New Lanark.
“The three lower rooms will be open for the use of the adult population to enable them to read and write, to account, to sew or play, to converse or walk about.
Two evenings in the week will be appropriated to dancing and music and every accommodation will be prepared for those who prefer to study or to follow any of the occupations pursued on the other evenings.”
Robert Owen.

The Nelson Monument on Calton Hill.
The Motorhomers were discussing Lord Nelson. Francie posed a question;
‘Josie, Josie, is it true that the great man wore an eye-patch?’ he asked.
‘Aw, Francie, here ye go again, dippin’ yer tiny brain cells intae my vast pool of educationalistic goldfish. Of course he did, Francie, that’s whit made him great. It allowed him tae keep his eye on the ball. In fact, I heard jist the other day, that the heid coach o’ the Heart of Midlothian fitba’ team wis makin’ his players wear them. He said that they play good fitba’ in patches, dae ye know whit I mean, Francie?’ asked Josie.
‘Aye, Josie, sure, Josie, that’s a good yin, Josie, they play good fitba’ in patches. Pure dead brilliant, Josie,’ laughed Francie.
