Camping By The Ythan

A Memory of Gight.

In my last two years at the High School six  of us girls from there camped by the Ythan river at Gight Castle, they were Jeannie Smith, Doreen Ruddiman, Nora Henderson, Isobel Argo, my sister and I, Margaret Argo. We had two tents and took turns of cooking, shopping in Methlick, and drawing water from the Ythan to boil for drinking. We exlored the castle daily when we were not the duty two, and one night we decided to sleep out in the ruins under the stars. We were rudely awakened by a ram stumbling among the loose stones, we were terrified thinking that it was a ghost. We did not repeat the experience. Nora's brother Bill was camping nearby with the Scouts and sometimes came to visit, also my parents made random visits to check that we were alright. Happy, happy memories.
