Sad Day

News of the shootings today in America will stir deeply painful memories here – particularly in Dunblane.  The randomness, the lack of a cause .. makes the pain unimaginable.  I never look at the Cathedral without seeing in my mind the pictures of the funerals.  The community has moved on – but there is a strong sense of the deepest pain carried nobly and in private.  If you haven’t been, visit the standing stone memorial inside the Cathedral – it is simple, dignified and life-affirming.

  1. Welcome – but what an outrageous thought. Fresh Scottish air .. porridge in the mornings .. wee tottie in the evenings .. fresh breezes up the kilt. Above all – not running a parish. Younger every day.
