Edinburg, Scotland. July 27 'O9. To Our Friends in Dear old Tinin:
 We will try if possible to give you connected account of our wander inss, but everything seems so like a dream that we hardly know from whence We came and whither we are going.
 Believe the last letter took us up to Sunday evening which was spent Tn packing and getting ready for an early landing next morning at Glas- gov. A few of the party, by stay. Ing mp all night. had the pleasure ot seeing the scenery along the Clyde and the miles and miles of shipyardg the largest in the world
 Here at Glasgow we had our first experience with custom officers. Our party was very fortunate in having an inspector who was not very in. quisitive and to whom our word as to our not having spirits, tobacco or cigarettes was sufficient. But other inspectors were not so lenient and young man, friend of our party, had his trunk and suit case turned topsy. turyy.
 At Glasgow. our guide not having arrived for some reason or other, we were taken around the city in tally ho coaches. What impressed us most here were the little stone houses, each and every one having it's small yard of well kept lawn and flower beds.
 After an hours ride through the most beautiful scenery we arrived at Edinburg in lime for lunch to which we did full justice, for the salt air had given us abnormal appetites. An. other thing We acquired on our ocean voyage was sea legs. for several days after landing everything went swim. ming in more ways than one.
 We have guide for only one day at each place, which is the best pos. sible arrangement, for it allows us to wander about at will. With the guide We visit the liens of the city, which in Edinburg are the Castle, Holyrood Palace and Parliament House.
 Castle Rock is and always has been the most prominent and distinctive feature of the city. The guide tells Us that in the musty ages the rude aboriginal races of Caledonia cluster. ed their sheltering huts under the shadow of the great rock. Centuries passed and the Edinburg of the fu- ture was still but sprawling village covering fer protection at the base of the giant rock with it's fortress crown.
 Much legend and romance is con- nected with the place but nothing def mite is recorded until the capture ,of the fortress by Edwin, King of Northumblia, in 626 Not until the llth century, by which time the Scot tish kings had established their pal aces on the rock, does the history of the town and kingdom emerge from the mists. Malcome had his palace and Margaret her chapel on the rock, but 1t was not until 50 years later that David built large additions.
 From the summit of this hoary old rock the view of the city is superb. On the plateau of the Kings Bas- ticn is the well known Mons Meg, great cannon which served it's pur. pose well until 1882 when fired in honor of the visit of the Duke of York, it burst. St Margaret's chapel, quaint old relic of the past, stanns behind the gun. This little chapel is a memorial of the pious St Margaret who was among the first to introduce Christianity to the wild, untutored race. In the Half Moon battery on the east side Is Edinburgs time gun which bcpms across the city at 1 o'clock each day, sending the fumbling
