WITHOUT GOD Our week would be SINDAY MOURNDAY TEARSDAY WASTEDAY THIRSTDAY FIGHTDAY SHATTERDAY 7 DAYS WITHOUT GOD MAKES ONE WEAK!! FROM THE MANSE Dear Friends, Just a short note this edition of the newsletter as much of the past two weeks has either been in Fife or travelling back and forward to Fife. My Mum has just passed away after a long and courageous struggle with cancer. Thanks for all your kindness and support expressed at this time in so many ways. Your friend Stephen FROM THE EDITOR Summer is over and I am now back to reality. I trust that you had a good break and feel refreshed and looking forward to what the new session of all our organisations and groups have in store for us. It was good to see that Orders of Service, newsletters and magazines have been brought back from holiday. These will be displayed at the back of the Church once we resume worship in it. I am hoping that somebody out there who visited a church when on holiday would like to share their experience with us so as the ‘Churches Visited’ series can continue. As I’ve said before, this is your magazine and only what comes in can go out! The Winter magazine is scheduled to go out on Sunday 3rd December and all articles should reach me by Sunday 19th November. Alastair MacKinnon - Editor [email protected] KIRK SESSION REPORT I hope you had a good summer. We have not had a Session Meeting since the last edition of the church magazine so just a few updates on what was reported earlier.

Downloadable Guidebook
2019 JULY 7-13 JULY 14-20 Lowlands Highlands Guidebook Welcome to Your Scotland Adventure! We are embarking on a remarkable expedition through our spiritual heritage and—in many cases—our actual genealogical roots. History is a series of past events, great and small, orchestrated by God, in fulfilling His plans and purposes for the redemption of His people, for their good and His own glory. In our time together, we will find evidence of God’s hand at work throughout Scotland’s rich past. The expansion of Christ’s kingdom is one of the key elements of the past, present and future. As we discover the men and women that God used powerfully to give Scotland worldwide impact, we will glean great understanding and encouragement for our lives today. Defense of family, clan and nation are also central to understanding the past. Here again, no country is more instructive than Scotland in her castles, battlefields and regimental museums. Prepare to clamber over the battlements and learn of the leadership and courage that oozes from the history of these places. Our hope is that, as we tour Scotland, we would join the Psalmist in drawing holy comfort and confidence as he did when he observed God’s hand throughout his own life and nation. “Walk about Zion and go around her; Count her towers; Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation. For such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will guide us until death.” May it be so. At your service, Kevin Turley Bill Potter Colin Gunn President Historian Historian DAY 1 Edinburgh Castle Lowlands This magnificent and historic castle towers over Edinburgh and can be seen from anywhere in the city.

' r VERITY k; :^^' ARBOR I Presented to the LIBRARY of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO by JOSEPH BUIST uddrt^^ ROMANTIC ^ ^ EDINBURGH Digitized by the Internet Arciiive in 2010 witin funding from University of Toronto http://www.archive.org/details/romanticedinburgOOgedd I I ROMANTIC EDINBURGH BY JOHN GEDDIE LONDON 5ANDS & COMPANY 12 BURLEIGH STREET, STRAND, W-.Q. 1900 PRINTED BT WILLIAM HODGE AND COMPANY GLASGOW AND EDINBURGH 0CT111994 ^^^ musm OF 10^ — INTRODUCTORY The end of the old century—or the beginning of the new seems a suitable time for the preparation of a Vade Mecum which the explorer of Edinburgh can conveniently take with him on his walks, or profitably peruse by the fireside. Such a book should be as mxich historical as descriptive. For Edinburgh is not less richly endowed with memories than with beauty ; and its present can be read only in the light of its past. At no time have the builder and improver—those scene-shifters in the drama of modern town life—been busier in sweeping romance, along with stone and lime, into the dust-bin ; and every year familiar features of the streets and closes are drafted from the list of the city's sights into that of the city's memories. The opening of the new North Bridge offers a natural starting-point for the survey and retrospect ; it promises—or threatens—to bring in its train changes almost as great as those that make the construction of the first bridge across the valley between Old and New Edinburg an era in the history of " mine own romantic town." For the illustrations of the volume thanks are due to Mr.
