in the 1770s, incl. another James born in 1775. I haven't found any Chalmers in the Irish records, but which are as patchy as they are following the fire in the archives in Dublin in 1922. [Baptisms and marriages of Presbyterians were only recognized in Ireland if performed by a minister of the 'Church of Ireland' until as late as the mid-19th cent. - !] "There were 81 with [that] surname in Ireland in 1911" according to barrygriffin.com.) If the baptismal record's a match (and I think it is), James had travelled to Ireland (to find work? or a wife? see below) where he likely met and married great x 4 grandma Agnes Cameron, sired Margaret and 2 of her sisters there, and then moved his family back to his home in Bankfoot where he and Agnes sired 9 more kids. Cameron is a Scots surname ("There were 860 with [that] surname in Ireland in 1911" per barrygriffin.com), Margaret's parents were Presbyterian and skilled workers in the linen-weaving industry, which in Ireland in @ 1800 was based in 3 co.s in Ulster, Scots-Irish 'plantation country', and 2 contiguous co.s to the south and west, and so it's likely the young Chalmers family were living in Co. Antrim or Down before they moved to Bankfoot. It follows that if Agnes Cameron was Irish, and again it's likely she was, she was almost certainly 'Scots-Irish'.
- My grandmother said that her paternal grandmother Helen/Ellen Marshall was Irish in response to questions and in a tone of admission in a discussion at the table with my Mom in our home in the late 80s. She said her mother "didn't like her mother-in-law because she was Irish", to paraphrase. (She didn't say much about the Irish in Edinburgh, just enough to give the impression that they had a poor reputation as impoverished people who would beg for $. "Irish immigrants were frequently blamed [in early 20th cent. Scotland] for social problems like overcrowding, disease, crime, and drunkenness, even though these issues stemmed from the poverty and poor housing conditions they were forced to endure." [Google A.I.] I'm very proud of my Irish roots on my Dad's side, myself.) My grandmother was honest (e.g., she was candid about her grandmother's death from a tapeworm infection), and had told this to my Mom years earlier evidently. (Mom said that the Scots and Irish are "really the same people, you know".) But she was wrong on two counts. 1. Again, the records reveal that her grandmother was born and raised in Perthshire; rather, it was HER mother Margaret who was born, but not raised, in Ireland, and it seems it was Margaret's mother Agnes who was Irish or 'Scots-Irish' while, again, Margaret's father James was Scots. If so, my grandmother's tree was 1/16th Irish or 'Scots-Irish'. (It's also possible, but much less likely, that Agnes was Scots and married James somewhere in Scotland [she didn't hail from Bankfoot] before moving with him to Ireland to start their young family. James would've done well to travel to Ulster to look for a wife where he would've been a catch in the 1790s for any young Scots-Irish woman with an interest in emigrating. The Scots-Irish experienced economic hardship then, and Presbyterians were subject to religious discrimination in Ulster [c/o the 'Popery Act' of 1704], but not in Scotland [of course].) And 2. Her mother wouldn't have known her mother-in-law in any event as all my grandmother's grandparents had died before her parents were married. The kernel of truth in this might be that my grandmother heard her mother tease her father or gossip about his mother's Irish roots without knowing much about them, or my grandmother might have misapprehended her mother's information. My Uncle Mac believed that the McLaren clan was Gaelic in origin (i.e. from Dal Riata, SW Scotland and considered [then] to have 6th cent. roots in Ireland), while the MacGregors had (the more indigenous) Pictish roots, which might've been a point of pride for my great grandmother, whether or not it's true. And it's common for a parent to promote a sense of pride in their own heritage relative to that of their spouse in the ongoing competition for filial love, which we might consider to be a mild form of 'parental alienation' today (if that's not being unkind to my great grandmother). It's likely my great grandmother would've heard of her husband's great grandmother Agnes Cameron, for his mother Ellen, Agnes' granddaughter, had been taken in by her by the age of 12 and was living with her and 3 of her own daughters in Bankfoot while Agnes was a widow of 60 and continued to work as a 'Linen yard wind', and while Ellen's 2 elder and 4 younger siblings continued to live with her parents (which raises questions). I wonder if Agnes and her daughters (25, 20 and 20) might've been better able to support Ellen than Ellen's parents, whose hands were full with their 6 other kids. But Ellen was working as a 'Linen yard wind' then too (at 12!). Hmmm. I strongly suspect that my great aunt Agnes, my grandmother's eldest sister, was named after her father's hospitable Scots-Irish great grandmother. All the puzzle-pieces fit if so. (Btw, I think it was in that same discussion at the table that my grandmother recalled seeing Chinese women with their tiny bound feet down at the docks in Leith when she was a girl.)
- Great x 3 grandma Margaret's (much) younger sister Helen's middle name was Wyllie, for James Wylie I think who inherited the Airleywright Estate in Auchtergaven in 1806, "created feus in the villages of Bankfoot and Waterloo and offered them to [those farmers or crofters] dispossessed" by his clearances. He was probably the family's landlord. roysofauchtergaven.blogspot.com/ His son Thomas Wylie developed the 'Airleywright Linen Works' in @ 1840 at 'Graham court' in Bankfoot, a town known for its textiles heritage and its once-thriving artisan sector in which this family seems to have prospered. They lived in the 'Airleywright' neighbourhood for a time where, again, Margaret and her mother Agnes worked in the mill as 'Linen yard winds'. The Chalmers erected a large family tombstone in the kirkyard at Bankfoot (covered in 19 names over 3 or 4 generations), the only one I know of that remains standing in Scotland for any of my ancestors outside Edinburgh.
- Again it's evident that my great x 3 granddad Joseph Marshall/Marshal (Mom's Mom's Dad's Mom's Dad), a stone-mason, hailed from Perthshire too. The only candidate extant for his baptism in Perthshire's records took place for the son of a James Marshal "at Ardetie" (Ardittie per Google A.I.) in 1792 in the Parish of Methven (the site of 'the Battle of Methven' in 1306 at which Robert the Bruce was ambushed youtu.be/bhwlPToqQ_4?si=nKVNwCs4IoogVkMC youtu.be/xeM_yn7JzJc?si=38MdXIyYKEWdIhPt ), @ 3 clicks NW of Methven as the crow flies, just south of the River Almond maps.nls.uk/view/216587020 , and where he and Margaret sired 2 kids as newlyweds in the 1820s. When their eldest child, Robert, was baptized, Joseph was at or of the "Lint Mill Ardittie" (so it's an excellent bet that the baptismal record for Joseph "at Ardetie" is a match for my great x 3 grandfather). The only candidate for a James Marshall baptized in Methven parish /b/ 1735 and 1777 per extant records was sired by a James Sr. in 1770 in Cloag. ("Cloag Farm Cottages [tourist accommodations] lie just north of the village of Methven" today. www.insiderscotland.com/cloag-farm-cottages-perth/ ) The only marriage record extant for a James Marshal/Marshall in Methven before 1792 is to a Janet Alison in 1778 (although no baptism records are extant in that parish for candidates for other children sired by that couple before 1804 - ?).
McLAREN and PEDDIE (and possibly NICOL / NICOLSONE)
Update - Jan. '26: I've made quite a discovery (I think) and have a tale to tell. I'll rewrite and delete much of the lengthy write-up that follows as a result /b/ this sentence and the paragraph under the heading 'Whittet - Mackie" in caps.:
- The name Clunie or Cluny, that of a town in Perthshire (sp. Clunie), and which appears at points along both the Tay (sp. Cluny) and Tummel rivers, features in my family history as my great uncle Mac maintained that his grandfather George McLaren, a tanner, 'machine beltmaker', and allegedly the manager of a tannery in Edinburgh, was the son of "the miller of Clunie", who moved to the nation's capital as a young man in the 1840s or '50s to find work. I spent (only) a day in the archives in Edinburgh this trip (a few days after I took this photo) to research my grandmother's Scots roots, but focused on my great grandmother's side of my tree (since proven to be more opaque than my great grandfather's). I succumbed to the temptation to dive down the online genealogy-research rabbit-hole some years ago and quickly found my great grandfather's official death record dating from Feb., 1889, and a census record and official birth records for some of his kids which indicate that he was born in 1827 or '28 in the parish of Logierait, rather than Clunie. His death record indicates that he passed away at age 61 at his home at '18 the Pleasance', Edinburgh, that he was a "Machine Beltmaker", the son of 'George McLaren [Sr.]', "Farm servant" and 'Jane Graham', and, incorrectly, the spouse of 'Helen Robertson'. (Again, my great great grandmother's name was 'Helen Marshall'.) She passed away at the same address > 3 1/2 years later at the age of 63. Their son-in-law David Currie signed both death records as "Informant" (with the same signature), ample proof that the former record pertains to my great great grandfather notwithstanding the error. But the error brings the accuracy of the names listed for George's parents into some question. I now consider it to be a red flag.
- It's possible (if unlikely) that David Currie forgot his mother-in-law's maiden surname and made it up at the time the record was prepared (esp. if he would've been required to return home to make embarrassing inquiries, and then return to the office to make a second report), and, if so, it's unlikely he knew the names of George's folks. (In that case, he took pains to be informed when he reattended for his mother-in-law in 1892, whose record is accurate.) Did the clerk or official get his records mixed up when entering info., or was he due down at the pub and took liberties seeing as no-one checks these things anyway (apart from a descendant 136 yr.s later)? Noting that the name 'Helen' is correct, I thought it's more likely that the clerk or official made only one error with the one surname, but I've spent much time and treasure in a fruitless search for any other record that links any candidate for a George Sr. to a Jane or Janet Graham, and for any re my great great grandfather that predates 1853 (his marriage record). I've found no baptism record for George or any siblings, NO census records (which isn't unusual, many records didn't survive) ... UNLESS my great great grandfather was sired in 1827 in Logierait parish (again per the 1881 census and his childrens' bapt. records) by parents with different names than those indicated on his death record, who lived in Edradynate, which I've just learned (in Jan. '26) was the location of a place once named the "Miltown of Cluny" (! Bingo? - see below). I thought I'd research this mysterious George McLaren of Edradynate, who would've generated immediate interest if not for the death record, and the results, impressively coincidental details or much consistent evidence, have led to a course correction. (I'll preserve an edited [abbreviated] review of the relatively slight evidence and the leads I found and followed at length re any George Sr. and Jane/Janet Graham further below.):
- George McLaren was a relatively rare name in Scotland in the 1820s, with only 2 Georges baptized /b/ 1825 and 1831 in extant records (although 7 born in that period appear in the census of 1851, see below [I expect Scots to prefer almost any name for a boy over George, see my write-up for the photo of the Dicks in Clunie]), and only 1 in Perthshire (or 2, incl. a MAC-Laren in Dull [see the next paragraph below) which, again, dates to 1827 in Logierait parish - a "Farmer" and the son of a Charles McLaren in "Balinald of Edradyanate" and "his own [former] servant maid Christian Peddie [per their marriage record of 1822], daughter to a Donald Peddie in Smithy Haugh near the Bridge of Almond", likely the ancient, single-arch bridge at Millhaugh, still standing today in or next to Ardittie (coincidentally the home of Joseph Marshall, see above). An old map on "The McKercher Index" online reveals that Edradynate ('Eadar Dhà Dhoimhnid', "Between two deep places") once included the "Miltown of Cluny" by a stream or creek (SE and across a field from the Derculich burn, parallel) which descends to the Tay from a site just a few 100 m.s NW of it, that of the 'Beinn Eagagach Hydro Scheme' today (per Google maps). www.mckercher.org/Places?locale=Weem#:~:text=Farms%20nort... The "'Miltown of Cluny' ... is a small place name or settlement located within the Edradynate Estate area, near the village of Strathtay [see below] ... likely historically associated with a mill." (Google A.I.) The map in the link also reveals a site named 'Balnald' 200-300 m.s, a hop, skip and a jump, NW of the "Miltown". The 'Cluny House Gardens' nearby is a tourist attraction today. Charles and his family moved @ 10 clicks east to a croft in Killechangie sometime /b/ 1827 and 1832.
- Again, 7 George McLarens born /b/ 1825 and 1831 (no MACLarens) are accounted for across Scotland in the 1851 census, 4 in Perthshire, but the only potential match for my great great grandfather (per the census) is a 23 yr. old 'Ag Lab Ploughman' who hailed from Logierait, living in a bothy and working on a farm in East Dowald, Crieff for an Alexander McLaren, 47 going on 48, a farmer of 133 acres "emp [employing] 5 lab", living with his wife (35), sister-in-law, his 4 children and 2 servants, all (except the eldest servant) born in Logierait parish, incl. the 3 yr. old. I assume that Alexander was this George's relatively wealthy cousin although I haven't found a connection in the records. For what it might be worth Alexander and his wife lived in the 'Brae of Pitcastle', Strathtay (Logierait parish) when their children were born, @ 2 km.s downriver and NE of Edradynate. (Logierait parish is @ 61 square miles in area.) Alexander was born in 1803 in "Dalnesudaren" (?) to John McLaren and Elizabeth Scott, who were close in age per a census and married in Logierait in 1802. Elizabeth passed away a widow at 76 in 1857 in the "Milton of Pitcastle".
- My grandmother once mentioned that surnames with the prefix 'Mc' were of ancient Irish (i.e. Gaelic) descent, while Macs were Scots (i.e. Pictish?). I've read this is untrue, but I wonder if it might apply to some degree to McLarens and MacLarens. I note an almost surprising consistency in the spelling of the surname in the records and wonder if this coincides with some debate re the origins of the clan, either with the 13th cent. abbot of Actow in Balquhidder (the clan seat), or with Lorn, son of Erc, in Argyll in 503. My great uncle and his son Jim, who named his home in Charsfield, Suffolk 'Dalriada', were firmly in the latter camp. www.flickr.com/photos/97924400@N00/9601774507 Another rabbit-hole for later.
- At least 8 Charles McLarens were baptized in Perthshire /b/ 1766 and 1812, 3 in Logierait in the 1790s. (McLarens were in abundance in the parish then.) Generations of farmers tend to stay put, but none of the 3 were in Edradynate. 1 was sired by Duncan McLaren and Margaret Ramsay (from 'Little Dunkeld') "in [a] Croft of Pitcastle" (the closest of the 3 in proximity) in 1791; the 2nd by Donald McLaren (of Dowally) and Elspeth Butter (from 'Balnamuire' or 'Little Dunkeld' [?]) in "the Tom [hillock or knoll] of Kilmorich" (1 1/2 clicks SE of the Tummel-Tay confluence) in 1794, whose brother was born in the "Milntown of Pitnacree" (@ 2 km.s east of Pitcastle); and the 3rd by Charles McLaren Sr. and 'Emly' Campbell (sic, Emilia, a former "servant to Cap. Grant of Kinnaird" per her marriage record, 1794) in the "Milntown of Pitnacree" in 1796. (Pitnacree is best known today for an eponymous fiddle tune, 'The Pitnacree Ferryman'.: youtu.be/aiFWk4OYzNA?si=UgYcf9GPKOxryAgq ) Charles Sr. was "AT the Miln of Pitnacree" (emphasis added) per his marriage record and another baptismal record. A Miln? I asked Google A.I. "Is miln an old word for mill?" Answer: Why "Yes, miln (often spelled milne or myln) is an old term for a mill. It derives from Old English (mylen) and is frequently found in Middle English, particularly in Scottish contexts, to describe a [mill]." (Here's a site re a derelict, 19th cent. mill in Pitnacree.: www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/905537 )
- More re the roots of the 3 Charles: 1. the best candidate for Duncan McLaren of Pitcastle (the only Duncan baptized in Logierait /b/ 1735 and 1764) is the son of Robert McLaren and Janet McLaren in "Wester Aberfeldie", born in 1755. 2. Donald (of Dowally) was sired by Patrick McLaren and Isoball/Isball Fleeming in 1760 in the "Mains [Scots for domain] of Killmorich". 3. At least 5 Charles McLarens were baptized in Perthshire /b/ 1750 and 1780, but only 1 in Logierait in 1765, the son of Alexander McLaren (in Logierait) and Kathrine McDonald (in Weem parish [Menzies territory], where newlywed couples are recorded in the registry as "booked & c.". Lol). The family lived for a spell @ 1770 at "the Miln of Balyoukan" (Ballyoukan today, on the A9, 5 km.s NW of Logierait). While I believe that one of the 3 Charles born in Logierait in the 1790s settled at Edradynate where he sired a George McLaren in 1827 (if the relevant record is extant), I can't (yet) say which.
- The 'miltown of Cluny' at Edradynate and the 'milntown of Pitnacree' are tiny places. It's likely that any adult male inhabitant of the mil/miln-towns worked at the mill, and men who work at mills are often referred to as millers. Charles of the 'Balinald of Edradynate' was a "farmer" who lived @ 200 m.s from an active mill, but a miller can farm and a farmer can mill (e.g. a man named Robertson was a "Meal miller and farmer" in 'Milton of Pitcastle' in 1858 per the death record of his wife Catherine McLaren), the moreso if he was raised "at [a] miln" or in a small "milntown".
- In any event, the coincidence that my great Uncle Mac claimed that his grandfather was the son of the 'Miller of Cluny', and that the ONLY candidate in extant baptism and census records for someone born in Logierait parish of his age and with his name is the son of a man who lived @ 200-300 m.s from a mill in a "Miltown of Cluny" (and again that I've found no trace of a George McLaren sired by a George Sr. and a Jane/Janet Graham per his death record), leads me to believe that I've just found my great great grandfather George McLaren in the records, the son of Charles McLaren and Christian Peddie of Edradynate, Logierait parish. This is encouraging and could be something of a vindication of my great uncle Mac and his father and grandfather, as I've assumed for some years now that one of them had conflated the fact that George was raised near the site of a mill (at the confluence of the Tay and Tummel in Logierait) with his father's trade or profession (although the reference to Logierait in the records is to the parish, not the village), or that someone improved on the facts, elevating George's father from a "Farm servant" (per George's death record) to a less-lowly miller. (I shouldn't speculate that the profession of miller is any more prestigious than that of "farm servant" or "ag. lab.", but that might help to explain the disconnect if so. But again Charles is a "Farmer" per his marriage record.) Accuracy and honesty seem to have prevailed over the generations after all. That said, I wonder if Mac might have made a mistake on another point. He recounted that his grandfather George was the manager of a tannery in Edinburgh in which there was a fire, that George became wet while dousing the flames, suffered exposure and soon died of pneumonia. His death record however specifies that he died at 61 of "pulmonalis". Coincidentally (or not?) George's son's father-in-law, Robert Greig (Mac's other grandfather), a "boot-closer" (who worked in a factory or workshop I assume), died at @ age 58 of "acute pneumonia" in 1887. (All four of my grandmother's parents died fairly young, before her parents married.)
- Again, Christian Peddie was Charles McLaren's "own servant maid, being Daughter to Donald Peddie in Smithy Haugh [Millhaugh I think] near the Bridge of Almond" when Charles proposed in 1822 according to their unusually informative marriage record. Of 12 records extant for the baptism of a Christian Peddie/Peddy/Pedy in Scotland /b/ 1775 and 1808 none were for the daughter of a Donald. One sired in 1805 by a "Joseph Pedy" of 'Bridge-end' in the parish of Methven (which includes Millhaugh) and Isobel Allen of Moneydie (per their marriage record of 1802) is likely a cousin. (Sadly, she died in 1883 in a "poorhouse" in Forfar.) But the official death record for "Christina McLaren, widow of Charles McLaren, Farmer" who died at "52" (nope, 57 per the more reliable census of 1861 [Christian would've married at 12 otherwise]) of "apoplexy" (stroke) at 25 Newhall st., Bridgeton, Glasgow in 1862, lists her parents as James Peddie, "Brewery Labourer" and Janet, M.S. "unknown". The informant, her daughter Helen, was working as a "dress maker" the year before at age 24 while living with "Christina", 56, a widow, "formerly [a] Dairymaid" and Helen's sister Jane, 32 and Jane's husband James Cameron, "Block cutter", at 8 Scott st., Calton parish, Glasgow. Helen's and Jane's place of birth is listed as Logierait and Christina's is "Tippermuir", Perthshire (Tibbermore today, @ 3 clicks SE of Methven, site of the Battle of Tippermuir in 1644). Both the death record and the census seem to be a match for George McLaren of Edradynate's mother and sister Helen as Charles and Christian sired a Helen in May, 1835 (in a "Croft of Killechangie"). (No bapt. record is extant for a sister Jane born in 1828-'29 [although records are extant for 6 siblings], but Jane's marriage record confirms that her parents were Charles McLaren and Christina Peddie.)
- A James Peddie and a Janet Peddie (her M.S.), "both in [the] parish" of Moneydie, married in 1785 and sired at least 6 kids /b/ 1787 and 1801 in Tullymoran (in the parish of Logiealmond today), only a km. or 2 west of Millhaugh according to mapcarta.com. (!): mapcarta.com/W371751390?__cf_chl_tk=CiHStq3onl___I0ncn2de... They're the best candidates in extant records for Christian's parents, although Tullymoran (and Millhaugh) are @ 7-8 km.s NW of Tibbermore, and 6 baptism records are extant for James and Janet's children (up to 1801) but none for Christian (born in @ 1805), and James is referred to as a "Farmer" in several of those baptism records and in 4 of his childrens' death records, never as a "Brewery labourer" as in Christian's death record. That said, the family might have moved to "Tippermuir" after 1801 (which might explain why Christian's bapt. record is missing) and James or Donald Peddie (whatever name he went by) might have moved back to Millhaugh or Tullymoran before 1822. And if Christian's mother Janet was also a Peddie, that might explain why her M.S. is "unknown" on her death record. ("I dunno, I only ever knew her as 'Grandma Peddie'.") But the proximity of Tullymoran on the Almond river to "the bridge of Almond" is an impressive coincidence, if that's what it is. (It's almost strange that all 4 of the siblings with official death records died single, but had greater longevity than most of my Mom's ancestors, passing away /b/ age 70 and 87.)
- At least 36 baptisms of a James Peddie, Pedie or Peddy were performed /b/ 1740 and 1770 in Scotland, 11 w/in 5 km.s of Tullymoran and Millhaugh. 4 of 6 in Moneydie are the best candidates in light of their proximity to Tullymoran/Millhaugh and their age.: 1. the son of James Peddie Sr. and Margaret Nicol in "Chappel Hill", @ 1.5 km.s NE of the bridge in 1763; 2. the son of William Peddie and Aemilia Wild in Shannoch "near Tullimoran" in 1761 (24 in 1785) (No marriage record is extant for this couple, nor bapt. records for other offspring); and 1 or 2 IN Tullymoran: 3. the son of William Peddie and Jean France, "both in [Moneydie] parish", in 1766 (19 in 1785) in "Tombrandy", in Harrietfield (in or next to Tullymoran) today (this James had 7 siblings, the youngest born in 1786 in "Tombrandy"); and 4. the son of James Peddie Sr. and Janet Robertson "in Tullymorran" in 1760 (25 in 1785). James and Janet were "both in" Moneydie when they married in 1756 and had a 2nd son in Tullymoran in 1762. The James of "Chappel Hill" is an unlikely candidate (see below) which leaves 3 in or near Tullymoran.
- There's no trace of an Aemilia/Emilia/Amilia Wild in the records apart from her son's bapt. record. At least 29 infants named William Peddie/Peddy/Pedie/Pedy were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1715 and 1750, 23 in Perthshire, 11 in Moneydie alone (!). At least 3 infants named Jean France were baptized in Scotland /b/ 1725 and 1750, none in Perthshire, 2 in Clackmannan, 10-15 km.s west of Stirling, both sired by a William France and Janet Angus in 1738 and 1744. (I assume the elder child passed away.) At
Como todos sabemos, la habitación de los niños es un lugar muy peculiar. Debe ser un espacio especial en donde los pequeños puedan sentirse cómodos y motivados para desarrollar su creatividad. Al pensar en la decoración y el mobiliario de una habitación infantil el primer paso es decidir sobre un tema. Mire la personalidad del niño y las preferencias personales. ¿Le gustan los coches o los animales, vaqueros o extraterrestres? ¿Está fascinado con los cuentos de hadas o historias de la selva? Si no está seguro, también puede dejar que su hijo ayude a escoger, lo que convertirá a la sala en lugar aún más especial.
Los muebles para niños deben ser multifuncionales y tienen la oportunidad de "crecer" acompañando a su hijo. Y, por supuesto, los atractivos diseños animan al niño a sentarse y jugar. Esta es su mesa, su silla, y para los niños, ese sentido de propiedad es un factor muy importante en la construcción de la autoestima. Es cada vez más independiente, y el papel de los padres es sólo ofrecer la suficiente libertad en un ambiente seguro, como una habitación donde todo es favorable a los niños. Aquí se lo puede dejar solo durante horas, aprendiendo a jugar de forma independiente y explorar por su cuenta, sin mamá constantemente preocupada. Eso solo hace que valga la pena elegir un mobiliario infantil especial.
En la elección de mobiliario infantil, debe comprobar la funcionalidad y el diseño. Los muebles deben ser resistentes a las heces, busque las superficies que sean fáciles de limpiar. Las mesas deben ser lo suficientemente amplias como para que el niño pueda desplegar papeles y lápices de colores, juegos de té o libros. Después de todo, este es el "espacio de trabajo" de su hijo. Esto alienta al niño a pasar horas dibujando, escribiendo, leyendo, o participar en juegos de simulación (como invitar a sus osos de peluche para el té de la tarde). Piense en este conjunto como el escenario para la creatividad de su hijo.
En general, los muebles de los niños debe ser: espaciosos - para que el niño sea capaz de moverse con facilidad; firmes- un niño puede ser muy inquieto, pero los muebles para niños los pueden proteger de una lesión; cómodos - es difícil de explicar a un niño por qué tiene que sentarse aquí o allí, así que los muebles cómodos de los niños hará más fácil esta tarea. Gracias al hecho de que el niño convive con sus muebles, aprende rápidamente a utilizarlos y a mantener sus pertenencias en orden.

la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes
Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement".

The Willows at Willow Grove Day Camp is a camp for 3 and 4 year old children. This unique camp experience offers your child an early opportunity to learn and socialize with children their own age.
During the first week of camp, lots of fun was had as the children and counselors got to know each other. “Sun and Surf” was our first week theme. The children really enjoyed decorating their bucket and shovel memo pads during Arts and Crafts. Along with this activity, the Polar Bears and Penguins enthusiastically participated in Nature, Gymnastics, Dance, Tennis and Soccer. We are looking forward to the next seven weeks of fun-filled activities.
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

The Ford Rotunda was originally built as an exhibit building for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. After the close of the Fair, the building was taken apart and shipped to Dearborn, and reassembled on Rotunda Drive, across from the Central Office Building (the "World Headquarters" for that time period). During the year, the Company would have various automotive exhibits for the public and local school children. Tragically, while making roof repairs on Friday, November 9th, 1962, the hot tar roof ignited, and before the fire department could arrive, the building was pretty much destroyed. A sad day in Ford history, and a loss to the children and families who visited regularly.

Kai Tai Lagoon Nature Park, Port Townsend, WA
www.wnps.org/olympic/projects/kahTaiPrairie/index.html
The Kah Tai Preserve was created in 1987. It was recognized as unique botanical site in 1986. Over 90 different species were identified, 27 represent prairie indicator species.
The Kah Tai Valley, between the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Port Townsend Bay once consisted of open prairies and estuaries. Development quickly transformed this landscape; however, due to benign neglect of a small area within Port Townsend Golf Course, a colorful relic of the last ice age still remains.
From the words of a native son of Port Townsend pioneers, James McCurdy, the valley once was a botanical delight. "Myriads of wild flowers transformed the valley floor into a many-hued carpet." The remnant 1.4 acre prairie has been the focus of preservation and restoration by Olympic Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society.
Regular work parties have focused on stabilizing prairie plant communities and diligently battling the ever-present weeds. Although the native rose and snowberry shrubs are thriving at the prairie the goal is to promote herbaceous prairie species.

HISTORY
When George Vancouver( 1757-1798) arrived in 1792, the area around today's Port Townsend was occupied primarily by members of the Klallam (or S'Klallam) Tribe, who called the spot Kah Tai, meaning “to carry” or “to pass through.” The words were then used to refer to the valley that exists between North Beach and the boat haven. It was through this valley that natives would portage their canoes from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Port Townsend Bay so they could avoid the currents and rip tides, which exist off Point Wilson.
The lagoon at the end of the portage was a hunting ground as well as the site of an Indian encampment. Kah Tai came to refer not only to the portage, but also to the settlement and bay at the end of the valley.
The tribe wintered in large communal cedar pole-and-plank homes along the shoreline, moving off in smaller family groups during warmer months to fish, hunt, forage, and trade.
When Captain George Vancouver arrived at Kah Tai in 1792, Kah Tai Lagoon was a saltwater marsh that was flushed by the tides. Vancouver and his crew observed four tall poles near the lagoon. The Indians apparently made nets of nettles, which they slung between the poles, and flocks of ducks would become entangled in the nets as they flew low into the marshland. Vancouver named the area Port Townsend in honor of the Marquis of Townshend, a famed English commander. When the first white settlers arrived in 1851, they adopted the name Port Townsend and changed the name Kah Tai Valley to Happy Valley. Only the lagoon at the end of the valley retained the name Kah Tai.
When the boom of 1889 hit the area, the small body of water became an obstacle to development. Two trestle bridges were constructed, one connecting Lawrence Street with the western suburbs and the other an extension of San Juan Avenue. By 1907 the trestle bridges across the “swamp” had deteriorated to the point of being dangerous. The Leader reported that many drivers would go around the lagoon rather than risk their teams across the rickety structure. During this era the City Council had ordained that all rubbish was to be dumped from the midpoint of the Lawrence Street Bridge, which was said to have caused a “pile of rubbish big enough to build a courthouse of.” Councilmembers were warned that herds of rats “as big as good-sized dogs” prospered there, causing a threat to the public safety. A short time later the trestles had to be closed to public traffic due to unsafe conditions.
By 1930 Sims Way was constructed, providing a new access across the lagoon. In 1933 the Chamber of Commerce made a proposal to the Department of Game to declare Kah Tai a Federal Game Reserve. However, the proposal was turned down since 300 acres was the minimum acreage for a reserve and only 160 acres were available around the lagoon.
In 1935 the Chamber of Commerce asked the American Legion and VFW for assistance in cleaning up the lagoon and pulling up the old trestle pilings which marred the view. It was hoped that this volunteer beautification effort would transform the smelly snag-infested area into a place of beauty. Unfortunately the local civic groups did not have the resources to proceed very far toward that goal.
In 1938 the WPA revitalized the beautification plan by providing 15 men and $9,000 in federal money. The project included the removal of hundreds of old snags and pilings, the construction of a water control system, the draining of stagnant saltwater from the swamp and the turning of fresh water into the area by tapping a city reservoir overflow that ran nearby. Check gates were built under Sims Way which prevented backing in of salt water and tended to keep the pond at a constant level.
Wild rice was planted in an effort to make the lagoon more attractive to waterfowl. It worked. By the end of 1938 the bird population had risen from about 350 to 800. The State Department of Game recommended again that a Game Reserve be established at the site to provide sanctuary for the numerous shoveler, pintail, mallard, widgeon, teal, scaup, and bufflehead which were found there.
In 1939, 5,000 Montana black-spot trout were placed in the lagoon for the purpose of catching mosquitoes. In August of that year, only kids were permitted to fish. The kids didn’t have much luck and the reason is a matter of speculation. Perhaps the trout could not survive in the brackish waters of the lagoon or maybe the burgeoning duck population had gobbled up most of the young fish.
Due to the brackish character of the water, plant food species for waterfowl were slow to establish and the birds were getting hungry. Contributions by local citizens provided enough supplementary duck food so that by 1940 the duck population had exploded to an estimated 4,500 birds. The ravenous birds became a nuisance as they began to invade local farms and gardens in search of food. People who grew crops in the area were given permission to shoot the ducks on sight. Despite its sanctuary status, Kah Tai Lagoon once again became a popular hunting ground until the duck population had dwindled and the city firearm ordinances were passed.

Kerala orders probe into religious conversion
By Indo Asian News Service | IANS – Sun 21 Dec, 2014
Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 21 (IANS) A report about 35 people getting converted to Hinduism Sunday would be probed by a senior police official, Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said.
The conversion reportedly took place Sunday morning in Alappuzha and Kollam districts.
In Alappuzha, members of eight Christian families - a total of 30 people - reportedly embraced Hinduism at a temple function organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).
In Kollam, there were five people who reportedly became Hindus.
Additional Director General of Police A. Hemachandran has been asked to probe the matter and submit a report, Chennithala told reporters here Sunday.
"He will look into whether any law was violated," he said.
The VHP, meanwhile, said all those who became Hindus Sunday decided to convert on their own, and all the organisation did was to prepare the stage for it.
Reports said another 300 people in Alappuzha have expressed their desire to embrace Hinduism, and the conversion ceremony was likely to take place on Christmas day.
Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah, who was in the state Saturday, said his party was against forced religious conversion.
Communist Party of India-Marxist state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan, who is currently in Delhi to take part in the politburo meeting, alleged that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was behind Sunday's conversions.
In Kerala, Hindus comprise more than 50 percent of the 32 million population, followed by Muslims with 24 percent while Christians occupy the third place with 22 percent.

innisfreegarden.org/garden.html
We arrived at Innisfree as soon as it opened at 10AM one mid-August morning when the entire Northeastern US was in the middle of a record heatwave. Despite the heat and humidity, we were able to make a quick 1.5 mile circle on the path around the deep glacial lake at the heart of this 150 acre garden before we wilted and had to return to our air conditioned car. The harsh mid-day light made photography challenging, as you can see. We learned that Innisfree, said by some to be one of the world's Ten Great Gardens, opens at sunrise on three occasions each year, and we are already planning another trip to the Hudson River Valley in the future when we hope we can see and photograph this amazing place under better conditions.
"Like the pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China, Innisfree helps us to define what we mean by ‘civilization’. It’s one of the few places in this world that lived up to — nay, exceeded — my expectations."
David Wheeler, Editor, Hortus (2013)
"In the late 1920s, Walter Beck and his wife, avid gardener and heiress Marion Burt Beck, began work on Innisfree, their country residence in Millbrook, New York. Walter Beck’s fascination with Asian art influenced his painting, the collecting he and his wife pursued, and their ideas on garden design. In the 1930s, Beck discovered the work of 8th-century Chinese poet, painter and garden maker Wang Wei. Studying scroll paintings of his famed garden, the Wangchuan Villa, Beck observed that Wang created carefully defined, inwardly focused gardens and garden vignettes within a larger, naturalistic landscape. Wang’s place-making technique — christened “cup gardens,” by Beck — influenced centuries of Chinese and Japanese garden design. It is also the principal design motif in the Innisfree landscape. Like his Chinese predecessor, Beck created three-dimensional pictures in the garden, incorporating both rocks from the site and horticultural advice from his wife. Unlike Wang Wei, or perhaps more familiar figures like Lawrence Johnston, who used his cup-like rooms at Hidcote in England to draw one through a sequence of events and create an overall sense of place, Beck focused more on individual compositions. Relating these to each other and to the landscape as a whole was the genius of Lester Collins."
The genius of this place lies not so much in the ideas which the designers formulated for the cup gardens, many of which are disarmingly simple, but in the way they have been maintained over the years. Essentially, everything is allowed to settle into the prevailing spirit of the place; if it does not, it is removed. It is this sensitivity, care and attention to the qualities of landscape, natural and made, that make Innisfree such a memorable success.
Tim Richardson, Great Gardens of America (2000)
Western gardens are usually designed to embrace a view of the whole. Little is hidden. The garden, like a stage set, is there in its entirety, its overall design revealed in a glance. The traditional Chinese garden is usually designed so that a view of the whole is impossible. [It] requires a stroll over serpentine, seemingly aimless arteries. The observer walks into a series of episodes, like Alice through the looking glass." .

Visitors to the Current show at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, Hyde Park were directed by the Chapman Brothers with this message.
GET RID OF MEANING. YOUR MIND IS A NIGHTMARE.
Easier said than done when it comes to this art by the Chapman Brothers which features the familiar mutilated bodies and scenes of horrific torture and gruesome ritualised decapitations that do not necessarily contrive to horrify, as this sentence would appear to suggest.
The Chapman brothers are inclined to provide enough comforting context. We Monks were after all invited to enter a brand new swanky art gallery and no art lover as far as we are aware has thus far been harmed or traumatised by a Chapman image.
We entered cautiously and discovered the familiar grim images, scary in a "ghost train" kind of way. The Chapman Klansmen are comedy Klansmen with rainbow socks and comedy smiley faces. The Chapman crucified martyrs are nothing more than harmless corporate Ronald MacDonald effigies, and so very many of them as in the real world.
I found myself failing to "get rid of meaning" by comparing the Chapman Brothers to Richard Dadd, whose "Fairy Feller's" is arguably more horrific, given Dadd's state of mind, but far less horrifically explicit than the Chapman Brothers.
As far as we know the Chapman Brothers are not actually psychotic. They are more inclined to toy with the visitors most visitors go along with the toying. I could not fail to notice two American ladies failing to "get rid of the meaning" They provided me with an in-depth commentary on each particular scene of horror and mutilation as if Ronald MacDonald were a real person and these were scenes from a soap opera, a warped Nazi soap opera.
The miniature horror model show might also appeal to the model makers within all of us boys, seeking the same thrill you might get when you view an architect's model of a new airport or a shopping centre complete with little trees to provide context and scale.
For this reason I did wonder why The Chapman Brothers had not provided a model Hornby Nazi train-set to circulate about the corpses. Yes, I do believe that there is a train spotting model maker and dark grim humour within us all.
We Monks saw "Hell", the earlier Chapman Brothers work which featured similar miniature grotesque models in glass cases. These works which took years of endeavour to construct were destroyed in the cataclysmic MOMART fire in the 2004. They have now been recreated and re-imagined somewhat in the same spirit.
I discussed this with a young "curator" in the gallery. I discovered that the new Serpentine Sackler Gallery was in fact an 1805 listed building and formerly a depositary for gunpowder and such. I again found myself failing to "get rid of the meaning", so I changed the subject and I told her that I was a little scared to go into the central section behind the black curtain, from where I could hear the sounds of horror. She said that I should not be scared and that all would be well if I were to enter..
Beyond the black curtain masked members of the KKK were sitting amongst the visitors watching a Chapman movie. There I observed Mrs Monk sitting next to a KKK pointy hat both of them watching the horror movie as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
There was a Chapmanesque resonance in the movie but no fearful reaction from the visitors. Just the occasional knowing laugh.

Lori Deiter and I planned to hike the Falls Trail on Feb 1st... It was decided to hike in from Rte 118 up to Onondaga Falls on Glen Leigh. Mark Van Scyoc and his friend, Doug Reese met us in the parking lot and we hiked up together to B. Reynolds and they left to hike up to the base of Ganoga Falls. My favorite / highlight of the day was the ice leading up to and around Ozone Falls - awesome.
There are sign-in sheets (Rte 118 and Lake Jean - so they know who and how many are on the trail in case of an accident) to fill out.. And you should have these items to safely hike the Falls Trail during Winter: Crampons, Ice Axe and Rope (~ 30ft). At the very minimum, Trekking Poles and Micro Spikes / Ice Cleats for your hiking boots. Trying to hike in sneakers is NOT advisable!

Why it works.
Steam in the top, compressed air out of the bottom. Dual action piston on top cycles automatically with a "Shortend Stroke" valve (that's the small rod in the center) to drive the main rod that compresses atmospheric air, intake from a filter, to a pressure vessel (tank) to maintain the brake line pressure. If the line is dumped, or slowly released, springs on each car in the train no longer hold the brakes away from the wheels, which apply the brakes until line pressure is restored, releasing the brakes by overcoming the springs. Each brake shoe is balanced in equilibrium with all the others, applying exactly the same dynamic pressure evenly along the entire train. There are many ways to compress air, this is the most common on steam locomotives.
Identical pumps can also be used to compress feed water into the boiler, so often there will be two compressors on the fireman's side of the engine. One to maintain the boiler water level and one to maintain the brake system air pressure.
Why not just use steam pressure? Steam pressure changes depending on the load of the locomotive and this isolates that variability. But more importantly, steam condenses into water when cooled, taking up less volume -decreasing the pressure - applying the brakes, and worse is the maintenance nightmare of water rusting the interior of the brake system parts. The moisture in the air, when compressed, precipitates out and is caught in the first pressure storage tank, which is why one finds a drain valve at the bottom of it.
