Sommarminnen 1: Gotlandskusiner på besök

Att få äta tillsammans, många, trångt - det är väl fest!

Edvin och Ian är intresserade av husdjur.

Nej, nu räcker skjutsandet, tycker Ian.

2.6.2013 Music in Edinburgh

Bagpipes...

classical...

and these boys fascinated me by playing old music in a new - their own - way.

Or did they play new music influenced of old music??

2.6.2013 Edinburgh castle

Sir William Wallace - Braveheart - welcomes you. Maybe.

A soldier´s wife had been in winterquarter in Malplaquet, but decided to return home to Scotland. She handed her little son to his father, Private McBain, who was on parade. He fought the battle with his little son in his knapsack, having nowhere else to put him.

A mortally wounded soldier fell carrying the flag in front of the regiment at Waterloo. A sergeant tried to take it from him, but he refused to give the flag away. The sergeant took the soldier, still gripping the flag, over his shoulder. This impressed the French so much that they held fire until the two soldiers had returned from the frontline.

More peaceful:

Saint Margaret´s Chapel, the oldest building in the castle,

built by King David I (1124-53)

The fireside looks so cosy, but remindings of war were everywhere in Edinburgh Castle.

2.6.2013 By train to Aviemore

Everything was perfect when I travelled. I happened to sit next to an American science teacher! We talked and talked like old friends. About geography curriculum, schools in Finland and in the USA and then we had a glimpse of this fault line with brooms as decorations.
