The above 3 images were from our arrival day in the Strathendrick area, Sept 14. We were greeted by President Bill Stoddart and his fellow Rotarian, who took us for a wonderful lunch at Duck Bay Marina. It was a warm day, and even the sun peeked out for a moment!
September 16, 2008Tonight our team was hosted by Sarah and my host family, Bob & Fiona, for a lovely dinner at their home. On top of enjoying a lovely meal, we were entertained by our new friend Bob, who played his pipes for us. Even Wayne had an opportunity to try the pipes.

Today was our travel day to the Prestwick area. We were picked up by Michael Litton and Matt Train, from the Prestwick Club. They took us on a lovely tour of the promenade of the coastal towns, while Ryan had his vocational day. We toured the Larks pencil and enjoyed a coffee in the harbor.

Today Wayne visited the Glasgow Herald and Sarah enjoyed a few hours at an educational institution. The rest of us enjoyed a cultural day touring the Culzean Castle, Kirkland Cemetery and a quick 3km walk through Peden’s Cove, where we discovered beautiful red sandstone steps. We rewarded ourselves with a pint of the local brew at the Failford Inn, which is a popular local pub. Our evening was wrapped up with dinner and a presentation at the Club. Jim Copeland was also present to accept a donation from the Prestwick Club for the Wheel Chair Foundation.
Friday will be a day trip to the island of Arran, where we will enjoy touring the “mini Scotland” and visiting with the Rotarians of Arran.
Until next time,
