Craigmaddie Castle Ruins

November 14th, 2008

Craig Galbraith recently visited Scotland and took this photo of Craigmaddie Castle Ruins.  Per Craig, “We were recently in Scotland for a couple of weeks and approached the current owners of Craigmaddie House and Castle ruins.  We asked nicely and were escorted in the pouring rain to have a look at the ruins.”

Bill Gilbreath submitted this photo of puppies belonging to his twin daughters, Susan and Kat.  Going from lower left clockwise, they are Mollie, Kiwi, Coco, and Jasmine.  I am smitten with Kiwi.

My only question is which ones are Kat’s Dogs?

The May Red Tower is Available for Download

May 25th, 2008

The May 2008 issue of The Red Tower journal of The Clan Galbraith Association is now available for download in our website “Members Only” area.  Our Editor, “Taffy” Satter has produced another outstanding issue.

It is available in two parts.  Part 1 is all the articles and text pages, and is small enough to download with a dial-up internet connection.  Part 2 is 4 pages of photos of our our association’s 14th biennial gathering, held in Huntersville, North Carolina. Part 2 is over five megabytes and will take quite a while to download via dial-up modem.  The pictures are really great, though, and it will be worth your time to suffer the long download.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like they are having fun!
