 To: Ian of Noss  Sent: Monday, October 09, 2000 3:30 PM Subject: Many Thanks - our recent trip to Noss Dear Ian I was met by Maj Ron Sinclair, as you promised, and 
also met Mary and the Earls' son, Lord Berriedale, at Noss 
Head. We saw the video on Girnigoe with them, and enjoyed 
it thoroughly. It was most impressive to see the work that you, 
and the Clan, have instigated up there. Ron took us to the Dunbar mausoleum in Wick,which 
was very interesting, although delapidated, and he also showed us the Sinclair 
Aisle alongside. Then we had a quick look at Ackergill through the 
kind offices of Mrs Banister, and I must say the Tower is in wonderful 
condition. We had a fascinating trip up to Wick, and really 
were impressed by all that we saw, and by the kindness we received. We did not stay up in Wick for the evening as I had 
to go back to pick up a set of Stag antlers ( 9 points ) that I had stalked in 
the morning on Dunbeath Estate, and was being cleaned, and a jacket that I had left 
there. All the best for the future, and for the 
Clan. Many thanks for the kindness shown to my wife, 
Lizette, and myself. Regards Mark Anderson Cape Town |
