Moderator Lord and Lady Wallace visit Dornoch
The weekend started with a Quiz night held in the West Church Hall, organised by our Quizmistress Trish Geddes, on Saturday we arranged some private time in the Cathedral itself before a tour of Oversteps Care Home ran by Crossreach, part of the Church of Scotland. A delicious spread of sandwiches, cakes and traybakes were put on by Stewart Petrie and his team. This followed by a tour of the Meadows Care Home and we were introduced to the fantastic interactive table that helps residents connect with the outside world. In the afternoon, the Moderator managed a round of Golf arranged by Dornoch Club Captain Willie Mackay and Lady Wallace had a tour of HistoryLinks museum. Special thanks to our curator Lynne for such a fascinating and detailed tour of the museum.
On Sunday the Moderator preached in Clyne Church, Brora.
