Open air communion services are being held at present in various parts of the Highlands. They are a curious link with the past. No where else in Scotland is. it possible at the present day to witness gatherings of this kind, which are a survival of the old "conventicle times." At Ferintosh, last week, worshippers were present from long distances, many of the people walking 10 or 12 miles over the hills in order to attend the communion and then walking home again. Two of the worshippers were Macdonalds from Australia, whose ancestors left the Highlands 70 years ago. Despite the lapse of years, they were able to trace many old family associations and they were greatly impressed by the deep-rooted piety which characterized - the communion services.
