I've never seen anyone so pleased to be taken to a byre..! I better explain. Bob, from Australia, came on a tour yesterday during which he mentioned that he is related to Louttits on his mother's side, who were originally from Rendall. Curious, I did a bit of digging when I got home, and to cut a long story short, discovered his family tree and where his great,great,great,great grandfather, Magnus Louttit, stayed in Rendall (Hinderayre farm)! He died in 1882. So here we are paying a visit to the ancestral home- the old house is now a byre. Bob's sister came along too, and it was a special moment for everyone. Thank you to the current home owner who showed us around.

Legend has it that a ghost piper walks along a secret tunnel between Bishop's palace and the cathedral grounds-this explains why you may have seen me cupping my ear to the road in front of a bemused looking tour group today! (thought I heard something but can't be sure..) But what a tour..lovely folk, great banter, the sun was shining, and I even got a peedie round of applause at the end!!

Rounded off a fun tour with Terry and Sue from Florida by taking them to see the Groattie Buckie hoose. My personal highlight was chatting to Terry about the civil rights era and his experiences growing up in North Carolina in the 1960s where segregation was a way of life.
