Connections between Continents!
Celia has been travelling and researching in Australia and New Zealand. Here are some of the interesting connections she has discovered between Scotland and places in the Antipodes.
Dunedin (New Edinburgh)
This is the memorial to Thomas Burns who was the nephew of Scotland's famous poet Robert Burns. After joining the Free Church and sailing with his family from Scotland in 1847, he was one of the founding fathers of the first Free Church in Otago and also helped found the University.
Spot the difference!
These stone walls in the Otago goldfields could easily be mistaken for Caithness in the north of Scotland.
