The KintyreMag
WebEdition 51 / March/April 2002
Welcome to the Fifty-first WebEdition of The Magazine.
This issue is quite special
to me. In it I share with you a series of e-mails between a gentleman called
Innes Wight, and myself. Rarely do I have the opportunity of making a wee
difference to someone's happiness, but this was an exception. Everything came
together here to make someone happy.
What more can one ask?
As ever, we have some stories from the hard-copy Magazine. Any of you readers out there who want to subscribe to the bi-annual, hard-copy Mag, need only contact me and we'll work something out at least cost to you. I'll accept dollars - or anything you want to throw at me. Let's keep the Mag going!
Every time I read Angus Martin's 'By Hill and Shore' I am transported right back to the hills of home. He writes so evocatively of Campbeltown and her surrounds, that a person can taste the sea air at the Gauldrons or look away across Kintyre from the top of Ben Gullion. My late e-friend Tex - sometimes known as Cordelia - is enjoying that view right now! Hey Cordelia - are y'all checking us out?
Until the next time,
Ca' canny
