While we were waiting for Brodie Castle to open, we took a long walk down a colorful treed path...
...and ended up at a waterway filled with swans and ducks.
Two older Scottish girls and their younger brother joined us with old bread and began to feed the birds. The boy smiled at me and offered me a chunk of bread to feed to them also.
I was so touched by his generosity and had fun tossing bread to the eager swans and mallards. Sometimes it's just the smallest offers of friendship we can give that make all the difference in the world.
Thanks so much to the generosity of the young man for making my trip to Scotland even more special!
Heroes start out as small boys with big hearts.
