My name is Mark Faber. Names have interesting characteristics. Here is something about my name from a friend in Frisia, Holland. In the Napoleaonten time everyone was pressed to take a family name and not son of or doughtere of like Megawati Sukarnopuri. -inga is the frisian extansion meaning son of but son of a port is not possible. (Gerben, geer-bern, means spear-bear) In Amerika the name is written Portinga also for a correct Inglish pronounciation. It is of the Faberssite of course. Your Frisian name should be marten or maarten, a worrior name. A good frend of me, physiotherapeut in Dokkum, is named Martin Faber also.

• Please enjoy with us our first full vacation day in Scotland. Day In Sterling - June 17
• These are pictures of our second day in Scotland. We visited Glamis Castle, Dunnottar Castle and Stonehaven - June 18 . It would be great if you would sign my guest book!
• We visited Blair Castle, The Queens View, and enjoyed a cold one in the oldest Inn in Scotland - Kenmore. We ended the third day at a Ceilidhs in Weems. please enjoy the third day at Blair Castle and the rest of the day.
• Because of a driving rain we decided to visit Dewars Distillery on day four and after that I went golfing, Kathy walked around the town of Aberfeldy. Please join us on the fourth day at Dewars Distillery in the morning and me to play golf at Taymouth Castle in the afternoon.
• Kathy said we were too close to St. Andrews to not make a visit. So on our fifth day in Scotland we headed for the spiritual home of golf -- St. Andrews. Edinburgh was our afternoon stop. What a great city!
• On the sixth day we went to the Birks of Aberfeldy. After a good walk to the Falls of Moness, we drove to Crieff, Kenmore and Aberfeldy in the afternoon.
• Kathy was looking forward to our visit to Paisley -- her grandmother was born there. So on our seventh day we left our home in Aberfeldy for Paisley. We spent the afternoon walking around, doing research on Kathy's family, and discovered her grandmothers church was still active in the town.
• Day eight was our last full day in Scotland. We went to church in which Kathy's grandmother attended as a child. The Methodist Church of Scotland was built in 1908. We then drove to Loch Lomond for a boat ride in the afternoon.
