Some Links for the State of Maine where our ancestor Finley Kelloch settled in 1735
Serious Maine Links
(Humorous Maine Links are in the next section)
In this section I've
listed links to sites with information about Maine, how to get here and what you
might like to do and see while in Maine, and information about the State. Many of us Kallochs still reside
here, but for our many family and friends who come each year to our annual Kalloch Reunion held near Rockland, Maine, this page I hope will help.
Also there are some links to items that you can purchase from Maine, so that
you can have part of the state with you any time of year no matter where you
are.

Star light. Star bright, First star I see tonight;
Lead me out of stress and strain: Put me on the road to Maine.

Heritage
by Norma Kalloch
I must return to the rocky coast,
I must return to the sea,
Where for a number of remembered
years.
My soul arid my heart were free.
I must stand out on a barnacled
dock
And watch the seagulls soar,
I must feel the sand beneath my feet
As the sea resounds with a roar.
I must recapture the thrill, when I
Found driftwood on the shore,
And looked for shells in crevasses
Where none had looked before.
I must drink deep of the salt sea air
Intermingled oft’ with pine,
And sit enthralled on granite rocks
Where life and dreams entwine.
I must leave the city so cold,
so drear,
Yes, I must return to the sea
And the rocky coast where I was
born
That is still much a part of me.
