Crail Parish Church – from a different angle

Crail Parish Church, Crail, Fife

A phone call from Giselle at Alton House this morning led to a chat about Twitter and how you can use it to promote your site and your business. But any chat about Twitter leads me into the time-consuming void which is my current Twitter addiction! Some people claim not to ‘get it’ and others like me think that it’s just the greatest fun.
So how does this have anything to do with Crail Parish Church? Here’s how it happens. I go into TweetDeck and set up a search for ‘Crail’ just to demonstrate to Giselle how she could find out what people are saying about Crail. There’s a problem. A “crail” (is it a c-rail?) is part of a skateboard, so we have to weed out all the mentions of ‘Crail Couch’ from the search as ‘On the Crail Couch’ is a YouTube channel where skateboarders talk about skateboarding stuff.
Then we’re looking (hopefully) at mentions of Crail, Fife on Twitter. And that’s where I find the link – Kim McGowan is a blogger who has written a post about her visit to the graveyard at Crail Parish Church. I’ve wandered through the church yard of Crail Parish Church many times, occasionally taking photographs, but more often on the way to visit my Dad’s grave for a few minutes of quiet reflection and a ‘chat’ with him and a nod to his boyhood friend Ernie whose grave is nearby. I’ve seen some of the things Kim talks about in her blog, but her writing has given me a whole new perspective for my next visit there. Go and read what she says, and maybe come and visit Crail soon.
