Questionnaire started
Highland Questionnaire
I am delighted with the beginning of the questionnaire period. It will take a bit of time to accumulate feedback. Already had a response from south London! ( not quiet Highlands) so that comes out of the pot. It will take a few minutes, so sit down take 5, and help me gather some information.
Click here like the rest have and we can carry out the research. We need you and some other contacts.

Hiland Praise would like to ask you to help us with a questionnaire covering Church, Fellowship Faith building and Worship.
I am trying to ascertain the level of isolation and see what can be done
to help those in geographically isolated places in the Highlands of
Scotland. Some research was carried out some 10 years ago and I
thought it time we sought to find out what it is like now in the
Highlands.
You responses are private and used in an acumulative manner. If you provide your e mail address we will keep it safe and use it only as agreed. We will not share the address with any other organisation. However you should know that Google is the provider of the blog and Google forms where the questionnaire is centered and will have access to the details.

530 years ago to the day!!!!
Yes 11 June 1488 there was a battle...
On Saturday I was walking at the Bannock- burn and I came a cross a plague that I must have seen before.
Near the Burn at Milton this signage talks of the murder of James the III of Scotland on the 11 June 1488 at or after the Battle of Sauchieburn. The battle was about two miles south of Stirling and about a mile south of the previously favoured site of the Battle of Bannockburn ( 1314).
Map of uk battlefields
This Battle of Suachieburn was the down fall of the king. We are not sure about his death, some say on the field of battle some say he was murdered at Milton taking refuge and asked to speak with a priest and a noble man claiming to be a priest entered the house and killed him.
So on Saturday we pass the signage mentioning the possible murder in the area.
Now the reason for my walk was to go back to the Bannockburn where some 40 plus years ago some local Christians baptised me in the burn after it had been dammed up a bit to give a dearth of water fit enough for a full immersion. The burn at Milton was far more over grown at the ford than I had remembered. The ford was a major crossing those many years ago. The crossing was where the English army came across at the Battle of Bannockburn and met the Scottish army a few miles north, at either Whins of Milton where the Tourst site is or at the carse which is nearer the Forth river and down from the woods behind the now Bannockburn High School.
This hot Saturday I was able to rekindle several memories from my youth.

Dallas Willard Spiritual Renewal Conference 2008 Bethel University
If you have a I pad or tablet and can get to I tunes U (Open University) (brown Icon) and once in type the heading in this blog you should get the podcasts to watch. Willard died a few years ago. He is not greatly known in Scotland. I know Pitlochry Baptist Church have used some of his material.
Enjoy the listen and search for more of his stuff. Refreshing, not stuffy, and bear with the Americanisms.
Found a hyper link . Dallas Willard Bethel University
Dallas Willard Wikipedia
Here are two good books by him.

Help with a questionnaire
In a few days I hope to provide the link to a questionnaire where I am looking for feedback from those particularly living in the Highlands of Scotland. I am seeking information about faith, worship and communion with Christians in their area.
It will only take a few minutes and I am looking for as many responses as possible. So if you could pass on the link to those in the Highlands...that would be great.
Please come back to get the google link.
