The Kilmorie Cross<\/p>\n
Yesterday P4-7 travelled to Kirkcolm Primary to enjoy a day of learning with them in the village hall \u2013 this was in conjunction with the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path Project. At first, we were told about the Rhins coastal path which is to be built over the over the next 2 years. Archaelogists are ready to start their careful examinations of the areas in which the paths will be created. In groups we went to visit the Kilmorie cross stone which is in Kirkcolm church yard. The stone has been there for, it is believed, about a 1000 years. The \u2018monk\u2019 explained that it told us the stories of the people living in the area at that time. On one side of the stone it had the Last Supper with the table held up by two drinking horns. And on the other side there was the story of Sigurd and the dragon. He was regarded as a Viking Superhero! We think people carved this stone and possibly added to it over the years \u2013 you had to look really closely to be able to spot the picture clues. There was a picture of Jesus on his cross. There were workshops to participate in:\u00a0 rune writing, weapons and artefacts with Sven, blacksmithing, a settler\u2019s game and a battle re-enactment. It is really cool to think these things were around all those years ago and we can still see them today!\u00a0We all got a tshirt with the newly-launched Rhins Coastal Path Project logo on it – it’s a version of the Viking rune symbol for a person.<\/p>\n
We had a great day with our friends from Kirkcolm. We learnt about our local area through fun activities! Thank you to the Rhins Coastal Path Project!<\/p>\n
