    1. Kilbirnie, The Auld Kirk; Report 3

    3. I would like to apologize to everyone on the Crawford List. I didn't realize we couldn't report in "enriched text" or with attachments. Therefore, if any of you would like pictures of the inside and the outside of the Kilbirnie church, please let me know. I can send the pictures in the .jpg format. I use a hand held Global Positioning Service (Satellite) (GPS) in my bay fishing. It has got me home more than once in fog or cover of night. I took it with me to Scotland. At whatever "home base" I would be touring out of, I first called up the satellites and stored my coordinates in my GPS. Several times I got lost. I stopped, brought out my trusty GPS and called up the satellites and it provided me with the distance and direction to get back to "home base". These little hand held GPS's do not cost very much and they can be very handy. The coordinates for the Auld Kirk in Kilbirnie are: N 55 degrees, 44 min., 786 sec. By W004 degrees, 41 min., 167 sec. We stayed in a great B&B 6 miles from Kilbirnie. One would probably pass by it if you were traveling from Glasgow to Kilbirnie. It's on a working farm/ranch with an outstanding view. Great food and hostess. (Not particularly in that order!) The proprietor's name is Janet Anderson and she can be reached at winnoch@aol.com. I recommend it. She can provide Lat/Long coordinates if you desire. Kindest regards, Don Crawford donc@pyramid3.net
