The day was wet and very gloomy. We only got three explorers:
only Amy, Iain and Robert with Ann and Sandra as helpers with
one dog.
This was a very short expedition since it was so cold and
dark. We started from the Mingarry 'avenue' where the explorers
looked at the place where the milestone was buried during
World War 2. Then we followed the old bank dyke into the wood
and crossed to see the grove of big beech trees. We came out
of the wood towards the MacMasters' croft and spent some time
looking for the site of the old spring used by the people
at Mingarry Point. The explorers looked at the new house at
Mingarry Point and John showed them where there used to be
an outhouse which might have contained a pig sty, there were
several pig sties in Mingarry, unusual for this area.
Finally we went back to the centre for a soup and the chance
to get warm and the explorers used the microscope to examine
several specimens they had brought back.
