There is still fifteen minutes to go before the new Visitor Centre at the Church is opened but already people are sitting in the sun and waiting for proceedings to start. It is amazing how often when we have celebrated special days the sun has shone. It was a magnificent day -- possibly the best day of the year -- when Prince Charles and Camilla came to visit, and the second best was probably the occasion of Cardinal O'Brien's weekend with us. St. Kessog's Day was also a wonderful day. In fact it was only the Moderator's day that was marred by rain (and it wasn't really spoiled at all).
But on Monday the sun shone for the visit of Dr. Michael Cantlay, the Chair of VisitScotland, who came to open our Visitor Centre and to wish us well as we set out to champion the cause of Faith Tourism in Scotland. His visit was appreciated by members of the community who came to hear his words, and by those who happened to be visiting Luss at the time and who got caught up in the event -- as you do if you visit our beautiful village.
