Maggie's Tour

Today's the day ....................... to dress up

We have Tessa and Josie with us tonight on a sleep-over and we thought they might like to go with us this evening,to experience a Maggie's Tour of Kirkcudbright.

It's a sort of Town Trail but it involves quite a few locals who are dressed up to play the part of various characters in Kirkcudbright - in the year 1651.  Maggie was a little old lady and she introduced us to all the other characters as we walked through the streets of the town.  The woman shown above was a rather dubious midwife/witch.  She gave a real insight into her life - and the lack of any sort of rights or status of most females at this time.

It was all done with a great deal of humour - and a surprise round every corner which kept the sixty or so participants on the tour well entertained.  It was such a good way to learn about the history of the town - and everyone, including Tessa and Josie had a great time ...............
