O wad some Power the gift tae gie us, to see oursels as ithers see us
Curious thing, the Web. The Blogosphere. An occasional wander around can often throw up, um, unsolicited comments all over the place. Take John Muir’s Birthplace as an example. All these are from a wee trawl recently:here and here and here. There’s another, with a pretty horrible picture of me that I don’t even remember being taken: here.
They all have their own reasons for featuring the Birthplace – tourism, work, pilgrimage – but from our point of view it’s interesting to see what folk take away, what the hits and misses are. As we’re not standing asking the posters to fill in a ‘visitor survey’, then perhaps these are our real reflections?
