was noted pedestrian While still
in the active discharge of his duties
as minister of ST. Giles, Edinburgh,
he made point of walking ten miles
per day and six on Sunday. and in
the course OF some years managed
to walk distance equal to that round
the world at it's widest part. This he
did twice. In 1910. after going to re-
side at Kingussie, he walked 1850
miles, a distance of that equal to
John o'Groats, from here to Lands
End and back. and then back again to
Kingussie. Two years ago he started
with the idea of walking a distance
equal to that from John O. Greats to
Lands End and back to Kingussie. He
succeeded in doing that. covering a to-
tai of 1924 miles-a remarkable feat
for a man bordering on four score.
