Dear Motherz- ' . llave just returned from our trip i.o Bonnie Scotland- _the land oi the heather. the hill, and the glen. You will understand why almost all the boys hooked' for Scotland when I tell you that this furlough meant free transportation. We left Lydd Station ton the south coast of England) at 8.30 0. nt.. Tuesday the sixth. Our party consisting of Grs. G. Scott. li. Currie. A. Mclnnls, E. ll. Hayden and myself went. farther north than most of the sight seeing party, the indices of our tickets pointing to Aberdeen. Arriving at (‘haring Cross Station. London about noon we were advised by the t-illcials of the Great Northern Railway to await the 7 oclocld express direct to Aberdeen. So we deci8l points on the main line bc-7 tween Aberdeen and Edinburgh are; MUUUOSQ and ‘Dundee both familiar names in Scottish history. The latter. you remember is connected with Gra- ham of Cloverhouse commonly called Bonnie Dundee who lost his lite at Killic Crankle in the Stuart Prented- er’s cause. Though we originally in. tended to spend n day ut Dundee time' did not permit. so we proceeded to Edin-burgh. ' On our way down we passed over two oi the fines; bridges in the world, one over the Firth of 'Fay or 'I‘uy Bfidi-Ze about three miles long, ihn Other. the Forth Cantilever- Bridge which carries the North Iiritlsh lloli-' way across t he Quecnferry Narrows. The latter is cc-inmonly allowed to be the finest specimetrof engineering skill and genius 'in bridge work the world has ever known. This great C011->_il‘uCilon cost tlirce and one hall million pounds sterling. It is rough- ly one and n halt’ miles long and the summits of t he piers rise three hund- red and sixty feet above nigh wine,- mark. The process oi’ construction rc- quired five years and it was opened lu' King ntiwairt vu in 1s90. Nea. here is the great naval base of Rosy- ihe. When passing we noticed a few destroyers but a heavy mist conceal- ed almost everything of interest. l’ro- ceeding in a few minutes we arrived at \Vaveriey station, Edinburglrs lin- est station. The name' “\Va\'crle_v" was familiar tc- most of us or to those ot' us \vho had read Sir Walter Scott’s series of novels. I presume the name is just one of the manv' iok- ens of esteem to the mcmc-f'_v of* Scot- laud`s greatest writer.
