The Preston Mill, near East Linton in East Lothian. It is a renovated flour mill, owned by the National
Trust for Scotland. John's father, Ernest Weierter, like his Uncle Louis,
had an artistic side, and once drew this mill. It is one of several locations in Scotland that he drew,
including a number of sites in Corstorphine that were made into tourist postcards.

Scot's View
offers a sweeping view of the wide Tweed valley and the triple
peaks of the Eildon Hills (reputed to be the legendary sleeping place of King
Arthur and his knights.) It was
Sir Walter Scott's favorite view in Scotland.
He came here so often, that during his funeral parade, his horses stopped here
automatically because they always stopped here with their master.
