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 ...............
