Nothing so profound from me, but the words of GK Chesterton in relation to tourism. After another day at the battlefield of Culloden, I'm still in amazement of the variety of nationalities and the friendship shown by them all.
No cruise ships today but from 9 a.m. bus loads of tourists from Australia, Canada, Germany, Denmark, France, Bermuda, USA, Japan, Eire and of course England, Scotland and Wales!
My task is to study for the carrying out of presentations at set periods and with set programmes. To this end I'm closely studying the work done on the existing presentations by the team who've been here since the outset of the new centre some 8 years ago!
My own small contribution at this time is the "Plaid" demonstration; for this purpose I'd to enlist the help of two American guys from Florida and they were a pair of gems entering into the "Haute Couture" for Highlanders with spirit and good humour. This shows how a length of material would be made up from a single length circa 6 metres long and about 1.5 metres wide into a sort of outfit come sleeping blanket for the Highlander.
The point of this is that; all the visitors (and they run into thousands) have been a delight to volunteer for and share information to on the battle, the weapons, the kit and life in general for the Highlanders whilst being still dressed as a "Johnny Lobster" from the Government Army!
