Drill stands are like a drill press for your hand drill. We carry FAMAG, BDS, and DUSS stands. Very useful for when you need precision, but are short on space.

Interesting differences in pronunciation between Britain and America, even with brand names. For example: Peugeot US is “Pew-SHOW” UK is “PUH-show” Adidas US is “Uh-DEE-duss” UK is “AH-dee-dahs” And, not a brand name, but still an interesting difference: Controversy US is “CON-troh-ver-see” UK is “cahn-TRUH-ver-zee” We have certainly mangled the English language we came across the ocean with. We drove this morning up to Loch Lomond. The whole way, I couldn’t get the song out of my head: “You take the high road and I’ll take the low road, and I’ll get to Scotland before you. For me and my true love will never meet again, on the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomond.” This song was created by an anonymous hand, but I seem to recall a story of how it was written about a young man in prison aboard a ship in London who was saying to a friend that he himself had taken the low road (crime) and would die in prison so would never get back to his true love. How very sad. Loch Lomond is 25 miles long with its width varying from 500 yards to 5 miles. It has thirty islands, wooded islets, and mountains rising steeply from the narrow neck of water at its northern shores. I actually saw the city of Arden on the map, so now I don’t feel so bad about the address of our apartments in Arden, North Carolina. I had wanted the address to be in Asheville, but now that Arden is a Scottish name, I am fine with it. We went to Luss then retraced our steps and went to visit Dumbarton Castle. This was the Rock that I had been trying to get a picture of from across the water. Today we saw it up close. First order of business was to buy a Historic Scotland membership & get our booklet stamped. Dumbarton Rock is about 335 million years old. It originated as a plug of cooled lava blocking a volcano. The castle was a defensive stronghold throughout the Middle Ages and stands 74 meters above the mud flats below. Dumbarton Rock was first mentioned in about 450 AD when St. Patrick wrote from Ireland to the ruler of Alt Clut to reprimand him for carrying off some of his new converts and selling them into slavery to the Picts. The castle was captured by the Vikings in 870. The Wallace Tower was built in the 1400s and the Portcullis Arch in the late 14th century. Some fierce-looking weaponry hanging on the walls here including some handguns used by the Jacobites at Culloden. Mary Queen of Scots stayed here 6 months before she sailed to France in 1548. The Germans bombed the castle in 1941. It was so interesting to walk up and down the stone stairways and look out at the gorgeous views. We returned to our home and we next door to tour the Holmwood House. We bought membership in NTS first. No pictures allowed inside, sadly. This house was built in 1857 by Alexander “Greek” Thomson to look like a Grecian temple. The guide, Denise, showed us some of the restorations on the doors and other features. When the National Trust first came in to look over the property, they saw the painted white walls and thought they would just set it up as a walk through of a Victorian home. That was until one of the nuns who lived here and ran the school mentioned that there was a piece of the wallpaper that was missing in a hallway and that the original wall decorations could be seen. The Trust bought the house and has uncovered many of these beautiful features. The nuns had covered the Homer’s Iliad illustrations along the top of the walls with wallpaper, but had done it so that it could be removed later. They used this room as their altar and were probably offended by the nudes in the illustrations. The guide explained that Mr. Couper, the original owner and a paper mill owner, used the dining room for meetings and served 7 course meals here. The food was brought in and put on the “altar” (as this was truly set up as a Greek Temple) as an offering for the gods. The thought was that if they wanted to eat it, they could become human and do so. If not, the food was free for the guests to partake. There were only 4 bedrooms in this big house. We toured the kitchen, 3 of the bedrooms, the dining room, and the sunny parlour with its lovely large windows. The guide showed us how easy it was to let air into the room by means of the easy-open sash. You could open them at the bottom and at the top as the windows recessed into the bottom area. The restoration is ongoing and I would love to return at a later date to see what have been done. We have these gorgeous trees outside and one of them has a trunk that branches off into about 8 different trunks just as it comes out of the ground. One of these makes a sharp left and in effect creates a seat. I forgot to mention that the night before last, I was up past midnight and happened to look outside as I was pulling the drapes closed in the bedroom. THE SKY WAS STILL LIGHT!! And it was an eerie purplish color. And sitting in the crook of the lowest trunk of the tree appeared to be a person, a male person, older with not much hair. Well…….today we were touring the house and in the parlour was a bust of Alexander Thomson that looked EXACTLY like the “person” I saw sitting in the tree! Gave me the funniest feeling when I saw him. Pictures from top: Two pictures from Dumbarton Castle; picture I wish I could have taken but was probably taken from a helicopter; fierce weaponry at Dumbarton Castle; Holmwood House parlour from the outside.
