From Mom's Europe trip diary, in the "PLACES VISITED" section:
August 17 & 18 – Edinburgh
The next day [Aug. 18] went shopping – bought a sweater & two scarves* which sent to boat. Took a few pictures, lunched at Caledonian Hotel, then went to see Mrs. Bishop.** Talked to her & had tea. Lovely people and very nice to us. Took us to Sunken Gardens which were beautiful. Left Edinburg around 5:00 p.m.
August 18, 19, & 20 – Road between Bridge of Allan and Larne, Ulster [2 pages]
[Aug. 18] Drove to Bridge of Allan where we stayed for night at Walmer Hotel. Very nice place. Did my washing.
