	Carfin Lourdes Grotto
		The founder of this beautiful shrine, Canon Thomas Taylor, was inspired by a visit that he and a number of parishioners made to Lourdes around 1920, which led to the realisation of his dream - to build a replica of the Lourdes Grotto for the people of Scotland.
		Under the guidance of Canon Taylor, and with the willing help of many men during the Depression Years from the Carfin parish and neighbouring parishes, future generations have been left with a wonderful heritage and it is our privilege to preserve and enhance it.
		You may know Carfin Grotto well, you may very well have visited it as a child; you may be a regular visitor or you may never have had the opportunity to come and visit the Grotto — no matter!

	BBC - h2g2 - Carfin
		Carfin is a small village situated in the West of Scotland, a mile from the town of Motherwell.
		The population of Carfin is mostly Roman Catholic and this is attributable to the Carfin Grotto.
		Carfin is a great place to live since it is quite quiet when you want to relax but when you need some action, you are only a few minutes from the Motherwell town centre and less than half an hour by car from Glasgow city centre.

		The new Secretary of State John Reid, along with Scottish Secretary Helen Liddle, continues to be implicated in the fiasco surrounding the forced cancellation of Bertie Ahern's visit to unveil a famine memorial at Carfin in Lanarkshire.
		Carfin Grotto near Belshill has been a peaceful place of pilgrimage for some 80 years, but in the letter Roy insisted that it could become a flashpoint for sectarian violence if Ahern went ahead with the unveiling of a celtic cross to commemorate famine victims.
		Further, in the second paragraph, Roy specifically mentioned the fact that he was PPS to Helen Liddell, had been PPS to John Reid before that, and that prior to contacting Mulhall he had raised the matter with both of them.
