church owns a home in Nairn and that is where we headed for a week. We'd "won" a week there through an auction our church had to help raise money for a team from the church going to Ethiopia. Nairn is a little town along the coast near Inverness. We actually have MTW missionaries there so it was fun to visit their church and visit with them.
We followed some of the history concerning the Covenanters and went to places like John Knox's house and the church where he preached. We especially enjoyed seeing the oldest Presbyterian church in Scotland as well as many other churches. Wandering through their graveyards and reading the markers made me so aware of "that great crowd of witnesses" waiting for us in heaven. We biked, walked, and drove...it was great. 
We also en
joyed visiting the Cawdor Castle, Fort George, the Isle of Skye and searching for Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. Actually just driving along the four Lochs (lakes) was incredibly beautiful. We had time to read about some of the martyrs during the Covenanter days and the history so tied to us as Reformed Presbyterians. We biked around 20 miles one day and that was really fun (except for a path we took that turned out to be overgrown and only for walkers).It's good to be back in London. We are thankful for the work the Lord has for us and are continuing on...
