I feel that I am fortunate by far compared to someone in the more populous towns or cities our realm. When I gaze from my front window I look at one of the most admired natural and sought after scenes world wide.

We all know how attractive sandy beaches are sought after by hoards who love sunshine holidays in every corner of the world.

Well, so many meters from my living room window is situated a delightful sandy beach; although not a crowd puller of numerous tourists, purely due to its inconspicuous dimensions that arouses only a somewhat passing interest. For me though, an immense alluring sense of apprecation prevails.

This rather small entity, really better described as being a cove, when I consider it in perspective and it's special uplifting qualities, I gain satisfaction hardly possible from larger scapes.

The great attraction provided in any seashore situatation is, we shall say at present, is the sea. Did any admirer realize what a calming effect it has on the spirit with its gentle murmerings on a sun drenched day in the summer. The rocks in their shades and colours and the shapes that are so difficult for an artist to catch and reproduce gives also a definate sense of unending cohesion. All in all this could be one of the last remaining entities for us all to joy in.

I'm sure that there is much happening in Tiree worthy of being blogged never mind Britain or the World at large. I'll go in another direction this time and direct your attention towards a different realm.

1945 saw an end to World War 11. I really missed out on this conflict and only gained knowledge as many stories were still being circulated well into the 50ths.

Anyway,in 1957, the year before I left school, as you will understand, I had a rather limited understanding of the universe except for the age old satellite, the moon. Its phases and powers are well known to all islanders.

However, to bring my reason for this blog into direct focus 1957 was a tremendously all time news shatteing year, all ideas of space being beyond exploration suddnly ended. In advance of all the other large nations of the earth, Russia dashed the idea that we were earth bound indefinately if not for always.

On the14th of October the Soviet Union proved quite capable of grasping a challange to leave earths pull and send and object into space to circle the earth. This was an awsome advance that has continued to be developed by others till now.

The "Sputnick" as the object I refer to was called, became a universal and a household name considered with amazeant and wonder.

Mankind has now made many journeys to the realms in space and the universe, and we now wait in wonder as new missions prepare for the outward bound journey.

Be that as it may, Is it not peculiar that a nation deemed as being rather one of oppresion had made the progressive and remarkable step of the age.

We often dream of riches but it is few who go beyond what is considered average persons salary.

If you asked me, "who is the present richest person in the world," I wouldn't be abe able to give an answer. I know, though, that quite a number exist. The excessively rich have left their mark on the world down through the ages.

I belive that it was in school that I came to get to know about the scotsman who made an enormous fortune over a hundred years ago or less, to the extent that his name is still synonymous with wealth. This remarkable son of a little manufacturing town called Dunfermiline was the extraordinary Andrew Carneige. A man of immense foresight.

Scotland was not the ideal place in 1848 for anyone who had any ambitions to succeed. The Carneige family left home for America an idustrial developing country with a future. The young lad progressed in this domain of financial promise.Of course, he laboured with a will and made his endevours exceedingly profitiable.

Carneigie posessed the very quality that placed him above his contempoaries. In a short period of time he amassed riches beyond the dreams of countless entrepreneurs. This gentleman had another side to this remarkable charachter, he had a belief that to amass riches, for purely this reason, was improper, compared to providing relief and requirements, as a deprived world population required them. To name some beneficries of numerous gifts and grants euducation was to the forefront, and public libaries all over the world were a special subject for contribution, revered even till this day.

Skibo castle is at the very north of Scotland, a stupendously entralling structure ideal for a multi millionaire to reside untroubled by the worlds affairs,while providing the special friendship this man had for all who admired him. Yes, Andrew Carneige will always be cosidered a friend to a large section of huminaty.
