   That was beautiful and cool to see! Loved the handbell performance, too. I don’t know how she did that all by herself!

   The episode is correct but it’s titled “Deep Fried Haggis”, and there’s over 3 minutes of black screen at the end on the file I downloaded… it doesn’t seem to be on the YouTube video though.

   Hi Father Roderick, as a Ham Radio operator I was just wondering whether or not the morse code letters in the intro and at the end of your videos have a special meaning or not. In the intro it begins with “3 a” then “0 3 w” (but I’m not sure about the “a”, the “a” sounds cropped, could also be letter “r”). At the end the letters are “h c 0 3 w”.

   OK I guess now I have confused you. Sorry
   Anyway great show. If I have time I could record the letters g o d s p e e d = –. — -.. … .–. . . -.. for you using my own morse key.
   My CW (morse code) skills are a little bit rusty but it should work.

   Father, is the current chapel a part of the former nave, or one of the transepts that has been walled off? interesting layout….

   @Mark: oops, mistake in the RSS. The 3 minutes of black are caused by an annoying bug in iMovie - I couldn’t get rid of it.
   @Matthias: the morse code means nothing, it’s a sound effect from iMovie.
   @Zack: when I look at the floor plan on the website of the cathedral (http://www.dunkeldcathedral.org.uk), I think that the nave is actually the destroyed part, and the current church used to be the ‘quire presbytery’.

   Lovely episode - one of my favorites! I loved your background music as well as the handbells - very nicely done.

   Thanks, Father!

   I love the shots. Especially because you’re director, camera operator and host at the same time!

   Fr Roderick,

   Nice episode… I always wondered if the Church existed… I only know of it through a Celtic song by Andy M. Stewart. I have provided a link to the Lyrics and a sample of the song… it is quite amusing….

   …The Story goes………….. Finding the regime under the Church and it’s “fire and brimstone” minister far too rigid and strict for their tastes, the fun-loving inhabitants of this little Perthshire village got together one day–and hung him! They silenced the church bell and installed a large whisky-still in the church. Thus fortified and with McDonald their piper blasting away from the pulpit, their Sundays were transformed into a series of tremendous Ceilidhs.
