点评:This was unequivocally, the most interesting museum we’ve ever visited.
Mhairi was able to relay this quite remarkable man’s life-story in a brilliant fashion and no-matter how esoteric our questions, had the depth of knowledge to answer them.
The building itself is small but historic, being the original savings bank itself. However, it’s only one facet of the Rev. Duncan’s life. Embarrassingly, we’d not heard of this man despite him doing enough to fill five ample lives.
Quite unbelievable that he introduced banking for the peasants of the time, men, women & children, to be able to bank safely and amazingly allowed them to accrue interest on their meagre savings whilst not profiteering from this facility.
Without doubt, the most interesting museum we’ve ever visited. Mhairi’s knowledge & enthusiasm really made it stand out. Definitely worth the trip, the little hamlet & surrounding area are a little bonus.
Thank you.
翻译:这绝对是我们参观过的最有趣的博物馆。
Mhairi以出色的方式讲述了这位非凡人物的生平事迹。无论我们提出多么冷门的问题,她都具备深厚的知识储备来予以解答。
这座建筑虽小却极具历史意义——它原本就是那家储蓄银行。不过,这只是邓肯牧师生平的一个侧面而已。说来惭愧,尽管他的一生足以成就五个人的事业,我们却从未听说过他。实在令人难以置信:他为当时的农民——无论男女老少——设立了银行服务,让他们能够安全地进行储蓄;更了不起的是,他允许这些人从微薄的积蓄中获得利息,自己却并未借此牟利。
毫无疑问,这是我们参观过的最有趣的博物馆。Mhairi的渊博知识与热忱使得这次参观格外出色。此行绝对值得,而那个小村庄及周边地区更是一大额外惊喜。
谢谢。
