This card was posted from Edinburgh to East
Newport, Fifeshire on 5 August 1908, with the message:
"We are having a splendid time of it here in Edinburgh.
Yesterday, we went to the Castle, Holyrood and the
Exhibition and
today we're at Portobello and Calton Hill. We are going to have a
sail across the Forth tomorrow if it keeps fine." |
