August 19 - 22, 1961 - Tayport, Scotland

SUNDAY AUGUST 19, 1961 - TAYPORT, SCOTLAND

Arrived back here & stayed with the Wilkies again. We had a nice dinner, lots of talk & bed.

Crail Scotland - August 20, 1961
SUNDAY AUGUST 20, 1961 - TAYPORT, SCOTLAND
On Sunday Connie and I made the dinner while the boys loafed. Later we took a run in the car & did all the harbors. Crail is lovely, a spot for artists. Also visited a remodeled 300 year old house. Very nice, but $15,000 is far too much. No reservations came for our return trip so we’ll try again in the AM.

MONDAY AUGUST 21, 1961 - GLASGOW, SCOTLAND
Drove from Tayport to see about bookings. Dundee didn’t come up with anything. Cunard lines didn’t either, so Chas. chanced a smaller line called Donaldson & we just got in on a cancellation. We sail 9/12/61, arrive on the 20th in Montreal. There will only be 48 passengers on board ship. This should prove cozy. Went back to Tayport & I must add here it poured most of the day. We’ll leave in the AM for the south again to see Trudy & George.

TUESDAY AUGUST 22, 1961 - TAYPORT, SCOTLAND & LONDON,ENGLAND
Left Tayport after breakfast & headed south on A1. Needless to add it rained most of the way. Rooms were hard to find but before leaving Scotland we drove to Edinburgh & got our mail. We hit the jackpot, 2 from Bill & 2 from Carole & 1 from Chuck & 0 from Val ($45.00 from Bill & $10.00 from Chuck to spend). We drove on until we hit London where we went to a hotel.  Called on George Price, he was out but came over later. Really a nice guy, we had some beer & lots of hot air, etc.
