I know that it is not directly to do with Wigtown, but here in Australia many people celebrated the Canonisation of Mary MacKillop as a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church today. While i am an Anglican, I have been friends of and worked with Mary's sisters for 40 years. While in Scotland last year my wife and I had a few meals of Haggis, neeps and tatties and a wee dram at the Ben Nevis Hotel in Fort William. This hotel was once owned by Mary MacKillop's grandparents. Her mother lived there. My son Andrew (Drummer) and I (Piper) piped Mary's Western Australian Sisters of St Joseph along Mouat Street in Fremantle today to Notre Dame University for the telecast of the canonisation ceremony in Rome. ...David Murray
