Armchair Traveler
Dunoon (Scotland, UK)
One of the hidden treasures of Scotland’s western coast is Argyll and Bute. This week, we take a look at Dunoon, the main town of the area’s Cowal Peninsula.
Your first stop should be the Castle House Museum, which has wonderful and informative displays of the area’s history. From here, it’s a short walk to Dunoon Castle, which gives you a great view of the town and surrounding mountains. The castle fell into ruin hundreds of years ago and it’s a bit of a climb up the hill – but it’s well worth it.
Next, walk along the town’s Victorian-style pier. This pier is unique because it’s made almost entirely from timber.
Dunoon has some wonderful day trips. A few minutes north of Dunoon is one of the best wee walks in the country. Puck’s Glen is like a scene from an 18th-century novel set in the countryside, where the characters take constitutionals beside a running stream. You’ll come across gorgeous waterfalls and if you squint just right you might even see Puck, the fairy from Shakespeare’s play.
(Puck 【英国伝説】 パック《特に, 16-17 世紀に英国の山野に出没したいたずらな妖精; Robin Goodfellow ともいう; cf. Shak., Mids N D》.
A little further from Puck’s Glen is Benmore Botanic Garden. This large mountainside garden features a marvelous entrance – an avenue lined by 150-year-old redwoods.
Finally, if you come in August you’ll be treated to a highlight – the Cowal Highland Gathering. It’s one of the biggest highland games in Scotland. There’s plenty of stirring stuff, starting with bagpipe bands marching through the streets playing Scotland the Brave. Later, you can enjoy competitions for the pipe bands and highland dancing, as well as sports events, including the very Scottish caber toss. (T)

***** The Grain Offering *****
1 And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
( meat offering 【聖書】 (小麦粉に油をまぜた)供物《R.V. では meal offering, N.E.B. では grain offering という; cf. Num. 7: 13》.
2 And shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
(frankincense ニュウコウ(乳香) 《アフリカおよび西アジア産のカンラン科ニュウコウ属 (Boswellia) の樹, 特にニュウコウジュ (B. carterii) から採れるゴム樹脂; 古くから香料として祭式の時などにたかれた; olibanum ともいう》.
2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD:
3 And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
(oblation 1 [O-] (聖体の)奉献(式); 聖餐式 (Eucharist).
2a 献身 (sacrifice); 奉納, 寄進 (offering).
b (神への)厳粛な捧げ物, 供物(くもつ).
･the oblation of thanks.)
6 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
7 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baked in the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
10 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savor.
13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.
15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.
16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
