I must admit both Ann Yule and Colin Feguson, pictured here, were superb hosts at the Neil Gunn Trust Lecture. Entering the Eden Court for this event at the Inverness Book Festival, I was nervous. Introduced by Ann and thanked by Colin, it was easy to enjoy the warm Highland welcome and I hope I suitably 'roused the rabble.' Thanks again to all, including the folks at Capstone.


I thoroughly enjoyed your refreshingly different thoughts on land in Highland and how it is viewed now. Neil Gunn would probably agree with you about grasping opportunities here in the Highlands.
Highland Council and the Neil Gunn Trust have just launched the Neil Gunn Writing Competition for 2009 so I hope we see some contributions as stimulating and interesting as your talk was.
