[email protected] Dear Duncan, Thank you for your lovely postcard. I really liked the picture on it, but your granny didn’t. She doesn’t like monsters! How funny! I visited Loch Ness when I was your age. I went with my dad – your great-grandfather! We looked for Nessie, too. We went on a boat around the lake with a fisherman, but nothing happened. We noticed something moving in the water far away. We went closer, but there wasn’t anything. We laughed – perhaps it was a big fish. Yes, we had a great time at the weekend. We visited your mum and dad on Sunday – they miss you a lot! We watched TV and had lunch in the garden. We talked about you all the time. See you next Friday! Love, Granddad Gerry

THREE GREAT PLACES IN SCOTLAND Edinburgh: Come and visit this great city. There are many green parks to have picnics in and a fantastic castle to visit. Come in August for the International Festival of Music, Dance and Theatre. The streets in the city centre are filled with performers, colours and music. Every day for three weeks, there are shows and plays for everyone. Glasgow: Bigger than any other city in Scotland, this is the place to spend your holiday. Edinburgh is perhaps prettier, but
there are so many things you can do here: visit the Botanic Gardens or the museums and galleries. The first football museum in the world is here! Stirling: Stirling is a small Scottish town, but it’s got a lot of history. Visit the National Wallace Monument. Here you can see the sword that Wallace, the real Braveheart, used. On a sunny day, come to Blair Drummond Safari Park and see the wild animal reserves and shows.
1 Simon: ‘I loved the Sea Lion show! I had a great time!’ 2 Tracey: ‘I wanted to walk in the park, but it was cloudy. I went
to the sports museum instead.’ 3 Peter: ‘My family and I went there in August. My children really
liked the wildlife.’ 4 Rachel and Fred: ‘We didn’t want to spend our holiday in a big
city. We went there because we are both actors.’ 5 Joe: ‘I like quiet places so I always go somewhere else in August.
This year, I went to see a little bit of Scottish history.’
