Sunday the 26th OUR FIRST DAY OF GSE- we were picked up by several drivers immediately after a breakfast in the Edinburgh campus cafeteria. and drove the 30 or 40 minutes to Kinross, across the Firth of Forth Bridge. Another newer bridge is being built to replace this bridge due to aging of the suspension cables. I was able to enjoy a pleasant walk with my very excellent hosts, Malcolm and Fiona Mapp, before we all had to return to Kinross for a little luncheon meeting with the district governor Cath and other Rotarians involved in our exchange. This was followed by a photo op in the hotel courtyard.
Our afternoon trip took us to the Falkland Palace, where Mary Queen of Scotts spent a lot of time. There were beautiful gardens and (perhaps) the oldest tennis court in the world. We had a nice dinner in a different hotel with many of the host families and Rotarians involved in the exchange.
