Lesley lived here on Mull for the last years of her life. It was lovely to get to know her. She was such a brilliant and strong character, even into the depths of her illness. Her tales were superb. She's much missed.

Bloody hope not, that’s just round the corner from us!

It’s a hellscape.
We knew someone who would cling on to any thread of a conversation they’d had with anyone so as to post that they were a consultant on a project. So much so that I’m sure I even saw them enter an ongoing role as “Wiper @ Own Arse”

Scottish island to benefit from £200 million heritage funding package

A Scottish island is set to benefit from a £200 million fund aimed at helping areas 'unlock the potential of their heritage' 👇

This is great news. People in power can be held to account. What a hideous figure he is.

I’ve been collecting his 1st editions since I got into him. He’s just the best.

An ann a’ Bhernaraigh a tha sin? Tha am fear agam bho Tioridh.

I missed him when he came here to do a show on Mull. I was gutted.

There’s a very high chance you’ll love it!
