Picture Post and A History Lesson
Short and sweet post today, a few pictures. Was really nice today (until it rained), went for a walk downtown.
Some random building opposite The Cross (called that as the town market cross used to stand there) (John tells me it used to be the Registry office [used for civil marriages]). 
Looking up towards East High Street. Lots of the buildings in that part date from the 1700's or before. The town was established in the 11th century, then partly burnt down by Oliver Cromwell in the 17th Century and rebuilt gradually....though in the 11th century most of the town was under water :P (they drained the loch (lake) several times since then).
Forfar also was a centre of witch hunting in Scotland, in a way that made Salem seem tame in comparison.
School being renovated, would have made a great huge house.
I did work on that lion drawing today, but not enough to really post and don't want to keep risking taking it on and off the board to scan. I would cry if it ripped.
