Now here we are in Ayrshire Scotland on holiday and down on the shore looking
up at Culzean Castle which is 18th century, it is magnificent inside and you
can take a tour round most of the castle, I have been inside on a tour and
you will never forget it. General Eisenhower first visited the catle in 1946
and stayed there four times, including once as the President of the United
States, in one of the rooms in the bottom section of the circular tower, you
can now even stay in what they call the Eisenhower Suite. Since 1987, an illustration
of the castle has featured on the reverse side of five pound notes issued
by the Royal Bank of Scotland. Below the castle on the shore you can see caves
which could have been used by smugglers, The pipes that are coming down are
waste pipes which go out to the sea, but now it is fully modernised.
On the back of the postcard was written:
To Miss E McCord, Ballyquillan, Aldergrove, Co. Antrim,
N.Ireland.
Dear Ena, Having a
good time, weather has been lovely. Will see you on Monday Love Mollie.
